Great voice!!! You should really try more "niche" songs like Daughter of the Sea, Tale of the Tongues or We Will Go Home. Your voice would be perfect for it.
I love this collab with Malinda. I hadn't heard of you here in England so I looked at your channel and you have a new subscriber! I love e.g. your cover of Scarborough Fair! th-cam.com/video/OSWRv0XAhcg/w-d-xo.html
"I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil" The very thought these two great singers had covers this song nearly brought tears to my eyes!
My father passed away on September 2nd 2024. Rest in peace dad. I love you so much. Listening to this beautiful song gives me hope that he just moved to another plane of existence. I will meet him again.
I am very sorry for your loss. My Dad went home in November 2018. I am convinced that when our journeys end, we'll hear our Dads calling our names again like it's time to come in from playing outside. Just wait ♥
My dad will be going very soon, after a short but aggressive battle with cancer. My heart aches for your loss. My dad is my very favorite person. I hope we see our dads again, healthy and whole, as they would want to be 💜
My Uncle Steven passed away suddenly August 22nd 2023. He will be forever missed and loved-we adored our uncle! We live on a farm and our Uncle would come often through out the year to visit for a few days. (He lived a few states away). He played the guitar and sang often for us kids. Uncle Steven and I would sit under the great pine trees of our woods and write poetry together. We'd take walks under the full moon for inspiration, gaze at the stars with my siblings, laugh and wade in the creek. He and I would talk for hours about Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. He loved LOTR- he is the reason I love the fantasy worlds of Middle Earth and Narnia! When he fell asleep in Jesus, that night I stood outside, looked to the heavens and sang this song for him. Thank you Malinda and Rachel for the most ethereal cover of this song. You both did this beautiful song justice and you have the voice of Angels.
My gf introduced me to this lovely song and reacquainted with the incomparable Ms.Lennox, whom I hadn't heard since her "walking on broken glass" days...this song gets me thinking of her when we're apart... Your version of this song is almost as inspiring as my beloved😊 Beautiful work, well done to you both👍
Thank you for sharing this simple little thought. It alone made me nearly start crying while I listened too the song. Hope you’re doing well, and I wish you a good day
I chose this for my mothers funeral, which was a few months after the song released, both for the meaning and because she loved Annie Lennox. This is an absolutely phenomenal cover, you captured all the power and majesty of the original. 19 years later and the song still hits the emotions hard.
Whatever rendition I hear, this song never fails to bring me back to the 12 year old boy sitting next to his dad on opening night of the Return of the King, processing his feelings at the journey he had spent 3 years invested in. I still return to the trilogy quite a lot. Excellent cover!
Those years were truly special, I feel very lucky to have been 15 by the time the ROTK was in cinemas. Four years earlier I had been gifted a book called "The Hobbit", a year later and I had read all of LOTR, was making my own 'elvish' language and started on The Silmarillion... and then the first movie came out and the adventure began all over again. What a time it was indeed.
I sing this song to my son when he's upset and won't go to sleep. I can't express how much I love it. Malinda's voice makes for such a change from Annie Lennox's version. They are both gorgeous.
OMG, I am crying from this. My wife and I loved these movies, and she loved this song. What's more, your voices are very similar to hers, so it takes a little of the sting out of her passing. Thank you so much, Malinda.
@@Sony_75 I'm not sure what you're asking? Mortal coil is a term Shakespeare used to talk about dying. He used it in Hamlet's To Be or Not To Be soliloquy "shuffle off this mortal coil" to refer to dying. I meant that I wanted my son to use this song at my funeral. The idea of going into the West and "just sleeping" pleases me..
I am so sorry for your loss but glad you have heard beauty that removes some pain. I lost my wife young as well. I also listen for beauty in song to salve the pain. Peace to you.
Mandy Philips, she doesn't have the weight to the song.Let me and other people listen to you sing it, I guess you can do better ! And don't forget, PICKERS CAN'T BE CHOOSIE !
Maybe someday I will be able to listen to this song without weeping, but today is not that day. Thank you for this beautiful and haunting cover of a beautiful, haunting song.
Who said grown men don't cry? Well I am very grown and I am in tears. Call me what you like, BUT I have choosen the song I want sung at my funeral and it will be by these two angels. I pray to GOD for more time, but we never know and no matter if it's from 20 yrs (I pray), I want this version. WOW
This was the song I used at my son’s funeral. Can’t ever listen to it without completely breaking down… This is an incredible version. Please keep doing what you’re doing!
