I can't get The Wandering Day out of my head now. I didn't find it the most accessible melody to start with.
 
The Numenor and Nori Brandyfoot themes are also stuck in there.... well honestly they are all are sort of on rotation. I've lost count of how many times I've listened through this now.

I really hope the melody of "Wandering Day" gets more love throughout the series. The Main teaser had a pretty epic riff of it. It'd be funny if it accidentally became a main theme similarly to how "Misty Mountains" started as just a song the dwarves sang and later became the power house theme of AUJ.

Man, this score gets better and better the closer you listen to it.

Yeah this, to me, is a nightmare scenario. They can't use Howard Shore's themes and Bear is handcuffed and forced to make something that sounds "familiar" rather than create something bold and interesting of his own. What we'll get is a bargain bin version of what Howard Shore did. Hope to be proven wrong but this is really terrible news to me. I had hoped the new composer would have freedom to collaborate w/ Shore in some areas and run free on their own in other areas.

If Doug is here/can elaborate... that would be greatly appreciated. I'm still very excited in the show and have faith it'll be good.... but this has totally taken the wind out of my sails. Shore's music was 80% of what I was looking forward to.
