"There is magic in that music." "And it moves through me." "You feel the love of beautiful things" "To see the great pine trees and waterfalls" "To carry a sword instead of a walking stick" "Just once..."
I guess im asking randomly but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the account password. I love any help you can give me.
Powerful. It still gives me chills in a good way. I prefer the animated version to the live-action film. I still fiddle around with the piano music from the soundtrack. It's almost like a religious/philosophical experience, playing that music. The feelings and the inspiration run deeply. I think that there's a little bit of Bilbo in all of us.
Victoria Smith This song makes me think of my Nominated Dark Fantasy Novel, "THE MYSTERIA CHRONICLES" (Will turn into an animated film in the late 2020's
This movie was my favorite as a child. It will forever hold a place in my heart, over the new version. This song especially, moves my heart, and makes me long to go on an adventure.
I actually love the way this is edited. The way the verse repeats three times (albeit with different lyrics), and those low-key intermissions in between, really gives it a hypnotic and sort of lamenting quality, as if they're telling such a sad story that they need to take breaks in between. But the song speeds up, losing the intermission before the fourth verse, and when the words change to a positive tone, the whole mood of the song changes, which is a real contrast to what came before. But in the final verse, it returns to the sad tone from the beginning, as if even in triumph, the dwarves are still mourning over everything they had lost. Only when the whole song is bought together is it clear how brilliant it is.
sampea CAML funny enough, I actually did see this movie when I was mad young. And only recently went back to watch it again because I couldn't ever remember what happened after the scene with the trolls.
@@811brian Born in '88 but rented the hell out of it on VHS from my local library. Would watch it religiously because I've never seen anything like it except The Black Cauldron and Bedknobs & Broomsticks. Recently downloaded the film digitally and I'm hella mad that they altered or got rid of certain dialogue and sound effects. The tape was best. And Smaug's speech on who and what he is is still legendary to me.
I rediscovered this movie at the age of 28, my manly ass cried tears of joy the first time I rewatched this masterpiece. Next tattoo is the image you first see out bilbos hobbit hole, the sunset, the trees, the clouds, the ambiance, straight up beautiful.
This song's lyrics:👇 This song is first heard at the assembly in Bag End. Here it is sung accompanied by instruments; Fíli and Kíli on fiddles; Dori, Nori, and Ori on flutes; Bombur on a drum; Bifur and Bofur on clarinets; Dwalin and Balin on viols, and finally Thorin with his golden harp. While the dwarves sing, Tolkien describes how something Tookish and adventurous wakes up inside Bilbo. Here they sing: Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away ere break of day To seek the pale enchanted gold. We must away, ere break of day, To win our harps and gold from him! After slaying Smaug and reclaiming the Lonely Mountain, yet another new form of the song is sung: Under the Mountain dark and tall The King has come unto his hall! His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread, And ever so his foes shall fall. The sword is sharp, the spear is long, The arrow swift, the Gate is strong; The heart is bold that looks on gold; The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong. The mountain throne once more is freed! O! wandering folk, the summons heed! Come haste! Come haste! across the waste! The king of friend and kin has need. The king has come unto his hall Under the Mountain dark and tall. The Worm of Dread is slain and dead, And ever so our foes shall fall! this was the actual lyrics but the lyrics in the video is an unfinished song,was the the song Neil Finn wrote .This was before smaug was killed,the unfinished lyrics are: The dwarves of yore made mighty spells, While hammers fell like ringing bells In places deep, where dark things sleep, In hollow halls beneath the fells. For ancient king and elvish lord There many a gleaming golden hoard They shaped and wrought, and light they caught To hide in gems on hilt of sword. On silver necklaces they strung The flowering stars, on crowns they hung The dragon-fire, in twisted wire They meshed the light of moon and sun. Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day, To claim our long-forgotten gold. Goblets they carved there for themselves And harps of gold; where no man delves There lay they long, and many a song Was sung unheard by men or elves. The pines were roaring on the height, The winds were moaning in the night. The fire was red, it flaming spread; The trees like torches blazed with light. The bells were ringing in the dale And men they looked up with faces pale; The dragon’s ire more fierce than fire Laid low their towers and houses frail. The mountain smoked beneath the moon; The dwarves they heard the tramp of doom. They fled their hall to dying fall Beneath his feet, beneath the moon. Far over the misty mountains grim To dungeons deep and caverns dim Whilst residing with Beorn,the dwarves sing: The wind was on the withered heath, but in the forest stirred no leaf: there shadows lay by night or day, and dark things silent crept beneath. The wind came down from mountains cold, and like a tide it roared and rolled; the branches groaned, the forest moaned, and leaves were laid upon the mould. The wind went on from West to East; all movement in the forest ceased, but shrill and harsh across the marsh its whistling voices were released. The grasses hissed, their tassels bent, the reeds were rattling--on it went o'er shaken pool under heavens cool where racing clouds were torn and rent. It passed the Lonely Mountain bare and swept above the dragon's lair: there black and dark lay boulders stark and flying smoke was in the air. It left the world and took its flight over the wide seas of the night. The moon set sail upon the gale, and stars were fanned to leaping light. After slaying Smaug and reclaiming the Lonely Mountain, yet another new form of the song is sung.The unfinished lyrics are: The dwarves of yore made mighty spells, While hammers fell like ringing bells In places deep, where dark things sleep, In hollow halls beneath the fells. On silver necklaces they strung The light of stars, on crowns they hung The dragon-fire, from twisted wire The melody of harps they wrung. Now call we over the mountains cold, ‘Come back unto the caverns old’! Here at the Gates the king awaits, His hands are rich with gems and gold. bye!!!
This song really captures that feeling the night before you know something big will happen tomorrow. How your next sleep will be the only peaceful sleep you’ll have for some time.
This film captured the style and tone of the original book a HELL of a lot better than the recent film did. This film was a mostly light-hearted adventure that, when it had darkness, was showing the flaws in old, bitter, and angry men, just as the book did. It wasn't a swashbuckling tale of adventure, so I don't understand why Peter Jackson tried to turn it into that.
Don't be too hard on Jackson for this one...he wasnt involved from the beginning, they only brought him in way later and by that point the Executive Meddling was in full swing. Hard to salvage something like that, I think.
@@wakerobin9215 basically this. Peter Jackson was called in to try his best to save the project. Unlike LOTR, the producers didn't want to give the director (no matter if it Guillermo Del Toro or Peter Jackson) creative control over the project. A good example is in the wardrobe design for the characters. PJ wanted Thorin to look like a traditional dwarf with a long beard etc, instead the producers wanted something with more sex appeal even if it was less dwarf-ish. Azog was originally going to be fully prosthetic, but the tight deadlines of the producers forced a CGI rendition
@@DougWIngate I actually didn't know that about the dwarves' design. I mean, you look at Gimli in Lord of the Rings and you can immediately tell that he's a dwarf. In the new movies, they barely look like dwarves at all (with the exception of Balin and Dwalin, in my opinion). Heck, Kili doesn't even have a beard, and he's supposed to be the heir to Erebor
Still gives me chills. Love the version from the live action (one of the few parts worth preserving) but this.... this... I just took 8 points of nostalgia damage.
thanks for sharing. I forgot how much of the extra poems were added into the animated version. ^_^ I just wish I could find the reading of it from Gandalf. LOVED his reading.
Thorin: "Thorin and company at your service. Dwalin, Balin, Kíli, Fíli, Dori, Nori And Ori, Óinse and Glóinse, call him Bifur and him Bofur..." Bombur: And err, Bombur at your service. All dwarves: "WE'RE ALL AT YOUR SERVICE!"
One of several songs that are essentially required to be added to the "Become a Bard" mod for Skyrim. Likewise with all the uncensored bawdy songs from the poetry books from Daggerfall.
I came across this version when I was looking for the song from the movie of 2012. Although I like the modern one, this is just a gem and a masterpiece!
This the first time I'm hearing this all the way through without a pause. I watched the movie growing up, and recently bought it on DVD. I actually haven't seen all the new Hobbit movies. I did listen to that version but this 1977 version is better.
