She has a beautiful voice indeed

You have a beautiful voice, just beautiful.

Thanks ^_^ <3

damn girly!!! you have an amazing voice!!! IT!!!

Thank you very much <3 <3 <3

You should sing together in duet with Enya

Oh fuck dude. Bravo.

Oh wow. This is gorgeous in every sense of the world. An amazing cover, accentuated by a beautiful vocalist. Exceptionally well done.

......

Damn...soulful :3

Merinawish sounds very good for that part of the vocal, good job to your music skills and her singing skills

wow it sounds awesome :D

I missed ustream this time >.<

Hon, you've outdone yourself. You and Merina on this, it's overwhelmingly beautiful. Brought me to tears listening, even more than the original. Thank you, Fox, for sharing this with us all. If you have any other pieces, including covers, with your work and Merina singing, I look truly forward to hearing them.

With awe and love,
Mika

Even more magical and emotional than the original... I'm astonished.

I agree.


I actually started crying.

it was ever so serene played with the music. she sang well enough, as not many can copy Enya's voice style
and that is not critic, that is but a honest opinion and no offensive nature what so ever. great cooperation..

She is emphatically not Enya...

...but her voice works beautifully for this song.

Well done!

:) Hey Hey.
I'm glad you enjoyed listening to it. No-one can beat Enya though ;D

Amazing!
*faints*

it's precious

Wow, such a beautiful voice... *finds no Words*

Wow, that's gorgeous, Fox! And yes,  Merinawish did an incredible job. Lord of the Rings is one of my absolute favorite movie trilogies. THANK YOU!

This is ...

Words fail me.
Listens again.
Closes eyes and lets mind go.

it's very nice indeed, well done to you both. as a LOTR aficionado I appriciate this on many levels.

The music I hear from you never seizes to amaze me! ^^

I dont think any words could possibly compare to the emotion this song gives, nor how beautiful it is.
Amazing job, and well done.
*scampers off to watch her as well*

You confirmed my love for you with this. Is a beautyful version, i always have wonderful and touchis feelings when i listen to it. Very awesome.

Holy moly, this is amazing. I actually like this better than the original. Seems more emotional and deep.

Absolutely Amazing job. She does an excellent job on the vocals you your work on the music is beyond top notch. Bravo!

I can't believe you two made this


but then again i kinda can. this is the most beautiful piece I've ever heard EVER

very lovely as always^^ oh yeah I finally started working on that gift art for ya i promised :p

Oh my god this is beautiful, i can't think of any word to describe how beautiful this is, she has a amazing voice ^_^

I sure wish I could have been there when you recorded this!!!!!!!!!!

Mpfh, There you touched something you'd probably should not have...

Sorry in my oppinion it's acceptable but way below what I'm used to of two artists as excellent as you two...

I personally think this is one of the better covers I've done, especially with Merina's help. But thanks for being honest with your opinion bro :3

Where would be the "profit" in writing comments if you can't even say your honest oppinion XD

Hey Fox =) :P You up for another collab?

Hello ProudOne,
I think what you might wonder about is the basic backingtrack seeing as Fox does a lot more complicated stuff usually, and my not always perfect voice.
Perhaps you´re also used to the way M-One mixes my vocals, and here it's very different, as Fox did it.
Also you could think, because Enya has a crystal clear voice, that it's hard to meet up those standarts, and I absolutely agree with that.
But overall I'm pretty satisfied with what was done, and I hope to do more :)
As you can hear I'm not that good with taking long breaths and with the higher notes I kind of have difficulties, and it's very hard to record those in a decent way as well.
But thank you for the honest comment, and perhaps you'll like a next collaboration better.
It's been great working together with Fox so I hope to do more of that =)

First off, you have a great, astounding Voice. you just have to find songs which it works in better.
About the mixing, that might be true.
And enya's voice cannot be matched, that's true; it's what i meant with "There you touched something you'd probably should not have... "

Ghehe, I'm glad you still think so though I think I could have done better in this.
XD And I'm glad you agree on the things I've said XD And now I've got nothing to say. But yeah just thought I would let you know.

