Rachel's voice is softer than Emiliana Torrini, and I think it lends itself better here. If Emiliana's version was like a lamentation, Rachel's is like a eulogy. It's the difference between Gollum dying slowly vs already gone. Both valid, but I like this cover a lot.

Thank you for watching and for the support :)

That song Rachel is truly heartbreaking. I'm so happy to can listening to your extremely deep voice in this your new great cover.❤ I'll bee always grateful to you for your amazing work. ❤

The somber charm of this song was completely lost on me when I was a kid. No longer. Beautifully done.

Our beautiful elf maiden returns with another gem for us ♥ So happy I live in this time to see and hear songs like this ❤

This music and voice... Goosebumps on my skin

You have just the voice for this song. A hauntingly beautiful piece, Rachel.

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. 😊

Can't do it justice, eh? Let me tell you, that's you at your absolute freaking best. Love it, great job.

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

Haunting song about a heartbreakingly tragic character.

Makes me instantly yearn for an extended edition!

Yet another fantastic cover, it is just hauntingly beautiful! If I say that you did the original justice, this is about the biggest compliment I could give.❤ It is so rare to see a musician who consistently delivers both vocally and emotionally!

I can't think of a single song you've done that I didn't absolutely love, but your voice lends so much power to the more haunting melodies you do. This is nothing short of perfect. Stay amazing.

Finally my suggestion!! Just as amazing as I knew it would be!

This, is one of the most soul wrenching versions of this song I have heard. It's beautifully done, from the slow funeral-dirge esq music, to the cadence and softly mourning lyrics. It is, hands down, one of the best renditions you've ever produced.

this song was so good! "My precious... Gollum approves of this masterpiece, yes... yesss.. GOLLUM! GOLLUM!"

The atmosphere of this song is giving me goosebumps! Thank you for a very good cover, Rachel!

This is sooooo good!! Amazing performance and wonderful production from beginning to end. Your voice is so beautiful and so haunting. Thanks for your courage and patience.

Such a beautiful talent thanks for blessing us again! 🙌🏽

This was hauntingly beautiful performance Rachel ❤just simply beautiful, much love xx

Wow, haunting, and yet tragic. Awesome voice and song all the way! i'd bet that if you played this back to yourself, you had to of been amazed by the level of energy you put into this.

I think you succeeded in not only doing justice to the original song, but also in letting your own expressive light shine through it.

Once more, congrats Rachel, you nailed it! Your voice is so pure and beautiful 🧡

You have such a beautiful and calming voice. Wonderful cover.

❤ Beautiful as always Rachel ❤️

Once upon a time, I was very fortunate to sing in a project choir, who sang all the singing parts live + an orchestra was playing the music score live while the movie was running. The coolest project ever!!! Singing in elvish was really special 😍😍😍 Ur beautiful version of this song took me back to this wonderful time 😍😍😍 thx so much!!! Btw, the elvish ear piece is just as beautiful as u and ur voice 😍😍😍

Beautiful and haunting! Excellent job!

@@RachelHardy What is this ear accessory called? Would like to buy

This was the song featured in the trilogy which resonated most strongly with me. Loss is the human experience. In time, all is lost. How we deal with that shapes our character. Like Poe said, "So being young & dipped in folly, I fell in love with melancholy."

Epic song for Gollum 👍

Oh wow, your voice is perfect for this song! Truly a fantastic job! Brava!
