The Lord of the Rings: Eastfarthing Woods Ambience & Music 

This is the alternative version where Frodo couldn’t hear Gandalf singing and just keeps reading for the whole 3 movies. Absolutely incredible read. Some of Tolkien’s best work

My mom just died of cancer yesterday morning. And I've been listening to this to make me stronger! Rest in peace mom. 😊

I can't begin to describe how brilliant J.R.R. Tolkien and Peter Jackson are that they managed to create together, spread years apart from each other, a world and story with characters that after all these years are still close to my heart so that whenever the path in life seems unclear, I can find consolation in the fiction that they created. Just looking at Frodo in this picture makes my heart glow with joy. Rest in peace Tolkien, you magnificent man, and thank you Peter Jackson for making his masterpiece a reality.

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 like this shot from the movie, because I used to go take my copy of The Lord of the Rings and go hide in the woods so I could read in peace, and spent much of my adolescence sitting under trees reading just like Frodo is doing here.

This music has just reminded me that it's time for my second breakfast.

"You're late." "A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to!" *Breaks out in laughter.*

Lost in the beauty of the day, mind wanders to white shores, lush green fields, the promise of peace and somehow, past the conflicts and tribulations. This music is powerful. Some of the most beautiful sound.

Waiting for that one person to say “i miss a place i have never been”.

I am a mental health therapist and I use this in the background of my sessions. It adds such a calming presence to the environment of my office. TheSilentWatcher, you have no idea the difference and impact that you make in the lives of others by offering videos like this. I can feel that in my personal and professional life as well as from reading the comments posted by others. Thank you.

it makes me proud to live in lancashire, the land that inspired the shire. he went to college in the ribble valley. and he often talked about how beautiful lancashire was and the industrialisation of the shire and Saruman/sauron destruction of the forest was inspired the midlands industrialization.

I’m as big of a Tolkien nerd as they come and I’ve using this video very often for about a year, but today I just had to comment. This year I moved very far from my home and my family for work and I’ve been struggling w some substance abuse. Today I was having a really hard morning (just a bunch of things seemed to be going wrong), so I decided to hop onto RU-vid for a little bit to clear my head. When I saw this video pop up on my homepage again, as it does so frequently, I put it in on in the background and got back to my work. The sounds of middle earth just have this unbelievable ability to transport me somewhere that feels just like home and make all my problem seem so insignificant. “The road goes ever on and on!” Have a wonderful day everyone.

The best books ever written and the most beautiful trio of movies ever seen in my lifetime!

I love Gandalf humming; I could listen to just that for hours......hint hint ;)

I used to watch lotr as a kid but i properly managed to sit down and do a marathon in 2020 during my school years and slo during that time i would put this song as background... A lot of memories tied to this... I remember the walks in the afternoon in the backyard of my house... The golden rays lf the setting sun, the birds chirping and the little pond that me and my brother created looking lively... Also sometimes i would call my friend as well... 4 years later I'm in another country for studies and hearing this brought all those memories back... So much happened since then... But I'm thankful for the memories... Wish i could find peace and happiness again

Ok, so as a total nerd, I adore the extended editions. But at the risk of angering everyone on the planet, I perfer the theatrical editions as movies, and a big part of that comes down to the placement of this shot of Frodo reading. In the theatrical version, there's this dark, dreadful backstory, and Galadriel ends ominously, saying, "For the time will soon come when hobbits will shape the fortunes of all." She's just placed this huge weight on a group of people we know nothing about from this introduction. And then it fades to this shot of Frodo. It's such a beautiful contrast between the epic, dark prologue and the simple, quiet way of the hobbits.

Welcome to your daily dose of Middle Earth

When the cold of Winter comes Starless nights will cover day In the veiling of the sun We will walk in bitter rain But in dreams I can hear your name And in dreams We will meet again When the seas and mountains fall And we come, to end of days In the dark I hear a call Calling me there I will go there And back again

I'm working all day long, studying all day long, there's lot of chaos, but I'm still able to do things effortlessly because of all these LOTR ambience videos. Thanks a lot for you and all other creators for making these. I'm forever grateful to you guys. I'll definitely give a shoutout to you guys when I become bigger and famous.

If your Minecraft village doesn't fit this music, rebuild it. Rebuild it whole. Make it warm, and inviting, and as wholesome and peaceful as a Hobbit reading against a tree can be.

"I made a promise, Mr. Frodo. A promise. Don't you leave him, Samwise Gamgee. Don't you leave him. And I don't mean to. I don't mean to."

Man, how slow does Frodo read?! Three hours and he still didn't flip the page... (Great music and video by the way!)

i’m listening to this while reading the two towers for the first time

When I am having a shite day, and the world is full of shadow and flame...I come here for a listen and re-up of Hope.

Currently in the middle of completing my university dissertation. Brett, your work is seriously helping me get immersed into my work. Thankyou good sir.

this is like water and the smell of soil after a summer rain. Thanks!

