A few weeks ago I picked up an old Kinks vinyl, "The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society" and I think it has distinct Shire flavour with its unabashed nostalgia for old England. It's truly wonderful.

This is song from the same album called "Big Sky" I think it is a very fitting Eru Illuvatar anthem, lyrically that is. Well, actually the music is pretty divine as well.
