dont you think there was such a strong feeling of the neverending story? especially at peters falsetto up in the higher note that sounded like high glass harmonica sound. when i heard it i had flashes from the film fantasy and the the never ending story when atrau goes to see the oracal
Please! Pray peruse Peter/Tim in the link (The Sound of Silence) 6 yrs ago. In your Tea Time w/ Tim you were surprised they went back to 2003. This was my first and was mesmerized, they were perfect singing together. Note: You can add the sublime! the perfect trio! You optimize their synergy, you have their same candor and bubbling personality! ruclips.net/video/3HboNZ8HFF8/видео.html
If you love low notes, then you MUST experience the work of Clamavi de Profundis, if you haven't already. Far Over the Misty Mountains was from the Hobbit, not the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the song was referring to the lost dwarven kingdom of Erebor, not Dwarrowdelf (Moria). Only part of the poem/song were used in the film, so here is the full work, dramatically performed. It will give you goosebumps as you feel the deep and utter sadness of the loss of their kingdom, and maybe even shed a tear. ruclips.net/video/P8ymgFyzbDo/видео.html
One thing a lot of people seem to miss/forget was that this song/poem was written by Tolkien himself. It is in The Hobbit in the chapter An Unexpected Party. It seems many people believe this was made for the movie which is incorrect. Tolkien was a mastermind of fantasy, world building, and immersion
Yes Tolkien wrote the lyrics but the piece was originally called lonely Mountain not misty Mountain as it is talking about the loss of the dwarfhold 'lonely Mountain' to Smaug
@JediNxf7 True. Most of the verses are in "An Unexpected Party" (10) , some "Queer Lodgings" (6), where the party stays at BEORN and some in "The Gathering of the Clouds" (7), after the slaying of Smaug.
When you are talking about Peter, you talk about and appreciate his technical abilities, then Tim comes on the screen and you scrunch your shoulders and giggle like a school girl. It's freaking adorable 😆🤣😂
When the CLEAN yet SHARP Beta (NOT DISSING.. THIS CAN APOLLO THE HECK OUTTA GALS) + the RUGGED yet THICK ALPHA (We're goin werewolf folks) make the MOST BEAUTIFUL Music Period.
Yep. She's definitely covered in "mist" after this one. I wasn't sure when I saw your comment, but good lord, I was worried I was on PH for a few moments there!
Oh my gosh that reaction at 13:01 - that is a passion for music you can't fake. I love your authenticity and connection to the music you work with. Great video as always!
This is something I absolutely love about her, she always finds something to appreciate, even when it might necessarily be her personal cup of tea. Really shows her love and passion for music in general and not just one genre.
I can't imagine anyone wanting this to sound any differently than it does considering the theme of the project. The production has a layer of ancient dust over it, damp air, and mystery. Even the look of the video is perfect for this piece. I've been waiting for a vocal coach to react to this, thanks for taking up the gauntlet.
As a woman I confirm this to be TRUE and by the way this is my like 15th time I played back to that dropp. There just is something soo primal, its instinct.
Heck, I'd just have to see him walk into a bar (seen him lately? Lost weight, cut his hair short and rocking the gray streak like a boss). I'd be giggling like a lovestruck schoolgirl... and I had already graduated high school when he was born!
Funny to see a guy with this last name "Lozinski" under a video that more or less is about the lord of the rings. In Poland we had 2 translations of the books. One from Skibniewska and one from Łoziński :D
I find it absolutely beautiful seeing someone so engaged in something they love and show pure unfiltered emotion. Your facial expressions when you listen to these songs are completely raw and captivating. Subbed instantly.
I LOVE the faces Elizabeth makes when she hears a bass hit a note around a gb2 to a A1. Its almost a primal enjoyment listening to Tim destroy peoples speakers!
Love how your reactions aren't just professional but personal. You project knowledge without arrogance. I truly enjoy watching you enjoying all types of music!
