      @RachelHardy Well I have enjoyed the series so far. Adar and Sauron's feud. The creation of the rings and seeing Galadriel take her own, which I believe in the future reference to the movies since the series is before in events that this is how she acquires her water power.
      Also Celebrimbor creating the rings for Sauron either unwillingly or willingly seems very interesting to me. The stranger to me is the most intriguing character due to the powers he has and me trying to figure out if he is Gandalf or not.
      I think I enjoy s2 more then 1.
      What about you ?
      What do u think of Season 2 so far ?

      Still haven't watched S1 yet - watched the first two episodes and didn't really feel it click with me 😂
      I might have to give it another try just so Prime will stop giving me ads for it any time I'm watching something else...

    Fun fact: the verses of this song come from three songs from book one of The Lord of the Rings:
    - Goldberry's greeting at the end of Chapter VI - The Old Forest
    - Frodo's song at the beginning of Chapter VII - In the House of Tom Bombadil
    - the only writing down part of Tom's first song in Chapter VII - In the House of Tom Bombadil
    This makes you singing this perfect.

    Personally, I think this song is the absolutely peak of magic that the series has hit. If Tolkien heard this he'd probably drop his pipe, throw his hat on, and go for a walk to write a poem about light on dew that rest on lily petals. I could easily see you as Goldberry. I haven't listened to the Goldberry song as I'm waiting to watch it on the series, but man, this song just hits perfectly. Wish more film studios could actually understand how sacred a form of art film can become when it is interlaced with music and poetry.

      This. Obviously the series is FULL of issues, but there are moments where they touch upon the magic. It makes me sad that they couldn't apply this quality to it all, but I try to stay focused on the pieces I love, rather than settling in the hate so many do.

      @@user-jt1js5mr3f while I disagree for the most part about the series being FULL of issues (mostly because even Tolkien said his work was inadequate and he was undecided with a lot of things and the show runners are having to tell a particular storyline which is a mad undertaking so I have to give them credit) I love your comment and how you are expressing that you have issues with it but you are also understanding that it has moments of magic. Disagreements like this make the stars shine brighter yet ✨

      @@oenchanteddoveart6294 I always try to find the good bits in something I don’t like, or is widely considered bad.
      To be clear, I don’t hate the show. I also defend the premise that ANYTHING written about the 2nd Age requires new content to be written because it’s just too thin. Even for the 1st Age, there’s just nothing narratively comparable to LotR or the Hobbit (with the exception of CoH or BaL, but even then), so I have more patience there than many seem to.

      @Not_Ciel 3 месяца назад +2

      Yeah they cooked with this one. It's the only thing in ROP so far that has made me feel like I'm watching the LOTR trilogy again. In my opinion, Season 2 is much better than Season 1, but it could still use some work. Hopefully they keep this momentum.

    Now let the song begin, let us sing together
    Of sun, stars, moon and mist, rain and cloudy weather
    Light on the budding leaf, dew on the feather
    Wind on the open hill, bells on the heather
    Oh slender as a willow-wand, oh clearer than clear water
    Oh reed by the living pool, fair river-daughter
    Oh spring-time and summer-time, and spring again after
    Oh wind on the waterfall, and the leaves' laughter
    Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow
    Bright blue his jackеt is, and his boots are yellow
    Reeds by the shady pool, liliеs on the water
    Old Tom Bombadil and the river-daughter
    Oh slender as a willow-wand, oh clearer than clear water
    Oh reed by the living pool, fair river-daughter
    Oh spring-time and summer-time, and spring again after
    Oh wind on the waterfall, and the leaves' laughter
    Oh slender as a willow-wand, oh clearer than clear water
    Oh reed by the living pool, fair river-daughter
    Oh spring-time and summer-time, and spring again after
    Oh wind on the waterfall, and the leaves' laughter
    Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow!

    What a beautiful cover! And what a relief to find something I can actually sing along to in the car! (I can technically sing with the soundtrack version, but matching Wainwright or going up an octave are the extreme limits of my range, and I suck at figuring what I should be singing instead. 😅)

    It's so so beautiful and it's definitely an earworm. I'm listening to this everytime and have this song every time my head and mind
    I liked the character and actor. It wasn't too much and the right correct quotes from Tolkien, from the book.

    Rachel always got it going on, from the looks to the singing.

    I love the series and could care less that others are trashing it. Also, you are so lovely.
