I agree. The Durin's are the greatest of all the Dwarves yet they suffered the most. But when it comes to the suffering of these dwarves nobody can match the blows that fell on Thorin who lived most of his life far from his kingdom and when it is his time to prosper in his hard-earned throne, alas he was killed along with his nephews who only knew of the greatness of their kingdom from stories. Fili and Kili never lived to experience being a royalty.

Yeah. I didn't know how sad it actually was. The other day I got bored and did a little research on it, Durin the Last's story is awfully sad. If you didn't know, Durin was believed by the dwarves to be reincarnated. It ended at Durin VII, or the seventh. He stayed as the last dwarf king till the last of the dwarves died off of middle earth, ruling in Moria. It is, indeed, really, really cry-worthy.

@Thor.Jorgensen

3 жыл бұрын

​@@chiefbennywawa1333 I may very well be wrong, but Durin's Folk did not end with Thorin II at Erebor, or even in Khazad-dûm with the death of Balin and Óin. For Thorin Stonehelm, son of Dáin Ironfoot would live on as king of Erebor, and together with Gimli, would go on to live beyond what Tolkien had written in the Fourth Age. And while they may not have succeeded in retaking Khazad-dûm, Erebor and the dwarves of Durin's Folk continued to thrive well into the Fourth Age. And succeeding Thorin Stonehelm was his son Durin, known Durin as the Last (As he was the last reincarnation of Durin the Deathless) and he would succeed in leading Durin's folk back to Khazad-dûm, to rule over both Erebor and Khazad-dûm, restoring the kingdom of Durin's folk, where he would rule "till the world grew old" The Dwarves, including Durin's Folk, prospered during the Fourth Age, at the time where the elves faded from Middle Earth. And they would live on for many more ages until they eventually too faded from Middle Earth, perhaps in the 6th age. But the fading of dwarves is perhaps meant more that the dwarves hid in the mountains, while the dominion of man reigned. "These were the fading years of the Eldar. [...] they attempted nothing new, living in memory of the past. The Dwarves hid themselves in deep places, guarding their hoards." ― The Tale of Years: The Third Age

You know something brilliant I just noticed? The Song of Durin is structured in the book to have six stanzas, just as there have been six Durins in Dwarven history (Durin VI was the one felled by Durin's Bane). The sixth verse (just like the sixth Durin) end in a sad note about waiting for Durin to awaken from his sleep. Seven is the Dwarven holy number, and it is said the seventh Durin will be the prophetized Durin who will bring back all joy in the world and bring the Dwarves to their golden age. Perhaps when he comes, there'll be a seventh stanza?

What did they do it all for? They didn't live in these darksome holes surely?' 'These are not holes,' said Gimli. 'This is the great realm and city of the Dwarrowdelf. And of old it was not darksome, but full of light and splendour, as is still remembered in our songs.' He rose and standing in the dark he began to chant in a deep voice, while the echoes ran away into the roof.

This really makes me tear up. I really think that the dwarves, not the race of man, are the most human and deeply relate able characters in Tolkien. Unlike the elves, the dwarves are mortal. Their greatest kings and heroes do not remain in dwelling with them throughout the ages, so they have to pass on the legends of their great ancestors. There is no certainty that their greatest hero, Durin, will reawaken and bring about another age of gold for the dwarves. The last lines always get me, "the world is grey the mountains old, the forges fire is ashen-cold." The world which the dwarves loved so much is now fading, and with it so are the dwarves. The shadow lies upon Durin's grave, all hope seems lost. But still the sunken stars appear in dark and windless Mirrormere- there lies his crown in waters deep, till Durin Wakes again from sleep". There's just so much hope in these last lines, and so much love for the dwarven race. It is truly beautiful. I am a total nerd.

Black country? As far as i have red there is/ was a lot of industry in that erea and it was named black country because of the smoke of the factories in older days? Not sure how this place can stand for middle earth. Or do you reffer to something related to war? Cause i have red that he might have used his fiction to get over something he expirienced in the war. And I have red that tolkien was an expert for germanic languages and germanic mythologie and that he took a lot of inspiration for the lord of the rings from acient germanic legends (Elven and dwarfs for example are figures from the germanic mythologie. even some of the dwarf names he used apear in some of the legends, also the Runs were an "alphabet" used by germanic priests they were said to be given by the gods and considered holy and powerfull so they were only used for religious reasons) And that he knew old languages like old german and gothic of course old english but also ice landic? My brother said that in his opinion middle earth is symbolic for europe i think so too actually. Sorry for grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. English is not my first language.

