  • "Gollum's Song" has been one of my most requested songs over the past decade. I've put it off for so long, knowing full well I could never do justice to the original version which features the most beautifully haunting vocal performance by Emilíana Torrini. However, out of pure love for this piece, I just had to say yes when my friend Alex asked if I would sing it for his Lord of the Rings rescore project. I hope you enjoy! I thoroughly enjoyed singing it; I love the Lord of the Rings just as much as I did when I first watched the trilogy as a child and it was a joy to finally cover this piece.
    Produced by Alex Gobbett ‪@CinematicSymphonyOrchestra‬), featuring violin by Rebecca Rovny (‪@RebeccaRovny‬). Please give my talented collaborators some kudos in the comments and check out their work!
    Written by Howard Shore & Fran Walsh.

    Rachel's voice is softer than Emiliana Torrini, and I think it lends itself better here. If Emiliana's version was like a lamentation, Rachel's is like a eulogy. It's the difference between Gollum dying slowly vs already gone. Both valid, but I like this cover a lot.

    This, is one of the most soul wrenching versions of this song I have heard. It's beautifully done, from the slow funeral-dirge esq music, to the cadence and softly mourning lyrics. It is, hands down, one of the best renditions you've ever produced.
