For some reason, we haven't been able to work as swiftly as before. I'm not really sure what's the bottleneck. Regardless, we're still having fun playing these arrangements and covers! This time we've used one of the happiest tracks from the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. The lyrics are based on a speech by Bilbo Baggins, heard at the beginning of the film "The Fellowship of the Ring". I've placed the lyrics inside the video, though you can read them below as well. Happy sailing for now, more to come!

Lyrics:
We've been living and farming
In the four Farthings of the Shire
Gazing upon our grass growing
Everyday for hundreds of years

We ignore and are ignored
By the world of the Big Folk
Neither renowned as great warriors
Nor among the wise
We must seem of little importance, Middle-earth being
Full of strange creatures
Among them we must look quite small after all

We don't care for anything
But peace and quiet at any cost
'Tis where our hearts really lie
Our own home is what we cherish the most

And this is how, I'm telling you my friends,
This is how we have and will forever live

In the great Big Folk world
We all live in peace

We've been living and farming
In our beloved home of the Shire
For you know, it is not a bad thing
To celebrate a simple life