Now, you need to try "Song of Durin" by Clamavi de Profundis (another dwarf song from Lord of the Rings). The text is brilliant AND the music is awesome. You will sh*t bricks!
Yeah these guys are talented and I’ve heard Peter in other things, but they have the cadence wrong and the pronunciations feel muddy compared to Clamavi de Profundis.
Clamavi De Profundis has a ton of songs and poetry from the Lord of the Rings, and it is beautiful! Their rendition of this song is 20 minutes long! I recommend "The Song of Durin," "Roads Go Ever On," "Lament for Boromir," and "The Song of Beren and Luthien." I actually recommend them all, goodness me. There are acapella versions.
Since she mentions the lore of the misty mountains, for those who are interested: The song is about the fall of Erebor, 171 years before the events in the Hobbit (not so anciant after all but in medieval fantasy everything has an ancient vibe) and the desire of Thorin's family to return to their home. Curiously Erebor, the Lonely Mountain, is not part of the Misty Mountains though. Erebor was one of the settlements of Thorin's ancestors. It was discovered more or less 840 years before the events of the Hobbit. It was abandoned 200 years later and repopulated almost 400 more years later. Finally, Smaug arrived from the north and occupied the fortress.
@@henrypaleveda7760 the song itself is to do with the fleeing and going back. wind was moaning and trees were burning as they fled. the long forgotten gold is as they are going back because its been so long. its not uncommon for stories and ideals to be passed down through song, as far as the movie is concerned this would have been written after they fled, to leave something for the younger dwarves to remind them to go back. I say the movie, as that is not the version thats in the book. after reading the original commenters comment though, Im just repeating what they said without a bunch of timeframes thrown in.
I enjoyed your analysis of everything, but that reaction to Tim's last low note was borderline obscene! I LOVE it! That cackle and facial expression just sell the reaction so well and make it so genuine. Kudos to you.
@@PeterHollens i watched your videos bridge of troubled waters and a couple others you have a great voice just wanted to commend you on the excellent videos
Tims G#1 is sooo amazing. Check some of their lives, he completely drowns out the rest of the group when he holds it. Literally rattles the stage and the cameras, and distorts the speakers.
I saw a comment by Peter Hollins to another reactor. He commented that he had to get up really early in the morning to sing the very high notes. He is an incredible artist, and of course Tim is also one if my favorites. Great reaction, your love of music shines through all of your reactions.
I love her very visceral reactions to music and sounds. I have that too, without having the knowledge to explain what is happening in the music that makes me feel that way
This was a fantastic video, Elizabeth! All the geekiness, and appreciation of everything these two are capable of. That ending just takes the whole song to a different place, grabs you, and doesn't let you go.
Hahah... This is a brillant choice 👍😁 Can't wait to see your reaction on this. And now.. Please.. Do Home Free "Mayday". After getting to know Tim's Basso Profundo, "Mayday" will blow your socks off 😁
15:00 Love the little girl squeak, and she sheer joy with which you approach the performance, as if you're enjoying a sumptuous feast, savoring every flavor, texture and presentation! Great reaction!
There's a much nerdier Peter Hollens "Tolkien" tribute Medley.... Hobbit Drinking Medley - Peter Hollens feat. Hank Green!! So very many Peters and Hanks.
I have been listening to Peter Hollens for quite some time now. He is a talented vocalist and producer, but is also just such A NICE PERSON. Tim Foust is a legend. This version of Misty Mountains is so good that at times you can feel it in your bones. Peter Hollens does collaborations with other vocalists as well and has some really beautiful covers. I Love Avi Kaplan and Peter singing the beautiful song "Black is the color of my True Love's Hair". Nina Simone originally sang it, I believe, but until the Peter and Avi collaboration, The Corr's cover was my favorite. It would be fun to see you discuss all three of those versions of that song. Thank you very much for discussing the Misty Mountains cover today. I always look forward to your videos. - Cymru
He made another cover of a LOTR song called Into the West. It’s from the return of the king I believe when Frodo gets on the ship with the elves. This song is very special to me because it’s the last song my dad performed before he passed away.
