"As Beren looked into her eyes Within the shadows of her hair The trembling starlight of the skies He saw there mirrored shimmering Tinuvíel the Elven-fair Immortal maiden Elven-wise About him cast her shadowy hair And arms like silver glistening" My favourite stanza of poetry I've read so far. Even better in Sindarin: Beren tirant na chîn iell / Vi' wath finnil dîn velui / O elenath aglar menel / Egent ennas i míriol / Tinúviel elvanui / Elleth alfirin edhelhael / O hon ring finnil fuinui / A rainc gelebrin thiliol
This was inspired by the time Tolkien’s wife Edith danced for him among a grove of hemlocks while taking a walk through the woods in the Hull area. He was back in England recovering from the trench fever he’d contracted on the western front of WWI. Thereafter he came to think of Edith as “his Luthien.”
“The song of Lúthien before Mandos was the song most fair that ever in words was woven, and the song most sorrowful that ever the world shall hear. Unchanged, imperishable, it is sung still in Valinor beyond the hearing of the world, and listening the Valar are grieved. For Lúthien wove two themes of words, of the sorrow of the Eldar and the grief of Men, of the Two Kindreds that were made by Ilúvatar to dwell in Arda, the Kingdom of Earth amid the innumerable stars. And as she knelt before him her tears fell upon his feet like rain upon stones; and Mandos was moved to pity, who never before was so moved, nor has been since.”
Remember Aragorn said that this was only a small rough translation from the elvish version ? Just imagine how beautiful that version would be , if this is so wonderful!
Wait! If Aragorn says it is a rough transaltion, does that mean it is a rough translation into Westron? And that what we have is another translation from that? That would make this the most beautiful Google Translate Sings ever :D
@@weaverofbrokenthreads Read the Lay of Leithian, from the Lays of Beleriand, part of the History of Middle Earth series of books. Luthien is revealed as the most powerful elf (in my opinion) through her exploits against Sauron and Morgoth.
@@charlestatum2511 most powerful elf is pretty much undeniably Fëanor. Fingolfin also proved quite powerful with his duel against Morgoth. Lúthien is the most beautiful elf for sure, and also had quite powerful magic, but there are other elves who had greater power
You did the poem justice. All the praise aside, can we take a moment to just remember the brilliant mind of the man who wrote these bittersweet words. Tolkien truly doesn’t have his equal in the world today. There are many good fantasy stories out there. Some of them are really good, but none of them touch the heart like he did.
@@Cryogenius333 I must disagree. Tuniviel was one of the most beautiful elves, her decision caused a lot of grief to her kind. So, with Clamavis version being sadder and slower, it would be more appropriate as the elven version. Imagine the pain the immortal elves and her father must've felt when they learned they are never to see her again.
Tolkien is the best fantasy author of all time. He set standards for how the Wizards, Orcs, Elven kind, and the Dwarves (and many more) would be imagined by all the writers in times to follow. What an imaginative mind.
although i dislike his work there is no doubt the profound impact he had on the genre and all authors, many of my favorite authors rightly claim to follow Tolkiens works
@DM Animation i find most his work kinda dull and could never get into the black and white approach he had as well as not putting enough detail in areas I find more interest in. That being said at no point have I ever said his works are bad or his writing is bad just that I personally don't like it. I even said quite rightly many authors I like took inspiration and I have no qualm in saying he is one of the founding fathers if not the most important of the fantasy genre.
@@jam8539 No offense, but I think this point of view has led many authors to an opposite extreme. I.e., they started to pay too much attention to details. This resulted in stories which are in fact not so interesting for reader, but are supposed to show that author can handle big complex world. Take Jordan's Wheel of Time or GRRM's 'A song of Ice and Fire". While I adore both, these series are so huge that their authors deserve to be punished (well, Jordan is dead, but anyway). I took GRRM as an example here mainly for the same reason that you've mentioned, since GRRM himself talked a lot about Tolkien's black-white approach, his own attention to details, etc. By the way, it's not a big surprise that so intelligent man as Tolkien was keen to write in terms of black and white. He was one of those who has experienced World War as a soldier. I bet this had a significant impact on his style and how he perceived things.
