Not a download, per se, but a link to hear Neil Finn's song at the end of The Hobbit:

Updated with new download link

Thanks a bunch, mate.

Now I would desire the extended version of this piece, if you've got that...

I pre-ordered The Hobbit Complete Score today and this was available immediately from it. Thought I'd share it will all of you wonderful people. This is the highest bit-rate VBR encoding of the song (I had to re-encode it without any metadata so it isn't tracked by copyright company) which means it's slightly less than the original but only by 1.5mb. Enjoy!

Thanks for this!

Very much apprecciated, comrade!!!

Thank you both for sharing!

I really dig it, but it reminds me of Simon and Garfunkle. That's by no means a diss as I love Simon and Garfunkle. I'll have to see what else Neil Finn has done.

Cheers,

Neil Finn is part of a rather legendary band from NZ (by way of Melbourne) called Crowded House. His first band was the awesome Split Endz, but he and his brother made a new for themselves with Crowded House. If you want a place to start, the Best Of album, Recurring Dream, is a good place to start.

Thanks Shevchyk. Now I have a place to start.

Gah. "...made a name for themselves" is what I meant to say. But nevertheless, you're quite welcome!

Thanks

Thanks for the upload!

neil also scored a movie called 'rain' circa 2002 (again in nz). interesting score to say the least.
