The lord of the rings was my dad's favorite. We would watch it once a year as a family. And i know he specifically loved the music. He passed September 2019 and I keep coming to this video to feel close to him.
Peter Crosby Thank you for sharing. Just from this little comment you made it is apparent on the impact your father had in your life. What’s amazing about that memory of your father is you will do something similar if not the same with your kids. And thus the ripple your father made in your heart will be felt generations to come.
oh man wth....this was the exact same scenario with my mom.The ONLY reason I even know about Lord of the Rings was because of her and she LOVED watching the scenes of hobbiton over and over.She passed away on September too and I come back to listen to this just to hear how happy she used to get when the music and scenes came on in my head.God do I miss her.I feel for you bro
Peter, May I sit with you and listen? I too am acquainted with grief and loss. This music is deeply emotive for me as well.💜🇨🇦 For all who find solace here ~ be ever loyal and true to yourself and those who walk along side you on the journey, this adventure ~ this tale.
In light of how the world is right now, this quote has never been more perfect: It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened. But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something. That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for. -Samwise Gamgee
AKproductionz, I have always seen Sam as the central character. He is Tolkien’s Everyman: the common person who embodies the dignity, honor, and goodness Tolkien saw in all of humanity.
@@b1j exactly, he was such a simple person and he was in now way a warrior, but through out the films you see him grow mentally. This quote shows that he now begins to understand and he knows what's right.
I’m so lonely everyday but at night it’s the worst. Loneliness is one of the craziest feelings I’ve experienced. These videos, these comments make me feel just a bit less lonely
I know we don’t know each other, but I’m praying for you my friend:)! “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
If I had to choose Erebor, The Lonely Mountain, or, The Shire, It would be, The Lonely Mountain, I am part dwarf and elf, and as much I would love to go to The Shire, it would have to be Erebor.
I've been living in Oxfordshire, GB since February. For me, it's almost as close as it gets. Rolling hills, green pastures, wild flowers, huge, open skies, and lots of nice, hobbit-like people who love feasts, ale, a laugh or two and their gardens.
I Alway's don't Understand how Small and Short you human's out there are! at least Men Should be Tall not 5'2 like a Girl! I am 6'5 then again I have a Bloodline of German's and Viking's and Knight's and King's I have Warrior Blood my Dad is funny he says I Look like Part of the Mountain's were Ripped out to Form my Muscular Physique! and he is not small by ANY MEAN'S. I also have Scottish in me and they are a Great people as well. thanks to short people everything is made for them i have to squat down in cars look like Mr. Incredible in a small car and Hit my Head on so many things if I ever say anything crazy I blame it on short people LoL I have a Hard Head Literally Sturdy and Stubborn as an OX.
@@thespacedisland5746 I don't think so. I think it's his own original work. Looking at some of the other comments on this video, he writes using the same style. Here's an example: Nathaniel Castro 6 days ago "No Reincarnating exist's after life your judged to be Good Evil or Neutral Neutral is evil also and cannot exist in the Celestial Kingdom highest of the Heaven's. NO FENCE SITTER'S!!!!!!!!" posted as a reply to a comment about someone saying that after they die they'd like to be reincarnated into tolkien's world....
Perhaps it is because our origins are from God and when you experience beauty, truth, goodness, you come into contact with the God that created you, your origins and the true place in which we all call home, within the very heart of God.
If I understand you correctly, I think just like Samwise, Merry and Pippin after Frodo leaves at the end of the books, we too can know and have, "...great comfort in (our) friends on the long grey road."❤
I have never been able to put this desire into words. It’s hard to explain, because it’s not a nerdy obsession, it’s more of a longing for simpler, lost way of life; one that has never, but may yet come about.
I was lucky enough to visit the Shire set in New Zealand a few years ago. It was so lovely. I almost cried the whole time - in a way, it felt like coming home, even though I had never been there before.
“End? No the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey-rain curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.”
