Eowyns Song

[Beleriel]

During the incarnation of Theodred Theoden's son into the ground Eowyn sang a Rohirric song.

What did you think of it?

You know, I thought it was brilliant, but it was spoilt by the fact that they cut it off in the middle.

I think I understand why they did this.  It was used as a device to show the finality of death and at the completion of the burial it emphasised the emptiness that one feels when buring a loved one....

However, what a shame to not complete the song.  *wonders if there has ever been a complete version or whether they didnt know how to end it*  It sounded a little to me a little bit like they had run out of ideas!   

What about you?  Why do you think they did it?

I loved this song, so poignant, so stark but like you I think they probably just wrote enough for that bit of film and no more.

i really must get my cd out and see if its all on there

[Lady*Elentári]

its not EG dont look.

I searched hiiiiigh and low for that song... the best i could come up with was from this site someone mentioned that it was obviously sung in the old language of rohan. lol
then i just kind of gave up. but i did memorize it (the whole thing is on the TTT EE i believe or most of it) from the dvd.

[Shieldmaiden of Rohan]

i absolutely adore this song it is fantastic, i also wish there was a complete version

[Lady*Elentári]

someone could probably find it on a downloading program if they tried...
not to be confused with "The Funeral song of Theoden"

[EG]

perhaps if they release an unabridged Two Towers soundtrack,(as they are releasing the FOTR one) then the complete song will be on that.

I suspect tho, that the whole song was never written

[Lady*Elentári]

its going to be different from the special editions the put out a while ago??