Even the cartoon doesn't do "ALL" the verses. I always liked this tune, which was modified and used for the real life. The new tune for this song as used in the Real life movie says, I'm a dwarf so let me sing like one!! They are NOT the dwarves from Snow White....They are warriors of old!!!
Issue is that the movie trilogy was too long. JRRT's storry didnt have material for 3 movies. So PJ had to strech it too much adding so many unnecessary stuff. Also CGI look too fairytale-like.
Because too many people were either expecting it to be exactly by the book or "cute" like the cartoon. But what they dont realize is that when Tolkien wrote it, it was back in the 1930's when tv was barely new. The cartoon came out in 1977 and was fast paced to try and go by the book.
I don't think it was pathetic. I think it was very well done. You must remember, they could not copy the cartoon version, but I always thought the cartoons did a great job with the Tolkein songs.
IMO they should have done whatever necessary to acquire the rights to this rendition for the movies. Hobbit nerds would have basically died the second the song started if they used this arrangement
People who shat on this movie unnecessarily just dont feel the love of beautiful things lol jk. But on the for real The original songs in this movie carries the message of the fact that our lives are our in our own hands to mold and craft however we see fit ,and that we ourselves are the only the only ones that can make that happen for us. It honestly portays that part of the story even better than the book itself and i stand by that. Its byyyyyy far the best of the three animated films. They obviously put a ton of love and heart into this movie. Plus if my step dad hadnt shown me the animated Hobbit i probably would have never watched jacksons movies or read the books
Not true. I was born in 1982 and this was one of my favorite movies growing up. I love all of the songs in this film and believe that this is the superior version of this song, both in tone and performance.
I grew up with the Rankin/Bass Animated Version of The Hobbit. I wish they made an Animated Adaption of The Black Cauldron book from The Chronicles of Prydain Series. Also, this song reminds me of The Black Cauldron and TALES from EARTHSEA!
Disney's Black Cauldron was a real treat, though it sort of mixes the Book of Three and the Black Cauldron together. A good watch that got me right into the books.
Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day To seek our pale enchanted gold The dwarves of yore made mighty spells While hammers fell like ringing bells In places deep, where dark things sleep In hollow halls beneath the fells For ancient king and elvish lord There many a gleaming golden hoard They shaped and wrought, and light they caught To hide in gems on hilt of sword On silver necklaces they strung The flowering stars on crowns they hung The dragon-fire in twisted wire They meshed the light of moon and sun Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day To claim our long-forgotten gold Goblets they carved there for themselves And harps of gold, where no man delves There lay they long, and many a song Was sung unheard by men or elves The pines were roaring on the heights The winds was moaning in the night The fire was red, it flaming spread The trees like torches blazed with light The bells were ringing in the dale And men looked up with faces pale The dragon's ire, more fierce than fire Laid low their towers and houses frail The mountain smoked beneath the moon The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom They fled their hall to dying fall Beneath his feet, beneath the moon Far over the misty mountains grim To dungeons deep and caverns dim We must away, ere break of day To win our harps and gold from him Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old
Question: Why COULDN'T they have bought the rights to the 1977 soundtrack? Seriously. The cost to do that is probably less than one unnecessary shot of Thorin walking in slow motion. Yeah okay fine, they did a nice version of this song...and sang only two verses of it! They didn't bother with the Elven or Goblin songs at all!
Musicals are a huge loser at the box office. Nothing turns off an audience faster than a song sequence. There are exceptions but EXTREMELY RARE. Audiences haven't been into songs in movies sinve the 60s and hollywood execs know this
No disrespect to the version from Jackson's Hobbit movies, but it just doesn't capture the same spirit that this one does. It's too... modern and over-produced. These are supposed to be just average dwarves singing a tune after dinner... it's _supposed_ to sound like a folk song because it _is_ a folk song.
KJV Bible. Isaiah 27:1 [1]In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
dawjinc that has nothing whatsoever to do with it? I mean seriously...they could have gotten the rights to the old made-for-tv cartoon soundtrack CHEAPER than having a whole new one made. And I happen to think if they had used less money on "eye catching" CGI it would have improved the movie greatly.
