  • ugghh, this song always brings tears to my eyes! so freaking beautiful!

  • beautiful.

  • looking at the crowd that they are targeting, each is its own version of the same story, and each is a good in its own way. i like both.

  • Legolas <3

  • you know when I first heard they were making an LOTR musical i thought it would be stupid. Now that I listen to it, I am so completely wrong and glad for it! This is awesome!!

  • I actually like this Rouse's Legolas better than Bloom's, I mean yeah he was fantastic, but this Legolas sings. ans in the book, that was his most endearing quality. And key to his character developement.

  • I LOVE LAURA MICHELLE KELLY!!!!!!!!! Love from Norway<3

  • 6 people will get stabbed by the nazgul!

  • Michael Rouse's voice gives me goosebumps! He's just amazing, stunning singing in both Lothlorien songs! He should have sung much more than just 1 song!!!

  • THANK YOU FOR THIS. I actually know Michael, so it was amazing going to watch this in London and see him on stage! Brilliant song/play.

  • This version is SO MUCH BETTER than the one on the CD. The orchestration in the chorus part just can't compare. It's stunning.

  • @JoeyMacMan1 No, it isn't a bootleg audio! It is from the London LOTR website. It was the first preview of the music from the show. All I did was download the video (THIS!) and post it.  They obviously made changes from this version to the original cast recording version. Dumb ass!

  • I knew Laura was hot, but not that she could sing so well :O

  • I'm sorry, I could be wrong about this, but I think at the last part, Laura sings Garden of light, not garden of wonder. If you listen to it, there's only one syllable.

  • @venausar1 and it ends in a "T" she enunciates quite clearly

  • i want instrumental :D:D 

  • Whoa! It sounds so different. The instruments and tone.... It's so weird. This was the first one I heard, but then I started listening exclusively to the album version and now this sounds so different!

    I wish I had this one. Does anyone know where I can find it?

  • if this isn't the CD one... how did you get this??? i want it :D (or should i say, need it?!)

  • Very very beautyful song.Bellísima.To my favorites.

  • This musical...I MUST SEE IT! where is it showing?!

  • @xstraywolfx its run ended somewhere in april or somtething

  • are the lyrics from the books?

  • Love it! My favorite par it when they sing in elvish ^^

  • Did you get this directly off the CD? Does the CD, by any chance, have stereo versions of this song? And if so, could you give it to me? ^^ Cause that would be really awesome. You could make a karaoke out of that. Please? ^^

  • Laura Michelle Kelly is a truely a talented performer, I could listen her voice all day. I saw the London production and she was amazing.

  • An amazing song, I love it!

  • The fact that there's a LOTR musical is already weird.

    The fact that, going by this, it apparently rocks is totally fucking insane.

  • @janusandjachy Tolkien used a ton of music in the books. A musical is probably more accurate to the books than anything Peter Jackson did.

  • Have been looking for the full version of ths song for ages...thanks so much for posting it!! xx

  • Saw this musical in London, was amazing.

  • my favorite line (besides elvish part) is no shadow fall across this land before the wind and fire I stand

  • This song is beautiful! I really like Michael Rouse...He has got beautiful and amazing voice.

    It's a pitty that I didn't see this musical...

  • beautiful... just beatiful

  • Holy... Her second and third verses gave me shivers! She has the most beautiful voice, and this song inspires me so much! It's so beautiful! Wow! Just wow!

  • have fallen in love with this version. bought the cd on amazon, but it's just not the same. Any way of getting a copy of this one? it would be wonderful! And thank you so much for putting it on Youtube, at least I can come here and listen to it!

  • This was the version that you could originally download from the fan website for free before the cd officially came out- i know it's not still on there and I'm not sure if you can buy it anywhere but if someone finds a way let us know cause I love this version too!

  • What's the fan website??????

  • seriously....where can u get this song? Coz itunes does not do this album :(!!

  • Actually, they do. I got it on my iPod. Just search for the Lord of the Rings Musical!!

  • I've never heard a better song in my life!!!

  • I love this song. I like the thought of Galdriel and Legolas having a duet like this. I only wish I had been there.

  • I only wish i could sing this song

  • Can you please give me a copy of this version? please message me. thanks!

  • can you please give me a copy of this version? thank you. please message me.

  • whoever rote this was a bloomin genius! love this song

  • The music was composed by A. R. Rahman and Varttina, with lyrics by Shaun McKenna and Matthew Warchus.

  • I could listen to this all day!

