Oh, well in that case:
05 - Entrance & Appeal - 2022 version
With (hopefully) correctly adjusted choir and inserted new recording.

So we'll go with this...

I think it's important to underline that Finrod only just now realizes this simple but life philosophy changing concept. Does he get that across with only "at last" in the next line?

I think it does. The 'your' is already leading us there, given that he's really only just met Beren, and the 'only... at last' structure makes it clear. Also this is far and away the best version of this line yet. ^_^
I've also slapped myself on the forehead and adjusted the wounds line.
My wounds you have opened afresh this hour scans just as well and actually works as English, and I don't know why it took me so long to see it. (I think I was fixated on the 'in' being essential.)

Well, since you asked so nicely...
Camp, adjusted
With two re-recorded lines, and the music boosted by 2 dB. Any louder than that, and I feel like it starts drowning me out in the final duet; I can adjust different parts of my singing if you think I'm too quiet/loud relative to the music at different points.
So... if both of these are good [crosses fingers], then I'm down to animations and Dream. Yay!
