It's the song of warriors spending one last night together on the eve of battle. It's the song that says, "This is it, guys. Tomorrow, we go to face our destiny."
This scene moves me, because if you think about it, every one of those dwarves (possibly with the exception of Ori, Fili and Kili) is singing about the single worst, most terrifying, most traumatic day of their lives.
@@cameronhodgetts920 I know, but in the books it tells you the rest of the dwarves aren’t as invested in the quest because they didn’t grow up in the lonely mountain. With the exception of Fili and Kili who are nephew’s of Thorin.
There are interesting narratives in some of their faces as they sing. Thorin sings it like it is his destiny, looking spacelessly into the nearing future. Balin sings with a reservation because he doesn't want this risk but will follow because he agreed to do so. Gloin has an apprehension of danger knowing he already has a child at home. Boffer is young enough to see it as an adventure he expects to live through and people will sing songs about them.
"You don't have to do this. You have a choice. You have done honorably by our people. You have built a new life for us in the Blue Mountains. A life of peace and plenty. A life that is worth more than alll the gold in Erebor." I like that line
clash1024 true but it is quite ironic Balin say that to Thorin before they go to Erebor and even long before Balin and his own group of dwarfs go's to Moria.
I love the Thorin’s response even more. “ From my grandfather to my father, this has come to me. They dreamt of the day when the Dwarves of Erebor would reclaim their homeland. There is no choice Balin. Not for me.”
In theatres if you had to cough - you'd hold it. If you needed to blink - you wouldn't. If your phone was vibrating - you'd ignore it. This scene was a magical thing to experience in the opening week for the movie. It breathed new life into the cinema. A feeling I haven't had the pleasure of experiencing ever since.
I can't imagine being in the theaters during this scene. Hearing the deep humming over the loud speakers. Every single word hitting your soul. It effected me deeply and I was just watching it on Blu Ray DvD
Unless you were my dad and fell asleep and let loose a loud snore during the song. I tried my best to hold back my laughter but now that's all I think about when I see this scene.
When I was 7 I saw the fellowship of the ring in theaters, it was during the prologue I got this deep warm feeling, I was so engrossed and immersed I immediately knew I had to know more about this world (I got my mom to buy me the books the next weekend!) and years later as a 21 year old sitting in the theater for this film I got that same warm feeling as soon as this song began, it was genuinely magical. There is something about Middle Earth, it’s the perfect world to sit down and get completely lost in
Best moments per movie: Unexpected Journey: This scene Desolation of Smaug: All scenes with Smaug Battle of the Five Armies: The opening scene and Thorin's death
In the book, they played all kinds of instruments during this song, and the tone was more lighthearted. I think this change was deserved. It fits the mood better.
So, having the book in front of me and reading it for the first time: Kili and Fili had little fiddles, Dori, Nori and Ori had flutes, Bombur had a drum, Bifur and Bofur had clarinets, Dwalin and Balin had "viols as big as themselves", and Thorin had a harp.
@@arrow1985 While it's not 100% clear what the mood of this scene is supposed to be in the original book, I believe that it relatively strongly gives the impression of being on the livelier and more lighthearted side, with the dwarves singing, playing instruments and dancing around, the mood being relatively jubilant, if not outright wild. After all, it's a children's book, so the tone should be lighter and softer. The movie, as seen, changes the mood quite radically compared to that. It's very solemn and somber, no instruments, no dancing around, with the dwarves humming the song almost in reverence, with the meaning of the lyrics really hitting hard, with them longing for their long lost home. Of course it's up to personal opinion which one is better. It may also be considered somewhat of heresy to claim that Tolkien was wrong when he described the scene in the manner as he did, a manner that doesn't really fit the narrative. But it's up to opinion, of course.
Scientific studies show that this song dramatically bolsters testosterone in all who listen regardless of gender, with facial and chest hair growth amplified by 2000%

All the movies have these golden moments, but man, there is so much "fat" on it, i'd much rather have one movie that's like half the runtime of the trilogy, than what we got.
I will always defend An unexpected journey. It's the only hobbit film to actually have a lot of the whimsy and fun and goofy elements of the book, and balance it well. It feels the closest to what the hobbit should be as a film, and keeping so many of the songs is a huge part of that. It's the only hobbit film I often rewatch
"I would take each and every one of these dwarves over an army from the Iron Hills. For when I called upon them, they answered. Loyalty.... Honour... a willing heart. I can ask no more than that."

