LYRICS:
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

[@Daelyah]

What gets me is the double meaning to this song: Bilbo's farewell to his dwarven brothers...and the last cinematic chapter we have of Middle-Earth...

[@trankhanh1444]

Yep

Yup

the fact that you have a whole playlist dedicated to LOTR's and the Hobbit made me a subscriber :)

Anything with LOTR wins me over... and the fact that Peter Hollens is a great singer.

I subscribed just now when I heard that.

"Peter Hollens A Cappella Performance of “The Last Goodbye” from The Hobbit ---> The combination of the talent, harmony and pure emotion in this stunning performance of this Billy Boyd cover from the highly acclaimed motion picture, "The Hobbit" is absolutely beautiful!"

[@AyalaAngel]

+Abubakr Chalid I cried as well. And I guess I will do so every damn time I will see the movie ^^ so sad. Still I think the saddest death was Thorin. What he said at the end and Bilbo desperatly trying to keep him with him... =( Not to mention this goosebump-making scene at the end when the humans play the horns of dale for the fallen king.

I discovered LotR when my dad bought The Hobbit for me to read when i was 7. I put the book on my top shelf and discovered it two years later. Having nothing else to read, I tried it. It changed my life.

[@andrewchristian1479]

Anna Kathryn how foolish of you to forget about having such a masterpiece on your shelf (even though you probably didn't know the real value of the book at that age) XD

[@simplystupid1429]

Andrew Christian true. Best decision ever. 😄😄

[@Moonsfire62]

+SimplyStupid LOL...so glad you got bored and read it. I ended up buying an illustrated collectors edition of "The Lord of the Rings" because I loved the books so much and wore out my paperback editions re-reading them. Still need to find a good hardback of the Hobbit...which I remember being introduced to in my English class when I was in 7th grade. That got me going on the rest of the books and into Science Fiction/Fantasy novels.

[@samcochran8203]

@@Amalina-zu5em why can't you?

[@raspberryjam3724]

What I love about this song is that Billy Boyd is saying he'll miss his friends, but they have their separate journeys to make. Maybe someday their journeys will intersect again, but for now they have to go about their lives and hope they'll meet again. The whole song isn't actually about saying goodbye, although it does talk about that. It's about the passing of time, the good past you've had with friends and the unknown future. Will you ever see them again? Only time will tell. But until then, hope. Have faith. Live and love. Don't worry about your friends. They'll be fine. Just focus on your own life, and maybe someday, your paths will indeed cross once more.

My husband died June 9th, 2024. He loved the Lord of the rings movies... and he loved listening to you sing, Peter Hollens!!! I still love listening to you and your wife sing! You bring comfort to me in your songs, you both sing so beautifully, you are truly blessed! As I watched this video, I just felt this was truly the best song to play at the end of his funeral this Saturay June 29th, 2024, it will be his way of bidding everyone who knew him a final farewell, thank you Peter for singing this song!! My husband found your music just after you appeared on the show "The Sing Off", and we have many of your CD's! In addition, my husband told me that he wanted "Amazing Grace" that you sang with Home Free played at his funeral, it is the first song. He knew he was dying from kidney failure, and it was just a matter of time, we just didn't expect it to happen so soon or so quickly! He went into the hospital on June 2nd, his kidneys were failing, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone... but not forgotten! I miss him so much.... 😢

[@kurisucosmo7954]

"We came all this way.... but now comes the day to bid you farewell..." These lines will never cease to make me cry :'( I'm not ashamed to say I cried like a baby when I heard this song in the theaters. I just couldn't bear the thought that this is really the end..... we have to say goodbye forever to these characters, their stories.... this world that Tolkien and Peter Jackson brought us all to love. Well, at least I can say proudly: I bid the world of Middle Earth a very fond farewell

[@BenitaPrins]

+Kristine Silmaro Funnily enough I scrolled to your comment just as he was singing that line :) Just wanted to say there is NO WAY anyone needs to say farewell to Middle-earth! Read the books, they never get old :)

[@kurisucosmo7954]

True true. I have all 3 LOTR books, the Hobbit, and Children of Hurin. I need to work on getting the Simarillion. The books will be there for us for all time. I guess we're only saying farewell to the Peter Jackson Middle Earth

[@BenitaPrins]

[@kurisucosmo7954]

Benita J. Prins IKR???! I'm kind of stuck in this love/hate relationship with that book. I love reading it because all the characters are so interesting and kind of twisted for Tolkien. But at the same time, I hate all the horrible stuff that they do and that happens to them

[@saraj.7743]

I am always astonished by your voice. the lord of the rings covers are my favorites (though they are all amazing.) when I listen to your voice I immediately just forget all that's wrong in this world. you probably hear this a lot, but your voice really sounds like what you would imagine an angel to sound like. you are so talented.

