Wouldn't it be better to move the details of this stub into The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (film), and perhaps add details about other songs in the film as well? It could also be interesting info on the Emilíana Torrini page. But it's hardly worth an entry of its own, according to the Wikipedia song guidlines. Right?

[edit] Putting lyrics in articles IS NOT fair use

DO NOT put lyrics into articles. It cannot be blanketed under fair use. If you want to include the lyrics, there has to be rationale behind it (such as serious analytical commentary on it).

Lyrics removed again, as per Wikipedia:Lyrics and poetry. Nationalparks 16:56, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I've removed them again, and put a hidden note in the article...maybe people will see this -- BlastOButter42 See Hear Speak 22:54, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] At least a link?

The stub itself discusses the lyrics. If that's not enough to include the lyrics as a separate section, is it at least safe to tack on an external link to the lyrics?

Also, someone said they'd insert this stub into a larger article last year, yet they haven't done it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.108.68.40 (talk) 12:53, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
