To all who follow me for my #RingsofPower content, you might not now that my primary passion is the original LotR trilogy: I've analysed every track of the score, including themes, lyrics and translations. Go check them out if you're interested! youtube.com/watch?v=q4xh7aFx…

The way I knew immediately it was I Don't Want It. Probably my favorite guitar solo of all time.
heard an achingly beautiful song on the radio so I looked it up and it was by Ween

I know I didn't really catch the moment to delve deep into this score when it came out, but reading these insights so many months later, I'm still completely enthralled. It's seriously such a milestone of modern television.

I've been thinking about making lyrics videos like last time, but honestly, @e51dc715a5's already got that covered. Check out their stuff if you wanna dive deeper into the lyrics

Today I woke up to 2 different people letting me know my #RingsOfPower theory had been confirmed: the new mystery theme is indeed about "hope"!

Here's the thread, for context: xitter.gq/AMoverus/status/184219…
Now that #RingsOfPower Season 2 has concluded, it's time to once and for all determine what this mystery theme is about.

However, now this tidbit - that some of the listed instances wasn't even intentional - raises a new mystery: which? I'd wager the one in My Name Is Not Halbrand wasn't intended, though it's really similar to the one in The Battle for Eregion Begins, which probably was. Speculate!

I've got my gripes with people taking these Miyazaki quotes out of context too, but it's extremely wishful thinking to believe he wouldn't be just as (if not more) repulsed by generative AI Ghibli filters.
And yet you leave out a full minute of context, showing that Miyazaki was disgusted by a completely different technology made to generate grotesque body horror. From 8 years ago.

Even disregarding the ethics of the Ghibli AI situation, why do they all have that greenish yellow filter? I've watched every Ghibli movie, none of them look like that.
tremendous alpha right now in sending your wife photos of yall converted to studio ghibli anime

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of God of War, I encourage you to watch my love-letter to the music of the original Greek Saga (link below). Learn how Kratos' journey was foretold in the epic music of @GKMarino, @MonarchAudio, Mike Reagan, Ron Fish, @winphillips and Jeff Rona

I really can't overstate how thankful I am to these composers, not just for making such an epic, yet sensitive score, but for sitting down and sharing their thoughts and insights with me to make this video possible. youtube.com/watch?v=mIfeKveW…

My interview with Stephen Gallagher about his score for The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is up on YouTube. We had a lot of fun uncovering its deeper secrets, including a little Istar egg? Link below.

Weird privilege of knowing Swedish Youtubers is getting to participate in a choir being shot at with paintball pellets to produce a symphony of agonizing screams. ...Did I say privilege? youtube.com/watch?v=yFIxf2gT…

I'm happy to say The War of the Rohirrim was great, and the music was a perfect complement to it. I've booked an interview with Stephen Gallagher later this week, which I'll put up on YouTube ASAP. What questions would you like me to ask?

More original music! Subtle Rohan theme hint at 0:20, and then Hera's theme at 0:52. I'm curious if the three notes at 0:40 is a hint at Wulf's theme.
First clip from ‘THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM’ In theaters on December 13.

Well, there IS a scene with Elves dealing out gifts....
I can’t explain it but Lord of the Rings (specifically Fellowship) is a Christmas movie.
