The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

[DiFabio]

I have a funny feeling Radagast will have even more bird excrement in his hair.

 

[Biojex]

W....T....F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't understand...why does this song receive such a reaction. Seems pretty mellow.

 

[crows]

well to be honest to me it's because it sounds like something I would hear on MTV Awards...
Might as well be the song to a Romantic Comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and katherine heigl.

Not only does it not go with The Hobbit, but it's the type of song I would expect from a movie starring channing tatum trying to date someone. It's just really f----- bizarre

 

[Biojex]

Seems fitting to me. Almost has an irish vibe to it. Plus the violins. When people say "pop" i think of Katy Perry and what have you. Things with synthesized sounds and autotuning. This doesnt sound like that. Me no know meester Crows.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Don't think guitar suits The Hobbit at all. Way too modern sounding but over the credits is fine. Kinda reminds me of the reaction to the song that played after Jaime lost his hand on Game of Thrones. People just hated it.

Trailer looks fantastic, though. That's all I care about.

one thing I find weird is people defending this but saying Gollum's song suck.

maybe you are right, POP song is the wrong way to describe it, You might be correct.

Still this one Sounds too much like a song I would send my girlfriend or something. Definitely sounds like a song like that, a R&B love song. To me sounds exactly like that.

okay, for the sake of argument Ill give you some examples. This is the kind of same vibe and style the Hobbit song has

To me they sound like the same style. R&B Love songs, I don't see any difference as far as the beat and the rhythm goes. To me these 3 songs feel the same

now, those two songs I posted, They are Nice songs. I like them because they are smooth and cool, But I would NEVER thought The Hobbit would have that kind of "love" sounding song... It's just kind of shocking at first.

Can't agree . The hobbit song just doesn't have that beat or syncopation. The songs (well the usher one. The other wasnt available in my country...or whatever) you posted are like...bumpin and grind rhythms . Hobbit song doesnt give me that.

I do feel you on the "song id send to my gf" notion though. Just not in the R&B sense. I'd say the hobbit song is closer to something like John Mayer or Jack Johnson.

that too, maybe I was wrong with the R&B song,
but the Hobbit song makes me think of Sam sending love letters to Rosie Cotton lol

HOW can you say it doesn't suit the Hobbit when you haven't seen DoS? It might suit the film very well thank you!! It may not suit your view of Middle-Earth in general, but so far EVERY song from LOTR and the Hobbit has fit into the general feeling of the end of the movie, and i'm sure this will too. He did after all watch the movie before writing the song.

For me, Enya's May it Be is my favourite so far. Josh i don't know how you can say it doesn't fit into middle-earth when it's the most Tolkien-y song of the lot! It includes alot of themes important to Tolkien and fits the mood of the end of the film so well.

As does Gollums song. I may not buy it, but i like it and think it does a good job of playing to the mood of the end of TTT.

 

[BagginsOfBagEnd]

Just still got a funny feeling that Radagast will die. Maybe a sad one like Boromirs death

Hope not! Although must admit I'm a bit concerned for Radagast as well!

I love all of them. Into The West is my favorite of all of them. I actually like this one more than the one from AUJ more out of the gate.

Agree with that...They are all good songs but that one is the best one of the lot and really fitting for the end of the LOTR films.

As for the new song, it isn't too bad - it's growing on me!

maybe the movie ends in a romantic note...

I didn't say it didn't belong. All I said was it was my least favorite of the three from The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

I think you need to check the words out to the song. There is nothing romantic about it.

 

[greygoose]

I hope there's another song as epic as Misty Mountains in TDoS. That song gives me goosebumps just listening to it.

 

[The Ween]

I doubt this is in any of the actual movie. Song of the Lonely Mountain wasn't so I doubt they do that with this one.

Wasn't there tastes of it throughout the movie?

Not that I'm aware of. You get plenty of shores Misty Mountains theme but not the version that was done for the credits.

 

[CelticPredator]

The theme to the film was also used in the song to accompany the end credits. Like a James Bond theme.

If you listen closely, they have the same melody.

Come on Josh.

 

[The Josh]

I just listened to the Neil Finn song and Shores bit which is used during the movie is in the tail end of it. They're sort of similar but what you hear in the movie is not for the most part what's heard in that song.
