In response to my tags on this post, an anon asked:

"All the ways of the City"? Is that like the Gondorian anthem?

I replied:

Mm, I don’t think so. I think singing in all the ways of the City = singing in the different styles of music used in Minas Tirith, or possibly, just in the different languages used there. Or both, which is what I’m actually inclined to think he meant (and now I’m imagining Sindarin rock!).

It’s LOTR, so different people bursting into different types of song is pretty much to be expected in emotional moments—what’s special here is a whole city doing it at once.

An anon said, with regard to this and this:

I always read "all the ways of the City" as 'in all parts of the City'? Like, ways in the sense of highways and byways.

I replied:

Mm, it’s possible, but I think less probable.

I reblogged a meme about our first Internet community, and said:
