. . . and we’re just living in it.

The season two premiere of The Rings of Power is about two weeks away.  To whet the appetites of viewers, Amazon and composer Bear McCreary have released to musical track for Tom Bombadil, a character Tolkien fans have wanted to see in movies and television for a while.  Check it out.

Bombadil also got a good mention in this recent post by Matt Webb, where he writes about how some fictional characters both break and complete their imaginary worlds.  Webb also mentions one chapter of  The Wind in the Willows- one of two chapters in that book that were so beautiful they were heartbreaking.

The jury is still out on the finished product of Prime’s Bombadil.  Here’s hoping he fits into the story well and isn’t just glorified fan-fiction.
