GALADRIEL'S SONG - Song of Eldamar (Rachel Hardy and Timothy Shortell)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- My friend @TimothyShortellMusic and I wrote this song years ago but never got around to releasing it, so we decided to give it a fresh mix and finally put it out into the world. The lyrics are from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Fellowship of the Ring", one of my favorite books; "Galadriel's Song of Eldamar" is such a beautiful poem about longing and loss from the perspective of Galadriel as she laments her inability to return to Eldamar and its perpetual springtime. Coincidentally, Rings of Power (Season 2 Episode 2) dropped a song using the same poem a few days later, titled “Gil-galad’s song”.
Please check out some more of @TimothyShortellMusic's work; he is truly one of the most talented people I know and he put many, many hours into this piece!
It was also such a pleasure to have Anthony Catillaz on board to do some original artwork for this song! I absolutely love the finished piece. (Check out more of his work here: articoluminos....)

Elle sont génial
J. R. R. Tolkien was a pure genius and so are you in your own manner.
With such a voice, no doubt the guy would have saved a place for you in Valinor to sing alongside the Ainur.
Thanks for this piece of art.
So glad we could finally release this! I had a blast working on it and hope you all enjoy!
You absolutely killed it Timothy. I’m glad we could finally do something with the piece!!
This is stunning. Beautifully captures Galadriel's sadness, and I love the art/animation too. A lot of heart and soul went into this one, I can tell; fingers crossed that it becomes a new classic.
Thanks for the kind words Treebeard, I'm glad it resonates with you. Hopefully more of these to come down the road :)

