I'm currently obsessed with this cover of "Misty Mountains," originally from Peter Jackson's first Hobbit film. The singing is terrific and the choral arrangement is otherworldly. When Peter Hollens sings "But shrill and harsh," it's accompanied by such a cool chord, up angelically high (I believe sung by Peter in a high falsetto, but wow!). That and the following two chords...mmmm, so haunting.
I like how the arrangement drops the bass in the middle so that when it returns, it has so much more impact than if it had been present all along. And that final note from Tim Foust is something you have to experience to believe.
