The Beauty and the Troll | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
In Denmark there is this very sad fairy tale. Its about this very beautiful princess who walks alone in the forest and is assaulted by a big troll. But then the princess falls in love with the ugly troll.
So we tried to use this tale as the foundation of our new song. We hope you like the use of the different themes.
Its not didfficult to hear the princess and the troll motive. In the end the two motives are combined since the troll is "unifying" with the princess.
peace

THe tale of Beauty and the troll, also called Beauty and the beast, dates back to England around 1740.. and actually a similar story goes back to Greek mythology, with the story of Cupid and Psyche..
As for the song... very rough basement recording.. but, yes.. as Kings stated. it seems to have more structure.. and even is fairly tight... there is an overall looseness to the entire song... but that will come in time..
It is a decent idea... and I really am looking foward to hearing a complete full legth song from this beginning.. this could be so much more than it is now...
I must give it a moderate as well.. simply because it is unfunushed.. so as far as stars go, I think It isn't really ready for any stars yet... simply because it deserves to be finished... Hope you understand....

Oh really? I thought it was just a Disney Movie 
Thanks so much for the comments guys.
@JimK: Thanks for your explanation. You are very right, this song isnt ready for any votes. We didn't expect them though, so we're positively surprised.
We are thinking about re-recording it, though it gets a little too weird in the end. This differentiation between the Jazzy beauty motive and the wild Troll motive is fun to hear in the beginning, it gets a bit annoying though later on.
Thanks for the comments

I think it's pretty well done, for a basement recording I mean, because it's usually pretty hard to enjoy basement recordings. I find the different phases of the concept well executed, and a good choice of instrumental tones. very nice organ sound in there.
seems like you guys could grow into a preety interesting band...

I think you might find Jim that anything that "dates back to England around 1740" and has roots in Greek mythology has past through Denmark a long, long, long time before reaching sunny England.

Quite true... although I was commenting on the actual Story Beauty and the troll... Yes indeed, I am sure the greek story of Cupid and Psyche reached Denmark before england.. The actual story beauty and troll was written by a lady from France, who was living in England when she wrote the story in a large collection of many stories she had collected dealing with moral issues... SO, it is most likely she picked the story up in France.. where it was probably a dirrivitive of the original greek story...
Sorry to fill your song up with posts about stories... but you started it by writing the song about the story.. hahahaha
