I just listened to Breath of Life.

It sounds like Jackson rewrote Two Towers' plot re Arwen and Aragorn to include Luthien's plea to the One to resurrect Beren. I.e., that Aragorn will be terribly or mortally wounded, and healed by Arwen.

Further information and opinions are requested.

Aragorn does, according to rumor, have a near-death scene... But it doesn't include Arwen in any of the rumors I have seen.

"Theoden decides to evacuate his city to Helms Deep. Aragorn turns Theodred's horse free. (The horse is named Brego and is battle-shocked.)"

"Theoden tells Eowyn that Aragorn fell to the warg riders. Aragorn is badly wounded but alive. He struggles to his feet and finds the horse Brego has come to rescue him. He rides to Helms Deep and tells Theoden that thousands of Uruk Hai are coming. There are only three hundred defenders. Legolas feels betrayed by his people." (I got all that here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/686059/posts?page=419#419 )

We have seen a scene where Frodo appears unconcious, and Sam is with him, possibly in the Dead Marshes. The song might be about that too. Though I suspect that isn't it. The victory music at the end doesn't sound "happy hobbity". What do you think?

Okay I was wrong. The passage I like starts just after the Gandalf flashback before Sam gets back to Frodo. Actually, I like the whole piece from that point to the end.

The passage I like

Now if I could just figure out when to breathe!
