I don't know why but Harry Connick Jr's version of Danny boy always makes me think of ME. It has a very Hobbit-like essence. Especially the beginning where it says "From glen to glen and down the mountainside..." it makes me think of the Shire. Like the part where Bilbo talks about "the woods...the fields...the little rivers.." I think of the same things when I listen to the song.

*Bump*

This actually happened 2 weeks or so ago, but I was busy with other threads to post it:
I was driving my mother to the Doctors office, and the route that I took led us from small city to country (which was weired being that this little canyon of sorts is in the middle of town.) For a moment I could have sworn that we had somehow gone through a dimensional rift, for before my eyes was the forrest/hills next to Farmer Maggots! The trees absolutely draped in bright-green moss, fog, thick fog, filling the area, and old wet leaves covering the ground. It was positively magical!

Nowadays whenever I see the sea I say to myself. "Here at the shores of the sea comes an end to our fellowship.

Also when I see people wearing a ring on a chain I automatically think, The Ring

Since I have to take the schoolbus early in the morning I always see the sunrise. If it is dark dark red I call it a Mordorian sunrise.
