Oh man!! You NEED to see the trilogy, if not just for its soundtrack. THE greatest score ever composed for film, and I don't think thats an controversial take at all.
Honestly the only trilogy that, in my opinion, holds up to the greatness of the books. Not saying it’s better, but it’s just as acceptable if someone wants to get into LOTR to watch the movies rather than read the books
@@JesperVille It's a testament to the greatness of Tolkien, the film genius of Peter Jackson, and the power of Howard Shore's score - that despite butchering the books and missing exactly all of its most important themes, its still one of the best movies, movie trilogies, of all time.
Oh, Geebz. You just dropped a nostalgia bomb for so many people. I wish I could rewatch the whole LOTR and Hobbit films again like it was the first time. I want to feel the awe, the amazement, the wonder again. There’s so many beautiful scores you can react to from these masterpiece films.
The nature of LotR's soundtrack and what Howard Shore did with it makes it so that you really can't just listen to a song in a vacuum. Shore builds themes for various places and characters, each one has their own, and then he purposefully weaves them in and out of compositions in order to achieve a desired effect and emotions. On its own this track is great. Within context of the trilogy it's even greater because it ends the story. But within the context of the soundtrack itself it's greater still because it includes within it at least 3 separate musical themes which were used previously: The Fellowship and the Shire can both be heard here and they matter a lot because they were present throughout the trilogy. Then at the end can be heard "Into the West" which was teased previously during a somber scene which almost predicts the ending in a way. Shore does this occasionally and, even though I am an amateur when it comes to music, I'd say he does it masterfully. Great example of this is what he does with the Gondor's main theme throughout the trilogy, how he starts it off, slowly builds it up, and how he makes it explode later on during a key scene.
Had an honor of seeing this film on the big screen a few weeks back. It was a magical experience. When we got to the end I was weeping like a child. This music does something to me that is beyond words. Loved hearing what you had to say. And to add to that, even if you never watch these films, please listen to the full scores to these films. The genius of Howard Shore CANNOT be understated. What he produced can't have been from this world.
Side note: Lord of the rings uses a lot of leitmotifs that are reused throughout the film, so to get the full experience of the music you’d have to watch the film to understand the use of the leitmotifs
This part of the score hits much harder afer listening to the individual themes throughout the movies, as this brings a closure to each of those themes.
i pretty much listen to the extended soundtrack to fellowship on repeat whenever im reading anything. theres so many moments where you know exactly whats happening in the movie just from the soundtrack. Howard Shore was an absolute unit on this.
The Lord of the Rings films are some of the few that can consistently make me bawl huge man tears, and this music in Return of the King (every time it appears, be it during this scene, Pippin and Gandalf's conversation, or "I CAN CARRY YOU!!") is a huge reason for that. Long live Howard Shore!
God, this trilogy is just a masterpiece. Beyond a masterpiece. Everything about it is so good. So epic, and beautiful, and suspenseful, and wondrous and so many many more things. I'll be saying this until the day I die, and it still won't be enough. The soft Shire theme never fails to bring a nostalgic tear to my eye
This is one of the final songs of the movie, sir. ^_^ So it has quite a few scores wound up in it. I highly recommend the movies as well as their soundtracks. The music is absolutely breathtaking. So many songs from LOTRs bring such nostalgia. One of the most moving for me is The Ride of the Rohirrim. The song for the credits of this movie (in which the 'refrain' of The Grey Havens is played) is sung by Annie Lennox and titled "Into the West".
"The last pages are for you, Sam" or "'I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil" I saw sooo many time this trilogy - and I'm crying NOW just because of the OST :)
I get why you thought this sounds like a positive awakening, but its mor like coming home from a long, hard and difficult time…the peace you feel in this very moment. Especially with the old/previously used melodies they used in this arrangement.
This composer just casually dropping he hasn't experienced the musical BLISS that is Howard Shores score to Lord of the Rings and the BLISS of lore that Tolkien created? I'm pushing for a full Trilogy reaction here.
This is such an excellent track, but it's appreciated even more when you recognize the leitmotifs from throughout the series and how they're reimagined here. A total masterpiece.
