Lyrics:
Lament for Boromir-
They will look for him from the White Tower
But he will not return
From mountain
Or from sea
Aragorn sang:
Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows
The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it goes.
‘What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring to me tonight?
Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight?
‘I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide and grey,
I saw him walk in empty lands until he passed away
Into the shadows of the North, I saw him then no more.
The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor,
‘O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar,
But you came not from the empty lands where no men are.’
Then Legolas sang:
From the mouths of the Sea the South Wind flies, from the sandhills and the stones,
The wailing of the gulls it bears, and at the gate it moans.
‘What news from the South, O sighing wind, do you bring to me at eve?
Where now is Boromir the Fair? He tarries and I grieve.
‘Ask not of me where he doth dwell - so many bones there lie,
On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky,
So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing Sea.
Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind sends to me!’
‘O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs south,
But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea’s mouth’.
Then Aragorn sang again:
From the Gate of the Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls,
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.
‘What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me today?
What news of Boromir the bold? For he is long away.’
‘Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought,
His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.
His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest,
And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.
‘O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze,
To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.
Gimli then comments that they left the east wind to him, but he would not sing it. Aragorn responds that the people of Gondor endure the east wind but do not ask it for tidings, because in that direction lies Mordor and the Evil in the East. - Hudba

Fantastic work, as always!
This is awesome! 🤘
The instrumentation is so beautiful I would do with an upload of only it, I love your channel, it has brought me endless joy, and I love your religious arrangements
This has always been my favorite of your works, I’m excited to listen!
I love this rendition, but I do think I prefer the accompanying imagery from the original video (which I had just rewatched yesterday). Still sounds great though!
I’m going to harass The Charismatic Voice to react to this (by “harass” I mean comment and recommend it incessantly). She loves LOTR and would truly love this too, I’m sure of it.
And to think that Tolkien not only wrote about tragedy, bravery, friendship but also took the time to write songs and poems. A genious.
The dude literally created over 100+ languages. He truly had a thing for words.
You got it backwards. He even explained it himself. He created languages, songs, and poems and then created a history from them and a world for them all to exist in.
Tolkien was a poet and philologist.
@@CtrlAltDlt68 Over a hundred?
@@mycaleb8 lol no
Only now as a grownup have I realized how relatable his character was, and still is. Not a pinnacle of what man should strive to be, like Aragorn, but a flawed individual, who although stumbles and is corruptible, picks himself up, willing to right his mistakes.
I'd argue Boromir is quite the pinnacle actually :)
Beautiful comment
Knowing you made a grave mistake and making a last ultimate sacrifice takes more than most men could take. So he truly was a pillar of men
Boromir really is one of the best and most tragic characters.
Very underappreciated.
boromir is probably one of the most if not the most relatable character in LOTR
"You left the East Wind to me, but I shall say nothing of it."
- Gimli
I would love having this included in song.
"That is as it should be. In Minas Tirith they endure the East Wind, but they do not ask it for tidings."
- Aragorn
Josef Džama, I wouldn't.
Well yes, but…
by Mush V. Peets (somewhere on YT)
"O'er the Dark Lord's lands the East Wind roars, though Gondor heeds it not,
Its voice is iron, its mouth is flame, its odors reek and rot.
'What tidings of the East, O deathly wind, do you bring me from the Dark?
Gondor asks after Boromir, but to you I alone shall hark.
'Has Mordor taken this strong man, for the Dark Lord to have his way,
Where shadows lie upon the land, and night has vanquished day?
Nay, for he refused 'till his end came, though the Night will soon take all,
By the hordes of the Orcs this fool was slain, for he heeds not Mairon's call.'
O Boromir! Behind the Black Gate, armies muster great and strong,
But still you would fight 'neath the banners of Light 'till the final rays are gone.’ '"
Fits perfectly. :)
@@Thelmtube
Agreed.
I believe they left that on the original Lament for Boromir video.
In all honesty when I first read that I thought it was a discarded script from the original that might have been in the letters rather than an original verse.
@@Thelmtube that reads exactly like how Tolkien would have wrote it, I love it
"‘You left the East Wind to me,’ said Gimli, ‘but I will say naught of it.’ ‘That is as it should be,’ said Aragorn. ‘In Minas Tirith they endure the East Wind, but they do not ask it for tidings.'"