@@pokeness686 doom fell on Tinuviel (Luthien) is about how she has given up her immortality and become mortal like Beren, and thus doomed to die like him.
@@SpiritofFeanor *technically* yes, but in the Silmarillion and Tolkien's older works in general, the term "doom" is understood more with the meaning of "destiny" or "fate". not necessarily negative (although mostly). a good example is the Doom of the Noldor, which has both good and bad sides, and one of the Valar, Namo (also known as Mandos) is called the Doomsman of the Valar
“It is told in the Lay of Leithian that Beren came stumbling into Doriath grey and bowed as with many years of woe, so great had been the torment of the road. But wandering in the summer in the woods of Neldoreth he came upon Lúthien, daughter of Thingol and Melian, at a time of evening under moonrise, as she danced upon the unfading grass in the glades beside Esgalduin. Then all memory of his pain departed from him, and he fell into an enchantment; for Lúthien was the most beautiful of all the Children of Ilúvatar. ” - an excerpt from The Silmarillion
I know its late and maybe it has already posted,but here are words written by J.R.R Tolkien directed to his true beloved Edith. Thank you Karliene for turning these verses into a magical song our ears are able hear to our pleasure and bliss. The leaves were long, the grass was green, The hemlock-umbels tall and fair, And in the glade a light was seen Of stars in shadow shimmering. Tinúviel was dancing there To music of a pipe unseen, And light of stars was in her hair, And in her raiment glimmering. There Beren came from mountains cold, And lost he wandered under leaves, And where the Elven-river rolled He walked alone and sorrowing. He peered between the hemlock-leaves And saw in wonder flowers of gold Upon her mantle and her sleeves, And her hair like shadow following. Enchantment healed his weary feet That over hills were doomed to roam; And forth he hastened, strong and fleet, And grasped at moonbeams glistening. Through woven woods in Elvenhome She lightly fled on dancing feet, And left him lonely still to roam In the silent forest listening. He heard there oft the flying sound Of feet as light as linden-leaves, Or music welling underground, In hidden hollows quavering. Now withered lay the hemlock-sheaves, And one by one with sighing sound Whispering fell the beachen leaves In the wintry woodland wavering. He sought her ever, wandering far Where leaves of years were thickly strewn, By light of moon and ray of star In frosty heavens shivering. Her mantle glinted in the moon, As on a hill-top high and far She danced, and at her feet was strewn A mist of silver quivering. When winter passed, she came again, And her song released the sudden spring, Like rising lark, and falling rain, And melting water bubbling. He saw the elven-flowers spring About her feet, and healed again He longed by her to dance and sing Upon the grass untroubling. Again she fled, but swift he came. Tinúviel! Tinúviel! He called her by her elvish name; And there she halted listening. One moment stood she, and a spell His voice laid on her: Beren came, And doom fell on Tinúviel That in his arms lay glistening. As Beren looked into her eyes Within the shadows of her hair, The trembling starlight of the skies He saw there mirrored shimmering. Tinúviel the elven-fair, Immortal maiden elven-wise, About him cast her shadowy hair And arms like silver glimmering. Long was the way that fate them bore, O'er stony mountains cold and grey, Through halls of iron and darkling door, And woods of nightshade morrowless. The Sundering Seas between them lay, And yet at last they met once more, And long ago they passed away In the forest singing sorrowless.
I visited my baby nephew last week and he was a little overstimulated so I sang him some bars of this beautiful music and he relaxed enough to go to sleep shortly after. Thank you for making wonderful songs all ages can love xxx
Parallel to my own experience. I sang Gimli’s Song of Durin (with my own tune) to calm another crying baby: he quickly stopped to listen, staring; then turned to sleep before the end.
