+Hoiditthroughthegrapevine Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) *EDIT* @Personification just alerted me, there's a HUGE thread on this already with amazing songs, you can find it here: Scene 1: A man lays prostrate on a circular stone platform, lit by a single spotlight. Behind this solitary figure a sheet with striated bands of different shades of grey roils tempestuously. Another figure, hidden in the darkness stage left, with hair spangled with glowing rubies and wearing a Vorin Havah approaches the prostrate figure while singing: Song 1: Memory (sung to the tune of Memory from Cats) Good Knight, Laid out on the Pavement, Has this man lost his memory? He is weeping alone In the dim light, the petaled shame collects at his feet And his Spren begins to moan. Every dead-voice seems to scream An Abominable witness, The Thrill it claims him, the dead-voices shame him, And he begs for forgiveness. Memory, All alone without Stormlight He can see her from old days She was beautiful then He remembers, he killed her and watched Rathalis burn Now her memory lives again Now for the game part, pick one of your favorite scenes from SLA, pick a song from a Musical, write alternate lyrics and link to a video of the song being sung so that Sharders can sing your altered lyrics to the tune of a musical number. Mwhahahah, let the fun begin. Edited December 11, 2017 by hoiditthroughthegrapevine 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainier Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Now I'm imagining characters in Stormlight projected onto Les Miserables... Kaladin would of course be Jean Valjean, as a former convict, singing Who Am I? as he decides whether he can reveal himself as Radiant... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rad, and of Course Lift would be Gavroche and would sing "Look Down, I Stole your Lunch". Kaladin is totally Jean Valjean, but hard to believe, maybe even more brooding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hoiditthroughthegrapevine Posted December 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Here's another one for your humble enjoyment. Szeth's New Knife (Sung to the tune of Mack the Knife from The Three Penny Opera) Oh the Sword has an aluminum sheath, dear Just to keep it, from leakin' Night That's a bald shin Szeth Son-Naturo, Yeah its you know, the Assassin in White. When the sword fights without his sheath, dear Midnight billows start to spread, lots of Stormlight needs shin Szeth, dear So he doesn't wind up dead In the Purelake, some poor crim'nal Lies in the water losing life Szeth the detective talks to sword Nimi "Why did that Reshi have a knife?" In a prison stinking awfully, Only one guard is found dead "Shouldn't you be Destroyin' Evil?" His sword Nimi, says in his head. Then shin Szeth finds the beefy Noble, who's been skimmin' off the cash. And then Nightblood destroys that evil, Did our Shin do something Rash? Here come Listeners, and Ner-agoul, that's Yelignar, and Odium Oh the chances look mighty slim, dear Glad sword Nimi's back in town Edited December 9, 2017 by hoiditthroughthegrapevine HOLY CRAP, JUST MADE THIS AWESOME!!!

PhineasGage Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 @hoiditthroughthegrapevine. These are seriously good. I am (almost) speechless! I know its Disney, but I could kinda see Shallan doing a Little Mermaid (A Part of that world) or Mulan (Reflections). You could probably do a real bitterweet "Thank-you for the Music" play on Evi - ("I'm nothing special, in fact, I'm a bit of a bore" sounds like something she'd think about herself - and she probably thought she was lucky despite all evidence to the contrary) And you could totally have a scene of "So Long, Farewell" (The Sound of Music) where all the Bridgecrews say goodbye to Sadeas after Dalinar frees them I'd love to help but I am not sure I'd even know how to begin! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) I thought of Les Miserables too, and I figured Nale should be Javert. So I rewrote the "Stars" song a bit: STORMS performed by Nalan'Elin, Herald of Justice There, out on Roshar A radiant running Without Honor Cause Honor is dead Ishar be my witness I never shall yield Till I've slaughtered them all Till I've slaughtered them all They know their way, with the surges Mine is the way of the law Those who follow the path of the Skybreakers, shall have their reward And if they fail, as the old Radiants failed The Blades The spren!

The assembled heads of state of Roshar are looking to Dalinar as he begins to explain all about.... SONG: Urithiru (Sung to the Tune of Oklahoma, from the musical Oklahoma): We couldn't pick a better place to wage these fights! It ain't too easy to use an Oathgate I've been livin' here with my Radiant Knights, Soon we'll be fightin' the shard of Hate The Shard of hate That don't sound great Gonna grow some lavis, tallew and chicken parts, Pasture for the great shells So we can harvest gem hearts Flowers on the prarie where the wind spren zoom Plen'y o' air and plen'y o' room Plen'y o room to swing your shard Plen'y o heart cuz we try real hard Urithiru where the storms come sweeping down the plain Where the lavis wheat could sure smell sweet If we could find that sibling to train Urithiru ev'ry night my gem heart and I Sit alone for reals and watch sky eels Making lazy circles in the sky. We know we'll defend the land And the tower we belong to is grand And when we say Kalak!

