| Music of the Movies |
| Is it me, or are the soundtracks to The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King absolutely incredible?! I have to hand it to the composer Howard Shore. The music is beautiful and emotional, and each piece perfectly fits the context, themes, and emotions in the books and movies. And Shore cleverly entitled each song after the chapter titles in the books. FOTR and ROTK are Academy Award winning scores! |
| There And Back Again performed by Edward Ross track 17 The Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack When the cold of winter comes, Starless night will cover day. In the veiling of the sun, We will walk in bitter lands. But in dreams I can hear your name, And in dreams We will meet again. When the seas and mountains fall, And we come to end of days, In the dark I hear a call Calling me there I will go there and back again. May It Be performed by Enya track 18 The Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack May it be an evening star Shines down upon you; May it be when darkness falls Your heart will be true. You walk a lonely road Oh! How far you are from home. Mornie utulie (Quenya - Darkness has come) Believe and you will find your way; Mornie alantie (Quenya - Darkness has fallen) A promise lives within you now. May it be the shadow's call Will fly away; May it be your journey on To light the day. When the night is overcome, You may rise to find the sun. Mornie utiulie (Quenya - Darkness has come) Believe and you will find your way; Mornie alantie (Quenya - Darkness has fallen) A promise lives withing you now; A promise lives within you now. Gollum's Song performed by Emiliana Torrini track 19 The Two Towers soundtrack Where once was light, Now darkness falls. Where once was love, Love is no more. Don't say good-bye, Don't say I didn't try..... These tears we cry Are falling rain For all the lies You told us The hurt, the pain. And we will weep To be so alone We are lost! We can never go home. So in the end, I will be - what I will be. No loyal friend Was ever there for me. Now we say - good-bye We say - you didn't try..... These tears you cry Have come too 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. |