"Then Lúthien stood upon the bridge, and declared her power: and the spell was loosed that bound stone to stone, and the gates were thrown down, and the walls opened, and the pits laid bare; and many thralls and captives came forth in wonder and dismay, shielding their eyes against the pale moon light, for they had lain long in the darkness of Sauron." -From the Silmarillion

This song is otherwordly. There's no other way to describe it. You sounded like Lúthien herself. Your Tolkien work is stunning. I wonder if you have any desire to do The Passing of the Elves (A Elbereth Gilthoniel)? Elvish is a beautiful language and you would make it tens times more wonderful.
Absolutely stunning, exactly what I needed this weary day. Thank you so much for lifting my spirits again with this beautiful tale sung with your magnificent and enchanting voice.
I have not the power with words as Tolkien had... even had I, it would be insufficient to describe the beauty of this canticle. The world looks brighter today and all that I have seems now much more a blessing. Thank you for sharing this gift with the world. May God above preserve your gift into the eternal ages.
I memorized this as a poem in high school to perform in my drama class, and I've kept up the memorization for years so I have it whenever the occasion arises to recite an epic poem (which happens more than you might think). It's really strange, actually, to hear it sung like this, but rather lovely. It's a beautiful piece of Tolkien poetry :)
Oh my dear this is sublime! I was wondering if you would ever do a Beren and Luthien song. :) Beautiful lyrics, and such a haunting music. Thanks for adding a new bit of magic in our world ✨
This is absolutely beautiful and brought a tear to my eye! Your Lament for Boromir was the song that first introduced me to you and while I've loved all your music it is the Tolkein-inspired songs that I find myself enjoying the most. Thank you!
Until now I had never heard a sung version of this poem that I thought did it justice. Well done indeed, its beyond beautiful and a work of art. Thank you for this, I have been playing this on repeat since I found it.
The Tale of Beren and Luthien are without a doubt my favourite tale from The Silmarillion and I've been hoping to hear it sung for years. So from the bottom of my heart, Thank you.
This song is very well done. Beren and Luthien are quite literally my favorite fantasy romantic couple since they go through hell - literally - to be with one another.
Beren is a metaphor for the soldier who survived the unimaginable horror of an industrial artillery war, to return to a land of relative peace, and stumble into the beauty of a woman dancing without a care, yet untouched by the war raging beyond her borders.
This poem is such a perfect fit for your voice, I got chills listening to your rendition. Thank you so much for sharing such an amazing piece of music with us!
What a masterpiece! This truly must be the most magnificent song I have ever heard. Spell casting. Your work invokes the spirit of mystical wonder and the atmosphere of it envelopes you in the essence of pure fantasy! Karliene, thank you.
Karliene your voice and music is so beautiful there is nothing in relms of elves men or Draves that can compare. I believe you were sent like ishtari themselves to give us light w your music to combat this dark world
This is so beautiful! Karliene, could you please do an album based on all your Lord of The Rings/The Hobbit songs? Maybe even add more songs of Middle Earth? I love your voice so much! Thank you! Thank you, for this song of Beren and Luthien! It's perfect!
Oh my gosh! I never expected this cover! This is my top favorite poem in all of Tolkien's works and your voice fits so perfectly with it. Tolkien would be so proud of you! 💕💞💕
I just finished marathoning the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings with my brother so I was so happy to see that you did a new Lord of the Rings one!!!! Beautiful!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨✨✨✨
Gosh, I don't know if was in earth when I listened your voice... But, for sure, I touched the heaven for some minutes. Karliene, your voice is pure magic!
Magnificently done. When I first read the Silmarillion as a kid, it was overwhelming. This evoked that same enchantment - the "distant towers in a land of mist."
First the majesty of Clamavi De Profundis, now the mystic voice of you Karliene.... we don't deserve the honor you give us or Tolkien's memor and world through your magics! 😭
Karliene, To be gifted for myself, a gift to sing as beautiful & meaningful (with feeling & emotion), as you have - would be phenomenal. When I listen to your songs & hear your voice, I am taken to a whole different world that I love so much!! Thank you.
Amazing! I’d have a difficult time picking any of your work as the best you’ve done, but this comes really close. Not just your performance, which is just flawless, but the brilliant arrangement and the way the muted music highlights your beautiful voice. Well done Karline. You absolutely nailed this one!
