Not a single negative comment. No ones arguing. Just a bunch of people who may lost something and found it in this music again, or in the books. It's magical.
Not a single thumbs down as well 11 months after your comment
@@Fat2Fit5k unfortunately you can no longer see if there are any dislikes on a video. RUclips removed that information several months ago.

There is no reason to dislike this video. Amazing landscape, enjoyable melody and no Advertisement. Nowadays, it is not easy to find such a video in RUclips.
This Trilogy helped me keep my sobriety. After 3 months without drinking I found a bottle that I hid in my house. I almost drank it and there was my DVD trilogy staring at me. Frodo fumbling with the ring. I heard the ring,whiskey, talking to me. Howard Shore’s beautiful music. In a matter of seconds I found the “ring” and cast it into the chasm of Mount Doom. My sink!!! True story
Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Congratulations brother, i know the struggle, when youre on a dark place just remember the shire, remember what you fight for! Much love!
Repeat this powerful statement, you don't want to do it. You don't want to relapse. You don't want to pick it up. I know your mind craves it and you think that you want it. But don't fall for the illusion. Once you fall into your bad habits, your mind once more and more. But funny enough. You get further from that feeling you are looking for which is probably love peace. Joy and fulfillment🎉
I am sharing what someone shared with me
It's powerful to eliminate any and all addictions. One by one❤
You did what Isildur could not! 😆All kidding aside, keep fighting the good fight, brother! I'm rooting for you!
The greatest book ever written.

@@evapawlowskaI'm reading the book and listening as I go along. You're not kidding when you say the best audiobook ever. Good god.

Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!
To the king!!!

Tears again just reading this, like every time this scene plays.
@@e_climber2160 come get me for Elevenses
Chills. I got chills when I read this.
I am nearly 70 years old. The Hobbit (the book, c. 1937) was in my elementary school library. I picked it up when I was in 4th grade and read, "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." I was hooked. I must have read that book ten times. I spent my meager allowance on a paperback copy sold through the Scholastic Books program.
It wasn't until my 3rd year of college, during the years of Vietnam, Watergate, and civil rights riots that I discovered Lord of the Rings. All us hippies read Lord of the Rings. Our literature professors dismissed it as a WWII allegory or as "kiddie lit," or as one aging McCarthyist put it, "hippie lit." Little did they know that Tolkien has spawned a literary revolution.
The first attempts to make movies of the books were pitiful. Peter Jackson was still a young stripling hardly out of short pants and nobody had ever seen a desktop computer yet. CGI wasn't even in anyone's vision. Howard Shore was very well known as a composer of cinema scores, but Lord of the Rings is considered his masterpiece.
That's your history lesson for today, all you young folks. :-)
"“But do not despise the lore that has come down from distant years; for oft it may chance that old wives keep in memory word of things that once were needful for the wise to know.”"
Thanks for sharing this piece of your experience.
What a lovely comment. Thank you for sharing
My first copy of the Hobbit ALSO bought at my schools Scholastic book fair!
Ksoskssososksososoos.
There will never be another trilogy as good as this
Or any movie at all.
Agreed. It will never be beaten. It is as close to perfect as humanity will ever get in cinema
"There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."
Literally meant, As Tolkien wrote LOTR based on his experiences fighting in WW1
YES! My username is based off that. ❤
Amen
why he lying tho
@@dafrenchie94 What a stupid question! And, presumably, from someone who doesn't know the "background" to Tolkien's writings.
I swear I will never get tired of LOTR ambient music
Yep, It's very soothing
es musica eterna nina
Howard Shore is a genius.
It's hard to!
My mom won’t either
Sometimes when I feel lonely or sad there is no music I want or need to hear more than this. For years it has brought a strange sort of comfort. It is as if I am remembering a world I've never been to, remembering that if I don't fit into this world, it's simply because I was made for another one.
CS Lewis shared that feeling
Its a longing for our Pre-mortal life. Where we will return when we die. Most people report a "going home."
@@rikkikeen1859 I remember that now, thanks for reminding me. 😊 I loved CS Lewis, and I love that he and Tolkien were friends.
You've no idea how impactful that was to me. Thank you for putting into words what I could not :)
It’s like in the great stories Mr. Frodo.
The ones that really mattered.
Full of darkness and danger they were,
and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end.
Because how could the end be happy.
How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened.
But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow.
Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come.
And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you.
That meant something.
Even if you were too small to understand why.
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand.
I know now.
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t.
Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo : What are we holding on to, Sam?
Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
what movie is that from
🙌
two towers@@siskavard
I really needed that quote 😢❤
Oh Samwise the Brave... Frodo wouldn't have gotten very far without you...❤
6:58, tears every time I hear it.
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole full of worms and oozy smells. This was a hobbit-hole and that means good food, a warm hearth, and all the comforts of home." - Bilbo Baggins
yes. It is very beautiful. Over Hill is the best score from the whole hobbit trilogy
you just made my heart warm! I went to 6:58 and may have cried a bit when i heard it!
this is one of the first movies I saw and it just makes me just feel happyness
Just came here to comment about this or to see a comment about it. Thanks
Everytime i read those words, i feel the wish to return to that first moment when i started reading it and i felt the sensation like a giant door opening in front of me.
"But in the end it's only a passing thing, this shadow; even darkness must pass" - Samwise Gamgee
This feel so appropriate right now, thank you!

