I will never understand how this didn’t even get at least nominated for Best Original Song at the Oscars.

"Sheeran saw the film, wrote the song, and recorded most of it on the same day." Fuck me. The guy is just incredible.

I remember sitting in the cinema at the end of hobbit everyone walking out, me just sitting there enjoying the song!

My dad and I saw THE HOBBIT in the theater. He was never one for these types of movies, but he came anyway. I remember this song at the end during credits. It was beautiful. My dad passed away in 2017. I will always cherish the memory I had with him that day.

11 620 dislikes by orcs,trolls and goblins.

i can hear this song 1000 times .. its still one of the best i've ever heard xD

Ten years later and I'm still in love with this song.

"O misty eye of the mountain below" and "If this is to end in fire" gave me goosebumps

This is my Son's favorite song. He loves Ed Sheeran's voice. He is 24, with severe Autism, Nonverbal. He watches this song on repeat. I would love to take him to see him one day. I know he would love it. I think he finds Ed's voice very peaceful and calming. When he has a bad day, we listen to Ed Sheeran. Thanks for sharing. Be blessed.🌹

This is DEFINITELY one of Ed Sheeran's most underrated songs.

You know it's good when it gives you chills right away.

The way this song hits at the ending of the hobbit 2........just no words to describe it

I don't know about anyone else but... for me, this is one of the best songs ever written for a movie track. Every lyric is about the movie and so captured the mood while still leaving you wondering about the next movie. Just fantastic and easily one of my favorites. Last time I was this moved by a song so perfect for a movie was Queen and The Highlander movie.

I don't know why some of you are complaining about it, I bet even Tolkien himself would like this song. It fits the movie perfectly!

The goosebumps I felt in 2014 is still the same in the year 2022. Fell in love with Ed Sheeran first with this song. I just can't imagine it has been 8 years already since he first released this song. I'm enjoying this so much!!!

10 years later and i still absolutely love that little riff hes playing around with at the beginning

It's actually stupid how talented this dude is.

Ed Sheeran makes a good Hobbit

Anyone that still listen to this masterpiece?

March 2021 and still going strong. Who else its in love with this.

Oh, misty eye of the Mountain below Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke Keep watching over Durin's sons If this is to end in fire, then we should all burn together Watch the flames climb high, into the night Calling out father, oh, stand by and we will Watch the flames burn auburn on, the mountain side (High) And if we should die tonight, we should all die together Raise a glass of wine, for the last time Calling out father, oh, prepare as we will Watch the flames burn on and on, the mountainside Desolation comes upon the sky Now I see fire, inside the mountain I see fire, burning the trees And I see fire, hollowing souls I see fire, blood in the breeze And I'll hope that you'll remember me Oh, should my people fall then, surely I'll do the same Confined in mountain halls, we got too close to the flame Calling out father, oh, hold fast and we will Watch the flames burn auburn on, the mountain side Desolation comes upon the sky Now I see fire, inside the mountain I see fire, burning the trees And I see fire, hollowing souls I see fire, blood in the breeze And I'll hope that you'll remember me And if the night is burning, I will cover my eyes For if the dark returns, then my brothers will die And as the sky is falling down, it crashed into this lonely town and with that shadow upon the ground, I hear my people screaming out (Now) Now I see fire, inside the mountain I see fire, burning the trees And I see fire, hollowing souls I see fire, blood in the breeze I see fire (oh you know I saw a city burning out) And I see fire (feel the heat upon my skin, yeah) And I see fire (fire) And I see fire burn auburn on, the mountain side

Ed sheeran is a fucking genius. He wrote this song by watching one of the scenes in the movie and within a week he had the full song written on his hands. Literally a LEGEND.

‘the hobbit’ trilogy is one of my comfort movie series. it was wonderfully done and has gotten me through a tough time right now. And i listen to this so on repeat for at least and hour at least once a week. this song perfectly explains how much the dwarves are willing to risk to take back their home.

