Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon and East of the Sun

It's not the deepest song that either band has released, but it's beautiful. The topic is the pain of loss, and Sharon's voice blends beautifully with Chris Adam's. I would love to see more collabs from the pair of them~

The Tower and the Ruin is beautifully moving and profound- which is not something I expected to say about a book about Tolkien, rather than by him. A meticulously researched and engaging work of literary scholarship that seeks to explain the *something in the air* as Drout labels *it*, that pervades both Tolkien's work and the many old/ancient works of literature that Tolkien admired. I highly recommend it for writers interested in worldbuilding, in addition to fans of fantasy literature, or those pursuing literature studies, along with anyone who ever wondered why The Lord of the Rings stuck with them through their lives in ways that other books did not.

About
A writer who loves to travel and currently teaches English in South Korea. I dream of being traditionally published but also keep telling myself I'll do some self-publishing research. In the meantime, I cafe hop, make too many themed playlists, and spend most of my free time outside exploring🍃
