Isn't that Danny Boy?

It's actually the inverse of Danny Boy.

But I'll come back again, your sad heart whispers..."

"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

What the hell lyrics are you guys listening to?

Danny Boy? It's on my Culann's Hounds CD, where even I can tell that the girl shouldn't be trying to hit those notes, but it's also been stuck in my head recently because it's in an insurance commercial.

Alas! Danny Boy is not the correct answer.

So I guess we need a hint...

What, saying it isn't Danny Boy isn't enough of a hint?

The meaning of the first sentence is reversed.

Was this perhaps Gimli expressing his regret at having to leave Lothlórien? Was the gender of the last pronoun reversed as well?


Just to bring it to the new page:

Good guess. Not correct, but a good guess! You have the correct speaker. The gender of the last pronoun is NOT reversed.

It sounds a lot like someone lamenting that they have to leave a fallen comrade.

So if it's Gimli, I'm going to say - at Balin's tomb?
