Here is our verison of the Lament for Boromir! We hope you enjoy it:)
We are unable to get permission to sell this song so we are posting it here free for your enjoyment. If you want a copy of the mp3, we are offering it to those who support us on Patreon!
Due to having a broad range of voices, each of us was able to play a "character" so to speak in the song, giving it our own unique touch.
My brother composed and arranged the piece. My family sang it.

Lyrics:
The Lament for Boromir was a song sung by Aragorn and Legolas as the funeral-boat of Boromir drifted away:
Aragorn sang:
Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows
The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it goes.
‘What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring to me tonight?
Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight?
‘I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide and grey,
I saw him walk in empty lands until he passed away
Into the shadows of the North, I saw him then no more.
The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor,
‘O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar,
But you came not from the empty lands where no men are.’
Then Legolas sang:
From the mouths of the Sea the South Wind flies, from the sandhills and the stones,
The wailing of the gulls it bears, and at the gate it moans.
‘What news from the South, O sighing wind, do you bring to me at eve?
Where now is Boromir the Fair? He tarries and I grieve.
‘Ask not of me where he doth dwell - so many bones there lie,
On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky,
So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing Sea.
Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind sends to me!’
‘O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs south,
But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea’s mouth’.
Then Aragorn sang again:
From the Gate of the Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls,
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.
‘What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me today?
What news of Boromir the bold? For he is long away.’
‘Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought,
His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.
His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest,
And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.
‘O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze,
To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.
Gimli then comments that they left the east wind to him, but he would not sing it. Aragorn responds that the people of Gondor endure the east wind but do not ask it for tidings, because in that direction lies Mordor and the Evil in the East.

I know this sounds like an odd question. I am a big fan of your work! I also play a game called Lord of the Rings Online. In it you can play music in character. I would love to be able to play your song in gane. That being said I would really like to know what notes/pitch you use for the voices in the song. I have been trying to match it by ear but it isn't the easiest thing to do. Again, I really appreciate your work and look forward to hearing more in the future!
Clamavi De Profundis If I ever get the chance, I want to sing with you all once. You are all very talented.

In the description, you typed "verison" instead of "version".
A lot of people mock Boromir, in the movies especially, but those people project themselves as perfect and incorruptible. Boromir is the only human to me in the fellowship, as Aragorn spent most his extended life with elves and the Dunedain rangers. Boromir has fought on the front lines his whole life, thrust into a leadership role that wasn’t destined for him. You see his love for his country and people, and it’s painful to see his great strength and heart fail.
I totally agree. That’s why I’m almost moved to tears when I see him tear through the forest to get to the hobbits when the orcs attack. He has to fail because that’s the only way he can be redeemed. And he does redeem himself and in the end he’s better than he was before he fell. That’s what makes it so beautiful to me. That’s where his true strength and heart shows itself. His ability to get back up is so inspiring.
He is Humanity in person.
Brave, strong, beliving he does good and meaning so but filled with Hybris.
@@Poopenheiner
Humanity, and men in particuler, cannot rise above themselves with out the humiliation of falling, failing, and defeat. The bitterness of being crushed is when we discover if we are clay that shatters, or gold refined.
Beautifully said. Great song around a campfire
@@sangralknight3031 Well Said. That kinda goes with something my English teacher always said, that humanity is doomed to fail. We always will. It’s only in falling that we can get back up.
most bro move of Aragorn in the books, doesn't expose Boromir's fall to the corruption to the ring so he may be remembered with honor
As he should, because whilst Boromir fell, momentarily, he also redeemed himself.
Aragorn understood the power and evil of the Ring. And as Guy Incognito points out, Boromir redeemed himself in the saving of Merry and Pippen....
It really does show the respect he had for Boromir. I'm glad they visualized it in the films by him donning his vambraces
I believe in the books it also was said that Aragorn going did not speak of that for many years because he wanted to protect boromir
@@sapherno11 I think you're right, though I think it specifically says he never revealed Boromir's fall to anyone
‘You left the East Wind to me,’ said Gimli, ‘but I will say naught of it.’