  • Where can i het this sound track? mind you i live in the states

  • oh how I only wish that I was an elf...

  • if you where an acctual elf you would be subject to the gods of the northmen

    oh and thats not Tolkien sorry that original mythology

    P.S. im not ragging tolkien i love his books, im an aussie and im outback aussie at that so dont be offended, your all a bit soppy the books may have beauty and chivalry within the pages but its based on the boar war, violence and death over comeingadversity, and they are master peices of literature, but youve missed the point, re read the books. please.

  • The beauty brings tears to my eyes

  • Best song ever!!!

  • i could listen to her sing forever...this is probably my favorit song ever.

  • Beacon of courage summon me home, to your haven of wonders untold.

    That's the Elvish translation

  • Beautiful!!! I just came back from seeing a performance of Les Miserables and....dare I say it.....yes I do......THIS KICKS LES MIS BUTT OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!

  • @hiblinist916 -- Ohhh wow... I don't know if I'd go that far. Les Mis is a pretty awesome thing. :P This is pretty legit, though.

  • this is a great version of this song

  • This was the best musical EVER!

  • I honestly dont understand wht happpen to it?

  • this is heaven I could die listening to it and have the lyrics on my grave

  • it hurts to close it like someone just knocked the air out of you

  • Seeing this musical first got me into Tolkien and I was so sad when it closed in London. It should of been seen by everyone!

  • It's just so magical. Don't you miss when you were a child, and you could make your own lothlorien. Lol, I'm being so emotional. This song!

  • This was the most amazing musical ever. It was so magical, and this song makes me cry. So moving.

  • Love this sooooong!! Laura's the best!! I love her voice, is so soft and also, relaxes me... ^^

  • I wish i had went to see this live anyone know if its doing any tours

  • I hope it tours too. :)

  • I love this song. :)

  • I am so glad someone has the full version of this song! so many posts of this song cut out about half of Legolas' solo! thanks for loving LOTR! :)

  • Wow, great song

  • Beautiful... can't stop listening to this song.

  • Saul Zaentz Company/Tolkien Enterprises owns the rights and can license productions of LOTR. Peter Jackson/New Line Cinema have no say in what is released only their films nothing to do with the stage version.

  • I agree, this is tolkien's story. NOT JACKSON'S!!!!

  • You are so right.

  • @broadwaydude2378 Personally, I think both the musical and the movies did an excellent job in portraying Tolkien's vision within their respective mediums. Jackson's retelling was just as much Tolkien's story as Warchus and McKenna's was.

  • does anyone know where I can download this?????

  • itunes ;)

  • It makes me cry- not because I think it's sad, but because of the beauty.

    A Lórien laure!

  • so freaking beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love the part

    'No shadow fall across this land,

    Before the wind and fire I stand,

    And you my child will know no harm,

    Enfolded in my arms'

    I wish it was on dvd the engish cast are amzin

  • went to see yesterdayyyys matinee - absoloutley amazing show..out of this world!! The songs <3 .. the sceneryyy WOW and special effects Jaw dropping. absoloutley loved it.. sad its closing =(

  • gaze on me lady of gold

    reawken my slumbering soul

    favorite lines (besides elvish part)

  • I love this song so much! It just kinda makes me want to sing or dance along. lol. I want to buy the soundtrack so much! Thank you for posting this. ^_^

  • I found a CD on EBAY and just love the music.

    The films were more Peter Jackson than Tolken for me. They stand on their own but I hope they release the musical on DVD. I could not afford to go to London to see it. I love this song.

  • I saw this today and it was amazing! Shame it's finishing in July. I really wanna see it again.

  • I think I like this version better.

    Though, one of my favorite part of the song isn't on this version :(

    When Legolas is like ooooh oh ohh oh oh ohh

    Near the end...

    Like Galadriel at one point during "Forest of light".

    :( I wish it was on here, hehe.

  • dude go to the play and you will hear youre ooooooh oh ohh oh oh ohh

    and it is lovley :D

    i want to see it a second time but i come from holland :( so bad

  • You saw the Musical in London?

    I was there from 7-11th of April, watched it on the 10th I believe, I was there with my High School,also from Holland.

    Were you also there with your school?

    And yeah, the musical was awesome.

  • ohh i love that part too...