While he does redeem himself, and Dain is a stone cold BADASS (Book Dain at least), it's a tragedy he doesn't get to really ever rule his people justly.

Gandalf: "There's a magic in that music." Bilbo: "And it moves through me." Gandalf: "You feel the love of beautiful things" Bilbo: "To go and see the great mountains and pine trees and waterfalls." Gandalf: "To wear a sword instead of a walking stick." Bilbo: "Just once............." This was the only thing missing from this scene, really wish they would have kept this dialogue
1.@@fatymah7528 ~ What *@Kenneth* is referencing is _[The Hobbit (1977 animated film)],_ with the same post-meal singing by Thorin & Company. However, this (1977 film) reference in-turn was a direct (but condensed) paraphrase from Bilbo's internal narration from hearing the dwarves' lament-song from _[The Hobbit (1937 fantasy novel)]._ If you go back/to the novel and read the first chapter ('An Unexpected Party'), you will find these lines (though again, the lines were condensed and paraphrased for the book-to-film transition). Hope this helps explain/clarify for you. *:)* 2. @Kenneth ~ *_"To wear a sword, instead of a walking stick."_* - a.) I too loved that line from the animated film, the way John Huston (Gandalf the Grey; 1977, 1980) delivers it; simple, emotionally stirring, and also subtly *Dark* in its full meaning. Even decades later and across +2 generations (I have shown _[The Hobbit (1977 animated film)]_ to by children and grand-children), that line always hits me deep. - b.) I also agree and wished that they had kept/included this line/scene-bit in _[The Hobbit (1/3): An Unexpected Journey (2012 film)]._ I am reasonably certain that Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf the Grey; 2001-2014) would have been able to deliver this same line with equal gravitas.
My grandfather was a fan of the original Hobbit film by Rankin-Bass. I showed him the newer films when they came out on DVD and he absolutely loved them, especially this rendition of Misty Mountains. He told me it seemed more fitting how the Dwarves are portrayed here rather than the animated film, being more honorable warriors rather than nearly helpless, frail, old men.
It's the beard. Dwarf women are so alike in size and appearance, that they are often mistaken for dwarf men. no wonder there is the notion that dwarves are not born; rather they spring out of the ground! Which of course is ridiculous
Things like this is what makes the Tolkien universe so great, it has complete cultures not just caricatures of the various groups that inhabit it. Tolkien made a whole world and then put stories in it. But the stories have stories. George Lucas had a few moments where he managed that as well.
Unbeknownst to them, Oakenshield's stubbornness fueled by that key lead Bilbo to the one ring, which in turn lead the one ring to Frodo, which in turn lead the one ring to its demise, saving Middle Earth. Little did they know that the treasure they'd claim would be far greater than a mountain of gold. It would be the world itself. At least a world not under the rule of Sauron or Morgoth.
Gandalf actually alludes to this at the end of the book. He states that Bilbo shouldn't think the party did it all on their own given there was a prophesy about reclaiming the mountain.
I would like to add that maybe(thinking it as not a fantasy novel) it was the guiding hand of eru iluvatar to finally vanquish the evil of sauron thru bilbo agreeing to join the quest.
I love the shot of Bilbo in the middle. He doesn’t know it yet, but that song would probably come to mean as much to him as the dwarves that are singing it.
I saw this with my brother and friends a day or two after Christmas, I was about 16 at the time. When we left the theater it was snowing- with these big beautiful chunks falling. I took a video on my fifth generation iPod touch, the first Apple device I ever had. Then we went sledding at my friends and I spent the night there. That time was magical, one of my best memories I have from the 2010s.
I remember being a very young boy in 2009, and the Hobbit being the first book I really read. I had severe dyslexia and ADHD, I didn’t properly read until the fourth grade because I just couldn’t focus on it and it confused me, but something about the opening of the hobbit, it was so simple I could get it. ‘In a hole in the ground, there was a hobbit.’ But, I remember this song, reading it and singing it to myself as a child, only a few years later to see this in film and it was envisioned just as I thought, deep voiced dwarves singing longingly into the fire about their lost home.
If you can watch this scene and still say these were just bad movies, I am honestly lost for words... The scenes with Balin and Thorin are just the best