‘That is as it should be,’ said Aragorn. ‘In Minas Tirith they endure the East Wind, but they do not ask it for tidings.'
The Motherfucking Emperor of Motherfucking Mankind
Aye.
This should've been in the movies.
Songs created Tolkien's world, and they play a huge role within it.
*_FOR RUSS AND THE ALLFATHER!!!!!!_*
- Varagyn Agnarr "the Bastard" Salventius of Harald Deathwolf's Deathwolves
O'er the Dark Lord's lands the East Wind roars, though Gondor heeds it not,
Its voice is iron, its mouth is flame, its odors reek and rot.
'What tidings of the East, O deathly wind, do you bring me from the Dark?
Gondor asks after Boromir, but to you I alone shall hark.
'Has Mordor taken this strong man, for the Dark Lord to have his way,
Where shadows lie upon the land, and night has vanquished day?
Nay, for he refused 'till his end came, though the Night will soon take all,
By the hordes of the Orcs this fool was slain, for he heeds not Mairon's call.'
O Boromir! Behind the Black Gate, armies muster great and strong,
But still you would fight 'neath the banners of Light 'till the final rays are gone.’
Mush V. Peets By Eru, it is beautiful.
Wow. Did you write this yourself? Really well done!
Yes
It is said that just one arrow is enough to kill the most powerful man, he was pierced by three
In the 70s he was pierced by 7-9
StratPulse such is the might of the mighty men of gondor that they stand defiant even when all hope is lost and only life will break under such strain
in the 2030s he will have to be pierced by 20 to die, you know the cinema of this days :)
only to come back in next one
oh wait that's Gandalf
It is said we was pierced by many, very true. But his enemies spoke of him highly, one of them said the mighty warrior is now dead. Or whatever, can't truly remember.. ;o
Boromir went to the council of Elrond in search of hope for his people, and although it was not the hope he thought and he did not deliver it himself he made sure to send hope to Gondor
And helped his little brother find peace.
the hope of peoples and kings, a sullen man named strider
Amazing reference - Boromir strengthened the will of Aragorn to lead Gondor as a returning King. Aragorn's alias before coming to age was Estel which meant "hope" in Elvish.
He sent Estel, the Hope.
Many things my captain's did, and I have faith they knew just how terrible the evil eas which they went against. Their reaction to this evil in the end was what truly made them who they were.
To think, Tolekin's first deployment in the First World War was in the Somme. We could have lost a genius artist back then. I am forever thankful for his survival and encouragement to write such beauty.
We lost probably a lot of goods artists in the first and second war...
@@gabrielclausse2121Heard there was some Austrian painter that killed himself near the end of it all
@@hellothere9407 you made me laugh so hard 😂
@@hellothere9407 Classic. XD
@@gabrielclausse2121 just got it
"They found him lying atop a small mound of fallen foes, pierced by the dark arrows of the Uruk-Hai Lurtz. The broken bodies of the dead Uruk-Hai, strewn in a winding path for more than one hundred paces, showing his route through the forest. A grim testament to his skill and dedication as a warrior.
Lurtz wasn’t in the books only movies
@@SAMUEL-bb2ig i’m not quoting the books, just trying to make a description of the scene, with a little flourish.
@@JanHBuch yeah no problem
Boromir the most realistic character in the entire series
Also probably the most relatable
Indeed. He was a human in the age of heroes.
Thorin, Theoden and Boromir are the best

@@mrhalfwit972 Eomir
Thus did Boromir fall.
Captain of Gondor, Loyal son of a failing city, heir of a crumbling Kingdom.
Yet Boromir's heart was strong, as was his love for Gondor, for he was a True Son.
Sent on a hopeless quest, lead by an ancient leader to destroy the enemies ancient weapon.
Met by a Witch with a piercing eye, which laid bare his heart.
Fear. Despair. A hopeless dread that none could stand against the Shadow.
Yet a Mighty heart had Boromir, Son of the White Tower.
A mighty heart could not protect him from the Enemy's Power.
The Ring...Turned his Love of Gondor....to Madness.
