RotK Soundtrack

[Beor]

Hate to kick a dead horse here

Or whatever the old saying about dead horses is

But does it seem to anyone like there was a lot of music left off of the soundtrack?

LOL!!

As I was doing my re-read to keep up with the LOTR discussion thread, I stumbled across some of the words from Pippin's song - it was from the funny walking song in the third chapter of FOTR that the hobbits (Frodo, Sam and Merry - NOT Pippin) sang to cheer themselves up after their first encounter with the Black Rider:

"Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight."

I need to replay that scene and hear the rest of the words.


EDIT - I was wrong, it WAS Pippin in the group! It was Frodo, Sam and Pippin, and Merry had gone ahead.

"Mist and shadow
Cloud and shade
Hope shall fail
All shall fade"

Or something like that... Just listening to the CD, it's tough to tell if he says "shade" or "shape", or "hope shall fail" or "hope shall fade".

I'll try putting on the subtitles on the movie ...

From the subtitles in the movie:

Pippin's song in the movie
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.

Mist and shadow,
Cloud and shade,
All shall fade,
All shall fade.

Bilbo's song in the book that Frodo, Sam and Pippin sing
...

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We'll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

So the first part is straight from the book, and the second modified.

I've been checking Amazon now and then and when I looked today they were taking pre-orders for a November 25th release date. They were also listing a 3 CD set for 55 US dollars. I couldn't find any mention of it at the official movie site. I wonder if it is all three soundtracks complete with bonus tracks. (I wish.) I almost want the soundtrack more than the movie!

Has anyone heard of this 3 CD set or what it contains?

I've got the three cd set you basicly get the three cd's in a posh cd box that contains the the three cd's and cases and loads of different front covers for both the fellowship and return of the king cases, pics like gandalf, aragorn and denathor. no extra tracks though