For the east wind is of Mordor and to ask is to invite sorrow
I am looking for him, always. Also what i like about Boromir is how he made the Balrog hesitate when he blew is horn.
...Wish that was in the Movie.
The balrog probably recognized the horn as one of the horns of the men of beleriand.
Yeah, it may have reminded him of the War of Wrath and the horn of Oromë :)
@@arthurjunker4597
Boromir blows his horn
Balrog starts having War of Wrath flashbacks
@@arthurjunker4597 I'm rusty in the subject, but isn't the Horn of Gondor Orome's?
"I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend."
Well thats Faramir, in this his brother is quite the opposite
@@matteopascali2426, Faramir and Boromir are not so different. Boromir just had much more interest in weapons and had lack of wisdom (he was wise but in his own way), though he was not just a mindless warior, but the protector. Especially in his last stand
@@Herr_Schindler No they are actually quite different, but alike in many things. Frodo(whos touched in some strange way from the ring sees more than others). Explicitly states faramir has an air around him akin to aragorn. Throughout the book its mentioned at several times, from several characters how boromir were more akin to the men of rohan, more akin to the men in the youth of mankind. While faramir has the air of a wizard/elf/dunedain. Not to mentioned faramir in the books refused the ring. They were different in their roots it seems from what we're told. But they were unified in their love, and loyalty to their people, and to doing right. They simply had differing views on how that would be done. Boromir thought to bring the "great gift" back to gondor, as his father wanted. While faramir refused his fathers will and let the ring go. Boromir didnt see the error of his ways until after he attempted to hurt frodo. Faramir wasnt so hasty, and wiser in some ways. Both are awsome, boromir is my favourite lotr character.
Very well said, sir.
Boromir is like my favourite character from LOTR.
He had his flaws and was for a moment corrupted by the ring, but he instantly regret his action and apologized. He fell while valiantly defending his friends. Rest in peace, Son of gondor.
The fact that the Ring corrupted Isildur essentially instantly and yet Boromir was able to resist it's influence for months is a testament to his character.
he represents humanity in all its flaws, but also in all its strength.
I agree
That part still send shivers down my spine. Even by reading you can feel the pain and regret in his voice yelling to Frodo after the madness has faded, and his sacrifice right after. Also that Aragorn didn't tell the others about this to preserve his good name.
@@skilo581 Not like there is reason to tell about boromir, Aragorn himself had extreme, almost panical fear from weakness of his kin from past. I think that was reason why ring didnt managed to corupt him too, that and fact he was blood of numenor.
Aragorn is a masterclass in positive masculinity. In his grief, he composed a poem/song for his friend instead of burying his feelings or just being wrathful. And that's not to take away from Boromir either, who had the strength to right his wrongs and face the impossible to do the right thing. Icons both, each with important lessons to teach
Positive masculinity?
@@samleroy2964 yes. You hear the term toxic masculinity a lot, so positive or healthy masculinity would be the opposite. Toxic masculinity is a relatively easy thing to identify (though toxic people like to lie and say the phrase just means that masculinity is toxic), so positive/healthy should be as well. Toxic masculinity would state that Aragorn crying over his dead friend is not masculine, and therefore weak. Healthy/positive recognizes that men have feelings and should be able to express them. It's late where I am, and I don't mean to preach, but that's just the gist of it
@@kuno3336 often dumb feminists define the good qualities of masculinity as toxic, so I don't pay much attention to it. And in general, I agree. Are you a girl?
@@kuno3336 That is a great explanation ❤
-I would follow you my brother. My captain...
My King.
"Rest in peace, son of Gondor." T^T
Brings tears to my eyes.. everytime
“Be at peace”
Everyone loved and forgave Boromir because they all understood how they could've fallen just like him, but not reclaimed themselves like him.
_I would have followed you, my brother, my captain, my king._
A very beautiful line, but I believe it’s from the PJ movie, not Tolkien.
@@MadCityBells and?
@@MadCityBells If ya wanna get all technical about it, the last thing Boromir said in the books was, (spoiler alert)
"Farewell, Aragorn! Go to Minas Tirith and save my people! I have failed."
But *the last thing Boromir did was smile* after Aragorn says, "No!... You have conquered. Few have gained such a victory. Be at peace! Minas Tirith shall not fall!"
@@Beregond1861 Both are beautiful. So blessed to have so much care given to both stories.
