Documentary - Creating "The Last Goodbye" by Billy Boyd

[@TheRickie41]

A wonderful way to say goodbye. Billy Boyd catches that moment perfectly with his tender, loving voice.

[@Westminstrelsy]

@@TheRickie41 Absolutely… Billy’s delicate voice is just perfect for this song and the sentiment it conveys. ♥️

[@BukJoy]

* 6+ years ago * As someone who've watched the extended and deleted scenes , played all the games and watched all the clips , and even watched the production of the movies , nothing brings the trilogy (even the hobbit trilogy) together like good music . Edge of night and misty mountains are some of my favorite pieces of all time and middle earth lore will always be in my heart ever since I was a child .

[@Westminstrelsy]

I get you about the music being the fabric that binds the two trilogies together. I could close my eyes and listen to the soundtracks, and instantly be taken not just to Middle-earth but back to the time in my life when I first discovered them. Beautiful nostalgia! ☺️

[@BukJoy]

@@Westminstrelsy omg you replied lmao I was not expecting that !

[@huggyhuggsbears1265]

A beautifully moving song, so beautifully composed and Billy Boyd's voice just makes it more poignant as he has worked and lived through the films, his experiences and memories come pouring through in his singing. Just like with the movies, I'll never tire of this song. Showing both Alan Lee's & John Howe's beautiful artwork was the icing on this "epic' cake.

[@Westminstrelsy]

Yes yes yes yes yes. It’s exactly all of this that really makes this song so poignant. ☺️

[@johnsmith45542]

This kinda stuff makes me love The Hobbit. Just the amount of time they spent on the end cards and song. It's amazing.

[@Westminstrelsy]

It is very rewarding to see the effort they put into the music and the end credits sequences. ☺️

[@rowanaforrest9792]

In addition to this beautiful music, that artwork they used for the end credits is so gorgeous!

[@matiushehakaya9932]

I was literally crying when the first chord rang at the end of the movie.

[@Westminstrelsy]

It is indeed a very melancholic song and speaks not just to the ending of The Hobbit but to the end of the Peter Jackson era of Middle-earth. I think for fans of the LOTR films, this song was really a “last goodbye” in that sense. 🥲

[@TheShadowPhantom1]

I'm sad I haven't found this coverage before now, even if it's a reupload of sorts. It solidifies every aspect of what Billy and the crew wanted to communicate and it's a beautiful collage of the struggle to represent everything they wanted shown.

[@Westminstrelsy]

It does feel very melancholic and evocative of the books for sure. Both within the story, and with regard to the production crew - the passing of an Age. Glad you found the video! ☺️

[@EmilyCheetham]

[@JoshuaC923]

Billy's voice and his part in the movies really put the emotion in the song for the audience, brilliant!

[@Westminstrelsy]

Yes for sure. It was a brilliant idea picking him for the end credits song.

[@docdelta]

I love all 6 end credit songs, and though Annie Lennox’s Oscar is totally deserved and though Enya is my private Goddess of Music, this song is the one which touches me the most.

[@Westminstrelsy]

I feel you on this. This song is really the culmination of a journey that, for many of us, began in the early 2000s. I think it has an added layer of nostalgia because of that. 🙂

[@Maraaass]

This song makes me immediately tear up. It's such a masterpiece and I can't imagine anyone else singing it other than Billy Boyd. Such an amazing last goodbye and a farewell to those films, Tolkien and the fans. It holds so many memories of us watching those movies and them making those. I genuinely think all that was such a beautiful love letter of Peter Jackson and everyone who worked on both trilogies.

[@Westminstrelsy]

You’ve summed it up beautifully. ♥️

[@rachelroberts56]

i would have loved all of the actors who were left to do like a choir situation (just on the chorus ) x

[@JacobSupertramp]

I love that Billy took advice from the great Ian Holm. Giving a kaleidoscope of lyrics and notes so as Fran & Peter can adjust to their liking. Beautiful & creative man. As well as a fantastic learner.

[@elliot7593]

The song acts as closure to a portion of our lives watching these films and saying goodbye to Middle Earth for the last time.

[@Westminstrelsy]

Yes, yes it does. I think we all have personal stories that go along with these films and the 20 years that span them.🥹

Just watching a mini documentary on one of the songs from the Hobbit trilogy really drives home how much more Peter Jackson and everyone involved in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films actually cared about Tolkien's work and the fans when compared to the dumpster fire that the Rings of Power was. I think more care and thought was put into this one song than the entirety of the Rings of Power series.

[@D00GNUKEM.]

Did you read the hobbit. Because it’s pretty clear at least the writers and director of the movie couldn’t care less about respecting Tolkien’s work. Absolute trash trilogy

[@kennycarver1774]

@@D00GNUKEM. Yes, I have read the books multiple times. While there are definitely differences and lots of things left out completely, I understand why they had to leave things out in the movies because otherwise the movies would have needed to be like twice as long, which I would have been fine with, but that's Hollywood I guess. Production companies want to see results and there are timelines and such. Some changes and things left out I don't really understand, but I never got the sense from those movies that the writers and directors didn't try to capture Tolkien's themes and the basic structure of the books. Whereas if you look at the Rings of Power it's almost unrecognizable when compared to the works it is supposed to be based on.

[@kennycarver1774]

@@D00GNUKEM. Also, just to be clear, I was comparing the amount of care that went into the films vs the Amazon series. The films aren’t perfect, but to me, and frankly to the vast majority of Tolkien fans out there, Peter Jackson and the team associated with the movies did an extraordinary job translating the books to film compared to what Amazon did with The Rings of Power.

[@D00GNUKEM.]

@@kennycarver1774 my bad man, I should have been clearer. My main gripe is with the hobbit films specifically. I absolutely love the Lord of the rings trilogy, it’s a masterpiece. But as for The hobbit. They fabricated a whole bunch of nonsense and added stupid recurring characters like legolas who was not in the original book. so they could milk 3x 3 hour movies out of it and beat as much money out of that dead horse as possible. While also simultaneously cutting out excellent parts of the original story that are Tolkien fan favorites. Tom Bombadil for example. I love the lord of the rings. Books and movies. The Hobbit. Is my favourite book of all time. And the movies disgust me. A simultaneous cash grab and slap in the face to real fans of the book. As for rings of power. I can’t comment because I refuse to watch it. I knew it would be terrible the moment they announced it.

[@kennycarver1774]

@@D00GNUKEM. Yeah, I definitely agree with the whole Legolas nonsense, not to mention Tauriel. I honestly didn't dislike that character, but I didn't understand why they felt it was necessary to add in that character and a love story instead of adding in more of awesome characters like Beorn or Tom Bombadil like you said. I think Tom Bombadil is a difficult one though because so little is known of him in general. Despite it's flaws and my little gripes, when you compare it to Rings of Power it's a masterpiece. I think if you watched Rings of Power you would understand, but I definitely don't blame you for not wanting to watch it. It will just infuriate you.
