Man (Middle-earth)

In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth books, such as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the terms Man and Men refer to humankind – in contrast to Elves, Dwarves, Orcs and other humanoid races – and does not denote gender.

The Elves call the race of Men Atani in Quenya, literally meaning "Second People" (the Elves being the First), but also Hildor (Followers), Apanónar (After-born), and Fírimar or Firyar (Mortals). Less charitably they were called Engwar (The Sickly), owing to their susceptibility to disease and old age, and their generally unlovely appearance in the Elves' eyes. The name Atani becomes Edain in Sindarin, but this term is later applied only to those tribes of Men who are friendly to the Elves. Other names appear in Sindarin as Aphadrim, Eboennin, and Firebrim or Firiath.

Origins

The race of Men is the second race of beings created by the One God, Ilúvatar. Because they awoke at the start of the Years of the Sun, while the Elves awoke at the start of the First Age during the Years of the Trees, they are called the Afterborn by the Elves.

Man (Francis Dunnery album)

Man is an album from British musician Francis Dunnery, released in 2001. It saw Francis experimenting with new sounds, most notably programmed drum beats - a departure from what had been the norm in his studio work up to this point. Vocalist/keyboardist Erin Moran (of A Girl Called Eddy) features heavily on the album.

    Man

    by: Level 42

    Hey man where you been
    you can't run away
    from the life you made your own
    now that it's gone and left you down and out
    you're not so complete
    now what do you say
    all the answers you propose
    nobody chose to hear this time around
    hey man you're so vain
    you rise up again
    to perform to pressure now
    no way to treat that precious heart at all
    calm down you're too proud
    now what do you know
    you present some facts to face
    but nobody chose to look this time around
    head in the clouds
    no silver lining
    what could be wrong
    hey man why so blue
    what's come over you
    sentimental apathy
    ain't gonna buy no sympathy today
    wide world wearing thin
    wild words deafening
    shout about integrity
    and then you go and throw your dignity away
    we're all the same
    we're all to blame
    what could be wrong, yeah
    hey man you got carried away
    carrying on the games that you play
    playing is not the way to win
    'cos winning can be a way that you lose
    and losing is not the way you would choose
    given the choice you're trying to change
    changing again you're carried away
    do you remember the day
    so long ago so far behind
    that history wrought in the fire
    that filled your mind with mad desire
    chasing the centuries down
    long roads you cut through flesh and field
    pulling the past as you run
    and it's dragged you to your knees
    it's time to pray
    it's getting harder to pay
    too many people
    for the rent
    given a number of ways
    is there no way you can change