@@mrmoviemanic1 I completely agree.👍 Those films are absolutely timeless because of how much closer to their source material they are in comparison to most other book-to-film adaptations.
To much people don't like Boromir because he was one of the first to be corrupted. But they don't understand the beauty and the majesty of this character.
Son of Gondor and Gondor’s finest. He has the blood of the great Kings of old.
“This City was once the jewel of our kingdom, a place of light and beauty and music and so it shall be once more,
Let the armies of Modor know this,
never again will the land of my people fall into enemy hands.
The city of Osgiliath has been reclaimed!
For Gondor! For Gondor! For Gondor!!!”
Epic!
There is a reason why he became corrupted first of all others, he being the captain of Gondor held the fate of his kingdom in his hands and by extension a great part of Middle Earths fate in his hand.
Unlike all others who got tempted by the Ring, they became tempted by their egos, Boromir got tempted to protect his people and kingdom.
They don't like him because Boromir represents themselves, a flawed and corruptable person.
He redeemed himself and died protecting others. Far as I’m concerned, that makes him a hero, regardless of his flaws.
The ring undid him so easily. It is not a comment on Boromir's character, but rather, the vileness of the enemy's weapon.
Unexpected but highly appreciated. Love the horn at the end and I still enjoy the North Wind the most.
This is perhaps the song I have listened to the most besides the Song of Durin and the Fall of Gil-Galad :--)
Same, I know this song by heart
Speaking of the Fall of Gil-Galad, I would love to see them do an *A Cappela* version of Lament for Boromir, considering how good their *A Cappela* of Fall of Gil-Galad was.
For me it’s the South Wind…
“… so many bones there lie, On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky; So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing Sea.” Goosebumps… Thank you! 🙏🏻
The horn at the end is an inspired way to enhance the ending of the song. One of my favorites from their LoTR catalog given new life.
"A surprise for sure, but a welcomed o..." oh, wrong series, sorry!
I'm pretty sure Tolkien was inspired by the story of Roland, the frankish knight, when he created Boromir, especially in his death. Like Boromir was ambushed by the orcs, Roland was ambushed by the Moors and fought one of the most glorious last stands in history. Again like Boromir, Roland also furiously blew his horn, called Olifant, during the hopeless battle. It's also said that the Moors attempted to steal his sword, Durandal, from his dead hands but couldn't.
Tolkien wasnt a fan of allegory, so this is highly unlikely
The battle of roscenvalles was between franks and a coalition of vascones and moors probably of the banu qasi family
@@clonetf141 It's not an allegory. It's an inspiration. He was very lectured in European folk traditions and those were the main inspiration for his work.
@@skilo581 kinda find it hard to believe
@@clonetf141
Hard to believe an author who had a doctorate in European folklore and mythology and made blatant use of them as inspiration made blatant use of European folklore and mythology?
Because all the dwarves in the Hobbit having names from the Poetic Edda is just a coincidence, I assume. Same with Gandalf being the name of a dwarf in the Poetic Edda. Or the parallels with Smaug and both Beowulf's bane and Fáfnir. Or Glaurung and Fáfnir.
Or hard to believe someone who blatantly stated nothing he wrote was allegorical was in fact writing literal fantasy?
Last comment was unclear.
I wish Tolkien was alive today to offer his opinion on all the various takes on his creations. I think he would approve of this channel.
He always approved of peoples songs, song is often so very pure and he appreciates that. He commented about that Mr Swann guy who did bilbos walking song, amazing stuff
@@Makkaru112 is there a vide of that swan guy?
@@Makkaru112 except pop... which is quickly becoming the wordbearer of slaanesh as demonstrated by many artosts lately, rap too.
This is arguably one Tolkien's best songs/poems in Lord of the Rings, at least
The Lament for the Rohirrim is my favourite personally.
Arguably.
I mean, it's bomb, but Tolkien is Tolkien. The crown of the king is ornate of countless pearls.
Among the best, ex aequo with the song about Durin. Also the Ent's song is worth mentioning for its lyrical impact, and the Lament for the Rohhirim for poetical expression.
I like Legolas’s song too
Beren and Luthien~
Boromir - A man of Repentance !!!!
I believe everyone of us have something to learn from him . ..
This version of Minas Tirith is more accurate to the books than the one we see in the movies. The outer wall was supposed to be built from the same kind of black stone as Orthanc.
I totally forgot about that. Thanks. The movies missed many things.
