[Semiiis]

this is so beautiful, i'd give you 1000 likes

[sasukevsorochimaru]

I like it! Very good job!

[robertnayael]

Brilliant! To me, your version is much deeper, for the lack of better word, than the original one. And it has this melancholic, Elvish feeling. Thanks for sharing!

BTW: Perhaps you could share the audio track you recorded as well? I've already captured the audio, but afaik YT compresses audio during uload :( and personally I'd love to have such a beautiful rendition in the highest quality possible.

true true

[superduperbjarne]

did gandalf sing this song?

[joeskelly123]

no i think the guy did who owns this acount lol dno

[socksandwich]

I'm confused; is this a Tolkien Ensemble version or one you made yourself (you say it's 'your cover version', which confuses me). I ask because the version I have of this song sounds much deeper and clearer, and you can hear female singing in the background.

[melyrn]

The one I have starts as a single male voice with guitar with the lyrics, sung fairly deep (a better deep voice than mine); then there is a female voice singing but not words, and then back to the male voice, and then ending with female; since it's just me, I can't do the female voice that well!

[socksandwich]

Oh ok, it sounds identical to mine then.

Where did you get the one in this video then? Because if the Ensemble did different versions of the songs I want 'em! :P

[melyrn]

???

[Elesach]

aren't you a cheerful one..

[RamirezGold]

it's very good, but why are there no originals in the internet ? x.x i love the "song of beren and luthien" but it isn't anywhere :(

[RMC1989]

you should youtube colin rudd's version it's better

[warrax89]

do you have an elvish song???

[melyrn]

an Elvish version of this song? No, I've never seen one.

[akrath17]

No. This song ther is in The Two Towers. Gandalf song it at the Theoden's court.

[warrax89]

But this song is in elvish??

[melyrn]

no, he sings it before Theoden in Meduseld

[wormdemorgoth]

uuhm...

im not trying to sound critical, - the song and the music's good,but gandalf DEOSNOT SING. dont take that from him. its just not like him to sing like that.

i suggest the topic should be changed to " an elf's song of lorien" or something- itll fit better...

[melyrn]

Gandalf actually sings this song before the throne of Theoden in the book The Two Towers. Of course, this version may not have been a version the Gandalf of our imagination might sing. But we do the best we can. :)

[wormdemorgoth]

lol

[Giantsquidsrock]

Yes, this version of Gandalf sounds like much more of a sage than that which was in the movies or even my imagination.

[Giantsquidsrock]

Wow. This is beautiful.

[ClashVelvet]

that was so beautiful

[TheDarkPan]

For some reason these kinds of syntheses reach through the Mist-in-Between better (or for me at least...) than a particular stone-cold opera in three pieces I also saw somewhere.

The key word is magic through /subtlety/ -- flickerings on the edge. . . One can watch the Babylon 5 episode "A Late Delivery from Avalon" for an example of mythological feel conveyed right through an audiovisual medium.

[melyrn]

this is the one in elvish and english? if so, it is haunting and incredible, one of my favorites

[arwendon]

i dont hear any elvish futher well done

[magnapeccatrix]

i want to suggest you to listen, galadriel's song of eldamar part 1 and 2 from the same musical band.

[nickos2000]

where is the song from?

[melyrn]

This is the Tolkien Ensemble's music written for the poem in The Two Towers. The Tolkien Ensemble has several CD's out.

[nickos2000]

thanks allot!

[nickos2000]
