Nimrodel - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Last night, as I was re-reading the Chapter "Lothloríen" I came across Legolas's reciting of Nimrodel. The whole time I was reading this, I could not but help think of "Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers.

Maybe it's the part, "Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea To the open arms of the sea. Lonely rivers sigh Wait for me, wait for me I'll be coming home Wait for me."

It just seems that both have a finality and a sense of doom to them. Unrequited love longing for the one they cannot reach. Hey, at least "Endless Sleep" ends better.