Thats why they attacked the gate. If I am correct however, it was rebuilt in mithril.
@@grandadmiralthrawn3054 correct. The wall was basically indestructible, but the gate was not, until it was remade of Mithril. Fun fact, the helmets of the Fountain Guard are also made of Mithril
@@Marko777ify My good King, such memory and wisdom I find here! It was a dark day the moment those gates fell, but the loyalty and love you, your people and the courage of the Rohirrim all have for one another is what brought us together to rebuild after that day. That as well as Mithrandir himself. It makes me proud to be a part of the realm over which you rule.✊♥️
My fav. Tolkien character...my young brother allways called me "Boromir" and i called him "Faramir"...we was just childrens...what a beautyfull childhood😔
...we played with wood swords...with friends...in our backyards or a forest...we though we was soldier of gondor and isengard fighting...
...beautyfull days then will never come back...
"untill the end of days😔"
A hug from Argentina
I relate❤️
I almost got a heart attack seeing the notification for this video.
Your Lament for Boromir essentially accompanied me through all my youth until now (22 now). I played it A LOT on my guitar and sang to it. And seeing it being remade by you is like being 17 again. Thanks for every memory!
Can you give me the link or site that has an older rendition? I only found the CDP ones.
@@elmo980 pretty sure he's talking about the older CDP one
I don't know you but I know what you can feel, almost 21 here.
i only found the old version 1 year and 2 months ago, but i listened to it so excessively and i certainly relate to getting a heart attack when seeing this video. because WOAH
Dude I feel what you mean, though for me it was sooner. Discovered it back when I was 14 and now I'm 17 and it really hit me that through these last 3-4 years CdP are probably the only channel I've consistently kept up with...
Boromir was definitely a good man. I love how much he cared about all his friends and companions. Nice touch in the movies. How he was always the first one to show empathy. Small things like him putting a hand on Gimli shoulder when at the tomb and more. he was flawed. But only compared to Aragorn. Compared to normal men, Boromir was the ideal of true warrior with a kind heart. Not fighting because he likes it but because he loves what he fights for.
Reminds me of my captain Faramir's words to the ring-bearer: "War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend..."♥️
I noticed a few differences along the way, and was generally pleased. But that horn blast at the end was what sold it. Very well done.
the thing is that people forget that boromir in the movies is only a small portion of his character in the legandarium, he was for long a brave and noble captain of gondor, he wrested the city of osgiliath from the forces of sauron and he devoted his life to holding back the might of sauron and the fact that so many people know him from the movies as a greedy bastard who almost ruined everything and nearly stole the ring is just plain sad.
Many and great were his deeds, and we are all the better for him.♥️
I have literally never seen anyone have a negative opinion of Boromir.
@@thatguy2756 yeah I think people are realising that his character was so much more than that.
@@thatguy2756 also people who comment on videos tend to be fans so they know about his character more than someone who has just watched the movies.
@feanor even among people who have just watched the movies I have never seen someone who dislikes boromir.
Boromir is such an underrated character. Thanks for making this music😊
Gandalf's my favorite, but Boromir has always been my #2.
@Cgeesus Saruman too.
Boromir had one of the best redemptions there could be. Momentarily corrupted, he realized his mistakes, ALL OF THEM, and acknowledged them immediately, and then gave himself up defending Merry and Pippin, realizing that he was a burden to the Quest and his best hope of success and the survival of Gondor his beloved beautiful homeland was to make sure that all the Hobbits survived.
He was no burden to the quest. He was the third greatest of them after Aragorn and Samwise.
After Faramir, Boromir is definitely my second favourite character. Flawed man who does the right thing in the end.
A nobler version for the noblest King's servant!
Thank you for this!
I love the picture!!!!
This always bothered me in the film: the city is very small and grayish white
In the book the city is HUGE (can house up to 30 000 people comfortably) and black and white. the main wall is BLACK and from the same indestructible stone as Orthanc.
The city on this picture is the city from the book.
Yeah, the movies missed many things.
To be fair there's only so much a movie adaptation could do right for the books and it probably would've costed more and taken longer for Minas tirith to be at the same scale as it is in the book I'm sure Peter Jackson did ehat he could without the movies becoming an issue to make
Yeah in the movie it is more of a fort/castle and has a surprisingly small number of actual houses.
It breaks my heart knowing that boromir never got the chance to earn Frodo’s forgiveness.
