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.

    The Break-up For Real

    by: No-Man

    Go back and see the folks,
    They're always glad to see you.
    Trot out the same old jokes,
    Avoid the things that seem new.
    No talk about the wife
    She lives with someone else now.
    Forget your former life,
    Warm love became a cold cow.
    Driving to the coast,
    It's hard to know what hurts the most.
    Learning how to feel,
    It's the break-up for real.
    Go out to see some friends,
    You hope that you won't lose it.
    You sit there and pretend -
    Play adolescent music.
    Singing to the sea,
    You sing the songs that set you free.
    Learning how to feel,
