Alright, it's a female character singing to a male character and they're from the Silmarillion.

But symestreem's guess is wrong.

*dies of shock*

There will be a brief pause while I read the rest of the thread and make sure I'm not repeating... and try to retrieve those ideas from two years ago. Back as quick as I can.

Glirdan's got it. It could possibly work for Sam, too, except they came back to the Scouring of the Shire, whereas Bilbo did not.

And so ends my attempt to indoctrinate you into the good ol' music of the good ol' days-- for now.

Okay, I'll give you the creative part. However, you're wrong and I'm afraid you are as well Kath.

Here's a hint: Think couples.

Well, your second guess would be right, but since you haven't guessed it per se... Just kidding, take it away Di.

Aha! Sneaky. I wasn't going to mention it because I thought, "Nah..." but I couldn't think of anything else.

I'll come back with lyrics later.

Never mind me being sneaky! Sheez! This one could apply to so many people! So, my first guess will be...Gollum to the Ring.

Sorry, no.

But you're right, that was too generic. Here is another part of the same song, more specific to my answer:

Quote:
I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like it was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

That's the one. Actually, the first excerpt is Frodo to the Ring and the second excerpt is Frodo after the scouring of the Shire.

Anyway, your turn.
