Hi friends! I have new merch out now if you wanna take a look and be stylish with me :) shopmalinda.com/
Thank you for all the folksy love these days!! I'm working on a folk EP that should be out soon. :D
Your voice is just incredible, I'm so jealous... 😔❤️
:D
absolutely incredible, amazing voice,
ps: check your title
LOTR ;-)
When will we get a new google translate video by you
Am I the only one who wants a whole series of "but make it siren and mermaid-y" songs?
We wants it! Give it to us, Precious!!
Meeeeeeee :D
I wish Madinda does a duo with Lauren in her stairwell.
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!
No sir, you are not the only one
My dad read me the LOTR books when I was younger. When the movies came out we were so excited. We watched them all in the theatre together and then got the dvds for each other for holidays. He passed away at the end of last month. I miss him. This is a beautiful tribute to him, Malinda. Thank you. 💔💙
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss. Those sound like lovely memories...hang on to those and remember the good times.
I’m sorry for your loss. Keep those precious memories close. Wish you the best!
Sorry for your loss. Remember you will see him again in the West.
Bilbo's Last Song
Day is ended, dim my eyes,
but journey long before me lies.
Farewell, friends! I hear the call.
The ship's beside the stony wall.
Foam is white and waves are grey;
beyond the sunset leads my way.
Foam is salt, the wind is free;
I hear the rising of the Sea.
Farewell, friends! The sails are set,
the wind is east, the moorings fret.
Shadows long before me lie,
beneath the ever-bending sky,
but islands lie behind the Sun
that I shall raise ere all is done;
lands there are to west of West,
where night is quiet and sleep is rest.
Guided by the Lonely Star,
beyond the utmost harbour-bar,
I'll find the havens fair and free,
and beaches of the Starlit Sea.
Ship, my ship! I seek the West,
and fields and mountains ever blest.
Farewell to Middle-earth at last.
I see the Star above my mast!
@@fabianhartendorf9609, I remember crying when we read that part. Thank you for this. Seriously. Thank you. 💙
I don't understand why all the film production companies haven't hired you by now. You are magical.
Magical is so descriptive, I have been looking for the right word. Thank you.
I agree! Why haven't Games of Throne picked this gem up!
Beautiful!
Maybe she's not ready to sell her soul
@@fanboy270 well said friend
I have heard this song sung by men, by men and dwarves, and in the Dwarven tongue (kinda). This is the first I've heard it sung by an Elf. And I am truly humbled.
Try Lauren Paley! She's amazing as well! She's also an elf!
Sure is
that is exactly what i thought
elf confirmed.
male elf; veryveryvinny, a countertenor. he also sings it with dwarf bobbybass.
Last time I was here this early, Morgoth wasn't fallen.
You win the Interwebz! 👍
Last I was here this early, Melkor hadn't sung dischord into the Song of the Ainur...
@oliver admiston are you Tom Bombadil?
*Morgoth hadn't fallen
Grammar nazgul here
Old Tom bombadil is a merry fellow, bright blue his jacket and his boots are yellow. None have ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the master, his songs are stronger and his feet are faster
She could make "They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard" sound like a magical Gaelic reel! Lol
I need this.
I need it now.
GIVE IT TO ME!
Heck, she could sing "Where's there's a whip, there's a way" and make it sound profound.
Or Kinky? What are female orcs into?
oml- YES-
WE NEED THIS
It's not often that this happens, but your voice took my breath away and made me cry. You have one of the most amazing voices that I've heard in a very long time. I've been a vocal musician all my life and It's rare that I get emotional. I would love to purchase some of your music. You deserve your own contract. In my opinion, you should've been the one to sing the opening to outlander. Thank you so much for sharing your voice with us
Exactly
True
Non sono un musicista ma mi affascinano le belle voci , quella di Malinda è un caso a sé , mi incanta in modo unico e mi fa lo stesso effetto ogni volta che ascolto un suo brano anche più volte , è come una specie di magia
Absolutely agree. New fan here, and as something of a vocalist myself...I can most definitely tell a talent when I hear it. Gorgeous.
