The original lyrics? In tolkien's lord of the rings novels. The original music? This is the original, so far as I know.

For the beginning I apologize for my english but I just have to write something to this video...
I kind of stumbled over this one and I was completely blown away even though I'm not a big fan of guitar music...this one is just grandiose.
But I also have to say something about what you wrote about Peter Jackson. I think he did not such a bad job with the movies but we also have to think about....
Movies will never be as good as the original books!!!
I hardly realized that by watching 'Inkheart'.

the might of Tolkiens words+your music=amazing
-
this is very beautiful, nice job colin :)
-
A real bard indeed!
-
I've never had the pleasure of meeting a bard but I would imagine I am now in the presence of one! Carry on good sir!
-
I stumbled upon this today by mere chance. I'm so glad I did, this is beautiful. I remember crying when I read the book and Gandalf fell into darkness with the Balrog.

Anyone invented a time machine yet? Tolkien totally needs to watch him play and sing
-
Since I started to play the guitar, everytime I read Tolkien I think "aw, there are so much beautiful poems, why don't try to write some music for 'em? It should be stuff for a bard!" Then I discovered your channel. And I understood that the bards live on.

Could you make tabs for this? Or sheet music perhaps...
long live the internet for ease of communication eh!....sorry draconicon2....guess I'm becoming paranoid!

Well draconicon2, if you'd had some of the comments I'd had about the Tolkien stuff then you'd know why I reacted. However, I take your point and apologise if rudeness seemed to be displayed, I would be more concerned if I was as rude and ignorant as Peter Jackson and trampled over the great professor's work for monetary gain!...and to answer your other point, no!...I'm not envious of Tolkien....I'm just glad that he lived and gave me so much joy.
