fantasy – Page 18 – Yeah, Filk!

Too depressing to be a parody, so call it a remix of Heather Alexander’s Neverland, from Wendy’s POV. There’s a recording (just singing, no accompaniment) here.

Ravens in the Library – S. J. Tucker

July 6, 2015 by axonsandsynapses

My friend bids me come and see
the ravens in the library
setting quiet pages free.

“Ravens in the Library,” by S. J. Tucker. It’s just about what it says on the tin, but what it says on the tin is pretty neat.

Dance in the Circle – Heather Alexander

July 5, 2015 by axonsandsynapses

But please come, join, dance in the circle,
The voices will make your heart yearn–
To please come, join, dance in the circle,
But know that you’ll never return–

“Dance In The Circle,” a fairy song by Heather Alexander

Cheshire Kitten (We’re all mad here) – S. J. Tucker

July 1, 2015 by axonsandsynapses

Sun up, sun down the shadows hide me down in
Wonderland, Wonderland, nobody knows the way,
but if you find it in your dreams, you can
find it at your dayjob
somewhere south of Hell

“Cheshire Kitten (We’re all mad here),” by S. J. Tucker

A babe was all she asked for, and their promises they’d kept

A fairy story from Heather Dale.

The Maiden and the Selkie – Heather Dale

June 27, 2015 by axonsandsynapses

‘I have come in from the ocean
I have come in from the sea
And I’ll not go to the waves, love,
Lest ye come along with me.’

“The Maiden and the Selkie,” by Heather Dale
Since the only other selkie song is “The Great Selkie of Sule Skerry,” I’m not used to happy endings, but occasionally it seems to work out.

Damn Those Dwarves – Kari Maaren

June 25, 2015 by axonsandsynapses

Unsurprisingly, I guess, the legendary (at least, I think she should be legendary) songwriter of “Everybody Hates Elves,” has another one about dwarves.