Greetings from Russia. There are no words to describe my feelings while I listen this amazing song. I am overwhelmed with emotions. It's so nice to get into the atmosphere of my favorite fairy- tale.Thanks, Karliene.
I imagine Melian wrote this and is singing it sorrowfully with her nightengales. She misses her daughter but she has made this beautiful song to commemorate their love story, their meeting so similar to hers and Thingol's.
When I listen to music to help my write, I listen to lots of fantasy music. But your music and voice give magic to my words. Thank you. Please do more milady

“Again she fled, but swift he came.
Tinúviel! Tinúviel!
He called her by her elvish name;
And there she halted, listening.”
Gets me every time.
"As Beren looked into her eyes
Within the shadows of her hair
The trembling starlight of the skies
He saw there mirrored shimmering
Tinuvíel the Elven-fair
Immortal maiden Elven-wise
About him cast her shadowy hair
And arms like silver glistening"
My favourite stanza of poetry I've read so far. Even better in Sindarin:
Beren tirant na chîn iell / Vi' wath finnil dîn velui / O elenath aglar menel / Egent ennas i míriol / Tinúviel elvanui / Elleth alfirin edhelhael / O hon ring finnil fuinui / A rainc gelebrin thiliol
Exactly! It gives me shivers and makes me feel what I felt when I first fell in love

He was back in England recovering from the trench fever he’d contracted on the western front of WWI. Thereafter he came to think of Edith as “his Luthien.”
I believe that on his shared Headstone with both him and his wife, beneath his name is the name "Beren" and beneath Edith's name is "Luthien"
Really thank's so much i didn't know that
@Вхламинго yes but what a wonderful song,so full of magic.Tolkien was a genius
@Вхламинго And Karliene is genius in singing
@Вхламинго Yes there you are right😁
“The song of Lúthien before Mandos was the song most fair that ever in words was woven, and the song most sorrowful that ever the world shall hear. Unchanged, imperishable, it is sung still in Valinor beyond the hearing of the world, and listening the Valar are grieved. For Lúthien wove two themes of words, of the sorrow of the Eldar and the grief of Men, of the Two Kindreds that were made by Ilúvatar to dwell in Arda, the Kingdom of Earth amid the innumerable stars. And as she knelt before him her tears fell upon his feet like rain upon stones; and Mandos was moved to pity, who never before was so moved, nor has been since.”
It was sad, but to evil creatures, it was funny.
Just reading that made me cry. Tolkien's power of words is as great as Lúthien's power of song.
You said it soooo beautiful and you are sooo right
You hear this song as if your ears know the tune itself
Reminds me of the description of Eurielle's "Lúthien's Lament". She wrote it as if it was Lúthien herself singing to Mandos.
Remember Aragorn said that this was only a small rough translation from the elvish version ? Just imagine how beautiful that version would be , if this is so wonderful!

The leaves were long, the grass was green,
The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
And in the glade a light was seen
Of stars in shadow shimmering.
Tinúviel was dancing there
To music of a pipe unseen,
And light of stars was in her hair,
And in her raiment glimmering.
There Beren came from mountains cold,
And lost he wandered under leaves,
And where the Elven-river rolled
He walked alone and sorrowing.
He peered between the hemlock-leaves
And saw in wonder flowers of gold
Upon her mantle and her sleeves,
And her hair like shadow following.
Enchantment healed his weary feet
That over hills were doomed to roam;
And forth he hastened, strong and fleet,
And grasped at moonbeams glistening.
Through woven woods in Elvenhome
She lightly fled on dancing feet,
And left him lonely still to roam
In the silent forest listening.
He heard there oft the flying sound
Of feet as light as linden-leaves,
Or music welling underground,
In hidden hollows quavering.
Now withered lay the hemlock-sheaves,
And one by one with sighing sound
Whispering fell the beachen leaves
In the wintry woodland wavering.