Oh no I agree with you, yes they could have done what you said, but that is not what they did. Now a days people look for more visual effects than how a story should be. I read the book(Just recently in fact) I love the songs and poems and character back stories. I was just saying they did a really good movie on the budget they had....Yes they could have put more story in than CGI but most movie watchers want to see action rather than story.
dawjinc Whereas I think that the very notion of "with the budget they had" is kind of bizarre, considering the budget was staggeringly huge (up to $315,000,000 Once more, lots of things I liked that they took creative license with (including Radagast, elaborating on the Necromancer, etc.) but I feel like they took away too much from the stuff that made the Hobbit what it was.
Peter Deer I was only stating something Jackson said in an interview, "If we had had more funds we could have done more of it by the book" which I would agree they wasted money where they didnt need too "Radagast" and Necromancer, and bringing in Azog as the one "chasing" them, etc. Peter Jackson, I think, read way too far 'between the lines' in the book.
dawjinc I think he made Azog the big bad orc instead of Bolg for another reason because Bolg is in the movie, as Azog's son and chief lieutenant. I think PJ wanted to change it to make Azog a more identifiable villain from the beginning to end (Battle of Moria to the end).
timlamiam - I think that Peter Jackson really didn't want to do the Hobbit. If he wanted a battle movie, there's plenty of content in the Silmarillion, but good luck getting funds for that.
In my opinion, the animated adaptations of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings will always be far superior to the Peter Jackson films, to me they’re just so much more beautiful, accurate to the book, and have a true since of adventure that feels nothing short of truly Tolkien
Issue is that the movie trilogy was too long. JRRT's story didnt have material for 3 movies. So PJ had to strech it too much adding so many unnecessary stuff. Also CGI look too fairytale-like. It made even the dark and serious scenes too bright and unrealistic.
+KougaTintinFan Believe it or not most of this isn't the song that is sung at Bilbo's house, but rather the song that the dwarves sung when they learned of Smaug's demise in the original book.Hence why they say the worm of dread is slain and dead.
Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day To seek the pale enchanted gold We must away, ere break of day To win our harps and gold from him Under the Mountain dark and tall, The king has come into his hall. His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread, And ever so his foes shall fall! The sword is sharp, the spear is long, The arrow swift, the Gate is strong; The heart is bold that looks on gold; And dwarves no more shall suffer wrong. The mountain throne once more is freed! Oh wandering folk, the summons heed! Come haste! Come haste! Across the waste! The king of friend and kin has need. The King is come unto his hall, Under the Mountain dark and tall. The Worm of Dread is slain and dead, And ever so our foes shall fall! tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Misty_Mountains_Cold
I saw the animated Hobbit during my teenage years, so when the ridiculous Peter Jackson movies loosely based on "The Hobbit" came out, I found myself expecting that the dwarf's song after dinner at Bilbo's would use this melody. I was rather disappointed with the movie version, which was utterly forgettable. Of course that's not the only thing about that fiasco that annoyed me. Honestly, "The Hobbit" is shorter than any volume of "The Lord of the Rings," yet Jackson added enough new material to drag out the story for three ludicrous movies and pretty much lost the magic his team achieved in the extended version of "The Lord of the Rings." (The theatrical version has some glaring omissions that are present in the director's cut.) Jackson should have licensed this music though, since a generation of Hobbit lovers grew up loving it!
Darn straight, Merlin. The sad thing is I try to get my sister and mother to see this epic story, but there is no way for us to watch the original, so we are forced to watch the PJ version, which drives my sister to tears and literally makes my mother fall asleep. It's that boring and forgettable. Not to mention 9 hours in a cluttered mess compared to an hour and a half (if I remember correctly) masterpiece. There really is no comparison.
Once upon a time read The Hobbit, the Silmarilian, the Trilogy, and several books about lost tales and Farmer Giles of Ham that even I can't remember. I think, if memory serves, that some of those old books work their way into Jackson's "Hobbit". I guess my beef with almost all movies is they think they are going to one up a book, and they never do. A movie and a book are different things, to be sure, but it just seems to me that a truly inspired director could be very faithful to masterpiece literature rather than constantly twisting it inside out and making it always feel a shadow of the work that inspired it. At least to me. The cartoons were adequate because they were just that - cartoons. I did not expect much of them, and I was a child. But the movies...? Still, I watched the hell out of Director's Cut LOTR......
