Such a beatiful song and a wonderful video! Thank you for shearing, i've been listening to your song for days now.. it's enchanting and .. comforting..
@katrinv123 Thank you for listening and for the kind words. Yes, the message is shining with inspiration, cloaked in a melancholy sound...so glad you noticed. :-)
actually there was a "God" in Tolkiens mythology and Varda (Elberetht) was one of the Valar. kind of like an angel. All things were greated by song and it was her part to sing the stars into existence (among other things) but it makes clear that all were given their part in the song by Ea (the "God" figure, essentially a being who brought everything into existence out of itself.)
@InfamousJohnnyG Thank you for that remarkable insight. I had forgotten that it was by singing that Varda wrought the stars. The lyrics were "Varda, O Elbereth" until to my delight I found that every syllable of the poem fit perfectly. You make me more glad for that :-) Ultimately, spiritually Galadriel - like Elrond and Gandalf - was unconcerned with the trappings of religion but focused on the eternal nature of the soul. Still, mea culpa - there is indeed a God in Middle Earth named Ea.
@cvrnut09 Eru Ilúvatar is the sole deity of Tolkien's Middle-earth, known as Eä in Elvish. I find it of interest that a supremely wise god of Mesopotamian religion, called Enki, was also called Ea. Pointing further to a wise deity, "Eru Ilúvatar" literally means "all father", as does the Norse god Odin, known as a god of wisdom.
@InfamousJohnnyG Thanks for sharing! Small remark: it's "Eru" or "Iluvatar", not "Eä". Eä means "let these things be", the words Iluvatar uttered when creating Arda. "Vala" is translated as "power" in the Silmarillion.
@alma20vomastek Alma, me too - I have no idea how your comment was removed, and I am quite sad that it was! :-( The perils of technology I suppose. But the important thing is that I too really cherish the music we've shared and our friendship!!! Lots of <3 dear Alma!
yes,this is a better version indeed!!!!and your voice is louder and clearer:).show that voice to everyone,don't hide it under the instrumental tracks,like you did on the other version:).I am very proud of you,darling:).*applause*
@alma20vomastek My dear Alma, thank you so much for the inspiration you give me, for listening and for a shared love of music...the only thing better than being able to make music is to be able to share it with talent of your caliber. <3 <3 <3
Very nice.

Even Melkor who tried to sow discord with his song only ended up follownig the will of Ea, adding randomness instead of extinction to the world.
