His voise sounded thin and quavering in the cold dark tower: the voice of a forlorn and weary hobbit that no listeningnorc could possibly mistake for the clear song of an Elven-lord. He murmured old childish tunes out of the Shire, and snatches of Mr. Bilbo's rhymes that came into his mind like fleeting glimpses of the country of his home. And then suddenly new strength rose in him, and hus voice rang out, while words of his own came unbidden to fit the simple tune.
In western lands beneath the Sun
the flowers may rise in Spring,
the trees may bud, the waters run,
the merry finches sing.
Or maybe 'tis cloudless night
and swaying beeches bear
the Elven-stars as jewels white
amid their branching hair.
Though here at journey's end I lie
in darkness buried deep,
beyond all towers strong and high,
beyond all mountains steep,
above all shadows rides the Sun
and stars for ever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done,
nor bid the stars farewell.”
nor bid the stars farewell.”
Day 23, being favourite soundtrack song. It was difficult to choose a favourite costume because these costumes are the best that were ever made. It was difficult to choose a favourite location because these are the most because places I can think of. It was difficult to choose a favourite character because these ae some the greatest characters I've ever met. And it's difficult to choose a favourite song because this is possibly the best soundtrack ever composed (to me, at least). I can pick one that really stands out in meaning to me, though. Maybe that makes it my favourite.

Had to listen to all of The Black Gate Opens. *chills* You are so right, Nessima. It's like all of LOTR put into one song. Ohhh... I need to watch RotK again!!
