The Epic Tale of an Archer and a Goat | Lorelai feat. #FreddeGredde
Lyrics in the description.
This probably needs a bit of backstory... Click to read more!
So, maybe you know the amazing musician FreddeGredde... (If not, go check, totally worth it!) He has a website with an IRC chatroom which I visit regularly. This was kinda our Christmas music project, because in Sweden they have a tradition of building a great goat statue made of straw and almost every year it's burned down. This is a metaphoric tale of how the 2013 goat was saved from the terrible destiny. :D
As I said, it was a group project. We all wrote the lyrics, I composed the melody and recorded most of the music, FreddeGredde sang and recorded some additional music, one other girl was the lead singer and another girl made this sweet animated video. Thank you guys a lot, it's been fun ^^
Lyrics:
This is the tale of a gal and a goat
the one shot arrows and the other one was a goat
the archer, who was important to the tale
could shoot an arrow without a fail
all her life she lived in a village
where shooting a goat was forbidden privilege
At the end of the day when she thought about it,
she was so excited.
I forgot to say goat was made of hay
missing the details is not okay
So the archer said: "goat, it's time to burn!"
I wanna shoot you where sun don't shine
Chorus:
HAAAAAY
HOOOE (I wanna shoot you right now)
HAAAAY
HOOOE (just wait for me)
I'm a goat and to flames I say no!
Flaming arrows falling from the sky
There was a lot of fear in the goats eye
The goat, ready to face his destiny
started to hum his symphony
no, no, no, NO, NOOO! oh mamma mia...
BLAAARGHGHHH DO NOT SMITE MEEEEEEEEEEE.
But there, before the flames could bite
Appeared almighty pweets, in her armor shining bright
and as pweets saw the disaster,
she climbed the goat like a master
and they rode to Australia
it was such a great idea
rode off into the dawn
on the goat made of straw..
Chorus:
HAAAAAY
HOOOE (you escaped, damn you goat)
HAAAAY
HOOOE (I hate you so)
I'm a goat and to flames I say no!
This goat likes to gloat about his coat,
left a note, that he wrote with a quote,
but archer will plea, don't let me, into glee
Yours he'll be, eternally
Chorus:
HAAAAAY
HOOOE (you escaped, damn you goat)
HAAAAY
HOOOE (I´ll never be yours)
I'm a goat and to flames I say no!
