Far over the Misty Mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day To found our long-forgotten gold The pines were roaring on the heights The wind 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 Far over the Misty Mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day To found our long-forgotten gold
Screw all those "pop stars" promoted by big labels. You and people like you, independent artists, are real stars to me! I bow to your talent. Every upload is absolute pleasure!
@@RachelHardy I heard a few other covers of this, but your is one of the best. I'm thinking it could be overlaid with the Peter Hollens and Tim Faust, to have a Soprano, Tenor and Bass or have you heard their version yet?
@@RachelHardy THIS was your chance to pull off a beard without anyone even raising an eyebrow. You might never get such a good excuse for a beard again. (Which is kinda sad. I would have loved to see a Rachel Beardy.)
Elf doesn’t do her justice, I think Tolkien would describe her as an Elven Maiden. Tolkein's Elves are ethereal, beautiful creatures in touch with both heavenly as well earthly attributes. I also think Tolkien would be amazed to see so many beautiful renditions of his songs. Absolutely beautiful.
Ever since your cover of Toss A Coin to Your Witcher, I have been following your progress with glee. Seeing you progress is such a joy, the hard work you put into your videos really pays off.
You perfectly captured the haunting and mournful quality that makes this piece so powerful. I feel it's best performed when the arrangement is kept simple, and you did exactly that. Absolutely stunning, Rachel!
This is one of those songs that I can't imagine sounding good with female vocals. But that's what I thought about "My mother told me" until Rachel changed my mind on that one, I guess I will realize how wrong I was about this one in a few hours.
@@RyanJuliaWhitney23 Considering that Tolkein referred The Hobbit, LOTR and The Silmarillion from Beowolf, it's not surprising he imagined the accents with a Gaelic lilt. Such would the Dawrves and Elves singing be, but the Hobbit songs have more of an English West Country (Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, with a dash of Welsh - all Celtic) to them.
The genius of a piece when it is written is if it can sound amazing regardless of how it is sung. This is proof of the Genius of JRR Tolkien. Rachel Hardy is clearly a singer of talent. She does justice to this poem.
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, on 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 wind 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 the 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! The wind was on the withered heath But in the forest stirred no leaf There shadows lay be 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 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 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 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 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 The king has come unto his hall Under the Mountain dark and tall The Wyrm of Dread is slain and dead And ever so our foes shall fall Farewell we call to hearth and hall! Though wind may blow and rain may fall We must away, ere break of day Far over the wood and mountain tall To Rivendell, where Elves yet dwell In glades beneath the misty fell Through moor and waste we ride in haste And whither then we cannot tell With foes ahead, behind us dread Beneath the sky shall be our bed Until at last our toil be passed Our journey done, our errand sped We must away! We must away! We ride before the break of day!

Beautifully done. Scary how well you caught the spirit in your singing. I see the dwarfs kneeling with their hands on their swords, tip first in the ground, eyes closed, heads down. It is a solemn song of remembrance.
The voice of a true angel, I can't believe I was lucky enough to stumble across such a magnificent and beautiful sound ❤️ all the best for the future!!
OMG i never believed this song could sound sound so nice with a female voice but you showed that it can and it sounds soooo great, so nice 😍❤️ love your voice 😍😍 thanks for these wonderful few minutes in the morning ^^ greetings
This song sounded really good in the higher notes. I'd love to hear this with you singing and at the same time having that deep baseline. This was awesome ❤
It has been such a joy watching the evolution of such an incredibly talented artist!! Rachel - you never disappoint, and as one of your biggest fans I want you to know your videos are something I truly look forward to! This latest cover is fantastic - thank you so much!!!! 😻😽😸
I love how you've brought through a different pitch to the song but it still has the same emotional tones. It still has the pain and sorrow that made the song from the Hobbit a stand out moment in the hobbit trilogy. Definitely earned the sub.
Love your cover, love the expression in your voice. This version will stay in my head as the version sung by Tauriel, when she thinks on Kili. Thanks once again for a great cover, CHEERS!
I can see the misty mountains when I hear this
It’s like watching a beautiful Elf sing the Dwarven song, with such a lovely voice.
As if the Elves of Rivendell sang a lament to the passing of Thorin Oakenshield.
Goddamn right it is!
gives me the same vibes!
Exactly, what I thought.
Just Rivendell?
Thorin would be lucky to get the Rivendell elves to sing him a song. Dude wasn't famous for his ability to make friends.
Exactly
This was stunning in every way, and I love the arrangement! You look straight out of Rivendell, of course.
Big fan of your channel, thank you for stopping by and for the kind words!
I second Rachel, your channel rocks my world and i try to spread the word of Bardcore everyday!
@@RachelHardy ok
Rachel Hardy well done u smashed this song love it and the Skyrim song u did as well u smashed that as well.
@@RachelHardyyou did well. Keep up the great work. Do you ever think about singing other songs from Lord of the rings ?

Colm, loved your duet with Rachel. Also your channel is excellent. Thanks for all the great music 😊
Are we gonna get a nother duet with Rachel.