He sought her ever, wandering far
Where leaves of years were thickly strewn,
By light of moon and ray of star
In frosty heavens shivering.
Her mantle glinted in the moon,
As on a hill-top high and far
She danced, and at her feet was strewn
A mist of silver quivering.
When winter passed, she came again,
And her song released the sudden spring,
Like rising lark, and falling rain,
And melting water bubbling.
He saw the elven-flowers spring
About her feet, and healed again
He longed by her to dance and sing
Upon the grass untroubling.
Again she fled, but swift he came.
Tinúviel! Tinúviel!
He called her by her elvish name;
And there she halted listening.
One moment stood she, and a spell
His voice laid on her: Beren came,
And doom fell on Tinúviel
That in his arms lay glistening.
As Beren looked into her eyes
Within the shadows of her hair,
The trembling starlight of the skies
He saw there mirrored shimmering.
Tinúviel the elven-fair,
Immortal maiden elven-wise,
About him cast her shadowy hair
And arms like silver glimmering.
Long was the way that fate them bore,
O'er stony mountains cold and grey,
Through halls of iron and darkling door,
And woods of nightshade morrowless.
The Sundering Seas between them lay,
And yet at last they met once more,
And long ago they passed away
In the forest singing sorrowless.
Such lissom limbs no more shall run
upon the earth, beneath the sun;
so fair a maid no more shall be
from dawn to dusk, from sun to sea.
Everytime I watch Aragorn and Arwen's wedding, I imagine Beren and Lúthien's spirits among the crew, smiling at them.
More than that, they wed on Midsummer, the anniversary of the day Gondolin fell, and now here they are triumphant over that same evil!

Tinúviel the elven-fair
And mortal maiden elven-wise
About him cast her shadow’y hair
And arms like sliver, glimmering
Long was the way that fate them bore
O'er stormy mountains, cold and grey
Through halls barren, and darkling-door
And woods of night shades, morrow-less
The Sund'ring Seas between them lay
And yet, again, the met once more
And long ago they passed away
In the forest singing, sorrow-less
This song is otherwordly. There's no other way to describe it. You sounded like Lúthien herself. Your Tolkien work is stunning. I wonder if you have any desire to do The Passing of the Elves (A Elbereth Gilthoniel)? Elvish is a beautiful language and you would make it tens times more wonderful.
Yes! I want to hear you singing in Elvish!!!!
Check out Eurielles song Luthiens Lament.
This is incredibly beautiful. Your Tolkien songs are always brilliant.
Absolutely stunning, exactly what I needed this weary day. Thank you so much for lifting my spirits again with this beautiful tale sung with your magnificent and enchanting voice.
The only people who could rival your work is Clamvi De Profundus.
But WOW! Your voice is angelic.
They should do a duo one time. I'd love to see *that*
I love their version of the Lonely Mountain song, they perfectly capture the sorrow of a glorious past. This song though... it's magical.
Her version is better
Imagine the collaboration. :)
she’s the elf and they’re the dwarves
Beautiful and otherworldly. It does invoke the Elder Days. Well sung.
This has always been my favorite Tolkien song, and I can't imagine anyone else doing such a magnificent job. I absolutely love this!!
I've done a me-too version, using a Nordic folk tune.
Karliene if you ever want song lyrics translating into Elvish im 100 percent here for that.Truly your voice is as fine as that of Lúthien the fair
I'm not much of a fan of romance stories (or romance in general), but when I first read this story it really touched my heart.
I have not the power with words as Tolkien had... even had I, it would be insufficient to describe the beauty of this canticle. The world looks brighter today and all that I have seems now much more a blessing. Thank you for sharing this gift with the world. May God above preserve your gift into the eternal ages.
As much as I love metal, I'm always so happy to find Tolkien songs that are different genres because I feel there should be more.
This is beautiful!
Oh my God, my favorite piece of art. Your beautiful voice and J. R. R. Tolkien himself! What a blessing.