@@monitoredactivity8649 its because the universe we live in is all we know. No matter how we roll the dice, or which masks the characters wear, it's all the same story. It's all the truth, and life that lives in us all. You dont need religious texts to bare witness to the splendor of creation, or hear the universes truth. Stories, and myths have always sufficed.
Samwise: "Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields... and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?"
Do you remember your youth when all was young and new? Do you remember when the days were longer and you ran on swift feet? Do you remember the magic? Remember because it is still there inside you and it is a light and you are the light and you will always shine if you remember and are grateful for this precious gift of life given to you; - God you are the Light and we return to the light and we are renewed in you!

This is something Game of Thrones can’t give you. A sense of going home to a place you’ve never been to. Coziness, safety, reassurance. Old friends you’ve dreamed about meeting. Edit: oh my goodness thank you for all the likes!
That is because LOTR is a fairy tale while GOT is more of a real life adaptation. We don't yearn for realism, we want the ethereal, the things we can't have. Magic, friendship and wonders; a cozy evening in a smial with not a care for anything. GOT is grim, nightmarish yet real, all the things you do not want to experience, everything twisted and wrong. Yet we love them both for different reasons. yay
I love how civilised the LOTR fans are. Everything in an argument is resolved politely and with actual substantial points that aren't simply unfounded and dumb insults to other people's fandoms. Cheers to a great fandom :')
*Rest forever in peace C. Tolkien. Thank you for sharing your fathers works with the world and for completing what he couldn’t. You and your fathers love for literacy will forever be embedded in the hearts and minds of those who dared to step foot in the land of middle earth. Til we meet again old friend til we meet again.*
R.I.P Tolkien u were a legend of ur time and I hope many years later people will still be awe inspired and love ur movies like we do I hope to see u in the afterlife
The two things I want most in life: an old wizard scratching something on my door with his staff, and a wardrobe leading to a snowy forest and a single street lamp.
I agree but we can't forget a fast starship to take us to across the galaxy. Nor a strange man's little blue box to show us all of time......these are the four things I want most in life. A return to our sense of wonder and imagination.
Tell me how to get there. Tell me how to find the Hundred Acre Woods and I will go there. Tell me the forest where Bambi lives and I will lose myself there.
Ga jij nu het weer mag naar de Beekse Bergen of de Efteling? Dan hoef je niet je eigen boterhammetjes te smeren! Leek een hele tijd wel zo, maar dinsdag werd duidelijk dat het kabinet toch een uitzondering voor pretparken en dierentuinen maakt. Daar kun je vanaf donderdag gewoon eten en drinken afhalen.🥪
Sometimes my stomach hurts when I hear this music. I just want to live a Hobbit live, peaceful, sitting with a book next to a fire - take long walks in the forest.
My 28 year old brother died a year ago. He and I used to watch LOTR and The hobbit all the time. This song is what I have to remember him now. Hold your loved ones close :)
I'm so sorry, my heart goes out to you and your family. Every time I hear something like this, I'm scared about my own siblings. I hope you've been doing well over the past year, sending hobbit hugs! 🍻
“You’ve left out one of the chief characters- Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam... Frodo wouldn’t have gotten far without Sam.” - Frodo Baggins
Mia Galden Their friendship is so beautiful, I think that it might be one of my favorite elements of the movie! You’re right, there really aren’t enough people in this world who share their love and kindness equally to everyone🧡
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” -Frodo. “So do I,and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”-Gandalf
This hits different with COVID-19 but it inspires me to keep doing the next good thing and help others be safe as much as i can stay safe everyone know that if no one else i am sending love and support to everyone in these comments cause that is how we role in the shire
