I like "Gollum's Song". It makes me a bit teary thinking of the anguish Gollum must be going through watching Sam and Frodo. One of the lines says something about not having a faithful friend to help him out. I wonder if seeing Sam and Frodo's friendship makes him think of what might have been between him and Deagol.

The girl who sings "Gollum's Song" reminds me of Edie Brickell from Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians.

I like everything about the song except for the vocal melody. But it's supposed to sound tormented, not happy-go-lucky.

I agree with you on the friendship thing. It's the most powerful set of words in the whole song: "No loyal friend was ever there for me". In hindsight, I'm sure Smeagol came to realize how much more Precious a true friend is as compared to the Ring of Power.

I like Gollum's Song too! I like it a lot! I haven't heard definitively how it is used in the film yet. whether it is in the film, or just the credits. Have you?

Good call! Edie Brickell + Bjork = Gollum Gal.

Is she still married to Paul Simon (of Simon and Garfunkel)? I remember reading that they met when he hosted SNL and she and her band were the musical guests. They began dating and married soon after.