I will always treasure this music with fondness, my dad, who passed away last year, this was his favorite music and movies. As we were in his hospital room, before he went to his far green country under a swift sunrise, The Shire theme is the last thing he heard. When I hear this music it brings back the greatest memories. Love you Dad and thanks for sharing this with me.
He is living in the shire and hearing that beautiful music forever. 🙂
Wonderful that you have this fondness to look back on and know that your dad is no longer in any pain. I can relate as my dad just passed away on the 10th of September from Alzheimer's/dementia at the age of 86. We sat together and watched all of the LOTR films on DVD when they were first available to rent. The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back and it all turns to silver glass. Then you see white shores, and beyond a far green country to a swift sunrise. 🙏
Sorry for your loss
Thank you for sharing.
God bless you and your father, i remember going to cinema to watch fotr with my dad,such a shame he never got to see the rings of power,but all we can do is honor their legacys
I would rather share 3 hours of my lifetime with this music than face all the ages of this world never having heard it
Well said Tony
nonsense
@@JeanBaptisteEmanuelZorg Really? Seems like pretty basic English. Weird that's it nonsense for you.

@@tarush_._69 yes if they do it like Jackson has done it! I hope they do not ruin it by adding unessesary stuff. like hollywood always ruins films
@@tarush_._69 i gather its because the show is based in the second age i think! so they can get away with it.....for now. my only thing is i cant imagine anyone but sir ian mckellen playing gandalf :')
@@SnkrPrince i think they are going to GoT my LotR and put too much GRRM in my JRRT... in other words I really believe they are going to disregard the lore SO hard... the Tolkien experts even walked out on it. Get ready for a disaster.
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)
What a heartbreaking and heartwarming tale all at once. It sounds like Matthew was strong in life and his spirit will surely find its way to the halls of his forefathers . May he ever enjoy the rolling green countryside that brings a swift sunrise.
May he rest in peace brother.
Now I am crying
I'm so sorry for your loss, what a beautiful friendship
So sorry for your loss
Frodo: "I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened"

