O-zone...are these guys really everywhere?? Not my first choice of how I'd want Romania advertised to the outer world... Not my second, not my third either

Ok. Let's not make this completely off topic:

Theme song for the for the Ride of the Rohirrim: Valley of the Damned by Dragonforce. Especially this part:

"On the wings of death by the hands of doom
By the darkest light from the darkest moon
Crossing silent seas over mountains high
For we stand as one tonight

On the black wind forever we ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom our guide
When the master will storm us
He'll stand high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light

On the wings of life, by the hands of hope
By the brightest light from the brightest sun
Crossing silent seas over mountains high"

'Broken' by Sonata Arctica has two lines that make me think LOTR:

Fell in love with the weakness within me.
Tried to force me the Ring and own me.
This sounds just like the Ringwraiths would say to Sauron...of course in the original context of the song the meaning is totally different.

And the song 'My land' (also from Sonata Arctica) could well be Aragorn's theme song in his Ranger days. Take a look at the Lyrics and decide for yourself.

If anyone here is really into industrial or darkwave, they'll understand why I chose this song.

Fearless by VNV Nation, reminds me of aragorn in some way...

Here's some of the lyrics... I won't put all of them, because they repeat about five times...

So many little things followed me
So many little things that bothered me. But I found my answer.
From all the chaos that followed me I have found my answer.
I've told you before don't follow me because I am not your answer.

I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy.
These are the words I say to myself everyday.
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy.
Tell me what ritual I should have today.
But I'm not alone. I've resolved so many things and set myself free.

Gollum, to the ring: Backstreet Boys (?) I want you back
"You're all I ever wanted, you're all I ever needed, now show me what to do now...'cause I, I, I, I want you back"

Eowyn: From Footloose...
"I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night, well he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from the fight..."

Treebeard: Dead Kennedys "Forest Fire"
"No junk foods, just earthly goods, I ate weird berries in the woods, now I'm seeing colours, I'm getting higher, I think I'll start a forest fire!!!"
(Posted in "Things they'd never say" as well, but it fit better here)

Frodo: "Bravely bold Sir Frodo rode forth from Rivendell, He was not afraid to die, oh brave Sir Frodo!"

Merry and Pippin: Schoolhouse Rock "I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill and I'm sittin' here on Capitol Hill" (Please don't ask why...it just came into my brain, and I apologize)

Sam: Somewhere Over the Rainbow

And I'm going to stop now, as I'd prefer not to traumatize too many people.

Gollum during his years of wandering around:Learn to be lonely (Phantom of the Opera)

Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness
Who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion
Never dreamed out in the world
There are arms to hold you?
You've always known
Your heart was on its own
So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone
Learn to be lonely
life can be lived
life can be loved
Alone.
