[The Saucepan Man]

Why does this song, or any of the songs written for the films, have to be from the perspective of one character to another?<P>I consider them to be "commentaries" on the situations to which they relate, as though written by minstels about the events portrayed.<P>The exception, I suppose, would be <I>Gollum's Song</I> which does seem to be written as though Smeagol is addressing himself (or his "other self" ).