Your singing, Rachel, always reaches the deepest corners of my soul.
Thank you so much Rachel for your new truly great song.
Beautiful song and sublime in execution
Love it!!!
La voix, la musique c'est magnifiques 👍☺️😻❤️💖
Beautiful thanks for this. I will sing it this way. 👌
Really majestic and profound. I agree it so captures the sadness of the Elves of Middle-Earth. So glad you polished this up and have shared it with us all! Thanks for this and all your other gems.
Perhaps more to come!
I've just been transported to Middle Earth, and I don't want to come back! Well done on such a beautiful song, you two! May the grace of the Valar always be upon you.
Oh, Rachel, what a masterpiece. I have been a LOTR fan for 50-years, and this is the most amazing, moving piece I've heard. Thank you for sharing your great talent with us.
Wow, that makes me so happy to hear you enjoyed it as a fellow LotR fan! We had so much fun making this and I hope to do more LotR originals in the future
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Beautiful and honestly I could see this fitting in the films, amazon should ask permission to use this as a closing theme for the final rings of power season
I was watching last night and they had a different version of this poem in song-form in the show! Still so cool to hear the poem get some love, it's such a good one.
@@RachelHardy Ooh thank you, I'll listen out for it when I give it a watch!
i click the Like button before video starts, thats how awesome i know its gonna be!
Emotionally encapsulating! You’ve come such a long way, Rachel! Admittedly a LotR fan but the music, voice, and lyrics really transport you. Amazing! Thank you for the journey!
I heard this excellent song on Facebook the first time. Beautiful music, and lyrics it shows the feelings of elves, specially Galadriel's laments.
There are a million words in my head, all of them fail to describe how much i love this. Please keep up the Tolkien-work!!!
Glad to hear it resonates! I would love to do more LotR pieces ✨
Bravo 👍👏👏👏😮😮
The voice of an angel. I've been a fan for a long time but this still blew my mind even knowing how high the bar of expectation was set.
I would like to see a version of this where the music is less powerful and more supportive and the flow is then more of a melody. I think it would sound beautiful.
this is beautiful
This is so amazing, thank you for feeling my life with such amazing music.
Welp I know exactly where I’m putting this. *Proceeds to put it into my “Lord of the Rings” playlist.* This song is really beautiful and you were spectacular. Makes me want to read the series now.
Aw thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed it and could find a new song for your playlist
Absolutely beautiful. Great job, @RachelHardy!
OMG - so gorgeous. I'm blown away. Well done!
Morning Rachel and thankyou for this incredibly moving and beautiful song. It's amazing, great job.
She's nothing less than a goddess with godly beauty and a godly voice 🥺
¡Me encanta tu trabajo Rachel 🎶☺️...te mando un gran abrazo, desde Argentina 🇦🇷!!!💐🙌🏼🥂
Only you can sing the most beautiful cover of this magical song so amazingly.
Thank you Rachel Hardy
👍👏🌹🌹🌹💕.
So fantasic and relax music. I love your music so much💖💖💖
❤❤❤
First I was, wait I know this voice, I checked and was happy to hear that new song, but the end of it ... stunning, wasn't expecting this, love it !
If you are ever up for it, you should totally sing a cover of Hushabye Mountain, I think you can really pull it off! Your voice is so ethereal and amazing.
Rachel you never cease to amaze me, you could angels weep with the beauty of your voice xx much love ❤️
Un monde que rachel a construit ❤et ce monde c'est ça musique
❤❤❤❤❤❤
😻😻
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nah, this original LOTR fan song is just perfect, I tell you!
Didn't know I needed it but now I'm addicted!
Timothy and you did wonderful, I might go in the vault to secure the song for when I don't have internet connection =)
Thank you Arslan, do glad you enjoyed it! And yes, enjoy your Patreon-exclusive free downloads (take notes, everyone) ;)
This is amazing, Rachel! You really knocked this out of the park! I also always love how you use the background instrumentals really well (actually having musical themes and good orchestration instead of just a guitar strumming chords), and the upright/tubular chimes are a very nice touch! Seriously, you knocked this one out of the park!
Hi Christopher! Thank you for your kind words -- the orchestration and backtrack production on this piece was all by my friend and collaborator Timothy Shortell! He does incredible work. If you liked the instrumental on this one I would highly recommend checking out more of his work. His username is linked at the top of the description!
Very well done!!!! Your vocals never disappoint. I'm surprise that Atom Music Audio or Amadea Music Production hasn't pick you up with some of their composers.
I've done a bit of work with Atom Music in the past, it was a great time!
@@RachelHardy
Awesome 👍 I’ll have to look you up in their catalogs Albums.
This is the type of music I've been wanting to listen to
Glad to be of service!
Beautiful song. Well done both of you. Listening to this on friday was just perfect.
I'm in love with this song omg
eeeee I'm so glad
It sounds great
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
love your work Rachel
Wow, thank you so much for the Super Thanks Isaac!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)

Gorgeous, as always!
Спасибо соолнышко, ты неизменно великолепна!!!
My God! 😮🙌 this is fantastic!! Pure 🔥 Powerful, deep, haunting and Rachel's voice compliments the music perfectly ❤😊 Great work all of you
Never clicked that fast, loving the LoTR covers recently amazing work
Well Done!
Damn! The build up. The orchestration. Geez! Since the Last goodbye video to this day there's such a huge difference and so much growing. I love it!
Timothy really killed it on the orchestration for this!!
This piece is so lovely, Rachel. You and Timothy should be very proud of your work.
Thank you!!
Amazing work, I can see Galadriel walking throug Lothlorien singing this.
Please add one of these to your list!
Lay of Nimrodel
Luthien Tinuviel
Lament for Boromir
Fantastic! I love it when artists turn Tolkien's poems into song, and this one is perfect.
beautiful song and interpretation😍
Great as always! Would love to hear more originals from you.
Incredible! Very well done!
Another amazing piece 🎉🎉🎉
Your sound and voice and music integration are always wonderful
This is gorgeous. Well done!
Amazing amazing work!! My only issues is the "r" were not rolled, but that's mostly a linguist thing. We look forward to when you do the Golden Leaves from Rings of Power season 2 in Elvish! Now that will be a joy to listen to.
masterpiece!
Beautiful job ❤
Really beautiful.
Keep crushing it!
That is amazing!
Fantastic work, the world created by Tolkien is a masterpiece, and this is a great hommage.
Lovely
Such a beautiful song! It is majestic and melancholic, as befits an ancient Elven queen

