We embark on a melodious expedition, comparing and contrasting three iconic songs from "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" with their literary counterparts. These songs, "Blunt the Knives," "Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold," and "Song of the Lonely Mountain," serve as the lyrical threads that weave together the narrative fabric of Tolkien's beloved tale. They are not merely tunes but portals to the very soul of this legendary world. So, let the melodies carry you away as we explore the harmony between the written word and the silver screen, and discover how these songs remain faithful to the spirit of Tolkien's work.
