The Most Epic Misty Mountains Cover - A Cappella 

When your bard finally hits lvl 20.

I wish Tolkein could have heard this. I think he would have been really moved by how much people loved his work and what it has inspired.

I'm going to go slay a dragon and reclaim a mountain - who's coming?

Did anyone notice that at 2:21, 2:42, and 2:54 the subtitles read [awesome acapella], [still great acapella] and [acapella intensifies] lol

i made the mistake of wearing headphones. my god, that opening bass is like thunder.

the lord of the rings series are my all time favorite movies. this doesn't even sound human, it's breathtaking. *chills*

Tales have been told, Songs have indeed finally been sung And Fili, Kili, Thorin Oakenshield have now passed into legend!!!!

Anyone still jamming to Peter Hollens 2022?

your vocal range is staggering. this absolutely blew me away.

I've never seen anyone have so good synergy with himself

you are your own fucking choir. holy shit.

Music teacher: We're doing a choir competition in 5 days Girls: We're doing Beyonce!! Boys:

A great voice, a great range, a great patience to record all the channels. None of these traits are individually rare, but Peter Hollins is gifted in possessing all 3.

This is the best version I have ever heard of misty mountain. That base at the beginning leaves you speechless. You can't help but respond with awe.

The fact that at one part there are 20+ little windows of him. And each is singing a different note. All edited together perfectly. This is just Mesmerizing

I love how the many little heads poking out of corners is so goofy, but the piece is so well done and haunting. Well done, sir.

One word: FLAWLESS. I love everything about this. Your voice is gorgeous in general, but your high register is just so beautiful. You are an amazing singer!!

You've got an impressive range. Also, good job!

it's not easy to take high notes after hit those bass then back to low again. what a talent 👍

R.I.P: Thorin Oakenshiled Fili Durin Kili Durin 💜💚💙❤️

I am deeply in love with this cover, it's almost haunting and eerie but very beautiful at the same time

His range is just... Just... Oh. My. God!!!

I love how his head moves, like you can just tell he's really into it.

I just finished re-reading The Hobbit today and had to cap the night off with this before bed. Cheers, Peter, to an amazing rendition, as always.

After listening to the original first I was like; Eh, this version is kinda ok. But then I gave it a try a couple of times more and now I actually prefer it over the original. And I have zero regrets

This is an absolutely fabulous cover. Your humming face is hilarious.

Besides the music, which is fantastic obviously goes without saying, I adore the Zoolander-esque faces you make when you sing.

People who are capable of doing things like this with no instruments are on a level that 99.999 percent of us will never reach let alone master.😍😍😍

This is one of the most beautiful things I have every heard on youtube. It brings tears to my eyes.

It's incredible how you can reach those low bass range notes up to those high soprano range notes so effortlessly! You sir, make the best multitracks ever!

You Sir, you have done something with music that I haven't heard in nearly 20 years. You have given it not only a soul, but you've also given it life. You have stirred my musical heart with such astounding movement and measure that tears of pure joy have slipped unnoticed from within my depths and caused my heart to soar with Gwaihir himself. I thank you and applaud you.

When this trailer aired in the theatres the first time my family had seen it, I was in full baritone mode singing this. My dad looked at me and asked if I was lip syncing or had truest blended in. I simply wiggled an eyebrow and continued singing.

I love that he can reach so many different pitches. Both low and high.

It goes without saying, but your vocal range is absolutely amazing.

Peter, you need to do 'Let My People Go' from 'The Prince of Egypt'

It was delightful listening to you singing, but also hearing your well-wishes in the end, that was very sweet. Six years later, but I hope you are having as great a time as you can! And thanks to you for singing and sharing your beautiful voice with us 😊

dude your music is phenomenal. Keep up the good work. Seriously.

And 11 months later... Today is the Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug

the humming goes straight through speakers and through the floor jeez!!! EPIC cover!!!

This world does not deserve a voice as beautiful as Peter Hollens'.

This song was the proof that Evil doesn't always get the best Bass.

You have been given such a wonderful gift from God!

I had no idea how much I really liked this song.

8 years later and I still get chills from this

This song made me 5ft tall but I grew a beard (._.)... now where's me axe? ~hmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmm~

How has your amazing talent only reached 1 and a half million subscribers?!