My grandmother introduced me to Bilbo and the Shire at the age of four, 38 years ago, and I’ve spent my entire literary existence searching for the warmth and comfort that Tolkien created in Middle Earth, in other novels. My heart will always belong to the Shire, and to Rivendell, from the shores of the Grey Havens to the Citadel of the White Tower and beyond. I will always cherish these stories, every page of every version of every book I’ve ever owned that brings me back. I learned to enjoy reading with Bilbo and the Dwarves of Erebor, and Mr. Tolkien’s Middle Earth has been an inspiration all my years. My children, and their children, will learn to love the Shire as I have, for as long as the paper upon which the words of this masterful tale are written remains. Thank you, J.R. and Christopher, for letting the world accompany you on your journey through Middle Earth and now beyond. As Gandalf once told the Lord of the Eagles, Gwaihir: May the wind under your wings bear you to where the sun sails and the moon walks
🥺💗I'm pregnate of my first kid..my son will know what's the trully power of literature music and also cinema when its part of a good writing like Mr Tolkien..can i ask you some advices to order the readings for adapting every age of my little one?for know i only put the music on the belly and some special quotes of Gandalf Sam Galadriel and Arwën
It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to. 🕯️❤️ 💐❤️
A young child sits alone in a dark room, a candle his only companion. He hides from the scary world in a tattered blanket and finds shelter in an old book with the name J.R.R Tolkein on the cover. Thank you sincerely for reminding me of my innocence when my world was still so small. I truly appreciate this with tears in my eyes. Thank you for sharing this digital smile.
This makes me so homesick for a place I’ve never been. Perhaps it’s the old times and memories I share with my family and friends with this movie that creates such a feeling. But it’s always the Shire music that sparks that nostalgia and homesickness. Every time. It’s why I have a symbol of the shire tattooed on my arm. ❤️
It's not so much the ambiance - it's the melody - so appealing to the intellect and capturing of the emotion. Complex melody has just just about disappeared from music today, even orchestral; thus, it so warms the heart when you find the genius of one.
I have never felt like I belong anywhere in this world. But this music gives me a sense of belonging, a home that I never had. Makes me believe that someday I'd be in that place.
For Tolkien, fantasy and myths could reflect deeper truth: “We have come from God and inevitably the myths woven by us, though they contain error, will also reflect a splintered fragment of the true light, the eternal truth that is with God. Indeed, only by myth-making, only by becoming a ‘sub-creator’ and inventing stories, can Man ascribe to the state of perfection that he knew before the fall.” www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/9-things-you-should-know-about-j-r-r-tolkien/ :D :D
I feel the same. Nowhere have I ever found a place that I felt I fit into until I read these books. I have traveled this world and still, working on making my own piece of the Shire. This music makes me laugh/cry all at the same time. The comments make my heart swell. I visit here when I need to remember how good the world is with people like all of you in it.
Lilymoon I was a combat medic for 6 years. Loss taught me the hard way to hold on to what you do have. I’m beyond thankful to have the life I do, and to have so many to cherish it with. I hope you can find the same love in your life.
On a lonely night, I came here wishing to find my people. I long to travel to distant places, speak every language and learn as much as I can while I exist. For now I can't do those things, but at least here, I can feel a little closer to peoples I've yet to meet, read such beautiful comments and feel a little better about my station in life right now. Good travels to all who're here in the Shire looking for comfort and their purpose.
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time given to us :) " - Gandalf It's 10PM here in CA and I'm about to go to sleep. Hopefully you lovely people will have an amazing day/night. LOTR people are the best because we keep it real here cmon now :)
There are people in the world whose hearts turned to stone for many reasons. But if you have a heart which still melts in music and finds hope,you're lucky. Have a nice day.
I feel like this comment section is the Green Dragon surrounded by friendly hobbits cosy and amiable! It's always wonderful to see how much Lord of the Rings means to us. A safe place. A home. A dream. All my favourite quotes people are posting here too ❤️
Ain't that right??? Surrounded by friends or at least people you could become friends with easily, just having a little smoke of old Toby and a beer in one hand...
