Entry to 2014-2015 LEGO Middle-earth LEGO Olympics. Category: Music of Middle-Earth. Description: "Select ONE of the songs below and interpret it (or part of it) into ONE build. The build can have different components, but it should clearly be one congruent entry. Your interpretation can be from the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit or it can be something more artistic/abstract. All we ask is that you avoid building from other official LEGO themes. Your own ideas are fine, but we don’t want to see any Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc. themed creations in a Middle Earth contest. Music has the power to inspire, so as you listen, pay close attention to the mental images that come to mind!" Song chosen: The Last Goodbye. Prepare for some really artsy-fartsy stuff. You have been warned. When I first heard this song, it was kind of hard to decipher what Billy Boyd (Pippin in the original trilogy) was saying. After reading the lyrics, I slowly started to get the idea of someone dying. Keep in mind, I only have a slight passing interest in LOTR, I'm not a hard-core Tolkein fan like so many people I know. Eventually I started to think about my favourite character Boromir, and the scene in "The Fellowship" where he is SPOILERS killed by the Uruk-hai. The idea of the moc is that the song is playing as Boromir begins to die ("I saw the light, fade from the sky, On the wind, I heard a sigh"), and as he dies, he thinks of his fallen comrades he has failed ("But now comes the day To bid you farewell Many places I have been Many sorrows I have seen But I don’t regret Nor will I forget All [who took the road with me]"). The build uses forced perspective as well to emphasize the importance of Boromir. I often feel he's a very over-looked character in LOTR, so I felt this would help to emphasize that importance as a son of Gondor. The reason for the scattered loose pieces is also "artistic". As Boromir begins to fade, so does the world around him begin to wither and disappear. Keep in mind, I tried to imagine this from Boromir's perspective, so obviously interpretation is allowed. The tails and stacked slopes are used to emphasize this disappearance, that the world beneath him is fading as his life slowly drains, and the loose pieces are to emphasize how his world is breaking up and crumbling and coming apart. "But now comes the day To bid you farewell I bid you all a very fond farewell." Logo from here.

Edit: Super special thanks to edgeless Abyss for the Orcs and idea. Technically this should be his moc, I was merely just a grunt... Full entry on mocpages.