That song is special to me also. My late wife loved it. She died in a freak accident and we had it played at her graveside. It is hard for me to hear it and not cry. It is truly a special song.
That piece has been played at a lot of funerals - it is, after all, about Frodo and Bilbo taking ship into the West and leaving middle earth to be finally healed of the lasting effects of the One Ring - casting off the cares of the mortal world.
Love your reaction, both on the video, the harmonies, and certainly Tim's ending note. I can't help thinking of a ship entering a harbour.. That horn is what Tim sounds like! 🤣 And speaking of Hollen's range: Now is the right time to listen to Home Free's "Mayday". On that track Tim shows his range, and Adam Chance offers a surprise.
If i could suggest some song from Peter Hollens it would be: * Toss a coin to your witcher (From the show Witcher) * Hellfire (from Hunchback of notre dame) * Spooky Halloween Mashup - Come Little Children & The Hanging Tree - Peter Hollens & Bailey Pelkman * I see fire (Ed sheeran cover from The Hobbit) * Epic Halloween medley (Fits the month perfect!) He´s Amazing! Love both him and Home Free Love from Sweden! :D

Speaking of Nerdom, would you ever react to music a game developer put out? Warbringer: Jaina, song "Daughter of the Sea". Performed by both Laura Bailey (the characters actual voice actress) and Donal Kearney. Peter here even did a cover of it. Would love to know your impressions.
Lovely Video! If you like this one, I suggest you watch something by Clamavi De Profundis! They make a LOT of LOTR inspired music and do a lot of multi-vocal stuff!
I highly recommend Peter and Tim's version of Greensleeves. Beautiful harmonies again, but Tim shows off more of the tenor part of his range and jumps between the basement and attic like it's no big thing. I don't know why more people don't react to that one.
Yes - you mentioned FifGen, but did you know that two of the trio that made up FifGen are also singers and musicians, and now have their own channel as the Hound and the Fox?
Love the gorgeous pairing of Peter and Tim in this deep, mystical song. Put this video on a computer or on a TV and watch Tim's body as he sings that incredible low note at the end. The low note makes his body quiver. If you watch his fur collar on the coat, you can see the hairs quivering. These two gentlemen, their entire production and mixing team did an over the top job with the music, attire and scenery. You feel like you are right in the story of the The Lord of the Rings.
"Black is the Color of my True Love's Hair" by Peter Hollens featuring Avi Kaplan will surely make you go "Woah" at least a dozen times throughout! I'd love to see it reacted to on your channel! Keep up the wonderful work!😊
Both Peter and Tim have done numerous collabs together, including "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Sound of Silence" and "Greensleeves" all worth checking out. Methinks you would really enjoy Peter and Avi Kaplan's "Black Is The Color Of My True Love' s Hair" as well if you dig the contrasted harmonies between a tenor and a singer with a much lower register like Tim or Avi. Great vid as always, really enjoyed your reaction as usual :)
Oh yeah! If you think Peter and Tim blend well, just wait for the mix of Peter's and Avi's timbres. I believe you used the word lush several times? You ain't hear lush yet!
If you loved this, you will be happy to know that Peter and Tim have collaborated on several other songs, my favorite being their version of Sound of Silence. Peter also did Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair with Avi Kaplan and it's stunning. Peter and friends did an awesome medley from Hamilton. His collaboration with the Gardiner Sisters on a Pirates of the Caribbean medley is a must-hear. Also his Disney Villains Medley, and his version of Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dame. Throw in some Lindsay Sterling on violin and you have a very cool Skyrim cover. I would love to see your take on those. I don't know if you've heard of the Swingle Singers. They did a Hollins collaboration, too. But they do incredible a capella arrangements of everything from folk songs, pop standards, to jazz and classical instrumental pieces. Yes, instrumentals, as in Bach. As a classically-trained singer myself, I get goosebumps whenever I hear a capella done really well. Speaking of Tim, on behalf of us Home Fries, I just wanna throw out there this one by Home Free: Folsom Prison Blues. I know a lot of people will want to hear Mayday (and Tim is amazing as always) but as a Johnny Cash fan, I think the guys just made the best cover of this song I have ever heard. Okay, I'll stop fangirling now. I love watching your reactions. Keep up the good work!
