Sting

Ran across this today while googling for something else:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Howard Shore's final "The Lord of the Rings" score and his song "Into the West" --- co-written with singer Annie Lennox and screenwriter Fran Walsh --- were nominated. <P>"It was a really rich canvas for Howard, and this very emotional song wraps the whole thing up," explains exec VP Paul Broucek. "It was created from the perspective of Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) singing to Frodo (Elijah Wood) at the Grey Havens (near the end of the film)." <BR> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Quote found <A HREF="http://forum.interference.com/t86720.html" TARGET=_blank>here</A>, scroll down over a third of the way.<P>Maybe the second part she's singing to Sam.<P>Edited afterthought: since "May It Be" always seemed like it was supposed to be Galadriel (although a few things didn't quite fit... poetic license?) this is similar; it pretty much fits Galadriel, considering poetic license.<P>And, <B>dininziliel</B>, that still makes what you say true; the song can easily be applied to the One who watches over us. "And underneath are the Everlasting arms."<p>[ 7:26 AM January 23, 2004: Message edited by: mark12_30 ]
