Lux Aeterna By Clint Mansell

[Shaynard]

I fight with myself all the time trying to decide which instrumental piece of music leaves me feeling better about everything. A piece that takes me through all emotions and leaves me feeling ... comfort. Comfort within myself and my world. This is it.

Same basic song done with an electronic twist. I like it.

Very cool "twist".. Gotta love electronica remixes.

Here's an interesting version.. I had to teach myself this, with a few variations.

Just some quick info that song is actually called Summer Overture from Requiem for a Dream Sountrack.

There are actually two versions though you have the original or what has been called Requiem for a Tower back from when this song was used for the LotR: Two Towers movie trailer.

All in all I love this song as well in all its forms!

I can't pick just one, brah! Almost everything I listen to is instrumental.

But I'll peep out this here track of yours. Indubitably!

[Zukan]

Haha I really hate this song, not that it's bad in a musical sense or anything but it's so extremely overused. It's like anyone that ever used windows movie maker just HAD to add that song to their footage, even if it's just them filming their cat or whatever.

Here is the full song listing for the soundtrack of the film.. I bolded the two titles. Listen to "Summer Overture" then listen to "Lux Aeterna". The song was re-recorded for the LotR trailers is not the original version from the film. I believe the version I posted is actually the lotR version

""The soundtrack has been widely praised, and in particular, the track "Lux Aeterna" (which itself is much used in the film) has subsequently been used in various forms of media. The theme was reorchestrated for The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers trailer[1] and is known by the name "Requiem for a Tower". The theme has been displayed in trailers for other films, including the The Da Vinci Code, Zathura, 300, Sunshine and Valley of Flowers. It also appeared in the television show Lost, the video game Assassin's Creed, NASCAR promotions, PGA tour coverage, and a special edition of the BBC program Top Gear. Use of the theme extended to the point where it is interchangeable with the name "Requiem for a Dream"."""

I saw Requiem at the Toronto Film festival before it was ever released.. and have loved the song since then.. before it was so over used. It is over used because it is good. lol