There's a reason the soundtracks for these movies won 3 Academy Awards, 3 Golden Globes, and 4 Grammies. What Howard Shore did on those movies is all-time classic level stuff. Movie soundtracks don't get much better than that. If you want to do more from these, "Concerning Hobbits" and "The King of the Golden Hall" are two personal favorites. And of course all the end-credits ballads with guest vocalists, like Enya and Annie Lennox, will just rip your guts out.
Broooooooo, you’ve never seen it?! You absolutely need to watch these movies and listen through the entire soundtrack! Best film trilogy ever created and best film score ever created hands down! Possibly THE most complex example of leit motif with various orchestrations and insane level of interweaving, an S tier masterclass in almost every regard
Maybe it sounds like John Williams because it also sounds like Gustav Holst's Jupiter and Star Wars soundtrack sounds like the planets, even using it as a stand in score.
I you haven't seen the Lord of the Rings, you have to! It's so good! The music is the masterpieces of all masterpieces! Recommend the extended versions
Love your videos Geebz! I'd love a reaction to the artist Yves Tumor. Songs like "Heaven Surrounds Us Like a Hood", "Kerosene", or "Gospel for a New Century". The music is very unique and refreshing to hear, I'd love to hear your take on it!
I love, love, love original scores for movies. Sometimes I feel it's a little pandering towards viewers as to when to cry, but either way you can not deny the emotional impact.
If you haven't seen the movies... man, if it got to you without you knowing the themes used, then you'll be a wreck after watching the whole thing and hearing this again
Oh man, just found your channel, fantastic stuff! You have gotta listen to the Lego City Undercover soundtrack! You wouldn’t think much of it just from looking at it but some of that music is astounding. “Falling to Earth” will literally give you goosebumps. “Yoshi’s BGMs” managed to get ahold of some studio quality tracks, it’s really something special.
Could I have a suggestion too? Far Cry Blood Dragon and Modern Warfare 2019 OSTs. Blood Dragon is an absolute parody of 80s and 90s stuff. VHS tapes, retro future, neons and lasers, cyborgs, hollywood action heroes. It's really cool and lighthearted and the energetic synthwave OST matches it perfectly. Even some of the motives in that music are parodies of known things like the Terminator soundtrack. MW2019 is like the polar opposite. The game takes place in a fictional Middle East country where local freedom fighters fight a brutal occupation regime put in place by Russians (Afghan/Chechnya style). The Russians don't shy away from using gas or phosphor bombs on the population. Meanwhile the British special forces sent to help the freedom fighters don't pull their punches either and are brutally efficient and morally grey. Once again the OST matches the in-game story perfectly. Only this time it's not lighthearted synthwave anymore. The OST is dripping with dread, yet it's quite clever and creative and covers both the action sequences and the slow lore filled sections of the game perfectly.
I hope he has heard the "Hobbit Theme" (not sure if that's the name), but I feel this one is really meant to be listened to after, at the end. It hints to the theme and I feel like this one doesn't quite make complete sense without that context.
A recommendation of a vid-game soundtrack for you, well, two, actually. Both are for one character but in different formats. One is in the old GBA MIDI format; the other is its remake versions. It's name? _Sensei's Theme_ in all its Jazzy glory. [now that I said it, Advance Wars fans are going to come out of the comments either liking this post to high heaven or complaining that I didn't recommend the other COs]
You need to give the ost from ‘cave story’ a listen specifically the track ‘geothermal’ super cool game with an awesome soundtrack all made by one person.
If you haven't seen it I highly recomend it start with the Fellowship of the ring, the two towers than return of the king but to be honest the return of the king is my favorite out of the trilogy
One thing I'll say is the 'music' was one of the few highlight of the latest Lord of the Rings tv show... nearly matches the quality of the movies imo.
"And then you see it. White shores, and beyond" Aand im tearing up. I think im quite ready for another marathon
"I will not say 'do not weep' for not all tears are an evil."
Oh man!! You NEED to see the trilogy, if not just for its soundtrack. THE greatest score ever composed for film, and I don't think thats an controversial take at all.
you NEED to see this trilogy, one of if not the best in history honestly!
Seconded! It's so good!
Honestly the only trilogy that, in my opinion, holds up to the greatness of the books. Not saying it’s better, but it’s just as acceptable if someone wants to get into LOTR to watch the movies rather than read the books

