Fantastic song! This song has brought memories of my childhood. At a very young age I would read books on rocks, minerals, caves, mining, geology, speleology, volcanology, and more. I found the books in the kids section inadequate and quickly moved on to the adults section. I have been called a Dwarf a few times. Many people find it boring and some I saw a immediate reaction on their face. I don't and still love stones. It has been awhile where I do not remember all that I read, but you definitely brought back many memories! Thank you for that! You guys also a great New Year!
@@fruitchewx127 I've heard it's metal, so i've avoided it. But i've been a yogscast watcher since around the time diggy diggy hole was born, so I'm very familiar with the first 3 versions.
The moment the blaring horns started, I immediately thought " Mmmmm, LOTR. " It fits the mood and the score style that Shore used for the movies. The solemness and the boasting nature of the dwarves of Middle Earth is perfectly captured here. It also reminded me of The Song of Durin, another Clamavi de Profundis masterpiece
As always spectacular! It brings dwarven culture to life. A huge congratulations to David North. I can see dwarves singing away as they hammer, chisel, and hew their way, forming halls and dwellings and palaces and fortifications ever deeper.
I just read this in the novel Astral Threads from North. Been listening to you for a while so I got excited when I saw the lyrics and knew where it was from!
I'm from Poland and I always listen to your music when I walk on Tatra Mountains although in Poland the mountains are more associated with legends about sleeping knights and ancient pagan demons than about dwarves
Hi there! Yeah sleeping knights are fun legend. Or spirits of mountains, dunno about Tatra but in the west we have at least one. Then again with our history I am sure most of us relate to dwarves of Tolkien and to be fair Clamavi too.
People always underestimate the dwarves, for they are short, stocky and earthy. And yet, people forget they are craftsmen. The reason why dragons go after them is because of the beauty of their halls, the love and joy of creation that can be found in their works unmatched by most. Theirs is a rich and vibrant culture... but also a private one, deep beneath the earth :)
You guys have the Dwarven music down. I love the original work and covers you do. I was hooked on the music you guys put out the first LOTR song you released. Good job keep it up.
This is just awesome. I was reading David North's book when this song came up. Reading the lyrics and actually hearing them is such a different experience. You guys knocked it out of the park!
I find great beauty in stone itself and the treasure there in. At a very young age I would read books on rocks, minerals, caves, mining, geology, speleology, volcanology, and more. I found the books in the kids section inadequate and quickly moved on to the adults section. I have been called a Dwarf a few times. lol
Here I am, about to use this song as a fuel for writing yet another part of fantasy story not containing dwarves at all (and mining only is small amounts). Just like the rest of Clamavi De Profundis dwarwen songs.
I love this, Dwarves of the mountains have always been a favorite of mine within fantasy stories. Sadly, it also reminds me of how disappointed I was in the brevity of 'Misty Mountains Cold' in the 1st Hobbit film from Peter Jackson. Even the soundtrack didnt expand on it with a full version.
