Into the west (song) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tolkien wrote all the poetry/songs in the books, but some of them remind me of other, 'real' songs. One thing that really bothered me about the movies was that they didnt bother singing any of the songs. apparently I was wrong. when does this song you're writing about appear in the movie if you please? (Not the "leaves of gold" one, this one about Aman)

"Into The West" appears at the end of "The Return of the King"- I think in the end titles. It's beautiful and haunting.

I believe they play it at the end of 'Fellowship', not 'Return of the King'.

The singer, Annie Lennox, is from my home town.

The end of "Fellowship" is "May it Be" by Enya. "Into the West" comes at the end of "Return of the King."

You are of course correct.

I'll go back to sleep now.

The song is really very beautiful, the greatest is the choir version, but annie is great too, it was written for a cameraman (i believe) who died from cancer

But if you don´t know it, it really sounds as it was written in reference of galadriels history.