I can also recommend listening to the LOTR songs of Clamavi de Profundis, for example Durins Song and the Ents March to Isengart. Peter is also a good source, for example the hobbits drinking meddly or his Disney covers.
DAMN! Her reaction is perfectly embracing of the deep melodic and vibrating harmonies as if it's sweeping her away on a magic carpet perfectly embraced and safe in it's fabric! Can never get enough of her enjoyment in the moments just before her comments! I feel like such a voyeur while watching her, however, that's not gonna stop me from doing so!
While on the subject of acapella - I highly recommend Peter's version of Baba Yetu from Civilization with Malukah! As well as "Notre Dame Medley" by the Ringmasters, a European (Swedish, I think?) Barbershop quartet performing live in one of the best acapella performances I ever saw!
Tim Foust is an amazing bass, one of the best around these days imho. Peter is quite simply one of the most talented singers ever. I love just about anything either of these guys does!
Peter Hollens has done over 140 layered tracks for a single song before and no instruments, just ALL of the music and background singing done with voice, humming, claps, finger snaps, foot stomps, etc! You should definitely watch ALL of his videos but a few really good ones that I would start with are "Desert Rose", "I See Fire", "Ultimate Queen Medley", "Baba Yetu" (the lords prayer sung in Swahili), and a duet with his wife of "What Are Words" with 'The Piano Guys' playing on that! BTW, another great singer/song you should do is Chris Stapleton doing "Tennessee Whiskey"!
This is a pretty neat arrangement. Gotta say, though, in many ways I prefer the original track from the scene this song is from in the first Jackson Hobbit film. I really like how raw and honest (probably the wrong word) the performance is. I like all of the little imperfections from the cast who sang it. It gives this feeling of reality, that these guys are really dwarves and from time to time they sing, even though they aren’t singers. And though the track isn’t as polished as the one for this arrangement, I think it still sounds superb.
Great voices but I didn't like the arrangement to be honest, one of the main characteristics of this song is the low voices of the dwarves, those high notes here don't fit the song at all in my opinion.
@@aizahenowayland5246 I look at it as the Elves and Dwarves having a moment to sing together after the Battle of the Five Armies. A tribute to the fallen King under the Mountain and his final charge
@JediNxf7 5. "Misty Mountains" (Music by David Donaldson, David Long, Steve Roche and Janet Roddick;[62] performed by Richard Armitage and The Dwarf Cast)
They did an amazing job capturing the essence of magic and ageless history of this song. I believe Tolkien would have been proud of the production they presented.
I first heard Peter Hollens a few years ago, he did a song with the amazing violinist Lindsey Stirling. The whole song was just his voice and her violin. It's an awesome song. Think it was called Skyrim.
Clamavi de Profundis has created some really incredible music from lord of the rings, they have a range of singers that they use but the music is really amazing
So... what I'm hearing is that we need to get Elizabeth to react to Blind Guardian. They have tons of songs based on/inspired by LOTR -- in fact, one entire album based on The Silmarillion!
As you love Peter's layering with clean notes, I think his cover of Dark Horse with Sam Tsui is one of the best examples. It plays with your ear so cleverly. Peter Hollens also did a Hobbit Drinking Songs Medley, if that's something that you'd be interested in.
