And didn't anyone notice that awful pun I made? I'm seriously proud of that...

You wanted someone to groan? Well, here you go, since no one else has... *groan*

Ka, those lyrics are eerily close to Sauron and the Ring!

Another tolkien inspired/related song...

Frozen from Collide's Chasing the Ghost album, reminds me oddly of the Arvari "The Unwilling".

I don't have the lyrics right now but, i've given out information if you want to find it.

Another reason might be that next to the Teleri,Noldor, the Avari are my favortie group of elves...even though little is known about them.

I'm so glad everyone noticed somethign about alot of those songs. Like Led Zepplin's songs. Alot of them are meant to sound like they're from Middle-Earth because the artists love the stories. That's so cool. Anyway one song that especially reminds me of ME is Harry Connick Jr's version of Danny Boy. Whenever I listen to it it takes me to the Misty Mountains and the Shire. Especially the part that goes "Oh Danny Boy...the pipes the pipes are calling....from glen to glen and down the moutainside..." Ahh that song just completely just takes me away. Also old time singers like Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Perry Como. Their talents were just so pure it reminds me of the way Elves or Hobbits would sing. Just pure and tonal no sythetics to their voices. It's so awesome. Like Bing Crosby's version of When Irish Eyes are Smiling. That one's really good too.

I'd say... Something in the song 'Kuolema tekee taiteilijan' by Nightwish makes me think of LotR. I don't know for sure what is it, but... I just get the feeling.
