Favourite soundtrack song? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The Might · 11-01-2007, 08:09 AM

Just purchased the soundtracks of all 3 movies and must say, there are some great songs. Some are a bit boring, but most of them are really nice.

I was wondering what your favourite song(s) of the soundtrack are?

I personally most like "Forth Eorlingas" (played in the TTT at then end of the Battle of Helm's Deep and "The White Tree" played in ROTK as the beacons are lit.

I love those three soundtracks! Forth Eorlingas is a gorgeous song, I will agree. Unfortunately, I lost the TT soundtrack over a year ago and haven't listened to it in all that time.

My favoritest of all the songs, though, is Track 17, I believe, in the FotR Soundtrack - The Breaking of the Fellowship. It's soooo beautiful and emotionally charged and wonderful!

Although, the first one on the RotK soundtrack is good, too. I think it's called Foundations of Stone...? I like that a lot.

Agree

Breaking of the Fellowship is beautiful, especially the singing part at the end is really beautiful.

Also Into the West is great, I actually like it better then May It Be. Something about Lennox' voice that makes it more special, though Enya is also very good.

And Samwise the Brave always makes me think of the Hobbits going up Mount Doom, also a great song.

Anyway, all in all, I came to the conclusion that it was worth purchasing the soundtracks.

My favorite is Annie Lennox doing "Into The West". Its simply beautiful. I tear up when I hear the first few bars being teased long before she sings it.

Golly, when the end of the story is fresh in my mind I begin to nearly cry before the end of the Grey Havens (which is, in itself, a wonderful track), and when Into the West starts, particularly when she reaches the lines, "Why do you weep? What are these tears upon your face?" I am truly crying.

But then, the Grey Havens breaks my heart every time I read or watch is, so...it's little surprise that I cry.

The Return of the King (on ROTK)! I also really like the The Black Gate, if only for the stunning flute part at exactly 1 minute (1:00) into the track. Journey in the Dark is also a great track, as is Riders of Rohan. Got to love the Rohan theme!
