MUSIC FOR STEEM WEEK 11 ( @shemzee - MISTY MOUNTAINS)

I sang a cover version of the Misty maountains from the HOBBIT soundtrack.

Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold is a song sung by Thorin II Oakenshield and Company in J.R.R. Tolkien's novel The Hobbit. As Tolkien left no title for the song, "Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold" is sometimes referred to as The Dwarf Song, Thorin's Song, The Song of The Lonely Mountain, or shortened to simply "The Misty Mountains".

The song explains the backstory of Thorin and Company, and foreshadows the adventure to come for the group. It also helps lead to the large development of Bilbo from his often quiet and calm "Baggins" nature, to the more adventurous and outgoing "Tookish" side of his heritage, an evolution that takes most of the novel.

Lyrics:
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

The pines were roaring on the heights
The winds was moaning in the night
The fire was red, it flaming spread
The trees like torches blazed with light

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

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

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