Ethereal and haunting. An absolutely beautiful rendition of this incredible song. Thank you.
I think I saw someone comment that already, but I feel like this is how it would sound like if this song was performed by an elvish singer, instead of dwarves.
Have you thought about covering some more Tolkien songs, either from the movies or the books? Because I am sure I would not be the only one who would love that to death!
C, no you're not.
Agree. Cant get too much elvish-tolkien songs. Its a ever burning itch that wont call to hearth and hall and leave the break of day.
"May it be" & "Into the west" ...
Respectfully disagree. I think this is what it would sound like echoing through mountain halls and distant caverns at a distance.
@@radagastdk what about the Italian girl who sang "Gollum's song?"
@@hurin_thalion11 you mean Emiliana Torrini?
So beautiful! Who else would like to hear her sing a cover of "My jolly sailor bold" by Ashley Sirena?
Oooooo yes!!!!
YEEES!!! That’s actually one of my top three favorite songs
PLEASE!!!!!!
100% Malinda would absolutely crush that.
yes!!!
This is definitely singing to my Irish roots, it's like my gran singing to me when I was a little one. It's like coming home to a nice warm blanket, and a warm embrace.
A few weeks ago I was in the mountains by myself on a ridge sitting there listening to this song with my longbow in my lap (was out stump shooting and hiking for the day and doing photography) and drinking some tea. Your music accompanies the solitude and solace of the purity of the mountains. Thank you for that.
i'm so jealous i want to do shooting and hiking and photography lmao
I'm curious why more people don't cover the entire song instead of just the two verses they did in the theatrical release of the movie. I'd love to hear you cover the dozen or more verses in the original book/supporting material.
Look up Clamavi de Profundus. They do the Entire thing.
I remember when I watched the first hobbit movie I had just read the hobbit and I was so disappointed when they skipped most of the song
@@nerdlord27 I've been subscribed to them basically since they covered the song. But I haven't seen many others do it.
Well that's likely cuz the movie only did those two. If they went through the entire thing, it wouldn't be exactly accurate of a cover. If they wrote their own version, like what the aforementioned band did, then I believe people that covered that version would cover the entire thing (MALINDA is just built genetically different).
@@realBlueMoonMusic On the contrary, I think it would be more accurate to cover the entire song, whether you count the published verses that made it into the book, or the additional verses that Clamavi de Profundis covered from Tolkein's unpublished notes, either would be more accurate. If a contemporary artist wrote a 6 minute song, and only a minute and 20 seconds of it was licensed for a movie, you wouldn't call it a "more accurate" cover if someone only sang those 80 seconds.
After having listened to this song from a vast number of low-pitch covers, this is the first time that I listen to this song from a woman's voice. In my humble opinion, what this female's cover transmits, is just pureness full of calm. Greetings from Mexico.
@@Raerae5121 Yes... I think that any voice's tone depends on the person's mood. But I agree that any kindly voice girl sounds better than a man's voice... but in some circumstances. Thank you for your comment. My best wishes for you happy Chirstmas holidays. Greetings from Mexico.
@@Raerae5121 Thank you !
There was another female vocalist several years ago who did the entire song, and beautifully at that. Her account recently disappeared. It was pretty much all personal/fun items from back in the days when UA-cam was just for fun, so it probably got shut down by one company or another getting mad that she showed a game or something.
@@diogenesbear oh, it is a shame that there are not any videos from her.
@@venturystar I downloaded a copy of the Misty Mountains a while back so I could listen to it while driving and not have to use data.
OK. This sounds like it was written! In the books these songs were meant to be old and mysterious because they are singing about things long since past. This is exactly the vibe that you gave it! Its kinda ghostly and sound like the background music for walking through a forgotten ruin. Just beautiful.
What a beautiful and haunting voice.
We have a lake near us that gets foggy at certain times of the year. I'm gonna go play this on some foggy moonlit night by the lake. Hopefully some randoms hear it. Hard to pinpoint sound in fog
That would be amazing!!
Just get a massive speaker so the whole lake hears is 😂
They might think they've heard a singing fey.