I memorized this as a poem in high school to perform in my drama class, and I've kept up the memorization for years so I have it whenever the occasion arises to recite an epic poem (which happens more than you might think). It's really strange, actually, to hear it sung like this, but rather lovely. It's a beautiful piece of Tolkien poetry :)
Oh my dear this is sublime! I was wondering if you would ever do a Beren and Luthien song. :) Beautiful lyrics, and such a haunting music. Thanks for adding a new bit of magic in our world ✨
I am so glad you heard this already my friend, I was about to send it to you. Her voice is beyond belief now. How can she continue doing this?
Paul McCormick We need K’s magic so badly right now!
Needs some about the tragic Túrin Turambar and the valiant Fingolfin.
Tolkien wrote the lyrics just so you know

Its Eurielle but...thank me later
Utterly beautiful! Thank you.
I absolutely worship J.R.R. Tolkien and you did something beautiful. Thank you from the heart.
Enchanting, in the truest sense of the word. When the song finished I felt like I'd been rudely awoken from a beautiful dream.
This is absolutely beautiful and brought a tear to my eye! Your Lament for Boromir was the song that first introduced me to you and while I've loved all your music it is the Tolkein-inspired songs that I find myself enjoying the most. Thank you!
She is an amazing songstress -- such a wonderful voice and presence. A+ at least
This is just magnificent, Karliene. Such a beautiful song.
Until now I had never heard a sung version of this poem that I thought did it justice. Well done indeed, its beyond beautiful and a work of art. Thank you for this, I have been playing this on repeat since I found it.
Came back to this song after like a year since my lotr dive. This song holds a place its so nice to hear this again thank you
I think everyone who has been following you and your renditions of Tolkien poems has been waiting for this. THANK YOU!!
The Tale of Beren and Luthien are without a doubt my favourite tale from The Silmarillion and I've been hoping to hear it sung for years. So from the bottom of my heart, Thank you.
This song is very well done. Beren and Luthien are quite literally my favorite fantasy romantic couple since they go through hell - literally - to be with one another.
Beren and luthien are my favourite couple the second is Helen and Paris
My second favorite is Eowyn and faramir
Eowyn and Faramir are my favorite, then Beren and Luthien, then Aragorn and Arwen. My top three favorite fictional couples.
@@gianna526 Aegnor and Andrerh and Tuor and Idril!
Just started my next read through of this book series, and when i get to the songs i just listen to your renditions. Awesome job
Beren and luthien, Aragorn and Arwen, Ronald and Edith true love
andrew jones I so love how he viewed his wife as Luthien. Even having it on her GRAVE man. That kind of love... wow. It’s epic.
Beren is a metaphor for the soldier who survived the unimaginable horror of an industrial artillery war, to return to a land of relative peace, and stumble into the beauty of a woman dancing without a care, yet untouched by the war raging beyond her borders.
This poem is such a perfect fit for your voice, I got chills listening to your rendition. Thank you so much for sharing such an amazing piece of music with us!
That was beautiful! You and Tolkiens stories are a great mix.
excuse me, can you tell me what is " tolkien " ?
@@The2000Ping that's the man who wrote the poem
Stunning! Listened to this first thing this morning - Beautiful.
This. Is. EPIC. It's so beautiful, I added it to my fantasy playlist, that way while I'm writing my books I can have magic dancing through my head.
Gods above. I can't explain how in love I am with you bringing the most amazing love story to life with the magic of your voice. Thank you

Marvellous! Harmonious, happy, lush woods and gardens are conjured forth in my mind!
The beauty of your voice is matched only by the beauty of the words. Simply superb.
Your harmonies are from another world entirely. So transcendent and gorgeous.
Vraiment sublime. Je ne connaissais pas cette artiste, ni même cette œuvre de J.R R Tolkien. Quelle voix !!!!! 😍🧚🏻♀️🧝🏻♂️🧚🏻♂️🧝🏻♀️
Oh thank you so much for doing this. Its a beautiful story and I love all your loving emotional songs like wolf and the moon
What a masterpiece! This truly must be the most magnificent song I have ever heard.
Spell casting. Your work invokes the spirit of mystical wonder and the atmosphere of it envelopes you in
the essence of pure fantasy!