[@rachaelfalgout456]

You could always do the songs/poems Tolkien wrote, such as the poem of Tinuviel (this is actually being sung in Elvish by Aragorn in the extended version of the movies). Of course, you would have to write your own rhythms and pick your own key, since there is no music written for any of those; though I doubt it would be a difficult task for you :) Love the cover, Peter! Keep up the good work, we all love hearing you sing! (:

[@PeterHollens]

Ooooo where do I find links to that? Rachael Falgout

[@rachaelfalgout456]

***** You can find the English lyrics in "The Fellowship of the Ring" (pages 216-218, but they may be on different pages in different editions. It's in chapter 11, "A Knife in the Dark.") If you were interested in the Elvish translation, I could totally direct you to someone that speaks/reads/writes fluent Elvish. Otherwise, you could find any other songs/poems by Tolkien in any one of his books, or even online. Another awesome one is Aragorn's Coronation song (he sings this in the last few scenes of "The Return of the King.") It is quite beautiful! (Wow! Sorry for the overload of information!)

[@debran940]

***** , oh, wow. Thank you. Makes me feel so good inside to know you think something of mine is a good idea. So very appreciated. I've been so very sick, lately and am headed to a specialist for my rare disease Thursday. Its just for one portion of what's started to go wrong but of serious concern; my cervical spine so off to a neurosurgeon to take a closer look & see what exactly is going on & what is needed/options (if any), etc. I will admit that i am scared. So, thank you for sending this & I am ever grateful I saw it before having to leave. I've no idea what my life's journey is about. Been questioning so much lately. But, its nice to know I've gotten to speak to some amazing people/interact w/ some people I'd have never discovered if NOT for being so sick; one of those is you. I'm here at home and KZbinrs, such as yourself, have helped keep my head above the crashing waves in deep water that constantly pulls me under. Thank you, Mr. Hollens & ***** for making beautiful music that I love & can share w/ my family as I go through my journey, wherever is leads me, as far as I go. Means the world. My world....my soul. I'm smiling b/c of your simple words, to me....b/c you thought i had a good idea. Sounds so silly and yet, gave me hope. :) Thank you for that. Don't stop doing that for people. You never know what they are going through or just how much it truly impacts them or on what level you reach them. Sending good thoughts and prayers to you and the family. -Tiffany

Sam Gilley Why does the wind blow? I don't know it just does! 😃

[@thegamesforreal1673]

Well the wind blows because the clouds in the atmosphere block sunlight as well as the day-night cycle and a couple other effects mean the sun warms the earth at different rates in different places, causing warmer and colder pockets of air, which causes warmer air rising to create low pressure areas and cold air sinking to create high pressure areas, and the air then moves from high to low pressure areas which we call wind! Peter hollens remains a mystery though... Couldn't resist, i'm sorry!

[@tomd7218]

that made my brain hurt :p

[@mitchellblaylock4483]

It is actually quite simple. colder air rushes in to even out the lower pressures where warm air rised

[@adamabele785]

because he can!

[@tipoftheiceberg7034]

This was just as beautiful as the original

[@oliviadeligan]

But in a different way! Which i love!

[@scshufran251]

NOT even close to the original by Billy Boyd!!!

[@annapoole1496]

I think it was even better!

