I still don't really get this though, how does a planet start off with a song? Forgive me for being technical, but I'm a SciFi freak and it just doesn't pass for me.
Well, for one thing, Tolkien did not write Science Fiction. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I think that the reason song was used as the creative force is because no one can really explain exactly how you would create a planet or create life. I think that the reason music was used is because it is a powerful and beautiful force. Also, music could just be the interpretation of the creative forces which formed Ea, since to our finite human minds true creative force cannot be comprehended. Maybe Tolkien used music to explain what he otherwise could not have expressed, meaning that the music could represent something greater.
These thoughts are just my opinions. I could be wrong. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
