[QUOTE="brodahisou, post: 9187858, member: 7043539"] I'm aware that this is an old post but I found it while looking for inspiration for my bard character. I have re-written a few songs for certain situations and thought I would share them. I'm pretty new to D&D and I'm no lyrist but I thought these were fun and other people might like to use them for their bard character. My character is Wood Elf bard who's drunk a lot of the time. In my group there is a Firbolg cleric, a wood elf druid who was brought up in the underdark and an Aarakocra ranger, so some of the songs are specifically geared towards them but could be easily amended to suit your group. The first song I did was to expand on one of the songs provided by gmbinder.com in their "Bard Songs for the Un-Inspired Bard." I don't know who did the original but they provided the first 5 lines and then I did the rest. As bards can choose spells from any class at level 10, 14 and 18 I thought this would be a fun song to sing when they do. [B]A More Powerful Bard (Sung to “Part of your world”)[/B] Look at my spells, Aren’t they neat? Wouldn’t you think my collections complete? wouldn’t you think I’m a bard, A bard who can cast anything?! Look at this tome, magics untold How many wonders can one volume hold? Looking around here you'd think Sure, he can beguile anything I've got cantrips and charms a-plenty I've got banjos and trumpets galore You want magic amulets? I've got twenty! But who cares? No big deal I want more I wanna cast the enchantments that wizards do I wanna see what the sorcerers are invoking Flying around on those, what do you call 'em? Oh, brooms Strumming the lute, you don't get too far Grimoires are required for major arcane casting What are those big bad spells again? Oh yeah, Curses Out where they enthral, out where they jinx Out where they hex all who stand in their way Spell casting free, wish I could be A more powerful bard Here's a few healing songs [B]Watch me heal you (Sung to "Watch Me Dance")[/B] Watch me heal you, heal you right away I’ll take away your cuts and bruises, you’ll be right as rain Watch me cure you, cure you right away You’ll be up and fighting and making those who hurt you pay [B]Crucial Healing (Sung to Sexual Healing)[/B] When you get that feeling You want some crucial healing Essential healing, oh yeah Makes you feel so fine Helps to relieve your mind Incredible healing baby, is good for you Effectual healing is something that's good for you Whenever blood red teardrops are fallin' And your emotional stability is leaving you There is something I can do You can lie there injured and call out to me, buddy And you know I'll be there to help you The health I give you is free from me If you don't know the thing you're feeling Oh I can tell you, partner, that it's crucial healing Now the next song is a bit specific, but I'm sure you could mess around with it to suit your group. This was written with our wood elf druid in mind. My party never asked but I was going to say I stole the song from a cleric. :) [B]Healing From a Prayer (Sung to “Livin’ on a Prayer”)[/B] Bittle[or other character name] used to live in the underdark, It's where he found refuge He's a wood elf at heart, he's no drow, he's no drow Bittle dreamed of running away, He came to the surface, where the sky was so big, But It’s ok, It’s ok I said, you've gotta hold on to the lifeforce you’ve got I can really make a difference if you make it or not I’m know some magic and that's a lot for health We'll give it a spell Whoa, your half way dead Whoa oh, Healing from a prayer Take my hand, you’ll make it, I swear Whoa oh, Healing from a prayer Again the next song was done with our Firbolg character in mind, but as I said before you can easily tweak it for your characters. [B]Healing Morlock (Sung to “Like a Virgin”)[/B] We made it through the wilderness Now we’re in this mine We got pretty lost, until we got in this fight We’ve been beat, dead on our feet We’ve been had, we’ve been beat, yeah we’re black and blue yeah we’re black and blue, oooh Healing Morlock [or other character name] Healing him for the very first time Healing Morlock I’ll make his heart beat back in time I’m gonna give you all my heal, boy Your fear is fading fast I’ve just saved your ass, Let’s hope it lasts You’ll be fine, in no time I’ll make you strong, yeah I’ll make you bold, You just need to hold out Yeah, you need to hold out, so I can keep you from the cold Healing Morlock Healing him for the very first time Healing Morlock I’ll make his heart beat back in time Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh, ah Whoa-oh-oh You’ll be fine in no time We’ll be friends until the end of time, ‘cause you made me heal Yeah, you made me heal your thick ass hide Healing Morlock Healing him for the very first time Healing Morlock I’ll make his heart beat back in time The plan is that if I have to heal him again I can sing the same song but it'll be "Healing Morlock Healing him for the second/third/fourth time, etc.:) This next one was written with my friends Aarakocra character in mind but you can replace the start with the classic "Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga" or anything really, or obviously just leave it out. :) [B]I'm Renowned For My Healing (Sung to "Hooked on a Feeling")[/B] Aarakocra, Aarakocra, Aarakocra Aarakocra, Aarakocra, Aarakocra Aarakocra, Aarakocra, Aarakocra You can't stop this bleeding Deep inside of you Boy, you just don't realise that you’re going to die When I hold you With my cords of light I'll let you know Everything's alright I'm renowned for my healing You're gonna be believing That I can heal you We got into this battle It was pretty tough Boy, it got me thirsty For another cup of wine You got burnt by a dragon [or You got stabbed by goblin/other creature] But I can be your cure You won't be a victim I'll help you endure All the good times that we've got ahead You'll keep your health boy Yeah you won't be dead I'm renowned for my healing You're gonna be believing That I can heal you [B]Heal (Sung to "Jump")[/B] You get beaten up' and sometimes knocked down Your pretty tough, one of the toughest around And I know, just how to heal You got to roll with the punches and parry that steel I can make your wounds disappear If you're injured I can intervene It's not the worst that I've seen although, that wound is pretty obscene Ah, might as well Heal Might as well heal Go ahead and heal Go ahead and heal Now I did very little with the next two songs, as well, why mess with a classic. [B]Never Gonna Give You Up[/B] We're no strangers to death You know the rules and so do I A full recovery's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other bard I just wanna fix you with my healing Why don't you just take my hand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run away and desert you Never gonna let you die Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna run you through and hurt you We've not known each other very long Your heart's been aching, But you've had a sword put through it Your insides are hanging out and feeling wrong You're not the same but I will help fix it And if you ask me for some healing I'll keep you from your final sleep Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run away and desert you Never gonna let you die Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna run you through and hurt you [B]Help![/B] (Help) You need somebody (Help) Not just anybody (Help) You know you need a bard (Help!) When you were younger so much younger than today You never needed anybody's help in any way But now those days are gone, your not so self assured As now your injured and crawling on all fours I'll Help you if I can, when you fall down And I know you appreciate me being 'round I'll Help get your feet back on the ground As you scream please, please help me? And now your lifeforce is starting to drain away Your vitality seems to vanish in the haze Coz every now and then you fail a saving throw I know that you need me like you've never done before I'll Help you if I can, when you fall down And I know you appreciate me being 'round I'll Help get your feet back on the ground As you scream please, please help me? Help me, help me, oooh I hope you enjoy these and I appreciate any feedback. [/QUOTE]