Dang....as soon as he starts singing it's like a radio coming out of his mouth. What a great, awesome song.

that monent when the movie ends and the song plays

Lyrics Oh, misty eye of the mountain below Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke Keep watching over Durin's sons If this is to end in fire Then we should all burn together Watch the flames climb high into the night Calling out father oh Stand by and we will Watch the flames burn auburn on The mountain side And if we should die tonight Then we should all die together Raise a glass of wine for the last time Calling out father oh Prepare as we will Watch the flames burn auburn on The mountain side Desolation comes upon the sky Now I see fire Inside the mountain I see fire Burning the trees And I see fire Hollowing souls I see fire Blood in the breeze And I hope that you remember me Oh, should my people fall Then surely I'll do the same Confined in mountain halls We got too close to the flame Calling out father oh Hold fast and we will Watch the flames burn auburn on The mountain side Desolation comes upon the sky Now I see fire Inside the mountain I see fire Burning the trees I see fire Hollowing souls I see fire Blood in the breeze And I hope that you remember me And if the night is burning I will cover my eyes For if the dark returns Then my brothers will die And as the sky is falling down It crashed into this lonely town And with that shadow upon the ground I hear my people screaming out Now I see fire Inside the mountains I see fire Burning the trees I see fire Hollowing souls I see fire Blood in the breeze I see fire (oh you know I saw a city burning out) (fire) And I see fire (feel the heat upon my skin, yeah) (fire) And I see fire (uh-uh-uh-uh) (fire) And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side Written by Ed Sheeran • Copyright © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Universal Music Publishing Group

Happy 10th anniversary to The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

Everytime I listen to this I’m instantly transported to Middle Earth and immersed in the struggles and triumphs of one of the most fantastical magical journeys ever undertaken by any band of brothers real or imaginary and this is to me a truly special experience. Thank you Ed & all your collaborators on this epic rendition.

That crescendo though

I'm a metalhead, and generally not a fan of Sheeran, but this guy is musically fucking awesome on this!

After hearing this for a thousand times. This song is still on fire.

As a Christian...that's Soo resonates with me..."Keep careful watch of my Brother's souls...." 📖✝️🐑👑🫒

Surely one of the best songs ever written for a fantasy movie.

Oh, misty eye of the mountain below Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke Keep watching over Durin's son If this is to end in fire Then we should all burn together Watch the flames climb high into the night Calling out father, stand by and we will Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side And if we should die tonight Then we should all die together Raise a glass of wine for the last time Calling out father, prepare as we will Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side Desolation comes upon the sky Now I see fire, inside the mountain I see fire, burning the trees And I see fire, hollowing souls I see fire, blood in the breeze And I hope that you'll remember me Oh, should my people fall Then surely I'll do the same Confined in mountain halls We got too close to the flame Calling out father hold fast and we will Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side Desolation comes upon the sky Now I see fire, inside the mountain I see fire, burning the trees I see fire, hollowing souls I see fire, blood in the breeze And I hope that you'll remember me And if the night is burning I will cover my eyes For if the dark returns then My brothers will die And as the sky's falling down It crashed into this lonely town And with that shadow upon the ground I hear my people screaming out Now I see fire, inside the mountain I see fire, burning the trees I see fire, hollowing souls I see fire, blood in the breeze I see fire, oh you know I saw a city burning (fire) I see fire, feel the heat upon my skin (fire) And I see fire (fire) And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side

I legit started crying the moment the credits started to roll and this song was crooner into my ears.

its crazy how he really nailed the vibe of the song…i always get emotional about the hobbit whenever i hear this cus the lyrics he used perfectly fits the series

This should have won an Academy Award..

How can one be so talented... 💗🔥✌🏼️

After 8 years I have only one word Beautiful

One of the best musicians ever. Singing, playing and writing is wow...

Zwykły rudy koleś pokazał, że nie trzeba wyglądać jak Timberlake, żeby zabłysnąć. Dziwi mnie tylko, że (póki co) tak mało osób go słucha. No, jednym słowem - Wymiótł scenę dotychczasowego show biznesu...I tak trzymać!

This is absolutely the best movie soundtrack this year.