To redeem that madness, he fought with shield and sword to protect the Little Ones.
Foe he struck down, again and again.
Yet no sword could save him from the black arrows, nor could his cloven shield.
And so did Boromir the Fair journey across the sea to join his Kin.
"Be at peace...Son of Gondor"
Thank you.
This is worthy of royalty!!
Actual tears right now
I'm highly impressed by how Aragon and Legolas apparently ad-libbed this entire song. Must be an elf-thing.
Maybe they knew Boromir was gonna die and had been writing it for weeks. Lol
I went to a performance once where some actors would draw random ideas from a hat written by the audience and then immediately improv a song from them, but I’m pretty sure they at least already knew all the notes. I have no idea if it’s possible to just pull a whole song out of the air though
@@sabretoothstudios9142 probably not realistic, but it's a fantasy world so who gives a F? Amirite?
It 100% was an elvish thing. If you look at the books elves sing constantly. Even the elvish language is very musical. And actually the old elves would wield their power in terms of song. That is how tinuviel put morgoth to sleep. With a song. That is how finrod dueled against sauron, with songs of power.
Again singing is very much so an Elven thing.
I'm imagining Boromir coming back from getting firewood and walking in on them rehearsing.
the west wind is powerful, the southern cunning and the northern ominous. The east wind we endure, and do not ask tidings from it
Xavi Salomó Barrios 👌
why, what is wrong with the East wind?
@@juliaharano9548 The East wind comes from Mordor and nothing good ever comes from there
@@Pineapocalypse oh undertood thanks, so sad I enjoy so much the East

Remember Tolkien was from England
He wrote this in france.
Nazi Germany was east of him.
The reason I loved Boromir, was because he was a mortal, a man, with no superpowers just like us.
Well said my friend!
i don't know about you chief, but most mortal men don't have superpowers
And yet, he was powerful.
@@theshadow7937 Aragorn was a Numenorean thus had better physical prowess,more years to live by thus more experience and better mental prowess.Legolas was an elf,an undying race with eternal grace and like-Numenorean physical prowess.Gimli was a dwarf with increased lifespan and stronger physicall prowess then a normal human.Gandalf was an angel.Merry,Pippin,Sam and Frodo had all inner resistance to corruption.Boromir was literally the only one in the fellowship without a heavenly gift.
@@mucurovic4665 do you know what a joke is good person?, i know what they said, i also know that boromir was just a mortal man.
Rest in peace Boromir. May your meme live on for all eternity...
One does not simply forget the meme.
One does not simply take this scene seriously anymore
JediJoe2001 one will not simply let Sean Bean survive
He does like to die in every possible movie/show ^^
Did he not survive in The Martian ?
These are poems in the book, but your choral group has really turned them into beautiful songs.
Poems yes, but I want to say that the poems Tolkien made were typically meant to double as lyrics for songs and people to sing them as music is everywhere in the legendarium.
God: creates human
Human: creates Lord of The Rings
God: *smiles*
altair91100 Tolkien was a very devout Catholic, and LotR is full of Catholic themes and imagery, so methinks you are spot on!
@@mattbernacki9282 Also Norse themes. Heavy Norse themes.
@@unbelievablytrash9458 Yes. but Tolkien did say he wrote as an exposition of Catholicism, his aim was to show how myth in general is part of the larger truth myth which is Christianity. His words
@@saltyprepper5518 Tolkien also said that he "cordially dislikes allagory" as it was the forceful impression of the author's will and meaning on the reader and preferred readers to draw their own conclusions. As a member of Asatru, I'll take some Norse themes.
@@unbelievablytrash9458 He literally considered it a part of the real world and Eru as God. There can be Norse themes because Norse culture is simply a more recent part of Middle Earth's history, but his creation story is similar to Genesis for a reason.

O'er the Ephel Duath the East Wind roars, though Gondor heeds it not,
Its voice is iron, its mouth is flame, its odors reek and rot.
'What tidings of the East, O deathly wind, do you bring me from the Dark?
Gondor asks after Boromir, but to you I alone shall hark.