"There is magic in that music." "And it moves through me." "You feel the love of beautiful things" "To see the great pine trees and waterfalls" "To carry a sword instead of a walking stick" "Just once..."
I'll be a lot older and a lot wiser before I can write anything like that.
It is so true. This song moves through me, and makes me long for adventure. It hurts me in the most beautiful way.

+Victoria Smith As usual the old version blows the new out of the water, I agree.

Imagine singing this song knowing that it's all true, and you really will be setting off to reclaim your gold the next morning.
i much prefer the old animated film, it captured the heart of the original book.
Agreed. The new ones are crap.
@@281cu6 Agreed. Absolute garbage.
100 percent agreed
The song in Jackson's film is pretty good though. Much more haunting. But I loved this record. Still have the vinyl after 40 years!
Yep, but sorry man, but the Howard Shore's score it's the best of the legendarium Xd
When my dad read The Hobbit out loud to us as kids, this is the tune he used to sing all the verses.
This movie was my favorite as a child. It will forever hold a place in my heart, over the new version. This song especially, moves my heart, and makes me long to go on an adventure.
Your comment still rings true. It's harder and harder to find the 1977 songs and the Tolkien fandom is lessened because of it.

So majestic and beautiful. Reminds me of an ancient tale that transpired long ago, as it should.
This song's lyrics:👇
This song is first heard at the assembly in Bag End. Here it is sung accompanied by instruments; Fíli and Kíli on fiddles; Dori, Nori, and Ori on flutes; Bombur on a drum; Bifur and Bofur on clarinets; Dwalin and Balin on viols, and finally Thorin with his golden harp. While the dwarves sing, Tolkien describes how something Tookish and adventurous wakes up inside Bilbo. Here they sing:
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To seek the pale enchanted gold.
We must away, ere break of day,
To win our harps and gold from him!
After slaying Smaug and reclaiming the Lonely Mountain, yet another new form of the song is sung:
Under the Mountain dark and tall
The King has come unto his hall!
His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread,
And ever so his foes shall fall.
The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong;
The heart is bold that looks on gold;
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.
The mountain throne once more is freed!
O! wandering folk, the summons heed!
Come haste! Come haste! across the waste!
The king of friend and kin has need.
The king has come unto his hall
Under the Mountain dark and tall.
The Worm of Dread is slain and dead,
And ever so our foes shall fall!
this was the actual lyrics but the lyrics in the video is an unfinished song,was the the song Neil Finn wrote .This was before smaug was killed,the unfinished lyrics are:
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
In hollow halls beneath the fells.
For ancient king and elvish lord
There many a gleaming golden hoard
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught
To hide in gems on hilt of sword.
On silver necklaces they strung
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire, in twisted wire
They meshed the light of moon and sun.
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day,
To claim our long-forgotten gold.
Goblets they carved there for themselves
And harps of gold; where no man delves
There lay they long, and many a song
Was sung unheard by men or elves.
The pines were roaring on the height,
The winds were moaning in the night.
The fire was red, it flaming spread;
The trees like torches blazed with light.
The bells were ringing in the dale
And men they looked up with faces pale;
The dragon’s ire more fierce than fire
Laid low their towers and houses frail.
The mountain smoked beneath the moon;
The dwarves they heard the tramp of doom.
They fled their hall to dying fall
Beneath his feet, beneath the moon.
Far over the misty mountains grim
To dungeons deep and caverns dim
Whilst residing with Beorn,the dwarves sing:
The wind was on the withered heath,
but in the forest stirred no leaf:
there shadows lay by night or day,
and dark things silent crept beneath.
The wind came down from mountains cold,
and like a tide it roared and rolled;
the branches groaned, the forest moaned,
and leaves were laid upon the mould.
The wind went on from West to East;
all movement in the forest ceased,
but shrill and harsh across the marsh
its whistling voices were released.
The grasses hissed, their tassels bent,
the reeds were rattling--on it went
o'er shaken pool under heavens cool
where racing clouds were torn and rent.
