If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Sound of the Week

Annie Lennox - Into The West[^]

An oldie this week, for those who stick around for the credits in movies.
Into The West, performed by Annie Lennox, best known for her work with Eurythmics, is from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
This may just be one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
The theme of the music is heard in other scenes of the movie as well.
The lyrics are about Frodo leaving Middle Earth, but generic enough to make it about other things you may hear in it.
It's an old favorite that YouTube recommended to me because of another (new) song I listened to.
And from there it went straight back into my playlist.
I'm not crying, you're crying!

Best,
Sander

I've bought movie soundtracks before and in most cases ended up rather disappointed. But I've paid a premium for one of the LotR soundtrack sets and to this day I'd say it's the only one I'd buy all over again.

Yeah, it's amazing.
I also love the Tarantino soundtracks, but those are mostly classic rock songs.
And in that category I also love Donnie Darko and Trainspotting (the latter being a lot of 90's electronic).
Most soundtracks have one or two tracks that are amazing (usually the intro and the end credits) and everything in between is filler.
Some of my favorite soundtracks include Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain (a.k.a. Amelie), some Ghibli movies (Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle come to mind), some Disney stuff (especially Beauty and the Beast), Secret of N.I.M.H. (by Don Bluth), Air Doll[^], Le Roi et l'Oiseau[^] and of course some epic Ennio Morricone, Hans Zimmer and James Horner soundtracks.

Best,
Sander

Account I throw back in face is fiendish (10)

Account = AC            A    C
I throw = I LOB
I throw back = BOL I     BOLI
Face = DIAL           DI      AL
Fiendish =            DIABOLICAL

or
Account = AC
I throw = I LOB
Account I throw = AC I LOB
Account I throw back = BOL I CA       BOLICA
Face = DIAL                        DIA      L

(I'd guessed the 1st method, but the 2nd one looks better; both work)
