Sauron 666 has just left Hobbiton.
The Eye

I just thought of another one (so quickly this is a rarity LOL)

This is from Burzum's Filosofem album, doesn't this just strike you like an Elf contemplating his own immortality? (however i'm not sure if this is something original or something Tolkein himself wrote....)

5. Beholding The Daughters Of The Firmament

[Musikk og tekst skrevet Januar 1993 a.y.p.s.]

I wonder how winter will be
with a spring that I shall never see
I wonder how night will be
with a day that I shall never see
I wonder how life will be
with a light I shall never see
I wonder how life will be
with a pain that lasts eternally

In every night there's a different black
in every night I wish that I was back
to the time when I rode
through the forests of old

In every winter there's a different cold
in every winter I feel so old
so very old as the night
so very old as the dreadful cold

I wonder how life will be
with a death that I shall never see
I wonder why life must be
a life that lasts eternally
I wonder how life will be
with a death that I shall never see
I wonder why life must be
a life that lasts eternally


as well anything that has a medival atmosphere goes well with Tolkein like stuff by Die Verbantannen Kinder Eva's, Dargaard, Dead Can Dance, Braveheart soundtrack, Wagner (I know Tolkein himself would shudder at the suggestion but i find Wagner's music appropriate to Tolkein's writings), Ulver's Bergtatt and Kveldsjaner albums, as well as anything by In The Woods..., Opeth.... i think t hats enough from me [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