This masterpiece is 8 years already? EIGHT YEARS???

Edsheeran is precious, his talent is amazing.

Ed Sheeran watched the film, wrote the song and then recorded it all in one day...that is talent.

He seems sweet and humble i really love his music.

„All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us” Gandalf

Wonderful performance, honestly this guy deserves all the recognition he's got through the years. He's awesome!

When I watched the Hobbit.. in the end of the movie the lights didn't turn on until this song ended and everyone stayed at their seats to listen to this song. It's so amazing *-*

I think J.R.R. Tolkien would be really proud with everything what was/is being done with his novels by Peter Jackson, Warner Bros., actors and everyone else who participated in creation of these masterful movies

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH! I LOVE HOBBIT AND LOTR I cant believe its 8 years... 2021?

Recorded the elements in ONE DAY..the talent of this lad is infinite

I never ever sit through the end credits once a movie ends but while waiting for people to leave the theatre this song came on and I was hooked and was held hostage in my seat by this amazing song.

after the movie I listen to this. Just fell in love with the music, the best end to a fantastic movie!

Indisputable that he is the greatest songwriter of his generation

Can't believe I just found this 😳. One of the most talented musicians ever.

There is no musician that could produce a better soundtrack for that particular movie. Not only is the music beautiful... But it is very atmospheric for the trilogy.

I See Awesomeness.

This is probably my all time favorite song. I will never understand why it wasn't a bigger hit. It gives me chills!!

Hauntingly beautiful.

How was this song not nominated for best original song at the Oscars this year?

Lyrics: Oh, misty eye of the mountain below Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke Keep watching over Durin's sons If this is to end in fire Then we should all burn together Watch the flames climb high into the night Calling out father, oh Stand by and we will Watch the flames burn auburn on The mountain side (Aiai) And if we should die tonight Then we should all die together Raise a glass of wine for the last time Calling out father oh Prepare as we will Watch the flames burn auburn on The mountain side Desolation comes upon the sky Now I see fire Inside the mountains I see fire Burning the trees And i see fire Hollowing souls I see fire Blood in the breeze And I hope that you'll remember me Oh, should my people fall then Surely I'll do the same Confined in mountain halls We got too close to the flame Calling out father, oh Hold fast and we will Watch the flames burn auburn on The mountain side Desolation comes upon the sky Now I see fire Inside the mountains I see fire Burning the trees And I see fire Hollowing souls I see fire Blood in the breeze And I hope that you'll remember me And if the night is burning I will cover my eyes For if the dark returns then My brothers will die And as the sky's falling down It crashed into this lonely town And with that shadow upon the ground I hear my people screaming out And I see fire Inside the mountains I see fire Burning the trees I see fire Hollowing souls I see fire Blood in the breeze I see fire (oh you know i saw a city burning) {fire} And I see fire (feel the heat upon my skins) {fire} And I see fire (Oohoohooh) {fire} And I see fire burn auburn on the mountainside ~FIN~ I know I am not the first to post the lyrics of a song, especially a song like "I See Fire". I just want to give the opportunity to those who haven't already heard/read the lyrics to enjoy them :). If you see any mistakes please comment, not for me but for Ed :D.Thank you and Enjoy. -Philip

The guitar is so beautiful. The instant it starts I get full body shivers

Apparently he just walked in there and about 15 mins later, had come up with this song. Whatever anyone thinks of Ed and his music, that is in an incredible talent.

I was deployed to Syria last year, in a not so good spot. I listened to this every day. Helped me out a lot, makes you think about your brothers that your serve with and the ones back home.

This cures my depression. Thank you Sheeran.

dude has got some f**king pipes on him...good lord what an amazing singer

I cry 19 years old, was under the wing of the greatest. saw jesus and still weep sometimes with a smiling face.

"And if we should die tonight We should all die together Raise a glass of wine for the last time" I love it. ♥

I cannot express how many times I have replayed this song over and over on both my phone and on UKposts.