-J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
We were born for such a time as this.
Insert: "The Hobbit soundtrack"
I remember I was 18 when Fellowship first came out. A girlfriend of mine at the time was so excited to see it, having read the books in school. I was on the fence. Having seen the Burger King Commercials promoting this movie I thought it looked like a cheesy CGI messy kids movie. Then, I went to see it with her and as soon as the opening music and the opening back story of Sauron and the ring came on, I was IMMEDIATELY like "whoa, this is different. holy fuck." By the end I had the feeling that probably folks in 1977 had when they left the theater seeing Star Wars for the first time. I have not had a movie experience like that since 2001. Something i'll never forget!
I completely agree! I was also 18 when Fellowship came out and it was one of the most magical experiences of my life:)
I hope you married that girl...😁 I was 6 and saw Star Wars in the theater in 1977. That is pretty much what I thought too.
@@SairEvenstar same here
I was about 3 or 4 when the fellowship first came out in theaters, but I will always love these films and books as long as I live.
Bro same. I was in high school. Changed forever.
I’m currently rereading the LOTR trilogy & stumbled upon this gem. Now I have this playing quietly while reading by candlelight. I recon it’s about as close as being in Middle Earth as one can get!
Absolutely. I love it when the woman starts singing her song. It's so harmonious and magnificent.
@@McDonaldsWrath18 pure bliss!
I'm sure that if you put a middle Earth costume that'll make you even feel closer to that Middle Earth vibe
I’m doing the same thing right now haha
@@darkscarflame4822 Okay now we're delving into larping territory..
Love this quote by Roger Miller: “Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet”.
I'm gonna remember this one.
Thanks. I'm definitely going to use this one. "What comes around, goes around."
Enjoy the rain.
If you stay out in it long enough you'll come to enjoy your suffering.
I read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings in my teens. I read it to my kids when they were old enough. And now my Grandkids are reading it. My favorite recollection of reading it to my youngest son was when Gandalf fell in battle with the Balrog. My son was shocked. " Gandalf can't be dead ! That can't happen ! " To which I replied " Sorry son, Gandalf the Grey is dead. " It certainly heightened the appearance of Gandalf the White . Now in his 30s he still remembers that .
That is so awesome! I great to see how the Lord of the Rings lives on throughout the generations.
Well done. That's excellent fathering right there.
getting through this moment is a rite of passage imo, well done
“It’s a dangerous business Frodo, going out of your door. You step into the Road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

