Faquhar

Lyrics&music by Mats Hanssen - backing vocals and jazz hands by Wyff aka. Ubrukelig Emithriel.



Em -- C -- G -- D
I'm world weary like Frodo
ready to be extinct like the Dodo
I walk this earth in search
of Shade and Shelter
Longing to Find Love, like
Gamgee loved his Baggins
G -- Em -- D -- C -- G
I'm Faquhar; now I see
I might have tried to reach to far

Chorus: G -- Em -- D -- C
Faquhar, Faquhar; you walked the road alone
now you'll never see the end that we saw
Faquhar, you chose a different path than us
and you'll never get to feel what we felt
Faquhar, Faquhar; there's pity in your song
cause even greater strength must fail in the end

Now Tinkerbell assured me
the blessings all where true
Sol would warm my back
I'd find sweet water where I sat
but I find my lips are always dry
my soul is burning me alive
I'm Faquhar, Faquhar; now I see
I tried to reach to far

Chorus: G -- Em -- D -- C
Faquhar, Faquhar; you walked the road alone
now you'll never see the end that we saw
Faquhar, you chose a different path than us
and you'll never get to feel what we felt
Faquhar, Faquhar; there's pity in your song
cause even greater strength must fail in the end

The road has been a lonesome one
what light I saw were far away
Enlightenment eluded me
all wisdom found seem false to me
(Yeah, well) now I know my burning heart
will dwindle out in darkness - in darkness
I'm Faquhar, I'm //so so// sad to say
I tried - I tried - to reach to far

  2. My humblest thanks to both of you :)I nurture no hope of becoming a professional musician - I acctualy don't even have much of hopes of ever really becoming a 'musician', at all.

    As to the issue of voice+ Im so-so-so-so sad to say that I from natures side have been blessed with very little musical talent. I play the guitar badly. I sing badly. And when I try to do both things at the same time while someone else is playing or singing along it gets even worse.

    I guess "Surrender" on 'The Lions of Zion Sessions' bootleg is the best I can possibly do vocaly.

    So, then, I guess my only hope for some sort of fame and fortune is that someone talented and beautifull will pick up my songs and make them #1 hits :)

  3. If U really believe you cannot make it better sound-wise, then keep up with writing lyrics and try to persuade someone voice-talented to sing it. There is some of them promoting themselves on YT, singing various covers - I would suggest starting from this as it is easiest way (however better forget about copyrights there :P) and at least some thousands of people will hear it. Good luck! ;)
