Cheyenne Sedai Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Building from the foundation @Lindel set, me and @voidlightx completed the lyrics for the Stormlight version of the first Hamilton song. It was really fun, and I'm really proud of how it turned out. We are planning on doing a full cast recording if it's possible, so if you want to join, DM me, I'm creating a discord group to coordinate everything. Spoilers through RHYTHM OF WAR. Spoiler Kaladin Knight Radiant [MOASH] How does a darkeyed, bridgeman, son of a surgeon With depression dropped in the middle of a Forsaken spot on the shattered plains By Amaram enslaved left impotent Go on to be a hero and a Radiant? [LOPEN] A Windrunner this fighter’s load ain’t gettin’ lighter Got a lot farther by working a lot harder, And being a fearless charger Never fallin’ to the archers For months he kept on runnin’, thinkin’ he’d die like a martyr [ROCK] And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away Across the plains he struggled to keep his guard up Inside, he was wishing all the pain and darkness would stop The brother was ready to jump to end it forever [TEFT] Then an Honorspren came, with an invitation to stay Our man saw a glimmer of hope, turning night to day With Stormlight like the old Knights, started fighting in a new way Swore an oath in the frey, a storming brilliant display [MOASH] Well the word got around, they said, here comes a Desolation Started speaking the Ideals, the Journey before Destination Honor may be dead, but I’ll see what I can do. All of Roshar’s gonna know about your you. What’s your name, man? [KALADIN] I’m Kaladin, Knight Radiant, That’s right I’m Kaladin Knight Radiant And with what little strength I haven’t spent I’ll keep them safe, keep them safe [SYL] When he was twelve, his father thieved, disbelieved, truth-hidden Three years later, see Stormblessed and his brother fear-ridden Half-dead fightin’ ‘gainst their own kin, Roshar’s sin [FULL COMPANY EXCEPT KALADIN (whispering)] And Stormblessed was relentless but his brother didn’t win [DALINAR & COMPANY] Moved against Helaran, the others called it suicide Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside A voice saying “Stormblessed, you gotta pick up yourself.” He didn’t retreat, was branded with ‘sas nahn’ and lost himself [MOASH & COMPANY] There would have been nothin’ left to do For someone less resolute He woulda been dead, dropped by the arrows Without a grieving tear of sadness Started tryin', fightin' for his late brother's Highprince Tradin’ knobweed sap and stems and all the things he couldn’t pinch Scammin' for every mark he can get his hands on Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on (ooh) The edge of the Gate headed for a new land In Urithiru you can be a new man [COMPANY & KALADIN] In Urithiru you can be a new man (I’ll keep them safe) In Urithiru you can be a new man (I’ll keep them safe) In Urithiru you can be a new man In Urithiru I’ll keep them safe! [COMPANY] Kaladin, Knight Radiant! (Kaladin, Knight Radiant!) We are waiting in the field for you (waiting in the field for you) You could never back down You never learnt to hate the fight! Oh, Kaladin, Knight Radiant! (Kaladin, Knight Radiant!) When Alethkar sings for you Will they know what you overcame? Will they know you rewrote the game? Roshar will never be the same, oh [MOASH, MEN, & COMPANY] The crew is in the chasm now See if you can spot them Keep them safe Another shash-branded slave Comin’ up from the bottom Keep them safe His enemies destroyed his rep And Alethkar forgot him [SKAR & DREHY] We fought with him [TEFT] Me? I died for him [DALINAR] Me? I trusted him [SYL & SHALLAN & TARAH & LYN] Me? I loved him [MOASH] And me? I'm the damn fool that lost him [COMPANY] And with what little strength I haven’t spent I’ll keep them safe! [MOASH] What's your name, man? [KALADIN] Kaladin, Knight Radiant! We hope you enjoyed it.

It was strange seeing how many parallels there are between Hamilton and Stormlight! Yeah. The song is harder than it seems, but in the end all the lyrics fit perfectly. Thank you for lending your talent with actually converting ideas to verses that work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evie and I thought about that, but we know that would take time, and there are problems timeline wise because there are events from all over the series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have the same living energy about them despite in contrast to what one would expect both being in the literal or technological "past". By Presenting their characters in modern style rather than an archaic or classical format it gives a sense of things happening in the present allowing the audience to relate to the character in an easier and more immediatly than in other fantasy novels, like say, "The Hobbit". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great analysis there. Very interesting point 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindel Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 This is wonderful! I really like the addition of who says each line, there are some great choices there that add a lot to it. I'm glad you decided to finish this, I got really busy with work and classes, and haven't had any time to even think about it for a while, haha.
