I think the song is quite good, for several reasons. First, it fits very well as a part of the scene, which, though poorly written (Arwen hiding behind the sheet? What?), is one of the best filmed sequences in the ROTK, in terms of being an artistic whole. Second, it's a good interpretation of that particular scene in the book - among the creative liberties that PJ took, this is by far one of the most legitimate and effective. Third, the tune is both catchy, solemn, and moving, and I like to sing it quietly to myself.
That's probably my favorite track on the whole soundtrack, actually.
