Thanks for listening, everyone!

Colm... There are 29 people waiting 18 hours before your premiere. You are phenomenonal. My auditory processing is extremely sensitive, auto tune literally sets my teeth on edge.. I couldn't listen to you if you used it. Place your value and your trust in those who recognise your genuine brilliance, talent, dedication to your art and hard work, those who value you.
I just love how Tolkien was so thorough that it's possible to reverse engineer Khuzdul from the scattered fragments shared with us throughout his works, and the only thing that would differ between Khuzdul and Neo-Khuzdul is the roots we never saw.
You cant make a living language out of it unfortunatly, same with the two flavours of elvish, but there's enough there you could piece together a legitimate conversation
@@arthour051 Actually for Neo-Khuzdul, you could! Seriously. The Dwarrow Scholar welcomes you to try to find incomplete parts of the language. All that remains is for people to learn it.
@@LeonaPrime I would be surprised if Tolkien had left complete notes for a full, living dwarvish language, when we know he didnt for elvish, given how important elvish is for the entire lore in LotR?
@@arthour051 Maybe he didn't, but he wanted people to continue to add their own creations to middle earth. It's up to us now to make them true languages.
@@porcelainpup Bro, I'm overreacting? being a deranged lune is not a joke, my brothers wife is a phycologist so I know everything about phsycology there is to knowledge. I know someone who needs aid when I see one.
This is truly amazing. Perhaps a bigger deal than people think it is. Khuzdul is a very secretive language. They do not share it with outsiders. A single elf was taught the language in the first age, and this was considered a unique honor of untold worth, that even the elven kings were not given. Certainly nothing that was ever heard by human ears. I'm just picturing it, deep, deep within the mountain, this song echoing through the halls. Chills my spine just imagining it.
Ok but imagine you are in a human army fighting dwarves and they all start singing really loudly in Khuzdul , that means they don't expect any of you to survive to tell how it sounds.
Just imagining a campaign of DnD, where the party is deep into the mines of an abandoned Dwarf settlement, and splicing this in as whispers in the background music. "They say that even now, years hence the Dwarfs abandoned the mountain, you can still hear their song echoing in the hallowed shafts to the core."
I already posted the dwarvish version of diggy diggy hole once in the past,but it didn't get that much likes so it got lost in comments... However since you asked for it,I reposted it under Jonathan Young's post.
"And suddenly first one and then another began to sing as they played, deep-throated singing of the dwarves in the deep places of their ancient homes; and this is like a fragment of their song, if it can be like their song without their music. [...] As they sang the hobbit felt the love of beautiful things made by hands and by cunning and by magic moving through him, a fierce and jealous love, the desire of the hearts of dwarves. Then something Tookish woke up inside him, and he wished to go and see the great mountains, and hear the pine-trees and the waterfalls, and explore the caves, and wear a sword instead of a walking-stick. He looked out of the window. The stars were out in a dark sky above the trees. He thought of the jewels of the dwarves shining in dark caverns. Suddenly in the wood beyond The Water a flame leapt up - probably somebody lighting a wood-fire - and he thought of plundering dragons settling on his quiet Hill and kindling it all to flames. He shuddered." I always liked the vivid description in this scene, but listening to you makes me _feel_ what Bilbo felt. This is the greatest compliment I can give.
This version gives me chills. The fact that i do not understand the lyrics anymore creates that mysterious and foggy atmosphere, but the emotions are still very perceptible. That deep and ancient chant really gains power when it keeps its secrets !
That "not understanding the lyrics, but the emotion is there" part is why Gaelic (which neither me nor my players understand) is Elvish at our table. Most Gaelic folk carries exactly the kind of ethereal charm that I'd expect of Elvish music.
With stone, they shaped the pipes. With pipes, they shaped the wind. With wind, they shaped the fire. With fire, they shaped the steel. With steel, they shaped the mountains. With mountains, they shaped their empires. And their empires shaped the world. A dwarf knows how each stone can shape the world, each grain in the iron its own kingdom. To be a dwarf is to be a god in his workshop, for creation is limited by naught but the strength of one's arm and the sweat of one's brow.
I read the description, but it didn't occur to me that "in Dwarvish" means "in Dwarvish" so it was a beautiful surprise (resulting in a goofy grin for the rest of the song) as soon as I realized it's "not English." I love this version of it!
"And as the dwarves fire the pyre, their people, the hundreds of corpses burning under the full moon, a song - sad, yet powerful, griefing, yet defiant - fills the air around the flames." Damn, that was a good scene in my DnD campaign. This song came out literally days before the session. Thanks Colm. Absolute MVP.