[@anadoesthings2999]

i saw the light feed 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 my silver streams that run down to the sea under cloud beneath the stars over snow and winter smog i turn at last, two paths that lead home and oh where the road then takes me, i can not tell we came all this way, but now comes the day to bid you farwell many places i have been, many sorrows i have seen but i dont regret nor will i forget all that 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 my silver streams that run down to the sea to these memorys i will hold with your blessing i will go to turn at last to paths that lead home and oh where the road then takes me i can not tell we came all this way but now comes the day to bid you farwell (instrumental) i bid you all, a very fond farewell

[@belisauros370]

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 one 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 the 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

[@belisauros370]

you got some of it wrong

[@rrwolfpax]

Our son chose this song to wrap his Eagle ceremony. All these movies have been a huge part of his life. Peter, your songs and videos have been also. Your efforts have yielded many hours of great music in our home and discussions of music and life. Blessings to you and your family for the blessings you and your wife have brought to me and mine. Many thanks.

[@loicjikko]

I'm actually watching this right after hearing about Christopher Lee's death. My entire childhood is being hit....this cover is just like a flashback to 12 year old me reciting the movie's lines and scenes...

[@This_Legend]

I broke the replay button....XD

[@ultimatekingbones]

Amazing

[@chrissmith4134]

Amazing! Wish I could sing like that!

[@joaopolainas]

GUYS HE LOOKS JUST LIKE CHRIS EVANS AT THE START OF THE VIDEO

[@pluto1093]

OMG YES

[@marionbaggins]

I Was About To Point That Out!!!!

[@franciscofranco7203]

Peter I'm a new but very huge fan of yours, I was wondering a song by your wife and yourself duet of course. A song originally sung by marc Anthony and Tina arena- I want to spend my lifetime loving you. Theme song from the mask of Zorro. I think you guys would do a wonderful and incredible rendition of your own. Thank you and please keep up the incredible and amazing work

[@PeterHollens]

I'll check out both of those, thanks for the suggestions :)

[@franciscofranco7203]

Anytime. Huge fan God bless your family and may he bless your talents and gifts as well

[@travelerphoenix22]

Thank you thank you thank you - from the bottom of this Tolkien fan's heart = THANK YOU! I knew this was coming and I think this was the quickest that I teared up with any of your songs (under five seconds or so).

[@PeterHollens]

I'll check out The Houses of Healing travelerphoenix22 is there a link to that?

[@Glorfindel_117]

It's not Liv Tylers' version, its the original. I believe she wrote it? But yes, Peter, PLEASE do it if you can find the time. :D

[@RachelHardy]

Hey Peter!!! I'm Rachel, and I also did a cover of this song!! My cover got me my first 350k views! I think we should collab ;) It's an out-there dream but just saying... you have the best voice ever.

[@JaceFincham]

Rachel Hardy Heck yeah, you guys totally should!!

[@mrbob806]

Rachel Hardy I second this motion! *****, you should consider it =)

[@SinKieran]

Rachel Hardy ***** You guys should definitely collab :D

[@WingCommanderAE24]

You definitely Should do a collab on that one that would f*king amzing and mindblowing

[@pankopanda]

I absolutely love that you love lord of the rings

[@impishDullahan]

Its not from the movies but I've always liked Tom Bombadil's song from The Fellowship of The Ring. It would be really cool if you could convert to A Capella. Also, I'm pretty sure that there's more songs from the movies. Because Ents are just cool, their song from The Two Towers would also be just cool. You know, slow it down and add some deep reedy voices like bass clarinets.

[@PeterHollens]

Braibow, The Fifth Great King I'll have to look that up! Sounds awesome :)

[@impishDullahan]

Now that I think about it, I prefer The Ents' Marching Song. Either way, the Ents are a beautiful race.

[@kailanirhys6107]

My 19 year old fur baby had to cross the rainbow bridge 3 months ago. This song and the way you sing it makes rivers flow when i listen to it. But it was so so so much help in dealing with it. Thank you so so so very much for your rendition of this lovely song!

[@derphoof3865]

Peter hollens you ass you've missed the two greatest songs in the entire lord if the rings series "potatoes" and "blunt the knives" I can't forgive such a travesty.

[@bryanbane6573]

4 years later I scratch my head at this comment since he did do blunt the knives.

[@Emma-xc1qi]

Thank you Peter Hollens for singing this song.