"In Black Pit, in Dwarven Mansion..." the former carries a weight of sorrow, but the latter a ringing of glory!

You can really feel the sadness and lament in their voices. The Dwarves, in my opinion, suffered some of the greatest tragedies out of all the races of middle earth. They went through several large scale population devastating events that dropped their numbers significantly, and eventually began to just fade from the world since they couldn’t reproduce their numbers as effectively, and this song clearly demonstrates their remembrance of Durins Day, when the world was good and life seemed to be peaceful and happy, until it began to fall.

Durin will awake again. He will awake one final time. Sadly it will also mark the final march of doom for his people, until the ending of the world. The Eldar pass on to the Halls of Mandos, and the Gift of Men is eternity beyond death...but the final fate of Durin's Folk is forever unknown...even to them.

'The world was fair, the mountains tall, 'In elder days before the fall.' That line makes me homesick for somewhere I've never yet been. If Heaven looks like the place you love most {who knows?}, then I'm going to end up in Middle-Earth.

The phrase "The Western Seas have passed away, the world was fair in Durin's day" just makes me want to cry. Same with "The darkness dwells in Durin's halls" The amount of sorrow fit into these few words is nothing short of magnificent. Tolkien man 👏🏼

The verses are proof of the genius that Tolkien was. The emotions that arise over an imaginary place are extraordinary. The rythm and singing do this great poem justice. Well done.

I love how in the two stanzas talking about the glory days of Moria, the rhythm resembles the sound of a blacksmith, hammering the metal. I can imagine that a folk, centred mostly, if not entirely around mining and smithery would have that reflected in their music, especially since probably a lot of it would've been created as working songs, sung to pass the time during heavy work and to make the work more efficient and enjoyable - kind of like shanties were originally used to keep the crew working in a single rhythm, like a well-oiled machine. One of the reason why I treat this as "THE" version, the one that would've been sung by the dwarves, whereas others sound like interpretations by other folk, trying to make it pretty, but ultimately not understanding why dwarven music was structured the way it was... Again, kind of like melodic versions of shanties. Pretty, but ultimately lacking the original soul.

I’ve always felt the dwarves are the underrated fantasy race. In most stories it’s either humans or elves who are the dominant people, with the other being the second most powerful. That’s one of the things I appreciated about The Witcher: while humans were the dominant force, it was the dwarves who adapted and became a powerful force in the world, becoming bankers and ore merchants and basically controlling the economy, while the elves regressed and became bandits and murderers.

I love how this song tells so much about dwarf and how they perceive their gold, metal and weapons. Durin became king as he saw a crown of stars by looking into the water. And even after all the great power of dwarves, all the weapon they forged, all their happiness, all that's left is their mightiest work : the crown in water awaiting the return of dwarves. The most important thing for them was something they couldn't reach, touch or hold. The very mountain is their home and that is the only thing they needed.

Durin VII (the Last), retook and brought Khazad-dûm back to its original splendour, and the Longbeards lived there till the "world grew old and the days of Durin's race ended". As told in "Of Dwarves and Men"

If you don't shed a tear at this part : "In Moria, In Khazad-Dûm" then you're not Dwarf

This song was sung in Moria by Gimli, when fellowship spent a night in a big city of The Dwarrow Delf.

I honestly think he'd be appreciating it. It's such a shame he is not alive to see the amount of love his works have gathered all across the world.

The Crusader sadly Tolkien was know to be a grumpy man about his work...

This was badass I must say. ❤ Tolkien would be proud.

Earlier in the song, it mentions Durin looked upon a lake and saw a crown of stars reflected in the waters. Later, the song mentions the sunken stars in a dark and windless Mirrormere, long after Durin's gone. Such a simple but powerful visual symbol of hope.

I never get tired of hearing this song and just love to imagine it being sung by the dwarves deep in their mountain halls while they're hard at work and adding to the mountain's song.

I literally cried. The melancholy and sense of having fallen from grace made me tear up like I haven't done in quite some time.

This song is one of the few things that will put my three week old son to sleep when he's fussy. He has great taste!
