Favourite song sung in the movies - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Babidi Buu · 08-23-2008, 12:42 AM

My favorite songs would have to be..

3: Oh you can search far and wide
You can drink the whole town dry
But you'll never find a beer so brown
As the one we drink in our town.
You can keep your fancy Ales.
You can drink em by the flagon
but the only brew for the brave and true...
Comes from that Green Dragon! -Merry and Pippen at Edoras, EE

2#: Where once was light, now Darkness falls
Where once was love, love is no more
Dont say goodbye, Dont say i didn't try.
These tears we cry are falling rain
For all the lies you told us
The hurt, The blame.
And we will weep to be so alone
We are Lost, We can never go home.
So in the end, I'll be what i will be
No loyal fraind was ever there for me
Now we say goodbye
We say you didn't try
These tears you cry have come to late
Take back the lies
The hurt, The blame.
And you will weep when you face the end alone
You are lost, you can never go home.
You are lost, you can never go home. -Gollums song, End of The Two Towers.

1#: Home is behind, The world ahead
And there are many paths to tread.
Through shadow to the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight.
Mist and Shadow, Cloud and Shade, All Shall fade
All Shall Fade. -Pippen's Song, Return of the King.

Those are my three Favorite songs. I dont really know the names of the Songs(Exept for Gollums song) But, here they are

in dwimordeme, in lorien
seldom have walked the feet of men
few mortal eyes have seen the light,
that lies there ever, long and bright.
galadriel!galadriel!
clear is the water of your well
white is the star in your white hand,
unmarred, unstained is leaf and land,
in dwimordeme, in lorien
more fair than thoughts of mortal men - song sung by gandalf in edoras

Yes, that's what I thought when I first read the book (sadly, not having the opportunity, like many of you, to read the book first).

That is only part of it. The only chose the dark, sad parts of it.

Here is the song in full, in case you wanted to know.

And the sad thing is, I just can't shake off the tune from the movie every time I read it.

Pippin's song is a nice one, but I think Aragorn's coronation song is my favorite. Even when I saw it in the theaters it sent shivers up my spine, now it means even more since I know what the words mean.

I'm kind of sad that they left out the song of Durin's Folk. That one is the all time best (I even have the lyrics hanging on my bedroom wall

).

Well I personally like Gollum's song and the one Pippin sings in RoTK, but a song that is not in the movie that I like is the one Legolas sings in RotK
Legolas's Song of the Sea
To the Sea, to the Sea! The white gulls are crying,
The wind is blowing, and the white foam is flying.
West, west away, the round sun is falling.
Grey ship, grey ship, do you hear them calling,
The voices of my people that have gone before me?
I will leave, I will leave the woods that bore me;
For our days are ending and our years failing.
I will pass the wide waters lonely sailing.
Long are the waves on the Last Shore falling,
Sweet are the voices in the Lost Isle calling,
In Eressëa, in Elvenhome that no man can discover,
Where the leaves fall not: land of my people for ever!

My favorite bit of poetry that they borrowed from Tolkien and put into the movie is what Theoden speaks when he is being dressed by Gamling in the TT.

"Where now is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.

How has it come to this?"

I know it's not a song (actually, in the book, Aragorn sang this unabridged), but it is aboslutely amazing.

I also like Eowyns chant at Theodred's funeral.

YES.

Sir Kohran · 09-13-2008, 06:45 PM

Gollum's Song - need I say more? One of the most haunting, mysterious songs I've ever heard. From the desolate intro music to the last lines echoing away: 'You are lost, you can never go home...'

Bilbo's Song (if that is the title) sounds so beautiful at the end of the ROTK credits - almost like it's lamenting the fact that the movie is finally at the end and that we will hear no more tales from Middle Earth.

I'd love an album just consisting of all these songs.

Laurinquë · 09-17-2008, 08:03 PM

I'm rather fond of Gollum's song myself, Sir Kohran. And Pippin's. But like the sap that I am I think my favourite is Into the West. I was in an art class the other day and I was kinda tuned out, off in my own little art world, when I realized I recognized the song that was playing. It was Into the West. I was ecstatic. My art teacher is a avid LotR (and Doctor Who) fan you see.