Brilliant.

She does Enya credit! Lovely job.

XD I wouldn't say I do Enya credit. Enya has a crystal clear voice and no-one can beat that, haha.
But thank you <3

it's so wonderful, the voice, the music ... when i hear this i see an wide open field with birds flying over a field of flowers. its like in a dream.

I like it. It's really nice. Voice truely sweet :)

Thank you!

Your Welcome ^^,

I love this song! It is really beautiful.

I love Celtic, and I love LOTR- this is hauntingly beautiful! Well done!

great work you two! I hope you two team up for more pieces soon

Wow you both did a wonderful job on this! and  merinawish has such a wonderful voice! fits the song so well

That's really good stuff.

That wasn't bad, but... it felt restrained. Merina could have practiced the song a bit more, not that she was singing badly, but she didn't seem to project her voice and sounded kinda reserved. I think I'm with P1 on this; I've heard better from both of you.

Hello Mookie,
As you might know I'm very used to working together with M-One so this was very different for me.
I don't think I sang this perfectly, as I didn't, and I'm a picky person when it comes to that.
It's very hard for me to take long breaths and to do the higher notes, and to record that in a nice way is perhaps even harder.
For the next time I hope to do perhaps a lower song together with Fox, I think that would turn out better.
Thank you for the honest comment =)

I think if you tried another few takes, you'd have nailed it.

I'm a harsh taskmaster in the studio. :[

You. Are. God. Both of you. I thought I was watching the movie for a moment. I do agree with and to an extent, but I still think this is one of the best pieces you've ever done, and I'm gonna go check out Merina's page now!

I can't not lie... this is 1 of the best music that u did fox and Merina did a great job on the singing!!

:) Hey Hey, thank you very much <3

Np ^_^ ur a very good singer. it great u did this music with fox

awesome cover of this song ^^ I love LOTR and Enya ^^

love it man she has a sweet voice too great job to both of you.
she could posibly heal hearts with this song its nice.

Dammit, FA still doesn't have a "Fav Repeatedly" button.
Beautiful piece and wonderfully executed.

Wow, I'm very impressed. You two make a great duet.

<3 Yay Celtic <3 I know this song. >.>

Omg gorgeous voice and instrumentals. You two make a great team.

Excellent work, both of you. Insta-fav.

This is quite a nice rendition. An interesting thing I noticed was the additional female vocals used in the refrain (in the Elvish language, I should add. XP). Overall, I like how it still gives this ethereal, "new age" feel like the original recording featuring Enya (even though this rendition sounded a bit reserved, IMO). Great teamwork on this, I should say.

Whoa, whoa, whooooa.

Dang, Merina can sing. And the instrumental part is excellent, as always. C:

<3 Thanks Miglia <3

wooooowww i almost fell asleep cuz it flowed so well. that was awsum... i luv lotr lol

Nothing to add that others haven't praised. Would love to see you do more LoTR music, maybe an instrumental one next time? FAV

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

WOW!! awesome talent

GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAT!!!
Realy amazing!! =D

As I listened to this, I could feel shivers running up and down my spine (in a good way, of course).  merinawish's voice is absolutely gorgeous btw. :3

Undoubtedly one of, if not the best cover you've ever done. Bravo <3

Wow so pretty.. she almost sounds like Enya ^^ So pretty <3

Thats Great! Wouldn't expect anything less from you two! Great job!!

:) Hey, thanks a lot for checking it out Orleans =) <3

Wow, very lovely. She is a very good singer, highly enjoyable piece of calm music =D

Hey Hey :) thank you very much for the compliment ^^

wow. damn. I love love love this song from the original soundtrack! So awesome to hear this again. :)

*smiles and just hugs him....

V.

