The fifth song I chose is "Over The Misty Mountains Cold" from The Hobbit, to honor, if tardily, JRR Tolkien's January 3rd birthday. I first read The Hobbit on a long car ride the summer between my 6th & 7th grade years, and read the Lord Of the Rings trilogy every year in junior high, and countless times since. Peter Jackson's films felt like coming home to me, even with the parts he left out. So, it seems fitting to showcase a song from The Hobbit, one of the books that had a large impact on my literary background. Bonus Track: Today, January 5th, is also Clancy Brown's birthday. To me, he will always have a special place in my memory as The Kurgan from The Highlander, which was also one of the first movies I ever owned on VHS. So, it seems fitting to drop a song from Queen.
