Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,260 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Howard Shore co-wrote this song, didn't he? KarolI definitely hear some Shore in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,520 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Well, checked the CD. Yes, he's credited. It's one of the themes from the score anyway. I really like the last piece on the album when you hear the orchestral version.http://youtu.be/yX_4_LyNW9USo, obviously he's not shying away from collaborating with teen idols.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little more odd for the film in question here. But... I liked all the LotR songs, I liked Neil's song, and I'll wager that I'll like this one too, whoever sings it.

Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,260 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 You know, Shore/Metric is a catchy combination. I dig the singer's voice. I think I like the idea of a Shore/Sheeran tune. Why not? SafeUnderHill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to be apprehensive of less thematic music, which I hear Shore is known for outside of the Middle Earth films.It's good. Intimate, somewhat brooding atmosphere that he usually deals in outside of Middle-Earth. Might not tickle your fancy if you're only in it for big themes.Ok, I really can't stop listening to that song from Twilight.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,647 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 So, we can expect some last minute orchestral arrangements of the song replacing Shore's themes for Beorn and Laketown, yes?Calm down man! Why are people going nuts over some track titles by a dubious Frenchman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,260 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm not purely into themes, but non-thematic music tends to require more listens to get into for me. Is it correct that Jimmy P was also not orchestrated soley by Shore (apprently Hugo is the same)?As far as I know both were done by Shore alone. Hugo did have a second conductor though.So, we can expect some last minute orchestral arrangements of the song replacing Shore's themes for Beorn and Laketown, yes?Calm down man!

Heard some of the tracks. It's alright, some nice conservative material, but not a necessary addition to your collection.And Shore + Metric is actually a great combination. Shore usually knows how to work well with mainstream artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo 3,828 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I hope Shore had some input if Sheeran is doing the song. He hasn't got a bad voice but I'm not a fan of his music. I think he's done some rap as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,308 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Yes. They played a cool choral rendition of the Woodland Realm music (the theme we heard in the AUJ Prologue) which was then taken over by the orchestra. There was what sounded like a new recording of the Edge of the Wild. Some Erebor theme statements (don't know if they were new or not). And there was some really cool new action material, which might be from the barrel scene. The last bit of new music was a menacing statement of The Threat of Dol Goldur.
