- “Into the West” by Howard Shore, Fran Walsh and Annie Lennox
As a family that adored the Lord of the Rings, we were so very saddened to hear of Sir Ian Holm’s passing.
Bilbo - we bid you a very fond farewell.
Bilbo's Last Song
“Day is ended, dim my eyes,
But journey long before me lies.
Farewell, friends! I hear the call.
The ship's beside the stony wall
.…..
Ship my ship! I seek the West,
and fields and mountains ever blest.
Farewell to Middle-earth at last.
I see the star above my mast!”
J.R.R Tolkien

Into the West Lyrics
Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
All Souls pass
Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again
And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
When my infant son passed away in January 2021 after a brief but valiant battle with a congenital heart defect it was hard to find a song appropriate to help us say goodbye. Before he was born I bought him a blanket with his name and LOTR characters on it- we draped his tiny coffin with that blanket and this version of Into the West was truly perfect.
:)
So sorry for your loss 😞💕💕💕God's speed and God bless.
Aww I am so sorry for your loss.
❤
❤
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure-
Bilbo Baggins.
Rest now Sir Ian. May you sail safely into the west.
What...did he die??
Yes. He became very old without the Ring😢
Ian isn't dead.
@@jeanafranklin1231 Ian _Holm,_ not McKellen.
Goodbye, dear Bilbo.
PIPPIN: I didn't think it would end this way.
GANDALF: 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.
PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?
GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad.
GANDALF: No. No, it isn't.
Love this
When an angel tries to explain death, you should listen.
When my brother passed away in December of 2022, I'd spend days listening to this song. He was a huge fan of the Lord of Rings trilogy. We'd spent days rewatching these movies until we knew every line.
"All souls pass..."
So peaceful... RIP Sir Ian Holm😢
T^T
Made me cry:(
Listening to her voice takes you away from all the craziness in this world...just for a moment
That's exactly why I listen to it over and over again.
Well, I start and end every single day with her voice.. It gives me hope and power to continue. So i truly understand that...
Listen to "Malinda, Into the West", from,"Lord of the Rings".
This girls voice is utterly perfect. I get goosebumps every time I hear her sing.
Aye, that's a woman, lass.
Same
Yep.
Lost me mum to suicide almost a year ago, she took me and my brother to NZ a long time ago when LOTR was in production. This song breaks me every time I listen to it.
If it was what she could give you, treasure it.
God's speed to your MUM. Rest peaceful🐣
I am truly Sorry for your loss. It is not easy. Keep moving forward you are awesome friend
find the book "life after life", you'll learn many things... ours souls never dies, your mum sees you and your pein is her's too... don't be sad, she will apreciate! god is love and we all will meet him up there, your mum will wait for you...
Oh I’m so sorry to hear this! I hope you understand that your Mum wasn’t meaning to deliberately leave you and your family in pain, she obviously wasn’t very well by the sounds of it and now she’s at peace.
I hope you and your brother still hold onto to those wonderful memories of visiting Aotearoa and then watching The Lord of The Rings to see those beautiful landscapes that your Mum allowed you to see in person. ❤️
Listening to Ella sing is uplifting.
It's a privilege and a gift to hear and see her singing at this time, in a troubled world like ours.
What a beautiful girl!
R.I.P Ian Holm, I hope he is in a far green country under a swift sunrise
I'm certain he is.
“I think I’m quite ready for another adventure!!” ❤️
Anyone who says they didn’t cry watching this, lies. I felt like I was transported to Paradise. Utterly beautiful. RIP Ian Holm, may your journey to the White Havens be a peaceful one
An elvish voice echoing from a talented beautiful woman. That's how I see it.
"Here at last, dear friends, on the shores of the sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-Earth. Go in peace. I will not say: Do Not Weep; for not all tears are evil." - Gandalf
Is it even possible to listen to this song and not cry? Possibly the most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard. I think this is how Tolkien imagined the elves would sing. Thank you for gifting us a glimpse of the undying lands. If Valinor looks anything close to the way this sounds, it must be every bit as breathtaking as they say it is.
It is totally "impossible"not to get tears.
No
Not gonna lie when the final lord of the rings came out, my best friend and I would do a marathon every year of all three back to back and I love that song, but her voice makes it so much better I wanna go watch the trilogy now
We do the same thing bro :-) :-)
In almost 40 years of professionalism as a musician in Italy and Ireland, I must admit that this is the most beautiful Celtic piece I have ever heard in 57 years. Congratulations to Ella, the guitarist and the composer. Both beautiful and good. A hug; your delicacy moved me. Hello from Florence. Ciao.
