It's 3 years later and I still think this song should at least be nominated for an Oscar.

When I saw the last "Hobbit" in the cinema and heard this song at the credits, I cried like a baby. The Tolkien world has been such a definitive part both of my childhood and adulthood. Those stories will stay with me forever, the movies will continue to have a special place in our home and the books will probably become favourite bedtime stories to my future kids.

As long as this guy's here, Middle Earth hasn't actually gone away. We just had a brief visit, but returning is easy. You just need to know where to look. Stay strong my my fellow riders of Rohan

Rest in peace Bilbo baggins 😔 Ian Holm 😔

2 years later and I still can't watch without almost crying

What a beautiful song, this needs to still win an Oscar. THANK YOU BILLY FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!❤❤❤❤❤

We may be stuck with the luck of the Irish, but we were blessed with voice of the angels.

6 movies, 2 trilogies that will go with me to the grave. Thank you Peter J.

This version is obviously a little rougher than the studio recording, but I prefer this one BY FAR. There’s so much raw emotion in Billy’s voice and his face, I literally get goosebumps every single time I watch this. Fucking brilliant.

Over 400 "takes" in the studio and more than 9 hours straight on the final day. Nothing but respect for Billy Boyd and his singing and many other talents!

I saw the light fade from the sky On the wind I heard a sigh As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers I will say this last goodbye Night is now falling So ends this day The road is now calling and I must away Over hill and under tree Through lands where never light has shone By silver streams that run down to the Sea Under cloud, beneath the stars Over snow and winter's morn I turn at last to paths that lead home And though where the road then takes me I cannot tell We came all this way But now comes the day To bid you farewell Many places I have been Many sorrows I have seen But I don't regret Nor will I forget All who took that road with me Night is now falling So ends this day The road is now calling And I must away Over hill and under tree Through lands where never light has shone By silver streams that run down to the Sea To these memories I will hold With your blessing I will go To turn at last to paths that lead home And though where the road then takes me I cannot tell We came all this way But now comes the day To bid you farewell I bid you all a very fond farewell

i was there when he sang this song... easily one of the best cons i have ever attended, and made me bawl my eyes out every time ilook back on it...

beautiful I listen to this nightly as a part of a chorus before bedtime

I could listen to this on loop for the rest of my life. I don't know about others but when I realized Billy was singing this for The Hobbit was the greatest thing. The perfect voice and song to bring it all to an end. Meeting Billy a few years ago was one of the best moments of my life.

you can't help but realize who's come, who's gone and in the end you're right where you started.

I love this song so much. I am a hard core Tolkien fan and this song was perfect for the end of the story. I’ve told my kids I want this song played at my funeral because I fits my life as well. Bidding a fond farewell to those friends and family who have shared in my adventures and walked with me through life. Also the line about taking the path not knowing where it goes. It’s such a beautiful image. Thank you Billy for the gift of this song.

I just adore this tune (Mr Boyd there is no other singer who could do this beautiful song as perfectly) just wonderful, Keith Wignall,L,pool.

I don’t know why Hobbit trilogy got so much hate... i mean, obviously the book is a lot better... man, but the movies bring me on tears, and that means so much

Billy's smile took all my anxieties away.🌸

What a guy. Very beautiful song and singing

I thought the official version was absolutely perfect, but this one is 1000 times better than the official version, so I do not know what it is - some divine revelation!

I got the privilege of hearing Billy Boyd sing live once. There were a lot of technical problems going on that day with the sound system, but he still performed like a champ. There is a haunting beauty to this man's voice that no recording is capable of capturing. I hope before he stops performing that technology can catch up and truly reflect everything that he is doing with is voice if for no other reason than I selfishly want to be able to hear it any time I want to hear it.

I remember hearing this the first time I saw TBOFA at the cinema. I think I was a bit shell shocked. From the combination of delight of recognising Billy's (Pippin's) voice singing, to the sudden real sadness in understanding the message "I bid you all a very fond farewell" as 'there won't be any more Middle Earth films from PJ and family'. How I wish we could all go back. I know Amazon are doing their thing, but it won't be from the people we love.

Wizard, Knight, Ranger, Archer, Warrior, and... Bard. classic adventuring party.

What is it like, as a musician, to know you've made a song so great, so powerful, that it's still being demanded everywhere you go? The lyrics are like the painstaking walk from a funeral, the vocals a haunting companion, the instruments echoing the sound of the heart. This is the greatest song in history. What is that like for a musician from a relatively unknown band to hear?

I just love this .... I can't tell you how much I love this. Billy, you cut right at the heart. When I leave this earth (and I have to face up to my own mortality these past two years with some serious illness) this song will be my last farewell.

This song is what I played over and over again while moving countries and seeing the long distance kill an amazing relationship... Thank you, Billy. 🙏

Amazing...just amazing! Great voice, great melodie and heartbreaking text. I still can't stop to hear it again and again

I always get goosebumps when I hear this song. So beautiful and haunting.

the way he sings live..just like the studio version. So so good! Thank you Billy! I love this song so much :)

He was a vital part of Tolkien’s story…thank you

A true hearted Hobbit.

Saw him a week ago at the Orlando Mega Con. He sang the song at the end of a panel. Very amusing and likeable fellow. Was worth the Con price, just to meet him.

thank you for all the memories LOTR and the Hobbit

The Greatest movie of all times!

I still listen to remember Shawn Butler from Cambridge Ontario. Rest in peace my friend.

After I read all from the Simarillion, the books of the lost tales, History of Middleearth, the Hobbit and the Lord of the rings, I watched all six movies, missing the movies about the Silmarillion, all of the stories: Ainulindale, Valaquenta, Narn i Hin Hurin, Lin Leithian, The Fall of Gondolin... I listen to this song and then I'm back in Middleearth...

Me again......what a peaceful tone of voice...Timeless song for the harsh times we are living! I hope everybody will feel the warmth of this song in their hearts.

best song 2 wrap a movie since titanic!

Wonderful performance of one of my favourite songs ever.

I managed to not cry in the theatres, at age 9, during all of BotFA. And then I heard this, which I immediately recognized as Pippin's voice. I couldn't stop balling. It took a lot for my parents to usher me out of the theatre that day, lol.

I am from Holland I can beatbox been a dancer all My life 3 years ago started singing father of 3 boys been a fan off lord of the rings as long as I can remember this is the only song I cAn sing with passion feel this song in My bones one of the greatest songs ever Made in my opinion

Thanks Billy, for all of you! You are so I don't have words! Hugs always!

Far more entertaining and memorable than the dumpster fire of Rings of Girl Power.

Wahnsinn,unglaublich gut , Respekt vor dieser Live Version Ist im Original Video schon Hammer hart und wird hier fast noch übertroffen Hut ab