Un tuffo al cuore. Tuo figlio vive nei tuoi pensieri evocati da queste meravigliose canzoni 🥰 Heartbreak. Your child is alive in your thoughts evoked by these wonderful songs
Memories of my childhood... of my baby brother. I don't know how long I've needed this cry, but thank you both for such a beautiful cover! Rest in peace, Nikki; we'll meet again.
Lost my sister to cancer a few years ago, this song hits really hard. ❤ Thank you for this. Even though it's years later, I'll be playing this on her birthday.
This song is wonderful. I had it played at my wife's funeral service. She loved that song as did I. It is sad yet also joyous. I never tire of hearing its plaintive melody and lyrics. These ladies do it justice with their clear and melodious rendition of it. Thank you ladies for singing this song.
I lost my dad to lung cancer in 2017 and every time I hear this song I think of him and cry. He loved LotR. After his passing we read a poem about the ships sailing away from our plain to the shores of the afterlife. Great work you two
Somehow I'd never heard this version until now. Okay, TH-cam, your recommendation algorithm was SPOT ON. This is by far the most stunning version of this song I've ever heard, and this from someone who spends a ridiculous amount of time listening to the extended soundtracks for all three LOTR movies. I'm just amazed at how beautiful this sounds. Thank you Malinda and Rachel!
@Malinda , ohh my dearest Lady. You have touched my heart. This song is one of the ones that so reminds me of my youngest daughter Sara who was 8 yrs young when she was touched by Gods loving hand and taken home over 17 yrs ago. But her golden hair and shining light blue eyes that mached the Ray's of the sun through the clouds, still is ever present in my minds eye. As I sing this song to her memory I see her playing on the swings, giggling and laughing w her sisters. Thank you, thank you for assisting me in seeing my daughter again, even if for a moment. 🎵💙🎵🌸
I absolutely adore your facial expression when you are singing... you surely are in your happy space when you are singing... makes me also happy just watching. Been a fan since your church video and will follow all your content
This is the song I’ve been singing to my kids at bedtime for years. For some reason hearing this version felt like friends were singing it to me, and it helped me feel less alone as I try to get my newborn back to sleep ❤️
This song still makes me tear up so much, LOTR has always been my favorite series for books and movies (including the 1900's animated ones). When my grandma was dying in the hospital, she was too far away for me and my parents to travel to her. So, I played this song on my tenor saxophone for her through a video call. I spent most of my childhood at her apartment, her babysitting me when I was young, helping me learn and improve my saxophone skills, was the inspiration for so many of my hobbies. One of my favorite things as a kid was to read the LOTR and Hobbit series while sitting next to her. And then through middle (junior high) and high school, I would play my saxophone by her. So, anytime I hear this song I just think of her and my childhood. It just makes me smile and tear up every time, remembering all the good memories I had with her. In a way, I can't wait till my day comes to go Sail Into the West and see her again.
My gramps passed into the West today, and often have I played this song in recent days knowing he would do so. This helps bring solace and some peace to mind as he departs. Thank you to both of you for chucking this beautiful take on Annie Lennox’s song so that I may think of him always now.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my final grandparent in October and my cousin not a month after. May manwë guide you to your grandfather when it is time
The best version of into the west by far:) Malinda is dreamy and sings the most beautiful rendition with such control, luscious tone with wonderous empathy to the song's gracious lyrics of what it is like to experience the elves eternal sleep into the west. Rachel also brings you into the world of elves regarding death and afterlife with her gift transporting you into the world she is singing about. One of my favorite songs and favorite renditions forever. It makes the end of all of our journey optimistically last forever and ever here "in my arms". Thank you ladies from the bottom of my heart to you.
Fantastic job to both of you. That was fantastic. Thank you for sharing the entire thing with us. I couldn’t have asked to hear anything more beautiful.
It’s currently 10:30 pm when I’m listening to this song and I have work very early in the morning and then Malinda : “ sleep now “ THE TIMING COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER REALY REALLY ENJOYED THIS SONG KEEP IT UP 😇
Marvelous rendition ladies. I could listen to it on loop and never tire. As a veteran and a lover of history, this song makes me think of a poor lad breathing his last on a distant green field, pock-marked by shell holes and enshrouded by smoke. He is seeing beyond the veil of this temporary life into the far green fields and white shores of the other reality. Theoden spoke of going to the hall of his fathers where he would not be ashamed; same for the lad in my imagination. Heaven for me,something else for others.