one does not simply miss out on this trilogy

Best trilogy of all time. No doubt in my mind.

Oh man, gotta do a full watch through of the full trilogy, and then a second watch focusing on the music. This is as good as it gets right here.
Had an honor of seeing this film on the big screen a few weeks back. It was a magical experience. When we got to the end I was weeping like a child. This music does something to me that is beyond words. Loved hearing what you had to say.

It's crazy how Geebz can describe the scene in which this plays just by understanding the music, even without having watched the movie. Brilliant.

How have you NOT seen the Lord of the Rings? You HAVE GOT TO SEE THEM!! Also Concerning Hobbits should be next. Do all of it!!!

The lord of the rings movies will never die. They are just truly amazing. Just everything about them is amazing. If you havnt seen them. WATCH THEM!
My god, watch whole trilogy. Amazing journey. Thanks for this reaction. That was calm and soft.
My favourite movie soundtrack ever. If you don't have time for the movies, at least give the soundtrack a listen, it's absolutely beautiful
"The last pages are for you, Sam" or "'I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil"

The flutist here is Sir James Galway, perhaps the greatest flutist of his generation.
This soundtrack is so good, but even better when watching the movie as it plays in the background. Beautiful piece by Howard Shore
Howard shore is a legend!
"I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil"
I cry. You cry? ❤
YES I’m so excited you’re reacting to film music, I absolutely love the lotr soundtrack
Broooooooo, you’ve never seen it?! You absolutely need to watch these movies and listen through the entire soundtrack! Best film trilogy ever created and best film score ever created hands down! Possibly THE most complex example of leit motif with various orchestrations and insane level of interweaving, an S tier masterclass in almost every regard
Such an amazing movie trilogy, the music is bangin'
Maybe it sounds like John Williams because it also sounds like Gustav Holst's Jupiter and Star Wars soundtrack sounds like the planets, even using it as a stand in score.
mr galway was always an inspiration to me as a beginner flutist , thanks for reacting to this!
Wild to think this is the same composer who did The Silence of the Lambs. ¡Qué brillante!
I you haven't seen the Lord of the Rings, you have to! It's so good! The music is the masterpieces of all masterpieces! Recommend the extended versions
My favorite movie trilogy ever. Also has a outstanding ost.
You MUST react to MORE Lord of the Rings music!
Love your videos Geebz!
I'd love a reaction to the artist Yves Tumor. Songs like "Heaven Surrounds Us Like a Hood", "Kerosene", or "Gospel for a New Century". The music is very unique and refreshing to hear, I'd love to hear your take on it!
Howard Shore did it again... here I am... sitting in my chair... listening to his music... tears in my eyes
I love, love, love original scores for movies. Sometimes I feel it's a little pandering towards viewers as to when to cry, but either way you can not deny the emotional impact.
i miss such powerful mesmerizing sound, nowadays it seems everything is dumped down generic and soulless
Yea or they just use popular songs, it gets more theater seats
A modern movie with great original sound was revenant!
as smeone named after LOTR, always a great pleasure to see people enjoying it in any form
If you haven't seen the movies... man, if it got to you without you knowing the themes used, then you'll be a wreck after watching the whole thing and hearing this again
I watched the og extended trilogy at least 10 times back in the day. So emotional!!!
I still watch them yearly
@@I_Am_Bowi i would like to have the time lol
Not seen LOTR? This man should react to the whole soundtrack and then do a let’s watch (theatrical version). Extended is for a second watch.
Oh man, just found your channel, fantastic stuff! You have gotta listen to the Lego City Undercover soundtrack! You wouldn’t think much of it just from looking at it but some of that music is astounding. “Falling to Earth” will literally give you goosebumps. “Yoshi’s BGMs” managed to get ahold of some studio quality tracks, it’s really something special.
f*ck me now i have to rewatch the whole lotr trilogy
This was just recommend to me and i wish there were more LotR videos on your channel!
I actually want to see that Dishonored menu reaction too!
Please do more LotR soundtrack reactions. Or better yet just watch the movies and tell us how you feel.
Could I have a suggestion too? Far Cry Blood Dragon and Modern Warfare 2019 OSTs.

unuware face when searching for names is its own reward
I will not say not to cry, cuz not all tears are an evil. --Gandalf
I hope he has heard the "Hobbit Theme" (not sure if that's the name), but I feel this one is really meant to be listened to after, at the end. It hints to the theme and I feel like this one doesn't quite make complete sense without that context.
you need to do Helms Deep from the Two Towers and the Great River from Fellowship of the Ring (the best track in the Peter Jackson films)
The feels
Somebody give him the Mines of Moria score!
A recommendation of a vid-game soundtrack for you, well, two, actually. Both are for one character but in different formats. One is in the old GBA MIDI format; the other is its remake versions. It's name? _Sensei's Theme_ in all its Jazzy glory.

I was there! :D ❤
Lately i have been wanting to rewatch all the lotr, matrix and.... titanic lol
LOTR anything will get you views/engagement!!
Which session was this from? I kinda want to see your reaction to the previous track from Dishonored lol
The VOD wasn't uploaded unfortunately, I think it might've been copyright claimed because of this track
@@durrnip Ah that’s a shame…but it makes sense.
i cry
You need to give the ost from ‘cave story’ a listen specifically the track ‘geothermal’ super cool game with an awesome soundtrack all made by one person.
If you haven't seen it I highly recomend it start with the Fellowship of the ring, the two towers than return of the king but to be honest the return of the king is my favorite out of the trilogy
Please please try a man called Cormac Begley and listen to him playing his bass concertina in a peice of amazing music called To War.
Many thanks 🙂
I'd love to see a reaction of Fallout New Vega's 'Begin Again'
hrrnnnng. Show me that dishonored context XD
You should react to the game of thrones music. It's incredible.
Who wants to watch ist again?🙋♀️
🥲
One thing I'll say is the 'music' was one of the few highlight of the latest Lord of the Rings tv show... nearly matches the quality of the movies imo.
No ver o leer esa trilogía es realmente un auténtico error.
