"I See Fire" cover by Geoff Castellucci (YouTube)
VoicePlay's bass singer, Geoff Castellucci, released a second YouTube music video in 2023 based on Tolkien's Middle Earth, "I See Fire," on his indie solo channel. He is costumed as Thorin, Kili, Fili, and Bofur; the characters he previously portrayed in his cover of "Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold." He sings this tune as if this group of warriors are facing another, and perhaps their last, battle. It is more poignant because we know that three of the four that he is portraying will not survive.
Geoff has an impressive vocal range (5 octaves) and goes all in on his music videos. All of the vocals and instrumentation are solely his. In VoicePlay, Geoff mostly stays in the low bass range. In his solo work, begun during the pandemic shutdown when VoicePlay could no longer tour, he sings everything from low bass to tenor.

- He only has 2 songs devoted to Tolkien, so I don't think he qualifies for an entire article. As much, you could include a link to his cover. Quentandil (talk) 16:04, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Geoff Castellucci just released a third Tolkien-based music video this month, "Song of Durin." Geoff's new release caused me to look up some other covers and then visit this website to refresh my memory on Gimli's song. It's been about three years since I've done another thorough reread of Tolkien. I just think it's cool that new music covers of Tolkien draw in the younger generations. My grandchildren would have been introduced soon anyway since my SIL is a huge fan too. Geoff's covers just brought them into the fold sooner. Valinda (talk) 17:44, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