There is something absolutely soothing about a meaningful message sang in ethereal tones by talented female voices. Especially to males. Not exactly my style of music but I’m glad I stumbled upon this, it absolutely grabbed my attention and brought forth a feeling of comfort and peace with a tinge of longing, or deep sorrow or both that I didn’t even know existed inside of me. What in the world did you just do to me?!
The grey ships came and took my father after 2 years of fighting cancer....hes sleeping now on the white shore's waiting for me to be reunited in the far west....i miss u baba very much my dearest friend.....i will try my best to sail this life until i reach you.....
This was the most beautiful and relaxing song I’ve heard in awhile. Very peaceful. Soothing and calm. Thank you so much for this duet. Wishing you love, peace and soul. ❤️🕊😇
What an utterly beautiful duet. You two infuse Annie Lennox’ wonderful song with such strong emotions, it made me tear up. Thank you, lovely ladies! 🙏🏼❤️
My mom _loved_ the LOTR movies. The extended versions were never not playing in the background at her place, if she wasn't actively watching something else. She adored the closing title to ROTK more than any other, and used to ask me to learn it so I could sing it for her, that she thought my voice would be perfect for it. I always said I would learn it, but it was a hard one and I had other things I was focused on then. And then she died at age 56, just a couple of weeks before the extended release version of ROTK came out, and I never got to sing it for her. I did learn it, though. I spent two weeks listening to it on repeat and crying, until I could make it through the song without dissolving entirely into sobs, and on the first anniversary of her passing, I lit a candle for her and I sang this. I hope she heard me and was as pleased as she always thought she would be with it. I still can't listen to the song without crying, though. Sometimes I can sing through the tears, but they are always there.
Malinda sings with a light touch, as though her body were always floating - a voice that is especially great to combine with more earthy ones. Love this.
I feel like I've endured the greatest most strenuous journey and have come to the end, feeling weary and drained. When suddenly a magical being telling me it's done now, rest. You have come home at last 🥲
Wow! Just wow!!! This gave my goosebumps places I didnt know I could get goosebumps! This is one of my favorite songs, and when you also get Rachel to be a part of it, this just gets better! Thank you both for this incredible version of one of the best song ever written!
Darn you TH-cam for not having a nuclear 'Like' button...this rendition is simply next level outstanding! Kudos to Malinda and Rachel for making this work of art!
Wow. This, was, amazing!! The vocals are incredible, your collaborative voices in harmony with each other, fitting like a puzzle… Truly a work of art, from another work of art. Well done! Please keep collaborating, you two are so talented!
This is one of my favourite songs off lord of the rings Malinda and I recently had this played at my father’s funeral and he loved this track and the movies . I’m positive he would of loved your rendition it’s beautifully sung by you and you have a amazing gifted talent and you rock 🖤
I hope to play this song, this version, at my wife's - the love of my life for 50 years- at her funeral. She caught early, premature, Alzheimer's & now covid-19,... . She recovered from covid, but is failing more. Soon, we will be playing this song for her.
I'm not ashamed to admit this had me tearing up, and quite misty eyed. Thank you for the most lovely rendition of this song I've heard. 3:19 Even the elves of Middle-Earth would be weeping at the beauty of your voices harmonizing here.
👏👏👏Oh Malinda, what a joy! I got to learn _tougher_ English thanks to this incredible song after playing Return of the King's CD over and over again, almost 20 years ago now. LOTR is forever linked to summer evenings for me, so I'm glad this song popped up while I was enjoying a big fat dulce de leche ice-cream , to keep up the tradition😁. A huge *thank you!*for your beautiful art and greetings from Argentina.
My daughter loves your songs. When she is having a hard time falling asleep we will play one of song and she calm down and sleep. Thank you sharing your wonderful voice.
Literal tears from how beautiful this is. Always been over of the most emotionally strengthening songs but they richness of your two voices elevated it to a new level. Whenever I need music to bring me back from the depths during those times of struggle we all have, this will be a go to... Thank you
One of my best friends took his life and left me without a word. I've been grieving his loss for as long as I can remember, but this cover the gorgeous harmony of both your voices has brought me so much comfort. The tears I wept were tears of fond memories. Of a bittersweet ending. Thank you. ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss. When you take your life you are only aware of your own pain, not the pain your loss will cause to others. I made a serious attempt on my life, but by a miracle God kept me on this earth. When I recovered I realised what my loss would have done to my loved ones and it changed my attitude for good.