I think that their voices blend toghether very well. I would suggest that you listen to some other colabs between them. Like Bridge over troubled water or Greensleaves
Hi Elizabeth! Congratulations on receiving your Silver RUclips Button Plaque!! I Loved this performance and I Loved your Reaction & Analysis! Peter and Tim brought us this Amazing song and performance even J.R.R. Tolkien would have Loved!! I also Love your Black top/dress...although I wish it was the color Green and you had some, "elvish ears," so that you could portray the fictional character, "Tauriel." Thank You, Elizabeth!!! I hope You and Kirk have an Amazing Day/Weekend in AZ!!! :-)
Thank you Kirby ! A Tauriel look would be nice. I finally got the Silver Button Plaque and it's the fruit of all of our labors. Have an amazing weekend as welll!
Peter, Tim, Avi, Geoff and so many others have done wonderful collab videos on RUclips, and I love them all! After years of following guitarists and pianists, I have finally found that I love a capella singing just as much as a great guitar lick or piano performance! And I especially love all of your reactions and shared joy!

Definitely check out Home Free’s cover of Mayday-Cam
i really want that but shes not ready yet...
Tim's unflinching stare directly into the camera is really commanding!
Have a listen of the "Clamavi de Profundis" take on this 'song'. They're another acapella group you'll enjoy.
It makes me very happy to see people suggesting this!!
I have been listening to Peter Hollens for quite some time now. He is a talented vocalist and producer, but is also just such A NICE PERSON. Tim Foust is a legend. This version of Misty Mountains is so good that at times you can feel it in your bones. Peter Hollens does collaborations with other vocalists as well and has some really beautiful covers. I Love Avi Kaplan and Peter singing the beautiful song "Black is the color of my True Love's Hair". Nina Simone originally sang it, I believe, but until the Peter and Avi collaboration, The Corr's cover was my favorite. It would be fun to see you discuss all three of those versions of that song. Thank you very much for discussing the Misty Mountains cover today. I always look forward to your videos. - Cymru
He made another cover of a LOTR song called Into the West. It’s from the return of the king I believe when Frodo gets on the ship with the elves. This song is very special to me because it’s the last song my dad performed before he passed away.
Also, check Black is the color of my true loves hair! It features Avi.
These are very good choices. Hope to make your wish come true soon. Thanks Salty!
That song is special to me also. My late wife loved it. She died in a freak accident and we had it played at her graveside. It is hard for me to hear it and not cry. It is truly a special song.
That piece has been played at a lot of funerals - it is, after all, about Frodo and Bilbo taking ship into the West and leaving middle earth to be finally healed of the lasting effects of the One Ring - casting off the cares of the mortal world.
He has an entire album dedicated to LOTR. I personally enjoy May It Be and In Dreams the most.
I love how we can SEE you get goosebumps when the low notes hit
Love your reaction, both on the video, the harmonies, and certainly Tim's ending note.
I can't help thinking of a ship entering a harbour.. That horn is what Tim sounds like! 🤣
And speaking of Hollen's range:
Now is the right time to listen to Home Free's "Mayday".
On that track Tim shows his range, and Adam Chance offers a surprise.
Suddenly, "Lord of the Rings - the Musical" doesn't sound like a bad idea after all.
If i could suggest some song from Peter Hollens it would be:
* Toss a coin to your witcher (From the show Witcher)
* Hellfire (from Hunchback of notre dame)
* Spooky Halloween Mashup - Come Little Children & The Hanging Tree - Peter Hollens & Bailey Pelkman
* I see fire (Ed sheeran cover from The Hobbit)
* Epic Halloween medley (Fits the month perfect!)
He´s Amazing! Love both him and Home Free
Love from Sweden! :D

Music and nerd stuff. You are awesome. Love watching your videos.
So you do know that Tim's the one hitti g that c2 I believe it was
Speaking of Nerdom, would you ever react to music a game developer put out? Warbringer: Jaina, song "Daughter of the Sea". Performed by both Laura Bailey (the characters actual voice actress) and Donal Kearney. Peter here even did a cover of it. Would love to know your impressions.
Lovely Video! If you like this one, I suggest you watch something by Clamavi De Profundis! They make a LOT of LOTR inspired music and do a lot of multi-vocal stuff!