'Has Mordor taken this strong man, for the Dark Lord to have his way,
Where shadows lie upon the land, and night has vanquished day?
Nay, for he refused 'till his end came, though the Night will soon take all,
By the hordes of the Orcs this fool was slain, for he heeds not Mairon's call.'
O Boromir! Behind the Black Gate, armies muster great and strong,
But still you would fight 'neath the banners of Light 'till the final rays are gone.’
Woah cool. Did you write that?
he did :)
Arthur Daffos yep definitely not Tolkien
Mush V. Peets .
I could see Denethor singing this line holding the broken horn of boromir
I always picture the soldiers of Gondor singing this after hearing of the fate of their beloved captain.
"O Boromir from the high walls" they would chant
The Fellowship actually sings this in the book.
"Ask not of me where doth he dwell, So many bones there lie" I just love this line . . . so chilling . . . 3:51
I really appreciate that this has a different feel to it than the Dwarven songs. One of the big weaknesses of other interpretations of LotR music that I've heard is that the songs are often stylistically very similar, despite the intent that they be from very different sources.
That's one of the most interesting things about Tolkien, he had each culture having different poetic rhythms and styles
One does not simply forget Boromir...
Here is our version of the Lament for Boromir. We hope you enjoy it!
Will this be put on Spotify?
Also, I just want to say that I absolutely love your adaptations of Tolkien's works. Song of Durin is a song I've listened to nearly daily, and at least weekly, since its release. Please keep up the absolutely amazing work!
Also tell your brother that his composition skills are impeccable. He would, if he doesn't already, have a fantastic career in composition should he ever try his hand at it.
Clamavi De Profundis. I enjoyed it immensly. You bring me back to the time, when I was young, and still dreamed about... the first time I read The Lord of the rings. Please upload it to google, so I can buy it.
Also, I have a humble wish. You made the songs... so you have to have the high resolution, high quality, lossless versions. The ones I bought are compressed CD quality versions. No way to have anything better. I wish to purchase from you the best quality version available. At least Durin's song I would like to have in studio quality. Is it possible to buy that some way?
I was waiting for this song for the last weeks.
Love your song of Durin, my neighbors must hate you, as i enjoy singing along in your chorus.
You guys are great!
Clamavi De Profundis I love this accent in your English! 😍😍
" I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My king"
theo bouvie Rest now Son of Gondor
This is incredible, and genuinely made me cry. Boromir's death hits hard every single time, in book and movie, and to hear Legolas and Aragorn's lament for him sung so true to how I always imagined it is breathtaking. May the Son of Denethor and Brother of Faramir forever live on in our hearts...🍃
"You left the East Wind to me," Said Gimli "But I will say naught of it." "That is as it should be," said Aragorn. "In Minas Tirith they endure the East Wind, but they do not ask it for tidings."
Me: Singing along, happy with having a deeper voice.
NW: "Beneath Amon Hen.."
Me: What??!
hahah you made me laugh
And then I like to sing the songs and notice I have a higher voice, because I m a female, ahahah :(
My voice can turn into a really deep bass so I can pull off those parts perfectly but in exchange I have to deepen a bunch of the higher parts to keep them in my range. Win some, lose some
@@stormblade3408 same, sadly. I can sing deep, but anything higher than maybe half an octive above my normal voice is near impossible
Sing it in your octaves. Whichever pitch works for you. There's no harm in that.

How can this be?!?!?!
To this day, the Orcs tell stories of Boromir OrcBane.
WELL SAID!!!!!
You going to make me cry
It is said that the Orcbane slew a thousand orcs by only his hand.
It is said that the Orcbane was pierced by a thousand arrows before he fell.
It’s fitting that the voice of the North, the spirit of Arnor, for now thought long past, provides the final lament for the passing of such a noble soul.
Boromir was the one to say you cannot simply march into Mordor.
It is my belief, that he could.
yesterday night I was walking home on the empty streets having the full moon and stars above me while listening to this - what a great walk that was.
propheccy feel you
Sure trust you, I can only imagine that feeling
I hereby move that all future viewings of The Fellowship of the Ring conclude with the viewing of this video. All those in favor?
