[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [qb] Awkward pause as everyone tries to remember how ANY of the LotR songs went, let alone which was which or who did one apart from Enya or Annie. . . EDIT: Emiliana Torrini, or "we couldn't afford Charlotte Church, and they accused us of Kiwi nepotism when we tried to get Hayley Westenra," did The Two Towers. Gollum's Song. Go on, Alan, get married to "Gollum's Song." You can tell everyone it's "Into The West" and no-one will be able to tell the difference. 8) Did I mention I hated the score for the LotR films? And the need to tack on a trio of allegedly airplay-garnering singles, not that I ever heard one played anywhere? "May It Be," my ass! [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm SO going to disagree with EVERYTHING you said Lee. Those songs, "May It Be" (which actually got some radio airplay and much, much more video 'airplay') fitted the ending of the first film beautifully. Gollum's song was NOT going to be originally sung by Charlotte Church - blah - I asked Howard Shore personally when I met him and he confirmed the rumours that they wanted Bj�rk to sing - but she was heavily pregenant with her second child at the time. Emiliana still did a wonderful job. And for Into the West it actually uses themes that are heard throughout the soundtrack - mostly when Gandalf talks to Pippin about dying. I've never seen a video for the second two songs. Into the West is beautful, but Enya was robbed for Best Song at the 2002 Academy Awards. And... DON'T diss the soundtracks to the films -- they are BRILLIANT. Infact they are better than the original Star Wars Trilogy - the THEMES from the Original Trilogy - Vader's theme, Title theme, Leia's theme maybe brilliant and pop-culture classics - but overall the soundtracks are quite dull. The lastest trilogy - just crap (well not too bad but John Williams just seems to sound the same now - except for probably Prisoner of Azkaban (which may have been Alfonsu Curon's influence) and the soundtrack to A.I. Which is MOSTLY unique and beautiful - for him - but there are some very Williamsesque moments. In summary don't diss the Lord of the Rings scores! :) Andrew [/QB][/QUOTE]