Voces8. Their version of May it be is really astounding.
I highly recommend Peter and Tim's version of Greensleeves. Beautiful harmonies again, but Tim shows off more of the tenor part of his range and jumps between the basement and attic like it's no big thing. I don't know why more people don't react to that one.
Only Tim Foust makes people skip the reaction parts on a reaction video.
*insert fangirl squeal here*
Suggestion: The Dragonborn Comes by Malukah or Lament for Thorin By Peter Hollens feat. Eurielle
I'd love to hear Tim, Avi, and Geoff team up to sing this together.
This song finally made me watch The Hobbit and download a bunch of open-world epic RPG games... nostalgia di LOTR! Can't wait for this one!
If you like lord of the rings, you should definitely react to Peter Hollen ‘s version of “I see fire”
You might like to listen to "The Hound and the Fox" they're a couple who have worked with Home Free and Peter Hollens on occasion...
I like their ( fox and hound) recent Halloween piece
Three Kings by them has Tim too
Yes - you mentioned FifGen, but did you know that two of the trio that made up FifGen are also singers and musicians, and now have their own channel as the Hound and the Fox?
Love the gorgeous pairing of Peter and Tim in this deep, mystical song. Put this video on a computer or on a TV and watch Tim's body as he sings that incredible low note at the end. The low note makes his body quiver. If you watch his fur collar on the coat, you can see the hairs quivering. These two gentlemen, their entire production and mixing team did an over the top job with the music, attire and scenery. You feel like you are right in the story of the The Lord of the Rings.
This arraignment, with Tim's low notes gives me chills and weirdly makes my eyes water. I love it!
I'm not the only one. 🙌🏼
Me too.❤️
He + Peter really captured the essence of Tolkien's universe and the "aura" emitted in it.
Clamavi De Profundis has an amazing rendition of the Song of Durin that absolutely blew me away even i heard it. I definitely recommend.
"Black is the Color of my True Love's Hair" by Peter Hollens featuring Avi Kaplan will surely make you go "Woah" at least a dozen times throughout! I'd love to see it reacted to on your channel!
Keep up the wonderful work!😊
Pls, you MUST see the danish national orchestra version of this. Its just magical. Hope you see this comment and enjoy your day.
Check out Peter's duet with his wife Evynne Hollens "The Prayer"
yes
Definitely
So much yes, it was one of my first Peter Hollens videos I ever watched and I got hooked
... WATCH the video when Tim sings his low note. .... as it goes on, the camera starts vibrating, and they didn't edit it out. It's epic. :)
Where is it?
@@tomekstec981 At the end..... keep an eye on the feathery thing on Tim's shoulder when it starts to shake....so does the camera
So, are you going to check out Peter's collab with Avi Kaplan next?
Black Is The Color...
14:00 I LOVE THE LOW NOTES 14:03 oh shit, i gotta be composed. 14:08 You know what? ****** it
Both Peter and Tim have done numerous collabs together, including "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Sound of Silence" and "Greensleeves" all worth checking out. Methinks you would really enjoy Peter and Avi Kaplan's "Black Is The Color Of My True Love' s Hair" as well if you dig the contrasted harmonies between a tenor and a singer with a much lower register like Tim or Avi. Great vid as always, really enjoyed your reaction as usual :)
Oh yeah! If you think Peter and Tim blend well, just wait for the mix of Peter's and Avi's timbres. I believe you used the word lush several times? You ain't hear lush yet!
Man your followers have great taste!!!
Jesus, this is pure ear candy. I LOVE these harmonies.
If you loved this, you will be happy to know that Peter and Tim have collaborated on several other songs, my favorite being their version of Sound of Silence.
Peter also did Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair with Avi Kaplan and it's stunning.
Peter and friends did an awesome medley from Hamilton. His collaboration with the Gardiner Sisters on a Pirates of the Caribbean medley is a must-hear. Also his Disney Villains Medley, and his version of Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dame. Throw in some Lindsay Sterling on violin and you have a very cool Skyrim cover. I would love to see your take on those.
