but in dreams


In Dreams - Edward Ross
When the cold of Winter comes
Starless night will cover day
In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain

But in dreams
I can hear your name
And in dreams
We will meet again

When the seas and mountains fall
And we come to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there
I will go there
And back again

There are some songs/scores that you cannot listen to without becoming emo. One of them is this short song, called 'In Dreams'. It doesn't actually exist as a song on its own. In fact, its part of the song 'Breaking of the Fellowship', which of course, originates from the score of the movie soundtrack for 'The Fellowship of The Ring'. It is one of the many beautiful, uplifting (and sad) songs from the trilogy's amazing soundtrack and never fails to put me in a retrospective mood. Which is why you should never ever attempt to mug while listening to the 'Lord of the Rings' soundtracks. Trust me, I learnt the lesson the hard way last night.

What I love about this song is the lyrics. Its very poetic and speaks of both the joy of being with friends, and also the inevitable grief of parting with them. Like every other song from the 'Lord of the Rings' soundtrack, when taken in context of the film's plot, it is absolutely apt and just fits the storyline to a tee. Whenever I listen to this song, I'm always reminded, albeit a tab morbidly, of a funeral. Be it that of one of my friends, or even my own. If I were to choose a song to be played or performed during my funeral, I would choose this to be it. If I were to choose a song to sing at a friend's funeral, I would pick this as well. Because it speaks volumes, about the sadness of parting with people, but then again, it also gives us hope, that one day, we will all meet again.

All of the sudden, I miss being immersed in Middle-Earth again. I should have another trilogy session soon...
