Gollum's song

[the mortal elf]

I absolutely love that song! I just got the soundtrack yesterday, and I've listened to it at least ten times and have the lyrics memorized. Before I listened to it, I had little to no pity for Gollum, but now, I feel like hugging him! *imagines his wet, slimy skin* Uh...okay, maybe I'll just continue to feel sorry for him..<P>Anyway, I sort of had a realization that it wasn't really his fault (although he did kill Deagol), it was the ring! It's Borormir's exact situation, except he was able to redeem himself. Poor gollum.<P>It made me feel sorry for Frodo too, because I guess it never fully hit me how hard it would be to not be able to be happy or content in the shire. Poor Frodo. Poor ringbearers. *sigh*
