<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I consider them to be "commentaries" on the situations to which they relate, as though written by minstels about the events portrayed. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> That is also how I have thought of the songs, especially Into the West. May It Be I think, can also be taken that way. Although I do agree it makes since that it could be Galadriel addressing Frodo. (Of course though, Gollum's song is different, since that seems from Smeagol's point of view.) So, I think that Into The Westis not just one person talking to the other, rather an overseer. And since this being the end, I think that makes sense. Yet, if it was to be one to another, to me it seems like its Sam to Frodo.[ 2:51 AM January 02, 2004: Message edited by: MYyyPreciousSS ]