[@laurenmackintosh5233]

Amazing as usual Peter!! I was wondering if you could maybe cover John Legends "All of Me" it's a fantastic song:):)

[@PeterHollens]

Lauren Mackintosh Thank you!! I'll definitely look into that :)

[@stephenpatterson2860]

Ohhhhhhhhhh this idea....!!

[@Lundy.Fastnet.Irish_Sea]

***** can you do a hunchback of notre dame (disney) medley sometime?

[@margaret_adelle]

Geofanny Yohanes So much yes to this. It's such an underrated Disney movie, but the music is gorgeous.

[@michaelgazdecki]

***** But do it with Evynne, that would make it even better!

[@adambierstedt920]

Have you done "In Dreams" yet Peter? Also, really well done here!

[@PeterHollens]

Adam Bierstedt NOPE! I need to! Which is your favorite version? Link?

[@jedimoose32]

***** If Adam replies with a different link then definitely take his, but here's the basic version: /watch?v=Ha-FS_CHmGw

[@gildragon]

***** kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpKQd4aVeK2gfdk I'm pretty sure that is the song Adam is referrign to

[@adam_g.]

Yes he has.

[@shoshannahowey3584]

You need a flute player, ***** ? 'Cause I'm over here. Just waiting.

[@martinlamb6122]

Awesome! Now everyone will stop posting this as a suggestion! (JK) Please please please do... Narnia Newsies Dick van Dyke Tribute Super Mario Bros Blue Skies Marvel Medley and I Am The Doctor (which is in 7/8). Thanks! To my fellow commenters: Wherefore art thou likes? May thy likes resonate throughout the hills! FOR NARNIA!

[@martinlamb6122]

Also Harry Potter and Star Trek. Or just XTREME FANDOM MEDLEY!!! TARDIS SAUCE!!!

[@evec.tremblay377]

Dear M. Hollens, I would like to thank you for all the things you are doing. Especially the songs about "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit". These movies helped me to see life with more determination and optimism. Every single times I listen to one of those songs you did, particularly "The Last Goodbye", I cannot help but be moved and cry. You have such a beautiful voice and it makes me smile. Thank you a lot. I have a wish, if I could be so bold as to ask it...; I wish you would do "Saturn" by Sleeping at Last. This song is one of my favorite, it speaks about how rare and beautiful is our existence ... Thank you again for all that you have done, The Forgotten...

[@gui-haume]

Hello peter, you did an awesome cover as usual. You talk about other songs of the Lord of the Rings, there is one that i love: The Houses of Healing (by Liv Tyler) from the return of the king extended version. Anyway, keep up to make us dream.

[@PeterHollens]

OMG! What is the link to that ?!?!? I'll check it out ASAP!! Guillaume Morawiec !!!

[@EstelienMayalinn]

Guillaume Morawiec Thank you for sharing this! I did not know there was a complete version of this song! (A good reason for me to revisit the extended editions)

[@gui-haume]

You're welcome! The complete version is very rare. I found it by pure coincidence. There so many beautiful songs in these films, it's indeed a good reason to review.

[@EstelienMayalinn]

Guillaume Morawiec I absolutely love the extended movies and especially the music. I am glad there is a complete version of this song. I only remember it in fragments. This is the "magic" of youtube. People can help others find these sort of gems. Again, thank you!

[@Schattenfluegel89]

This song is totally awesome! In Dreams would be great, but maybe a bit hard to cover it as acapella. But i would really wish other songs from you. 1) "That´s what Bilbo Baggins hates" from the firt Hobbit Movie (a Hobbit/LotR song you haven't done so far ;) ) 2) I think it's called "Yo Ho" from Pirates of the Carribean as an own song outside the Medley. You could say something like a single^^ 3) "Now We are Free" from the movie Gladiator 4) "The Dragonborn Comes" from Skyrim (but Malukah already did a version of this, still a male voice could be really awesome with this song) Maybe one of these songs would be also wished by other members of the hollens Family =)

[@PeterHollens]

+Schattenfluegel89 All of those suggestions sound awesome, I'll definitely keep them in mind. Thanks!

[@graceblack1057]

Yes! The Dragonborn Comes!

