As I mentioned in another thread, the song "My Immortal" by Evanescence reminds me of both Sam and Frodo.

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all of my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

[CHORUS]
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held you hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

[CHORUS]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

And then there's the song "Haunted" also by Evanescence, which can apply to either Frodo or Gollum.

Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all this time I've been so hollow inside
I know you're still there

Watching me wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you loving you
I won't let you pull me down

Hunting you I can smell you - alive
Your heart pounding in my head

Watching me wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Saving me raping me
Watching me
