There are six other songs that have not been identified yet. Null* is peice that has been identified but as far as we can tell only exists online under a differnt name and edited and manipulated. There are three songs not listed here that seem were made specifically for this adaptation and only exist whithin the drama itself. The song is [[Far over the misty mountains cold]]. It is based on the poem that Tolkien wrote for the bookm but in the adaptation it has been edited where some verses are removed entirly or show up later in the play. I said three songs were made for this adaptation, that was one, the other two are little off shoots of [[Far over the misty mountains cold]]. Anthing you hear with an Autoharp was written for the play.

There are three songs not listed here that seem were made specifically for this adaptation and only exist whithin the drama itself. The song is Far over the misty mountains cold. It is based on the poem that Tolkien wrote for the bookm but in the adaptation it has been edited where some verses are removed entirly or show up later in the play.
