    I Made this song in honor of Ed's amazing version. It inspired me to make an entire Hobbit+LOTR themed album. If you enjoy this please check it out here: Physical: bit.ly/LVOfficialLOTRAlbum Digital Versions: smarturl.it/peterhollensmusic -- It's called "Misty Mountains: Songs Inspired by The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings"

      I had a similar experience with my daughter. After she was born if she was fussing about something and the opening music came on for a tv show I watched all the time, she would abruptly stop and look towards the sound. as soon as the music was over, she was right back to fussing. They remember. So talk nice to pregnant ladies.

    I played this song for my father the week before he had his stroke. He was amazed that it was just one person singing all of the parts. I played him more of Peters' music and he loved it! Now I hear this song and it's bittersweet since my father passed away on April 8th. I am glad that I shared this with him.....

      I love it because the background music doesn’t overwhelm the main melody. Unfortunately in some songs done later, everything is sung at the same volume; the background work isn’t in the background, so it’s vying for attention with the melody. Mr Hollens is insanely talented; however, I just don’t care for how the tracks are mixed in his most recent recordings.

      Maybe you could state a rough guide of how old the video has to be before you consider a request? A year, three years etc. Music tends to only be ‘new’ for a short time in my experience. :)

My request would be Hanging Tree, Baba Yetu and the Disney Villans Medley, because i still hear them A LOT. Keep up with your amazing work. Any Chance that ordering your CDs from Europe gets more affordable? The shipping fees would cost an arm and a leg and keep me away from ordering for quite the time now...

    Just lost my home in the Camp Fire of Northern California. My two brothers and sister and their families barely got out as well, some with only the clothes on their backs as they really were running through fire. I truly wish someone would make a memorial montage to Paradise with this song. I played it last night and it was too accurate for me not to bawl my eyes out while listening. Peter Hollens, you do such wonderful work. Been enjoying your songs for years.

    • @jaggerra7
      @jaggerra7 8 років тому +128

      +SKA Studios Ed Sheeran is a great songwriter, but his singing is very generic. He doesn't have much range and the only real emotion in his singing comes from the lyrics and not his voice. So props to him for writing it, but Peter Hollens singing is what brings it to life for me. I gave Ed Sheeran a like, but my views are all for Hollens.

    About three or four years ago I was looking for music for The Lord of Rings and came upon "I See Fire" by Ed Sheeran. In the list of suggested videos was a cover by someone named Peter Hollens. It was like following the White Rabbit. I discovered not only a great singer, but the Wonderland of a capella music. I found many terrific groups and singers through him, including my current obsession, Home Free. He's been a blessing to the a capella community and to this fan of amazing singing (his definitely included!)
    Thank you, Peter! You are the Gandalf of a capella. May your magic continue!
    (Yes, I mixed Wonderland and Middle Earth metaphors. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

      Kinda like my own fall down the rabbit hole. For me, it was Christmas several years ago and i was looking for "Mary Did You Know" and once i found him, i was truly lost. So many good a capella groups out there and i never would have found them if it hadn't been for Peter Hollens and his amazing talent.

    I have to say I prefer this version to Ed Sheeran's. Peter's way of singing suits the context better than Ed's more "pop style" singing. Peter sounds like a bard from ancient times with a straight and clear voice. Really, really well done!

    "I See Fire"
    Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
    Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
    And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
    Keep watching over Durin's sons
    If this is to end in fire
    Then we should all burn together
    Watch the flames climb high into the night
    Calling out father oh
    Stand by and we will
    Watch the flames burn auburn on
    The mountain side
    And if we should die tonight
    Then we should all die together
    Raise a glass of wine for the last time
    Calling out father oh
    Prepare as we will
    Watch the flames burn auburn on
    The mountain side
    Desolation comes upon the sky
    Now I see fire
    Inside the mountain
    I see fire
    Burning the trees
    And I see fire
    Hollowing souls
    I see fire
    Blood in the breeze
    And I hope that you remember me
    Oh, should my people fall
    Then surely I'll do the same
    Confined in mountain halls
    We got too close to the flame
    Calling out father oh
    Hold fast and we will
    Watch the flames burn auburn on
    The mountain side
    Desolation comes upon the sky
    Now I see fire
    Inside the mountain
    I see fire
    Burning the trees
    I see fire
    Hollowing souls
    I see fire
    Blood in the breeze
    And I hope that you remember me
    And if the night is burning
    I will cover my eyes
    For if the dark returns
    Then my brothers will die
    And as the sky is falling down
    It crashed into this lonely town
    And with that shadow upon the ground
    I hear my people screaming out
    Now I see fire
    Inside the mountains
    I see fire
    Burning the trees
    I see fire
    Hollowing souls
    I see fire
    Blood in the breeze
    I see fire (oh you know I saw a city burning out) (fire)
    And I see fire (feel the heat upon my skin, yeah) (fire)
    And I see fire (uh-uh-uh-uh) (fire)
    And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side

    I honestly prefer this cover to Ed Sheeran's original. Don't get me wrong - I like both! But I just feel that....something when I hear this version. My daughter has said the same. There's something transcendent about it being done entirely in human vocals when the last chorus plays. There's a power to it that I feel suits the Durins' saga better than the original. And it's done soooo weeeelllll!!! Peter went all out on the acapella range and nailed it! It gets a lot of play on my iPhone.

    Peter, I want to thank you for recording this song. Our infant daughter is 8 weeks old, and she has a condition that causes her to have bad headaches. She will outgrow it, but for now she cries a lot, and often screams for several hours at a time. My husband played your music for her a couple weeks ago in hopes it might calm her, and she loves it. "I see fire" is her favorite song, and when we play it for her, she stops crying almost immediately, calms, and watches the video intently until she finally falls asleep. She only likes your version of it, and many nights we play it for her for hours. When it stops, she begins to cry again, so we play it over and over. Being a parent as well as an artist, we thought you might like to know how special your music is, and how grateful we are that it soothes our little one when nothing else can. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world, and with our daughter. You are truly gifted.

    He has the kind of face where if I ever saw him cry I think I might just fall apart- I don't think I could handle it- he's so handsome but also precious like a little puppy >.

    I'm not the only one who thinks this version should have been on the DVD? This sound much more suited for the movie than the one that's on there. Sorry to the dude who sung this first, Peter is better =P

      For me Ed is much better, his voice is magical!

      Ed makes every note seem so effortless. It's also much, MUCH more soothing than Peters, though this could be due to the multiple sounds in the back. Peter has a very chorus-like voice. Belting out every note with a purpose. It even sounds like he has a choir singing with him which makes me feel like I'm going to church rather than an epic adventure. Neither is bad. I just think Ed's voice captures the true essence of the song. And to not know the guy who first sang this song....come on now...

      Both are great but I prefer Peter's.