Empty vests and empty sandals, Now my men are dead and gone.… There's a grief that can't be spoken, There's a pain goes on and on. Empty vests and empty sandals, Now my men are dead and gone. Here they ate out of Rock’s stew pot, Here we sat around the flame, Here they had hope for freedom and freedom never came. From the practice in the chasms, They could see themselves reborn, And the sounds of battle ringing, And I can hear them now The very words that they have sung Became their last communion On this lonely bridge crew, at dawn. Oh my men, my men forgive me That I live and you are gone There's a grief that can't be spoken, And there's a pain goes on and on Phantom faces at the doorway, Phantom voices in the storm, Empty vests and empty sandals which my men will wear no more. Oh my men, my men don't ask me What your sacrifice was for Empty vests and empty sandals For Dunny will sing no more.

What sort of voidspren is he To be binding surges When Truthless they called me? Is this hour my last Does this news seal my fate? Can I even last Against his living shardblade? All it will take Is a flick of his spear. I am Truthless Yet there’s a Surgebinder here! Damned for my crimes as the tool of a thief! Damned for my loyalty to the Shin race I walked on stone, but the stone is not walked. I'll spit their punishment back in their face They sentenced me because they don’t care And now I see my oaths were just air! And my thoughts fly apart Can this man be believed? Was my slaughter unbidden? Was I really deceived? And must I now begin to doubt, Who never doubted all these years? My heart is stone and still it tremblesThe world I have known is lost in shadow. Is he from Ashyn or from Braize? And does he know That while he proved me right today This man has killed me even so? I am reaching, but I fall And the storms are black and cold As I stare into the void Of a world that cannot hold I'll escape now from that world From the world that called me wrong. There is nowhere I can turn There is no way to go on! "Fire and Rain" (as sung by Dalinar) To the tune of the song with the same title by James Taylor Spoiler "Fire and Rain" (as sung by Dalinar) To the tune of the song with the same title by James Taylor Just yesterday morning, they let me know that you were gone. Evi, the plans we made put an end to you. I walked out this morning and I thought up this song, I just can't remember who to sing it to. I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen battle craze that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I had no one to rend, But I always thought that I'd see you again. Won't you look down upon me, Honor, You've got to help me make a stand. You've just got to see me through another day. My body's aching and my time is at hand And I won't make it any other way. Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen battle craze that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I had no one to rend, But I always thought that I'd see you again. Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun. Lord knows when the stormwind blows it'll turn your head around. Well, there's hours of time on this spanreed of mine to talk about things to come. Sweet dreams and war machines in pieces on the ground. Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen battle craze that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I had no one to rend, But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now. Thought I'd see you one more time again. There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now. Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now.

And soon I'll match them in renown And nobody in Alethkar No princes that there are or were Is ever gonna bring me down! "Thrill's in the Battle" as sung by Dalinar to the tune of "Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin Spoiler My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there was folks to kill, and hell to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew He'd say, I'm gonna be like you, dad You know I'm gonna be like you And the Thrill’s in the battle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon When you coming home, dad?

