The voice of the women is just like the first light of sun, which hits into your face when you just get out of the dwarf dungeon. Impressive arrangement! Gut gemacht!

Hmmm The Dwarves' version is sad and speaks of the glories that had been lost. This seems like the human version. It speaks of the glory and riches one can find if they are brave enough to venture into the Misty Mountains.

Came back again after six years and still got goosebumps. Amazing guys!!

Jonathan Young: When the dwarves sing This: When the elves sing

I somehow imagine the men as dwarves and the women as the elves, both singing a song from ancient times while they rejoice after the battle...

Lyrics: Far over the misty mountains cold, to dungeons deep and caverns old. The pines were roaring on the height, the winds were mourning in the night. The fire was red, it flaming spread. The trees like torches blazed with light. 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. The sword is sharp, the spear is long. The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong. Far over the wooden mountain tall, the wind may blow and rain may fall.

Big hobbit and Lord of the rings fan. I know all riddles of Bilbo and gollum.. know all songs from the animated movies...and I love this version too....awesome job! The men and the ladies voices are beautiful. Love the accompanying music too

Both versions are nice. The original one sounds more mystic, the female addition in this one makes it sound like an epic.

That's epic. That's incredibly epic.

I don't know what the hate was for I think this is an extremely good cover, the Women's voices add something special to it making it different to the rest, it sounded very professional and I loved it.

Gosh! Something about their rendition of this song gives me goosebumps.....

2:20 oh shit, she stopped him from touching the floor Thank god

Why is everyone hating so much? They sang it straight from the book, and it was a cover. It's not meant to sound like the original. I think this sounded lovely.

This is an amazing recreation of the song, the beautiful ladies gave this song so much more character, bravo ladies and gent bravo yall did this song stunning justice!!! ❤

Wonderful! Gave me chills. I really enjoyed hearing both female and male voices. I am hard-core, long-time LOTR and Hobbit fan. I have ALL the DVDs, all the cds, books and other reference material. J.R R. Tokien was brilliant.

I am a major Lord of the Rings, Hobbit fan of the novels first. I listened to this first before watching the video, unlike most of the men I assume making negative comments. I found it a lovely interpretation. When you listen only you let the voices take you places like you would when you read the book.

*Folks, You just can't hate those wonderful vocals of these Ladies. Absolutely breathtaking. Just imagine This Is The version When Dwarfs honor the The King after his Death.*

This is seriously cool, I love Acapella covers! This one is just as good!

Was tabbed out and the ladies' part started... the males go from smoldering revenge, the women to a haunting, mournful wail! After another.... 30 time hearing this song... there are 4 bone-chilling chord changes in some longer sustained areas......... LOVE IT.

I really like the female addition of voices... Gosto de produções muito bem feitas como esta, ficou muito bom. Mesmo !

I've been hearing Str8voices version of that song since the movie. Just think it's fantastic. Now that I read the comments, can help but feel said for some people. Actually, the sadest thing is that Str8voices channel has only few songs. I wish I could have more of them.

The ladies coming in at 0:10 makes it beautiful.

No problem with female voices, nice harmonies. What wrecks it for me is the march-disco percussion track which completely changes the rhythm of the movie original

Wow 3,000 and some people have no appreciation for the arts! This is AMAZING; the singing and all. I love this video.

It is amazing how many people don't understand what an opinion is. It is also amazing how many people feel the need to state their opinions as fact.

Suddenly remembered this, had to come visit. This is so beautiful, actually shed a tear

For once the alto and bass have the melody

Oh wowww... I get the chills with this song! The voices are just fenomenal.

I love this take on the song. Its well done and well presented, and while it may not be exactly like the original, it is beautiful on its own and worth listening to.

I literally got goosebumps while watching this

so "old" but still giving goosebumps .. what kind of perfection !

Everytime I watch this I fell so much! Never can explain it. I just know my day goes better. Thank you. Life is short and anything you have to make it better is a plus!

It feels like a positive reprise i love it. It made me think "ah to live to tell the story after the victory"

so freakishly awesome .........

Best cover of this song ever...

Love how they finished the song and the odd ending with the drop. Very unique.

This is as amazing as the first time I heard it. I cannot understand how people can't see how fitting the women voices are. This is an awesome cover! :)

*looks at comments* yeah, you should scroll back up. P.S, the women are doing a fine job. if anything, I think it sounds pretty epic with their addition

I CANNOT STOP WATCHING IT!!!!! It is so beautiful!

Gorgeous harmonies! Just beautiful.

Really enjoyed this version of a song that I love. The blends of higher ranges are a welcome addition that change the feeling of the song for me completely. I loved the empty sorrow of the original’s poignance and that has an emotional place for me to listen to. This version has a kind of hope added to it, making it feel more heroic or giving a feel of overcoming a great hardship or burden which also definitely has an emotional place for me to listen too. I hope the creators are looking at the upvotes, balanced responses and number of views rather than some of the comments. If you want to hear the original then that's what the original version is there for. I personally don't get it when songs are covered to be identical to the original and prefer to hear a different spin on an idea which Str8voices have certainly done.