“I shall NOT be Dark. (All evil) will despair”, The elves (Galadriel especially is one of the few remaining that existed before the sun & moon. They pre-existed day & night.) How utterly, completely terrifying do you think it would be for your whole world to irrevocably change in a matter of an hour? For the thousands of years of (what you would come to know as twilight to be abruptly ended in a profundity of genuinely painful light and an infinity of colour? Of the joy, wonder and terror of distinguishing the difference between green and blue for the very first time in your whole life?)
She is talking about the immediate, majestic sublimity of reality that one experiences in it's totality for the very first time. How on earth could that not be so terrifying as to threaten one's sanity?
Galadriel with the ring would be exactly as beautiful and horrifying. I personally would not know whether to weep bitterly and perfectly, or claw my eyes out through the sheer, unutterable terror of her being in such a circumstance.
But know this: she was showing Frodo what would happen if someone else got the ring. She wasn’t tempted at all. Gandalf tells. Galadriel shows. See the difference now. Two sides of the same coin. Both were needed.
(But yes there was a more fluid beauty full of colour before the rise of the sun. Her uncle, Fingolfin, whilst in middle earth beheld the first rising of the sun and to see this wide field before him in even more definition than before while he was in Middle Earth. This was also the beginning of the dominion of men.)

“Beautiful & Terrible as the dawn” Galadriel was quite correct to call the morning and night both “beautiful and terrible…”. In truth the physical and metaphysical natures of morning and night were both by turns beautiful and terrible.
First the morning. Physically the morning is the result of the golden fruit of Laurëlin, transformed into a vessel by Aulë’s craftsmen, hallowed by Varda and piloted by the fiery Maiarin spirit Arien. The sun was so terrifyingly powerful that its radiance instilled fear even into Melkor’s heart and defied the assault of his minions. She literally gave up her physical form to take her original form and enveloped the sun; becoming its flames we see today.
Physically the sun is a beautiful golden orb yet it is simultaneously terrifying in its intensity and cannot be observed directly for more than an instant without pain. Metaphysically the morning is beautiful because it diminishes the evil power of those creatures who haunt the night, gives strength to the righteous and because it illuminates the serene loveliness of Valinor and Middle-earth. Metaphysically the morning is terrible because it obscures the light of the stars and sheds light on the ugly reality of Arda Marred, whose very substance is corrupted by the power of Melkor.
Last the night. The night is the Void surrounding the globe of Arda, which existed even before the creation of the Ainur at the beginning of time itself. Physically the beauty of the night lies in the fact . Physically the terror of the night is that it conceals the beauty of Arda and limits the senses of the elves and gives strength to the creatures of evil such as orcs, trolls and the Ringwraiths.
Metaphysically the night is beautiful because it is during the hours of darkness that the stars of Varda, the most beloved creations for the elves, shine most brightly. Metaphysically the terror of the night for elves, who are irretrievably bound to the world of Arda, is that the Void represents the interstellar coldness which is the prison of Morgoth.
Terrible in its more original archaic form didn’t always mean “bad”
(the sun stuff was to move it into a place where Melkor couldn’t go by virtue of how the Valar and Maiar are bound to the world until it’s ending; (which isn’t the true end either. It’s deep stuff. There ends up another song of creation which all kindreds take part in and working with the powers of that long ago past of our world to rebuild everything. Even the Mountains too, healing it after Dagor Dagorath, Also known as the final battle, the worlds ending.
Becoming the greater version of the original form before Melkor’s discord into the first music and so forth which dictated eventually what all ended up ensuing when they entered the world the first time which also was interesting because when they entered it after seeing the complete version it hadn’t been done yet so that was millions of years of work which lead to Middle Earth and the other lands being the remnants of it. Including Valinor being the only remnant of an even older world. At that time of building and tending to the world when the world was young.)
Such a hauntingly beautiful song and performance, Rachel!
Since I havent helped enough yet, take this adventurer! Let it help you on your journey!