Same here, love your channel. Really loved your duet. The contrast of Rachel's and your version of Misty Mountains is amazing.
Why do I do that?

Me too :D
I admit, i did that.

Yup
Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day
To found our long-forgotten gold
The pines were roaring on the heights
The wind 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
Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day
To found our long-forgotten gold

Thank you so much!! I’m glad you are enjoying the music 🙏🏼
I can't list how many better musicians I've found on TH-cam who deserve so much more than actual industry people
you don't have to take down other artists to favor one. I'm just saying it
Bien d'accord avec toi ;)
But then we wouldn't have the songs in the first place. Like Enya Annie Lennox. For these other brilliant artist to sing there songs.
Rachel, don't you ever stop. Please keep going. You are a bright star shinning. You make us happy and you are a joy bringer. D
Sounds like an elf was singing it. Amazing, like other songs.
You don’t think I could pull off a beard?
@@RachelHardy I believe in you Rachel! Lol

Wow, never thinked in my life I could listen an angel singing like that
I closed my eyes and imagined myself in the middle of a forest sitting on a tree and singing this while looking into the sky. You made my day!
Maybe she's a nymph??
Even a siren?
woooooow!!! she has dreamy voice! her voice like an Angel
Ahhh I love Rachel's songs! Especially if it's the middle earth themed 😌
this sounds like one that would play after a major battle and im all for it, love it.
That was... mesmerizing, to say the least.
3 years later and still one of the most beautiful versions I've ever heard
Ever since your cover of Toss A Coin to Your Witcher, I have been following your progress with glee. Seeing you progress is such a joy, the hard work you put into your videos really pays off.
Thanks so much for coming along for the ride!
This voice and the choice of the songs is nothing short of brilliant. Dear Rachel you have a lovely voice. Thank you for singing to us.
Anyone else get chills listening to this? because I sure as hell did! Great cover! I loved it!

I was a little nervous about this one for that reason. I tried to change it up and give it a new vibe, we'll see how it goes over.
This may sound crazy and a very different genre but I think hurt by Johnny cash you would kill an I would love to hear
Natydredd has a Gaelic Scottish accent and it’s incredibly well done.

" She's an Elf. "
No she is an angel
THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!

@@evilsonic9999 lucky bastard!
Congrats brother 👌🏻

My oldest and I love singing this song. One of Tolkien's best songs in all his books
An elf maiden sings a Dwarven song. May the Stars shine upon the hour of our meeting. 😲
Thanks for making this
Girl you made me cry, your voice is pure love.
I'm so addicted to this version!! Absolutely the best!

@@RachelHardy you are most welcome! 😁
You, dear Rachel, are a vocal time traveler...
This is exactly how I imagined a dwarvish song would be like if it was sung by an elf. Loved it!
Beautifully. It gives me the shivers.
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, on 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 wind 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 the 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!
The wind was on the withered heath
But in the forest stirred no leaf
There shadows lay be 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
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 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
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
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
The king has come unto his hall
Under the Mountain dark and tall
The Wyrm of Dread is slain and dead
And ever so our foes shall fall
Farewell we call to hearth and hall!
Though wind may blow and rain may fall
We must away, ere break of day
Far over the wood and mountain tall
To Rivendell, where Elves yet dwell
In glades beneath the misty fell
Through moor and waste we ride in haste
And whither then we cannot tell
With foes ahead, behind us dread
Beneath the sky shall be our bed
Until at last our toil be passed
Our journey done, our errand sped
We must away! We must away!
We ride before the break of day!
I’m gosh I love this
Thanks! I was wondering how the whole song went, wanted to listen to it. Now I think that's a bit too time consuming...
I always look for this kind of comment and I'm happy when I find one so thanks for being that one :)
Wow thank you!
❤
Imagine having her voice in the trailer for the battle of the five armies when the trailer first came out!
she is so good in this... i been hearing for 2 years.. nobody could do a better cover than her.. just amazing.....
Wow this woman has the magical voice of a siren! Beautiful cover and self-harmony!
If Bilbo baggins heard this rn, he would again be inspired to go on the journey😀
Ten times more soothing than any type of sleeping pills...
This is a pure example when pure singing and ASMR collide in an perfect balance.
Rachel, You are truly an angel in every way: music, appearance, presence! More than appreciation! 👋👋👋👋👋
how this can be so beatiful
Love your voice so calm and peaceful
Brings me back to the shores of youth ...
I don't understand why people dislike this. I really don't.
Almost nobody disliked. Only 8 trolls ^^
8 Orcs, that's all.
They cried in joy and missed the button through the tears
@@naomiuchiha0906 that makes sense.
Sauron, Smaug, Azog, Borg, one troll, and three other orcs and possibly Melkor Morgoth, Nazguls, and five more uruk-hais that's all.

This was the best part of the movie, I learned the whole song and love it still to this day with my soul.
One of the few things I truly loved with The Hobbit trilogy. With the golden Smaug. 🙂
Thank you for your great performance of this song. It´s my new favorite song
