Farewell Christopher Tolkien!

[@theyeking7023]

Has it been an year already wtf

[@alariaaurora8456]

such an underrated band this track is a masterpiece

[@Mincadua]

Underrated? Summoning? Maybe you're mistaken with another band, they're a lot of things but surely not underrated ;)

[@ensiferumlism]

They're not under or over, just middle xD. Their music is unique, make everyone listen to over and over.

[@JonmisTxoko]

@@ensiferumlism The band which make a change in Black Metal making own sound and heritage, so your "just middle" is a joke

[@fusahlok7748]

@@JonmisTxoko I think they meant Summoning is appropriately rated - not underrated or overrated

[@JonmisTxoko]

@@fusahlok7748 well without summoning, there would not be Caladan Brood, Eldamar, Elffor, emym Muil and a large etc.

[@Stromptrstren]

My favorite song from all Summoning. THIS TRUMPETS .

[@manuelpereira1559]

Who can find you clear springs of waters, but I can! Who can tell you the age of the moon, but I can! Who can call the fish from the depths of the see, yes I can! Who can change the shapes of the hills and the headlands, I can! I have been a sword in the hand, I have been a shield in a fight, I have been the string of a harp, I can shift my shape like a god. Farewell, leave the shore to an ocean wide and untamed Hold your shield high, let the wind bring your enemy your nightmare By the bane of my blade, a mighty spell is made and Far beyond the battle blood shall fall like a hard rain. Who can find you clear springs of waters, but I can! Who can tell you the age of the moon, but I can! Who can call the fish from the depths of the see, yes I can! Who can change the shapes of the hills and the headlands, I can! I have been a sword in the hand, I have been a shield in a fight, I have been the string of a harp, I can shift my shape like a god. Farewell, leave the shore to an ocean wide and untamed Hold your shield high, let the wind bring your enemy your nightmare By the bane of my blade, a mighty spell is made and Far beyond the battle blood shall fall like a hard rain. "This is my hour. Do you not know death when you see it? Die now!" "This is my hour. Do you not know death when you see it? Die now!"

They are masters of melodies and this song - one of their best - is a great example.

[@natvicarious]

I kind of stopped listening to BM for a few years and I just started playing this again, as I'm feeling ultra nostalgic for my adolescence. And omg, I can't get enough of it!

[@F1lip3JF]

Always great to remember

[@Forgaen]

One of the best summoning songs

[@glohitia666]

One of my most favored Summoning songs.

[@Kielimies]

A song that should've been heard at the end of the Game of Thrones finale.

[@glaurung21]

A potência do vocal de Silenius é inacreditável, mais uma música fantástica da discografia épica dessa banda majestosa. ⛧

[@santeri9149]

Amazing song. I always get goosebumps at 3:38 such an amazing song that it cannot be put to words how much feelings this song evokes.

[@ihateapplebeeswa]

Thank you for this masterpiece!

[@MarkusRamikin]

3:42 Oh my God-Emperor... And I wouldn't have even known about this band if I hadn't watched Damnatus.

[@glohitia666]

I have ventured far since their demo days.. What a journey!

[@TheOneHoddToward]

Absolutely. Damnatus was such a precious jewel.

[@MarkusRamikin]

@@TheOneHoddToward Damnatus was a snail-paced slog. But it had its moments!

[@derfret1365]

man, what were they thinking when they made the chorus?

[@kirillsavinkov855]

😊😊❤😊😊

[@PartialViewmusic]

Great song! The lyrics are kinda weird though. It mixes elements from the Silmarillion book and Fëanor's travels. But then the song ends with a quote from the witch king of Angmar. I don't really see the connection between these. Anybody has any idea? But great fucking song!

[@Akillesursinne]

I agree with you, it's hard to guess at what summoning was going for. I feel like it's about the victory of evil, or of how no one escapes death. And the words of the witch king echoes into eternity like a warning of how despite splendour, beautiful shields and strong warriors, do you not know when you see it? There is no escape from death itself.

[@michadybalski6687]

I think the lyrics are reference to 'The Song of Amergin', from irish mythology. The lyrics of "Farewell" are quite similar to this poem: "I am the wind on the sea; I am the wave of the sea; I am the bull of seven battles; I am the eagle on the rock I am a flash from the sun; I am the most beautiful of plants; I am a strong wild boar; I am a salmon in the water; I am a lake in the plain; I am the word of knowledge; I am the head of the spear in battle; I am the god that puts fire in the head; Who spreads light in the gathering on the hills? Who can tell the ages of the moon? Who can tell the place where the sun rests?" And, of course, last two lines of the text are quotes from Tolkien's books. First one is from "The song of Durin" (And at the gates the trumpets rang), and the second is a quote by the Witch King of Angmar. (This is my hour. Do you not know death when you see it? Die now!)

[@PasserMontanus]

Summoning tend to mix up Tolkien's writing and real-world mythologies for dramatic purposes. It doesn't have to make sense lore-wise.

[@bneletismociquli]

also, some of the lyrics are from Elric saga

[@ΓιάννηςΜιχελάκης-ε4τ]

This song is actually from the second Corum book series, by Michael Moorcock. Some of the lyrics were exactly taken from that. It is also based on some old Celtic poem, but I don't recall its title right now

Good but the sound quality is saturated.

[@kaidatu.]

Thats my problem with most summoning albums. Record quality is trash, so i cant listen to them, latest 2 albums are good tho
