Come to think of it, There's even a music from a Game that reminds me of LotR (beides that the game also does) From the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, there's a forest themed temple/level with beautiful music. it always reminded me think of Lothlorien for some reason. it has a mysterious elven sound to it. 'Tis very odd indeed..

Okay, I must post the lyrics to "Dante's Prayer" by Loreena McKennitt, and if you haven't heard it, then hie thee to a music store (or iTunes) and listen to it... but have tissues handy.
When the dark wood fell before me And all the paths were overgrown When the priests of pride say there is no other way I tiled the sorrows of stone I did not believe because I could not see Thought you came to me in the night When the dawn seemed forever lost You showed me your love in the light of the stars (chorus)Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me Then the mountain rose before me By the deep well of desire From the fountain of forgiveness Beyond the ice and the fire (chorus) Though we share this humble path, alone How fragile is the heart Oh give these clay feet wings to fly To touch the face of the stars (chorus) Breathe life into this feeble heart Life this mortal veil of fear Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears We've rise above Earthly cares (chorus) Please remember me... please remember me (repeats until fully faded) |

Okay how about Truly, Madly, Deeply by Savage Garden? I can imagine Aragorn & Arwen, and Legolas & Gimli singing this to each other...
And Strawberry Feilds forever by the Beatles when Frodo and Sam meet Pipin and Merry I think of this song! Has anyone played Baulders Gate II: Shadows of Amn? The music totally sounds like its outta LotR! Cheers y'all Elonve    (ps; great topic THE ka!) ________ Hemp marijuana Last edited by Elonve; 04-09-2011 at 05:56 PM. |

Just was listening to Morrissey today, and I came across this song. It reminds me a lot of Sam and Frodo...
It's called Moon River. Lovely song... it is actually a variation of Jonny Mercer and Henri Mancini's great. Moonriver Wider than a mile I'll be crossing you in style Someday Oh, Dreammaker You heartbreaker Wherever you're going I'm going your way Two drifters Off to see the world I'm not so sure the world Deserves us We're after The same rainbow's end How come it's just around the bend ? It's always just around the bend ? Moonriver Wider than a mile I'll be crossing you in style Someday Oh, Dreammaker You heartbreaker Wherever you're going I'm going your way Two drifters Off to see the world I'm not so sure the world Deserves us We're after The same rainbow's end It's just around the bend It's just around the bend It's just around the bend It's just around the bend Lovely song? It's so beautiful if you people could here it, any version. ~ Ka

Whilst there aren't any songs I have heard that remind me of LOTR, aside from something obvious like Ramble On by Led Zep, I think that part of After the Gold Rush by Neil Young espouses the longing for the romance of medieval stories which is largely responsible for my love of Tolkien's stories: Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armour coming saying something about a queen there were peasants singing and drummers drumming and the archer split the tree there was a fanfare blowing to the sun that was floating on the breeze I also must mention May it Be by Enya. I know it was made specifically for the FOTR movie, but it just captures the essence of Frodo and his plight so beautifully. It is totally LOTR, and I hazard a guess that even Tolkien himself would have been happy with that song. |

There is a song called King Of The Mountain by Kate Bush that, for me, really reminds me of that scene in the Hobbit when all the Dwarves get their instruments out and play the song about going and freeing the Lonely Mountain. I would post the lyrics but that it's not those that remind me, it's the music, and that one line 'king of the mountain', which I continually mishear as 'king under the mountain'.

).I would most definately agree that the song has a distinct Middle-earth feel to it. Indeed, much of Kate Bush's music does. Perhaps it's the Celtic influence. |

One song which has often made me think of ME is Two Horizons by Moya Brennan. Tara itself is the seat of the kings of old and it's not far out for me to add some first age elves onto that. The song is so beautiful and so sad at the same time.
"Hard to believe when the heart is so broken Storms in the valley hide words never spoken I hear the sounds Two horizons sing The harp that once through Tara Silver moon stands when the morning is rising Chasing the wind to the crystal horizon Hard to believe when the signs are uncertain Courage be born then our world will stop hurting I hear the sounds Two horizons sing Two horizons burn The harp that once through Tara"

Hmm, I have some more to add to the list of music. If you like The Battle of Evermore how about Fairport Convention's album Liege And Leaf? Sandy Denny who sings on 'Battle..' was the late singer for Fairport. A lot of the old late 60s/early 70s acid folk songs make me think of Tolkien; Vashti Bunyan's album Just Another Diamond Day is Hobbit music - simple, delicate and whimsical. Then finally there's Kate Rusby's Underneath The Stars - beautiful... Oh, and if you want something to remind you of something darker in Tolkien's work, the very scary Come To Daddy by Aphex Twin always makes me think of the scene where the Witch-king threatens to take Eowyn off to the Houses of Lamentation. Brrrr!

I finally investigated Isengard, a project of black metal hero Fenriz, and it's really good. It evokes the spirit of Orcs. Folky, black metal. Songs like 'Trollwandering' - what more can I say? Isengard!
