Okay, I've listened to the clip of "Into the West" the theme song for the Return of the King - here are the words we hear in this segment: What can you see over horizon? Why do the white gulls call? Across the sea (Something) horizon The ships have come to carry you home... Anyway, from the little segment I have heard of this song I think perhaps this song will have to grow on me, much as Gollum's song did - but then we have not yet heard the entire effect of the song in its entirety - who knows I may fall in love with this song from the moment I hear all of it for the very first time! And I also have mixed reaction about Annie Lennox's voice used here - not that I am saying her song is bad but will her singing this song, when heard in its entirety, but as haunting as Enya singing "May It Be"? I hope so but so far I have mixed reviews upon hearing her! What were YOUR reactions?(Title edited by moderator to make it 'official')[ November 25, 2003: Message edited by: Estelyn Telcontar ]