[@SummonerOrthan]

Grace Black Agreed! that would be cool

[@Schattenfluegel89]

Mike and the Mechanics - Word of Mouth would also be awesome =)

[@melodyfussell829]

That's What Bilbo Baggins Hates definitely needs an a cappella cover XD

[@yessyaruan2010]

Peter Hollens and The Hobbit FOREVER WOOOO

[@doug538i]

To all people who think the Hobbit is the last time you will see Middle Earth on the big screen just remember the English copyright laws state that 70 years (Under the 1995 regulations) after the death of the author the material is free to use. The debate will be if JRR is the true author of the Silmarillion/Lost Tales (The only real way to make more Movies/TV shows). JRR may have written the material but his son Christopher finished and published both works so its up for debate who actually "wrote it". So lets do some math. If JRR Wrote it: Died in 1973 so its 27 years to 2000 2000+43( The remaining # of years) = The year 2043 (Best Case Scenario) If Christopher Wrote it: Still alive but 90 years old (lets assume he will die within 5 years, kind of rude I know) 2015,2020 +70 = Between the years of 2085 and 2090 (Worse Case Scenario) I'm not a legal expert so i'm sure this will be debated endlessly in courts. But in the end money talks so i'm sure we will be seeing one much sooner after all in the words of JK Rowling “There's always room for a story that can transport people to another place.”

[@legoaxel8695]

But still Billy Boyd that write this song.

[@blackinkpen]

I would love to hear your rendition of In Dreams (from the last part of The Breaking of the Fellowship)! This was phenomenal!

[@PeterHollens]

Do you have a link to it Samie Luc

[@wanbawmcgraw3022]

If you like folk music, i would love to hear you do The Green Fields of France.

[@PeterHollens]

I'll check that out! :)

[@wanbawmcgraw3022]

***** Thanks

[@periaadoc]

Oh Yes. that Would be awesome. Listen to The High Kings Version. Its right up your Alley :)

[@cindyfields6557]

I am not usually a crier, but I must say.... I cried so hard when I heard you singing this. It made me think of my Dad so intensely. I lost him unexpectedly when I was 19. He was such a kind and loving soul who always said not to think of death as an end, but the beginning of an even better journey. Though it's a last goodbye it's not an eternal goodbye and I will take my memories of this journey with me everywhere. This just hit me with my memories of him so hard I like a baby and I am 37.. lol...Absolutely amazing!!!

[@sirrabbitthered8496]

Its now July 30, 2019 and im still hearing this song.

[@animalabbie76]

Who else is crying?

[@PeterHollens]

***** awww

[@ScrollPirateNikki]

Yo. (casually wipes tears away. you saw nothing)

[@rebeccaweigel4457]

Me! I started tearing up at the first note...

[@ashtonlea2860]

ahahaha certainly not me

[@WingCommanderAE24]

***** you better ask who isn't. that list would be much shorter and easier to handle

[@SjokoOfficial]

Superb! Will miss the LOTR and Hobbit movies and your versions of their songs!

[@PeterHollens]

Sjoko Me too :( Glad you liked the songs

[@miaj1391]

How about the song "Time to say goodbye"? It´s a very awesome title ;)

[@PeterHollens]

I'll look into it! :)

[@miaj1391]

***** Thank´s a lot ;)

[@calebsanchez5651]

Mia 007 rwby, right?

[@taylorb9484]

Caleb Sánchez Either the RWBY song or the Andrea Bocelli song would be amazing. :)

[@calebsanchez5651]

Albus Nix oh! Completely forgot about that one. Yes, I agree.

[@senzabean]

I really want to learn this song to sing around the campfire during overnight LARPs.

[@XeinaW00t]

This song is one of the many reasons why I bought your Misty Mountains album, your voice is amazing, and you are so very talented. I get shivers up my spine and tears form in my eyes. Keep it up!

[@haleyw.7830]

Ooh please please do Blunt the Knives!!!!!

[@PeterHollens]

Haley W. I'm definitely considering :) :)

[@haleyw.7830]

***** thank you for responding!! woo hoo!! I will be definitely looking forward to that!! 😃

[@jj_hoolio]

***** YES, that would be AWESOME!!! :D

[@darksev.6468]

I think you should try doing songs sung by The Tolkien Ensemble. The ones written in the books... I like their version of Edge of Night, the song sung by Peregrin Took to Denethor in Gondor, more than the movie version though.