Would love to be there to hear it, idk, there is no words for the way it sounds, mystical 🦋🦋🦋🦋💜💚❤️❤️
Get a dingy, a lantern, and a powerful portable music system. Dress in black, then row out into the lake, raise the lantern, and play the song.
Can only imagine what it would sound like if you sung the Lament for Gandalf
I'm here for this
Or the song Aragorn sings at his coronation.
@@smolcreepercat851 that would be awesome too!!
I'd love to hear May It Be!
@@christinebutler7630 I think she did that.
Her voice is so beautiful and pure... I could listen to her all day long.
Okay...what? Wait... Oh. Wow. This performance is just beautiful. It is, once again, not quite what you'd expect, but it works on a number of levels. The female voice brings forward the story-telling dimension, and adds an aura of faerie mystery to the melody. It calls a timeless longing into the present moment. Thank you for this, Malinda.
And yes, I'd really love to hear you do the rest of the tunes from LotR: Aragorn's song, the Lament for Gandalf, even Pippin's "Edge of Night." It's an odd genre to explore, but if anyone could do something really new and fascinating with it, it would be Malinda.
Normally I'm a purist and so expect this song to be performed in deep bass male voices, but OMG ... this brought tears to my eyes. You are wonderful!
If you want bass, check out Geoff Castellucci’s covers, he deadass goes subharmonic
@@pokeyscorpion8224 same with Tim Foust
@@red5_skywalker also check Bobby bass
Pretty sure you could even make Leonard Nimoy’s Bilbo Baggins song sound great.
IT'S ALREADY GREAT
@@axessdenyd Thank you. Was about to take someone to school
Mentally built different
Don't disrespect the beautiful piece that was Bilbo Baggins by Leonard Nimoy
Oh gosh yes, I hope she does that one 😂😂😂
Amazing! Here’s a quote for you from Thorin himself: “There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”
Amazing Heavenly voice! You truly know how to use your beautiful voice like the musical instrument it was meant to be! What an ability!
I know. There is such a variety of musical expression. Every moment says something. Wonderful musician.
The title sounds dubious (taking the deep, Earth-element Dwarven song and making it Water-element and feminine), but HOLY SHIT, DOES IT EVER WORK!!! Isn't Amazon or Apple or someone making a new LOTR series or some such? They need you on their soundtrack. _Need_ you.
Please continue to be yourself and inspire us all, Malinda
Oh heavens. Heavenly days. I usually prefer a male chorus to sing this, but this rendition gave me 'le frisson'. I was SO glad there wasn't too much vibrato! Many sopranos think good singing must include as many wavery sloppy pitch notes as they can get away with. Excellent. Excellent.
I just love this women’s singing. I could listen to it all day.
It's not often where i a song catches me off guard and makes me cry....this was a pleasure to listen too.
got chills the second that first line was done...every time they go away they come right back....siren is right, this truly breathtaking...
A magical mermaid who charms people with her voice. I love your songs
Finding this artist...I feel like I've found a rare piece of art that only a select few have been able to experience. She is an amazing one of a kind. 💕
Exactly. Does she even realize this will last forever?
I would pay for her collection of her singing videos if she ever sold one. She has a remarkable voice and I honestly would support her by buying her DVD of all her music. She is amazing and hands down the prettiest siren of them all.
We need Malinda to do covers of Elder Scrolls songs: Dragonborn and Tale of the Tongues.
That would be good, maybe add Age of Aggression/Oppression to that list.
I would love that but until that happens malukah has a beautiful dragonborn cover
Yes yes yes
Malinda must do this, please please please
I just started yet another playthrough of Skyrim (my fourth, I believe). This time, as a female Dragonborn (I'm a guy, so I've always played a male character). I just wanted to see how the experience would differ. Malinda has given my character her voice. So, a Malinda rendition of The Dragonborn song would be most welcome. That said, however, Judith de los Santos, AKA Malukah, will be forever the True Bard of Skyrim.
To say that you have the voice of an angel is an understatement 🎼🎵🏆.
Angels want to sound like her.
@@mudkip4615 So true
It is all about IT. The music industry is littered with singers that are pitch perfect. What separates the real ones from the wanna be's is the emotion that you can express in your voice and take listeners on a musical journey. You got this Girl. You have IT.
