If you didn't know yet, there is a widget on the sidebar that allows you
to submit music requests. Want me to post one of your favorite songs?
Submit it, and I'll post it! Tabby Hollowell took advantage of this
feature, and requested the Song of the Lonely Mountain, as performed by Neil Finn .
To be honest, I prefer the version of this song that is sung by Thorin and company. Neil Finn's voice isn't the best for this song in my opinion, but it fits well if you imagine that it's Fili who's doing the singing.
I do like how the drums, lyrics, and background vocals draw you in and get you emotionally connected to the song (and the Dwarve's quest), while simultaneously painting a pretty cool picture of Dwarven culture (especially with those lines "Some folk we never forget. Some kind we never forgive. Haven't seen the back of us yet. We'll fight as long as we live.").
What do you think? Do you have your own request or suggestion? Leave a comment or use the submission form on the right!
I like the version that the dwarves sing best too, but that one is so short. :-(
ReplyDeleteAs far as "The Song of the Lonely Mountain" though, I actually prefer Miery's cover of it:

This should work:

Agreed.
DeleteAnd you've showed me that before on G+.
I personally don't like Miery's cover all that much. I mean, it's not bad, but here we have these burly Dwarves singing about revenge and battle, it just doesn't fit to have it sung by a girl.
DeleteOops.
DeleteNever heard of female warriors, have we?
Not in Thorin's company!
DeleteTHANK YOU Jonny!! :-D I was so excited to see this.
ReplyDeleteNo prob. The suggestion form is there for a reason!
