@@songoferin3427 I can really see him working the song out to himself, the morning after the night they spent with the elves on the way to "Frodo's retirement home."
Yet the might Sidhe envy us. They mock and call us names, yet they envy us. For We are mortal ,and in death we find peace and rest. While they..they must go on , ever diminishing, their power fading , till they are but shadows. Danu agreed to distance Herself, to give her sidhe freedom to grow, but they cannot bear it to be apart from Her. She is their source , without Her.. they fade to shadows. The mighty sidhe envy us our deaths.
@user-vz3xv8kb3x Danu is a folkloric Goddess, only known today through the name of her people - Tuatha dé Danann (People of the Goddess Danu). Also known in old texts as God-folk. The Tuath Dé are thought by some to represent Celtic pagan deities after Christianity made worshipping them as gods a taboo. Aos Sí ("People of the Burial Mounds" - the Fair Folk) are thought to be descendants of Tuatha Dé Danann.
Love it!
So magical
Always loved this one
I don't know about anyone else, but I get real Sam Gamgee vibes off this song.
Me too... That bittersweet ache for what we know we can never have, can never be...

Anyone else hearing the refrain from Skibbereen here?
