Rynoah, the Overly-Happy has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

That's one of my favorite songs, Eress. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I also like "I Dreamed a Dream" and it reminds me of Boromir, though I can't exactly place why. Could be that I listened to it while arguing with someone over something in the movie regarding his character. Anyway, the lyrics

There was a time when men were kind,
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting.
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting.
There was a time
Then it all went wrong.
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung
No wine untasted.
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame.
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days
With endless wonder
He took my childhood in a stride
But he was gone when autumn came.
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather…
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I’m living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.


I suppose there are a few passages in there you could relate to Boromir if you give it a stretch. Such as:

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart


and possibly the last few, given a pull. Anyway, that's just a song that reminds me. Go about your lives, citizens.

Edit: Leave it to me to screw up simple UBB code.
