Okay im sorry, but if one more christian starts doing a god and harsh times of the christian path comparison i am going to hurl. I am a huge enya fan and I'm sorry but there are so many different ways to praise the song without bringing religion into it. No offense to the Christian religion though.

@derek808 Tolkien was an ardent Catholic. The Lord of the Rings is not explicitly allegorical - Tolkien even said he had a disdain for allegory - but the Catholic/Christian worldview is most definitely at play within the Lord of the Rings. Of course you can enjoy this tune for its aesthetic beauty - but, to give credit where credit is due, the story from which this tune derives its inspiration is one suffused by the Christian worldview.

@derek808 Please don't hurl. Only a few posts were from a Christian perspective. They certainly have the right to express their feelings from their hearts on any subject, as do all people who have posted on such a lovely and beautiful song. Peace be with you...
