Gollum's Song

[Morningstar]

I looove Eowyn's song!!! It's so sad and beautiful and Eowyn's such a strong, kick-butt character (she's my fave along with Faramir, Wormtongue, all the lil hobbits, Gandalf...). As for my favorite song out of the three soundtracks, I couldn't decide; they're all so good!!! But I really like the Rohan-themed songs and the Last March of the Ents theme (the one with the little boy singing it).

Is the link you typed correct because I get page unable to be displayed when I follow the link?

Uhh... I didn't have a problem with it, but here's a link to the exact page it's on: http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?pfid=2751074

Don't mean to sound really dumb but what is the Fish song?

[Athena Appleton]

In the movie, Gollum is sitting on the rock and is holding a fish... I never could understand all the words, but I have caught something like:

Forbidden pool is nice and cool
*somethin somethin somethin*
We only wish to catch a fish
So juicy sweeeeeeeet! *THWACK! goes the fish on the rock*


I googled the entire song, here it is:

The cold hard lands
they bites our hands,
they gnaws our feet.
The rocks and stones
are like old bones
all bare of meat.
But stream and pool
is wet and cool:
so nice for feet!
And now we wish -

Alive without breath;
as cold as death;
never thirsting, ever drinking
clad in mail, never clinking.
Drowns on dry land,
thinks an island
is a mountain;
thinks a fountain
is a puff of air.
So sleek, so fair!
What a joy to meet!
We only wish
to catch a fish,
so juicy-sweet!

[Nobby]

its great! i love it!

Andy Serkis is just great!

[Athena Appleton]

yeah, it's great...

but the best part has to be the "juicy sweeeeeeeeeeet THWACK!"

cracks me up every time

[Alice I]

OH YEAH !
I love that bit. So cool that you got the words!!.

Hey I wonder why that is not on the soundtracks!!
I have all three.

The full length version of Eowen's song at the grave of Eomar is there
So Pippens Song from the Return of the King and
Also the song about The Ships to Valinor.

The lyrics are really great to these LOTR songs!
If anyone has the lyrics to some of the other songs listed lets post them here as well.

In the movie, Gollum doesn't sing the whole song, it's only in the book (I think)... in the movie, it only has, like, two bars...

I would imagine it's not in the soundtrack because it's really kind of a bit of comic relief... it doesn't fit with the mood of the soundtrack...

I LOVE Pippin's song on that soundtrack, though... it's so eerie!!!