I'm so curious to know what kind of campaign this belongs to? Did the group help the dwarves defend against some sort of assault or did something terrible happen to ignite such defiant feelings in them
I done almost cried listening to this version of Misty Mountains Cold. You did it justice and I'm humbled to know that you spent God knows how many hours learning Khuzdul just to do this rendition of the song! Hats off to you Colm!! Greetings from America!
Listening to this makes me picture a Dwarven bard among a band of adventurers. They drink, laugh, cheer, journey to places unseen by the meek. Then night falls. The fire is warm. The food is comforting. There is a chill in the breeze. The Dwarf knows this well. He has smelled this air before, back home in the mountainside. A hum builds in his throat. Conversation dies down as all pay heed to the Dwarven bard. He sings, neither smile nor frown upon his face. His voice rumbles like rolling boulders. His eyes glow in the firelight, twin ingots of iron and steel. Only stone is his equal. All pay heed to the Mountain Bard.
IN DWARVISH!! YESSSSS! Tolkien himself is smiling already. Also, where did you find dwarvish to learn? I would love to pick it up. Heck, I would learn it just so I could translate all of the verses for you to sing.
From the info I've found dwarfish is based off of hebrew and used runes as letters. The three versions of elvish is based off of Finnish, and sadly I don't remember what the language of men is based off of or the language of hobbits for that matter.
At my gym we have a weight room ,free weights only, pretty hard core . The trainer at the desk down there made a mix Playlist of your songs. He tells me " Hey watch this" , as he plays it everyone start lifting ,slower , better formed and real concentration... Thank you.
A voice so deep that Balrog would have to dig to get to it. And so beautiful that Durin himself would like to imbue it into the purest diamond ever found.
You know that feeling you get when you drive really fast down a hilly road and your stomach flips? Yeah, that's the exact same feeling I got when I read this video title. I'm WAY too excited!
Wow every time I listen to a new song, I am flabbergasted with the sound that comes out of your mouth. My sister will not believe that a single person can do all this. You are truly blessed. Thank you for blessing us.
This is SO COOL, and ludicrously nerdy in just the best possible way. The Dwarvish (Neo-Khuzdul, as you pointed out ; D ) suits it so beautifully I would be over the moon if you did a version like this for the Rankin & Bass version of the song, from the old animated The Hobbit--it's the version of the song I grew up, and it's beautiful and haunting and definitely an inspiration for the Peter Jackson's take on the song!!
Oh my… you’re gonna make someone cry, Colm! I know for a fact this will be outstanding and aweinspiring and now I’m truly motivated for school tm to quickly get it over with!! Thank you ❤️
The melody of Misty Mountains combined with its lyrics is already an epic piece of music. Many awesome and beautiful versions were made by a great variety of singers (female and male, acapella, choirs, single artist or duets). THIS version though ... my jaw dropped down and I was mesmerized. By only listening without the visuals, I'd believe dwarves exist from now on! It does not only sound like an aged dwarven skald in a great hall telling an ancient tale by sining it's story, it even feels like glowing iron cooling down slowly. Man, all thumbs up and x/x points! I deeply hope one day you'll do a full version of this. The song itself deserves your perfect fitting voice.
I am amazed, now I have a theme song for my dwarfen bard in our new Dungeons & Dragons campain. This is how imagined his perfomances. His name is Gordar „the bass“. Thank you!
Cheers, mate! Honestly, I’m relieved that there’s so little known about it, because that way, less people can critique my pronunciation, because there’s no real definitive examples 😂
I genuinely hope for everyone to have their most relaxing or most energetic weekends of all (whatever you prefer) and may your Toe Hair and Beards never cease to grow and sprout! Love this community so so damn much ❤️ I can’t thank you enough Colm! These premieres are making my weeks and I love you and all of them here for it! Keep well and Cheers, friends!
Your Voice just makes me goosebumps. Some people get their voice from their throat, other say its from their chest, but your must come frome somewhere way deeper. I´m so impressed.
This man... This man is officially a legend in my eyes. Edit: After seeing someone suggest watching a different video at 1.25x speed, I came back to this one for the same thing. And I love it. It adds an energy to it and a lightness that I feel reflects the more triumphant and determined stance I feel the dwarves had when they finally had hope of reclaiming the mountain.
