Amazing song! J.R.R Tolkien was just a Genius! :D Love this song!

[Renagade5150]

This is a truly beautiful rendering of the Tolkien lyrics.  The music is perfect and the vocals are exquisite. I don't usually use that word as a heterosexual male, but if ever it had to be used, now was the time :-)

@Renagade5150 Why don't you usually use the word exquisite? I use it all the time, but I'm gay, and I also use words like resplendent. But why shouldn't heterosexual men use the word "exquisite"?

[Renagade5150]

@GaladedridDamodred Since your gay you don't get it obviously. But it was said more in jest if that makes you feel better.

Galadriel had the blood of all the three elven kindreds of old, Noldor, Teleri, and Vanyar. She decided to take the road of the exiled Noldor, and passed the grinding ices of Helcarax with them to reach middle earth. Though it was Valinor from whence she came...

How extraordinarily sad...if you know the backstory of Galadriel...banished for millennia from her home in Aman.

@aaronortiz Hi there! where can one read of this backstory? thanks :)

[aaronortiz]

@missttt888 It's in The Silmarillion, in the third section (Quenta Silmarillion), the story of the war of the jewels.

The Silmarillion was not originally meant to be published, it is a story Tolkien's son edited out of his father's notes.

Marion Zimmer Bradley... isn't that the author of The Mists of Avalon?! :O! Love!
