The Music
I love the music, his songs and poetry, I sing all the ryhmes in the books to myself. The moment I read the words on the page the tune comes to me, it feels like remembering something that I've forgotten. I'll be walking around at school or home humming the tunes to myself. My faves so far are Sam's Song (The one he sang in the tower in Mordor. It's so moving and I've found it makes an excellent lullaby for my nephews.), Bilbo's Song ( The one about him growing older that he sings to Frodo in Rivendale. It's so sad, and moving.), The Old Walking Song (Who can forget The Road goes ever, ever, on . . . Wonderful for long walks.), Water Hot (Comical and perfect for the shower <img src=smile.gif ALT="
"> ), and The Inn Song (The cow jumped over the moon remade, how clever of him!). These make his world real to me, along with characters that are so complex that they are like old friends by the end of the book.
Okay, I'd say that I've rambled long enough. Bye!
