I survived the California wildfires of 2017, 2019, and 2021. Ed Sheeran singing this never made anything happen for me, but hearing this cover suddenly I was back in those hills, trying to drive away from a wall of fire that to this day I think looked exactly like a golden snake travelling sideways down the grass. I can smell this song. Honestly I think the deep bass cover is way truer to the feeling of that. Call it moving to say the least! Thank you for this.

From left to right: Kili with his bow and largely beardless, Bofur with his fingerless gloves, hatchet, mattock and curly mustache, Fili with his braided mustache, slightly lighter hair and dagger, and then Thorin with his beard, hair beads, key to Erebor and Orchrist at hand. Also the clear inspiration to Mirkwood in the staging. The attention to detail in the video is just the cherry on top to the delightful sundae that is Mr. Geoff Castellucci's singing!

Fun fact, the reason for this working, its the deep voice. I'll explain, the infants ears work months before birth. He can remember. After birth, this new world seems foreign and not as comfortable, the deep voice sounds like the muffled sounds an infant hears in the womb. Same way holding a newborn and bobimg them up can stop them crying. The later example simulates a mom walking and the way the infant would bob up and down in the womb.

Idk why but it hit me like train and after thinking about it I've felt better than I ever have in my life. We all go through the fire.

Kind of tangential, but if you like Dwarvish music, you should check out Clamavi de Profundis.

Because the pain in my body was litterally fire. il felt fire in my body, also in my soul to fight to live, fight for my life. This song helpt me. I remember the moment I first wake up in my legs with the chorus, so powerful it was. It endend with the final "fire" when I was standing tall, all alone.

[@fittersitter]

In der Tat eine überzeugende Nummer. Allerdings erscheinen mir die tiefen Stimmen zu sehr nachbearbeitet. Mit den richtigen Tools kannst du aus einer tiefen Stimme eine RICHTIG tiefe Stimme machen (wie es in der Werbung ständig getan wird). Das klingt in meinen Ohren unecht, wenn auch gut. Aber wenn Dir diese Acapellaversion gefällt, empfehle ich Dir die Version von Peter Hollens. Die ist seit fast zehn Jahren in meiner Playlist, und jagt mir heute noch Schauer über den Rücken. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6rQhGSGl5x9nK8 Und wenn Du überhaupt auf Acapella stehst, such einfach mal nach Pentatonix. Mindblow!

[@sandraf.108]

@@fittersitter Da hast du wohl noch nicht viel von Geoff und Voiceplay gehört. Aber naja, jeder darf seine eigene Meinung haben.

[@Dodl1]

@fitter sitter Ich mag Pentatonix, aber ich finde Geoff und Voiceplay legen sich schauspielerisch und mit etwas mehr emotionaler Leidenschaft ins Zeug. Peter ist klasse, ich liebe seine Versionen auch sehr. Der Hauptunterschied finde ich liegt hier darin, dass Peter eher mit Menge an Layers von sich selbst arbeitet, während Geoff eher weniger dafür klug nachgearbeitete Tracka nutzt. Natürlich ist das Geschmackssache. Allerdings haben mich Geoffs Arrangements noch mehr überzeugt mit seiner enormen musikalischen Komplexität, 3-4 Oktaven (mind) und seiner Ausdruckskraft. Da kommt Peter, so gern ich ihn habe, meiner Meinung nach einfach nicht ganz ran 😉 Aber ich verurteile keinen, der ihn stilmäßig lieber mag als Geoff. Sie haben immer noch einen sehr guten Geschmack 😉 @alle Ich wünsche allen deutschsprachigen Lesern einen wunderschönen Tag/Abend/Nacht und noch viel Freude mit so guter Musik ❤

I can't wait!

I listened to it on Apple Music 😂

[@deanmarion5477]

I can’t wait for the bass low notes list and the high notes list also.

[@devistater6558]

As of 11 minutes ago, it's begun. I jumped on this as soon as I had a chance!

[@Knut-ErikWattum]

Your best yet. Keep on with your work. You are a inspiration and unike.

[@gracenewsom4694]

YES! THAT WAS SO GOOD! I loved how the character of each of the dwarves really came through in the performance, and there were moments that seriously gave me chills. Excellent job, and now I must go tell my Tolkien obsessed sisters of the amazingness you've done.