You ever just want your day to consist of waking up in a really cozy bed with the smell of firewood and French toast in the morning, as you finally open your eyes the sunlight streams through all the circular windows in your cabin. The floor is an old creaky oak wood but it brings more nostalgia than annoyance. A convenient little cabin that invites you to the living room with the sound of crackling firewood as soon as you walk out of your bedroom. Now that the sun is up you extinguish the fire and settle down in a rocking chair facing out of a window that displays the most beautiful clover fields in the whole world. Children running around and laughing, folks walking with their family and friends, the faint sound of birds singing their morning song. And you just sit there for 15 minutes admiring it all. The day goes by with errands and events, going to the market for breads, and milk, eggs and such. And finally, a local gathering for the town feast where everyone is invited to a large tavern as the sun begins to set over the rolling hills. By the time everyone has enjoyed their food, the night is present but still young. You say goodbye to your friends and neighbors and head back to the cozy hill cabin. Your routine night pipe awaits by the fireplace where you smoke while you light and poke the fireplace to life again. Crickets slowly create an ambience throughout the night that tells you most people are asleep by now. Pipe in mouth you read a massive book called ‘the Adventures of Bilbo Baggins’ for about 30 minutes by the fire each night, settled down in a cozy leather chair. The moonlight reveals the clover fields one more time before morning, and what once was a lively vivacious town is temporarily silent as you set the pipe atop the fireplace and head to sleep. The last thing you hear is the crickets in the distance, and an occasional gentle breeze through your circular windows. All is well, and the house is furnished just to your liking. You pick up your old note keeper to write out your day as you normally do before falling asleep. You tell of the warm morning sunshine, the bright green clover fields, the laughing children and the wandering neighbors, the amazing food at the town feast and all the wonderful conversations and laughs you had whilst being there, but most importantly you emphasize how happy you are to be alive in such an amazing time and place. And you finish with, “I couldn’t think of any place I’d rather be than here in The Shire.” At last, you put the note keeper back on the nightstand, cover up in your cozy bed, and drift into a long peaceful sleep. No worries, no anxiety, no pressure. All is Well
“There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." Thorin Oakenshield
@Mia Galden He realized that , but it was too late. It speaks to Thorins regret. I think that not only was Thorin speaking of Bilbo , and the Hobbits, character but I believe it was a blessing as well.
How true this has become to so many. I hope that others are now finding that this is the true value of a life well-lived. The love of friends and family, the comforts that give you pleasure, and all of the many myriad of daily happenings that make you wish for this place. We all create this outside of ourselves, as we live in our hearts, so we show this to the world. Peace, friends.
Imagine waking up one morning, in a big soft bed, covered by fresh smelling sheets and blankets, the fire in the fireplace slowly roaring and crackling, the cool autumn breeze coming in from the open window and on the kitchen table, hot bread fresh from the oven, with butter and jam waiting for you to begin your day with. You pull up a chair and you sit next to that open window, letting the cool breeze wake you up while you peacefully enjoy your breakfast and listen to the birds chirp.. 1615
Whenever I get stressed out in life, I bake bread, open up the house, and clean my bedsheets 😂 You just made my habits sound like a storybook ☺️ Thanks! Edit: I found this soundtrack while making tea, because I don't want to do my homework 😅
on my wedding day years ago when we gave each other our wedding rings we had a flute player playing this song.. such a magical moment. Thank you LOTR to be a very huge and important part in my life
My wedding is gonna play this when people are settling down and the wedding ended and I bet people will fall asleep and I would too and at my funeral I would also have this music playing so people remember me and the movies I hold dear to my heart
Seeing everyone in the comments makes me so happy. The Shire has connected us all, and I hope everyone reading this is happy and has an incredible night/day :)
I truly love this fantastic community. Even with the trying times in this dark world these comments and kind people always make me feel better no matter what’s happened. I’m thankful for all of you everyday and this fantastic trilogy that brought us all together.
