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 Enough
Are you man enough, are you brave enough
Can you pick me up when I fall down
When I lose my place, when I lose my faith
Can you find a way to turn me back around
I want to take you the deepest part of me
Show you my weakness, all my insecurities
But I've gotta know before I give you every thing
Are you man enough, are you tough enough
Will you fight for love the way I do
Cos it's rough out there and honey, life ain't fair
No one else will care if we win or lose
I wanna share all my angels with you tonight
Open my soul full of secrets for you tonight
I need to know before I fall too far tonight
Are you man enough, are you man enough
Are you man enough, are you brave enough
Will you fight for love the way I do
Are you strong enough, are you tough enough
Will you fight for love the way I do,
the way I do
Are you man enough, are you brave enough
