I'm leaving town literally in minutes, but wanted to note that the song, while
painful (in many ways) is endearing to me, because my kids loved the
video. They also love the Peter Jackson movies. And they love what
I've read to them (all of the Hobbit, three times, and sections for LotR--hey,
they're only 6 and 5). Somehow, at their ages, the songs help capture
things they wouldn't quite get otherwise (or that are simply too much for them
to handle now). Plus, listening to a charming, innocent, then
four-year-old singing that song is something else....
I won't get to participate again, but thanks, Elwen, for this great week.
I wish I could've spent more time on it--you've done a marvelous
job.
Not all those who wander are lost.
