Tolkien GASSED tf outta this one... BARS from another dimension, with the double-internals every other line, and ill vocab. The best Battle rapper today couldn't fade JRR
Hey, great comment! I laughed so hard at Tolkien woulda gassed the f out of today's rappers LOL. I have to say, did you mean ill vocab as is bad vocabulary? Just wondering, because I honestly dont want to correct you, I understand your comment, but for one he didn't write the music just the words, so they kinda sung them to this particular song. This song is beautiful, but I actually think they are best when read very slowly, and this song had very fast tempo at parts. Also, as a poet and songwriter myself, I just like to point out that Tolkien was very educated on things such as ALL vocabulary, even linguistics, MUCH more than 90% of today's writers of books poems and songs. He actually attended university unlike alot of em, me offence to them. So, the whole point, is that just like today's artists he breaks rules to convey the FEELING, like the Troll poem that Sam sings had of course Sam's kinda uneducated grammer. The point is that the difference is he knew exactly whenever he broke a rule, and knew the correct alternatives, and chose it carefully, and it showed in his finished products which were his lifes work. I am sorry if I misunderstood your use of the phrase "vocab" and confused it with insulting Tolkiens bad grammar, but I just love Tolkien so much and have studied his life w bit, and j enjoy any chance to talk about it, so thank you for your comment which inspired me to write this other comment. Thanks
@@kadorakasu the term "ill" in regards to appraising one's street cred is used similarly as "sick" as to say that it is "tubular", or in layman's terms, very good.