amazing quote, friend~
This is it, if I take one more step, it will be the furthest from home I've ever been
"Samwise the brave, I want to hear more about him," said Frodo.
This music makes me feel privileged to be alive.
Middle Earth will always be The greatest fantasy world that will ever exist for me.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
I love this quote
It always reminded me of a WWII veteran that talked at my school when I was a child. Absolutely love this as a sign of perseverance.
@@dylanbastiaans6852 I wonder if Tolkien was referring to that and his time in WW1
@@dylanbastiaans6852 just found out his son served in WW2
And we all decided to listen to Ambient Worlds. And the great Howard Shore. Good choice in my estimation.
I still get chills remembering Fellowship in theatres at age 13. My parents said it was "too violent", but that if I promised and adhered to one month of no screens (no TV, no movies, no video games - and kids didn't have cell phones back then), I was allowed to see LOTR in theatres.
I'll never miss that month of no TV, but remember the words "A last alliance of men and elves..." and the snarls of Orcs in the opening scenes like it was yesterday.
I remember it too, though I was 17. I think I saw all 3 movies at least 3 times in the theater. The only other movie I saw that many times in the theaters was Titanic at age 13.
bravo to your parents! i took both my boys to see every film, multiple times, and took many of their friends! to prepare for the events we had several trivia books. the”kids” would ask me questions and i quizzed them about more details. …and the adventure continues. (now my grandson is a fan!)
The good old days :)
I grew up with my parents owning the cartoon VHS of Tolkein. When the trailer came out, my mom gasped in shock and I knew 1 actor that came over the hill. When I first saw it.....it spent so much of my money at the theaters that year, and the next 2, made cloaks, my sister made so many collages of Hildabrandt pieces of drawing and fan art. She even made models of the dwarves and Bilbo to enter into the fairs student entries that year. Once you go Tolkein, you never go back.
My grandpa was the one who introduced me to LOTR and The Hobbit. When he heard they were making a movie for LOTR, he got so excited. He took us to see all 3 movies in theaters. When he heard they wete also making The Hobbit, he got so excited again.
Sadly, 2 months before Battle of the Five Armies released, he passed away.
When he passed, it was felt that I would cherish his LOTR and The Hobbit hardback copies. I stare at the little note on the inside of the front flap that reads "From The Library of (his name)" and it makes me so happy that he shared such an adventure with me.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful story and I'm sorry for your loss. My condolences.
Playing this wonderful music to my unborn baby..preparing her to the world of Middle Earth. 🏞🌠🌌
Me too!
you have excellent taste :)
U r legend
Repeat after me: LOTR is the best fandom.
edit! yay so many likes thanks to y'all dear lotr fans x
its so true
LOTR is the best fandom.
LOTR is a wonderfull fandom
Yes yes yes 😌
And it's sad that it's not as popular or as big as a deal as Harry Potter or something. LOTR, in my opinion, is far better and more thought through. J.R.R Tolkien put SOO much into his books! It took him 15 years, after all.
It is amazing to me that after twenty years, LOTR and The Hobbit still have such an affect on so many people!
Even though I will not meet any of you in this world, I feel a fellowship with you all...
I was thinking exactly the same thing! Amazingly, LOTR movies are, after all this time, still touching so many people. The movies and the music as well are more than magnificient. It's a timeless universe we enter in everytime. Maybe that's why so many people are still enjoying and loving it. 💖
20 years! I was hooked when I read the Hobbit and LOTR when I was 10 in 1980. The LOTR is still my most favourite book of all time. Seriously, it is good to hear from others who love the books as much as I do
I'm crying 🥺😭❤️ Beautiful words! ✨💕
@@benvickery Exactly! I was like ... after over *eighty* years the Hobbit (sixty for the LotR) still manage to touch so many people. With no small help from the movies, of course. With the years, this fellowship has not only grown, but also diversified...
I'm still amazed that the first movie is almost 20 years old now. I was 21 when I first saw it in the theater. How was that half a lifetime ago?
I have never had such an emotional connection to a movie or soundtrack like LOTR. The greatest set of books and movies ever created in my opinion. Loved by so many!
Rest in peace King Theoden ✝️
Amen to that, May he go to halls of his forbears. ❤❤😢😢😇😇
I just want the person reading this to be healthy, happy and loved! Wishing you a good day!

I love all of your videos so much! They've helped me get through 2.5 years of high school, and late-night study sessions when I'm the only one awake in the house for nights on end. Seriously, thank you.

@@stevehaas9876 you good bro? 😂
I know how you feel.
I miss those days.
I first read from Tolkien in 1964 and have read all of him several times since then. After 76 years of life it is good to be able to go to a realm where honor and love and principles fight against evil of any kind. Just words on paper about a life of adventure, happiness and enormous despair; just like real life, but one thing was different. We could close the pages and reflect without worry and if needed revisit that one part that touched us so. Before the music came to punctuate the words these were haunting tales. The music, with the stories, become the notes of sagas, hymns to heroes and the soft touch of love on a face when embraced by a lover. Even though it is sad to know that one day I will leave to never visit it all again; I shall not look back. I like to think I shall take it with me.
beautifully written
Aho!
All the best to you. God Bless you.
God bless you! I hope you have all the best!
Wunderbare Worte!
Danke dafür!
I was 11 in late summer of 2002 when my Dad (a police officer) came home with our first DVD player, and one DVD with it, The Fellowship of the Ring. We watched half the movie, up to the point that they left Rivendell, and then turned it off because parents the were tired. Mom thought it was too scary to let us kids finish on our own. We had to wait a whole week to finish it :D. After that, I got the books for my birthday and I read and finished the LOTR trilogy before the Two Towers came out in theaters. I only got the opportunity to see the Two Towers in theaters once. Before Return of the King came out, I re-read parts of the book and then I went and saw the film. I saw it three times in theaters. I used to walk through the woods alone at night and believed there were was certainly elves up in the trees. Sam Houston National Forest in Winter is enchanted. These stories (along with my friends getting into the original release of World of Warcraft), kept me away from all the bad stuff that other kids in my area were getting involved with. A magical childhood if there ever was one.
Our people don't even know this kind of Movie exist never hurt Of hollywood movies at that time I know eventhough I wasn't born
The lotr music still stands undefeated as the best movie soundtrack ever made
I agree. It's so enchanting!
No argument here! It’s so haunting and atmospheric!