Absoloutly mind blowing. I had goosebumps through out the whole song. Thank you.

I love this song. It's pretty in every way. I should say it's rather glorious! I play the violin and it makes your heart rumble. Great song! Thank you for sharing. Peace, Spenta

Just AWESOME! I got chills! Especially with the women's voices!!!

My only problem with this video is that they should have actually placed a ring on the floor.

I really love that cover. I also love the idea of women dwarves singing together with their husbands before they leave for the fight. (Just my thoughts about the female voices)

my heart...cant handle this...its melting at the beauty of this masterpiece...

The resolution at the end is absolutely breathtaking. Makes it my favorite version of the song.

I love the last note. No one else drops down to a low D (I believe) and ends on the major.

waaaaahh.. goosebumps >__< REALLY LOVE IT!!

THIS. IS. AWESOME. Don't listen to people who say otherwise. I thought putting the women in there was AMAZING. It gives me the chills.

Wow!!!!!!!! Goosebumps everywhere!!

A vocalist can not possibly express him/her self without moving his head according to the song's feelings.So the men here don't have to much tense on their vocals as the women; thats the reason why women (on this song) must move their heads, and in order to make that happen without disturbing the viewer, they tend to do it with their own, charming , way. In my opinion of course

regardless of whether you like this rendition or not there are elements in the Harmonies that resonate with the addition of the female vocals, as for the male element of this there is no greater example than the last phrase between 2:26-2:41, gave me chills.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful

absolutely beautiful

I actually like this. It puts a twist to the song. hey, this song is not completely ruined.

BEST COVER EVER! You guys and gals did EXCELLENT job! Couldn't love the girls' part more! I'm literally enchanted and fascinated every time I hear it - and mind my words, I listen to it A LOT! Don't bother caring about the asshats who say the ladies ruined the song - they actually IMPROVED it. Keep up the good work! Love it!

For me the best interpretation of this song

pfff, that last note... awesome!

this is just AWESOME!

I actually liked the girls voices in the background until :53 seconds. Everything after that was a little too much for me for this song.

I love this rendition. I wish I could give it 25 thumbs up! The all male version is great, but these ladies take it to the next level.

Magic,absolutely beautiful

This is a bad ass cover. You guys are awesome!

I thought that this was a fantastic cover, even if the women's part was unusual. I still loved every bit of it.

I'm speechless. Just simply AMAZING. Beautiful.

Whew, the chills were plentiful in listening to this. Great job!

… god, I came here to listen to a great cover, and 80% of the comments are men crying about soprano women singing the chorus.

Thank you all so much for your support! Here is our new Song for the Star Wars Movie. Hope you enjoy it! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f6mcibho1pyac6c.html

So pretty!!!! love this song..

This is by far the best cover I can find on yt. I love the addition and how it's sung.

Personally i like the female addition of voices...People forget that there were lady dwarfs too, and I'm pretty sure they weren't all bases.

love this song so much , two thumbs up you gave justice to the song i love especialy when it is sang low like thorin oakenshield the one who sang it in the movie , love this song two thumbs up . :)

was ihr mit diesem Song gemacht habt ist einfach magisch, danke

best version of all.

I like this... its different but it is still alright.

It's hard to watch when all of the women were just so god damn into themselves. But whatever, it's a great cover

I've listened to a bunch of other songs they did....This is by far the best one!

Loved the girls singing, beautiful!

Uggghh 2:36-2:37 hit deep down into my soul 😍

The very last verse at 2:34 "..and rain may fall" has a tremendous vibrato effect in the word "fall". Wondering if that is an unaided (electronically) human voice creating that stunning effect?

Wonderful absolutely wonderful !!!

I can totally picture male and female dwarves singing this together and I am loving it so much oh my god

good job keep it up guys

wow, its different but amazing

i like how they took an amazing song and spiced it up you all have beauiful voices

Wooooow. Das ist das beste Lied zum besten Film!

this is man's song

They sung well, but this song to me feels better with an extremely low male voice sung softly

Beautiful.

simply fantastic!

Not straight up saying that the female voices shouldn't have been added, but it changed the tone a lot. At the very least, they added more flourish than I would've liked. Ultimately it's a somber song about a terrible tragedy in their past. That's why the male-only arrangement is better for so many people. With all low voices singing in slow chant, it really brings out that feeling. Adding alto/soprano voices fills out the harmonies really nicely but in this particular version, it makes it more brilliant and intense than somber, and when they add the ornamentation (it's not much, granted) it further takes away from that original aesthetic. Could've been amazing if they had made some different stylistic choices.

SPOILER ALERT: It sounds like a triumphant reprise, such as would be sung by men and elves at Thorin's funeral after Smaug is dead and Erebor is once again in Dwarvish hands.

It really should not matter if it's a woman or man singing! All that matters, is that it's amazing, awesome and magnificent

Soooo Beautiful

aaaaaah! beautiful TnT

Far over the Misty Mountains cold, To dungeons deep and caverns old, 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.

That was metal, how dudes voice just dropped at the end. Very nice how much.
