Song of Durin (LOW BASS) Clamavi De Profundis Cover feat. @jonathanymusic @the.bobbybass

Your LOTR songs have that unique vibe of mighty ancient civilisations that never existed, but feel so real. Thank you, Colm!

The Clamavi de Profundis version is dear to my heart but this is great. Love it.

The lyrics, for anyone who wants a copy posted here: The world was young, the mountains green, No stain yet on the Moon was seen, No words were laid on stream or stone When Durin woke and walked alone. He named the nameless hills and dells; He drank from yet untasted wells; He stooped and looked in Mirrormere, And saw a crown of stars appear, As gems upon a silver thread, Above the shadows of his head. The world was fair, the mountains tall, In Elder Days before the fall Of mighty kings in Nargothrond And Gondolin, who now beyond The Western Seas have passed away: The world was fair in Durin's Day. A king he was on carven throne In many-pillared halls of stone With golden roof and silver floor, And runes of power upon the door. The light of sun and star and moon In shining lamps of crystal hewn Undimmed by cloud or shade of night There shone for ever fair and bright. There hammer on the anvil smote, There chisel clove, and graver wrote; There forged was blade, and bound was hilt; The delver mined, the mason built. There beryl, pearl, and opal pale, And metal wrought like fishes' mail, Buckler and corslet, axe and sword, And shining spears were laid in hoard. Unwearied then were Durin's folk; Beneath the mountains music woke: The harpers harped, the minstrels sang, And at the gates the trumpets rang. The world is grey, the mountains old, The forge's fire is ashen-cold; No harp is wrung, no hammer falls: The darkness dwells in Durin's halls; The shadow lies upon his tomb In Moria, in Khazad-dûm. But still the sunken stars appear In dark and windless Mirrormere; There lies his crown in water deep, Till Durin wakes again from sleep.

A couple months after my daughter was born last year I decided to memorize this poem to sing as I rocked her to sleep. Singing this song still helps her calm down when she is having a hard time.

Tolkien did such a good job worldbuilding a people who's golden age had come and long gone, and of portraying the deep heartbreak of those that still lived. I get misty whenever I hear Durin's song.

I'm SO glad Clamavi De Profundis is getting the recognition they deserve. They're such an amazing channel, and your cover does them justice.

In my opinion, there is nothing sexier than deep bass, baritone voices. Damn. 💜

As a bass-baritone, this makes me so happy. I have CHILLS. Three certifiable bass singers combining forces and delivering an incredible performance. Props to all of you!

This gives me chills. Literally sounds like its being sung in a deep, vast cavern with perfect acoustics. . .as it would be with a dwarven choir

I wish Tolkien could’ve heard this. I think he’d probably be very happy and enjoy this.

I dare say Tolkien would shed tears of pride and joy at seeing such a powerful and wonderful work of art

Gentlemen!! Wow!! As a professional metal singer, and vocal coach, I just gotta say....... ummmm..... I think the very bones just melted out of my body! * YOUR voices are the ones I've always heard, in my head, for all these many years, when I read about the dwarves singing in Moria. Outstanding!

Ok, be real… WHO saw this coming? Also drop your dwarven name below? Also before anyone asks, Bobby did the subharmonic at the end! 🤌

Can you stop please? I watched this video over 200 times, and still can't stop. Amazing voices!

I are old and demented. I remembered that this song evolved from a number of older songs but what I remembered was from 2012 which isn't old at all. 🤤 I like how he includes an undertone of throat singing which most people can't do.

"The shadow lies upon his tomb, in Moria, in Khazad-dûm" I don’t know why but this lines always make me cry in any version of the song, and Bobby sang it so beautifully i felt my heart miss a beat ❤

Gentlemen your voices achieve the miracle of making us part of the Durin's folk and feeling with them the sorrow for the days long past ! Sadness yet hope for "when Durin wakes again from sleep" . Glorious !

I’ve wanted to say this for a long time, because I felt it, but I was able to formulate it only now: the voices blend so well because they seem to embrace everything. Bobby's voice is pure art, it's hard to believe that he can sound so academic and captivating, as if hugging you with velvet. Jonathan's voice is like the power of the nature's elements - it is something from thunder and wind, storm and crashing waves. and Colm’s voice for me personally is a man in all his feelings, from tenderness in love and laughter in joy to combat rage and deep sorrow. Dear God, I want to listen to you guys forever.

This could not have come at a better time. Reading The Hobbit to my children for the first time and have supplemented with various epic versions of Hobbit songs. Had run out before now and what a WONDERFUL addition. You made my 8yo cry, she says it's the most glorious thing she's ever heard. Stay handsome gentlemen!

All dwarven music needs to be performed by basses. These three gentlemen transport me to Khazad-dum and Gimli reciting/singing this for the Fellowship. Absolutely phenomenal, making me feel a deep sense of loss for a time and place that never were.