Far over.... the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must await, ere break of day,
To find our long forgotten gold.
The pines were roaring on the height,
The winds were moaning in the night.
The fire was red, it flaming spread;
The trees like torches blazed with light.
The wind was on the withered heath,
But in the forest stirred no leaf:
There shadows lay be night or day,
And dark things silent crept beneath.
The wind went on from West to East;
All movement in the forest ceased,
But shrill and harsh across the marsh
Its whistling voices were released.
Farewell we call to hearth and hall!
Though wind may blow and rain may fall,
We must await ere break of day
Far over wood and mountain tall.
That's really good!
gosh, I love that song and it sounds so good when Thorin and the dwarfs sing it.
The best part of the movies imo
@Brianna Melius What about the Ballad of Leithan or The Song of Eärendil :'(?
We must *away, ere break of day.
This soundtrack is truly one of a kind. The movies wouldn't be what they were without it... Howard Shore did an incredible job!
Hahaha! I don't know if ya meant to do that, but he Shore* did.
@@Beregond1861 Hahaha I didn't, I'm cracking up!!
It is timeless, it is beautiful, it is the Lord of the Rings. Nothing else truly compares, and I'm not sure anything else ever will. Thank you Tolkien, Jackson, and Shore for what you gave us.
I was there to witness these films in theaters. Not a day goes by where I don’t count my blessing for how lucky I was. To be there to witness, absolutely magnificence. 3 films that encapsulate a time and place that now doesn’t even feel real, because of how good it made me feel to be apart of it. Thank You too all of you who have kept this alive over the years. I pray I will see you on the other side of the Grey Havens….some day….
Wow
But where were you when the westfold fell?? HMMM?
I was there! December 17th, 2001! I was 13 years old!
I'm lucky enough that in my country ( Vietnam ) all of 3 movies just shown up in theater. The time i spent with all of 3 movies, is one of my precious time of my life. I will never forget, because i think, this is the first and last time i will see the trilogy in theater
I can only imagine how that must've felt. I watched them for the first time in 2006 at 7 years old on tv, We had no theatres in my city.
Since then I've been watching them every Christmas (LOTR and Home Alone).
It seems like I've stopped doing that in the past 6-8 years, but this Christmas, is gonna be different. :)

Frodo: "What are we holding on to, Sam? Sam: "That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo...and it's worth fighting for.”
I keep hanging on to these words when I feel so sad about the state of the world: “I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

LOTR is just perfect. My favourite movies of all time. Nothing will ever beat it. 20 years old and still amazes people and makes them cry. Thank you peter jackson and howard shore and everyone who worked on these incredible movies.
I think professor tolkien would have liked them.
Agreed, nothing comes close!
This music has helped me through a very difficult period. The beauty and solace it offers are wonderful.

Inner peace is the key to true happiness and very few ever find it, some people claim to of found it, some never do and to be at peace with ones self, one must know self and knowing self takes a lifetime.
I don’t know who you are but it’s a privilege to of come across your words and share this life time with you. Thank you 🤝.