“A very moving answer!! Paul
My dad was a huge LoTR fan, reread the books multiple times. He died on New Years day of 2004 from a 4 year battle with Cancer. I remember seeing the first two movies with him, but he was too sick to see the last one, so he never got to see it-hearing this song made me sob my eyes out because all I could think about was him. Thank you for this beautiful rendition.
❤️
Your Father would have seen Return of The King in spirit, even if he couldn’t in theatres, and he would have said it was a masterpiece conclusion to the story.
It reminds me of a story when my Uncle’s Dad who passed away probably around the same time as your Dad was taken to see the first one in 2001 after he had some back pain that made sitting for long periods difficult, and he wasn’t a keen Lord of The Rings fan so was looking at his watch continuously and was relieved at the credits thinking it was all over after 3 hours, only to be completely beside himself when told there were two more coming out in the next two years my Uncle and his wife wanted to see with him!! 😂
I hope your Dad is at peace now. ❤️
My dad and I loved LotRs too. I sang this song at his memorial service when he died from Colon cancer. I miss him so much!
I played this yesterday while holding my patient's hand as he passed away from COVID. His journey was quick and peaceful ❤
@mila921 Beautiful God Bless you and May he rest in peace 🙏🍀💓
Bless you and all other doctors and nurses who tend to the sick and dying.
What a beautiful way to go in such a circumstance 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mila we salute you, god bless .
🙏🙏💕
With how 2020 has been so far, I think we all needed to hear this. I've been wanting Ella Roberts to do a cover of a LOTR song ever since I first heard her sing Loch Lomond. This was stunning. Thank you.
Rest in Peace, Bilbo.
Sooo beautiful! ❤️ RIP, Sir Ian Holm 🙏❤️
Annie Lennox once said in an interview; "People are beautiful when they are sincere". At that time I didn't really comprehend it, but a couple of years later, it became clear to me. Seeing you two perform together, the words have never been truer to me. Thanks a lot for sharing.
❤
Ella your voice is a gift, I have never heard this song sung so beautiful.
Please sing "May it be" you have such an amazing voice and it would fit that song perfectly
Yes! I concur.
Agreed :) I'll even get Elijah Wood to listen in.
I agree!!!!!
@Stuart Ongley o
This incredibly beautiful woman makes me cry everytime with her voice and beauty. Every day is like the first when she touches my heart.
The Spirit of the West is strong in the beautiful Miss Ella. Music like this will help us reclaim our destiny.
Her voice and the music are transcendent and connect you to something larger than yourself. The beauty of her voice and the music are incredibly beautiful and thank you for sharing this with us.
whoever disliked this is a servant of Souron
What kind of a shit does one have to be to dislike this or any other song that is sung by Ms Ella, she not only hit the lotto gene pool in looks, but has been blessed by the gods in voice. Truly a proper lass.
Mark Giltner they must’ve been an Anglo Saxon
She is good but I’m afraid merely a steward of this song. The true crown belongs to Annie Lennox.
@@Super_tramp142 it belongs to the ring
too bloody right i agree
Beautiful rendition. The control of vowels is so beautiful and clear and the gentle but crisp clarity at the end of words and phrases is refreshing. Loved it!
Absolutely the best vocalist I’ve heard, her musicians are incredible as well. I discovered her a week ago and she is instantly at the top of my favorites.
This is so unbelievably beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes. That don’t ever happen.
This is one of my very favorite songs! Beautiful cover :)
"White shores are calling; you and I will meet again." My dad passed unexpectedly at the end of last year. That line breaks me every time.
My late wife loved this song. We had it played at her graveside service. It is truly a wonderful song.
Ella has THE BEST voice on this planet. Most beautiful woman, most beautiful voice. Thank you Ella.
Ella Roberts is always a joy to hear and see she has natural talent she always gives her best which is as it should be because she is very special happiness and long life Ella
You’re not just singing the song - very beautifully so - you’re feeling it. That touched me.
She has the voice of an angel. This is amazing!
Ian's performance was a heartwarming contribution to the saga, couldn't imagine anyone else playing Bilbo.
The casting of those movies was in most cases perfect.
He was absolutely wonderful in the films as our beloved Bilbo and from the sounds of it it sound like he really had an enjoyable experience filming in New Zealand with the cast and crew!
