Here is our version of J.R.R. Tolkien's poem, "I Sit Beside the Fire and Think!" We wanted to get this out to you first so here it is! We will make it available to the rest of the world at the end of the the month!

Verse 1 is meant to depict the present, as Bilbo might have sung the song in Rivendell to Frodo.

Verse 2 is meant to depict the past, as the instrumental comes in and we enter Bilbo’s memory, as it were.

Verse 3 is meant to depict the future Bilbo, old and looking back upon life.

We thought this analogous approach to the text fit in well with the meaning of the text. We hope you enjoy it!