@@toweltom9984 You're right about people not finding inner peace. It seems that most folks these days don't slow down long enough to truly learn from their bodies, minds, and beautiful souls within them. Maybe videos such as this one, and especially the comments under it, will help someone realize they do need to slow down and find that inner peace. When found, life is so very different in so many ways. Thank you for posting a very insightful comment. Take care of you and yours... Blessings always Friend ❤

I really hope, with every ounce of my being, that the Lord of the Rings show on Prime lives up to expectations. There is SO MUCH potential and they have a colossal budget and the casting is not filled with trademark all-stars but a ton of actors and actresses I haven't even heard of. But in the meantime, I will read the original trilogy to this. Theoden and company have just arrived at Helm's Deep and they can see thousands of orc torches in the distance coming in after them.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. I decided to sit and listen to the entire 3 hours.
I can't believe it's already been 20 years. Feels like yesterday. I can watch these films over and over and listen to this, and read the books over and over without ever getting bored. This is the world I want to be in. It makes me happy. The music truly is spectacular

Have you watched the directors cuts. I think each movie is 4 hrs long 😅

Man, I just went to see ROTK in theaters last night, and this time it just hit different. Maybe it’s that I’ve been consistently reading more of Tolkien’s actual work between each time that I watch the films, maybe I’m just getting older, but it was nothing short of magnificent. I was moved to tears multiple times…anything having to do with the friendship of the hobbits, Gandalf telling Pippin about the white shores beyond death, of course the ending. What a wonderful adaptation, and the score by Howard Shore elevates every single thing about it. Thank you to all who were involved, for bringing this timeless classic into mainstream cinema and exposing this many people to it. And, here I am crying again, but not all tears are sad
This
Indeed, beautifully said. The magnificent battles, emotional scenes, and the hope in a tough moment-all of LOTR gives this sense of beauty and home that I cannot describe. The fight of good versus evil is even in our lives, we must fight our inward desire to chose to do wrong. Even the people of Rohan with the aid of Aragorn and his friends could not defeat the enemies before Gandalf gloriously rode over the hill with the valiant army of Eomer. So do we need aid to fight the battles within us, an aid that can only come from a perfect person.
Also, I didn’t realize you could still watch LOTR in the theater, which theater did you watch it in?
ROTK 👑❤
Not all tears are an evil, my friend. :)
Right on, brother.
the Edoras theme is one of the richest sequences in the entire saga, and it gives me chills every time.
Oh yes!
Howard Shore studied Richard Wagner, Edoras is very influenced by Richard Wagner's style!
Goosebumps
Shivers.
❤️ This will never get old or outdated. Just as JRRT's books. We're gonna be reading them, watching Jackson's movies, and listening to Howard Shore's music until we die. 💎
Amazing how relative his plot is now with the free world fighting against the dark and evil authoritarian regimes aka man and elves versus the orcs and the eye.
@@crf5998 So true
so true! :)
а ведь ты прав, щьёрт побьери)))
i agree, i think it is one of the best made film series ive ever seen. certainly the one that pays the most attention to the books. when i read the books, the way i imagined the characters was almost exactly like how Jackson portrayed them in the movies. (i saw the movies after reading the books)
It’s a tradition for me, from now and on until I die, to watch all parts of LOTR + Hobbits & Harry Potter once a year, especially during the winter times.
that sounds like perfection, I just might have to adopt this tradition
@@sofiabrantley3448 Yes , perfection . Maybe we should join you Ahmad?
Me too:-) It's best during winter.
I watch the LOTR trilogy each thanksgiving. And then the hobbit trilogy the next day. 💖
Watching back to back LOTR, Hobbit & HP brought me through some dark times a few years ago. Complete distraction from all of it, while I healed. Also reread all of the books. Like you, they have become my go-to to watch in the depths of Winter, in front of my log fire. 🔥 Wonderful!!
i don"t know where tolkien got such creativity to create the world of middle earth
I’m not religious……but god bless Tolkien, Howard shore, Peter Jackson, ….everyone involved in this timeless masterpiece.
I always cry when I listen to LOTR music. I was in highschool and we didn't have in Bosnia option to buy original cds ,so I record it myself and made this cd book inside with tiny pics of main characters. I was listening to it whole highschool in my cd player. What a great time to be alive😍😍😍
А тебе сколько лет?
Much more special and memorable than if you had just bought the real cd.
@@rooty yes, I still have that cd😍👍 amazing memory. Thank you for wonderful reply