Far over the Misty Mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day, To find our long forgotten gold. The pines were roaring on the height, The winds were moaning in the night. The fire was red, it flaming spread; The trees like torches blazed with light. The wind was on the withered heath, But in the forest stirred no leaf: There shadows lay be night or day, And dark things silent crept beneath. (Aaaahh aaahh...) The wind went on from West to East; All movement in the forest ceased, But shrill and harsh across the marsh Its whistling voices were released. Farewell we call to hearth and hall! Though wind may blow and rain may fall, We must await ere break of day Far over wood and mountain tall.

Anyone else: listens to this and sings along me: *pretends in a conductor leading a whole choir and not knowing wtf I'm doing*

2:02 was the best harmony ever ☺☺😊😊😀😀😃😃

Listening to your music is just the BEST THING EVER.

Peter Hollens , i so admire you you have the face of thorin oakenshield from the movie and you sang just like him and you gave justice to the song i like , i so admire you truly a rare talent, two thumbs up .

when i first saw the title i was like realy the most epic. how is this guy going to make a claim like that. i watched it and shut up so quick,. this is absolutely the best version damn

I like this version, more than the one from the movie... You are awsome Petter

his range is INSANE.

This is the 2nd best extended cover version of Misty Mountains I've ever heard.

Dude.......... WTF lol How do you have such a wide vocal range??? This in a way even more impressive than the rendition with Tim Foust just for the fact that this is all one person's voice... Just WOW

1,724 goblins and orcs disliked

I love the Lord Of The Ring and The Hobbit and this doesn't even sound human it's so good!!!!I love this!!!!The deep parts sent chills down my spine

He sounds so much like Richard Armitage in the first verse, it's incredible!!

I love the care and effort that goes into your videos - both the multiple singing, then the careful editing.

i love this song so much.

could you do one with the original version of this song (the one in the book)?

Just perfect, I almost cried... We want more acappella covers! (Game of Thrones, Lord of The Rings...)

Listening to this with Razer headphones surround sound is without a doubt one of the most beautiful things ive ever heard

you know what would be epic? if you did the full 27 verses

How the **** can ANYONE not LOVE this!?!? Much less 1,133 people!!!! I'm blown away that anyone could dislike this....... And I'm a metalhead! I just love anything that sounds good, and this sounds incredible! Chills every time!

best listened to max volume with headphones on

All these years later, and this is still the most amazing thing I've ever heard from one single human.

Awesome cover I really need some new words to describe Peter Hollen's videos, there's too much of that cool, amazing, epic, wonderful, inspiring stuff and I don't want to use the same words all the time. Someone help me.

At the beginning Peters voice sounds similar to Richard Armitage ^^

You should do a one of these songs, that would be awesome! 1. Glittering Clouds by Imogen Heap 2: May It Be by Enya 3 Roads Go Ever on on and on from the hobbit book yeah that's about it. That would be awesome if I got on here one day and one of those songs is on here. I think I would cry a bit out of joy :)

This is a masterpiece, Your Masterpiece. When I hear the intro I get shivers down my back and my mind runs through the lines of the book when the Adventure began. Your voice is magic 👊😎🤙))

Oh my gosh. This was amazing!!! I'm just mind blown... it was so beautiful, you did a fantastic job with it, and that's saying something because I LOVED this song right away when I got to see the movie in IMAX. So for you to be able to recreate it so flawlessly is really amazing. Thank you SO MUCH for making this song come alive.

Middle Earth has done so much me in my life. I love everything to do with Tolkien and Middle Earth!

Peter you should do this song from the book, with the whole song :3

2700 persons have NO SOUL! God Bless Mr. Hollens!

The only thing that could make this better is if Peter was a dwarf

Wow! Just in love ! With all the copies too :))) haha! Great Job!

I feel like a dwarf now guys

"Uh oh! I'm gonna snake dance!!" "No! Not again-" "Snake dance time!!" 2:20

Truly a beautiful work of art!

This brought a nerdy little tear to my eye. Thank you :)

Well then. That was incredible.

Holy. ****! Wow.

wow... just... wow... you have amazing range, this is beautiful! I've been looking for the long version of this song for ages and this is gorgeous :) definitely gona download this :)

Bro you need to do the full song

To all Lord of the Rings fans! Do we want this movie back in the theaters again? Do we want to feel they joy that we had back then? Do we want the nostalgia back in our souls? Do we want to make more people happy for what we have had back then? If The Titanic will reappear in 3D why not as well The Lord of the Rings? If you love this amazing movie, post it on every LOTR video to announce that this saga is NOT DEAD. IT SHALL NOT KNOW THIS TERM! Who is with me?COME, ON! LETS GET THIS THING ROLLING RIGHT NOW! SPREAD THE WORD! POST THIS EVERYWHERE SO EVERY TOLKIENITE MAY SEE IT! MIDDLE EARTH WILL SEE THEATERS AGAIN, ONE LAST TIME!!