Durin bless your hands, your house, and your voice with gold and great renown, good sir! This is quite possibly the first Khuzdul song ever heard, and it is properly epic!
absolutely tragic that some people will never experience the joy of listening to Tolkien done in bass by a man in a beautiful sweater who also plays all the instruments
Absolutely beautiful!! As a long time fan of Tolkien I am so glad to finally hear this song in native dwarvish and not the common westron language of men. As a long time player of dungeons and dragons I will definitely be playing this as background music for my dwarven warrior 👍
Oh-My-Gawd!!! Mr. Colm, I already was your fan but after THIS cover, and in khuzdul no less, I just became an über fan of your work and your voice!!! Thanks for this!!! My geeky, Tolkien-loving, fantasy language-learning brain loves you!
This might well have been one of the most intense things I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of voices in my day. HOWEVER, the low-end rumbling McGuinness is producing here was both terrifying and oddly hypnotic. Plus, with the help of the lyric provided, I was able to pick everything out with painstaking clarity. Mr. McGuinness, somewhere out there is a brutal death metal band desperately looking for a front man with a voice like yours, and no; that's not a joke, nor am I being hateful or facetious. Deadly serious; I've never been so scared and so entranced at the same time. Wow.
What makes this so incredible to me is not only the tone mastery, as deep as it goes, but also the tongue rolling and pronunciation for a fictional language! True dedication to actualize a vision!
Wow just incredible. Big tolkein fan here so any new addition is great. Would love to hear your take on some elvish or other tolkein song in its original tongue. But I really think your deep voice is so suited to the relm of dwarves and men.
Music like this is so much of a help for me in writing my own fantasy world. Not only do I think of Dwarves but an ancient Nordic kingdom. A land of heroes
Wow, Colm!! I just really love hearing the sound of you singing the lyrics of my favorite song from the Hobbit Trilogy in Dwarvish. In fact, it makes me feel like I am learning the language from this video. This cover what I love calling handsome. ❤❤❤
oh wauw.... just wauw... this is amazing. I've been loving the recent 'native tongue' versions of the songs it sounds amazing and your voice amplifies the epicness of it all. I would be really interrested to hear 'Ornn, the fire below the mountain' in your voice
She heard the song in a dream. Perhaps it was only her imagination running wild again, but Kirsi couldn’t stop thinking of it.. couldn’t stop HEARING it. She rolled over in her bedroll, the deep tones still echoing in her head. She stared at the mountain looming before them, a blood-red sun just rising behind it. She shivered, not knowing if it was the chilly morning air or her dream’s images. A burning village. A dragon with bright golden scales soaring and circling a mountain just like that one. The deep, mysterious, and mournful singing in a language she both understood and at the same time did not. Then the feeling began to leave her, so the bard hurriedly sat up; humming the melody and not even attempting the words as she scrabbled in the orange light for her notebook and a charcoal pencil. She drew the mountain. A dragon, and a burning village below. She sat there, humming the ethereal melody until the rest of the party awoke around her and asked what she was doing. She would not soon forget this dream. -Hope everyone is having a lovely day/night out there! I know i’m late to commenting but this song is too good to not write about. Amazing work Colm! Keep up the AWESOME content but don’t work too hard! -
By me beard! This is an art! Pure as starlight! Shining as gold! Swear it on rock and stone, with my kin as witness! Bless ya laddie! More! Give us whole one!
Fantastic! I really like the choices that separate this rendition from the others, not even including the Dwarven. First, your intro humming had so many layers and you blended them instead of clearly separating the notes. Second, your ending featuring an instrumental instead of just a bassy note was awesome. There's more, but mostly that you're handsome yerself!! Thanks Colm!
A quiet fire place with Dwarven travelers, on a cold lonely mountain, as they sing, the fire shapes their story before our very eyes. They’re triumphs, their struggles, and their fight, as they camp on this this cold lonely mountain.
So I decided to play this full blast this morning to wake my kids up and it worked like a charm. Scared everyone LoL. Even scared my wife last night when I waited until she went to sleep and played it. Thank you bro that voice is amazing that's a legendary skill right there.
That's a Heafty order/wish.... But the results would Shake the Loney Mountain to it's Core. That Dale will shake to a new age. Even smugs watery corpse will turn to seaweed
I'm dying just listening to this! I love it so much! Can we get a full version? Or some more LOTR/ hobbit songs in dwarvish, elvish, or the other languages? And as an aspiring bass singer you are my idol Colm. Just wanted to share this. Thank you!

Just don’t go too deep for the horrors awaits.
"And as the dwarves fire the pyre, their people, the hundreds of corpses burning under the full moon, a song - sad, yet powerful, griefing, yet defiant - fills the air around the flames."