"This video was made possible by the Great Eagles of Middle-Earth."
I woke up this morning with a strange melancholic/nostalgic feeling that seemed like it was coming from the pit of my heart. I felt sad and was tearing up, yet the feeling also had a strange warmth that’s hard to describe. I feel alive; yet, I felt like this is what it feels like to die after a long and happy life. I came to listen to this sound track because it seems to carry that strange sad/happy middle ground.
My brother and I adored the Lord of the Rings. We'd watch the films and towards the end when he was so very ill they brought him great joy. For many years I couldn't bear to watch them or read the books or listen to its music. Today is the first day in many a year since I've played this soundtrack and it is beautiful. It makes me think of my brother and the good times that we shared together. Thank you.

Howard Shore has created a masterpiece which should be up there with the classics. the atmosphere he created for each of the races on Middle Earth is incredible.

So true, and many times in our own history ,this has happened.
At 17:27, for whatever reason, when I thought of the scene it corresponds to, I started crying. (The scene where Pippin, after searching the battlefield until night time, finally finds Merry.) It seems like the kind of scene that most people would kind of overlook or just say "oh, that's nice." But I really love it! I guess it's because it's the first truly happy, joyful scene we've had for a long time in the movie, and the music really reflects that. There's been heroism, outrageously epic moments, and peaceful moments like, of course the Houses of Healing immediately preceding. But the latter was calming and hopeful, not joyful. Here we have a beautiful scene where Pippin gets to see his friend again after being separated seemingly indefinitely from him by his (Pippin's) own mistake. And after Merry was mostly just kind of harsh and scolding toward Pippin after he made the mistake with the Palantir up until he left, Pippin now gets to see that Merry was genuinely hurt by Pippin having to leave him and now wants him to stay.
"I knew you'd find me."
"Yes."
"Are you going to leave me?"
"No, Merry. I'm going to look after you."
23:15.
Are you still crying?
The track "Elanor" always makes me cry, because I can see Sam holding his little girl, Rosie smiling at him. He says "I'm back" and pulls the round yellow door closed, and then the story ends. It is such a sweet moment, and we know that Sam lives a long, happy life. But for us who are only spectators, we never get to see the rest, never again get to see the characters we fell in love with. LOTR is a story that will never be lost to time, because we love it so much that we will read and watch it over and over, and we will love it the 1000th time just as much as we did the first.
That being said, Boromir deserved better. 😤
I 1000000000x agree with everything you said, especially that last paragraph. 😭 Watched his death countless times, wept countless times...
Even though Boromir deserved better... we all know it is impossible because it is Sean Bean playing him, after all.
@@_Wei__Wuxian_ I'm still mad that he never got to be in an Odyssey movie.
@@luciferslegions If you mean a spin off movie from the Troy movie then you are reading my mind. When I saw Sean Bean in that I was thinking the same thing.
@@keshhan6412 Yes, that was what I meant! Sean was great in Troy (especially his opening scene)!
Nothing quite like reading lotr while listening to this
SO TRUE.
I'm reading them for the first time, just started the return of the king and its so cool to listen and read at the same time especially when bits of the music fit the text like the films!
I'm on ch.8 of The Two Towers! This goes perfectly!
I am going to try this as well! But I fear I might be torn between listening to the music or reading the words.
I don't read those old LOTR books, I only read Gandalf fan fictions
"...But I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend."

He handed me Lord of the Rings all 3 books in 1and that saturday I sat in the armchair and read it cover to cover in 9 hrs. I was so absorbed in it I only got up to go to the loo and that book never left my hand. What a masterpiece.

