The Brandy Badgers visited Winterstock again today, Saturday January 18. It was a grand time as usual. Old friends (and new), lovely music, and the music community in LOTRO was at its usual friendly best.
About the song
Still, coming just a few weeks after the new LOTRO server announcement, this was likely the last Winterstock on Landroval. And it was definitely the last time the Badgers performed here while calling Laurelin their home. Once the new 64-bit servers open, and unless something dramatic happens, we are headed for the Meriadoc server.
Naturally, this had to be covered in a song. Badgers don't enjoy leaving their old setts to move to a different part of the forest, after all. So here's a mellow cheerer-upper for all worried badgers. I am sure things will turn out alright in the end!
Best sung to Run by Snow Patrol, which yer can listen to below. Also, here is the full Badger set(t)list from tonight's show.
Grand Badger Moving Song
I know it's hard to say farewell
This old tree has served you well
But now at last the leaves will fall
And blow away
I know the road ahead is hard
Will doubt and worry leave you scarred?
But know that you are not alone
We'll find our way
Come on, let's go
To where the tall beeches grow
Sweeter berries found in a distant wood
Where the badger life will be good
The sun will shine
Blue skies make yer feel divine
Deeper setts for snoozing and feeling fine
With endless jam and lashings of wine
And there will be no need to fear
We’ll meet other badgers there
They'll know where juicy berries grow
We'll be alright
Come on, let's go
To where the tall beeches grow
Sweeter berries found in a distant wood
Where the badger life will be good
The sun will shine
Blue skies make yer feel divine
Deeper setts for snoozing and feeling fine
With endless jam and lashings of wine
And now's the time
Shake off all the winter's rime
Mornings always bright when the badgers sing
Greeting the arrival of spring
Come on, let's go
To where the tall beeches grow
Play a song that makes every badger proud
Merry makes for music that's loud
And now's the time
Shake off all the winter's rime
Mornings always bright when the badgers sing
Greeting the arrival of spring
Run
And here's Run by Snow Patrol