Aye
Aye
AYE!
AYE!
Aye
I like how it says "His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought." And then it shows a picture of Boromir in the elven-boat with a perfectly intact sword and shield.
This song is my seccond favorite song of all the LOTR saga right under "Song of Durin". Boromir was accually my favorite character, he's so human. Even though he was taken by greed and coruption from the ring, he's love for the Gondor was so high.
In the end he made the right choice, its not your mistakes that count, but how you die
Actually he wasn't taken by greed and corruption. He was taken by fear and despair. You see Gondor was in war with the orcs for years probably decades. And Boromir was at the centre of it. He has seen first hand what the might of Sauron is. And he believed that none can fight that might. So he saw the ring as weapon that Gondor needed.....
It was only when I reread he books that I realized how much I loved Boromir. He was tempted and fell but then rose again and laid down his life in defense of his friends and companions. The movies didn't do him justice.
Same except I think the movies did him justice.
I'm really curious how you came to this conclusion.
I am just reading the books for my 1st time and recently completed Fellowship. His death is actually the beginning of Two Towers, and we come from Aragorn's perspective who shows up after the orcs have left. Boromir's last stand is then only mentioned briefly.
The movies, however, show him fighting front and center protecting Merry and Pippin.
How could one ever die in a more noble fashion than defending the defenseless?
I like the fact, that the characters are just singing to each other and then this singing choir comes in and sounds so epic
Just a masterpiece!
The North wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor... chills
I love how you "talk" with each other through this song. It makes it even better (and sadder).
One of my dogs just died in my arms yesterday, after a long fight trying to survive. I put this song for him...
Nooo 😭
Your dog is with
... God in heaven
I remember reading the Lord Of The Rings at the age of 10, and feeling like a punch in the gut when Boromir died.
And while reading those lines, and imagening the scene, I felt also a weird magic in the air, deep sorrow for the mighty who fallen, yet a mysterious, almost toxicating calmness and joy.
I had those same feelings now, while listening to that song, and looking a the pictures.
Go in peace, son of Gondor. Waiting for your arrival from the White Tower, but will never return.
Thrórin hernandez now I'm gonna cry
The mightiest man may be slain with one arrow, but Boromir was pierced by many
You, the group that are making this music into existence, are a group of genius. You're a gem of this world, more so than you probably realize yourselves
As always, you guys are AMAZING
Tolkien would be proud
So what now? Song of Beren and Luthien, The fall of Gil-Galad, or maybe something else?
Oooo, the Fall of Gil-Galad is a favorite of mine.
yeah, it is nice, but ther versions that can be currently found on yt, in my opinion, are not meeting the lyrics potential
how about the "King beneath the Mountains" to complete the Dwarven Songs... or "Chip the glasses and crack the plates"
Want me to callGotrek Gurnisson?
Yes, Gil-Galad please!
Boromir was so loved that even the winds themselves sung for him. For even the greatest of heroes have flaws and so we cannot judge them too harshly.
I'm so happy to see the CDP songs becoming so popular over the years, this incredible art really deserves to reach this many people.
Crying I absolutely love this song you guys did it so well.
As a odd and lonely kid I pretty much lived in middle earth in my mind and rambling the 1st time I read Boromirs death I cryed for days as he reminded me of my father a lot who was in Vietnam and by the time I came along only a security guard but in my mind he was this big strong worrior who battled in a grate battle and now kept the steelworks and mines safe again in my mind the steelworks and mines were like the misty mountains or mordor. It probably didn't help that my dad read me fantasy books ever since I was born the 1st being the hobbit and my earliest memory is walking around with this tattered old hobbit book looking for my dad. Boromir might not have been the smartest or most resilient man when it came to the ring but that's some of the reasons he was more like my farther than any other man in the lotr my father wasn't overly smart but had a lot of street smarts I guess and he had his own demons as Boromir had the ring my farther had his past and a drink.
"-and what's about the east wind?
-gondor's men dont ask news from the east wind."
This hits so hard.
