If it makes you feel better, I got that song stuck in my head as well.
I like what you said about free will. The thing that makes Aragorn so
impressive is that at any given moment he can say "Forget this, I'm going to go
retire to a nice place in the mountains with my girl." Of course, he
doesn't...he's the hero. The ability to make that choice and yet still choose
the more difficult, dangerous path is what shows his
nobility.

"But I say to you, King of the Númenoreans, not till now have I understood the tale of your people and their fall. As wicked fools I scorned them, but I pity them at last. For if this is indeed, as the Eldar say, the gift of the One to Men, it is bitter to receive."
Namarie Widfara, you are always in our hearts.