The Comment section is killing me rn, so many People who feel just like me. Never thought i‘d be crying in my bed at midnight Dreaming about the Shire Edit: 5 months later and i still get that vibe
My friend learned to play the flute PURELY so he could play this music. I have literally walked by his house more than once and heard him playing it inside. He cannot play anything else at all. It is possibly one of the most peaceful pieces of music in the world. Also it calms down his dogs who often go to sleep beside him when he plays. Music is the real magic in the world.
Me, looking at the current state of the world crying: I wish none of this had happened... Gandalf, materializing into my conscience, smiling kindly: so do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, besides the will of evil. This isn't my own, I found someone who had written that on a website, but it helps quite a lot 💚
“Look, I know you doubt me, I know you always have. And you're right. I often think of Bag End. I miss my books. And my armchair. And my garden. See, that's where I belong. That's home. That's why I came back, 'cause you don't have one. A home. It was taken from you. But I will help you take it back if I can.” -Bilbo Baggins; The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Why do i just wanna wake up in the store and just go explore the middle earth and meet legolas and Aragorn and Gandalf and just journey with them and go to rivendale and just sit back go to eleven cities go to the dwarven cities and just relax and realize that whats happening right now was just a bad dream while you smoke a pipe by and fire in a bar while everyone's dancing and drinking ale
I honesty believe humans were not made to live like this. I think technology has distanced us from our true selves, and something in our DNA remembers what we were and what we're supposed to be. I think things like violence, cold winter nights, sitting around a fire in the mountains by yourself, and music like this brings those things to the surface
Last year walked through New Zealand and in between I listened to the music. I felt Hobbits around me all the time. "There's something good in this world Mr. Frodo.."
I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Omgosh, thank you sooo much for writing this in the comments, this just spoke to me cuz im going through a really dark and horrible time right now in my life.
There’s something about the lord of the rings music that makes me feel a way I’ve never felt with any other movie soundtrack. Especially the shire music. It just puts a smile on my face, it gives me such a nostalgic feeling from my youth, watching these movies with my dad and just loving every aspect of it. It’s what got me into fantasy, the lord of the rings will always have a special place in my heart.
“There is no real going back. Though I may come to the Shire it will not seem the same; for I shall not be the same. I am wounded with knife, sting, and tooth, and a long burden. Where shall I find rest?” - Frodo, The Return of the King, Homeward Bound We all remember this music and takes us back to 2001. Seasons of life always change, years come and go but this music will always be something that takes us back. And like Frodo says, it may be different but it is still the Shire. Thank you for this nostalgia.
LOTR means so much to me and will always have a place in my heart and these videos instantly flood me with all the love and emotion I have for these films, story and characters and the time it meant to me and what it will always mean to me. Simply beautiful. I wanna stay in Middle Earth always.
Isn't he actually saying it's not the Shire? Not the one he remembers. Pretty powerful metaphor for growing up actually, I feel just like this when I go back to my childhood home... it's the same house, but the era I grew up in is gone.
@@xire7021 "You'll see when you move out. It just sort of happens one day, one day and it's just gone. And you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't even exist. I don't know maybe it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start. It's like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place." - Garden State
This music brings me back to a short period in my life where everything felt like pure bliss and there were no family health issues, financial issues, freedom of imagination. Im able to calm down and relax whenever i play this music its quite literally the only thing that can make me feel like a kid again despite all the hardships of real life. Thank you for posting these.

@@jovankovacswallis8453 when though? in medieval times no one really had the opportunities we have now. a comfortable life, the illnesses are mostly curable, even though global problems are hovering menacingly and economics is shite...to obtain something of equal value must be lost i guess
Dear reader, I hope you are having a nice day or night. If no one has told you this recently, or even if they have, you are enough. You are loved. You will be okay. Whatever is worrying you will pass, and things will get better. I hope this beautiful music is giving you comfort and that you can give yourself a smile today. You are so brave and so strong. I believe in you. Have a beautiful day, and life. -A friend. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Thank you whoever you are and wherever you are. Thank you for being a beautiful person and I'm glad I met you here in the Shire. :) Be blessed and may your journey be wonderful and fulfilling.
