Lord of the Rings Suite

I didn’t realize that Enya had composed some of the music from Lord of the Rings. I guess it shouldn’t have surprised me. Her version of How can I keep from Singing is unique and very similar to her songs here.
As it happens, I watched Return of the King last evening. 20 years on it’s still something that’s worth watching. Again and again. That’s from the days when directors and producers attempted to honor the source material.
I guess Amazon couldn’t screw up the source material anymore than they already have. Oh. Wait. They could cast Pedro Pascal as the King.
LKL:
Christopher Tolkien made the film makers follow the book or violate their contract.
