All That Is Gold Does Not Glitter (The Riddle Of Strider) - Irish Folk Cover

Подробнее о видео

At last a song for Aragorn! For this song I used Gandalf's classic poem about Strider as the chorus; which was rather short, so adding Boromir's poem from his dream worked to create a verse as well. Going through Tolkien's original drafts, I used a few of his early versions to flesh out the rest of the song with a bridge ("Not all that have fallen are vanquished") and a bit of alternate text for the ending choruses.

Obviously, the video had to focus on Aragorn, so I went through all 3 extended editions and pulled out every clip of Aragorn! There's so much footage to work with, but I trimmed it down to about 5 minutes in an attempt to show our hero's journey from "Strider" to Aragorn the King. ...and of course to show off all his fight scenes!

Music first recorded by myself on guitar/vocals, then put through SunoAI to create a full band. Then music was stemmed and put in an editor, re-edited and remastered with additional vocals and instruments by myself. Video made using clips from the Lord of the Rings films.

Enjoy!

*Lyrics:*

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost...

Seek for the Sword that was broken:
In Imladris it dwells;
There shall be counsels taken
Stronger than Morgul-spells.
There shall be shown a token
That Doom is near at hand,
For Isildur's Bane shall waken,
And the Halfling forth shall stand!

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost!
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost!

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring!
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king!

Not all that have fallen are vanquished!
Not only the crowned is a king!
Let blade that was broken be brandished!
And fire be the doom of the Ring!

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost!
All that is old does not wither,
And bright may be fire in the frost!

(oh!)

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost!
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost!

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring!
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king!
(The crownless again shall be king!)

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are...lost!
