Listen To Neil Finn's Song From 'The Hobbit' Closing Credits

Written and performed by Crowded House front-man Neil Finn, 'Song of the Lonely Mountain' is an epic ballad developed from a theme the film’s dwarves sing early in the film, and heard briefly in the trailers.

Neil Finn told Rolling Stone Magazine, that Peter Jackson and his team suggested he get in a "dwarven state of mind" as he shaped the song to play over the end credits. "After some days of mining underground (actually, in Peter's office) I emerged with the song, then set about recording it with my sons Elroy and Liam. Dave Fridmann came in at the end with a bold mix. He seemed to respond well to my demands for 'more anvil!' Pop music needs more anvil!"