@@garybeauchamp3623 the decision to cast lesser known actors in the roles actually helped make LOTR great, you saw the characters rather than the actors!
Mae govannen! Your Haunting, incandescent, crystalline voice takes me to the Blessed Isle! A truly wonderful tribute to Mr Holm...our Bilbo...
Only one word: "waw"!
I do not think there is one song ever composed and performed so captivating, emotional and beautifully sung. A true gem! A million thanks to Annie Lennox, Fran Walsh, Howard Shore and Ella & Nick Roberts.
“Superb” doesn’t do this justice. Your voice is athletic yet still sweet. You sang with tenderness and compassion and beauty- and tremendous skill (I sing, I know what this took) yet the skill level never overshadowed the sweetness and compassion in the song. Rich yet delicate, full yet ethereal. I guess this is what elves sound like. I do hope you cover more Tolkien songs.
Best version of this song. Beautiful tribute.
You always sing so lovely Ella. You and your brother did a wonderful job on this.
just an absolute pleasure to hear her wonderful voice this is what she was meant to do making people happy not a bad to be doing all good to you Ella
Thx so much Ella 🙏🙏🙏
In loving memory 😔😟
RIP Sir Ian Holme
My god I’m crying so hard. So beautiful. I’d give anything to have my dad hear this song one last time. Thank you for this gift
The voice of an angel I thought no one could compete with Lisa Kelly but your voice and range for Celtic arrangements is wonderful my heart melts to that ethereal distant land that your voice promotes. Really world class voice xx
A very sweet send off song for dear old Bilbo, performed very beautifully
My fellow Games workshop colleges were there when they laid down the the very last track on the movies. It will be a memory I will never forget, sat in a studio with Howard shore PJ and Fran walsh, tears streaming from our eyes, as PJ turned to Fran and said... "well thats it .. its done'
That is unreal! I'll make sure to tell Ella...
Thanks for making my childhood great with the GW stuff mate haha
I listen to this song every night before going to sleep; the serenity, peace and ethereal beauty it imparts is beyond compare
Amazing vocals. RIP Ian Holm rest well you deserve the most peaceful of eternal sleeps
Absolutely beautiful and moving! Chills and tears!
I appreciate your work. rather than trying to mass produce content every day or week you produce quality art. this is what the world needs. take your time and do things right. thanks
My 6 year old daughter adores you! You are by far her favorite artist and she has memorized all your songs! Thank you.
As I said before,this is exactly how the song was made to be sung! This version by red haired Ella is the best you will ever here .....perfect diction,.....perfect key changes.......beautifully sung.... beautiful singer......her voice was made for this song........stunning,absolutely stunning!
I had tears streaming down my face listening to this. Your voice is other-worldly. You are an absolute treasure. I hope that when this is all over you will do a tour. If you don't come to Edinburgh I'll take it personally :')
You may see more Australians do it, returning to the ancestral home of our families who’s backgrounds are Scottish.
I've subscribed to Ella's channel, her songs make me cry (in a good way), and she's gorgeous!
Such a beautiful cover of this song, and so hard for me to listen to without tearing up: this is my "goodbye" song to a beautiful snow-white kitty we had and lost to cancer. Two years later I still have a hard time listening to this recording.
My boys love this kind of music while we do our work
It doesn`t matter how often I hear or even sing that song myself, I have ALWAYS tears in my eyes😭❤ This video was stunning, great work!
Such a beautiful song for the end of one of the greatest literary and film sagas in history!
Wow... I thought the original was powerful. You took it up to a new level with this soulful power to your voice that resonance the emotion expressed. I am blown away.
Wonderful just wonderful, rest in peace Bilbo.
He escuchado todos los temas y covers que hay de LORD OF THE RING, Y está es la más bella que escuché. Estoy llorando 😭😭😭😭😭
This is a song that keeps a very special place in my heart. Thought, no one but Annie is worth to perform it. Now I got the proof of my fallacy
Beautiful song, we all fade into the west eventually, rest Bilbo you've earned it.
This is the most beautiful version of this song that I have ever heard. Very peaceful and enchanting.
I've come across this twice in the last few years.... I've cried twice... The music. The vocals. Every bit of this production scares me. No one should have this much power.
Magnficent.
Another EXCELLENT rendition from a very skilled & talented songstress. Well done and very crafted delivery. As aproduction company, we are very impressed, as usual Ella. Thank You.