  • going to see this show in june! does anyone know why thursday matinness are really cheap? im worried it will be empty and wont have the atmostphere of a london show... anyone help? god i love this song

  • the thursday matinness r sooooo cheap coz they have a questionaire fing where u ask members of da cast questions and they do this because they cut a few scenes from the show. i went to see it in november on the matinee

  • I went to a thursday matinee. It's filled with really old people and really young children! And the Hobbits dance and stuff at the beginning so you have to get there early. We got there literally 2 mins before it started!

  • GORGEOUS.  Just...gorgeous.

  • whered you get the lyrics, and any chance you could get lyrics to the cat and the moon?

  • I'm ging to see this on the 10th of may!!!!!! Dressed as an elf too!!!!

  • I`m also going to see this on the 1oth of may!

  • Wow, I want to see this show now

  • wooooaahh !!! I m gonna see the the musical but wow were can you download the songs? does anyone know? thanks =^^=

  • u can the cd from amazon

  • this song is downloadable off the website for the musical.

  • The CD version of this song is not this version.

  • How is the one on the CD different?

  • Listen to them and hear..

  • what does the bit in elvish mean ?

  • Lórien laurë A laiqa alcar O Ehtele lisse Nimrodel A Nyére auta A Lórien laurë A Lórien laurë Lórien laurë A laiqa alcar Orë áro Lothlórien
  • Golden dream

    Oh green glory

    Sweet springs of the Nimrodel

    Grief passes

    Oh golden dream

    Oh golden dream

    Golden dream

    Oh green glory

    Heart of the dawn.

    Lothlórien

  • cool! thanks for posting this.

  • i could listen to this every day....

    they have great voices i wish i could go see the musicle :(

  • god i love this song...best buy my tickets before it closes!! =(

  • Hey thinking of going to see this,

    But I didnt really enjoy the LOTR films that much...

    On the other hand I am a HUGE musicals fan...

    Do you think I would enjoy this show?

  • my best friend hates the films but i saw the show and made her come and watch it and she walked out saying she was shocked and amazed by the incredible show! the sets, the music, the choreography, everything!

    definately go watch it, its incredible!

  • There isn't a lot of music in it. But there it does have amazing sets, lighting, and all theat flashy stuff. It's definitely a spectacular show. This song is amazing live. If I were you I'd go to a half-price tickets booth and get cheap tickets.

  • Front row day seats £20 on the day at the box office, although they are in the front row so you miss whats happening at the back on the stage sometimes, but great value

  • definately. i'm a fan of theatre and i've got t day this is the best i've seen. then again i dont not like aything i see. i've seen it tree times and ive booked tickets to see it twice more. its that good :D

  • Wow! it's amazing! I'm very excited to go see it.

    Does anyone know (specially those who have seen the play) why gandalf doesn't have a song? Is that rather a "normal" play than a musical?

  • What normal plays do you know that have people breaking into song and dance?

  • Well, I can't say one but I meant that this musical doesn't have a song for each scene and character, like the phantom of the opera or rent, for instance. so i deduced the characters have more spoken words than songs. That's what i meant with my question.

  • LMK almost sounds like she has a cold when she starts singing on the CD version. The chorus also sounds bored when they sing 'haven of sunlight etc'. And, though I love the end of the CD version, this one is much better.

  • this is amazing

    and it is amazing on stage!

    everybody has to see it!

    although the spider is terrifying, its huge! lol.

  • incredibly beautiful. i get chills listening to it... and that's a lot concidering i listen to this song all the time.

  • not going to lie...that doesn't really sound indian, just sounds mystical. more kind of celtic/folk with a kind of twist.

  • i'm talking about the cd version listen and compare them both. The Lothlorien Demo by Varttina is mystical and celtic sounding.

  • I agree, the two versions are quite different all round; i do prefer this one to the cd - this one feels more dramatic and gives me more chills. They certainly enunciate better on the cd version, and i do like Laura's new handling on 'Son of my yearning' but i don't like how they cut that short bar right at the start so that now Michael starts singing the immediate second you press play on it - that annoys me so much that there isn't even a silent lead-in. Thanks for saving this 1 from oblivion!

  • I WANT THAT CD DANGIT.

  • I LOVE it!Lv it,lv,it,LOVE IT!!!! I'm gonna see the show in May for the 3rd time - I cry with sheer joy when I hear the music sent down from heaven itself & the show itself is breathtaking - its impossible to describe!

  • I've seen it almost a week ago and i loved it,it was just great,the balrog,the songs ,everything...I wish I could see it again.

    Fantastic work!!

