My teenage daughter passed last month after fighting cancer since she was 11. Near the end, I couldn't hold her because it hurt her too much. I am sobbing while listening to this song. How I look forward to one day holding her in my arms again, watching her sleep peacefully. Oh, my baby! These are some of the most beautiful words in all of fantasy. I love the mental picture "the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise."

A few months after he passed away my uncle pulled out a random CD and put it on shuffle.. It turned out that it was that CD and this was the song it began to play.

Across the sea A pale moon rises The ships have come to carry you home And all will turn To silver glass A light on the water All Souls pass Hope fades Into the world of night Through shadows falling Out of memory and time Don't say We have come now to the end White shores are calling You and I will meet again And you'll be here in my arms Just sleeping And all will turn To silver glass A light on the water Grey ships pass Into the West

As both a Tolkien fan and a Hollens fan, this song really hits home with me. The imagery of the white gulls sparking the homesickness in the elves that inexorably draws them to the grey havens to embark on the trip home to the realm of the undying lands, literally makes me weep. I love the arrangement and Peter's performance. I, of course, can't help but sing along, an octave lower, and every phrase of the lyrics stirs my soul.

I did not know that. Though that may be something to do with the fact I could never read Tolkien...amazingly written but the style isn't something I can read unfortunately. I respect the author a lot though. He created something immortal.

@harrietrichards4595 10 жыл бұрын

That was actually quite a common technique among fantasy authors around that time - the author of the Conan books had a similar approach. The idea of creating fantasy worlds that are completely separate from our own hadn't really caught on, so fantasy authors generally tied their world in with the real world in some way or another.

Harriet Richards It also boggles my mind how similar his works are to the Christian Bible. But, then again, he was Christian, and a close friend of C.S. Lewis. So it's not really surprising.

@harrietrichards4595 10 жыл бұрын

I believe this song is in the end credits of the last movie. I don't think Tolkien wrote the lyrics. Tolkien's works have some similarities with the Bible, which obviously isn't surprising seeing as he was Catholic, but there's a strong pagan influence as well (primarily Germanic), and there's also a great deal of originality in them.

I played this song as a tribute to my Grandmother last year when she passed away. I had not seen her or home for 4 years after joining the Marine Corps. I was making plans to see her when I got the news. I have broken bones, separated my shoulder, and puked blood in training and sports and never cried for any of those things....but playing this song took all of my strength not to burst into tears on my camera. I had hoped she was going to be able to be see my wife and I get married, but due to her health she said she would only be able to be there in spirit, and I can tell you that I know she was there with us. I love you Gram, and one day the ships will call me home and I will see you again.

I just learned that my husband is being deployed to Afganistan for nine months, and I was drawn to listen to this song. I know it's not the same, and thank the heavens he's coming back, but the feeling of hopeful longing, of knowing I will see him again, makes me feel better, even while crying. So thank you Peter for your beautiful rendition of this song. It gives me some peace in my chaotic head.

Funnily enough, some sects of Christianity view LOTR as Satan worship.

@kyletactfultheologian 10 жыл бұрын

which makes absolutely no sense. In the Hobbit, the story of the Dwarves is intended as a metaphor for Israel in the Old Testament. Thorin is meant to resemble the expected King David, or warrior king, that would free the chosen people. However, the LOTR uses sort of two examples of a Messiah. Where Froddo appears to be playing the Christ who carried the sins of humanity, Aragorn appears to be playing the role of the warrior Jesus from Revelation. I could go on, but Tolkien was clearly representing scripture through both the Hobbit and LOTR.

Very nice. While the original version is extremely sad, I find this one...melancholy and inspiring. While the original version gives me a mental image of someone telling a loved one not to cry when death separates them (or in LoTR, not to cry when Bilbo and the Elves sail across the Sea) I find this version has more of a song about accepting death as inevitable. Like the verse "I have fought the good fight" type of message.