I feel your pain i live with severe anxiety and depression that's why i work out every single day cuz i have too!!! it helps along with relaxing music. Rock and Roll Rap and Gangster music is too negative i would not listen to them. only on occasion if it is good Old fashioned Rock!! Check out Trance and Techno music maybe it will help or meditation music helps me.
Music can be so healing. I often need headphones & calming music when I’m out of my house, or even just having something calm playing quietly on my phone while it’s in my handbag. People won’t typically notice it, but I can hear it 😊 . I guess it gives me something else to focus on. Also Singing or humming can help too, I think because you’re regulating your breathing, but I just find it calms me down. *hugs* ❤️
Some days I just want to leave school, find a nice place like a Hobbit hole, cuddle up to a fire and listen to this music, and just read and write to my heart’s content and until I’m old and wise.
When I was a boy there was a dark time in my life that I found refuge in a place called Middle earth . I had a ticket between the pages of a book that would magically take me to where I could shed my pain and live life as someone else. Looking back as a man I feel fortunate. ~Not all that is gold may glitter~
At some point in my life, when I was little, books were one of the only things that made me feel better. At school, I was in quasi-permanent psychological pain, and had to contain my tears most of the time. But during breaks, every time I started reading, I could feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, as I drifted into imaginary worlds. I am so grateful for books.
I feel like you were telling my story.... in no other pages could I transform my life so completely. A hallowed refuge from chaos and sadness...now at the other end of my life, I am still captivated, still returning to Middle-earth with my grandchildren now, but in peace, healing and love.
A acorn? "I picked it up in Beorn’s garden. " "You’ve carried it all this way? " "I’m going to plant it in my garden. In Bag End. " "It’s a poor prize to take back to the Shire. " "One day it’ll grow, and every time I look at it, I’ll remember. Remember everything that happened: the good, the bad and how lucky I am that I made it home.
there is a home just like this to go to. Tolkien and Lewis had the idea to create several Christian based novels. this is one of them. I think heaven will be like this for many. peace.
I still remember sitting in the theater as The Fellowship of the Ring began. I was so worried that it wouldn't live up to the books. Then I saw the Shire...my worry disappeared, joy filled my heart, and I had to blink back tears. It seemed so real...so perfect. Blinking back tears again.
It was the same for me :) I was a bit worried about the level of adaptation despite many news about the progresses of filming and advertisements of the new trilogy. And my feels at the beginning of the first movie in the cinema was not only good, there was smt like misgivings, smt nagging me about these films being only a big budget money grabbing etc... I was not only happy while seeing the dark screen and hearing Galadriel's voice... I was not happy yet... and then I saw it... the green brightness of the Shire and at this moment I was bought by PJ movies :)
I truly wish I could be there at that time and see it in a theater. I was born in 2001, too late. I will never regret watching the trilogy for the first time in 2014, but it was surely less enjoyable than watching it at the cinema. Now I'm 19, and I keep watching them again and again :) Have a great day, best wishes from a random french student ;)
Exactly this. I was stunned and riveted to my seat. I went with my best friend who loves this as much as I do. We saw all three together. Oh how I miss her.
@@susantracey2207 I'm in the same boat as you. She wasn't my best friend but a friend I miss. Mad about LoTR and could probably speak Elvish too, room covered in Middle Earth posters. She took us all on 3 very special field trips to the cinema to watch the trilogy. Fond memories that I will always treasure
Tolkien inspired me to leave the life I’ve built over the last 15 years to make a new life elsewhere. It pains me to leave my friends and I don’t know what kind of adversity is ahead, but the Took in me wants some adventure.
RegularDude it’s going well. I have a better job, a healthier mental environment, a ton of new, fulfilling hobbies, lost a lot of weight: life’s good :)
Because down deep within the very marrow of your bones you know life in the Shire, this is the way it is suppose to be. It was stolen from us in Eden. The Garden of Eden was the original Shire. hugs.
