just saw your concert in Phoenix last night and I sure wish this song was included my mom's seen your concert 3 times two of those times was on a cruise ship
I literally tear up anytime i hear this music. Middle Earth is the greatest world, book, film series of all time. It holds my heart and there is no form of entertainment that has been more impact and meaningful to me in my life, ever. Thank you for doing this guys. And even more so, thank you Tolkien for writing such perfection that inspired not only film makers but musicians alike to craft such beauty all because of the amazing world and stories you created. Rest in peace J.R.R Tolkien.

@Faith Chipman But it is a movie too. The tittle "Lord of the Rings" can refer to both movie and book, so the statement was perfectly sound. The movies are some of the best of all time with the most beautiful soundtrack, that statement is true.
@Faith Chipman the trilogy of the ring: The writing material, the books. the visual appearance, the movies. and the melodic experience. Both are amazing in their own way and together they are one master of great entertainment
So glad my wife told me about this piece, she walked down the aisle to the start of for our wedding. Thank you producing a beautiful piece of music guys!
I literally just searched this because my fiancé loves lord of the rings and I wanted to surprise him with a piece that would make him cry alittle. Love that your wife walked down to this!!!
@@jacquelinedeangelo9747 I would throughly recommend using it! We did it through a zoom stream as well and it came through very well! Good luck with your wedding and congrats!
The inspiration that flows from them truly must come, from deep inside were the gift of God almighty put it, even before they were a twinkle in the eyes of their parents! A perfect union
Every time I see this 3:09 I automatically take a deep breath in and smile, and it's not even voluntarily, getting chills down my back. That tune, that sun, that stream, that... and then I'm crying. *This* is what I consider *genius.*
@@christiannixon9400 Well, not really. First, Sam never wanted praise. And second, I think Sam is supposed to be the hero, the one everyone loves and relates to, not Frodo. Sam is plenty of people's favorite character, including mine. But Frodo sacrificed the most. In order to save the Shire and Middle-Earth, he had to give them up. That's why their friendship is so beautiful: neither can do their part without the other.
Ottoman Historian and that's a dumb answer. you can like the god damn song even if you haven't ever watched lotr. of course, if you love the movies then the soundtrack will be much more appealing to you. but anyway this is a masterpiece itself so it's not necessary to love the trilogy just to enjoy the music
I could honestly listen to 10 hours of this. I already loved the Lord of the rings music to begin with, I didn't think I could actually like this better.
Some day, hopefully in the very, very far future, we’re going to lose Howard shore, Hans Zimmer, John Williams, and I’m not ready for a world without their music
This is still one of the best masterpieces I have ever heard. It is like a beautiful and powerful song coming straight from the heavens. This will never be beaten by any other lotr music cover. I adore this.
Why would anyone dislike this.... Seriously, this is such a lovely video combined with touching music. It's way too difficult to imagine someone disliking it.
This brings back some of my earliest memories... the summer afternoon when my father sat down with me and my sister and we watched the first LoTR... I love these movies so much!
There is to this date no single group of people that make such inspirational and amazing music in my ears. I write this as I listen, and it sure does give me the chills.
The violin from the original sound track was uplifting and gracious, and the cello in this vid is courageous and strong. I adore both versions, having listened to both for as long as I can remember. Every time I hear either, my mind is overcome by ecstasy as I absorb the feeling and memories that comes from the movies and the playing. All the LOTR music is heavenly beautiful, I can’t get enough of it
The cello is my favorite instrument. I prefer the sound of an old fashioned acoustic cello. This piece would have been wrong on an electric cello. I am learning to love the variety available from his many electric cellos in other pieces.
Dear PianoGuys, I have loved these books since I was 4 years old. The films are one of my favorite things to watch when I'm down and out. Thank you so much for making this medley and sharing it...it brought me to tears. You're all amazing. ♥Kristin
Yeah, it was difficult at first, but I was the quintessential "nerd" when I was young...and still am. I learned to read quickly at a very young age. I got bored with children's books too fast. Today it's still one of my favorite books in the world. Same with The Hobbit. I have signed first editions of all three of the LotR books, plus a first edition of The Hobbit sitting on my bookshelf. :)
I am so sorry about your daughter. I haven't met you, and yet I feel pain and sorrow for your loss. Your music has brightened my life and home, and I am so grateful for what you guys have done. My heart and prayers are with you. I know that nothing can take away the pain of losing someone so close, but be joyful and glad in the knowledge of the Atonement and Resurrection, knowing that you will be with her, and all will be well.
These guys really do take you on a journey with this piece. In the description, they mention how most of their compositions come from musical binges and are completed within days. but this one came from intensive study and was way more thought out, to try and encompass what that movie means to its fans. At some points it feels like you’re embarking on an adventure, walking peacefully through a meadow, in the midst of trying to escape death, coming home... The video accompaniment is gorgeous, and to me it accentuates the music, amplifying how epic it is. As a Hobbit/LOTR fan, I really enjoyed this piece. It took me back to the books and movies, and I think it did real justice to the creative source from which they came.
This video is the reason I'm subscribed to the PianoGuys. Not only do they show such respect and love for one of my most beloved films of all time, but they are able to weave a story with their music. They are able to incorporate an orchestral sound using only a piano and cello. Plus, the cinematography and location is, as usual, stunningly beautiful.