Karliene, thank you.
Karliene your voice and music is so beautiful there is nothing in relms of elves men or Draves that can compare. I believe you were sent like ishtari themselves to give us light w your music to combat this dark world
This song makes me wish that I could do more than just like. Your voice is truly wonderful O blessed of Illuvator.
This is so beautiful! Karliene, could you please do an album based on all your Lord of The Rings/The Hobbit songs? Maybe even add more songs of Middle Earth? I love your voice so much! Thank you! Thank you, for this song of Beren and Luthien! It's perfect!
I'd somehow missed this until now. Very, very nice.
I have listened to this song about ten times and I regret none of it!
The best love story
I needed this more than I thought. It's so beautiful, I cried.
mere words fail to capture the beauty that your voice evokes, close the eyes and once again can be seen the two as the chase continues.
Wow diese Stimme, mega schön
Oh my gosh! I never expected this cover! This is my top favorite poem in all of Tolkien's works and your voice fits so perfectly with it. Tolkien would be so proud of you! 💕💞💕
beautiful song and voice
This is beautiful. So melancholic and yet...
I just finished marathoning the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings with my brother so I was so happy to see that you did a new Lord of the Rings one!!!! Beautiful!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨✨✨✨
Timing lol
Karliene thank you so much this is my favorite poem and story from Tolkien. You truly are the best thank you so much
Yet another masterpiece by my favourite fantasy singer karliene
Another gem in Karliene's amazing voice. Thank you so much for this, shared as always!
Gosh, I don't know if was in earth when I listened your voice... But, for sure, I touched the heaven for some minutes. Karliene, your voice is pure magic!
My cousin and I agree that your voice is magical!
Magnificently done. When I first read the Silmarillion as a kid, it was overwhelming. This evoked that same enchantment - the "distant towers in a land of mist."
This is wonderful ! It feels like my heart is cleaned of all worries by your voice.
Wonderfully well done! Love the song and the voice singing it as well.
Thank you for the performance!
Beautiful Musik!!!
O my word, I'm currently reading this book. Thanks for giving me a beautiful song to listen to while I enjoy this wonderful tale.
Thanck's for this ode, and most beautiful talle from Tolkien
Merci for the so beautiful Song ❤❤❤
First the majesty of Clamavi De Profundis, now the mystic voice of you Karliene.... we don't deserve the honor you give us or Tolkien's memor and world through your magics! 😭
There are no mutch songs, they make me feel, but when i here your beautiful songs, i even cry
Karliene,
To be gifted for myself, a gift to sing as beautiful & meaningful (with feeling & emotion), as you have - would be phenomenal. When I listen to your songs & hear your voice, I am taken to a whole different world that I love so much!! Thank you.
Amazing! I’d have a difficult time picking any of your work as the best you’ve done, but this comes really close. Not just your performance, which is just flawless, but the brilliant arrangement and the way the muted music highlights your beautiful voice. Well done Karline. You absolutely nailed this one!
Beautiful song. Thank you and best regards from Poland.
Magnificent! 👏👏👏
Such a wonderful and beautiful love tale.
Magical!!!!!!! Thank you Soul Sister 💫💗🌹
Simply beautiful!
Greetings from Russia. There are no words to describe my feelings while I listen this amazing song. I am overwhelmed with emotions. It's so nice to get into the atmosphere of my favorite fairy- tale.Thanks, Karliene.
Thank you soo much! Have been waiting a long time for this song. Thank you again.
Never clicked a video and immediately added it to my favorites playlist as fast as I just did!
I imagine Melian wrote this and is singing it sorrowfully with her nightengales. She misses her daughter but she has made this beautiful song to commemorate their love story, their meeting so similar to hers and Thingol's.
AAAAAA MY HEART. Melian is my favourite female character from the Tolkien lore.
Enchanting.
I love Tolkien’s songs, but this is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard.
When I listen to music to help my write, I listen to lots of fantasy music. But your music and voice give magic to my words. Thank you. Please do more milady
