The lyrics may be composed differently than Tolkien wrote them, but NO OTHER adaptation matches the character of Tom Bombadil as good as this one! *Kudos!*
If we ever got Tom in a movie or show, he had better be singing this version of the song. Either you must play him, or your voice plays over the end credits! Love the energy.
I dunno how it took me this long to find this version but it's perfect. Been listening to this on loop for the last two days. This is now Tom's voice for me
I was reading the Fellowship of the Ring and found myself trying to get the right tune and tone for this. I was failing miserably, but kept at it. Found the brightness and silliness and said "Someone has probably cracked this. I will seek them." Then I found this. And not only is the music perfect, but your video is joyfully hilarious - and I have a bud named Tom, has piercings and has a dry wit with his light beard. You could be his brother, seriously. So I laughed and I hit LIKE. Perfection. It is on my playlist now. And I told him about it, too!
It's an absolute crime against humanity that Peter Jackson did not include Tom Bombadil in the LOTR movies. He was by far the most magical character in a magical story. Neither man nor elf, what is he? Possessed of great power, but he did not use it (or maybe his power was maintaining the natural world). An enigma, but wholly good, detached yet connected to Nature, was there before, and will be there after.
So you're on the way home from work and you find yourself being attacked by a tree or whatever (as we often do). And just when you think hope's lost you hear this in the distance and you know its all gonna be good
I've listened to this so much that it's in my stable youtube recommendation samples. Love your attitude, your style and your talent man, we need more Tom Bombadil in this world, peace
If they ever make a Lord of the Rings show and don’t include this song I’ll be very very disappointed. Great job man I think you really got Tom Bombadillos spirit with this song.
Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! Hop along! Fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol! My darling! Light goes the weather-wind and the feathered starling. Down along under Hill, shining in the sunlight, Waiting on the doorstep for the cold starlight, There my pretty lady is, River-woman's daughter, Slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water. Old Tom Bombadil water-lilies bringing Comes hopping home again. Can you hear him singing? Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Now let the song begin! Let us sing together! Of sun, stars, moon and mist, rain and cloudy weather, Light on the budding leaf, dew on the feather, Wind on the open hill, bells on the heather, Reeds by the shady pool, lilies on the water: Old Tom Bombadil and the River-daughter! Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow; Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow. Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Awesome work man!
Major respect from Music Swop Shop Melbourne Australia. We are obsessed with this song. We are a consignment music instrument store. Look out for Swoppy bands DAVE 1000 and Gargoyle in 2024. Both bands love this song x
I just came across this randomly when I was looking for a certain remix that has been taken down, sadly, but in return as I said I got something way more cooler! Hella cool, dude. I love your take on it!

I'm currently going through a phase where I listen to this daily
It's medicine

Daily? I’m listening to this hourly xddd❤
Wow
This man IS tom bombadil without the bright blue jacket, the yellow boots and the hat with the blue feather

This is the best interpretation of a song I have ever come across, well done merry fellow!
easily the best I've heard. all the others I've come across are slow and drawn out. This one you can actually imagine Tom skipping along singing.
Absolutely agree!
*YES! THIS MAN UNDERSTANDS TOM BOMBADIL!*
Can someone get Peter Hollend this mans contacts?! This is the best rendition of the Tom Bombadill song I've ever heard!
I want to go to renaissance fair with this guy! 🧙🏻♂️ 🍻
"None have ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the master. His songs are stronger songs and his feet are faster!" 👏❤ This was so fun to listen to.
I refuse to accept any other version of this song. This is exactly how Tom Bombadil would sing his song.
I can feel the happinness in your eyes and the kindness as you are singing this awesome song ! You should do more of Tom's songs!
I dunno how it took me this long to find this version but it's perfect. Been listening to this on loop for the last two days. This is now Tom's voice for me

