Into the West

i LOVED that song. i was kind of sniffing throughout the whole movie, but, at the end, when the song came on, i just broke down and started sobbing and all my friends were staring at me. it makes me so sad, especially when she sings "why do the white gulls call?" i dont know why. it just sort of tears my heart. i luv that song. i am listening to the soundtrack right now, but i havent reached that song yet. i liked it better than enya's song, and that was really good.

hey, i know this is kinda useless, but i wanted to know if there were any biblical allusions in Inot hte west of any other LOTR song. I have to do this stupid project for school and i need 2 songs with biblical allusions. if you could help that would be great thanx.

you might consider putting up the words for all of us that don't have the CD... I don't know just a suggestion. 🙂 🙂 🙂 By the way, It's me! Can't you tell.

who's me?
and hmmm....i don't know of any LOTR songs with biblical themes...
into the west....no
gollum's song...no
enya...............no
sory...try the matrix, there's tons of biblical stuff in those movies.

here we go...

Song: Into the West Lyrics

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
The night is falling
You have come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
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

Chorus

And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West

Interesting assignment

yeah. its this stupid stuff for english. we're studying the bible and its public school!!!!!!!! Quite annoying really.

to catch a fish so juicy sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!

I don't know Pip-foot. I'm sure you can figure out something from one of Pip's drinking songs. Because you love them so much.

Me? It's me. The person that no one knows because I didn't join until recently. Pip-foot has been telling me it's really cool and that I should join. So I did.

Thanks for the lyrics. Been wanting to read them. I can sing the song now. It makes me happy. 🙂 😉 💃 💃

oh welcome to the forums!
i'm the one in charge around here...😉

That song was so freakin' beautiful, sums up the whole triolgy. 🙁 Sad really.

Hi! Cool

you can delet this too. done with this as well 🙂

I love that song, it has such a mystical sound to it, try listening to it at midnight in the dark, even cooler effect (i have sleeping problems)
I'm pretty good at analyzing things and i didn't really see any biblical allusions, kinda reminds me of stairway to heaven actually, i can't think of any songs that have biblical allusions, very interesting assignment tho, i wish i could do songs, we do emily dickinson poems 🙁

I think that there is a similarity actually...
because it is like saying, lay down your sweet and weary head, that can be like telling someone who is sick or who is dying ,to just rest...and let go...
just keepthinking of it

ok this song is depressing...but i love it.....

i mean even without the movie just finished im getting tears ❌

u mean off SoundTrack?

yeah, put it on

*ok, runs 2 cd player*

presses play. *sniff, sniff*

"Mum wheres the Prozac?"
