Cabin Pressure S4E1 clip no. 2 (This time with Benedict Cumberbatch and Stephanie Cole)

#i am in an exclusive relationship with the very bottom note of Richard Armitage’s vocal register

red-violin:

Artist/Composer: Neil Finn, Howard Shore

Song name: Song of the Lonely Mountain
Released: 11 December 2012

Lyrics:

Far over the Misty Mountains rise
Leave us standing upon the height
What was before, we see once more
Is our kingdom, a distant light

Fiery mountain beneath the moon
The words aren’t spoken, we’ll be there soon
For home a song that echoes on
And all who find us will know the tune

Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the back of us yet
We’ll fight as long as we live

All lies on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain bourne
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Until we get our long forgotten gold

We lay under the Misty Mountains cold
In slumbers deep, and dreams of gold
We must awake, our lives to make
And in the darkness a torch we hold

From long ago when lanterns burned
Until this day our hearts have yearned
A fate unknown; the Arkenstone
What was stolen must be returned

We must away, and make the day
To find our song, for heart and soul

Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the end of it yet
We’ll fight as long as we live

All lies on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain bourne
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Till we get our long forgotten gold

Far away the Misty Mountains cold

Part 2/2 Here are the last three metamorphoses. Hope you enjoy them.

These are Benjamin Britten’s “Six Metamorphoses After Ovid” played by the wonderful and very charming Nicholas Daniel and read by Benedict Cumberbatch.

I have the whole recital if anyone is interested. Just send me an ask and I’ll put it up to download somewhere.

Edit and the link to part 1/2 is http://rox712.tumblr.com/post/36343590517/i-hope-that-this-sounds-ok-it-was-a-church-and-no#notes

I hope that this sounds OK. It was a church and no mics were used. The voice is low and the music is sometimes loud. It is part one of two because of the tumblr restrictions.

These are Benjamin Britten’s “Six Metamorphoses After Ovid” played by the wonderful and very charming Nicholas Daniel and read by Benedict Cumberbatch.

Edit. Oh, and part 2/2 tomorrow, again because of tumblr restrictions.

“Javert’s Suicide” - Les Misérables

_{And must I now begin to doubt,
Who never doubted all these years?
My heart is stone and still it trembles
The world I have known is lost in shadow.
Is he from heaven or from hell?
And does he know
That granting me my life today
This man has killed me even so?}