I genuinely hope for everyone to have their most relaxing or most energetic weekends of all (whatever you prefer) and may your Toe Hair and Beards never cease to grow and sprout! Love this community so so damn much ❤️ I can’t thank you enough Colm! These premieres are making my weeks and I love you and all of them here for it! Keep well and Cheers, friends!
Your Voice just makes me goosebumps. Some people get their voice from their throat, other say its from their chest, but your must come frome somewhere way deeper. I´m so impressed.
This man... This man is officially a legend in my eyes.
Edit: After seeing someone suggest watching a different video at 1.25x speed, I came back to this one for the same thing. And I love it. It adds an energy to it and a lightness that I feel reflects the more triumphant and determined stance I feel the dwarves had when they finally had hope of reclaiming the mountain.
4am? Really? Wow... Right. Insane dedication to an amazing vocalist it is 🙂
Okay, I'm seriously impressed and I haven't even heard it yet.
Durin bless your hands, your house, and your voice with gold and great renown, good sir! This is quite possibly the first Khuzdul song ever heard, and it is properly epic!
*Hail Mighty Durin*
I love this so much i'm lost for words, khuzdul or common. A masterpice for the ages, taller than mountains, brighter than silmarils.
Smaug: **I** HAVE THE DEEPEST VOICE UNDER THE MOUNTAIN!
Colm: _exists_
Can't wait! Would love to here you Sing Joli Rouge.
absolutely tragic that some people will never experience the joy of listening to Tolkien done in bass by a man in a beautiful sweater who also plays all the instruments
0:34 OH MY GOD BRO UR VOICE IS JUS SO DEEP i honestly cant believe it this literally gave me goosebumps lol
I left some iron ore by the speaker and after this was over, the iron had extracted itself. Fantastic.
Absolutely beautiful!! As a long time fan of Tolkien I am so glad to finally hear this song in native dwarvish and not the common westron language of men. As a long time player of dungeons and dragons I will definitely be playing this as background music for my dwarven warrior 👍
The dedication to learn the words in a whole nother language and still make it sound so damn good and epic
Oh-My-Gawd!!! Mr. Colm, I already was your fan but after THIS cover, and in khuzdul no less, I just became an über fan of your work and your voice!!! Thanks for this!!! My geeky, Tolkien-loving, fantasy language-learning brain loves you!
Red is the rose would be a cool song to do, also I wish I was able to sing as deep as you it is chilling how good it sounds.
This guy is just a lvl 20 bard vibing on the Internet
This might well have been one of the most intense things I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of voices in my day. HOWEVER, the low-end rumbling McGuinness is producing here was both terrifying and oddly hypnotic. Plus, with the help of the lyric provided, I was able to pick everything out with painstaking clarity. Mr. McGuinness, somewhere out there is a brutal death metal band desperately looking for a front man with a voice like yours, and no; that's not a joke, nor am I being hateful or facetious. Deadly serious; I've never been so scared and so entranced at the same time. Wow.
Pure perfection. The way the song was MEANT to be played! VERY well done!
What makes this so incredible to me is not only the tone mastery, as deep as it goes, but also the tongue rolling and pronunciation for a fictional language! True dedication to actualize a vision!
Wow just incredible. Big tolkein fan here so any new addition is great.
Would love to hear your take on some elvish or other tolkein song in its original tongue. But I really think your deep voice is so suited to the relm of dwarves and men.
Man's just awoke the giants
This voice makes my heart explode!!!!!
Music like this is so much of a help for me in writing my own fantasy world. Not only do I think of Dwarves but an ancient Nordic kingdom. A land of heroes
This will be astounding! Deep base as it should be!
Thank you for sharing a beautiful rendition of this ancient tune.
OH MY GOD I was not expecting that voice! You have the singing voice of a glorious old black Santa
May the stone always resonate with you. Beautiful.
Wow, Colm!! I just really love hearing the sound of you singing the lyrics of my favorite song from the Hobbit Trilogy in Dwarvish. In fact, it makes me feel like I am learning the language from this video. This cover what I love calling handsome. ❤❤❤
oh wauw.... just wauw... this is amazing. I've been loving the recent 'native tongue' versions of the songs it sounds amazing and your voice amplifies the epicness of it all.
I would be really interrested to hear 'Ornn, the fire below the mountain' in your voice
She heard the song in a dream.
Perhaps it was only her imagination running wild again, but Kirsi couldn’t stop thinking of it.. couldn’t stop HEARING it. She rolled over in her bedroll, the deep tones still echoing in her head.
