Faleel 5,360 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 So, I've seen many comments saying The Last Goodbye sounds quite similar to Into The West. Who agrees? Who disagrees? Answer... NOW!it does and it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnald 365 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 It's better and far less offensive than Ed Sheeran, and that's all the matters. Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannhauser 101 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 To be honest, the song which the last goodbye reminds me most of is Use Well the Days, although the harmonic shifts and instrumentation are definitely somewhat reminiscent of Into the West. I like what I've heard of it, and think it will be the best end credits song of the trilogy. I wish Boyd's vocals were purer, as in Home is Behind, and less "pop". That bend he does on "I must away" is miserable. Still anything is better than Sheeran in my book.So Thrain is indeed from the Desolation of Smaug EE. Wow. Some great stuff in there. Loving the return of the Uillean pipes in Ironfoot! Seems to be a lot of incidental music from the DOS soundtrack being elaborated upon, eg the escape from mirkwood buildup material appearing in "There and Back Again".Some fabulous action music in Battle for the Mountain and To the Death. Love the development of Thorin and Erebor in The Ruins of Dale, Sons of Durin, and The Fallen.This is going to be a great piece! Don't care much about the film, but colour me excited for the score.Nice to have you back Tanny!Thank you! I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide.

I think he listened Peter Jackson. Kind of mandatory.But yeah your observations seem spot on.The Dragon Sickness motif is really prevalent throughout. I bet Thorin is going really crazy in the film.Some really interesting percussion in this one as well. On the lighter side this time.Ah the Clouds Burst features (perhaps expectedly) Dain's theme.

Incanus 5,716 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 The Return Journey, sounds like Tides of hope a bit.It is a much sombre ending coupled with There and Back Again than I had expected. I really thought something more upbeat and hobbity would end the score but of course the clips do not show everything.And I too think that there is a bit of Into the West in the style and mood of Billy Boyd's song.Some might hate that they went with the "bagpipes/Uillean pipes for dwarves" in the end but I actually have nothing against it. Ironfoot sounds very distinctive and cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way it is the right direction as Bilbo is not the same hobbit that he was before and even the novel acknowledges that even though it ends on a happy note but musically I always love it when they return to the warmth comforts of the Shire themes.What the heck is that Dragon-Sickness track?

Scurrying around, underneath the action.Ooh, Mordor Skip-beat counterpoint Lothlorien. Hopefully an action variant will come soon into the track.Ruins of Dale sounds like a really cool battle-prep cue, with some ring-like figures circling around. And Gandalf's theme is back!
