Song of Eru:

Enjoy the earth, thats its purpose

to provide shelter, your lifes worth it.

I create the sun, and I create the stars

So my lovely creatures see how beautiful things are.

The waters sing and the mountains rise

Their echoes dance under and in the skies.

All hearts shall unite, as that is my will.

Trust in me, Eru can overcome any hill.

This is a symphony of peace, and eternal rhymes.

I unite all, with my thunderous chimes.

Each note I create holds love and grace.

Your purpose is to appreciate the beauty of this place.

And so, I make my vision take flight.

It runs with the animals of the day, and the creatures of night.

All that hear, stop moving around

Sing the song of Eru, and sing it loud.


Song of Melkor

Brothers and Sisters, I know we sing nice,

But we have free will, lets change the chyme,

Yes our lord has created a nice symphony,

But let me lead, and see the beauty in my melody,

Its truly unfair, it raises my hair,

The melodies in my mind are things the world should hear,

One stands in my way, and we know his name,

It’s a shame, and why am I the only one who complains

So I will tear the world apart,  and shatter any heart,

As I am just as good as eru, but no one lets me start

I will defy our,  “sacred” , tune

In order to control all, earth, the stars and the moon.

Despite the discord, I will continue to demand

Any who sings my song to follow my command.

Eru’s Song Instrumental: Ayonha
Melkors Song Instrumental : JPEGMAFIA - CULT STATUS - Instrumental


Explanation for Lyrics and Instrumental Beats:


In Eru's song, I chose the lyrics I used because I feel like they communicate a positive message centered around solidarity and appreciation. Eru seems like the type of deity that is concerned with his creations appreciating what he makes and them living together peacefully. The lyrics I chose emphasize this, with lines like “Your purpose is to appreciate the beauty of this place” blatantly communicating my belief that Eru wants his subjects to appreciate Middle-earth and the universe. With Melkor's song, I wanted to communicate Melkor's arrogance and his aspirations to be the almighty, second to none, and more powerful than Eru. I also wanted to focus on his jealousy and growing hatred due to not being in charge. I did this with lines like “I am just as good as Eru, but no one lets me start” and “But let me lead, and see the beauty in my melody.” These excerpts communicate Erus's burning desire to lead the symphony and the jealousy and hatred that arise because he is not allowed to. In terms of the instrumentals, I chose the instrumental version of Hamid El Shaeri – Ayonha for Erus's song and the instrumental version of JPEGMAFIA - CULT STATUS. I chose Ayonha for Eru’s song because it is a peaceful melody that fits the theme of solidarity and coming together, things I believe Eru prioritizes with his creations. I chose Jpegmafia’s “Cult Status” instrumental because it is a melody of discord and is what I imagine Eru’s melody started to turn into once Melkor started trying to make it his.

    I love how in Eru's song, the theme of unity and peace really stands out! His song also uses very positive words, and it adds to the idea that Eru is focused on making Arda as beautiful as possible for his Children. As for Melkor's song, you can clearly see his selfish attitude as a majority of the lyrics are about himself and his jealousy. Both songs are really well written!

    I think that you did a great job of showing the different personalities of Eru and Melkor. By reading these lyrics, I really get a glimpse into who these characters are and what their priorities are. You can see that Eru wants what is best for its creation, and doesn't care about power. In Melkor's song, you can hear the jealousy that fuels him, and see that his intentions are not pure.

HW 9/15 Bio on the Maiar

 The lord Iluvator created me to inhabit Ea alongside my senior peers. We call these peers the Valar, and we are all Ainur. However, our lord has created us for distinct reasons, and so we follow the commands of our exalted peers. We do have many powers, but we only use them to do the bidding of the Valar and our lord. We do not have one form but instead look mystical to the elves and men of Middle-earth. We Maia under the Valar do many different things. Under Varda we serve as protectors of the stars. Varda was responsible for the bright lights that were conveyed in Valinor, so the Maia under Varda assist in the display of light. We serve her diligently because the stars create hope in all creatures that inhabit middle earth. Under Aule we Maia are intellectually stimulated. We must craft items and understand the materials our world generously bestowed upon us by the great Iluvator contains. We study the stones and minerals of the earth, the lakes, the air, and all things natural ...

  The coming of men, the second children of Iluvatar, is an exciting thing I am witnessing. I am Melian, a Maia. I keep thinking about when the Atani crossed into Beleriand. I felt their footsteps, as they were a giant wave in the world of Arda. These humans were full of hope. But my foresight into the future causes me sadness, as I cannot forget what I see. I am scared that these new children of iluvatar have dreams that are too bold. They are mortals with dreams that require lifetimes. Furthermore, they are a new species in our uncertain world. Will they be corrupted by Melkor and be the nail in our coffin? All of these thoughts trouble me. However, I do have faith. I have seen and persisted through so much, and I don't expect the arrival of humans to disrupt me any more than past events have. I trust in the eldar, and have confidence in Thingol's strength. I will remain in Doriath, faithfully guarding the people who have placed their trust in me. While men step into our worl...
