My versions of the songs

[rivendeller]

Many years ago, I created simple tunes for most of the songs in The Lord of the Rings so I could really sing them while reading the books aloud to my son. Recently, I've begun posting videos of myself singing them on YouTube. Here's a page I've put together that collects them all (all that I've found time to do so far) in one place:

I hope you all enjoy them!

Hi rivendeller, welcome to the Downs! Hope you'll enjoy being (un)dead.
I like your songs, chiefly because the melodies sound rather like genuine folk songs than something done by a composer; fits the hobbits very well, I think. I also like the way you sing them - merry, careless and confident; very hobbitish indeed. Thanks for sharing!
