The magic of Middle-earth

I wanted to choose "Music feels on the weekend" from Dear @galenkp suggestions this week. And the first thing that came to my mind when I read this was Enya-May it Be, which has a very special place for me, which took me to the heart of the Middle World.

''May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you''

How can a song that starts like that not move you?

There are some melodies that take you to different realms as soon as you hear them. That's exactly what this song is like.

It is such a song for me that I feel as if I am walking myself to the place where Aragorn meets Arwen on the bridge... We are walking together with the forest elves in that beautiful green, sparkling forest.

It's been like that all my life, actually since I was 8 years old. I was 8 years old and it was the first time I met the first movie of the WONDERFUL 3 series, which has been remembered for years, famous for its books and influenced the whole world with its movie, with the crowd in the Cinema.

It was so crowded that they gave me a chair because I was small and I watched it in the corner of the stairs. But it was the most impressive hours of my life. We all know the beginning of the story. Just hearing Galadriel tell the story took me to a fairy tale world. Could such a thing be real? People were watching so intently that normally there is the sound of popcorn and drinks when you watch a movie and it always bothered me. But at that moment I didn't hear a single sound. I think everyone was aware of what a masterpiece they were watching. Just like me.

When I saw the hobbit village, I said yes! I must live there, even if the hobbits are not real, I must live in those houses, in that greenery! And all the while I heard this wonderful music. You can't imagine how my eyes widened. This song. It took me back to Middle Earth, where I was mesmerized. I'm 30 years old and that still hasn't changed. Now, as I am writing this article, this music is playing in the background. I start writing but I am so focused on the music that I forget what to write. Yes, it's like a spell. It doesn't stop taking me under its spell. Just like Sauron's one ring 😊

No matter what my mood is, when I listen to this song, I immediately calm down.

I would like to thank dear Enya for this magical piece. It will continue to influence me throughout my life.

The lyrics

May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home
Mornië utúlië ((darkness has come))
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië ((darkness has fallen))
A promise lives within you now
May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornië utúlië ((darkness has come))
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië ((darkness has fallen))
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now
