A much better version of my first upload of this original song, instruments are sequenced on a Korg M-3. This composition is a favorite of mine since it's in 3/4 time, rather unusual.

About the meaning: In Tolkien's story, "The Lord of the Rings", Lady Galadriel tells Frodo, "You are a ring-bearer. To bear a ring is to be alone". Yet her aloneness is in complete surrender and merging with the timeless power greater than herself.

  • Very nice.

  • @ArizTaerio I thought, middleearth is a country on Arda

  • @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.

  • @MeredithWaters

    I thought that Gods name was Illuvator

  • @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.

  • @MeredithWaters Ea it's the name of Middle Earth, Eru Ilúvatar is God's name.

  • @MeredithWaters and Eru Iluvatar?

  • @MeredithWaters you're welcome :)