I don't know if you've heard of the Swingle Singers. They did a Hollins collaboration, too. But they do incredible a capella arrangements of everything from folk songs, pop standards, to jazz and classical instrumental pieces. Yes, instrumentals, as in Bach. As a classically-trained singer myself, I get goosebumps whenever I hear a capella done really well.
Speaking of Tim, on behalf of us Home Fries, I just wanna throw out there this one by Home Free: Folsom Prison Blues. I know a lot of people will want to hear Mayday (and Tim is amazing as always) but as a Johnny Cash fan, I think the guys just made the best cover of this song I have ever heard.
Okay, I'll stop fangirling now. I love watching your reactions. Keep up the good work!
Elizabeth
Geoff just released his cover of this song today.
I've heard both versions and personally prefer Geoff's version.
Love both as they are somewhat different since Geoff uses instruments…but still totally awesome! I hope this one get a reaction too!!
The REALLY mind-blowing about the last note is that it is nowhere near the bottom of Foust's range.
Foust's vocal range is just criminal !
It reminds me of learning to sing Greggorian Chants in college. My vice coach made me sing bass solo. Semper Cresies (,sp)
I can also recommend listening to the LOTR songs of Clamavi de Profundis, for example Durins Song and the Ents March to Isengart. Peter is also a good source, for example the hobbits drinking meddly or his Disney covers.
Oh, I just posted asking for Clamavi's Song of Beren and Luthien and then I found this comment. I absolutely support this proposition!
DAMN! Her reaction is perfectly embracing of the deep melodic and vibrating harmonies as if it's sweeping her away on a magic carpet perfectly embraced and safe in it's fabric! Can never get enough of her enjoyment in the moments just before her comments! I feel like such a voyeur while watching her, however, that's not gonna stop me from doing so!
While on the subject of acapella - I highly recommend Peter's version of Baba Yetu from Civilization with Malukah!
As well as "Notre Dame Medley" by the Ringmasters, a European (Swedish, I think?) Barbershop quartet performing live in one of the best acapella performances I ever saw!
If you like this one, you should hear Peter and Tim's take on Sound of Silence.
Tim Foust is an amazing bass, one of the best around these days imho. Peter is quite simply one of the most talented singers ever. I love just about anything either of these guys does!
Please react to more of Peter Holllens. He has covered all of the Lord of the Rings songs and he is a treasure that needs to be shared.
For an entire string of low notes you should react to Home Free's cover of Folsom Prison Blues.
That will be the acoustic equivalence of "pulling a train"...
You have to listen to Beast in Black - Blind and Frozen, the lead singer is quite incredible!
Oh, yes! He‘s amazing!
Your reaction to low notes always cracks me up 😂
Yeah. 13:03 Thats about the reaction girls have when he sings low
Peter Hollen I heard before with violinist Linsey Stirling on Skyrim or Game of thrones themes, but Tim Faust is very interesting too :)
Peter Hollens has done over 140 layered tracks for a single song before and no instruments, just ALL of the music and background singing done with voice, humming, claps, finger snaps, foot stomps, etc! You should definitely watch ALL of his videos but a few really good ones that I would start with are "Desert Rose", "I See Fire", "Ultimate Queen Medley", "Baba Yetu" (the lords prayer sung in Swahili), and a duet with his wife of "What Are Words" with 'The Piano Guys' playing on that!
BTW, another great singer/song you should do is Chris Stapleton doing "Tennessee Whiskey"!
You really need to hear Geoff Castellucci's new cover of Blackbird, it is absolutely amazing.
This. This. This. It is crazy good.
When she says "I love the low notes" just like Golem says "My Precious".
This is a pretty neat arrangement. Gotta say, though, in many ways I prefer the original track from the scene this song is from in the first Jackson Hobbit film. I really like how raw and honest (probably the wrong word) the performance is. I like all of the little imperfections from the cast who sang it. It gives this feeling of reality, that these guys are really dwarves and from time to time they sing, even though they aren’t singers. And though the track isn’t as polished as the one for this arrangement, I think it still sounds superb.
