The lyrics, for anyone who wants a copy posted here: The world was young, the mountains green, No stain yet on the Moon was seen, No words were laid on stream or stone When Durin woke and walked alone. He named the nameless hills and dells; He drank from yet untasted wells; He stooped and looked in Mirrormere, And saw a crown of stars appear, As gems upon a silver thread, Above the shadows of his head. The world was fair, the mountains tall, In Elder Days before the fall Of mighty kings in Nargothrond And Gondolin, who now beyond The Western Seas have passed away: The world was fair in Durin's Day. A king he was on carven throne In many-pillared halls of stone With golden roof and silver floor, And runes of power upon the door. The light of sun and star and moon In shining lamps of crystal hewn Undimmed by cloud or shade of night There shone for ever fair and bright. There hammer on the anvil smote, There chisel clove, and graver wrote; There forged was blade, and bound was hilt; The delver mined, the mason built. There beryl, pearl, and opal pale, And metal wrought like fishes' mail, Buckler and corslet, axe and sword, And shining spears were laid in hoard. Unwearied then were Durin's folk; Beneath the mountains music woke: The harpers harped, the minstrels sang, And at the gates the trumpets rang. The world is grey, the mountains old, The forge's fire is ashen-cold; No harp is wrung, no hammer falls: The darkness dwells in Durin's halls; The shadow lies upon his tomb In Moria, in Khazad-dûm. But still the sunken stars appear In dark and windless Mirrormere; There lies his crown in water deep, Till Durin wakes again from sleep.

The manliest of operas, period.

I’ve wanted to say this for a long time, because I felt it, but I was able to formulate it only now: the voices blend so well because they seem to embrace everything. Bobby's voice is pure art, it's hard to believe that he can sound so academic and captivating, as if hugging you with velvet. Jonathan's voice is like the power of the nature's elements - it is something from thunder and wind, storm and crashing waves. and Colm’s voice for me personally is a man in all his feelings, from tenderness in love and laughter in joy to combat rage and deep sorrow. Dear God, I want to listen to you guys forever.

Gentlemen!! Wow!! As a professional metal singer, and vocal coach, I just gotta say....... ummmm..... I think the very bones just melted out of my body! * YOUR voices are the ones I've always heard, in my head, for all these many years, when I read about the dwarves singing in Moria. Outstanding!

I are old and demented. I remembered that this song evolved from a number of older songs but what I remembered was from 2012 which isn't old at all. 🤤 I like how he includes an undertone of throat singing which most people can't do.

Well Dwarves are more "down to earth" ;D ! But yes I do agree with what you said, Elves are like the " role model student" , although fascinating, beautifull and loyal, their un-aging and viewing themselves as the best race ( for most of them) is what makes them slightly less relatable to us humans, whilst the Dwarves while Blunt and not the most polite folk in the outerlayer are deep down more complex than one may think, at least they were... Also unlike Elves they benefit from long life spans yes but eventually even they will wither and die..their pleasure for more daily things such as good food & booze makes them somewhat relatable and their shorter yet sturdy stature making them a bit clumsy is also a characteristic that somewhat lightens the mood in some darker moments !
