The whole song‽ (40-ish minutes)


I would go for (seemingly obviously):
The Wizard by Black Sabbath for Gandalf in his travelling days. I'm certain that there is a quote somwhere that talks about Gandlaf travelling and spreadng happiness, and this song has that theme.

Wouldn't that be cloak?

Or for the Balrog: I'm too sexy for my wings

I think that song should go to Faramir or Aragorn, due to their rejecting of the past mistakes of Gondor.

Denethor should have the darker "A Passion Play" by them.

And on that note:
Songs from the wood= Tom Bombadil (or on second thoughts, Sam as well)


Also,

Gwaihir: Any bird or flying song
Elves who cross the Helcaraxe: Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin

Well, whatever. That was a long time ago, I can't remember why I thought that would be a good song.

Aragorn's song when he meet Arwen the first time: I Wanna Hold Your Hand by the Beatles

And before he leaves Rivendeland is saying good bye to Arwen: All My Lovin' by the Beatles

This isn't for a character, but the 'Downs as a whole (Not based on actual experiences, but still):


Hotel Barrow-Downs - By The Eag... oh...

I had a burning question, no book had the key
The Silmarillion, it would not answer me
So I went onto Google, saw the question discussed
Realised that I should read some more
Click the link I must
There it opened before me
I saw those who here did dwell
And I was thinking to myself,
"I could just look or I could post as well"
So I wrote up my first post and clicked 'Submit Reply'
There were some people posting
Said "to post you first have to 'die' ".

Welcome to the Barrow Do-owns Forum
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Barrow Do-owns Forum
Any time of year, you can find it here.

I'd read a few books of Tolkien, I knew a bit about about Dale
But some here have heavy, heavy books, that they call the 'Tales'
How do they post on the forum, 2+ per day
Some come here for knowledge, some for Werewolf stay.

So I called up Chris Tolkien,
’Please add a new book to the mix’
He said, ’we haven’t had new material since 1996’
And still those Barrows are calling you up from your beds,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to read on threads...

Welcome to the Barrow Do-owns Forum
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
They're posting on threads at the Barrow Do-owns Forum
What a nice surprise, and they're Tolkien-wise.

I talked to a long-timer,
When I'd just posted twice
And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’
And the Mod Gorthad,
They gather to kill spambots
They ban them all with their Mod powers,
But they just find lots and lots

Last thing I remember, I was
Trying to sign out
I had to find the passage back
The 'Downs to live without
’Relax,’ said the wight man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can register any time you like,
But you can never leave!

(inspired by elbenprincess' thread about Elrond's parents)

Elrond - Another Brick in the Wall Part 1 by Pink Floyd:

Daddy sailed to search for Aman
Left me just a memory
Mommy morphed into a sea-bird
Daddy, what'd you leave for me?
Mom, Dad, what'd you leave behind for me?
All in all it's just another brick in the wall

Sauron - Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance

Elwing - I Believe I Can Fly

Melkor to the Valar - Be Prepared in the Lion King

Cirdan - Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Feanor and his Noldorin Friends - The Kinslayer by Nightwish

I was watching Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country just before I saw this thread then I remembered Kirk and McCoy singing Row Row Row your Boat to Spock.
