The Original Celtic Renaissance duo from Austin, TX! Called Masters of Traditional Folk by The Austin Chronicle, Marc Gunn and Andrew McKee join the autoharp, r

We are the Brobdingnagian Bards (pronounced brAHb'ding-näg-EE-en). We perform a unique style of Celtic folk music that we like to call "a Renaissance in Celtic music" or "The Original Celtic Renaissance. Ask our fans though, and they'll tell you our music is just plain "fun!" With six studio albums completed in just five years, combined with ten other compilations, singles and EPs, we've been called one of the most-productive Celtic groups around. But we just love playing the music.

Story behind the song

I'm a big fan of JRR Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings". The Brobdingnagian Bards were working on a tribute album to Tolkien , called Memories of Middle Earth which has me writing songs. This one is a good environmentalist song about Treebeard and the Ents, and the troubles they must face to thrive in a world where people destroy without care.

Lyrics

Long before men tread Middle-Earth,
Before the dwarves and elves gave birth,
There sprouted a race for the trees' defense
In the heart of Fangorn, there live the Ents.

    Ha-room... Ha-da-ra-room.
    Ha-room... Ha-da-ra-room.

Patient farmers they tend the woods.
Gaurdians of stems and of roots.
They hear the arbors' laments and wails
From falling axes and tearful trails.

For Living Creatures all roam the land,
But hasty judgements make careless hands.
One thoughtless word from a thoughtless king
A thousand creatures die beneath the trees.

The rivers will flow though their course may change.
The birds are born and will fly away.
Men will come and men will go,
But the Ents remain through the melting snow.