I suffer from fibromyalgia and severe anxiety , and when I ear LOTR musics , anxiety and stress vanishes even pain lessens a lot.
Those musics have a huge impact , it's like being here physically , but elsewhere in mind, as if one would be while meditating. Those musics have something magical in them. It's like a balm to the soul.
Thank you Howard Shore for creating those masterpieces, and thank you Ambient worlds for the video
Amen!
Hope you feel better now
Even if it's only a little it's good to take in those difficult times
The greatest motion picture adaptation from a book ever. Probably even up for best trilogy made ever. From the costume designs, learning evlish, accents, the way the movie flowed, lighting, choice of where and how they shot (mountains etc), and of course the beauty of the orchestral playing. The themes matched so well with the movies feeling.
I refuse to believe that Middle-Earth isn’t real 😅🥲. This soundtrack never fails to make me cry with nostalgia. Nothing captivates me like Lord of the rings
Well its Earth so technically it is.
It's meant to be a pre-historic Earth isn't it? So it's our planet at some stage in the long distant past.
Try skyrim too ♥
LOTR IS real! It lives in the minds of thousands and probably millions of people. It may not have a physical existence, but it definitely has a place in the values and dreams of almost anyone who has read or seen the movies. And more so for those of us that have done both. It only imprints itself deeper in our psyche, the more we read or see it. Hope, perseverance and truth will inevitably win out. THAT is the real message of Tolkien's Middle Earth.
Wait.... Middle Earth isn't real ???!!!

Its a testament to how outstanding the soundtrack is if you can listen to any random part of it and instantly recognise the scene its from....and it hits so emotionally at the same time

I used to read the Hobbit to my daughter waaay before there was a movie. She loved the way I would do the voices as I read. Especially Smeagol's. :)
How old were your siblings at the time? With my first child on the way, I’m thrilled about the thought of reading them Tolkiens work
I'm 73. I read The Hobbit in the early 70's. Never read any more Tolkien, nor did I see any of the movies. This music is incredible.
I cannot recommend reading the books or watching the films enough. They are truly incredible works of art, and the music is astonishing as well
🤗🌻
My first read of the Hobbit was in the early 70's as well, and it took me another few years to get into LOTR. It was amazing. I envy you your firt time read through, esp since you haven't seen the movies. Every time I re-read LOTR I wish it was my first time. It's pure delight. Even the parts where Tolkien describes all things in minute detail. (which, to be honest, you might not need to worry about the first time through. Just read it for the adventure and the delightful surprises around every bend) I'd recommend the books before the movies. PJ did an amazing job, but seriously, you want to turn the pages and see what's next without the influence of the movies.
Hard to believe LOTR was 20 years ago now 😮😢
All three films and soundtracks can never be touched.
Tolkien left an indelible mark upon the world with his literary masterpiece. Its effects can be felt in all storytelling forms, more than half a century later.
I reckon the films took a bit of that magic and made it their own.
I am at a really difficult place right now, and i am listening to this daily to keep relaxing my mind. I am not sure why i am writing this, but i've decided that i am going on a road of self-improvement and self-knowledge, which is not going to be easy but it is needed. Once i get the feeling that i am doing ok, that everything is going to be ok, i will replay to this comment ;)
Ill be waiting here my friend.
I'll be waiting for you man, good luck with whatever it is you're going through
All the best brother
I genuinely deep down in my heart believe that the soundtracks to both the Lord of the rings and The Hobbit were the greatest ever composed by a long shot

I bought the LOTR Collectors Edition Box set extended cut. It came in a Box and contains each of the 3 movies in their individual boxes. I still love to get them out every year or so and watch the full 6 dvds back to back. An absolutely epic tale. You simply cannot find anything in the realms of DnD that even comes close to this. I wish that there were more George Lucus' and Peter Jacksons' to make these epic tales.
one of the reason this movie is masterpiece is the soundtrack .. nothing can beat this beautiful music it can take me to middle earth without any other though .. middle earth is my home .. and the movie is epic .. no other tv series can take the movie place .. thank you peter Jackson for this amazing work
Thank Howard Shore for the music as well.