It passed the Lonely Mountain bare
and swept above the dragon's lair:
there black and dark lay boulders stark
and flying smoke was in the air.
It left the world and took its flight
over the wide seas of the night.
The moon set sail upon the gale,
and stars were fanned to leaping light.
After slaying Smaug and reclaiming the Lonely Mountain, yet another new form of the song is sung.The unfinished lyrics are:
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
In hollow halls beneath the fells.
On silver necklaces they strung
The light of stars, on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire, from twisted wire
The melody of harps they wrung.
Now call we over the mountains cold,
‘Come back unto the caverns old’!
Here at the Gates the king awaits,
His hands are rich with gems and gold.
bye!!!

That bloody deep note when trying to sing along.

Because money
Because producers; and that he wasn't brought on until after it was already written out.

Thank you so goddamned much for uploading this with the first part of this perfectly executed music. It has been torture to try to find it.
Even the cartoon doesn't do "ALL" the verses. I always liked this tune, which was modified and used for the real life. The new tune for this song as used in the Real life movie says, I'm a dwarf so let me sing like one!! They are NOT the dwarves from Snow White....They are warriors of old!!!
The adopted Children of Iluvatar, created by Aule, made to endure
This song with alan lee's illustrations....epic!
Imagine hearing this song in a Broadway/music theater version of the Hobbit.
why is every hating on the new hobbit? just because its new doesn't mean its bad.
Right, but the problem is: it is bad.
You’re right - it being bad means it’s bad
Issue is that the movie trilogy was too long. JRRT's storry didnt have material for 3 movies. So PJ had to strech it too much adding so many unnecessary stuff. Also CGI look too fairytale-like.
I like this version better since 'twas the first version I heard... ; )
Perfectly done! Thank you!
Walt Disney Presents Bilbo Baggins and the 13 Dwarves
The guy rhat composed this also composed "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". That's some versatility.
What? I did not know that
Because too many people were either expecting it to be exactly by the book or "cute" like the cartoon. But what they dont realize is that when Tolkien wrote it, it was back in the 1930's when tv was barely new. The cartoon came out in 1977 and was fast paced to try and go by the book.
I was born in 94 and I think this is better than the song from the new movie!
köszi a feltöltést!
Beautiful cords
I hate myself for tossing away the cassette tape of the original sound tracks. i used to listen to it A LOT
Behtareen!
I don't think it was pathetic. I think it was very well done. You must remember, they could not copy the cartoon version, but I always thought the cartoons did a great job with the Tolkein songs.
IMO they should have done whatever necessary to acquire the rights to this rendition for the movies. Hobbit nerds would have basically died the second the song started if they used this arrangement
There is a real charm to this version.
Thanks!
it would be better if you added gandalf actually reciting the rest of the poem
People who shat on this movie unnecessarily just dont feel the love of beautiful things lol jk. But on the for real The original songs in this movie carries the message of the fact that our lives are our in our own hands to mold and craft however we see fit ,and that we ourselves are the only the only ones that can make that happen for us. It honestly portays that part of the story even better than the book itself and i stand by that. Its byyyyyy far the best of the three animated films. They obviously put a ton of love and heart into this movie. Plus if my step dad hadnt shown me the animated Hobbit i probably would have never watched jacksons movies or read the books
Not true. I was born in 1982 and this was one of my favorite movies growing up. I love all of the songs in this film and believe that this is the superior version of this song, both in tone and performance.
Bellissima canzone di un film terribilmente sottovalutato
I grew up with the Rankin/Bass Animated Version of The Hobbit. I wish they made an Animated Adaption of The Black Cauldron book from The Chronicles of Prydain Series.
Also, this song reminds me of The Black Cauldron and TALES from EARTHSEA!
Disney did: www.imdb.com/title/tt0088814/?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=amzn_dp_dvd
Disney's Black Cauldron was a real treat, though it sort of mixes the Book of Three and the Black Cauldron together. A good watch that got me right into the books.