Madam your voice is amazing and you really sound like a siren AWESOME WORK
Malinda can do anything with her voice.
Almost anything. She can't hit that last bass note like Tim Foust can, but that's okay. ;)
@@Hidden-Force true, her voice is seriously high pitched so...
@@Hidden-Force Nor can she boil water with her voice. Or fly. Or do a whole range of things that have nothing to do with vocal prowess. I think OP saying that she can do 'anything' with her voice is funny because I'm autistic and I take things a little too literally sometimes.
Your voice is beautiful, Malinda, and I appreciate the fact you superimposed the lyrics on the screen.
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard
I don't know why, but with your voice, something happens inside my and I immediately start crying when I listen to you... it's the most beautiful voice in the universe... I have never heard simething like this... absolute perfection and my heart goes crazy with it...
This is a weird mix between LOTR vibes and pirate vibes and I love it.
Edit: the word I’m looking for is Norse/Viking vibes
Kinda like celtic vibes
Tolkien was heavily inspired by Norse myths. The dragon sitting on its hoard comes from beowulf, and the names of all 13 Dwarfs plus Gandalf come from the Edda. Also, the way Gandalf is described is also a disguise Odin often used.
A voice like bells ringing. Calling from afar, pulling from somewhere deep within, an irresistible summoning.
Definitely a siren.
You have the most enchanting voice I've ever heard since Enya...stay golden pony girl...lol
Yes, her music/voice is like Enya.
This is magic! With everything going on in my life this has left me frozen and given me hope… ❤
Upon more listening, I just realized, this is what it would sound like, when the elves would attempt to sing the dwarves song. It totally fits the movie. And it sounds like you're in it. (The Hobbit, that is, because this is from The Hobbit)
I know this is a Dwarvish song, but it sounds better in Malinda’s Elvish style here. Awesome job, as always!
I Love the sound of Irish folks sounding voices. So ghostly, spiritual, wondrous, chilling, completely spell bounding ❤️❤️❤️
Just found this, and it's the best version of this out there. Love that it's all done against a drone, and just the way you sang "mountains" in the beginning, my jaw dropped, and stayed that way until the end. Love, Love, Love this!
Hello! Malinda I'm sure you get a lot of sweet, long messages (and you deserve them!) But I thought that might be a lil tedious at times so I'll keep it short: Everyone says how your voice is amazing, it is, but what's more than a match for it is your high spirits! It makes me smile watching you sing.😊❤
If I were stuck in a situation where my death was imminent and unescapable, I would listen to this version of this song and accept my fate - and be content. Thank you for sharing your talent.
your voice just stops me in my movements. its amazing. its a remarkable gift. sing on Malinda
Such a beautiful voice brings tears to my eyes so amazing
I never watched or read LOTR but this makes me want to. I gotta find the time to enjoy it like i enjoy hearing this cover.
what are u waiting for
This brought a tear to my eye. This is a beautiful cover of this song. Really did hit the siren aspect from the start
The most beautiful face and voice the world will ever know. Irish hypnosis. Memorizing
Amazingly beautiful.
It became different from the original song, it gained a more "found memory" tone to it, one that the defeat was already accepted, but still a bit too bitter to forget.
In my honest opinion, the lack of bass in it, makes it lose all the sorrow and sadness in it. It is not a song, it is a memory and grief, put together in musical notes, where the bitterness of defeat is still very much present and alive, as the day Smaug have destroyed the Erebor.
Damn, that chromatic embellishment at 1:02 was absolutely fire. Really fitting in this style, your harmonic minor embellishments really pull from ancient Aegean music where mermaid myths originally come from. Wow. Also the pedal tone contrasted by your incredibly clear and vibrant vocal tone, this was insane. Great job!
Simply magical. I already listened to it several times and I can't help coming back regularly to enjoy it every single time.
I'm used to hearing this with a ton of bass but I have to admit this was beautiful.
What about mixing all the bass with her magical soprano? Oof! I'd be so down with that!! 😁😁😅
Agreed
This gave me goosebumps. Subscribing to Malinda is the best choice i made in 2021!
lol me too ;)
Agreed!
