I’ve loved this rendition of the Song of Durin for years, and it’s time I shared it around. If you like dwarves in fantasy, or would like to maybe get a better feel for what other people like about them, have a listen.

Elrond composed "The Song of Durin" after the fall of Khazad-Dûm. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

anyone have the sheet music for the Eurielle/Peter Hollens version of the Song of Durin? I can’t even find it somewhere to buy lol, it’s unavailable on the actual site. I’m trying to do it by ear but I’m tone deaf 😂😭

My husband is learning that when certain songs come on I need to stop everything, every conversation, every thought and just devote myself to the song.
"dear I know we were talking about something important but this my life source i need to scream the song of durin."
The best thing is that he knows it's 5 minutes tops and so he just has to accept it. XD

The power of the human voice, or the future of music in space
Previously, I have mentioned my adoration for sean-nos music, the powerful tradition of the unaccompanied human voice from Ireland.
Most music set in the future is usually super electronic, but in my opinion, this is not the main form of music I could see humans using in the vast expanse of space. Instead, I could see lots of unaccompanied, acoustic singing happening. Where the only music you hear on the transmitter is that of a lone, human voice.
This is a massive plot point in Far Past the Ring (Ghosts and Tales, Part 7, to be precise), where a lone woman's voice, in a pleading, aching message, calls to a lost person, begging for them to come home to her.
The message is one of the catalysts within the story, as it is not only a song of pleading, but one promising safety in the vast danger of a galactic system at war. It is not only a song of resounding heartbreak, but almost like a beacon of hope, a lighthouse in the storm, as two of the main characters find the message, and are able to bring their people to safety because of it.
Eurielle's unfathomably beautiful cover of 'Song of Durin' is exactly how I imagined it would sound on the transmission.

the sheer scale of khazad-dûm's existance is so unimaginable…! it existed longer than any elven realm in middle-earth (from what i know), it is older than the hobbits as a whole, it saw númenor rise and then sink back into the ocean. khazad-dûm was built by the literal first dwarf that awoke, it is older than the sun and moon. it encompasses nearly all of their existance. and it was brutally taken from them!! of course they want it back!!

this song reminds me of thorin and dís
It's like I've gone off to the coast
Left you behind just standing there
Pretending not to see your ghost
If only you could hear my voice
But you are screaming far too loud to hear me swear
Just because I left doesn't mean that I'm not still there
How could you leave me here?" you'll scream
And louder, I'll scream back to you from that unknown
And say "I know you're strong enough to do this on your"
And you'll look up at the storm
You'll say "I've been so scared
You left me here behind, do you not care?
How the fuck am I supposed to carry on without you here?"