She stared at the mountain looming before them, a blood-red sun just rising behind it. She shivered, not knowing if it was the chilly morning air or her dream’s images.
A burning village. A dragon with bright golden scales soaring and circling a mountain just like that one. The deep, mysterious, and mournful singing in a language she both understood and at the same time did not.
Then the feeling began to leave her, so the bard hurriedly sat up; humming the melody and not even attempting the words as she scrabbled in the orange light for her notebook and a charcoal pencil.
She drew the mountain. A dragon, and a burning village below. She sat there, humming the ethereal melody until the rest of the party awoke around her and asked what she was doing. She would not soon forget this dream.
-Hope everyone is having a lovely day/night out there! I know i’m late to commenting but this song is too good to not write about.
Amazing work Colm! Keep up the AWESOME content but don’t work too hard! -
By me beard! This is an art! Pure as starlight! Shining as gold! Swear it on rock and stone, with my kin as witness! Bless ya laddie! More! Give us whole one!
Holy shit...basso profundo voice singing in Dwarvish??? I just got major chills and it's 73 degrees F in my apt. Soooo amazing!
Oh my, this one will definately be on a different level. Can't wait to hear it:)
(a cover for the last goodbye from the hobbit would be awesome)
Oh my! This is going to be epic! I'm so hyped for this, it's impossible to put into writing!! 😍🥰
Edit: Wow chills! This was so so great! Thank you!
Fantastic! I really like the choices that separate this rendition from the others, not even including the Dwarven. First, your intro humming had so many layers and you blended them instead of clearly separating the notes. Second, your ending featuring an instrumental instead of just a bassy note was awesome. There's more, but mostly that you're handsome yerself!! Thanks Colm!
Best version hands down
First note hit…
My reaction: “GOD DAMN!”
This needs dwarf visuals. For sure a new staple in tolkien fandom!
A quiet fire place with Dwarven travelers, on a cold lonely mountain, as they sing, the fire shapes their story before our very eyes. They’re triumphs, their struggles, and their fight, as they camp on this this cold lonely mountain.
Тот момент когда сам Толкиен блаженно улыбается в своем гробу :)
Listening to this at 1 a.m and it's giving me goosebumps . Just amazing 💯
bro, i believe we all would love a full translated version of the Misty mountains, as this was just too good to be this short!
This just amazing.
And it sounds exactly like I imagine it would.
I can feel the Misty Mountains trembling with this one. 🏔 ✨ Wow.
So I decided to play this full blast this morning to wake my kids up and it worked like a charm. Scared everyone LoL. Even scared my wife last night when I waited until she went to sleep and played it. Thank you bro that voice is amazing that's a legendary skill right there.
Absolutely brilliant! I can't stop smiling! Bravo!🌹
Oh my god his voice is so deep my lawd COLM IS THE NEW JESUS/ZEUS
My friend. Your voice is two dungeons deep.
Удивительный голос, давно смотрю ролики и не перестаю удивляться. Автор молодец, аж мурашки по коже!
To petition for the whole song in dwarvish, hit the thumbs up.
durin's blessing upon mine beard, this is amazing! i do hope you will do a full version of the song, and who knows...perhaps one day durin's song?
That's a Heafty order/wish.... But the results would Shake the Loney Mountain to it's Core. That Dale will shake to a new age. Even smugs watery corpse will turn to seaweed
When you started singing in Khuzdul... my word that shook me, beautiful
STOP IT I HAVE CHILLS THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I AM A BIG FAN OF LOTR MOVIES AND BOOKS. I SAW ALL THOSE MOVIES AND READ ALL OF THOSE BOOKS.
Methinks that Tolkien himself would approve. Marvelous!
Feelings deep into the bone, like some old norse songs...
I just got chills listening to this. Excellent job!
This could've been what Bilbo heard around his fire...
Eeeeeevery time you hit those low notes it floors me. It really blows me away.
Why does this capture the Tolkien Dwarvish vibes ten million times better than the Hobbit movies
I'm dying just listening to this! I love it so much! Can we get a full version? Or some more LOTR/ hobbit songs in dwarvish, elvish, or the other languages? And as an aspiring bass singer you are my idol Colm. Just wanted to share this. Thank you!
I don't often get chills when listening to music, but I did on this one. Absolutely amazing Colm! Definitely going on my playlist!
Holy fuck, every time the vocals start, I just damn near faint from the eatherial goodness that is your voice...
This is a religious experience, hearing it as it was meant to be sung! Mahal be praised! Du bekar, Khazâd ai mênu!