I consider Boromir my favourite character in all the books I read. I'm crying because this is such a perfect adaptation, exactly as it should have been in the book.
“But now Boromir has taken his road, and we must make haste to choose our own...”
I wish I could thumb this up more than once, that's how good this is. Especially the North Wind part is just chilling.
Like an old man with too much winters on his shoulders.
My favorite part as well.
I would have followed you my brother, my captain, my king
Boromir may not have been the perfect character, but he was the most human.😢
As I was listening, the skies began raining. Surely, the Earth weeps for Boromir.
Or something. A bit of coincidence, is all.
"We endure wind from the east. We do not ask its tidings."
This channel is pure gold, you deserve at least ten times your subscribers! I have finally seen my favourite parts of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit come to life, the parts they neglected in the movies; the parts that made me love that work. Keep it up, huge applause from Italy. That female voice, whoever it belongs to, adds a wonderful touch, it would be a pleasure to hear it lots of times again!!
Ansemthewise94 ah ma allora non sono l'unico italiano che li ascolta :D
Hai perfettamente ragione, ADORO, sono contento che in italia non sono l'unico fan che capisce la bellezza di queste poesie/canzoni
Gli italiani applaudono meglio :)
La parte che intendi tu è cantata da un ragazzino.
@Marysol Alvarez it does indeed belong to a young woman, of 17 years.
Boromir, captain of Gondor.
stlurz - Faramir was captain. Boromir was general. In 2 towers Faramir sad: Boromir was our general...
Yet he used "Captain" interchangably for all other titles, to he is correct to say that.
Ae Norist in czech translation is general
And thats factually right, but in the english original he uses "captain" as a general honorific for military leaders (of various gondorians).
yes, like how legolas refers to Prince Imrahil as a great captain of men
I sobbed so hard during my first playthrough of his final battle on LotRO... Namárië, son of Gondor.
Same here. 😭
I have watched this so many times, and I still cry. Sean Bean portrayed Boromir brilliantly. Thank you.
"They will look for him from the White Tower, but he will not return from mountain or from sea"
To those brave soldiers who were deployed, but never returned.
Didn't think much when I first heard this, but now it's really growing on me. Love 5:49 onwards, it just sounds so mellow and beautiful.
My thoughts exactly. And I get chills from "rauros golden raus falls"...
The first CDP song I ever heard... still gives me shivers and tears EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. And Boromir isn't even my top fave character.
Reading Of Nirnaeth Adroniad in the Silmarillion while listening to this song. At Fingon's death a few tears came out.
The melody of the call and that of the Wind’s response harmonize with each other surprisingly well.
You guys are awesome. Thank you for your work. Really immersive music. You can get lost in middle earth with it.
What is going through the heads of the people who disliked the video? Its beautiful, glorious, and very true to the emotions of the characters.
Why am I crying?
Well, you see, when something stimulates the tear ducts, can be anything from sad songs/videos/events to just having dry eyes, it causes tears to well and run down your face. A sad song will cause sobbing to turn those tears into full blown crying. :P
"I will not say "do not weep", for not all tears are an evil....."
It is just raining.
Because it's Boromirs death and an awesome song
I'm not crying, you're crying! :(
This brings a tear to my eye, and I don't know quite why. I never really liked Boromir in the books or movies if I am being honest. But the more I listen to this, and the more I go back through the Lord of the Rings the more I appreciate Tolkien's subtle intuition into human nature. And indeed, the more I like Boromir.
Boromir the Fair, the Bold, The Tall, felled by nay one, nay two, but three black arrows of Uruk-hai...may your fair Visage be remembered evermore
This is the best version of the Lament for boromir, much respect and love to you and you're family for doing these.
Love to hear yous singing this in person one day in the near future.
Don't ever stop creating these! You have a true gift! With thanks from Russia
Many people who criticize Tolkein's work do so for the black v. white nature of it. Good versus evil, nothing in between. To those critics I say one word: "Boromir." Very much a character firmly fixed in the gray area of Tolkein's world, and I love him for that.
