Hail and Well Met, Stone of Vision,
May your sight always be clear. * bows *
Indeed, your comparison of the songs "The Last Ship" and "Lost Earth" resonate with me. Both I think capture the mood of sailing West which the discussion here focuses on. Both are hauntingly evocative, pervaded with a sense of mystery at moving from the familiar into the unknown. And though there is the melancholy of parting and loss, it is interwoven with the graceful dignity of meeting a destiny filled with hope and promise.
If there is sacrifice in Frodo's departure, it is only so that he may achieve a greater good.
Thank you for sharing in the Music.
At your Service,
Gandalf the Grey