What an amazing voice you have. Very well sung. Fox, as always, very well arranged and put together, I love how you've mixed the vocals in. Very well done, the mix is pretty much perfect.

I can't fault this. Faved.


And a last note on the vocals... this could make me cry it's so beautifully sung.

OMG one of the best pieces from LOTR's soundtrack! MASSIVE kudos to that voice!

Enya also has been trained and watched and fawned over for her voice because she is that good. I like people to explore what they can or cannot do in the realm of artistic and musical muse. I know of Fox Amoore's music when I stumbled into it, what is it now, two or three years now, maybe more? His music will always be a delight to hear. For Merinawish, I have never heard her sing but I think she sung this song wonderfully. I agree it was a bit reserved but as playing an instrument that requires a lot of breathe control, sometimes it is hard to get that decent breathe in to sing it properly.

Great job for the both of you. Continue to explore you muse and you'll be better for it. :D

now that I relisten to this her voice is beautiful... ;.=.; she is up there with Enya... soo.. oi..*wipes tears from his eyes*

I just love how she's used a lot of legato, and it's not always that easy to do so in a piece like this. It's also really wonderful to hear that we have some awesome vocalists on FA. :D

Yeah, thats what makes it so difficult as well. It *sounds* easy, but the breath control and phrasing, because it's so delicate, is really quite tricky. I don't think everyone realises that.

Very awesome. MerinaWish may not be Enya's match, but she comes damn close!

:) Hey, thank you very much!

Perfect.

Wow pure melody glee to my ears. Coming from a vocalist I send the singer AND composer A

WOW your voice brings tears to my eyes with its beautifulness thank you very much thank you

you to Foxamoore

Eeee. Please don't cry! XD

EXCELLENT job! Superbly done. Both you and MerinaWish performed wonderfully. Thank you for sharing it. :)

Hey Hey :) Thank you ^_^

Very beautiful!~

First and foremost, from a fellow trained vocalist, to  merinawish I send an astounding BRAVO! Brought tears to my eyes. I would love to see you tackle more Enya in the future, you seem to have the depth for it. And that's..... really saying something.

And to  foramoore I can do nothing but bow politely. Your cover was beautiful. I would love to see you do a rendition of "Edge of Night". (All Shall Fade). Youhave superb talent. I sincerely wish I could have caught the Ustream. Blessings to you both, and thank you for posting this.

^___^ I'm glad you think it's good. (Hehe, though I think it could have been better, but we'll see what happens next time)
Me and fox are planning another song so I think you'll definitely get to hear more ^_^

<3

J'adoore your work =')

Fox, I do hope you pass this along to Merina as well.

Stunning work... both of you. Truely marvelous. Some may have gotten the idea that this was meant to replace Enya's version. As noted, nothing can and probably ever will. What the two of you have done here is a wonderful tribute to a spectacular film and to a spectacular voice.

Merina, I loved the addition "depth" of the sound of your voice. It is a wonderful pairing of a great vocalist with a great musician. I am a sucker for well placed reverb, echo and delay. Music played in a great hall sounds like nothing else... BRAVO to you both! }:=)

Congrats Merina

Wow..this is truely truely amazing, this is one of my favorite songs from lord of the rings, and merina you have a beautiful voice ^-^
hehe you should try gollums song that would be awesome!

=D thanks <3

your very welcome :3

To much awsm to describe.

I've always loved that piece, so beautifully done. Your remake is interesting, nice take on it :)

Foxamoore.. The beauty of this piece is awe-inspiring. The vocals are absolutely gorgeous, and in soft growing crescendos they bring the tranquility of the work rolling onwards.

You truly managed to create a melody that inspires peace and comfort.


It is a pleasure to have the chance to listen to work like this.

-Ty

What else to say? Yo da man! Merina's da girl! ;)

Swell job you two!

XD Funniest comment ever XD
Thank you for commenting xD

beautifull work!! The voice is simply amazing!

