Aloft in the Storm Aloft in the Storm
Symphonic metal styled ballad, with sojourner themes...as we are so wont to do.

The Night Train The Night Train
A song that's steampunk in ambiance and allusion more than anything else. Love the eerie open sound of a city deserted after dark--and the idea of keeping faith with passing trains someday you'll be somewhere new...

Wash of the Sea Wash of the Sea
The fading of Lorien--one of the saddest elements of Tolkien's saga, for me.

Lament for a Wizard Lament for a Wizard
The fall of Gandalf in Moria, narrative song.

Under the Orange Trees Under the Orange Trees
fun ballad in tribute to an odd romance: Queen Irene and Eugenides, Thief for her rival. This one is acoustic, stripped down, and happy despite all odds. (Kind of like the story itself.)

Stealing Peace Stealing Peace
Gen&Attolia: Fan anthem for the Queen's Thief series, particularly Queen of Attolia

Entmarch Entmarch
An eerie chant, setting the Ents' battle cries as they prepare to unleash the wrath of the forest on Saruman

Not My Burden Not My Burden
A new worship song: Romans 7&8 contain powerful statements of the war between our sinful flesh and our redeemed nature, and that the gospel is still at work. The lyric is merely reworded from those passages.

Momentous Momentous
Rough Take: Reflective song on the idea of the incarnation of God into a man--a bit more mellow and jazzy than our usual, so slotted into New Age for lack of better ideas. We'll be recording it more formally soon.

Born Under a Star Born Under a Star
very rough draft (live & unpracticed)--Christmas song of sorts. We had new microphones and I LIKE the way my voice sounds for the first time ever, hearing it. Had to post for friends...

Home Station Home Station
a bit of fun rock--ratings pending for subway grunge and fantasy references...

Over the Fences Over the Fences
Eerie sound and ambiguous meaning were the goal with this song, one of the first for our urban fantasy themed project.

At the Golden Perch At the Golden Perch
This is a silly song...worse, it's a roughly produced silly song. But what's life for if not a bit of fun? This is supposed to sound like a bar-ballad. There is obnoxious clapping and whistling and a bit of attention from the barmaid.

Shield's Edge Shield's Edge
An anthem for little people and normal characters in extreme situations.

Home in the Shire Home in the Shire
The very quiet love story of Sam and Rosie is one of solid trust, of simplicity and homey joy. I imagine that just as Sam's hopes to make a life with Rosie sustained him at the very end, she was standing up to the infiltrating of the Shire and hopin
