What song do you associate with your favorite book or movie?

The Last Ring by The Appleseed Cast immediately came to mind. The book (and movie I guess) it reminds me of is actually a whole saga: Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien. The song isn't specifically about LOTR but the cover makes me think "hobbit", the album it's on is titled The End of the Ring Wars and the song is about a last and lost ring. All said - I don't think it's weird that LOTR comes to mind.

I already did a track from this album (Marigold & Patchwork) because it's a great album that really tracks/encapsulates the move of midwest emo into post-rock. It's definitely worth a listen if you haven't.
