Hey Nilpaurion I just translated your little poem and it really does fit! Especially if you put in next to the picture of Saruman in bright pink robes on the Crazy Captions thread!

1420! Thanks, Kath!

Oh, and there's my version of the Music That Started It All (i.e. Ainulindalë) here.

Don't ask me why I was listening to this...

Dragostea Din tei for either Aragorn and Arwen or Aragorn and Eowyn...

It makes me laugh.

It's alright. A friend of mine named James and I have a fetish for Romania after buying O-Zone's album... Picaso is mentioned in it, so i'm fine with it.

It's even funnier when you see the music video... Now i'm imagining aragorn dancing on the wing of an airplane...

I was listening to the The Life Aquatic soundtrack and when I came across Scott Walker's 30 Century Man, I immediately thought of Gandalf...

See the dwarves and see the giants
Which one would you choose to be?
And if you can't get that together
Here's the answer, here's the key
You can freeze like a 30 Century Man
Like a 30 Century Man
I'll save my bread and take it with me
'Til a hundred years or so
Shame you won't be there to see me
Shakin' hands with Charles De Gaulle
Play it cool and Saranwrap all you can
Be a 30 Century Man
You can freeze like a 30 Century Man
Like a 30 Century Man
Like a 30 Century Man

Awsome song...

O-zone...are these guys really everywhere?? Not my first choice of how I'd want Romania advertised to the outer world... Not my second, not my third either

Ok. Let's not make this completely off topic:

Theme song for the for the Ride of the Rohirrim: Valley of the Damned by Dragonforce. Especially this part:

"On the wings of death by the hands of doom
By the darkest light from the darkest moon
Crossing silent seas over mountains high
For we stand as one tonight

On the black wind forever we ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom our guide
When the master will storm us
He'll stand high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light

On the wings of life, by the hands of hope
By the brightest light from the brightest sun
Crossing silent seas over mountains high"

'Broken' by Sonata Arctica has two lines that make me think LOTR:

Fell in love with the weakness within me.
Tried to force me the Ring and own me.

This sounds just like the Ringwraiths would say to Sauron...of course in the original context of the song the meaning is totally different.

And the song 'My land' (also from Sonata Arctica) could well be Aragorn's theme song in his Ranger days. Take a look at the Lyrics and decide for yourself.

If anyone here is really into industrial or darkwave, they'll understand why I chose this song.

Fearless by VNV Nation, reminds me of aragorn in some way...

Here's some of the lyrics... I won't put all of them, because they repeat about five times...

So many little things followed me
So many little things that bothered me. But I found my answer.
From all the chaos that followed me I have found my answer.
I've told you before don't follow me because I am not your answer.

I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy.
These are the words I say to myself everyday.
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy.
Tell me what ritual I should have today.
But I'm not alone. I've resolved so many things and set myself free.
