No response? Oh well.

Here we are, at the last track of the Two Towers soundtrack. I know that like all the credit songs in the movies, people have mixed feelings about this one. Emiliana Torrini is the vocalist here. The first minute and 15 seconds (approximately) are instrumental, with strings on the melody and gentle horns underneath. We then have the vocals. Since it's in English I'm not posting the lyrics, but if you want them they can be found here.

After the vocals, we hear the strings playing the Rohan theme, followed by brass and strings doing what is usually the hardinger solo.

So, what are your thoughts on this song? Do you like it? Or does Torrini's voice get on your nerves, like I know it does to some people? I personally like it a lot, but then again, I like Bjork, whose voice is similar.
