One of these groups also made a song of the Lay of Leithian (as published in the Lays of Beleriand), the long Song of Beren and Lúthien, my absolutely fav poem.

Stairway to Heaven
Just for you guys info. Stairway to Heaven has references to LoTR. also the songs Ramble On, Over the Hills and Far Away, Misty Mountain Hop and others have relations to LoTR. Most of those actually have names like Mordor, Ringwraiths, Gollum in the text if u look them up. and Stairway to Heaven. just listen to it. It says a lady whos sure all that glitters is gold. who looks to the west. it's galadriel leaving middle earth. just thought i'd let u know bout those references and songs

i read this thread and looked up some lyrics was this aboutr the love aragorn had for arwen:-
Tangerine Lyrics
Measuring a summer's day,
I only finds it slips away to grey,
The hours, they bring me pain.
*Tangerine, Tangerine,
Living reflection from a dream;
I was her love, she was my queen,
And now a thousand years between.
Thinking how it used to be,
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?
And I do.

The battle of evermore Lyrics
"The" Queen of Light took her plow, And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.
Oohh
I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley below,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.
The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Oh, Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.
The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.
Oh war is "battle" cry, Pick up you swords "learn to" fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.
Oohh
Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.
The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on.
Sing as you raise your bow,(ride on) shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.
Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning moon "below".
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.
At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.
oh oh, mmhm
aahh, oh
bring it back, bring it back,
bring it back, bring it back,
bring it back, bring it back,
bring it back, bring it back,
