Billy Boyd's Song

FoolOfATook13 · 02-27-2009, 04:24 PM

I was listening to the Return of the King soundtrack, and came across the song that Billy Boyd (Pippin) sings as Faramir rides back to Osgiliath to meet the orcs. As moving as it is, do you think that Tolkien would have liked the song there, or Peter Jackson took too much artistic license?

"Home is behind
The world ahead
There are many paths to tread
Trough shadow to the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow, cloud and shade
All shall fade
All shall fade"
