CHANGE:
Arwen's vision of Eldarion -
CR &
OST : These lyrics have always been
problematic and with lots of conflicting
information and opinions, I've chosen to go
with what I thought I could best agree with
and declare the issue closed - not to be
revisited. I'm not sure the phonetic lyrics
cleared any mystery up other than what
sounds people are singing. If you wish to
try to match the phonetic lyrics up to the
source text,
The Evening Star, have at it.
CHANGE: The
life blood of the Eldar leaves Arwen -
CR &
OST : ditto for above. It's essentially
an extension of the singing heard earlier in
Arwen's vision of Eldarion.
NEW: Rohan
answers Gondor's call for aid : This
singing is not on either the CR or OST but
was included in the ROTK Live concert. Since
my lyrics info is categorized by type of CD
release, I've put it on its source text
page,
Entmoot.
NEW: That
mountain is evil : Although we'd had
discussions about what was sung in this
scene, I was unsure enough not to offer
anything on this website. Now we know what
is sung on the
CR.
NEW: Traveling on the
Dimholt Road - couldn't make out lyrics
before this.
CR only
NEW: Minas Tirith is
overrun - couldn't make out lyrics
before this.
CR
& OST
NEW:
Drive them to the river!
- couldn't make out lyrics before this.
CR only
MINOR CHANGE: Éowyn vs. the Witch King - one
syllable, speculated to be sung but confirmed now not to
be, was dropped.
CR only
CHANGE: The Death of
Théoden - replaced old, speculated lyrics.
CR only
CHANGE: On the side of
the mountain - corrected lyrics for
CR &
OST. Fine tuned where the OST is the same or
divergent from the movie.
CHANGE: For Frodo; the
final battle - 2-2:35, we were very unsure of the
lyrics. It turns out, we were trying to use the wrong
source song. Part way through this scene, the source
text switches from "For
Frodo" to "The
Eagles".
CR only
NEW: The Moth and the
Eagles Arrive - couldn't make out lyrics with high
certainty before this.
CR only
NEW: The Seduction of
Frodo - this music was not in the theatrical release
of the movies but is heard on the CR and in the ROTK
Live Symphony. For more info, read the notes after the
CR lyrics information.
CHANGE: The Destruction of
the Ring - we tweaked a few syllables and their
timing and determined
that the final portion, heard on the CR but not in the
movie, is from
The
Argument, not
The Destruction of the Ring.
CHANGE: The Destruction
of Barad-dûr - the choir lyrics aren't helping us a
whole lot here. The phonetical syllables match some
words from Don't Let Go but not all. And there doesn't
seem to be a better source text to draw from. I've
simply provided the syllables the choir sings and left
it at that.
CR only
CHANGE: The Destruction
of the Black Gates - I extended a note on how the
movie's lyrics differ from the
CR.
ADDITION: The Eagles
- choir lyrics added -
CR &
OST