This makes me feel understood

This is beautiful, especially since I just spent about $500 on all of Tolkiens works for my own personal Tolkien library. I regret none of it. For too long have I put off collecting that which I love nearly the most. 33 years deep and I finally made the move. This music cements the deal for me. Thank you, friend.

Sitting on my balcony with sun on my face, eyes closed, cool breeze on a late Summer/early Fall smoking an amazing cigar (no pipe unfortunately haha) but this just melts the stress of a long week away. Thank you! I just imagine smoking with Gandalf on the eve of my 111th birthday hahaha

I’m currently re-reading LOTR. Your videos are a fantastic accompaniment!

Such beautiful music and such beautiful feelings it awakens-sincerity, loyalty, kindness, dreams, friendship...It feels as though all of this is like leaves frozen in a drop of amber. It’s a pity that in real life, many people lose all this over the years and choose an empty, materialistic life. No one believes in elves or the beautiful faraway as they once did in their youth. I wish I could meet such a friend, a guy, and together be the heroes of a book in real life.

Can we all give some props to Howard Shore for his sensational scores?

straight to the favourites playlist

Why is a phone more interesting than beautiful outside life? I think ppl tend to forget how big this world is and there is places like that where Frodo is! This world is so manipulating that ppl forget that they don’t have to live like everyone else in this world!! Live your own life even if ppl think ur weird! 😌

why u making me wanna reread whole thing again

What a nice video! When I see Frodo and this awesome forest I feel like I'm there, Shire. Thank you so much. Also greetings from Turkey!

I would journey all the way to New Zealand Just to read a good book beneath a large tree. That would have been a portion of my life spent most wisely.

i love this shot in the 4K remaster

Thank you Brett! I've been looking for this kind of musical LOTR ambience for such a long time. I really appreciate the diversity of musical selections you have included.

dang. thank you. I work 20 hours per day. all day long studying. there is massive amounts of chaos all around me. this relaxing LORD OF THE RINGS is so freaking epic and calming at the same time.... it fills me with a strong sense of peace and purpose!

Between 2:00 and 3:00 is an especially serene favourite. The film version (extended edition) is so lovely, for the pastoral scenery of green grass under the sunshine, the azure sky and its white cumulus clouds, with the woods in the background . . . .

These films, these books and this story have had such an enormous impact on my life. Was first introduced to them when I was around 7, walking with my grandparents and dad at dusk in the woods of a park when my grandma said the trees reminded her of ents. I asked what she meant and her and my dad (who is also a big lotr fan) began telling me about lotr. Me and my dad borrowed the dvds from my grandparents and watched all three and I became obsessed. I got as many toys and figures if the characters and locations as I could, bought toy swords resembling sting, would buy and play all lotr games on ps2 and Xbox 360, would show all my school friends lotr, once begged my mum to buy me a ring on a chain just because I wanted to feel like Frodo lol, would rewatch the films over and over, watched the Bashki version on dvd and took it into school and the whole class watched it, whilst my dad would drive we’d listen to the 1981 bbc radio adaption, I once dressed up as Frodo for world book day at school. Safe to say I was completely obsessed. Then As a teen, I read the books and really enjoyed them. When I’d go to my dads caravan in the countryside, I would lay alone on a night in my room in the dark in the early hours and watch the behind the scenes over and over, felt like being taken to another world for a few hours and was a great escape. I’m 19 now and still love the story. These films, this score, these books and this story will always hold a special solace in my heart. I showed my gf the films but she isn’t as in to them lol. The song I want played at my funeral actually is into the west and use many of the quotes as words to live by in my life “so do all who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide, all we have to do is decide what to do with the time that is given to us” Thank you Tolkien, thank you Peter Jackson and thank you everyone involved for this amazing experience that will always mean so much to me

The moment I first saw LOTR this scene simply captivated me..

Some of the Music feels like home. A home that i never have been, but that still feels like home. During corona especialy. It feels like if i belong there. And how Gandalf somehow told, it feels like Hope. Hope during realy dark time. And warmth and welcome. Like home.

I'm listening to this while studying for my finals and identifying birds coming in my backyard. If there wasn't the noise from my neighbors it would be perfect!

One of my fave ambience videos on RU-vid

Lord of rings movies are the best movies ever made and the music is just amazing thanks for putting it together.

I am really enjoying listening to this while I work. Thank you for posting!

I LOVE THE LORD OF THE RINGS ❤️

My go to compilation when I need to empty my head of daily stresses , it relaxes me so much many heart felt thanks 😊

Thanks to Bilbo's role as an amateurish historian for his Red Book of Westmarch (thus preserving the Great Eldar Tales). He gave Frodo a total of 5 books in all. I do believe the Middle Earth exists. My favorite places are Tower of Elostirion, Ithilien and Gondor. Hail Lord Aragon Telecontar. I love you all so much.

Yaaa a new one shit ya. These are great. A video is never late frodo baggins. It uploads precisely when it means to!!

This sound is so calming. Whoever read this comment I wish you peace of mind, health and relaxation.