He did. Frodo forgave him . When Frodo gets question how he knew Boromir he regards him as a friend
Boromir was a hero!
If only his father whouldnt had become such a bitter man,.... imagine boromir, faramir and aragon returning side by side as kings to gondor,....but then again: the lorddof the rings IS about loss and decay in his core and the struggle against it.
The movies did Denathor dirty, He had more willpower then Saruman and never truly fell to Sauron, instead his will was broken as he was continually shown the great armies of darkness and the how fruitless it would be to oppose. He sent the old the women and the children to safely, He lit the fire to call for Rohan aid (changed in the movie), and sent riders for aid.
He was shown an army approaching by land and the black fleet by sea, His eldest son dead and his remaining son struck down, still he never gave into the darkness only to hopelessness as the world crumbled around him.
@@plp866 im not talking about the movies, he did became a more bitter man after the loss of his wive (never emntionend in teh fils as far as i remember) and thats what i revering to: he still stod tall BUT he almsot doomed his own sons in griev,...
@@plp866 absolutely, denethor used a Palantir for many years and while he slowly crumbled into madness he never gave in to Sauron's trickery, one of few who could have done it. He devoted his life to holding back the threat of Mordor but is remembered from the movies as a crazy bastard who shows too much favouritism and has no strategic awareness.
@@Feanor6450 Absolutely! "Why do the fools fly?"
Denethor was far mightier and more noble in the books
Last time I was this early, the High King hadn't summoned one of every race to save his daughter fallen from grace yet
To drive the watcher from the keep
Love the original of this, and yee gods, the chap who sings the first verse is a perfect aragorn!
Thanks for going back and improving the instrumentation, especially that fine horn call at the end!
Oh man I've been waiting for your rendition of this! So good!
This is actually the second rendition!
Song is absolutely awesome, but can I say that this is the best picture of Boromir I ever saw
My King👋♥️
When I thought it couldn’t sound better there’s an enhanced edition! The end just gave me chills, great addition!
I remember being 15 and having to read this out loud. Because of how cool it was that they sung for Borimir.
My favorite music from them is back. For me is one of their best songs and it always brings a tear to my eyes.
The horn at the end... Is the best way to end this song
"To Rauros... golden Rauros falls" bring tears every time.
One song I've longed for from The Lord of The Rings is Sam's "Stone troll". Such a fun and lighthearted poem, that you guys could definitely compose a tune for - especially now that you covered "Where there's a whip there's a way"!
This poem reminds me of this friend I had who passed away back in 2021. We were both nerds for Tolkien and we were very good friends for many years, but over time we had our differences and the friendship cooled down, and near the end he was fed up with some lies about me that made him resent me, and I was too proud and stupid to speak with him and clear things up.
I guess these are totally different stories, but both ends are kind of bitter.
At least I will treasure the good memories until I pass as well.
5:49 the voice is so perfect, strong yet soft and somber.
the beauty of a bass voice
enhanced lament for the rohirim next?
Yes please!
Please !! That's One of my favorites songs, i can listening it again and again with always the same feeling of melancoly and sadness.
Beautiful! This song might be the most underrated of Tolkien's poems.
Whenever I listen to Durin's song I think "ah yeah, they really peaked there, no newer song comes even close".
b
But then they release a new one song and I have a complete eargasm that sends shivers down my spine, so nevermind what I said before!
Amazingly powerful poem from Tolkien and an elegant composition to do it justice kudos to you guys keep it up!
I get goosebumps everytime i hear that "oh boromir"😮💨😢
I would've followed you.. my brother, my captain.. my king😭
Beautiful, if only Amazon had as much respect for Tolkien as you fine people
Why would Mairon respect the west? He heeds the east wind's call, and will cast shadow upon all the monuments of the men of the west, and burn all of our great history into the ashes of time, if we do not stand up to them and guard the heirlooms of our forefathers
@Zoomer Stasi When Sauron seduced the Elfs of Eregion to create the rings of power, he called himself Annatar: "the Father of Gifts"
Well... VERY relatable to Amazon. :P
@Zoomer Stasi Aye don't degenerate Sauron like that
Actually the producers are much more in tune with Tolkien than their Atrocious marketing would have you believe. There is always hope!
@@danjoredd bit quick to judge a 5 season show after only 2 episodes is it not? Let's at least let them make their case with the first season. Then we can critique it for being just ok, or even terrible. People are so quick to judge.if only tolkien had a quote about that....
