The Fellowship
Shore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Line by Line Meaning

When the cold of winter comes
As the harshness of winter approaches


Starless night will cover day
The night will be so pitch-black that the brightness of day is completely obscured


In the veiling of the sun
As the sun disappears behind the horizon


We will walk in bitter rain
We will endure harsh weather as we journey through life


But in dreams
Despite reality


I can hear your name
Your name echoes in my subconscious


And in dreams
Through the catharsis of dreaming


We will meet again
You and I will be reunited


When the seas and mountains fall
In the face of great cataclysm


And we come, to end of days
As the world draws to a close


In the dark I hear a call
A voice from the unknown beckons me


Calling me there,
Summoning me onward


I will go there
I will answer the call


And back again
And eventually find my way home once more

What a masterpiece. Everything about lotr, the music, the language, the world, the creatures... Everything so perfect and pure it makes you feel as if it all actually happened. Sad to say we've seen all lotr has to offer. Maybe someone can take it up and create a few movies on the Silmarilliun, but I'm afraid that would be near impossible... Guess I will stick to re-watching them once or twice a year.

There are the forgotten stuff about Tom bombadil that people forget exist, they are only in book form but there are the adventures of Tom bombadil which are some of the last times that Tolkien visited middle earth but can be worth the read.

One of the things that makes me most sad about how PJ was forced to rush Hobbit was the effect on the soundtract. Not counting Pippin's song or I See Fire, I can literally only remember one tune from the Hobbit trilogy, which is Durin's Song. And that we never got a full version of, sadly. :' (

The Ht's music is okay, even above-average. But "good" is below average for PJ & Co's crew. Idk what might've been, that we never got, but they probably do, and as much as it bothers me, it probably bothers them even more because they are true, passionate professionals.

This track was played at an funeral on the organ. It was one of the most epic moments in my life. So much emotions. I'm not somebody, who cries in dire situations but that was difficult. Since I loved that song because it arouses emotions. It does not matter if it is a good or a bad emotion, it is always a matching song.

As much as I love John Williams, this is the greatest soundtrack ever made for a movie.
