The Lord of the Rings Rarities Archive - 09. Arwen's Song (Complete)

A Second early concept used for the Aragorn/Arwen dream scene. But wasn't used in The Two Towers, this used instead for The Houses of Healing scene in Return of the King, performed by Liv Tyler

[@khfan4life365]

This song is about Arwen after Aragorn died. She left her children and went into Lothlorien, but the woods are now abandoned. Trees turning from green to gold refers to the Mallorn trees in the autumn. Arwen stays in her grandmother’s old realm for a time, before voluntarily giving up her life in year 121 of the fourth age. She died under the tree where she and Aragorn first met.

' you will find that the world has changed forever'. I feel a sense of blissful loneliness listening to this. Whilst my generation listens to Cardi b I search for some something deeper. A truly world class song.

[@JunioQueiroz]

Every person has a way to feel the world changing

[@thiagofeltrin9841]

Just as Arwens sang "I wish I could hold you closer"

[@jasonito23]

Well, throwing this on at a party or a club wouldn't really be appropriate would it? Cardi B and other genres of music have their time and place.

[@MattCollectorControl]

@@jasonito23 I won't begrudge the masses for being hooked on repetitive R&B. They can own that world of music for all I care, as long as they have enough respect to allow me to live to old age and eventually die in mine. And with songs like this, that's what I'm going to do

[@lukeflynn6227]

Love this comment, completely agree.

[@KD-rs6ub]

Finally I found a version that didn’t leave out the “time and tide” at the end!

[@Jegfil]

First meant for Aragorn and Arwen, but used for Éowyn (and Faramir).

[@HunterEQGtribute]

"You will find that the world has changed forever" It has and it it one of the causes of my pain.

[@handsoap3346]

My fever broke and the pain I've had in my limbs has faded for a moment. I know it a coincidence, but this song feels like it has healing powers or something

[@pietrpiepir6444]

Suddenly Faramir stirred, and he opened his eyes, and he looked on Aragorn who bent over him; and a light of knowledge and love was kindled in his eyes, and he spoke softly. 'My lord, you called me. I come. What does the king command?’ 'Walk no more in the shadows, but awake!’ said Aragorn. 'You are weary. Rest a while, and take food, and be ready when I return.’ 'I will, lord,’ said Faramir. 'For who would lie idle when the king has returned?’

[@Petttywise]

[@IntelligentGooner007]

Extended cuts are amazing top 5 scores of all time

[@dratiniegg5492]

She sounds heavenly. The gift of music truly does run in this family. I am really impressed by this breathtaking song, and only wish there was a duet between Liv Tyler and her LOTR co-star Miranda Otto-- a love song to Aragorn.

[@painkiller2837]

Yeah, why?

[@painkiller2837]

Maybe cause The Princess and Faramior fell in love

[@dratiniegg5492]

@@painkiller2837 Even though they were fated to be with other people, there was still a time when Eowyn loved Aragorn. Since Liv Tyler and Miranda Otto both are such fine singers I think it could have been interesting to have a song they share in The Two Towers that reflects the yearning to be with him and heartache of two beautiful yet very different women he touched the lives of.

[@blobloblob1627]

@@dratiniegg5492 Good idea, but two of them would sing so differently about how they feel about Aragorn. Arwen's love is like longing a home, and selfless love that would always give for her loved one's further good. Eowyn's is like discovering something new, and unseen in her life before, simple she attracted to him because she want to explore more and get inspired more. Anyway it would give different contrast in one song, but why not🙂

[@kanako15]

[@synclavier123]

Kind of a Picardy Third there at Liv's intro. Nice. This passage is, to me, an musical parallel of what I think Waterhouse's Ophelia paintings achieved : delicacy, femininity, and a wistfulness that touches the soul and inspires the imagination.

[@MissAPierce]

What an unexpected comment to run across! I've always admired Waterhouse's work, especially Boreas. I'll probably always associate his Ophelias with ROTK now, lol. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boreas_(painting)#/media/File:Boreas.jpg

[@Schrodingers-Fat]

The Two Towers had the best music of the trilogy. No question.

[@davidhoffman6980]

This is so much better than the actual "Arwen's Song" from The Two Towers. I'm glad they put it in the houses of healing scene, but even then, it's only in the extended version. Cinema audiences never got to hear this till the 10th anniversary re-release.

[@blobloblob1627]

Tolkien wrote the story with depth and meaning in everything about the universe he created. Not just some magic and existence being there from the start, he gave everything the reason and that reason has another reason, everything connects perfectly together. A Lot of things in Tolkien universe reflects some real life aspects in metaphorical way.

[@JustARandomLOTRFan]

how dare you even compare childish crap HP (actually a great inspiration from LOTR itself) with the master gold Lord of The Rings

[@momoraven8577]

[@JonatanCarmiOK]

I wish I could hold you closer. I hope the new realisation of Tolkien's Legendarium by Amazon Prime will keep with this essence of Howard Shore's music. Please... please... Don't change the quality of these sounds.

[@JonatanCarmiOK]

Hey I'm right back after watching that piece of rubbish. They really changed it and it was NOTHING to do with these magnificent masterpieces. Howard Shore was only Howard Shore in LOTR trilogy. Right now, he's an impostor of himself. Really sad, I feel. Pity.

I disagree. Arwen is half-Elven, and the sentiment of the song almost can't be expressed in the common tongue. Yet she manages.