I have heard a great many covers of this piece. Yours is by far the most beautiful. The way you hit those peak notes without breaking o being harsh on the ears. Absolutely superb 💕
Ian Holmes would be proud of this
Thank you for this Version, you Voice is Voice of an Angel!!!
❤ This is the Song, that sounds, when i lay down my head to rest in Peace! 😭❤
Wunderschön.....Ella singt mit sooo viel Liebe und Gefühl. Auf in den Westen, in eine neue Zeit....Herzlichen Dank, liebe Ella.
I'm so glad that Ian Holm is honored so much. There are certainly thousands who say goodbye to him in their own way. He will have many hearts that think of him and so much that will remind of him. I think "into the west" from you was what we all wanted to give him on the way. I'm sure he hears it, maybe sitting there and blowing smoke rings into the air, remembering how it was here on earth.
As Gandalf said, he is now on another adventure, with all the blessings he could ever have!
I don't think I have ever heard a voice so tender in tone and rich in timbre.
I really love your voice! It’s all the nice things; like silk, honey and dew drops on spiderwebs 🥰 I’m glad that you sing these kind of songs 👌
That's absolutely beautiful. I mean seriously just perfect. The voice transports you to another level of calm.
One word.... Beautiful.
Okay, I have heard so many try this and just can't beat, or come close to Annie. You now are my favorite! Far above anyone else I have heard do this song! Excellent! I hope I go to iTunes and find this video to buy.
*sees this on the youtube homepage* Yeah, I feel like crying. *Sees the dedication* WAIT, NO--
One of the best performances of this song I ever heard !!!! Really good music! Thank you
Lindo, perfeito, emocionante, tocante, ARREBATADOR!! Obrigada RUclipsr, por me notificar isto! ❤️
I listen to this over and over and all my ancestors start calling me. It's magic Ella. ... I want this sung when I go to that distant shore. ❤
Magical voice!! I know that creating a song is a difficult job..but i would LOVE so much more frequent music videos of her! Please we need more good music!! Good day/evening to all!
You make me cry.....beautiful ¡¡¡ Thank you.
Magnifica canción!
What a beautiful voice you have. Thanks for remember the memory of one of the best actor in the world.
Hi from México.
Listened to this and 'may it be' on my Lord of the Rings soundtrack CD on my WalkMan while doing chemotherapy at 17. Can't say much other than it helped... immeasurably.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
30sec into the song, and I'm already crying. Rest well, Sir Ian. May your Grey Ship pass into the West. Your next adventure is awaiting you. Namarie.
One of the only times I’ve utilised the loop tool on RUclips. This cover is a blanket of safety for me.
Stunningly beautiful! I hadn't even known that Sir Holm had passed. This rendition does him great honor. I spent my misspent youth buried in the Tolkein books, and have never (thankfully) gotten beyond that. RIP all involved.
the sound makes me want to go home and I'm already home
This is a very touching tribute, you are both amazingly talented.
Ah the news that Ian Holm passed away never reached me, this came as a surprise to me. Other than that, your voice fits this song very well and I like how you made your own version of this. The instruments all together in the last chorus and how you make it sound smaller afterwards really got to me. Goosebumps.
Definitely the song i want for my funeral. I see u in Valinor, my fellow elvish brothers and sisters!
How Beautiful, that brought back memories for me of the ‘Hobbit’ what a tremendous actor he was! Ella has one of the Crystal Clearest voices I have ever heard, I made a comment on the Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond Video some weeks ago, it fitted perfectly with my rather sad story, thank you 🙏 Ella for sharing your amazing talent 🥀.
Ian Holm was a wonderful choice for Bilbo and actually brought him to newfound recognition to younger audiences after doing Alien, Brazil and The Fifth Element!
I particularly like the “Concerning Hobbits” scene in the Extended Cut of The Fellowship of The Ring where he’s writing his memoir “There and Back Again: A Hobbit’s Tale” and musing and chuckling about the peculiarities and the nobility of the hobbits.
. . . maybe, this is more beauty than the original.✨😱😱🙏❤💙💙
R.i.P. Sir Ian Holm . . . ✨❤" you are ready for another adventure" . . .
Hauntingly beautiful. Chills. Thank you. Ian Holm... Namárië...
Beautiful Song, beautiful Voice, beautiful Dress, AMAZING Lady 💚
This song saved my day!... Oh my... How wonderful, how magnificent. I'm completely in love with this version. We need it in digital platforms ♥
Why isn’t this music top of the charts it’s incredibly beautiful and moving
