Some questions about the Two Towers sound track - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Daisy Brambleburr · 11-28-2003, 02:08 PM

This has puzzled me for a while, and I've got to ask. In the CD insert there are lyrics to two songs, 'the Ents' and 'The Missing'. In which tracks are these featured?

This is actually a movie topic, so I'm moving the thread to the Movies forum - please continue there.

After a pretty exhausting manual search (the search engine wasn't cooperative!) I found this old thread dealing with the questions: <A HREF="http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=001618" TARGET=_blank>Old thread about "The Missing"</A> It seems that people agree that "The Ents" is on "Isengard Unleashed" & "The Missing" on "Breath of Life". Hope this helps a bit [ 1:17 AM November 29, 2003: Message edited by: mollecon ]

Thanks for that. I've listened to Breath of Life and Isengard Unleashed with the lyrics in hand, but really can't hear them in the song. I don't know if it's just me though.

As much as I love the soundtracks to these movies, the info you get from the booklets in the CD-cases leaves a lot to be desired - & has anyone found any sort of logic in the way they've chosen to print some of the lyrics, but not others?

The lyrics in the booklet are whole poems and only parts of them are sung in the soundtrack. If you want to see the lyrics that one actually hears in the cd click here.

Thx! Great site.

Ahh... Very useful. Thank you.

Thanks very much, that's pretty much cleared up the problem. And I know the words to Eowyn's funeral lament. Score!