Lay down Your sweet and weary head The night is falling You have come to journey's end Sleep now And dream of the ones who came before They are calling From across the distant shore Why do you weep? What are these tears upon your face? Soon you will see All of your fears will pass away Safe in my arms You're only sleeping What can you see On the horizon? Why do the white gulls call? Across the sea A pale moon rises The ships have come to carry you home And all will turn To silver glass A light on the water All Souls pass Hope fades Into the world of night Through shadows falling Out of memory and time Don't say We have come now to the end White shores are calling You and I will meet again And you'll be here in my arms Just sleeping And all will turn To silver glass A light on the water Grey ships pass Into the West
Malinda, you have absolutely smashed this one out of the park. This is one of my favourite songs of all time and your cover was so good it brought me to tears. Thank you so much for your art, you truly do bring joy to so many people.
"My friends, you bow to no one." 💖 I have heard this song through many composers over the years, but this one is by far the best! Literally brought tears to my eyes to the angelic sound of your voices combined 🥰 And this is coming from a true die-hard LotR fan
Guess I commented already on a copy of this video here on youtube. It is by far one of my favourite songs anywhere. I love so much music from somany genres, throughout the ages, but this is the pinnacle of a captivating, beautiful, moving song. At 68, I have tears like a child.
I love your rendition of this song. You should cover more of the LOTR and The Hobbit songs. This song brings peace and joy. Particularly for someone who has recently lost a loved one. May God bless you.
Hey friends :). I'll make this track downloadable from my Patreon if you want to listen to it forever!

Wow - you two knocked this out of the park!
I might have to have it played at my funeral - hopefully not for a while though! 😀
Great voice!!! You should really try more "niche" songs like Daughter of the Sea, Tale of the Tongues or We Will Go Home. Your voice would be perfect for it.
This is beautiful! Do you think you could make a video with lyrics on it? Or maybe put the lyrics in the description, please?
Omg ladies, you have all of my gratitude! Thanks for singing this song so beautifully.
Can you put this on Amazon Music?

Love this! complete chills throughout the entire thing. well done ladies
There MUST NOT HAVE BEEN a dry eye in the recording studio during this performance. Absolutely soul-rending, heart-melting.

Fantastic idea - I've been singing Groban's Lullaby and it's getting old for me. This definitely makes a good lullaby.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, flawlessly rendered by the most beautiful voice of this generation.
If I ever need to cry, I just come here and listen to this. It always brings out all the emotions.

My gramps passed into the West today, and often have I played this song in recent days knowing he would do so. This helps bring solace and some peace to mind as he departs. Thank you to both of you for chucking this beautiful take on Annie Lennox’s song so that I may think of him always now.
Sympathy, & you are smart to attatch this beautiful dong to the memories of him. Some music, like this, really helps!
@Captain Peyton Busybeard I am so sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my final grandparent in October and my cousin not a month after. May manwë guide you to your grandfather when it is time
This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard, your voices are as if coming from heaven. In tears every time I lessen to it.
The best version of into the west by far:) Malinda is dreamy and sings the most beautiful rendition with such control, luscious tone with wonderous empathy to the song's gracious lyrics of what it is like to experience the elves eternal sleep into the west. Rachel also brings you into the world of elves regarding death and afterlife with her gift transporting you into the world she is singing about. One of my favorite songs and favorite renditions forever. It makes the end of all of our journey optimistically last forever and ever here "in my arms". Thank you ladies from the bottom of my heart to you.
Fantastic job to both of you. That was fantastic. Thank you for sharing the entire thing with us. I couldn’t have asked to hear anything more beautiful.
Beautiful version... I was crying like a baby. Thank you for the experience, amazing singers. Love you, Malinda
It’s currently 10:30 pm when I’m listening to this song and I have work very early in the morning and then
Malinda : “ sleep now “
THE TIMING COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER REALY REALLY ENJOYED THIS SONG KEEP IT UP 😇
Marvelous rendition ladies. I could listen to it on loop and never tire.
As a veteran and a lover of history, this song makes me think of a poor lad breathing his last on a distant green field, pock-marked by shell holes and enshrouded by smoke. He is seeing beyond the veil of this temporary life into the far green fields and white shores of the other reality. Theoden spoke of going to the hall of his fathers where he would not be ashamed; same for the lad in my imagination.
