\"Hobbit<\/a> It’s not that long ago that Howard Shore’s OST for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was fully revealed for the first time as a listenable web-stream. Problem was, you couldn’t pick single tracks to listen to, and if you paused it, you had to start all over. Now, Rolling Stone offers the standard edition to listen to in its entirety<\/a> with the ability to select tracks independently<\/i> and the ability to pause<\/i> as well.<\/p>\n

Or if you want to trial the Special Edition, Watchtower Records has short previews<\/a> from every track available on its website.<\/p>\n

In the Rolling Stone article, Neil Finn says that “Song of the Lonely Mountain” builds on a musical theme written for the movie by New Zealand film composers Plan 9 and David Long, which a group of dwarves sing in an early scene. To work on the song, Finn put himself in the dwarves’ shoes.<\/p>\n

“I’d get a little melody and I’d think, \u2018Would a dwarf sing that?’ And you go, ‘No, it’s too floral. It’s not earthy enough,'” he says. “Even though there’s aspects of brotherhood and kinship in the song, I had a line about love and Peter and Fran [Walsh, co-writer and co-producer] sort of looked at me and said, \u2018No, not love. There’s something not quite right about that.’ It’s not a love song.”<\/p>\n
