Heard this just two weeks ago and I thought her own rendition was as good or even better than Sting's. Haunting, beautiful music, Eva sings. If Sting were a member on BC replying here he'll tell you that he wept listening to Eva's version of his song. It's just unfortunate that she died too soon at the age of 33 with so much musical talent and voice. One writer added that "...perhaps God wanted one of his angels back...".
I thought Peter Jackson visualised the parting scene at the Havens very well, pretty much similar to what I had in mind from reading the book. The song itself described the bittersweet feeling in the hearts of both, especially the Elves as they had to say a sad goodbye to their old friends on their beloved Middle-Earth whilst looking forward to paradise across the sea and reuniting with their brethren. The lyrics is a mixture of a tribute to a talented young filmmaker named Cameron Duncan who died from cancer and was performed for the first time during his funeral. It described death is but a temporary parting: And allusions to the Undying Lands of Aman, Middle-Earth's paradise (not Heaven as Eru Illuvatar the All Creator doesn't live there): Aman was hidden from mortals (Man) and was deemed impossible to reach because it wasn't their fate due to the gift of Death.
ooohh, i love starry starry nights. the julio ingelsias version because that accent makes it different.

I think this was actually entitled "Vincent" For me: Sinead o Connor "nothing compares to you" and More recently: Leona Lewis "Run" (I know it is not the original, but this version seems sadder to me, Ilike the original also)
Don't know about cry but the following do get to me ; Sweet and Tender Love - Percy Sledge. Gonna Tear your Playhouse Down - Ann Peebles. Mother - John Lennon. How Can You Mend A Broken Heart - Al Green. Southern Man - Merry Clayton. Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton. And a few others.
Vincent van Gogh's sad life . You are absolutely correct, jamesd20... Don McLean wrote and sang this song dedicated to Vincent van Gogh, the Dutch artist. The error made by me was because, whenever I hear this song, I think of Vincent van Gogh's sad life and I think of his famous painting 'The Starry Night'. This was also the reason why Don McLean chose to start his song with "Starry, starry night". For those who do not know Vincent van Gogh, here are 2 links for you: http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Vincent+van+Gogh http://www.vangoghgallery.com/painting/starrynightlyrics.html And this is the famous 'The Starry Night' painting: Cheers... chris@ccc :crying::crying::crying: .
