It's funny that though the lyrics are so simple, I find them quite touching. The lyrics strike the right note (couldn't resist...) in their feeling. There's no need for fancy words and phrases. The story the lyrics tell is unbelievably elvish. I don't seem to be finding words now for what I'm trying to say here but the original culture of the Elves is beautifully concentrated in a few lines. Stars are the most wonderous thing they know and they respect them and that shows in the lyrics well.
Enya is perfect for this piece since she has such a voice I always imagined that Arwen would have. It feel like Arwen would actually be singing this song to Aragorn.