@@Gigas0101 Same with me. The Black Cauldron is not only a Classic in my opinion, but also a Masterpiece of Animation
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day
To seek our pale enchanted gold
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep
In hollow halls beneath the fells
For ancient king and elvish lord
There many a gleaming golden hoard
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught
To hide in gems on hilt of sword
On silver necklaces they strung
The flowering stars on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire in twisted wire
They meshed the light of moon and sun
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day
To claim our long-forgotten gold
Goblets they carved there for themselves
And harps of gold, where no man delves
There lay they long, and many a song
Was sung unheard by men or elves
The pines were roaring on the heights
The winds was moaning in the night
The fire was red, it flaming spread
The trees like torches blazed with light
The bells were ringing in the dale
And men looked up with faces pale
The dragon's ire, more fierce than fire
Laid low their towers and houses frail
The mountain smoked beneath the moon
The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom
They fled their hall to dying fall
Beneath his feet, beneath the moon
Far over the misty mountains grim
To dungeons deep and caverns dim
We must away, ere break of day
To win our harps and gold from him
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
This lyrics it wrong with video
Which version is this?
This includes the narration by Gandalf from the original film.
Perfect! Thank you!
Most atmospheric!!
Question:
Why COULDN'T they have bought the rights to the 1977 soundtrack? Seriously. The cost to do that is probably less than one unnecessary shot of Thorin walking in slow motion.
Yeah okay fine, they did a nice version of this song...and sang only two verses of it! They didn't bother with the Elven or Goblin songs at all!
The scrotum beard sang Goblin town didn’t he?
Retro_WrathX13 yes
Musicals are a huge loser at the box office. Nothing turns off an audience faster than a song sequence. There are exceptions but EXTREMELY RARE. Audiences haven't been into songs in movies sinve the 60s and hollywood execs know this
@@RetroWrathX13B He sang it, but you could only really hear the end. The rest was muffled by all the sounds and goblin screeching
They were more concerned with doing their own new thing. That's why it's so different from the source material.
It's also why it's a hot garbage pile.
No disrespect to the version from Jackson's Hobbit movies, but it just doesn't capture the same spirit that this one does. It's too... modern and over-produced. These are supposed to be just average dwarves singing a tune after dinner... it's _supposed_ to sound like a folk song because it _is_ a folk song.
Right u are man. This one is real special. In a way no one can understand unless they've fallen in love with it for themselves.
I love this version, but it's so hard for me to sing. I can see the most recent version with no problem.
The ring wearer, the lucky number.
Curses to the dragon curses to Smaug he killed our men and stole our gold - thorin (1977 the hobbit)
awesome!
Which soundtrack is this from? I have the official OST I bought off of Amazon but the song is shorter than this one.
That's because it's 2 songs.
THE HOBBIT
I think this is more fitting
same here
KJV Bible. Isaiah 27:1
[1]In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
dawjinc that has nothing whatsoever to do with it? I mean seriously...they could have gotten the rights to the old made-for-tv cartoon soundtrack CHEAPER than having a whole new one made. And I happen to think if they had used less money on "eye catching" CGI it would have improved the movie greatly.
Oh no I agree with you, yes they could have done what you said, but that is not what they did. Now a days people look for more visual effects than how a story should be. I read the book(Just recently in fact) I love the songs and poems and character back stories. I was just saying they did a really good movie on the budget they had....Yes they could have put more story in than CGI but most movie watchers want to see action rather than story.
dawjinc
Whereas I think that the very notion of "with the budget they had" is kind of bizarre, considering the budget was staggeringly huge (up to $315,000,000
Once more, lots of things I liked that they took creative license with (including Radagast, elaborating on the Necromancer, etc.) but I feel like they took away too much from the stuff that made the Hobbit what it was.
Peter Deer I was only stating something Jackson said in an interview, "If we had had more funds we could have done more of it by the book" which I would agree they wasted money where they didnt need too "Radagast" and Necromancer, and bringing in Azog as the one "chasing" them, etc. Peter Jackson, I think, read way too far 'between the lines' in the book.
dawjinc I think he made Azog the big bad orc instead of Bolg for another reason because Bolg is in the movie, as Azog's son and chief lieutenant. I think PJ wanted to change it to make Azog a more identifiable villain from the beginning to end (Battle of Moria to the end).
timlamiam - I think that Peter Jackson really didn't want to do the Hobbit.
