Hey, write me if you disagree.
Okay, the song consists of a riff over the verses and then
a simple chord progression for the chorus. Here's the riff:
-------------------------------------------|
------3---------3---------3-------3--------|
----0---0-----0---0-----0---0--------------|
--------------------------------0-------0--|
--0-------0-2-------2-3-------3-----0h1----|
-------------------------------------------|
it's basically a C chord with a walking bass note.
Play the riff over the verses.
[verse]
we sing the the nightingale song alive
streets never border further than my sight
we sing the nightingale song alive
we might be different but our hearts won't lie
[chorus]
F
And little ever changes
Am
If anything at all
G C G
But the song sings loudly through these halls
[verse]
we sing the nightingale song alive
we might be different but our hearts won't lie
[chorus]
F
And little ever changes when you
Am
View it from the sky
G
The damage we encounter
C
The earth just passes by
F
And little ever changes
Am
If anything at all
G C G
And we remind ourselves how small we are

| This song makes me think of the chapter in the Silmarillion, Of Beren and Luthien. Beren was a human who heard the Elf maiden Luthien singing. He called her the Elven word for Nightingale, Tinúviel. Her father did not approve of thier love ans sent Beren after a Simaril from the crown of Morgoth. Beren nearly died, but he retrieved it and married Luthien. If you read the whole thing you will see it better than in my summary. | |

| It seems Toad has so many themes of literature in their music. This one is the immortal nightengale that runs throughout the history of literature. The nightengale's timeless song. Does anyone know of any other literature themes in toad songs? | |

| This song may be short and sweet, but it's potent and very amazing nonetheless. | |