@Helen Perkolup lol
I would love to hear a collaboration on this song with you and Peter Hollens. Just the thought gives me chills.
That was the most beautiful version of this song I've ever heard. So peaceful. This song was one of my favourites among Tolkien's collection. You really took this to another level. 💜
Beautifully done❤. I've always been a member of the school of "less is more," so I very much enjoy watching and listening to your music. It's very soothing, at least for one such as I, who has experienced the world in its less wonderful, more savage aspect. I do know that it is "A Wonderful World," as Louis Armstrong sang, but so much of my life has been not-quite-so-wonderful. So you keep on making these beautiful songs, and I will keep listening.❤ ❤❤
Me: just going along my day
Malinda:posts
Me: “Stop everything you’re doing.”
i did the same
Yesssss!😁😁😁😁😁
Totally
Didn't even realise it was a mistake in the title cause I call it "lort" when talking with friends lol
my brain read that and went "...O' LoRT hear our prayers..." xD
This was absolutely beautiful. There’s an ethereal quality to your voice that makes it feel otherworldly. And when you started singing, it gave me chills.
Why have I only just discovered this lady's wonderful singing - thank you to the algorhythm!
Damn! Chills 🥶
Hauntingly beautiful voice !!
Amazing windpipes. This is enchanting and magical. Thank you😊
Honestly this is my favorite song from the entire franchise and had no idea how I could love it more. Thank you so much this, it is absolutely breath taking.
Yes..i just heard her clip WITHOUT the music and found this link and here I am 😍💗
Your singing puts me in that place, every time I hear it. Like I am standing there epic mountain wind blowing.
Holy cow that's amazing. Thank you so much for all the amazing music give given our ears, the silly giggles you've given our smiles, and the kindness you've given our hearts over the years. You're so amazing and inspiring!
shivers up the spine. you have the most beautiful voice ive ever heard
Stunning! Never stop.
Lovely. Would do crimes for an ethereal Malinda/Malukah collab.
Yes, this needs more upvotes!
Yeeees ultimate angelic siren collab, god of reverb make it happen!
Oh my god!
I was shocked when I heard the first line...she has such a melodious voice😍
The Way
She Sings the Sounds the Feelings!! Simply Magical!!
I wondered what "siren" and "mermaid"-y should mean.
As I listened to this song, a cold shiver ran down my spine.
Now I know...
Thank you for blessing the world with your talent , absolutely stunning voice with beautiful delivery !!!!!
This is an incredible version! I've been on a Tolkien binge as of recent and this is a lovely thing to behold
I just love your voice it’s like an Angel singing. You are truly blessed so keep singing. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sung so beautifully and with so much emotion and passion in the voice. WOW
She is a literal siren guys. Stay away from her 🤣🤣🤣🤩🤩🤩
Incredible, beautiful voice... goosebumps from start to finish... feeling very inspired. Thank you for what you do.
Beautiful as always!
Необыкновенно красивый голос Браво
You have made my world a happier place and my 5yr old Essie- wants me to say 'you have a beautiful voice and she loves the pun song especially because it teachers her things" please don't stop being who you are.
You transcended the physical plain with this one. I have no words that could adequately describe it
Literally just discovered you. I love this music. So impressive! You bring much justice to the world of lotr. Thank you
Amazing !!!!!!!!Dont have words to describe how good is your voice
I think I will always like a bass voice singing this song more just because that's my taste in music. But Malinda knocked it out of the park with this cover and really changed the song to be something else.
Siren singing is very good
She nailed the siren impression
And not an Autotune in sight! This is absolutely amazing. You have the most beautiful of voices I've ever heard.
Absolutely perfect. Sends shivers down my spine. Magical.
Woow this was so beautiful, goosebump run all over my body... one of best ever..
Immediate chills! This is amazing!
I actually got goosebumps and smiled when you just started singing. It's great
You really have the most amazing voice and range. Beautiful to listen to. Makes me feel as though I’m on a foggy sea.
You definitely have a beautiful voice, it's so calming. Thank you for all the amazing singing.