Heaven for me,something else for others.
There is something absolutely soothing about a meaningful message sang in ethereal tones by talented female voices. Especially to males. Not exactly my style of music but I’m glad I stumbled upon this, it absolutely grabbed my attention and brought forth a feeling of comfort and peace with a tinge of longing, or deep sorrow or both that I didn’t even know existed inside of me. What in the world did you just do to me?!
Agreed joy and sorrow, peace and longing; and that flute just racks up the ante.
I'm a grown man, but you made me cry like a child. Thank you, Malinda and Rachel.
The grey ships came and took my father after 2 years of fighting cancer....hes sleeping now on the white shore's waiting for me to be reunited in the far west....i miss u baba very much my dearest friend.....i will try my best to sail this life until i reach you.....
This was the most beautiful and relaxing song I’ve heard in awhile. Very peaceful. Soothing and calm. Thank you so much for this duet. Wishing you love, peace and soul. ❤️🕊😇

What an utterly beautiful duet. You two infuse Annie Lennox’ wonderful song with such strong emotions, it made me tear up. Thank you, lovely ladies! 🙏🏼❤️
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎❣️
I got chills when both of the ladies came in together on the song, the cover of this song was done so well, great job.

My mom _loved_ the LOTR movies. The extended versions were never not playing in the background at her place, if she wasn't actively watching something else. She adored the closing title to ROTK more than any other, and used to ask me to learn it so I could sing it for her, that she thought my voice would be perfect for it. I always said I would learn it, but it was a hard one and I had other things I was focused on then. And then she died at age 56, just a couple of weeks before the extended release version of ROTK came out, and I never got to sing it for her.
I did learn it, though. I spent two weeks listening to it on repeat and crying, until I could make it through the song without dissolving entirely into sobs, and on the first anniversary of her passing, I lit a candle for her and I sang this. I hope she heard me and was as pleased as she always thought she would be with it.
I still can't listen to the song without crying, though. Sometimes I can sing through the tears, but they are always there.
❤️🌹❤️🌹
Seriously, your music needs to be in feature films. I consider this cover better than the original. Your harmony is AMAZING!
Malinda sings with a light touch, as though her body were always floating - a voice that is especially great to combine with more earthy ones. Love this.
Oh god, I'm crying. One of the loveliest songs on earth. Performed magically. I'm really crying, and the kids don't know why. 😊
I feel like I've endured the greatest most strenuous journey and have come to the end, feeling weary and drained. When suddenly a magical being telling me it's done now, rest. You have come home at last 🥲
lt is so touchingly beautiful in the lyrics and the beautiful ladies' voice, too. Thank you. 💚💐💐🙏🕊
This song will never fail to be magnificent.
This song always brings me to tears, and the two of you do such a wonderful cover.
Why do I weep? What are these tears upon my face? It's me taking in all the beauty of this song.
Wow! Just wow!!! This gave my goosebumps places I didnt know I could get goosebumps! This is one of my favorite songs, and when you also get Rachel to be a part of it, this just gets better! Thank you both for this incredible version of one of the best song ever written!
I sang this song to my children when they were babies... hearing two of my favourite singers do a version of what is already a great song.. 👌
Darn you TH-cam for not having a nuclear 'Like' button...this rendition is simply next level outstanding! Kudos to Malinda and Rachel for making this work of art!
Wow.
This, was, amazing!!
The vocals are incredible, your collaborative voices in harmony with each other, fitting like a puzzle…
Truly a work of art, from another work of art.
Well done!
Please keep collaborating, you two are so talented!
This is one of my favourite songs off lord of the rings Malinda and I recently had this played at my father’s funeral and he loved this track and the movies . I’m positive he would of loved your rendition it’s beautifully sung by you and you have a amazing gifted talent and you rock 🖤
I hope to play this song, this version, at my wife's - the love of my life for 50 years- at her funeral. She caught early, premature, Alzheimer's & now covid-19,... . She recovered from covid, but is failing more. Soon, we will be playing this song for her.
Have faith my friend
I'm not ashamed to admit this had me tearing up, and quite misty eyed. Thank you for the most lovely rendition of this song I've heard. 3:19 Even the elves of Middle-Earth would be weeping at the beauty of your voices harmonizing here.