I love this and the lord of the rings trilogies and this is why thorins my favorite character he cares about his company and i was sad when he was killed off in the battle of 5 armies
Bro i can't believe this movie was 8 years ago, i went to a movie theater with my dad to see this film and it still feels very new, time scares me sometimes man.
“I would take each and every one of these dwarves over an army from the iron hills, for when I called upon them they answered”. I love that line so much man😄. They do a great job of showing the audience how much Thorin falls by the third movie only to come back to his senses. Throughout this first movie he really feels like a leader you as the viewer would respect enough to bury your fear and follow him towards any danger on your journey. If nothing else because you know in this movie that he values each and every one of the members of his party. That changes as the trilogy progresses. He tries to repeat his success against Azog but gets destroyed and humiliated at his inability to protect them and needing to be saved. As they get closer to the mountain he gets more and more desperate and reckless regarding his party’s safety and his compassion for others. It comes to a head when he gets the dragon sickness after reclaiming the treasure and kingdom where he doesn’t care about anyone else anymore. He doesn’t care about the lives of the lake town that we’re lost nor the refugees who lost their home because of his greed and pride. He begins to even doubt his party members and see them as possible enemies despite the loyalty they always showed him and it’s genuinely sad. Sort of like how Frodo became more corrupted by the ring and began to act towards Sam. Which makes it that much more hyped and exciting when he comes back to his senses and becomes the Thorin we know again. But right here it was great. He’s totally humble and genuinely doesn’t see his life as being worth more than any other member of his party and as the viewer you know he would just as quickly put his life on for any of them as quickly as they would for him. Like I can actually believe him when he says this line. That he really would prefer this small group over an entire army on the journey because he truly values that they showed up. I’m sure he called for an army and that he was hoping an army would respect him enough to answer his call and they didn’t. But that by no means would that cause him disregard for a second the handful that did show up! 😄If only one showed up he would feel the same. I’ll take the one guy who had my back when I needed him over a thousand who didn’t. It really makes you feel the bond of this party and immediately love Thorin as a character. That’s a leader you can respect. That’s a leader who can get your feet moving when every part of your body is telling you it’s not worth it and to run back home. Personally I like Thorin just as much if not more than Aragorn in the movies and I LOVED Aragorn in those movies😄. Viggo was perfect and made him the ultimate badass. But I feel Thorin was done just as well.
rw:theres a magic in that music Bilbo:it moves through me Gandalf :you feel to see the beautiful things? Bilbo:to go see the mountains ,the pine trees,and the water falls Gandalf :to use a sword instead of a walking stick Bilbo:just for once.
The more and more that I think about it, this scene with bilbo baggins and the dwarves really encapsulates something larger, which is the struggle of living in rural mob-controlled countryside-ie the dwarves being the mob and the hobbits the humble townsfolk. Not that the dwarves are violent per se, but they really have the ultimate say in bilbo’s fate sending him on the death march to steal the gold.
Finally righting an old wrong. Grim-faced payback. It may cost us our lives, but if we do nothing, it already has. Powerful sentiments, as deep in the psyche as any mine of Moria. Difficult not to get swept up into it, as Bilbo certainly was.
I feel like this was eventually the straw that broke the camel's back on Bilbo deciding to join the company the next morning.. like this was the last thing he heard before going to sleep
For all of you who feel the power of this song, I would suggest watching and listening to another rendition of this song , sung by the talented Geoff Castellucci. Do a search of his name on YT. He has a wonderfully deep voice, and his version will send shivers down your spine.
I like how Jackson kept some of the poems and songs in. It's one of the few things he did better here than he did in LOTR.
Agreed.