“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” ― C.S. Lewis
The Lord of the rings is my all time favourite trilogy. I've seen these movies like hundreds of times each, and every time i get goosebumps. This makes me feel safe, calm and relaxed, this is more than home, this is the paradise that doesn't exist. I bow in front of the people whom played in the movie and the biggest bow to the man thatwrote those amazing books. Thnk you so very muc that you created this, and thank you cause you are part of my life!
I walked the aisle to Concerning Hobbits because it always reminded me of the bittersweet of life and how it passes by so quickly and slowly all at the same time. I wanted to be able to listen to this song when I’m old and see the life I’ve lived. 💕 Truly magical
My friend and i loved the Lord of the Rings books. We both loved reading the books and when we both turned 12, we could watch the movies (we were 11 at the time). My birthday is on May the 15th, his May the 26th. Time flew by as we were so excited to watch the movies. When i turned 12, i got the dvd's of all the 3 films, but i made a promise to my friend we would watch them together for the first time so, i waited until his 12th birthday. As soon as we came home from school, we made popcorn and watched them all in one sitting. It was an absolute joy to watch them. We both loved gaming so when we heard that there would be coming a LEGO Lord of the Rings game, we "jumped holes in the ceiling" my mom said. We waited for what seemed like YEARS for the game to release. And when the time had finally come, we rushed to the store and bought 1 disc. As soon as we got home we put in my xBox 360 and played it every, single, day. Make homework as soon as you come home frome school? No, play LEGO Lord of the Rings. We completed it in like 2 - 3 weeks. We knew there was an upcoming move from The Hobbit. We also loved reading the books of The Hobbit so when we heard that, we couldn't be more excited. The movie got released 2 or 3 weeks after we completed playing LEGO Lord of the Rings so we didn't have to wait long. Again, we rushed home after school to watch the new movie (our moms had gotten the movies for us). We loved it. We pulled an all-nighter. Around the time when the 2nd The Hobbit movie got released, my friend got sick. We first thought it was just a simple cold so we ignored it. But he didn't got any better so, he went to the doctor and it turned out he got Stage 3 cancer. We of course were in absolute shock. In a short period of time, it got worse and worse and he had to go to the hospital. He couldn't do much except lay in bed (this was around Christmas). The 2nd Hobbit movie had just released but this time, it didn't feel good. We couldn't pull an all-nighter and watch it as we did with the previous ones. As Christmas gift, i have him the 2nd Hobbit movie. We both were so excited to watch it together, even though it had to be different this time (i hadn't seen it yet). We had such joy watching it in the hospital. A few months had passed and things still wouldn't get better. Around our birthdays, things even got so bad he had to move to an other hospital. Things went a little better, but again around November things got really really bad. He sadly passed away, a few weeks before the 3rd movie got released. I couldn't stop crying for weeks. It felt so bad to watch the movie without him. When LEGO The Hobbit came out, i played it on the exact same place as we used to play together. The soundtracks, the books, the movies, the games, it all reminds me of him. Especially the soundtracks. Every year around our birthdays and christmas, i listen to this to feel more connected again. (And Matthew, if you see this, i collected all the coins as you always wanted me to do) I miss you
This is the first comment section I’ve come to where I truly want to read them all. It’s amazing to know that this music and these movies had as big of an impact on others as it did me. For a brief moment in a child’s life I was saved when I needed it most by these movies. “A wizard is never early, nor is he late. He arrives precisely when he means to.”
The BOOKS were what had such an impact on me as a boy in high school, the movies not so much and especially that travesty The Hobbit series of movies, however, I do understand how you feel.
@@Wookie120 personally I find the movies easier to be impacted by tbh, I absolutely adore the books with all my heart and soul, but it's quite difficult to go through. Not in a bad way at all, but I find the movies something I can go to any time.