aemetha Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) I'll take a stab at one. This is a parody of a song by Denis Leary, entitled after a body part. I've removed the worst of the vulgar language from it, but it has some colourful terms so if you find those offensive, don't open the spoiler. Spoiler Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the Rosharan Dream About me, about you About the way our Rosharan gemhearts beat way down in the bottom of our chests About that special feeling we get in the cockles of our gemhearts Maybe below the cockles Maybe in the sub cockle area Maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys Maybe even in the carapace, we don't know I'm just a regular shard, with a regular intent I'm your average jovial, sociopath god I like gluttony and hedonism and starting new wars I got an average damnation, on the planet next door My unmade and my intent, my void and my storm My thoughts in your head, and your last high kings corpse. But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep a shard like me interested (Oh no, no way, uh uh) No I gotta go out and have fun at some other shards expense (Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) I steal their passion and leave them the blame For people on shardworlds going insane I'm a cremhole (he's a cremhole, what a cremhole) I'm a cremhole (he's a cremhole, such a cremhole) I use other shards spren and I corrupt their intent I walk around with a smile, while encouraging revenge I'm a cremhole (he's a cremhole, what a cremhole) I'm a cremhole (he's the cosmere's biggest cremhole) Sometimes I corrupt really good people Because really good people only belong in the prequel I'm a cremhole (he's a cremhole, what a cremhole) I'm a cremhole (he's a real storming cremhole) Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song Ranting and raving and carrying on Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong... Nah I'm a cremhole (he's a cremhole, what a cremhole) I'm a cremhole (he's the cosmere's biggest cremhole) You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a skybreaker herald Dark skinned, with a white mark And all black clothing And two shardblades to use at the same time, yeah! And I'm gonna send that guy to hunt you all down Killing people for minor crimes as he goes Making barely rational philosophical justifications In the old fashioned good versus evil and nothing in between fashion And after he’s finished killing all you radiants I'm gonna wipe my mouth with corpse of your bondsmith And then I'm gonna toss the souls right across to Braize And there ain't a sharddamn thing anybody can do about it You know why, because we've got the dawnshards, that's why Two words, invested storming weapons, OK? Alethkar, Jah Keved, Thaylenah, they can have all the honor they want They can have a big honor cakewalk Right through the middle of Urithiru And it won't make a lick of difference Because we've got the dawnshards, OK? Meridas Amaram’s not dead, he's a cognitive shadow And as soon as we find a cure for being chopped into pieces We're gonna bring Amaram back across and he's gonna be pretty pissed off You know why Have you ever cut your finger? Well multiply that by 15 million times That's how pissed off the Amaram's gonna be! I'm gonna get Amaram, and Moash And Sadeas, and Ialai, and a case of purple And march down to Kholinar and (Hey! You know, you really are a cremhole!) Why don't you just shut up and sing the song, pal? I'm a cremhole (he's a cremhole, what a cremhole) I'm a cremhole (he's the cosmere's biggest cremhole) C-R-E-M-H-O-L-E Everybody C-R-E-M-H-O-L-E I'm a cremhole and I'm proud of it Heh, it autocorrected to an improved version!