  • i wanna go back and watch it again it was soooooo amazing i cant emphasise how awesome it was and dont watch it on youtube go and see it its amazing and songs like this are 10 times better and plus you dont get the feel the wind when the balrog comes or see the smoke come around you or anything else like that it is a must see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I've heard from a prrfesional theater critic that lord of the rings is stunning VISUALLY, but the music is dissapointing in places (not this one i must admit) but it lacks in Umph! Visually very good. you can see every penny was put into it.

  • someone PLEASE post the cd version of this song and other songs on youtube

    PRONTO lol I am desperate and i cant afford the cd at the moment

  • This version is better.

  • I agree--it's stronger. In the cast recording they all seem to be holding back, 'belting' wise, but I still love it... Did you hear all of 'Wonder'? It was BEAUTIFUL!

  • Totally agree with you Wonder is amazing just as it was in Toronto.

  • I have to say LMK's handling of the major key was amazing--I had heard part of the song on Youtube with the Show Montage clip, but I never thought the song could get BETTER. I can't stop listening to it now. Too bad the CD Lothlorien isn't quite as lovely as this one. Regardless, I have both on my iPod now :P

  • what is the CD called?

  • It's the cast recording for LOTR London, lol. Go to Amazon Uk and order it.

  • thanx a lot. ^_^

  • This song is AMAZING.

    Most breathtaking show I have EVER seen

  • It is very different sounding on the CD! More Indian and less elvish...

  • Indian? lol It is quite different but it's still good.. I just wish they would've let the female voices sing louder than Legolas on the elvish parts.. but it's still great!

  • thats weird how they would make it sound Indian instead of elvish.

  • The show, for anyone who hasn't seen it is AMAZING beyond words

    the staging is fantastic

    it took my breathe away as a GCSE Drama Student

  • I love this song!!! I'm dying to see the show... too bad I live in New York... :( I wish I knew what they were saying in elvish!!!

  • Lórien laurë A laiqa alcar O Ehtele lisse Nimrodel A Nyére auta A Lórien laurë A Lórien laurë Lórien laurë A laiqa alcar Orë áro Lothlórien
  • I got my preorder and it is fantastic!!!! They cut out some of the orchestral music and that's a shame still great! Buy it

  • i love this song in the lotr play in london. ^_^ thanz 4 posting this.

  • this show is amazing so magical made me feel like i was doing magic my self

  • i went to see this on stage in June for my brithday, and it was SOOOO surreal! this song was amazing, and the performance was beautiful! i've only just found out about the CD, and i can't wait to buy it! i wish i could go and see it again! lol

  • ive been looking for the cd for ages do you know where i can get it? i so agree about the show i went to see it in london last year it sends shivers down my spine!

  • it comes out Feb 5th in the US

  • i need to know how much songs are singing by Laura Michelle Kelly??

  • I could be wrong but she sings Lothlorien, Lothlorien reprise, Wonder, and Mount Doom song.. I dunno the name, lol.

  • WOW!! everytime i hear this i get that uplifting feeling, a truly amazing song sung by amazing artists!

    Seeing the show in may, sat in the stalls!!!!!

    CANT WAIT! XD

  • aaahhhh I can't wait for the cd to come out.. really really can't wait

  • Where can I download this song! I really want this!

  • Wow, this is a fantastic song... really fantastic. "Nimrodel" seems rather... anglicized when they pronounce it though, and as wonderful as Laura Michelle Kelly is, she sounds a bit too young to be playing Galadriel, but that's just me being REALLY picky! I love this song... I am now excited for January, I want this CD.

  • just perfect...i luv it so much

  • Is it a definate for Jan for the cd recording?

  • yes.

  • no i think it comes out on 4th feb with a 19 track dvd kind of thing. look on amazon or dress circle.

  • I just checked my pre-order it is still coming two days after Jan 21, 2008 so pre-order like I've been saying.

  • whaatttt???

    i ordered mine the day it came up on amazon and mines after feb the fourth!

    you lucky person =p

    getting yours two weeks befor i get mine =p

    oh well, im sure it is worth the wait =]

  • Golden dream Oh green glory Sweet springs of the Nimrodel Grief passes Oh golden dream Oh golden dream Golden dream Oh green glory Heart of the dawn. Lothlórien Got this from a fansite.. This is the Elvish bridge translated before Galadriel sings..could be wrong don't take it as the gospel.
  • Thank you! This makes more since about the Nimrodel portion of it.

  • I already wrote the lyrics out a long time ago..they are posted in the right hand box just click more..
