You had the wrong Annie Lennox song in mind. As someone who loved her

solo songs, "Why," her rendition of Procol Harem's "A Lighter Shade of Pale," her version of Neil Young's "Don't Let it Bring You Down," as heard on The American Beauty soundtrack, and especially her original Love Song for A Vampire song that was the end theme for Francis Ford Coppola's "Brahm Stoker's Dracula," I knew that she was a perfect choice. Lol...read this earlier today and can't get "Don't Dream It's Over" out of my head....was a huge CH fan back in the day, and that song always made me cry. Yes, he's a great lyricist, and his voice should sound even better 20+ yrs on. So happy for him! Ironically, I feel better about this than I did back in rhe day hearing about Annie Lennox...couldn't get 'Missionary Man" out of my head, I remember... ..but i trust Howard Shore! I wonder who or what he is supposed to represent. Each LOTR end song was about or represented a certain character. Enya=the Fellowship? TTT=Gollum's song. And wasn't one of the reasons Shore wanted Annie Lennox so much was that nobody else could "play" Galadriel as well as she, she's supposed to be Galadriel singing? So will Mr. Finn be representing Bilbo? And other male vocalists other characters for the other 2 films? What "message" might the song arc convey? I wonder if this is soley his contrubution or if Shore has any input betond the orchestrations. All three shared the Oscar but who did the bulk of writing Into The West? And May It Be? "Hear me, hounds of Sauron, Gandalf is here! Fly if you value your foul skins, I will shrivel you from tail to snout if you step within this circle!" "Do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."
