End Credits Song

I have a slight hunch of who might do the song. Ready for it? It is a New Zealander and we all know how much PJ loves to give as much to New Zealand as possible. So, my hunch is that it will be Lorde. And crazy enough, the tembre of her voice I think would be perfect for the way this movie will end.
It is the little things in life that keep the darkness at bay.

The song she does for THG: Mockingjay Part I is abysmal imho.
The song is also a marketing tool... I doubt either Lionsgate or WB would accept an artist doing the song for two movies which will play so closely together.
I hope it will be a male voice... doing a version of "The Road Goes Ever On".

We all have our hearts and minds one way or another invested in these books and movies. So we all mind and should show the necessary respect.

Didn't realize she was doing the song for HG. Yep that probably rules her out :) And I do agree that a male voice would be appropriate as well.

... it is called "Yellow Flicker Beat".

I hope it continues with the male sung tradition in TH as well

I was saying the same thing for the DoS song too: I'm still hoping for Nick Cave. He is truly a great artist, a very distinctive and fitting voice and is a fan! (he was at the London premiere of AUJ with his kids)

I am thinking it could be someone like Eddie Vedder or Nick Cave.

Though Aaradhna would be pretty cool with the right song.
Shona Laing would be *really* cool if they could get her out of semi-retirement!
******************************************
"My friend,” said Gandalf, “you had horses, and deeds of arms, and the free fields; but she, born in the body of a maid, had a spirit and courage at least the match of yours. Yet she was doomed to wait upon an old man, whom she loved as a father, and watch him falling into a mean dishonoured dotage; and her part seemed to her more ignoble than that of the staff he leaned on.
“Think you that Wormtongue had poison only for Théoden's ears? ‘Dotard! What is the house of Eorl but a thatched barn where brigands drink in the reek, and their brats roll on the floor among their dogs?’ Have you not heard those words before? Saruman spoke them, the teacher of Wormtongue. Though I do not doubt that Wormtongue at home wrapped their meaning in terms more cunning. My lord, if your sister's love for you, and her will still bent to her duty, had not restrained her lips; you might have heard even such things as these escape them. But who knows what she spoke to the darkness, alone, in the bitter watches of the night, when all her life seemed shrinking, and the walls of her bower closing in about her, a hutch to trammel some wild thing in?”
“I'm gonna wash Rohan right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash Rohan right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash Rohan right outa my hair,
And I’ll be on my way!
“If a land don't understand you,
No matter how many regimes,
Saddle up, do not wait,
Don’t waste time at the weapontake.
Muster out of that roll call.
Ride Windfola out to your dreams!
“If the house of Eorl is nothing more,
Than a barn where brigands drink,
Their brats and dogs roll on the floor,
Then you know what the door is for,
Muster out of that roll call,
Wash Rohan into the sink!
“I'm gonna wash Rohan right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash Rohan right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash Rohan right outa my hair,
And I’ll be on my way!"
-Rodgers and Hammerstein, The Lord of the Rings

...a tendency in this series of films to have a male singer for that credits song. Definitely some sort of philosophy behind juxtaposing 'male' Hobbit and 'female' Lotr. At least that's an impression one gets.

Plus if Katie had a hand in getting Ed Sheeran in DoS, maybe she'll convince her pop about Lorde as well!