lol I just got to this part in the book and figured I’d look it up to see if anyone had made it into a song instead of just reading it. This is pretty cool
I've have heard this song sung much better. Regardless, it warms my heart to see that the second-comers still remember me. It was worth setting up wifi on The Vingilot.
the only musician whose rendition of this i would believe was better is Makalaüre Fëanorion, and I think we both know he's never gonna perform it. I dont know if Elrond has made all (four or five. or six if you count Cirdan) of his parents sit down and come to terms with each other. But, no matter how repentant Kanafinwë may be, hes probably not going to be singing any songs that praise *coughsilmariltheivescough* the non-feanorian posessors of a silmaril.
I just found this song while thumbing through others! Yes, this is Bilbo to me too like he has a group of children sitting about his feet, engrossed every one of them! Except that kid in the back whose digging in the dirt for worms. There's always that kid.
@joseport123456789 No they are two completely different characters. Earendil is a remote ancestor of Elendil. "Earendil" signifies friend of the sea and "Elendil" friend of the stars (-> friend of the elves for the Dunedain)
How I love the Tolkien Ensemble! I hope to memorize all the tunes they use so if I end of having children, I can sing all the songs when I read The Lord of the Rings to them.
Buried dreams... Memories of old ages, resting and forever drifting within our minds. They sometimes arise, for better or for worse, when we are confronted with things such as.. this. This song. This beautiful and mind-compelling tune, which makes us remember how grand is this world and how lost we are in it, in this Universe, in the Cosmos, in Ëa. We are but a parenthesis between immensity and eternity. We long to return. We wish to seek this unity with the old times.
I like to think that this version is a version of an elf that was is with his friends in a forest and started to sing and the version of Clammavi De Profundis is a version sang for a great celebration in a city like Imladris, I think is the best way to look at this two fantastic ways of interpretation of the same song.
Reading it to my 7 year old twins, thank you for posting this, I’m sure my kids prefer that I play the song off of UA-cam instead of tying to sing them myself!!
Рік тому
It’s lovely to read your comment, thanks! Go figure, this is one of the first videos I ever posted on UA-cam, it must be 14 years ago … Still I’m sure that your kids will remember it more fondly if you sing it yourself to them as well! I was also introduced to Tolkien as a little girl by my father who read it to us, and that tradition of oral recounting is something special that we shouldn’t lose.
As I understand it, the person who put this together is a genius and thank you for doing Tolkien justice. I say "put together" because the music you found (which wasnt written by Tolkien if course) is perfect and skillfully played, and the singer, the editing of the word structures to fit sentences and blend with music is masterful. If you, and Clavundi Di Profundis got together, THAT would have meant decent music for the movies. As it was... How ever much money they paid music writers of the Hobbit series, and the big 3, THEY SUCKED... and failed their ancestors, Tolkien, me, and humanity. I never would have believed a movie of The Silmarillion Book would be possible, but THIS AMAZING SONG makes me believe that one day a group of skilled artists who actually read the books and care about something other than movie sales and money, will get together and remake all the movies, and make the Silmarillion, and Broadway plays, because Tolkien really deserves no less, and so many young people only watch movies not read the books. I'm 21 btw. I'm an exception. Thank you for this video! =)
Earendil was a half his mother was Tuor son of Huor and his mother was Idril daughter of king Turgon of Gondlin. He went to Valinor with a silmaril on his brow. He is also the Father of Elrond of Rivendell
@RookhKshatriya Actually Earendil was a half elf - his father was Tuor of the House of Hador, and his mother was Idril of Gondolin, daughter of king Turgon. After sailing to Valinor with his wife Elwing, daughter of Beren and Luthien, the Valar gave them and their descendants the right to choose between the fate of Men and Elves.Earendil let his wife choose for both of them, and she picked the fate of Elves.THAT is how he became immortal.
Thank you very much Lúthien. I have recently watched this video once again. It has been some time now since I didn't hear this. I felt something I didn't in a long time. Thanks again
There're mistakes in the Hungarian sub, at 0:28. It's "érje", not "érja". At 4:04 it's "gyöngysávján" not "gyöngysávlíán". At 6:25 the correct is "és látomásos volt a lég -". I thought, I can help. :) But it's still beautiful, and when I realize, there's hunsub, it almost made me cry! :.) Thank you for this miracle!
"Hail Earendil,of mariners most renowned, the looked for that cometh at unawares, the longed for that cometh behond hope!Hail Earendil, bearer of light before the sun and the moon!Splendour of the children of Earth,star in the darkness,jewel in the sunset,radiant in the morning!...""...And Earendil went into Valinor and to the halls of Valmar, and never set foot upon the lands of men."
Oh, thanks for the info. Forgot to mention the sound quality, which is very good. Are those images all related to Eärendil? Can I find in the Silmarillion something about this mariner, or is he only referred in Bilbo's song?
Nostalgia is indeed different from feeling lost, but it goes, at least it seems to me, in the same direction: you long for something that is not here, not now; you wish to find again that simple pleasure of reading the epic story. An illusion, a feeling that belongs to the past: in the end, it's actually nothing you're looking for, since it doesn't exist anymore. One that searches for nothing is lost.
Where are the missing lyrics? At 7:17 there are two lines missing. Or I should clarify, they are missing in the text in show notes, but present in the singing.
@Lúthien Merilin, around two verses from the lyrics are missing in your version around here: "and banner bright with living flame to gleam thereon by Elbereth ... and laid on him undying doom" I'm not too confident about my English, so please :)
Do notice that when I said "lost" in my comment, I was in fact admitting that we are little and fragile compared to our world; we are nothing to our Universe, let alone the Cosmos. By "lost", I mean we have no actual standpoint in the world, our mortality betrays us, our vulnerability reminds us we have a body, a form which we must not wholly trust because of its frailty. Our small time of life forces us to confront ourselves with the deep truth, that the moments we spend here are...hm are what?
I'm most certainly wrong since I'm not having any sleep lately, but I found your remarks interesting and I wanted to discuss them with you. If in my attempt, I'm completely straying from your point, forgive me.
No. Eärendil was half-elven and immortal. Elendil was a mortal man. "Elendil (also known as Elendil the Tall or Elendil the Fair, and Ælfwine "Elf-friend) was the father of Isildur and Anárion, and the first High King of Gondor and Arnor and first King of all the Dúnedain. He was killed by Sauron during the War of the Last Alliance." lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Elendil
And if faith in God doesn't make you feel lost, then I envy you. But, I wonder, how can it be? How can having faith in Him comforts you and relieves you? Is it because you feel accompanied all the time? Because you feel you have a purpose? What is it that in having faith in God doesn't make you feel lost in the Universe?
The entire Lay of Earendil can be found in Book 2 Chapter 1, "Many Meetings", of The Fellowship of the Rings. It is a versification of chapter 24 of the Silmarillion, "Of Earendil and the War of Wrath". There is a bit more about Earendil in the Akallabeth, which follows chapter 24 of the Silmarillion. Chapter 2 of Book 2 of FOTR also has a few lines about him.
*about earendil- one of the greatest elves of the first age of middle earth it is the character the phial of galadriel is named after* Earendil was not an elf but a man, although he became immortal by grace of the Valar.
Nope. Eärindil was Half-elven and immortal because he let his wife, Elwing, choose thier fate and she chose the fate of the elves. The ability to chose their fate was granted to them by Manwë.
Don't the half-Elvish reduce to mortal status, albeit long-lived? Of course, maybe in the First Age before Valinor was withdrawn things must have been different.
Let's say I accept your suggestion. Now, which god? There are a few thousands to pick, if you don't count unnamed gods or possible gods no one has ever believed we're real. I could believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, there is nothing that makes it less valid than believing in the Christian-Muslim-Jew God, and it's much less depressing, since the FSM isn't a contradictory liar and a threatener genocide misogynistic control freak manipulative sadistic homophobic racist bigot, while the same can't be said by the abrahamic god.

