You know you're obsessed with LOTR when ...

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

But... recite? RECITE? You must sing them! They're so much better when you put a merry tune to them.

Oh, come now, guy who be short, you know very well that for some of the poems it was explicity stated that they were chanted or spoken, not sung. I have a tune for most of them, except one or two where I can find no suitable tune, but would you truly sing The Ring Poem, or Aragorn's poem (All that is gold does not glitter...)? And what about those songs which require mournful tunes instead of merry ones? Hmmmm? Would you sing Sam's Song in the Tower in a happy voice? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
