Born from the Dwarf song at the beginning of the film, Song of the Lonely Mountain conjures fleeting images of the lands of Middle Earth with surging strings, earthy guitar and the stirring percussion that includes the sounds of hammer on anvil, reminiscent of dwarven smiths at their forges. The song's rousing lyrics and strong vocals will make you want to race out of your door without your pocket handkerchief on the heels of Bilbo, Gandalf and the dwarves as they embark on one of the most epic of adventures in fantasy fiction history.

The Hobbit: A Few Crumbs to Tide Us Over
As the clock ticks down the last remaining weeks to the premiere of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, I was thrilled to find that the lead song from the film's soundtrack has been made available to excited fans everywhere. Neil Finn has penned an rousing ballad worthy of the works of JRR Tolkien that is poised to rival the success of Enya's May It Be featured on the Fellowship of the Ring Soundtrack.

Back to Bag End
I tried to hold back and keep myself from posting this. And for the past three odd months, I have succeeded. Last night, however, I went to the cinema and during the "interminable" 15 minutes of pre-feature advertisements, they ran the trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The two-minute teaser brought all the old excitement rushing back. That's when my resolve began to crack and less than 24 hours later, here comes proof of just how much of a geek I am at heart. But I don't really care who knows it. I am counting down the days until the movie comes out. Judging from the buzz from the internet community, it looks like Peter Jackson is poised to have another mega blockbuster on his hands (no pressure Petey).
If you haven't seen the trailer yet (although short of having been on an expedition through the wilderness for the past few months, I can't see how you could've missed it), take a look at the video below. As for those of you who have seen it before, I'm sure you won't object to watching it a second (or two thousand and second) time ;)