And dark things silent crept beneath

This was the only thing missing from this scene, really wish they would have kept this dialogue
I didn't read it in the books? I love it. Where is it from?
1.@@fatymah7528 ~ What *@Kenneth* is referencing is _[The Hobbit (1977 animated film)],_ with the same post-meal singing by Thorin & Company. However, this (1977 film) reference in-turn was a direct (but condensed) paraphrase from Bilbo's internal narration from hearing the dwarves' lament-song from _[The Hobbit (1937 fantasy novel)]._ If you go back/to the novel and read the first chapter ('An Unexpected Party'), you will find these lines (though again, the lines were condensed and paraphrased for the book-to-film transition).
Hope this helps explain/clarify for you. *:)*
2. @Kenneth ~ *_"To wear a sword, instead of a walking stick."_*
- a.) I too loved that line from the animated film, the way John Huston (Gandalf the Grey; 1977, 1980) delivers it; simple, emotionally stirring, and also subtly *Dark* in its full meaning. Even decades later and across +2 generations (I have shown _[The Hobbit (1977 animated film)]_ to by children and grand-children), that line always hits me deep.
- b.) I also agree and wished that they had kept/included this line/scene-bit in _[The Hobbit (1/3): An Unexpected Journey (2012 film)]._ I am reasonably certain that Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf the Grey; 2001-2014) would have been able to deliver this same line with equal gravitas.
@@pendrake40 yes I understood. Thank you so much ✨
@@fatymah7528 ~ You are welcome. *:)*
My grandfather was a fan of the original Hobbit film by Rankin-Bass. I showed him the newer films when they came out on DVD and he absolutely loved them, especially this rendition of Misty Mountains. He told me it seemed more fitting how the Dwarves are portrayed here rather than the animated film, being more honorable warriors rather than nearly helpless, frail, old men.
My sister just grew a beard help
I she a dwarf? And are you? :-)
It's the beard. Dwarf women are so alike in size and appearance, that they are often mistaken for dwarf men. no wonder there is the notion that dwarves are not born; rather they spring out of the ground! Which of course is ridiculous

I laughed so hard 😂
@@linesandcircles7465 i was thinking of these lines of gimli when i first read the comment
Things like this is what makes the Tolkien universe so great, it has complete cultures not just caricatures of the various groups that inhabit it.
Tolkien made a whole world and then put stories in it.
But the stories have stories.
George Lucas had a few moments where he managed that as well.
Unbeknownst to them, Oakenshield's stubbornness fueled by that key lead Bilbo to the one ring, which in turn lead the one ring to Frodo, which in turn lead the one ring to its demise, saving Middle Earth. Little did they know that the treasure they'd claim would be far greater than a mountain of gold. It would be the world itself. At least a world not under the rule of Sauron or Morgoth.
Which by the way might be the nerdiest thing I've ever written
@@LetsbeHonestOfficial Even the smallest person can change the course of the future
Gandalf actually alludes to this at the end of the book. He states that Bilbo shouldn't think the party did it all on their own given there was a prophesy about reclaiming the mountain.
I would like to add that maybe(thinking it as not a fantasy novel) it was the guiding hand of eru iluvatar to finally vanquish the evil of sauron thru bilbo agreeing to join the quest.
Lessons for our present world not to cave in the fight against the rvil engulfing it
I love the shot of Bilbo in the middle. He doesn’t know it yet, but that song would probably come to mean as much to him as the dwarves that are singing it.
"Loyalty, honor, and a willing heart"
Can we all just appreciate tolkin for his beautiful poetic skills
I saw this with my brother and friends a day or two after Christmas, I was about 16 at the time. When we left the theater it was snowing- with these big beautiful chunks falling. I took a video on my fifth generation iPod touch, the first Apple device I ever had. Then we went sledding at my friends and I spent the night there. That time was magical, one of my best memories I have from the 2010s.
Imagine if Bilbo just shouted, “WILL YOU SHUT TF UP?! I AM TRYING TO SLEEP!”
Ow my ribs! I laughed too hard at this
OMG that was perfect! I have to wipe away tears and my stomach hurts XDDD
Please, I’d say sing louder. This song is catchy as heck
Bilbo could be 100 % dead
And with that, the Journey ended before it began.

