Gollum's Song - The Lord of the Rings (The Two Towers) | Cover by Rachel Hardy

- "Gollum's Song" has been one of my most requested songs over the past decade. I've put it off for so long, knowing full well I could never do justice to the original version which features the most beautifully haunting vocal performance by Emilíana Torrini. However, out of pure love for this piece, I just had to say yes when my friend Alex asked if I would sing it for his Lord of the Rings rescore project. I hope you enjoy! I thoroughly enjoyed singing it; I love the Lord of the Rings just as much as I did when I first watched the trilogy as a child and it was a joy to finally cover this piece.
Produced by Alex Gobbett @CinematicSymphonyOrchestra), featuring violin by Rebecca Rovny (@RebeccaRovny). Please give my talented collaborators some kudos in the comments and check out their work!
Written by Howard Shore & Fran Walsh.

Gollum likes this song, yes, yes, It's... it's nice to Gollum's ears, yes, yes, my precious Rachel
It burnses my ears precious! It burnses!
somehow this text feels more skaven than gollum
@@melthrandir Be quiet-silent, devious man-thing!
You spelled preciousss wrong :)
Great reply
The song made the end of the second film great.
Thanks Rachel!
Thanks for watching!
This is better than second breakfast! Well done everyone 👏
And even better! Listen to it while eating second breakfast!
Gonna do exactly that now.
Well now, I don’t know about THAT, Stu. *stuffs two muffins into mouth*
PO-TA-TOES!!!!!!!!
Rachel's voice is softer than Emiliana Torrini, and I think it lends itself better here. If Emiliana's version was like a lamentation, Rachel's is like a eulogy. It's the difference between Gollum dying slowly vs already gone. Both valid, but I like this cover a lot.
That’s a cool take!
The orchestral arrangements are brilliant!
Alex killed it with the re-score!
I felt what Gollum thinking and feeling so deep, poor creature
Gollum kill his Friend IS a criminel
@@-et7yg I still pity him :(
@@20ecupirate13 i dont see how people can pity him, he wasnt a good person. In fact he was pretty selfish, cruel and kinda evil.
@@MrFlaten92 that's why.
@@-et7yg yep, he was a horrible person, he killed most of innocent goblins, orcs and his best fishfriend. Sad for goblins
That song Rachel is truly heartbreaking. I'm so happy to can listening to your extremely deep voice in this your new great cover.❤
I'll bee always grateful to you for your amazing work. ❤
Rachel has been one of my favorite artists since I heard her version on The Last Goodbye. And I’ve been waiting to hear her version of this song! Beautifully done!!
Thank you for watching and for the support :)
The somber charm of this song was completely lost on me when I was a kid. No longer. Beautifully done.
this song was so good! "My precious... Gollum approves of this masterpiece, yes... yesss.. GOLLUM! GOLLUM!"
Our beautiful elf maiden returns with another gem for us ♥ So happy I live in this time to see and hear songs like this ❤
You have just the voice for this song. A hauntingly beautiful piece, Rachel.
This music and voice... Goosebumps on my skin
Haunting song about a heartbreakingly tragic character.
You pick the best songs to cover. Watching you sing is like watching & listening to an angel. If I can ever think of a song perfect for your voice, I'll be sure to mention it. I just can't think of anything at the moment, because you already pick the best songs. 😊
The musical score in these movies where wonderful they make s great addition to the actors and scenery. I think they pushed the envelope in every regard. I so enjoyed this haunting tune I played over and over. A big extended aplaude to this beautiful voice
Can't do it justice, eh? Let me tell you, that's you at your absolute freaking best. Love it, great job.
Thank you Alezzar
Makes me instantly yearn for an extended edition!
This is so beautiful and touching 🤩
I can't think of a single song you've done that I didn't absolutely love, but your voice lends so much power to the more haunting melodies you do. This is nothing short of perfect. Stay amazing.
Thank you for listening!!
Finally my suggestion!! Just as amazing as I knew it would be!
I think you succeeded in not only doing justice to the original song, but also in letting your own expressive light shine through it.
The atmosphere of this song is giving me goosebumps! Thank you for a very good cover, Rachel!
I just finished watching the extended edition of the Lord of the Rings trilogy a few days ago! Your timing couldn't have been more perfect! Well done, Rachel! 😁
Yet another fantastic cover, it is just hauntingly beautiful! If I say that you did the original justice, this is about the biggest compliment I could give.❤ It is so rare to see a musician who consistently delivers both vocally and emotionally!
Wow, thank you!
@@RachelHardyAwesome! Now it's time to move on to the real deal... Gollum's forbidden pool performance
Wow, haunting, and yet tragic. Awesome voice and song all the way! i'd bet that if you played this back to yourself, you had to of been amazed by the level of energy you put into this.
What a wonderful thing to wake up to 😊
Thanks for watching!
This, is one of the most soul wrenching versions of this song I have heard. It's beautifully done, from the slow funeral-dirge esq music, to the cadence and softly mourning lyrics. It is, hands down, one of the best renditions you've ever produced.
Been amazing to be able to hear how your voice has gotten stronger throughout the years. And the emtions really coming out! You're doing great Rachel!
Nice collaboration by you, Alex, and Rebecca! Always love hearing your voice, Rachel.
Thanks for listening!
you are truly talented. breathtaking!
This is sooooo good!! Amazing performance and wonderful production from beginning to end. Your voice is so beautiful and so haunting. Thanks for your courage and patience.
Amazing song that can touch so many hearts, I can find many meanings in it and SO beautifully sung.
Thank you for inspiring me 🥰
Truly amazing performance Rachel Hardy ❤❤
Beautiful job Rachel, I think you did yourself proud. Excellent cover.
You have such a beautiful and calming voice. Wonderful cover.
This was hauntingly beautiful performance Rachel ❤just simply beautiful, much love xx
A wonderful and very touching song! Your amazing voice makes even Gollum look like a tragic hero.
The hero he could’ve been!
❤ Beautiful as always Rachel ❤️
This was the song featured in the trilogy which resonated most strongly with me. Loss is the human experience. In time, all is lost. How we deal with that shapes our character.
Like Poe said, "So being young & dipped in folly, I fell in love with melancholy."
Guys, we've got Gollum song before Priscilla's song, amazing cover
Now you gotta wait for Priscilla’s Song heheh
Epic song for Gollum 👍
Beautiful and haunting! Excellent job!
Thanks for listening :)

Una bella melodía que me trae el maravilloso recuerdo de haber visto la mejor Trilogía de la historia, mi amada El Señor de los Anillos, Insuperable colosal y magnánima obra maestra. Que bella cantante, interpreta muy bien y parece una bella mujer elfo.🤩
Shivers! Absolutely love this cover. ❤
This is truly amazing!! You conveyed those emotions so beautifully.
Thank you so much!!
Holy jeeze, that was amazing Rachel!
I read Gollum’s song and literally thought she was going to sing _this little pool is nice and cool…_
What a beautiful cover, I was talking about very deep topics with a friend and I found this song and it made me think in retrospect, it's incredible how music can touch people
You the best Rach. Followed you since the start when you really loved it.
Sooo good. You have an amazing voice.
Once upon a time, I was very fortunate to sing in a project choir, who sang all the singing parts live + an orchestra was playing the music score live while the movie was running. The coolest project ever!!! Singing in elvish was really special 😍😍😍 Ur beautiful version of this song took me back to this wonderful time 😍😍😍 thx so much!!! Btw, the elvish ear piece is just as beautiful as u and ur voice 😍😍😍
Amazing song dear Rachel