I dont think anyone could have portrayed Boromir on the big screen better than Sean Bean...he brought such a strength to a character that even for the people who watched the movie and were not familiar with the books, they understood his character so well
I found this channel nearly 3 years ago when I was looking for the full misty mountains cold song. Nearly 2 years ago, my 6 month old daughter didnt want to listen to misty anymore. We moved to the song of durin for like a month. We then moved to this one. This song has been listened to so much I know it by heart. To this day if she is really upset or needs to relax for a nap we put it on and she comes and cuddles up to my chest to listen. Thank you for making, in my opinion, a master piece of music from Tolkien's work.
Year later: still get her to sleep using it. And song of durin too. Bith are great hymns for lullabies.
Whole song is great, but when the "North Wind" sings "Rauros... Golden Rauros Falls, bore him upon its breast" just gives me the chills every time
Boromir is easily the character I related to the most out of all the Fellowship. He doubts and struggles with himself, wanting to ensure that his people see another day. Despair sets in when it is clear that no might or will of man can avail against the inevitable, so when a chance is given, why should he not take it, so small it may seem? Surely no evil can come of good intentions?
I've struggled and fallen more times than I can count. I've shamed myself and disappointed those who know I am better. I've bargained with evil, reasoning that the end will bear out the means. And I've learned the folly of my own pride and arrogance. No good deed will wash out the bad, but I can still live each day trying to make amends.
I can only hope that when I reach the end, I face it like Boromir: honorably.
I just realized- Aragorn sings the bits about the north wind and the west wind because his ancestors came from the west and his home is in the north
Woah! I didn't even expect another release so soon. That's awesome!
Honestly brought tears to my eyes...!
What a massive impact of emotions.
Thank You so very much for this Wonderful Masterpiece!

I still remember first hearing this music on the very day after my grandfather died, and still being listening to it when they told me the news... I just downloaded it on my cell, and heard it on my headphones thoughout the entire funeral. Every now and then, I still come back to hear it again, and just feel all the raw nostalgia of the memories of him.
Keep up the good work, guys.
This is my absolute favorite song. Not on this channel or on UA-cam, but of all time.
I'm not even that big a LOTR fan but closing my eyes and taking the time to quietly hum this song to myself from beginning to end when I'm having a bad day has yet to fail to calm me down with it's slow, deliberate pace.
Boromir is my favorite member of the fellowship, without a doubt.
This group is literally my favorite musical group right now! I love all you Tolkien works! Keep it up y'all!
every one of your songs from tolkien's poems gives me goosebumps when I listen to it. absolutely amazing work. rip boromir
"Rauros, golden Rauros falls" - I could listen to that line all day.
This is so perfectly suited to the books, I've been listening to it non stop all day.

Awesome!! you guys are simply amazing. i enjoyed all of your songs!
Oh, how can I thank you enough for this?
I subscribed to your channel recently and just happened to look up "lament for Boromir" tonight. How great my joy to see you've done a cover of it.
It's so beautiful, it brought tears back to my eyes. The voices are so beautiful, and the notes and the orchestration. The dark sound is so mournful. The text and the images are so fitting and do honor to Boromir and bring back every noble memory of him. I will always cherish this version of the lament. Thank you.
man you guys are knocking these out of the park. Found you guys this morning when your Durins song came accross my feed. been listening to your music for a solid half hour now. absolutely blown away!
Once again an epic piece of music comes our way from you guys, thanks for the great content :) !
Why can I like it only once?
Beautiful, as always. I could immerse myself in your music and never need come up for breath.
This right here is why you guys are my favorite composers. Beat composition yet guys! Thank you so much for what you do.
Time to recommend this to every friend I have who has read The Lord of the Rings! Excellent interpretation of this song!
I enjoyed it. Thank you guys, you're awesome, you made me cry!
That was amazing. Thank you. I felt this one very deeply.
Dude... I was listening to this while reading for the first time the Lament for Boromir in the two towers, (different language but still) I came close to crying, such a thing happened to me no more than 2 times. You truly are great.
Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought. His cloven shield, His broken sword, They to the water brought... My favorite verse. Be at peace son of Gondor