I've just recently discovered these Ambience & Music videos and absolutely love them. They are relaxing, comforting, and transporting all at once. Only regret is I didn't discover them sooner! I dedicate one of my screens to an ambience video while working and get so disturbed when I have to pause it to answer the phone. Thank you for this beautiful composition.

What a soundtrack! It brings comfort, happiness and joy to my heart, I cannot explain the feeling, but is one of the greatest feeling I ever had.

Listening to this while working makes me feel warm inside, missing home, the sweet summer heat and the feeling of grass against my back underneath a blue sky...

@Brett Lenahan: I close my eyes while listening to this music and imagine sitting under a tree in Shire. Thanks for this video!!

TLOTR has the best community ever, 0 toxic, everyting is peaceful, love and epic, congratulations if you are part of this

Brett Lenahan...the greatest Brett since Brett Favre. Thank you sir!

In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit.

Beautiful Song

I can't think of any other film (set of films) or soundtrack that stirs the heart and emotions like LOTR, is a testament to the genius of J.R.R. Tolkien and the pure love for it by Peter Jackie and Howard Shore to create the timeless masterpiece. It's the gaelic/celtic lilt of much of the music , heavenly choirs and strings/fiddles/pipes that really hit home as feels like this music has come from a past we once knew, even though our past did not have elves/trolls/dwarfs (or did it?? does it still ??) :0

I wish I could still Feel this.... My job has negated my ability to Feel. God bless all those who still feel Something; some emotions.....You are fortunately beyond belief.... Blessed.

Listening to this while working is awesome.

This is the best compilation of LOTR music. Thank you for putting this together!

I wish there's a way to see how many times I looped this video. I reckon it's a lot. Such a nice video.

Legendary .. Im pretty sure he must be reading LOTR ..

at 11 minutes all I hear, while the music fades to the background, is Gandalf's voice saying: It's time....Frodo....and we get taken by a bird's eye view up the sea where a grey rain curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then, a far green country, under a swift sunrise. Valinor awaits.... Thank you PJ, for making the books come alive right in front of me and not just in my mind. A gift I will never be able to repay you.

This is lovely. McLeland used to make an English tobacco blend called Frog Morton's Cellar. It was amazing. They went out of business and you can no longer get it. "I don't know why, but that makes me sad."

Whoever disliked this should get their ears fixed lol Amazing again!

1:02 This very small piece of music gives me an indescribable feeling of nostalgia and joy. The flute combined with the chilling bass symbolizes for me not only the Shire, but the entire trilogy. One of the best ever made. Just imagine that you are a carefree Hobbit, living a quiet and prosperous life in a green and vibrant world.

at the beggining i tought this is part of a movie and Gandalf will appear omg :D Time to sleep

Lord of the rings is one of the best series to have ever been created.

Shit man I put this on to help study and now I'm about to sit down to watch the extended trilogy. Thanks a lot.

the best lotr mix out there. the most melodic and serene. love it. others too much EPICCC NESSS for the sake of it.

My son is 6 months old. He likes to fall asleep listening to this music. Thank you❤️

There's a feeling that only this moment in time, reading a 1995 edition paper back LOTR with green fields, raining Gandalf has. Howard shore and Peter Jackson in combination with Tolkien has created a fantasy that we all share, an understanding of a loss for something that never existed shared. Wonderful and haunting. Whilst we are all here a fleeting moment we share this with generations to come.

Frodo's life is perfect

Such a peaceful feeling to have whilst working, thank you 😊

I only need to hear, this tune! and my soul begins to smile. 😊🌳 3/4/22. 3:49am Sunday. ❤️🌻

Officially the best ever! Thank you!

I think this is my new favourite

6:59 - 8:20 best sound ever heard

I mean sometimes I have to re-read sentences but damn, this is the most serious case of regression I've seen over the span of 3 hours xD btw, amazing mix and transitions! Listening to this while at work.

*In the evening as the sun sets I sit on my front porch listening to this while smoking my Gandalf tobacco pipe...sheer bliss!*

Musik zum Träumen, danke!

Got to hand it to PJ, especially with the extended edition, the Shire’s introduction in Fellowship makes one yearn for such simple and rural life.

This is making me cry

Those who dislike this are servents of sauran and should remain behind the black gates of Mordor. We shire folk don't need your kind of negativity.

Pls.pray the rosary and devine mercy chaplet to free all countries from war, diseases, calamities, hunger, corruption, drugs, prostitution, abortion, divorce, vices and all evils.pls pray for peace and joy in all families and home.... ..

This quenches the dryness of the soul, and evokes emotions and comfort

this is beautiful. i'm so happy

Wonderful!!! Thank you!!

Really pleasant to listen too in the background!! Thanks so much.

my absolute continuous GO TO! 🎉❤

Howard Shore is brilliant.

What? An actual compilation of soundtracks? All I know is a 3 hour loop of 'Concerning Hobbits'.

I really like your lord of the rings videos! :)

Thank you for this!

one of the greatest movie.