it's those songs and other world-building that make me understand why Tolkien spent over 20 years to write LOTR
He started in 1937 and was mostly done by the early 1950s of I recall
lol I just got to this part in the book and figured I’d look it up to see if anyone had made it into a song instead of just reading it. This is pretty cool
Me too! 🙉
Haha me too just now !
Right there with y'all
Might do this every time from now
Me too
I've have heard this song sung much better. Regardless, it warms my heart to see that the second-comers still remember me. It was worth setting up wifi on The Vingilot.
My dear Eärendil, can I please have my Silmaril back?
@@feanorcurufinwe9308 Of course Fëanor is subscribed to Pewdiepie
the only musician whose rendition of this i would believe was better is Makalaüre Fëanorion, and I think we both know he's never gonna perform it.

I like to imagine that it’s Bilbo singing this in Rivendell. :)
I just found this song while thumbing through others! Yes, this is Bilbo to me too like he has a group of children sitting about his feet, engrossed every one of them! Except that kid in the back whose digging in the dirt for worms. There's always that kid.
silmarillion is something ancestral and epic
@joseport123456789
No they are two completely different characters. Earendil is a remote ancestor of Elendil.
"Earendil" signifies friend of the sea and
"Elendil" friend of the stars (-> friend of the elves for the Dunedain)

They are! However I see this as the original, less polished but more charming, version that Bilbo himself sung in Chapter One of book 2!
This inspired me to write poems of my own.
Seraphinus Sunstrider please give us links to your poems !!
This is the most beautiful piece of Music I have ever heard.
Kaspar502 What exactly do you listen to otherwise...?
this one is just getting more beautiful every time I hear it
Just got to this part of the story with my daughter. Thanks for the song so she could hear it done properly

This is my favorite poem of Tolkien's. Earendil was the greatest mariner - from my favorite book: The silmarillion

Tolkien's longest and in my opnion best song
Alpha Omega the lay of luthien is ten times longer
If you mean the Lay of Leithian no one in their right mind would call that a song. Its 4200 lines long
I can totally see Bilbo singing this!
Thank you very much Lúthien. I have recently watched this video once again. It has been some time now since I didn't hear this. I felt something I didn't in a long time. Thanks again

If you told me this was arranged and performed by Daeron...
i still probably wouldnt believe you, but i would give it a thought.
Thank you brother... absolutely perfect... the tale is retold... as it should be...