Some of the greatest acting skills ever shown on film. They brought a fantasy work to life , I believed it. Great work mates.
"There's a magic in that music."
"And it moves through me."
"You feel the love of beautiful things?"
That was Tolkien's gift
Of all the Hobbit movies, I adore this one the most, it feels so close and book and the way PJ directed the LOTR movies.
I've always loved Balin. 😭❤
I remember being a very young boy in 2009, and the Hobbit being the first book I really read. I had severe dyslexia and ADHD, I didn’t properly read until the fourth grade because I just couldn’t focus on it and it confused me, but something about the opening of the hobbit, it was so simple I could get it. ‘In a hole in the ground, there was a hobbit.’ But, I remember this song, reading it and singing it to myself as a child, only a few years later to see this in film and it was envisioned just as I thought, deep voiced dwarves singing longingly into the fire about their lost home.
You know when you hear the dwarves sing their song that a great journey is about to unfold
I remember this song in the trailer.
If you can watch this scene and still say these were just bad movies, I am honestly lost for words...
The scenes with Balin and Thorin are just the best
There are definitely great scenes in these movies, such as this, riddles, Smaug, and more. But as a whole the films do come up short
Even the director isn't happy with them. They had some good scenes but were an overall disappointment.
Go watch a long unexpected autopsy. Breaks down how the movies went wrong. Some scenes in a movie don't redeem the whole thing.

i remember watching this at the theaters and this song just had its own aura and feel, it was absolutely amazing
I can't imagine what the atmosphere would be like watching this film in the cinema
This scene set the tone for the entire movie.
I love Richard's voice ❤️✨
I watched this 50 times and still it gives me chills
Great acting by Thorin. God bless and thanks for uploading.
This song makes you feel like you're going to conquer your homeland, wherever it is
Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day
To find our long forgotten gold
[Verse 2: Tim Foust]
The pines were roaring on the height
The winds were moaning in the night
The fire was red, it flaming spread
The trees like torches blazed with light

[Verse 3: Peter Hollens]
The wind was on the withered heath
But in the forest stirred no leaf
There shadows lay be night or day
And dark things silent crept beneath
[Interlude]
Aaaahh aaahh
Aaaahh aaahh
[Verse 4: Peter Hollens]
The wind went on from West to East
All movement in the forest ceased
But shrill and harsh across the marsh
Its whistling voices were released
[Verse 5: Both]
Farewell we call to hearth and hall!
Though wind may blow and rain may fall
We must away ere break of day
Far o'er the wood and mountain tall
And this is why accapella is the best kind of music.
I love this and the lord of the rings trilogies and this is why thorins my favorite character he cares about his company and i was sad when he was killed off in the battle of 5 armies
I have to shave in the morning after hearing this song
No you must keep it. You have been bless by Thorin.

I was singing along with them in the theater.
no you were not
Sure
Well then you my friend are an obnoxious asshole.

This wasnt at the theater version
This altered my brain chemistry as a kid. Still get chills to this day.
The brotherhood between the whole squad it hits me right in the feels. Trynna reclaim our rightful home type vibe 🔥
The beginning of this movie is honestly one of the best parts of any lord of the rings movie or show.
Honestly one of the best scenes in the whole hobbit trilogy. Yeah it had its flaws, but critics can forget about scenes like this very exact one.
Bro i can't believe this movie was 8 years ago, i went to a movie theater with my dad to see this film and it still feels very new, time scares me sometimes man.
*Hears Far Over the Misty Mountains for the millionth time*
I still want to go on an adventure!
Hours earlier, they were drunken singing and dancing plus have the best food fight
A shame that a king that was promised was robbed of life. Thank god for Dain
One of the best scenes in any movie in my opinion, I love this song so much.
This scene feels like the end and yet its the beginning of a journey
Im crying so much it hurts
I have seen this approximately 200 times, always amazing !!
the whole scene is shot beautifully!
It’s a song that almost honors and curses the dragon in their defeat.