:) Thank you syrus-wolfe :)
maybe you'd be interested in listening
www.myspace.com/musicmerina

thank you so much! i'm really enjoying listening your music *hugs*

I have to say I've read a lot of comments about how crystal clear Enya's voice is and I agree but I think the more mellow, soft tones uses better compliment the message that is trying to be portrayed here. Comparing the two versions yes Enya's is more clear and more "professional" in that it was originally her song, but I think that the meaning she was trying to get across, which has always been that of peace, hope, happiness and serenity in my opinion was better captured by the softer edge. On top of that it was a theme song specifically for the Lord of the Rings movie, and the softer tones sound more elven than the crystal clear version. At least in my experience with Elves and whatnot the sharper sound to music was always attributed to other races, with the Elven music being ethereal, light, and flowing. Especially for this type of Elf. I can see Arwen more at home with a harp than a pipe, but keep in mind this is just one musician's opinion.

My god, so beautiful! Especially Merina's voice!

That was really great. Ok, sure it wasn't "perfect" but then again nothing is. I think that Marina did a superb of singing considering she's not "a professional" as far as I know.

Just...wow, merina has such a gorgeous voice, even I try to sing this song to myself and can't get the tune right, this sounds almost just as good as the original version! Wow, more inspirational pieces bouncing around in my head right now!

Beautiful work for a beautiful song, well done to the both of you! Merina if you're reading this, get yourself on American Idol!

Hey jezzabelle :) Thanks very much for the comment ^^ I'm glad you thought it was that good.
Hehe, american idol wouldn't work out for me, I'm dutch =D But thanks once again <3

Well...Dutch Idol then? Or come to the UK and ordition for X Factor or Pop Idol xD.

Heehee, I think there are much better singers out there =) XD

Shut it, wake up and smell the music notes, you're awesome! XD

XD No no no, could be much better xD

I know these comments are 2 years old, but Jezz is SO right. Your talent FAR excels most of the stuff you'll see on shows like the Xfactor. I think you'd make the judges jaws drop harder than they did with Susan Boyle. :P

THIS IS EPIC!!! VOCAL IS AWESOME!!! HOLY CRAP!!!

This is so haunting and beautiful that it nearly made me cry. Seriously wonderful voice Merina.

<3 Thank you

Just beautiful...amazing voice Merina

=) Thanks

Now this song was great. I wish it was available on Myspace.
D:

^_^
U
Great job! Amazing voice MerinaWish. And great job Foxamoore on the music!

Thank you muchly :D Glad you liked my voice
www.myspace.com/musicmerina if you want to hear some more :)

the voice i same as the original voice very good

Both of you did amazingly well. Actually it's moving me to tears. Wonderful voice, simply wonderful.

*cannot say anything else anymore and falls silent*

:) hey, thank you very much. So glad you liked my voice.
^_^

Oh, yes I do, I like it, admire it - and envy you a bit, as my own will never reach your level (anymore due to a wrong hormone treatment I once got :/).

It's always great to listen to such a voice :)

Bravo!

This slipped by me completely, I've only just noticed it exists. Excellent vocals in the song particularly, it's a very enjoyable rendition of it (and I'm a real fan of the original song too). I love it when music of this calibre emerges from unexpected sources.

Hey :) I'm glad you thought the vocals were good. We're planning something new, so be sure to check Fox's page in hopefully the near future. ;D

Ugh this is my most favorite song in the world. Merina, you have a beautifull voice and both of you did an amazing job on this song. Thank you so much for sharing it.

<3 Thank you for taking the time to listen to it :)

Just wow... MerinaWish is truly amazing in this song. Like just amazing! Amazing job for both you and Foxamoore for this truly amazing song/cover!

:) Hey thank you very much ^^
Fox and I are planning something new so be sure to keep on checking his page :)
Glad you liked it that much.

