  • "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.

    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.

    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.