How can you not love the world of Tolkien, gives me goosebumps when I hear any music put to these works.
The horn at the end...
Majestic.
*gasps in Gondorian* Mithrandir, it's you!
"Enhanced"
And I said, "Impossible; it was already their best piece!"
I listened to it.
It's even more perfect.
I like how the West and South Winds tells them to ask the North Wind, but they resist doing so until the end, likely because they know it will speak of his death.
This is one of my favourites by CDP and is one of the first songs of yours I listened to. Good to see it getting some extra attention!
The original was great, and this is even better. Ya'll have improved over the years, and I hope you will continue making these until your passion for them ends.
I made a tribute video of this wonderful rendition of yours using footage from the films on my channel. Nice to hear the differences with this remixed version. Love your songs! You do Tolkien's work justice.
I liked your video very much. Well done, and thanks!
I've just subscribed, you are a master of your video editing. Thank you.
@@mrmoviemanic1 Thank you so much for subscribing! Your comment made my day :)
I will hopefully get to making new content soon too, if time allows.
This song is better than the entire amazon prime series and its not even out yet
I find your music healing, and I thank you for using your talents to create such wonderful things. Also, thank you for putting it here for all to hear.
the old version was probably my favorite piece y'all have ever done, but whenever I discussed your channel with friends it always slipped under their radar and it makes me so happy to see it being remade
*Rest in peace, son of Gondor*
Absolutely beautiful, as always 😊
This song had me in tears - what a beautiful rendition of the poem! I had goosebumps listening and everything was simply perfect! Thank you so much for this masterpiece!
Your music never fails to touch me!
"I would have followed you my brother. My captain.... my King..."
Pleasant voices bring pleasant thoughts.
The North Wind section of this song is so heartbreaking, you can feel the grief in the singer’s voice and it’s just so beautiful and sad.
The Voice of the East:
"O'er the Dark Lord's lands the East Wind roars, though Gondor heeds it not,
Its voice is iron, its mouth is flame, its odors reek and rot.
'What tidings of the East, O deathly wind, do you bring me from the Dark?
Gondor asks after Boromir, but to you I alone shall hark.
'Has Mordor taken this strong man, for the Dark Lord to have his way,
Where shadows lie upon the land, and night has vanquished day?
Nay, for he refused 'till his end came, though the Night will soon take all,
By the hordes of the Orcs this fool was slain, for he heeds not Mairon's call.'
O Boromir! Behind the Black Gate, armies muster great and strong,
But still you would fight 'neath the banners of Light 'till the final rays are gone.’"
This song is so beautiful, and I thank CDP for its production.
I have always wept over the passing of Boromir, not only because of the tenderness shown by Aragorn and company but also because I ache for Boromir's personal struggles and rejoice over his personal victory at the end, when he repented of his near-treachery and displayed his true heroic nature in defending Merry and Pippin.
RIP, Boromir, son of the West. You are missed-never forgotten.
This is just beautiful, together with _"Bilbo's Last Song"_ I think these are my 2 favorite Clamavi songs!
Well done, I can't wait for the next one, whatever it may be...
I got chills at the last verse - beautifully done! And that horn, magic.
This song was already my favorite that you guys have done and this was a beautiful rendition.
Boromir was a dear friend, he will be missed. This song honors him greatly!
I had just gotten very upset over something, my chest tight, and grabbed my laptop and opened CZcams in a sort of desperation to feel better, and this came up. I was so happy, this is probably my favourite piece of yours, I played it immediately, and it calmed me. Every single aspect of it is perfect; The voices and the instruments and that wonderful addition of the horn. Your talent at renditions of Tolkien's amazing poems is unmatched.
Love this revamp of an awesome song! Ya'll sound amazing as always.
Such an amazing song! You guys are awesome!
I am reading LOTR to my kids. When I got to this song at the end of FOTR, I sang it with this tune to the amazement of my kids. Thank you for this video.
This is something I didn't know I needed. Thank you!
I remember when the first was made. Thanks for this. ❤

This one of the most beautiful songs I've heard from this channel. I always took a break when watching the movies to listen to this song after finishing the Fellowship of the Ring. I can't help but use your melodies when re-reading the books and encountering these poems. Thank you so much for releasing this remaster!
The original is my favourite composition from you and you just turned this up to eleven. Thank you for your art!
