Evening Star: the Eternal Light - Elvish Melodies from the Motion Score : The Lord of the Rings

How can I be so homesick for a world that doesn't exist? :(

Thank J. R. R. Tolkien for the books; thank Peter Jackson for the movies; thank Howard Shore for the music; and thank God for all of the above 🙏🏻

There’s a generation of people who will grow old to this beautiful music... who have been listening to it over the past 20 years. God bless you all. The sad part is when we leave this world.. we can’t experience it anymore 😥😥

I bought my own Rivendell - a remote place in West Wales untouched by time for over 500 years. Never thought we’d find a place like it. No road only a track. The land slopes away to the wooded valley where there are streams, waterfalls. No traffic, no noise and beautiful night skies, sunrises and sunsets. There is an ancient footpath crosses the land. If you’re meant to, you’ll find it just like we did. Amazingly beautiful place

The Elf locations are my favorite. They really captured the vibe of immortal beings. Rivendel, Lothlorien and Mirkwood are all great.

This song would make you feel like there's a sweet pain in our heart... So sad and lonely but beautiful at the same time...

I am so lucky to have watched these movies when I was a kid, I would rewatch them every week during summer and winter holidays. Ahh the memories 🥲😢 thank you Mr Tolkien and Peter Jackson The actors, the music - everything is so balanced and beautiful in the LOTR. There will never be such masterpiece ever again.

The world needs more uplifting and hopeful stories like this.

"I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen, of meadow-flowers and butterflies In summers that have been; Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were, with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair. I sit beside the fire and think of how the world will be when winter comes without a spring that I shall ever see. For still there are so many things that I have never seen: in every wood in every spring there is a different green. I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago, and people who will see a world that I shall never know. But all the while I sit and think of times there were before, I listen for returning feet and voices at the door."  TLoTR, Bilbo Baggins

One of the many things Jackson's Lord of the Rings got perfectly was the music. It was clear from the beginning that Howard Shore had read the books and knew Tolkien well enough to introduce that slight echo of Catholic chant.

Growing up I was obsessed with LOTR. I remember being 13 going to the midnight release of Return of the King on December 17, 2003. I was obsessed. And who knew that now after all of these years, I'd be talking to the love of my life with this music in the background. Fighting for the same goal that Aragorn and Arwin put their lives on the line to achieve! Victory. VICtory -- VICTORY!!!

The people who listen this music I honour u and hold u in the highest of esteem I love u and wish u the best lives xoxoxo

"If Aragorn survives this war, you will still be parted. If Sauron is defeated, and Aragorn made king and all that you had hoped for comes true, you will still have to taste the bitterness of mortality. Whether by the sword or the slow decay of time, Aragorn will die. 0:00 And there will be no comfort for you. No comfort to ease the pain of his passing. He will come to death, an image of the splendour of the Kings of Men undimmed before the breaking of the World. But you, my daughter...you will linger on in darkness and in doubt. As nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Here you will dwell, bound to your grief, under the fading trees. Until all the World is changed, and the long years of your life are utterly spent."

I'm convinced this is the purest form of musical genius I will ever hear in my entire lifetime. I've been an avid fan of the elves and Rivendell since I was a child, and my love has grown the older I get.

Praise God for Tolkien and good literature. "Fairytales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist.  Fairytales tell children that dragons can be killed."  - G K Chesterton

“You will find that the world has changed forever” now more than ever in 2020

I was born in 2000. I was not conscious for when these films came out, but they were treated, as I was growing up, as almost a treasured secret of humankind that we made something like this film and even just Tolkien's brilliant mind and writing alone. I am just so glad to be alive at the time when his writing can be appreciated. :)

This music makes you feel these feelings you never thought you had.

The Lord Of The Ring, I won't forget this all my life. Thanks for JRRT And Peter Jackson..

Was in a work daze at my desk until the vocal at 3:30 propelled me out of the mental fog. For the next minute my work, stress, pain etc. disappeared as I was transported somewhere where these things did not exist. Our emotional connections with sound are unbelievable. What beautiful and captivating music!