[@RealSmul]

Lyrics: [Intro] 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 [Verse 1] If this is to end in fire, then we should all burn together Watch the flames climb high into the night Callin' out, Father, oh, stand by and we will Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountainside high [Verse 2] And if we should die tonight, we should all die together Raise a glass of wine for the last time Callin' out, Father, oh, prepare as we will Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountainside Desolation comes upon the sky [Chorus] Now, I see fire inside the mountain I see fire burnin' the trees And I see fire hollowin' souls I see fire, blood in the breeze And I hope that you'll remember me [Verse 3] Oh, should my people fall then surely, I'll do the same Confined in mountain halls, we got too close to the flame Callin' out, Father, oh, hold fast and we will Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountainside Desolation comes upon the sky [Chorus] Now, I see fire inside the mountain I see fire burnin' the trees And I see fire hollowin' souls I see fire, blood in the breeze And I hope that you'll remember me [Bridge] 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's fallin' down, it crashed into this lonely town And with that shadow upon the ground, I hear my people screamin' out [Chorus] Now, I see fire inside the mountains I see fire burnin' the trees I see fire hollowin' souls I see fire, blood in the breeze And I hope that you'll remember me And I hope that you'll remember me And I hope that you'll remember..

[@WallyST675]

I showed my grandfather this video, he was absolutely shocked at the range and beauty of your voice.

[@habbyz]

The range this man has is utterly breathtaking

[@dylanreubenking4781]

I don't know if anybody else noticed this, but on the hum at 3:15, all the Geoffs move their heads in sync to their left and I thought that was cool. Oh and the song and is pretty cool too. In all seriousness, I think we all need to appreciate Geoff's vocal talent, arrangement skills, and his team's video production as well. It all deserves so much more flowers, and cookies, and all that fuzzy stuff

This tore and ripped into my soul. Suddenly memories of my uncle came rushing in. Oh what he must have seen and endured in the jungles of Vietnam. He returned a strong survivor., Only to later be afflicted by the scurge of Agent Orange. Which took him from us in the season of what should have been a man's prime. He fought his long battle with the cancers. And died at 40. RIP Brave Heart. I will always remember.

[@TeeyoDoubleDee]

God bless his memory.

[@allroyliedemn4683]

I hope that I was not the only one crying to this, especially with those harmonies and when all his four parts started singing my tears could not hold back and I feel really embarrassed because this is the first time that I ever cried in-front of my girlfriend. Geoff, if you ever see this comment, out of all your songs this is officially my most favorite and the only song that ever made me cry this hard. But I still love you either way and hope you are doing good.

[@lunaralos]

It might be from the Desolation of Smaug, but this is a Return of the King(s). 👑 Absolutely killed it, Geoff - and I don't mean with all of those very pointy weapons either! I’m so in love with what you did with this one... beautifully melancholic.

[@GeoffCastellucci]

Thank you!

[@jimigunz7886]

I've been a fan of Geoff's for a few years now, and I'm very familar with this song and so many great arrangements. That being said, going into this I had a pretty good idea how awesome this would be. Still, I literally had goosebumps!

[@charlibaltimore7641]

Beautiful, absolutely mesmerizing.

[@bronsonleach3573]

@GeoffCastellucci You are getting closer to a real basso profundo. I don't even do subharmonics anymore because my chest voice is lower than my subharmonics which is weird my range is A0 to E4.

[@3berrieshigh693]

Mr Castellucci, your rendition of this song is like a comforting fireplace on a cold night. Or that quiet moment by the campfire on the eve of a decisive battle. It inspires both calm and courage. I love everything about it!

[@ΜΑΡΙΑΨΩΝΗ-τ2γ]

у тебя БОЖЕСТВЕННЫЙ ГОЛОС! диапазон и владение голосом НЕВЕРОЯТНЫ!!!!!!!!!!!

[@witchyluna26]

As someone who has read the LOTR more times than I can count, hearing how perfectly you interpreted the tone of the song made me cry the first time I listened. Gimli is singing this song while they are walking through the destroyed Dwarven city and you can hear that in your voice. It's beautiful, haunting, and my favorite piece you have ever done. Thank you for doing this song justice!

[@alham4409]

This man could sing ANYTHING and I`d be listening. Such impressive range!

[@itmanjames]

Geoff has an incredible talent. Truely one of the greats of the third age. Have to give it up to the hair/makeup/costume department though. I was legitimately confused why the other 3 singers were uncredited the first time I saw it.

[@Lynn_M867]

First of all Geoff, bravo bravo. As a patron I’ve had early access to this and like others I’ve watched it numerous times. It took me 6-10 views just to get past “wow, pretty” (which to be honest it is). But what I appreciate even more than the amazing vocals is the arrangement. It would have been so easy to simply key change this into the “bass”ment, or use it as a five minute flex for the upper range. The use of bass, baritone, bari-tenor, and tenor parts gave so much nuance and variety. I loved The fact that each “soloist” gets a chance to shine. And the decision to literally give each part a “different face” was genius.

[@raptorcrasherinc.9823]

This is one of the greatest covers ever! The different pitches make the song so much better, plus Geoff's voice when he sings is incomparable. So much better than the original!

[@Badger77722]

I love how much Geoff featured his upper registers on this one! Everyone expects the low bass notes from Geoff, but it still amazes me just how GOOD his higher notes are.

