The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 12/11/2005 8:37:40 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Home is behind, the world ahead

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Didn't Annie Lennox do something for LotR? Or am I totally wrong?

She sang "Into the West", on the ROTK soundtrack.

Yes, Jen... Annie Lennox sang "Into the West", the song at the Grey Havens in RoTK... and it won best original song at the Oscars.

Whitney Houston's version of our National Anthem during the first Gulf War is among the best I've ever heard. I'd be happy if no one else was ever allowed to sing that song in public :~D

Frank Sinatra is of course a great voice, but I am not a big fan either (my husband heaves a big sigh and shakes his head) not because his voice isn't worthy, but because the lyrics of his songs are always so dang corny.

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words...hold my hand
In other words...darling kiss me

Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words I love you

Corny or not, I still love that song.

*sigh*

Thought I dunno that Frank Sinatra's is my favorite version.

So are Sinatra's songs deep and meaningful if one is in an altered state?