This is one of my favorite songs from the LOTR films, and just one of my favorite songs in general, and you good sir, have done a fine job with it ^^

Very nice I really like this one. When I was about 6 years old, my mother read out The Lord Of The Rings to my sister and me. We didn't bother with children books, instead we went straight on to adult literature. The Lord Of The Rings influenced me a lot, it stayed my favourite book until I was grown up. When the movies were released, it was a bit as if a childhood dream was coming true, like something happened that I was waiting for since I was a kid. Later on I discovered that J.R.R. Tolkien was one of my godfather's best friends and I'm still sorry that I never had the chance to learn about him, because my godfather died last year.

Oh, I'm a big fan of this song, and this was pretty darn good, if just a little slower than I'm used to hearing it :P

Hmm...I must say I like this a lot. It is a little slower than I'm used to hearing but it's great all the same. MerinaWish's tone is just right for this song and she did a lovely job. Very good job.

Thank you ! <3

I can't tell that it's an amateur production. That's a very large compliment to you both, by the way. :)

Hehhehe, I think my vocals could have been better.
It's hard recording in a living room as well.
:)
But thanks =)

this is awesome!! almost as good as enya ^^

She has a beautiful voice

<3 Hey, thank you!

That was amazing. The higher pitched sections in the song were sung absolutely brilliantly

Aww thank you =)

That's just amazing! I REALLY love it! :)

Did you ever send this version to Enya, Roma or Howard Shore? I am totally sure, they would like it ;D

Of all your great works, this is definitely one of my favourites. Though I do prefer the original, this is an amazing piece of music, and such a lovely voice. You two should do more together . Bravo!

(No doubt, the original is better ;D. But yes we are planning to do more works together :) And I can't wait )

it's a really great voice....she has got talent....a lot of talent (excuse my poor english)

Hey Shaddar, thank you so much :) And don't worry your english is not that bad :)
Where are you from?

i'm from Spain......exactly i'm from the same land that comes from Don Quixote: La-Mancha

Spain, that's cool. How are things in Spain?
I'm from The Netherlands. The land of.. wooden shoes XDDDD

things in spain.....are good ^^. I'm happy to live in spain

Breathtaking as ever to the both of you ^^

<3 ;D Thank you

Your quite welcome ^^

Breath taking

This is absolutely stunning! If I didn't know this was someone else, I would swear this was a concert version of the song performed by Enya herself! Bravo!

What I mean to say is you sound almost exactly like Enya! ^_^

Thank you very much ! <3 That's very sweet of you.

*falls over in delight* Wow she sings so much like an angel. Enya would be proud of her.

Thank you so much ;D That's the best compliment ever.
I'm sorry I didn't check your comment sooner, I don't go here that often anymore.
If you like you can check out www.myspace.com/musicmerina though <3

I played May It Be for my school orchestra once. What a beautiful song. I love this version :3

Absolutely Amazing

has a beautiful, soothing voice.

Kudos to both of you, for giving us this grand cover of an already grand song.

Foxamoore, this is definitely one of your best compositions, no lie!!! has such a beautiful voice!

Thank you for the compliment!

You're more than welcome!!

All I can say to the both of you especially MerinaWish is:

Wow!

When Enya sings it her voice makes you drift away into the world the song is about.

MerinaWish did a very rare thing and that is she made me drift away into the world the song is about.

I'm completely blown away by how beautiful a singing voice MerinaWish has.

Faved!

Thank you very much :) I'm glad you thought so.
If you want to hear some more you can go to www.myspace.com/musicmerina

Simply stunning.

what a beautiful voice! I just sat there rested my head and closed my eyes, and just imagined myself just somewhre i really wanted to be, its been a while since i didnt something like that, thanks so much for uploading it really made my day, best combination, someone with a stunning voice and the best composer of all time :3 thank you ^^

I'd be even more interested if you did some songs from the cartoon movie the Hobbit by Warner Bros.

You are great to work out

This made my heart flutter. Voice of an angel!

This is so very beautiful I can't even put it into words

this is absolutely astonishing wow