Anyone else want to go join me and live in the Shire? Or Rivendell. I want a place to relax with some tea, music, and a book. The Lord of the Rings is such a great series, thank you professor Tolkien for making us all feel like kids :)
I’m currently laying by the fire with my 1 year old son on a freezing January night. This music is just what I needed to make things perfect. Thanks for posting this.
When I get to Heaven I'm going to look around and then coming up to God I'm going to say, "Lord, this is wonderful, thank you for your love. Now, excuse me, but where is the hobbit section. You see Sire, I'm a big folk but I feel a need for my beloved Shire." And there, I think I will find Frodo, Sam, Pippin, Merry, Bilbo and plenty of elves, dwarves and a wizard named Gandalf. Next door, by the way, is Narnia.
*bows* I think you have already found many... But I love LOTR more than anything... I've literally read the books 36 times (all of them, Hobbit and LOTR) and counting... and I have watched the movies just as much... so now the question I believe is: Where in Middle Earth are you?
@Mia Galden ha ha ha! How's life in a hole under a hill? It sounds like a jolly life there in the Shire, When this Quarentine is over we will be reunited!😉👍
Why is there this aching longing in my heart ? Could it be that we live in a world not truly meant to be? Somehow we allowed the wicked to arise and take control of the life that we were meant to have. It is a trying time that we face in this the "fourth age". I don't know how, but we must find a way to win this struggle. We daily fight against all things that would not only take but kill the very heart of kindness.
Ahh, The Shire, home like no other. Even though I am 6 feet tall I have always thought of myself as either a Dwarf or a Hobbit, I am just drawn to them, but Hobbits most of all. They are honest and hardworking and also know how to have a good time. Yeah, I am a 6 foot Hobbit, through and through! Go figure :D
This music makes me feel a certain way that I can't describe. I love the Hobbit/LOTR, but this music makes me feel homesick almost. I literally cannot describe it. I absolutely love this ambiance. One of my favorites of yours. Great job
@@SleuthingSherlock, it touches those certain feelings that we all have when thinking about places we'd love to see and experience. It also hearkens to the familiar sights and smells of home...
It does the same for me. As many others have said, it makes you homesick for a place you have never been. I would really like to hear this music in a live concert someday. Maybe even with the movie running in the background. But I think, just the music would do the trick for me.
I have always wished I was an Elf, we all probably have. It comforts me to know that there is still Hope and Love of The Lord Of The Rings.. I hope that you all realise that. Middle Earth really is amazing. You never know what will happen once you step outside your little Hobbit Hole.
Sam: This is it. Frodo: What? Sam: If I take one more step... it'll be the furthest from home I've ever been. At that moment, I loved how Sean Astin portrayed Sam. He's filed with uneasiness and uncertainty - and maybe a bit of fear? - but he understands the magnitude of the situation, this task that is before him and Frodo. Declining the mission is out of the question. So he ventures forth.
@Annabelle Rowley and if sam had the ring he wouldnt have made it without frodo. Both are brave and heroic in their own ways. it is unfortunate that the movies didnt show the dynamic of their relationship better... my only complaint of an otherwise magnificently done book to video translation.
My wife and I love LOTR! We love it even more after spending 2 weeks exploring all of New Zealand last year! The entire drive we listened to the LOTR soundtracks! Now when we watch the movies it makes us sad because we just want to be back in New Zealand. Very beautiful country. We recently pulled off the ultimate movie marathon! We watched all LOTR and Hobbit extended movies in one day! Took us over 22 hours! Made a blanket fort and she cooked up a bunch of Hobbit themed meals! It was the best day adventure ever!
Listening to the music makes me sad and wish that The Hobbit and Lord of The Rings was real just so I could visit all these places and meet the people.
The fact that they exist in our minds; that is more real than most of the things we experience everyday. Imagination is an organ of perception, and what we are perceiving is something very real indeed.
Amazing ! I have been through a tough time recently and always loved these movies since they came out 20 years ago. Coming back to the music again helps me feel calm and peaceful. Bless everyone involved in the movies and music and Tolkien himself X