Perfection. It is on my playlist now.
And I told him about it, too!
This is how I imagine it now when it says that Frodo gained strength as he continued to sing the song
Hand over the remaining rainforests to this man!
I've listened to this on loop for 5 hours while drawing gnomes, amazing experience
If this be true, please never change, stay gold strange gentlemen.
There are no gnomes in Tolkein's Middle-Earth.
Tom Bombadil would totally dance to this song
Absolutely!
Imagine a show just about Tom Bombadil and how he lives and interacts with travelers through his land
For sure this is Tom Bombadil's favorite version of his own song ! Awesome!! 🧙🏼♂️
Hail Tom Bombadil ! Thank you Sir
This is now my favorite version.
I wish this was on spotify!
Me too!
This is everything I ever wanted and didn't know. Your interpretation feels so true to the soul of the character. I love it! Thanks
*Same!*
How this doesnt have 10 gazillion views is beyond my ken...
Back here after the announcement of Tom in the RoP series, boy do I wish this song was on Spotify so I could listen constantly :P

hearing it i feel like i became uncorrupted pure hearted like Tom Bombadil
I have had this song stuck in my head for a week, and I am just fine with it. I LOVE IT
This is incredible!!!! I just got to this point in the fellowship audiobook. "Toms got a house to mind and goldenberry waiting!"
Few things in this world can overcome the power of Sauron's ring. A merry tune and a glad heart are two of them.
This has been stuck in my head all day. Love it!
So you're on the way home from work and you find yourself being attacked by a tree or whatever (as we often do). And just when you think hope's lost you hear this in the distance and you know its all gonna be good

Reading fellowship for the first time and I just had to google to see if anyone had done Tom's song. This is so fucking good.
That song makes me TOO HAPPY i think that ur work is pure happines
Everyone is gansta until they hear Tom Bombadil bassy tones, as old man willow learnt.
I love this version of this song, tis my favorite!!! I'd love to hear some other Tolkien songs interpreted by you.
Tom Bombadil, the mystical legend.
I would love for a version with the whole song!
Great work merry fellow!
If they ever make a Lord of the Rings show and don’t include this song I’ll be very very disappointed. Great job man I think you really got Tom Bombadillos spirit with this song.
There are Lord of the RIngs movies u know for quite some time now. at least 15 years
@@doiron12 they said show, not a movie
Oof, pre- rings of power hope kicks me in the groin.
@@redrow3629
We do not speak of that show.
@@redrow3629 that is not canon in Middle Earth. It's not even canon irl.
Next time I read fellowship. Imma just play this instead of reading the song - awesome work mate!
I love this. The only negative to the short version was that we didn't get to hear more of toms song.
This never fails to cheer me up
No dislikes. Perfect.
Tom bless you
Tolkien would not have liked any modern adaptations of his work... until now.
I love it! Thank you!!! He's my favorite character in the Lord of the Rings after Samwise. I wish they hadn't left him out of the Movies. :)
This has genuinely made me happy. Thank you
Amazing work man!
Tom MFing Bombadil (Merry Fellowing)
Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! Hop along! Fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol! My darling!
Light goes the weather-wind and the feathered starling.
Down along under Hill, shining in the sunlight,
Waiting on the doorstep for the cold starlight,
There my pretty lady is, River-woman's daughter,
Slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water.
Old Tom Bombadil water-lilies bringing
Comes hopping home again. Can you hear him singing?
Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Now let the song begin! Let us sing together!
Of sun, stars, moon and mist, rain and cloudy weather,
Light on the budding leaf, dew on the feather,
Wind on the open hill, bells on the heather,
Reeds by the shady pool, lilies on the water:
Old Tom Bombadil and the River-daughter!
Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow;
Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow.
Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Awesome work man!
I can't stop listening to this
A masterpiece! Reading LOTR and hearing this is perfect
Ohrwurm incoming. Great work!
Sound like a viking pirate Celtics folk song. My favorite genre!
This is a great song!!

Love the hurdy gurdy!
Das wird auf jeden Fall bei der nächsten Zusammenkunft in der Schänke gespielt ;)

The best song for the best character of LOTR!
This fire is hot enough to destroy the Ring.
Amazing !!💖👍👍😍

I'm actually so thankful that words of power are still being used and that the sounds they manifest are still great as ever

Haha! What a smile this put on me, i think that means you did it right! :D