[@vanessarodrigues4399]

Listening to this reminds me of the wildfire I experianced as a teen. I was at school but wasnt allowed to go home. I didnt know where my parents and little sister were or if they were alright. There were fine. Late that night we were allowed to go in to get belongings. Im almost 60 and I will never forget the trees still burning glowing on both sides of the road. Thank you for the beautiful music.

[@barbaraperry5023]

Whoa. Here I am again, listening. Still touched by this. "Would you fight to the death, for that which you love? In a cause surely hopeless, for that which you love..?" 😟💖

[@CarmenBurnett-z9t]

As a former firefighter & LEO, native to the 1/2- charred Northern Calif State, this song strikes me differently... personally. I'm in tears. I think of friends lost "in the line" & I see a different story art here: a "special edition," if you will. One where Mr. Castellucci (& his clones) are dressed in wildland ff gear, at a basecamp, tired, dirty, trying to catch up on sleep, food & fire updates b4 using their gear to catch a few winks b4 heading back out on the lines. They're discussing the standard "You go, we go," in the song, & we'll go down fighting (as the mountain & towns are burning). When the lyric says "we should toast our last wine" (or whatever, I'm usually having trouble by then), one "clone" raises his water canteen. 2 others try 2 do the same, & the fourth, with a nearly empty sports drink bottle practically dangling between his legs, barely thrusts it forward in a show of solidarity, but a lack of energy. I see the ending in 2 possible ways: 1). The men are still in camp, agreeing to remember each other (should one or more fall), until the "primary" Mr Castelucci looks directly at the camera with the final: " And I hope you will remember." A question to the audience. Or 2). Our heros are back out on the lines, the winds have shifted, & the fire is headed back at the 4-man fire crew. They have seconds to dig a trench, get out their fire covers & cover themselves to save themselves. A similar interaction to scenario 1 ensues as they ask each other to remember & cover themselves, just as "primary" Mr Castelucci looks directly at the camera, the last to cover his face, belts out in his incedible voice, "And I hope that you remember..." sheilds himself, & there's a flash of orange & red. End scene. Possibly interspersed with this could be scenes from some of the horrific wildland fires in this country alone, mountains, literally on fire, impossible to access by ground, scenes of entire towns lost to flames... melted children's toys in front yards, during some of the more instrumental portions. Obviously, I'm no editor or director. But having gone through it: HIS voice, HIS song, HIS music direction... have already put a pit in my stomach from both beauty & pain...

[@CarmenBurnett-z9t]

My apologies: the lyric is: "Raise a glass of wine for the last time." When listening to music like this for me, it's often more about the feel; the effect of the music rather than my memorizing each detail. Mr Castellucci transports the audience to another world with his technical skill combined with his God- given (or genetic, if you prefer) tools/ instruments, extraordinary HARD work, & his ART! He's managed to find & surround himself with equally skilled technicians & crafts- persons who truly showcase his gifts to the world. As an utter amateur (on the opposite end of the register/ a soprano) who has never done what he does, I can only stand in awe & admiration, as SOOO many others do! It's just a darned good thing we're married! ... just a shame it's not to each other... jk! (Platonic) Love & Admiration- c.

[@BiologyJAP]

Beautifully conveyed, and it would be a good pairing for that story.

As the daughter of a Fire Fighter, I see your vision. There were many times over the 25 years of call-outs that I feared for Dad's life.

[@Katavistick]

What a range! Obviously Geoff can easily sing the Bass and Baritone parts, but he sang the 1st and 2nd Tenor parts with ease! I am constantly amazed by his talent!

[@everettbernsen46]

There wasn't a moment in this cover that I didn't have chills. You're a master at your craft, and an inspiration to bass singers everywhere.

[@script_crafter]

“A fighting man’s last plea” That’s what this song feels like to me. A fighting man looking upon his last moments ahead, solemnly smiling to himself and his brothers in arms while they march towards certain death. Their final silent plea to the world around them being simply to be remembered. Maybe as who they were long before their death, maybe as who they were marching to defend their home for the last time knowing they’d die, or maybe as the soldier fighting as hard as they can before death. No matter how it is heard their final plea comes ringing through the mountains as they march to battle one last time..

Man, youtube gave the song in the recommendations and while listening I went down to the description to read information about all the singers of the band and only at the end of the video when Geoff was talking about makeup I realized that the song was sung by the same person! It's amazing! I admire your creativity!

Ohmygosh. This is astounding. The costumes are gorgeous. And my favorite part of this is that the way the singer"s" look at each other and go in and out of the song, makes this feel like 4 old friends grieving the loss of their home together. I love covers of this song, but every other one I've seen is just about singing the song. The singers here look to be actually mourning as they sing. This video is just phenomenal.