You nailed it. It is not just about the voice, it is the expression you have. Your performance matches exactly the emotions I feel
👏👏👏Oh Malinda, what a joy! I got to learn _tougher_ English thanks to this incredible song after playing Return of the King's CD over and over again, almost 20 years ago now. LOTR is forever linked to summer evenings for me, so I'm glad this song popped up while I was enjoying a big fat dulce de leche ice-cream , to keep up the tradition😁. A huge *thank you!*for your beautiful art and greetings from Argentina.
Such a beautiful voice, The sound of a angel, God has given to a gift, Thanks for sharing with us.
Geez that chorus always hits me like a wave! Absolutely sobbing. So beautiful❤️
My daughter loves your songs. When she is having a hard time falling asleep we will play one of song and she calm down and sleep. Thank you sharing your wonderful voice.
That was absolutely lovely. Your voices blend so well together. Thank you for introducing me to Rachel
Wow. Just Wow! Simply stunning. Thank you!
Cannot get though this without tears in my eyes because that is how beautiful this is. Thank You.
This song always makes me cry at the end of a LOTR binge, and you all did it beautifully!!! ♥️♥️♥️
The more I hear Irish music, the more I believe it to be the most emotional music ever created!!! Amazing.
It is very beautiful, but Indian music is also very beautiful.
Literal tears from how beautiful this is. Always been over of the most emotionally strengthening songs but they richness of your two voices elevated it to a new level. Whenever I need music to bring me back from the depths during those times of struggle we all have, this will be a go to... Thank you
nice,check this out too: th-cam.com/video/Ww3zGcl6JQk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=StephanieBarbara
It's beautiful, your voices are perfect for this song, so peaceful, I can just close my eyes and feel peaceful and relaxed. ❤😊
I’ve watched this about a dozen times. Every time I get to the harmonizing section I tear up. Thank you both
There are not enough adjectives to describe this. Fantastic, Incredible, Beautiful, they all just seem inadequate. This is completely breathtaking!!
Ok, Malinda, you've done it. This song makes me cry a lot, and your cover moved me so much. So yeah, this is amazing to me.

One of my best friends took his life and left me without a word. I've been grieving his loss for as long as I can remember, but this cover the gorgeous harmony of both your voices has brought me so much comfort. The tears I wept were tears of fond memories. Of a bittersweet ending. Thank you. ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss. When you take your life you are only aware of your own pain, not the pain your loss will cause to others. I made a serious attempt on my life, but by a miracle God kept me on this earth. When I recovered I realised what my loss would have done to my loved ones and it changed my attitude for good.
Thank you, that was awesome. Beautiful voices, beautiful ladies. Angels smile upon your gift to us!
Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
The night is falling
You have come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
All Souls pass
Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again
And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
Oh my god, I literally just heard the first two notes and already liked, absolutely gorgeous!
WHOA THOSE HIGH NOTES I'M SPEECHLESS

Malinda, you have absolutely smashed this one out of the park. This is one of my favourite songs of all time and your cover was so good it brought me to tears. Thank you so much for your art, you truly do bring joy to so many people.
I wondered when this collaboration would finally happen.
And of course I am singing along with both of you.
I felt a chill in my spine while listening to this. Beautiful voices and great harmony.
My goodness, this really got me to tear up. What a wonderfull choice of music for your two gorgeous voices. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this.
"My friends, you bow to no one." 💖 I have heard this song through many composers over the years, but this one is by far the best! Literally brought tears to my eyes to the angelic sound of your voices combined 🥰 And this is coming from a true die-hard LotR fan
Best version ever; no shouting. It really flows beautifully.
This woman is a musical banquet.
Gorgeous inside and out.
Two amazing ladies. I will never get tired of hearing this wonderful version. Well done and thank you!!
Guess I commented already on a copy of this video here on youtube. It is by far one of my favourite songs anywhere. I love so much music from somany genres, throughout the ages, but this is the pinnacle of a captivating, beautiful, moving song. At 68, I have tears like a child.
Still deeply touched. Must have played this prbly a hundred times if not more.
I started this video for a background track while packing to go to college. . . Now I have Chills and I'm Sobbing
This is So Good❤
I love your rendition of this song. You should cover more of the LOTR and The Hobbit songs. This song brings peace and joy. Particularly for someone who has recently lost a loved one. May God bless you.
This is maybe the most beautiful song ever written😊And your rendition is absolutely spot on. 😊
WOW! What beautiful music. My goodness, I am so thankful I found you.two. Blessing here