Thanks, but I’m not a brother ;)

in my opinion the two best pictures are the one of the Lord of Dol Amroth at 0:53 and the one of Valimar at 4:48
Thank You very very much!!

first time i hear smthng so worthy of being told Elvish. Bards live! i fell in love with it..
I got a 300 minute loop of the “Catchy Song” and I plan to watch every second of it.
Woah, I'd really like to know how to play the guitar for this song.
@Lúthien Merilin, around two verses from the lyrics are missing in your version around here:
"and banner bright with living flame
to gleam thereon by Elbereth
...
and laid on him undying doom"
I'm not too confident about my English, so please :)
The one at 8:47, is it a picture of the herald of Manwë? Lovely!
This is my new favorite song *-*
What a amazing, beautiful and relax song that takes us to Middle Earth! =)
Hail Bilbo!
There and Back Again, a Hobbit Tale by Bilbo Baggins =)

Silmarillion é uma obra de arte.
You should put somewhere in the description that it is Nick Keir providing the vocals :-)
He’s spitting bars!
I'm sorry, but I don't know that. A friend who helped me find translations came up with it but forgot where she found it.
Thank for this song. It's wonderfull...
Nice song. Tolkien Ensemble is really great. Now there's a thing I don't quite get: is Earendil the same person as Elendil?
No. Eärendil was half-elven and immortal. Elendil was a mortal man. "Elendil (also known as Elendil the Tall or Elendil the Fair, and Ælfwine "Elf-friend) was the father of Isildur and Anárion, and the first High King of Gondor and Arnor and first King of all the Dúnedain.

Why do you hurt my heart by posting this video, that brings alive my burried dreams...
@LuthienAthariel i meant half-elven but made typo
hahahaha I am the same person in the video of luthien! my name is tovon!^_^
And if faith in God doesn't make you feel lost, then I envy you. But, I wonder, how can it be? How can having faith in Him comforts you and relieves you?

Awesome in every way.
Good version.
So I'm not seeing any CC that isn't an Earthly language. I'm not even seeing the Sanskrit that you mentioned...did youtube mess up again?
I am henceforth greatly enamored as of one smitten by the first sight of blazing mithril :*)*
Until the end
Masterpiece
Earandil you know you didn't hear Bilbo sing that in Rivendell :P
Right now, my mind is failing me, and I don't know what else to say. Maybe I should shut up, and listen quietly to the song, one more time.
beauty!bellissima!*_*
Nice.
Where in the books is his story told most?
The entire Lay of Earendil can be found in Book 2 Chapter 1, "Many Meetings", of The Fellowship of the Rings. It is a versification of chapter 24 of the Silmarillion, "Of Earendil and the War of Wrath".

The poem Errantry in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and other verses from The Red Book is also an earlier version of the Song of Eärendil.
beatifull
And who did the translation to Quenya? =)
Daeron the bard
amk 5 yıldır arıyordum sonunda buldummmm
I don´t feel lost in the universe, because i have faith in God, but I feel strong nostalgia of the times when i used to read LotR all day long...
Alexandre Porto which one?

you are lost cose you belive in god :D
Man i eneth lín? ^_^
*about earendil- one of the greatest elves of the first age of middle earth it is the character the phial of galadriel is named after*

This video is so good. Like the song as well.
I have posted a poem about Luthien which I wrote. Maybe you would like to check it out.
PROUDFOOTS! Proudfeet!
.
Don't the half-Elvish reduce to mortal status, albeit long-lived? Of course, maybe in the First Age before Valinor was withdrawn things must have been different.
The Half-elven were granted the ability to choose their fate by Manwë.
You should have more faith in God, then you will see, we humans are the most powerful beings of the universe...
Let's say I accept your suggestion. Now, which god? There are a few thousands to pick, if you don't count unnamed gods or possible gods no one has ever believed we're real.