Fully agree. The version in the movie was just perfect.
Great voices but I didn't like the arrangement to be honest, one of the main characteristics of this song is the low voices of the dwarves, those high notes here don't fit the song at all in my opinion.
@@aizahenowayland5246 I look at it as the Elves and Dwarves having a moment to sing together after the Battle of the Five Armies. A tribute to the fallen King under the Mountain and his final charge
ngtotd I like that idea.
@JediNxf7 5. "Misty Mountains" (Music by David Donaldson, David Long, Steve Roche and Janet Roddick;[62] performed by Richard Armitage and The Dwarf Cast)
They did an amazing job capturing the essence of magic and ageless history of this song. I believe Tolkien would have been proud of the production they presented.
More Peter Hollens for you with more awesome bass: Black is the Colour of my true Love's Hair with Avi ❤
I first heard Peter Hollens a few years ago, he did a song with the amazing violinist Lindsey Stirling. The whole song was just his voice and her violin. It's an awesome song. Think it was called Skyrim.
Clamavi de Profundis has created some really incredible music from lord of the rings, they have a range of singers that they use but the music is really amazing
IF you want Pure Harmonics then Home Free's cover : Hopelessly Hoping
*helplessly hoping
But yes, absolutely
@@okidoki7886 thanks for the correction, want her to get the right vid 8)_
OH COME ON.....DON'T MAKE US WAIT 😢😢😢😢😢
Time flies when you have fun. In that case, in this moment i'm not having fun at all...
If you like humming at the beginning of an arrangement, you need to check out "Arsonist's lullabye" - Hozier... aka Irish Jesus! Hauntingly beautiful!
So... what I'm hearing is that we need to get Elizabeth to react to Blind Guardian. They have tons of songs based on/inspired by LOTR -- in fact, one entire album based on The Silmarillion!
I love how you squirm in enjoyment to the low notes that are like seismic shock waves that go right through you.
As you love Peter's layering with clean notes, I think his cover of Dark Horse with Sam Tsui is one of the best examples. It plays with your ear so cleverly.
Peter Hollens also did a Hobbit Drinking Songs Medley, if that's something that you'd be interested in.
I think that their voices blend toghether very well. I would suggest that you listen to some other colabs between them. Like Bridge over troubled water or Greensleaves
Hi Elizabeth! Congratulations on receiving your Silver RUclips Button Plaque!! I Loved this performance and I Loved your Reaction & Analysis! Peter and Tim brought us this Amazing song and performance even J.R.R. Tolkien would have Loved!! I also Love your Black top/dress...although I wish it was the color Green and you had some, "elvish ears," so that you could portray the fictional character, "Tauriel." Thank You, Elizabeth!!! I hope You and Kirk have an Amazing Day/Weekend in AZ!!! :-)
Thank you Kirby ! A Tauriel look would be nice. I finally got the Silver Button Plaque and it's the fruit of all of our labors. Have an amazing weekend as welll!
I have watched this sooo many times. Your reaction to the G1 is gold. You have the most expressive face I think I have ever seen. Wonderful.
Home Free collaborates with Peter Hollens on "Amazing Grace" if you haven't heard it yet.(The collaboration, not the hymn...)
They also did "19 You and Me" together
YEEEES my fav.
Women are historically programmed to see deep voice sexy. It has something to do with alpha male and probability of making many descendants. 🤗
Deeper voice= more testosterone
More testosterone =more strength for protection and baby making ability.
Peter, Tim, Avi, Geoff and so many others have done wonderful collab videos on RUclips, and I love them all! After years of following guitarists and pianists, I have finally found that I love a capella singing just as much as a great guitar lick or piano performance! And I especially love all of your reactions and shared joy!
You had me at "Nerdom". Led Zeppelin often referenced LOTR
