Under the Mountain dark and tall, The King has come unto his hall! His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread, And ever so his foes shall fall! The sword is sharp, the spear is long, The arrow swift, the Gate is strong. The heart is bold that looks on gold; and dwarves no more shall suffer wrong. The mountain throne once more is freed! O! Wandering folk, the summons heed! Come haste! Come haste! Across the waste! The king of freind and kin has need.
Whenever I read the Hobbit and get to the song parts I always sing them in the tune of this movie! So fantastic and such a large part of my childhood. I even bought the soundtrack on vinyl off ebay. I'm excited to see the new Hobbit movie and how they'll do the songs though. But these will always have a special place in my heart.
This song reminds me of when I was a kid. I would go to my grandparents house, and Grandpa would play the hobbit on vhs that he recorded of the tv when it aired,... I don't know, 30 years ago. It has always reminds me of simpler times.
i love old music in general and hate the new so i can already see me in movies shaking my head and humming these songs instead.i kinda hope they shy away from all the singing thats in the book.it works well in the cartoon and even better in the book(cuz tolkien is a literacy god) but i dont see it in the peter jackson light.
the misty mountains cold song from the new hobbit trailer is the one called Gandalf's reflection from original hobbit (where they are looking to travel back to the mountain)..this version of "misty mountains cold" is after they killed smaug and got their treasure back..as you can see the lyrics are different. all 3 songs are awesome
Jesus, the goosebumps I get from listening to this... I cannot thank you enough for posting this soundtrack online, my good sir. Now, if I can find the Return of the King [1980] soundtrack online, also by Maury Laws, I will be an extremely happy person.
When I was 8, which was really only 8 years ago, I would rent this whenever my parents took me to Blockbuster. I still hear these versions of the songs whenever I read the book.
Reading J.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit' now! Can't seem to stop reading it, every page I turn is another incredible, adventerous and fascinating that drives me away from reality and into Middle-Earth.
My mom and stepdad were having a garage sale. I was helping out with setting up everything and stuff since I was selling some of my old stuffed animals. During the day, my stepdad comes out with the video tape of the Hobbit. I quickly ran over, basically shouting "DON'T YOU DARE SELL THAT!!"
@crazystein65 Why do you say so? For an interpretive retelling of the story, he remained very true to the LotR trilogy. Of course, it seems concessions are going to be made to offer some "nostalgia" for viewers who have seen the previous films, but otherwise The Hobbit looks very promising. The crew (if you've been following the production segments being offered on the official Facebook page for The Hobbit) have been putting their heart and soul into the new films! I'm hopeful.
@wisgliebau it is just in the lord of the rings trilogy , i felt did not capture the charm of the books. the hobbit had alot of charm. so im afraid he will fail again. and ruin the hobbit. heck hey may do it right this time. but you never know
@crazystein65 People thought the same about the trilogy, but its pretty widely accepted he did a good job. Don't be one of those people that assumes something will be bad before seeing it. Give it a fair chance, and if it is a piece of garbage, than treat is as such. But give it a chance
If Peter Jackson's version is anything like this, I'm so watching it. I've never gotten around to watching his trilogy, but I absolutely loved the Rankin/Bass Hobbit <3
Awesome! I had this record (and accompanying picture book) as a kid and listened to it over and over. This was probably my second favorite. (15 Birds is my favorite.)
i love this so much........my favorite one i think........so comforting but 'chilling' at the same time....magical!! i''ll just leave it at magically awesome!! HAHAHA thank you so much.
It brings so many memories back to me...Going in the forest...listening to nature...and going down to the creek and listening to it run...so many wonderful memories...
When I was little- I would go to the house very dear friends of our family. Their house was in the middle of boggy woods, and the house was full of all kinds of strange art from all sorts of cultures, some of it sort of scary. I remember watching this animation, the wet soggy presentation of the environments really hit home- and the soundtrack (this song in particular) mystified me. It was all so perfect!
The best part is nearly all of the songs in the cartoon were straight from the book, unlike the RotK ones (which were still great songs, don't get me wrong) that were made only for the cartoon.
The thing that really made this movie great was it's soundtrack. The songs were so uplifting, haunting, gruesome, and inspiring. They fit so well with Tolkien's words
@GlennReturns I would love to have this soundtrack(however I find the portrail of the elvs in this vid awfull) they are suposed to be fair,, even the dark ones or the unwilling are most beautifull, yet no better portrade then an ent
@theangrysmurf12 That was the song at the beginning in Bilbo's house. This is a song near the end that the dwarves sing to cheer Thorin's mood when they are besieged in the mountain (at least in the book, I haven't seen this movie).
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never knew there was a CD/record. The only versions I had of these originally I did years ago by placing a tape recorder in front of the TV speaker.
LoL so did I... came with a little book and a 45 record right? Had it when I was like 6 years old and it terrified me... so of course I became obsessed with Tolkien's work. Weird how the human mind works huh? :-P