this song makes me sleepy and it sounds comforting, but the song is about one of the most horrific things experienced by (some of) the dwarves
“I would take each and every one of these dwarves over an army from the iron hills, for when I called upon them they answered”. I love that line so much man😄. They do a great job of showing the audience how much Thorin falls by the third movie only to come back to his senses. Throughout this first movie he really feels like a leader you as the viewer would respect enough to bury your fear and follow him towards any danger on your journey. If nothing else because you know in this movie that he values each and every one of the members of his party.
That changes as the trilogy progresses. He tries to repeat his success against Azog but gets destroyed and humiliated at his inability to protect them and needing to be saved. As they get closer to the mountain he gets more and more desperate and reckless regarding his party’s safety and his compassion for others. It comes to a head when he gets the dragon sickness after reclaiming the treasure and kingdom where he doesn’t care about anyone else anymore. He doesn’t care about the lives of the lake town that we’re lost nor the refugees who lost their home because of his greed and pride. He begins to even doubt his party members and see them as possible enemies despite the loyalty they always showed him and it’s genuinely sad. Sort of like how Frodo became more corrupted by the ring and began to act towards Sam. Which makes it that much more hyped and exciting when he comes back to his senses and becomes the Thorin we know again.
But right here it was great. He’s totally humble and genuinely doesn’t see his life as being worth more than any other member of his party and as the viewer you know he would just as quickly put his life on for any of them as quickly as they would for him. Like I can actually believe him when he says this line. That he really would prefer this small group over an entire army on the journey because he truly values that they showed up. I’m sure he called for an army and that he was hoping an army would respect him enough to answer his call and they didn’t. But that by no means would that cause him disregard for a second the handful that did show up! 😄If only one showed up he would feel the same. I’ll take the one guy who had my back when I needed him over a thousand who didn’t. It really makes you feel the bond of this party and immediately love Thorin as a character. That’s a leader you can respect. That’s a leader who can get your feet moving when every part of your body is telling you it’s not worth it and to run back home. Personally I like Thorin just as much if not more than Aragorn in the movies and I LOVED Aragorn in those movies😄. Viggo was perfect and made him the ultimate badass. But I feel Thorin was done just as well.
Dwalin said it best. Sitting on a throne, crown on his head, on top of the largest hoard of gold...And he was the smallest ever in his life.
My mother read this before I was born in the 60s and when she saw this movie, she loved this scene
To wear a sword instead of a walking stick
Just once...
Don't underesrimate the walking stick either
Hello my Vulcan friend
I remember watching this at the theatre, everyone was soo quite at this moment, goosebumps!!!!!!!!
When having a cup of coffee while listening this song.
Gandalf: “There’s a magic in that music.”
Bilbo: “And it moves through me…”
Now this makes a great lullaby
It all Started with this Song ❤❤❤
One of the few soulful moments of this trilogy (should have just been two movies). Jackson took this thing off the rails badly.
agreed; it would have been a killer Two-Part movie in 2012-13; the extended editions of Journey and Desolation are even worse.
The greatest victories come with the greatest sacrifices. (Thorin, Fili and Kili)
I'm not a huge fan of the Hobbit movies but this scene is incredible.
rw:theres a magic in that music
Bilbo:it moves through me
Gandalf :you feel to see the beautiful things?
Bilbo:to go see the mountains ,the pine trees,and the water falls
Gandalf :to use a sword instead of a walking stick
Bilbo:just for once.
the song was longer in the book, why couldn't they at least sing another verse or two? they're voices were low but good and mighty
Search "Clamavi de Profundis" on UA-cam. They made a Full version, and it's marvelous
@@JoaoVictor-dd4qf thank you
I don't know what it is about this song, but even to this day it gives me chills.
"Loyalty. Honor. A willing heart"
Sums up the real Thorin.
I know a lot of people beef with this trilogy. But this scene is the only part I think is above criticism. They nailed he vibe.
The more and more that I think about it, this scene with bilbo baggins and the dwarves really encapsulates something larger, which is the struggle of living in rural mob-controlled countryside-ie the dwarves being the mob and the hobbits the humble townsfolk. Not that the dwarves are violent per se, but they really have the ultimate say in bilbo’s fate sending him on the death march to steal the gold.
Love thorin 💕❤️
Finally righting an old wrong. Grim-faced payback. It may cost us our lives, but if we do nothing, it already has. Powerful sentiments, as deep in the psyche as any mine of Moria. Difficult not to get swept up into it, as Bilbo certainly was.
I feel like this was eventually the straw that broke the camel's back on Bilbo deciding to join the company the next morning.. like this was the last thing he heard before going to sleep
Whenever i listen to this it gives me goosebumps
For all of you who feel the power of this song, I would suggest watching and listening to another rendition of this song , sung by the talented Geoff Castellucci. Do a search of his name on YT. He has a wonderfully deep voice, and his version will send shivers down your spine.
Seeing this scene in high-framerate 3D in theaters was just absolutely amazing.
Fun fact the human eye can't tell the difference between 24 FPS and anything higher it can also only see in 3.7k so don't bother buying a 8k
