"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.

    You pick the best songs to cover. Watching you sing is like watching & listening to an angel. If I can ever think of a song perfect for your voice, I'll be sure to mention it. I just can't think of anything at the moment, because you already pick the best songs. 😊
  • The musical score in these movies where wonderful they make s great addition to the actors and scenery. I think they pushed the envelope in every regard. I so enjoyed this haunting tune I played over and over. A big extended aplaude to this beautiful voice

  • I can't wait for her original music to come out if she ever decides to. It's gonna be legendary. Such a beautiful voice
  • I just finished watching the extended edition of the Lord of the Rings trilogy a few days ago! Your timing couldn't have been more perfect! Well done, Rachel! 😁