I am from Central Asia, my husband and I love this song and the movie The Hobbit! We revise every year the film The Hobbit all parts, and then the Lord of the Rings. I have listened to this song performed by Ed Sheeran 1000 times and I still like it😍😍😍❤❤❤

Ed is the greatest musician of all time.

3 years later,this song still touched me😍

relaxing harmonic peaceful this took me away from this cruel world for a minute and that minute was the longest of my life - ty for that

Oh, misty eye of the mountain below Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke Keep watching over Durin's sons If this is to end in fire Then we should all burn together Watch the flames climb high into the night Calling out for the rope Stand by and we will Watch the flames burn on and on The mountain side, hey And if we should die tonight Then we should all die together Raise a glass of wine for the last time Calling out for the rope Prepare as we will Watch the flames burn on and on The mountain side Desolation comes upon the sky Now I see fire Inside the mountain And I see fire Burning the trees And I see fire Hollowing souls And I see fire Blood in the breeze And I hope that you remember me Oh, should my people fall Then surely I'll do the same Confined in mountain halls We got too close to the flame Calling out for the rope Hold fast and we will Watch the flames burn on and on The mountain side Desolation comes upon the sky Now I see fire Inside the mountain And I see fire Burning the trees And I see fire Hollowing souls And I see fire Blood in the breeze And I hope that you remember me And if the night is burning I will cover my eyes For if the dark returns Then my brothers will die And as the sky is falling down It crashed into this lonely town And with that shadow upon the ground I hear my people screaming out Now I see fire Inside the mountains I see fire Burning the trees I see fire Hollowing souls I see fire Blood in the breeze I see fire Oh you know I saw a city burning out (fire) And I see fire Feel the heat upon my skin, yeah (fire) And I see fire (fire) And I see fire burn on and on the mountain side

Ed inspired me to go all in with my music, he was once just like me, an artist trying to get heard. Now he’s on top. I genuinely believe it will happen for me one day, Im not stopping when it does! 🧡

- Adele: "Set fire to the rain!" - Halestorm: "I am the fire!!!" - Ed Sheeran: "I see fire!! :o" - Pink: "Yea, it looks just like fire" -- Billy Joel: "We didn't start the fire."

Ed sheeran's voice can't be given a definition. It's amaaazing.

Every time I listen this song - I re-watch entire Hobbit Both pieces of art

It’s 2022 and I still come back to this

Its cool that an actual Hobbit sung this sung JK.. Love you Sheeran ❤️

in love with this song...

I may love the entire song, but the quality and lightness of the beautiful solo at the beginning of the video and the first 40 seconds are priceless.

The riff he plays at the start of this has been in my head for years… I need to find that

The best film and song..I've ever seen..❤Gandalf

killing the replay button

Am I the only person who thinks he has a voice like a angel?

Its been 6 years !!!??? Omg it felt like it was so recent

Its so hard to believe hes the same age as Justin beiber. So much more maturity and talent. He deserves even more fame! Ed Sheeran is amazing!!

I was living in New Zealand in 2015 can’t have been long after this was written, it makes me wonder why I ever came home

It's Feb 2021 who's still listening to this masterpiece?

ed is the only singer i know of that can provide a acoustic feeling like this

This song is pretty much the definition of perfect. The voice, music, and the artist. No flaws there.

I remember, watching this movie alone when my ex-girlfriend was living 1076 Kilometres from me. I was alone and upset been happy watching this movie. Today I'm not married to her because she gave me a foot a few months later. This song makes me return to get some important memories from my 21 years old and I know that time goes fast always. Songs make us feel moments in our lives and see these memories and keep them alive.

Of all the vids with Ed singing "I See Fire", this is the one I like the most. It has a as-it-was-happening feel to it with the date and the pic in the end with PJ. Part of the memory basket.

How this song didn't get an oscar nomination is beyond me.....

I played this with a thunderstorm sound playing in the background. It was awesome.

Ed Sheeran is an amazing songwriter and singer! I mean this gives me goosebumps For the love of God, this man is a GENIUS 🤯❤️

2024 and still so in love with this masterpiece

chills... every single time