Oh baby you don't know what you do to me, this is fantastic. I only wish you had him do the "This I swear by the stars" line at the end. Now I'm going to have to try a re-setting of One Day More, with the whole cast. Or, my favorite musical, Dogfight, with First Date/Last Night as a date between Adolin and Shallan. Spoiler EDIT: I did it. I'm not too proud, except for the part that I totally am. Not a date between Shallan and Adolin, but instead set in the chasms when Shallan and Kaladin are trapped (because I'm a shameless Shalladin shipper and I'll go down with the ship, damnit). This takes place after the highstorm, while they're walking back. Without further ado, I present Highstorm/Last Night: Shallan: Stormlight, dun glow A light that saves your life when power flows Well, let it pour Just cover up whatever came before Kaladin: Highstorm, whips through And makes you do some crem you'd never do Shardblade near: how the hell did it get here? BOTH: And we go Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum Don't know how s/he survived the fall (x2) Shallan: I'll lead the way Though how I do, to him, I'll never say. What he saw? Kaladin: *cough* Shallan: What? Kaladin: Huh? Shallan: Don't expect too much, just draw Kaladin: Bright eyes, frank stare Yeah her eyes are light Why do you care? What took hold? Look at her, she looks so... cold BOTH: And we go Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum Don't know how s/he survived the fall (x2) Shallan: He protects me holding Pattern's blade He'd be dying Kaladin: She'd be dead BOTH: If you had stayed And you might miss Any good that could come After this Shallan: Highstorm Kaladin: Last night BOTH: Almost was revealed, but not quite Kaladin: So bring her out Shallan: Give him a shot BOTH: Cause people can surprise you... or not And we go Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum Edited December 11, 2017 by Rainier Lyrics, bad ones 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crem-hole, I think that might actually be worse than the original, I mean dude should probably see a GI doc if they have a case of Crem-hole. Haven't heard the Denis Leary song in question, but that's some funny rust brother. 3 hours ago, Rainier said: Shallan: Highstorm Kaladin: Last night BOTH: Almost was revealed, but not quite Ahhh, the tension, C'est lamour 40 minutes ago, Rainier said: Let's get down to business to survive the runs When they send new members, their minds are dun. You're the saddest bunch I've ever met, but you can bet before we're through Mister I'll make a crew out of you! Nice! Speaking of Disney songs, I posted this one on the Cosmere! The Musical thread. This is Taravangian singing "Be Prepared" from the Lion King: Spoiler SETTING: Taravangian's private quarters in Urithiru, where the test to determine his intelligence level is administered every day. Taravangian paces in agitation, Adrotagia, Mrall and a couple of Mr. T's personal attendants are in the room, waiting to hear his instructions. It's obviously one of his better days. Song: Be Prepared (sung to Be Prepared from the Lion King) I know your powers of retention Are as thick as a chull's carapace But dense as you are, pay attention The diagram's losing its place It's clear from your vacant expressions The light has gone out of your spheres. But were talking 'bout True Desolations Even half-wits should be in tears So prepare for the end of some lifetimes, Be prepared for some terrible news. The True Desolation shows our desperation. Then what's the embargo? Just listen to Vargo I know it sounds sordird But look what that war did When the Radiants said that we're through! A small piece we can save 'cause we dared, Be Prepared! Yeah! Be prepared. We'll be prepared! For what? For the end of all things. End Odium? No, Fools! We're going to join him. And kill kings, too Great idea! Who needs a king? No King, No king! La la la la la! Idiots! There will be a king! But you said.... I will be king! Stick with me and the one true diagram! Yay, all right! Long live the king! Long live the king! It's great that the we'll soon be protected By a king who'll save all of Roshar Of course, some must go, it's expected The diagram's been quite clear so far. The future is mostly surmises And though I'm the smartest you'll see The point that I must emphasize is, You can't change a bit without me! So prepare to kill most of this country Be prepared for the bloodiest hands (Oooo, la-la-la-la) Morality's bending (Who needs good?) The world it is ending— (That's not good) Kharbranth can be spared (In defeat) If I haven't erred, (We're dead meat) To see unpolluted My genius is too good To not patch up the true Diagram Yes, my goal's low for who can be spared Be prepared! Yes, our goal's low for who can be spared, Be Prepared! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainier Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) One more from Dogfight, this time a Bridge Four squire training session set to Some Kinda Time. I present Some Kinda Light Spoiler Quote You better call the spren and give ‘em warning Sound the siren, bang the bell A brand new squire begins his soaring On his way to raise some hell No sweepin’ us out, or keeping us quiet Try it! From Urithiru, among the mountains See us as we hit the sky Lock your door and hide your stormlight, As we're learning how to fly Going all in, Suckin up stormlight to fight Bridge Four is here, there's no need to fear We’ll be breathing some kinda light Some kinda light, Livin’ it large Makin’ noise because Bridge Four is now in charge Some kinda light Breathe in stormlight, we’ll be Knights for an evening Gonna be breathing some kinda light. (spoken) I hear you guys are building a little bridge crew, Bridge Four. I want in. You know the rules? Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination. You know about the spren? Sure do. Looks like an outstanding candidate to me (sung) We’re gonna fly the skies and find some trouble, One more fight we won't forget Breathe so deep we’re seeing double, One more fight with no regret Anything goes, weightless and cruisin' Who's in? A band of brothers you’ve been given, Pride you never thought you’d feel The storming life that you were living Barely seems like it was real Cause when it gets rough, Your crew will pull you Right through You get that and more when you join Bridge Four You’re in store for some kinda light Some kinda light Don’t think it through Cause your spren will tell you when you’re nearly due Some kinda light Breathe in stormlight, We’ll be knights for an evening Don’t you miss out on some kinda light Goodbye to where we die in blood and lies, and endless gore No more being left behind, for them to find when stocks grow poor Farewell to bridge runs, we're in the sun and we want more Bridge down for you, come have some stew So raise your cup and eat it up. And eat it up (repeated) A wild flight on my first breath of stormlight The storming sky is ours to borrow Nothing standing in our way The storming world will change tomorrow So we go for broke today Makin it count, taking that one shot We’ve got You just don’t know when the light might go Here’s to Dalinar and to Alethkar Some kinda light Take what we're owed With a wam bam, thank you, ma’am Bridge Four will glow Some kinda light Breathe in stormlight We are knights for an evening What do you say to some kinda light? No, don’t mind a... Gotta go find a... Leave it behind a... Gonna be having some kinda light Edited December 11, 2017 by Rainier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One jump ahead of the Azish That's all, and to put it bluntly These guys don't 'preciate I'm hungry Azish: Riffraff! Street rat! Soundrel! Take that! Lift: Just a little snack, guys Skybreakers: Rip her open, take it back, guys Lift: I can take a hint, gotta face the facts You're my only friend, Voidbringer! Wyndle: But! Azish: Oh it's sad Lift has hit the bottomLift: Cept I was never at the top Azish: I'd blame parents except she hasn't got 'em Lift: Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat Tell you all about it when I got the time!