I'm pretty sure that Peter knows and get this told a lot but I have to say it too. That was great like always! May that voice be blessed for the rest of his life.

Howard Wollowitz, is that you?

This song really gives me shivers every time I listen to it, it really is even better than the original!

I absolutely adore your music, what you do is amazing. I hope you never stop posting new videos, your talents will continue to amaze me!!

Got chills with the very first note.

Far over the Misty Mountains cold, To dungeons deep and caverns old, We must away, ere break of day, To seek our pale enchanted gold. The dwarves of yore made mighty spells, While hammers fell like ringing bells, In places deep, where dark things sleep, In hollow halls beneath the fells. For ancient king and elvish lord There many a gleaming golden hoard They shaped and wrought, and light they caught, To hide in gems on hilt of sword. On silver necklaces they strung The flowering stars, on crowns they hung The dragon-fire, on twisted wire They meshed the light of moon and sun. Far over the Misty Mountains cold, To dungeons deep and caverns old, We must away, ere break of day, To claim our long-forgotten gold. Goblets they carved there for themselves, And harps of gold, where no man delves There lay they long, and many a song Was sung unheard by men or elves. The pines were roaring on the heights, The wind was moaning in the night, The fire was red, it flaming spread, The trees like torches blazed with light. The bells were ringing in the dale, And men looked up with faces pale. The dragon's ire, more fierce than fire, Laid low their towers and houses frail. The mountain smoked beneath the moon. The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom. They fled the hall to dying fall Beneath his feet, beneath the moon. Far over the Misty Mountains grim, To dungeons deep and caverns dim, We must away, ere break of day, To win our harps and gold from him! The wind was on the withered heath, But in the forest stirred no leaf: There shadows lay be night or day, And dark things silent crept beneath. The wind came down from mountains cold, And like a tide it roared and rolled. The branches groaned, the forest moaned, And leaves were laid upon the mould. The wind went on from West to East; All movement in the forest ceased. But shrill and harsh across the marsh, Its whistling voices were released. The grasses hissed, their tassels bent, The reeds were rattling--on it went. O'er shaken pool under heavens cool, Where racing clouds were torn and rent. It passed the Lonely Mountain bare, And swept above the dragon's lair: There black and dark lay boulders stark, And flying smoke was in the air. It left the world and took its flight Over the wide seas of the night. The moon set sale upon the gale, And stars were fanned to leaping light. Under the Mountain dark and tall, The King has come unto his hall! His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread, And ever so his foes shall fall! The sword is sharp, the spear is long, The arrow swift, the Gate is strong. The heart is bold that looks on gold; The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong. The dwarves of yore made mighty spells, While hammers fell like ringing bells In places deep, where dark things sleep, In hollow halls beneath the fells. On silver necklaces they strung The light of stars, on crowns they hung The dragon-fire, from twisted wire The melody of harps they wrung. The mountain throne once more is freed! O! Wandering folk, the summons heed! Come haste! Come haste! Across the waste! The king of friend and kin has need. Now call we over the mountains cold, 'Come back unto the caverns old!' Here at the gates the king awaits, His hands are rich with gems and gold. The king has come unto his hall Under the Mountain dark and tall. The Wyrm of Dread is slain and dead, And ever so our foes shall fall! Farewell we call to hearth and hall! Though wind may blow and rain may fall, We must away, ere break of day Far over the wood and mountain tall. To Rivendell, where Elves yet dwell In glades beneath the misty fell. Through moor and waste we ride in haste, And whither then we cannot tell. With foes ahead, behind us dread, Beneath the sky shall be our bed, Until at last our toil be passed, Our journey done, our errand sped. We must away! We must away! We ride before the break of day! This is the Full version, which is even longer than the books version. However Peter uses another version. Regardless its still beautiful.

Thank God for my audio technica headphones... EPIC EARGASM

Yes! I have only recently discovered you and I'm in love! I was hoping to find this song in your collection of amazing videos. You have acquired a new fan!

can't stop coming back here everytime I got reminded of the song, still as good as I remembered