[@tikerlivvy1582]

I absolutely LOVE lotr and th and THIS made me cry🥺 So beautiful, I can't describe it... Just wow! I'm speechless...

[@SirValithor]

The Road Goes Ever On! I would love to see you cover this song! It's just so intriguing and has a really catchy rhythm that gets stuck in my head all the time. Please do a cover! *****

[@PeterHollens]

Aaron Van Zoeren I'll check it out thanks aaron!!!

[@xkoala303x]

Play this song at my funeral

[@wulffulsdurps1888]

have you ever thought about singing anything from Le Miserables? with your tone and vibrito it would sound incredible:)

[@arcuesfanatic]

+wulffuls durps He did a medley for it a while back.

[@gianna526]

Oh my gosh I was scrolling through my lotr Playlist, and I noticed a bunch of the titles were different, and I had a heart attack. Lmao I guess he decided to change the titles all of the sudden, that scared me.

[@austinherby9218]

This was amazing, easily my favorite song from the entire series. There are a few shorter, smaller songs from the films left, most only about a minute, the ones coming to mind instantly are "Blunt the Knives", "The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late" and "The Green Dragon" Probably a few other short songs I missed as well. Also it's nice that you acknowledge the comments, it really brightens my day to see a response, even something as simple as an "awesome" or "yeah" or even "thank you" just makes it seem like commenting still has a purpose.

[@PeterHollens]

Byrnvif Baldenvif THIS IS SO HELPFUL!!! Where is the best place to go to hear the best versions to work on of these songs? I would love to do all of these if I can pull them off!! Thanks man!!

[@lizzyr.1541]

***** Omg, please do Blunt the Knives!!!!!!!!! I would be so happy to see that happen!

[@nicholascain7584]

***** A few more are "Houses of Healing," "Hymn to Elbereth," "Hey, ho to the bottle I go," "The Walking Song" (that one might need a little extra), and "Elendil's Oath." As for the best place to hear them, I could provide links, if you'd like. They should all come up with a google search otherwise.

[@nicholascain7584]

Oh yes. And don't forget "In Dreams." That one's HUGE. On top of that, it has a bit of the Fellowship's theme in the accompaniment, which should be very fun.

[@lukestevenson8615]

Definitly all of those!! Byrnvif Baldenvif

[@lotrings1]

I believe that if that great storyteller, J.R.R. Tolkien, were still alive today, he would have had some choice words to say to Peter Jackson about the direction of the Hobbit films but would be very pleased with what Billy Boyd and you have accomplished with The Last Goodbye. I tip my hat to you, sir. Job well done!

[@PeterHollens]

Thank you Stephen Loyd, and my hat to you! :D

[@kaykaykyat]

OMG ! *I ADMIT IT I CRIED !!* Awwww so beautiful! U rock Peter ! I love ur style #YRML

[@nathancruz9172]

This is my favorite song 🎵 from the battle of 5 armies.

[@riyakumar8932]

Sooo Beautiful! Takes me right back to Middle Earth! The time of The Hobbit. I see the movie, the story and all just coming back to me in my mind. Just breath-taking.

[@austinherby9218]

You know Peter, these A Capella's really make writing an essay easier.

[@michaelar4477]

Wow, this is amazing. It's so nice to have your favourite youtuber do covers of all the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit songs. And I would also like you to do Blunt the Knives. And what would also be absolutely wonderfully amazing is if you could do a cover of Diggy Diggy Hole. It is a REALLY great song! Plus you have the perfect voice for it. :)

[@lukestevenson8615]

Indeed

[@00zero623]

Where is this place it is really beautiful place.

[@ElenionMoonlight117]

Infinite thank you Peter!!! You have made an awesome work with this beautiful song!! :) Thank you, thank you; You are amazing!!!

[@PeterHollens]

Noemi Tavera You are amazing for saying so Noemi!!!!

[@ElenionMoonlight117]

[@faye61]

how meny of you cried at this song in the movies

[@shixunie8081]

If God have a voice, it is like that.

[@jhonon1]

All of your music is great, but this one of those that never fails to give me chills and unexpected emotion