If he wanted a battle movie, there's plenty of content in the Silmarillion, but good luck getting funds for that.
Not a single dislike
That button is forbidden XD
It's a shame you didnt keep Gandalf's reading of the poem in the song!
You try and make a movie eye catching AND on a budget....
i prefer peter jacksons hobbit movie but i like the darker tone of this song
False. This is the vastly superior Hobbit movie.
In my opinion, the animated adaptations of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings will always be far superior to the Peter Jackson films, to me they’re just so much more beautiful, accurate to the book, and have a true since of adventure that feels nothing short of truly Tolkien
Smaug, the worm of dread, disliked.
The Worm of Dread is slain and DEAD.
And dwarves no more shall suffer wrong!
@@tonimaestre96 and ever so our foes shall fall
Issue is that the movie trilogy was too long. JRRT's story didnt have material for 3 movies. So PJ had to strech it too much adding so many unnecessary stuff. Also CGI look too fairytale-like. It made even the dark and serious scenes too bright and unrealistic.
That version is nice, it's majestic but it's not as great as the movie version. Yes, I like the movie version more, it's sad like Finnish carol.
+KougaTintinFan Believe it or not most of this isn't the song that is sung at Bilbo's house, but rather the song that the dwarves sung when they learned of Smaug's demise in the original book.Hence why they say the worm of dread is slain and dead.
I have to say the newer one is better for me.
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day
To seek the pale enchanted gold
We must away, ere break of day
To win our harps and gold from him
Under the Mountain dark and tall,
The king has come into his hall.
His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread,
And ever so his foes shall fall!
The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong;
The heart is bold that looks on gold;
And dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.
The mountain throne once more is freed!
Oh wandering folk, the summons heed!
Come haste! Come haste! Across the waste!
The king of friend and kin has need.
The King is come unto his hall,
Under the Mountain dark and tall.
The Worm of Dread is slain and dead,
And ever so our foes shall fall!

I saw the animated Hobbit during my teenage years, so when the ridiculous Peter Jackson movies loosely based on "The Hobbit" came out, I found myself expecting that the dwarf's song after dinner at Bilbo's would use this melody. I was rather disappointed with the movie version, which was utterly forgettable.
Of course that's not the only thing about that fiasco that annoyed me. Honestly, "The Hobbit" is shorter than any volume of "The Lord of the Rings," yet Jackson added enough new material to drag out the story for three ludicrous movies and pretty much lost the magic his team achieved in the extended version of "The Lord of the Rings." (The theatrical version has some glaring omissions that are present in the director's cut.)
Jackson should have licensed this music though, since a generation of Hobbit lovers grew up loving it!
You too?! THANK YOU FOR SEEING MUSICAL AND LITERARY REASON!!! :D
Quit yer whining. we have enough of that in this world already
Darn straight, Merlin. The sad thing is I try to get my sister and mother to see this epic story, but there is no way for us to watch the original, so we are forced to watch the PJ version, which drives my sister to tears and literally makes my mother fall asleep. It's that boring and forgettable.
Not to mention 9 hours in a cluttered mess compared to an hour and a half (if I remember correctly) masterpiece. There really is no comparison.
I agree, I like the 1977 version better, because it's short, yet has a sort of magic that PJ's movies doesn't have.
Once upon a time read The Hobbit, the Silmarilian, the Trilogy, and several books about lost tales and Farmer Giles of Ham that even I can't remember.
I think, if memory serves, that some of those old books work their way into Jackson's "Hobbit". I guess my beef with almost all movies is they think they are going to one up a book, and they never do.
A movie and a book are different things, to be sure, but it just seems to me that a truly inspired director could be very faithful to masterpiece literature rather than constantly twisting it inside out and making it always feel a shadow of the work that inspired it.
At least to me.
The cartoons were adequate because they were just that - cartoons. I did not expect much of them, and I was a child. But the movies...?
Still, I watched the hell out of Director's Cut LOTR......
Neil Finn version is better i think.
can someone post the words??
