Hace unos años escribí una editorial para la página web de la Sociedad Tolkien Peruana (http://www.tolkienperu.org/) donde hablaba de la “Música de Tolkien” y hacia referencia a una serie de bandas que se inspiraron en la obra de JRR Tolkien para crear música, recientemente descubrí que Mountain (la de “Mississipi Queen”), para mi, una de las bandas precursoras del Heavy Metal también había hecho música inspirada en Tolkien, ellos el año de 1971 editaron este magnífico album llamado “Nantucket Sleighride” con tremendas canciones como “Travellin’ in the Dark” o la misma que da nombre al disco (posteriormente inmortalizada por Quartz banda de la NWOBHM), en ese disco se encuentra la canción “Tired Angels” que es un tema inspirado en el Rey de Gondor, acá les dejo la letra para que la disfruten:
"Put their shoulders to the big wheel. work their fingers to the bone
Take their pleasures in the future, put it down and bring it home
Walk around into the sundown, looking for an honest man
Gentle people seeing too much, aching to be what they can
Angels, tired angels
Tired down inside their shoes
All wanting grace
They live again rhythm lines on the king of Gondor's face
Children, gentle children
Gentle leaving to the wars
They found their place
And live again their rhythm lives on the king of Gondor's face
Sinking down into the lame words, overflowing with their sorrows
Praying for it all to cease fire, saturated with desire
Standing up to all the brave men, laughing hollow at the day's end
Walking back and give a handshake, this is just another bad break"
Si pueden busquen el disco y traten de escucharlo, es altamente recomendable.