Since discovering you guys awhile back I find myself listening to your music almost exclusively! You guys are truly a bright light in a world filled with too much darkness. May our Heavenly Father continue to bless your fingers, your heart and your soul!!
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king
Hi piano guys I'm play with my schools orchestra and you guys inspire me when ever I think a piece is way to hard to learn and master but when I look at you guys I see you playing without music sheets so I tell myself that the music I'm practicing is easy compared to what you play and thank you for inspiring me and millions of other kids
Okay, now I'm convinced: These guys are elves in disguise! And I tell you this: There are no words in the tongues of Elves fair and at peace, Men bold or Ents so old... for this masterpiece!
How is it possible you guys dont have at least 20 million followers? I am 100% honest when i say you do the most stirring, creative and inspiring music videos with the best musical and cinematic quality i have ever seen. In my life. My god.
Holy crap, it's already been over 10 years since this released? Have I followed you guys over a decade?!? Been here since Jarrod Radnich's pirates of the caribbean medly. Thank you for all these years and hope you will have at least 10 more prosperous years ahead.
[Revealing my age here] Anyone else remember how Gene Kelly, especially when he was dancing/singing solo, used to tip his head slightly back and maintain a small smile, as if he were in communication with something that we could not see, something wonderful? Steven Sharp Nelson does the same thing, even more vividly: one can see his love for the music he makes, his joy in playing, his delight in harmony -- marvelous!
Reminds me of Wales. Mainly because the Hobbits seem kinda welsh. Well, not kinda, definitely.... and the Dwarves seem Scottish... men uhhh.... Maybe English? Or Irish? Idk. If the Elves are based off the English I am leaving XD.
Lord of Light I don't find this much Irish at all, I'm Irish so I would know, if you wanna hear something Irish, listen to the Irish Rovers with songs like "Johnney I hardley knew ye" or "Drunken Sailor"
I'm Irish too, I wouldn't agree with your sweeping statement that you would know due to that. I think the song largely sampled (Concerning Hobbits) is distinctly linked with the Irish culture, with trad notes and progressions...though not in the genre of Drunken Sailor of course. And I'm studying my pHd in this, that is why I claim "I would know"!
I watched the video, how they played on the piano and when i sad Down in front of my piano i played the start without problems, i got so inspired that i started learning the Whole melody for my piano. I wanna thank PianoGuys with all of my Heart for this video.
I’m a fan of originality, meaning creating your own songs. I’ve never had that gift. I’m thinking you did or do. Without music, we’d all be done for. KEEP MUSIC ALIVE…forever!
I just love this song, so moving, so powerful, beautiful..amazing, just amazing..moves me to tears everytime..Hobbit and LoTR by far my most favorite fantasy novels and books..ever, without a doubt
Peter Jackson was the film genius to match Tolkien's literary genius... And Howard Shore was the musical genius to match them both together. Good job on this, you guys. Loved it.
Bloody heck mate, this is amazing. As an amateur musician, I love how evident it is that you two are just, for lack of a better term, completely in the zone, just absorbed into the music. This is not just two guys playing music. This is two guys *feeling* the music, *living* the music, and being totally captured by the music. It is that moment when musician, music, and instrument become one. Thank you for making this, you made my day.
I love the Lord of the Rings music. Howard Shore is a musical master. This piece is the best rendition I’ve heard, it blends all the themes and motifs so beautifully
+Dale Gribble maybe not,but you most definitely need time and interest. I for example love music but was never interested in learning an instrument,even if my family is very musical
Watching in 2020 also :) Beautiful... especially after my hubby and son just finished watching the third movie the other day. I tried, but I was bawling too much to watch that much. :)
I rewatched the whole trilogy a couple days ago and I cannot believe I thought Two Towers and Return of the King were better than Fellowship of the Ring. I guess in terms of action they're better and more exciting, but Fellowship has a lot more to offer. It has much better pacing and is more emotional than the 2nd and 3rd movies imo. 1st time I watched Fellowship, I thought it was just a great movie. But watching it again, paying attention to every detail, and listening to every line the character spoke, it hit me pretty good. Like when Boromir in Rivendell told Aragorn "Gondor has no king, Gondor needs no king" to when he's about to die and admits to Aragorn "I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My king." Fellowship is so underrated.
Deep Night They all have their great moments. The most emotional part was the ending when Frodo and Gandalf leave the shire. How could you miss that?!?! lol
you guys make me really bad for not playing cello or piano but i love it. Maybe if i find some sheet music, i'll try the duet with my brother. Thanks for the inspiration.

elco9791 yes you're right! (and i'm right too ahahah ^^) they called it "mordor and isengard" in the description so i just wrote mordor but we talk about the same part :)
+Tibori Andrei "The Lord of the Strings: The Celloship of the String" "The Lord of the Strings: The Two Tempos" "The Lord of the Strings: The Return of the Key" "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Jig" "The Hobbit: The Decrescendo of Smaug" "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Altos"
Русский Английский думаю никто не может утверждать что он самый яростный поклонник the lord of the rings. это такой фильм который можно либо обжать в наибольшей степени либо быть равнодушным. к последнему немогу найти ни одной причины (может быть отсутствие сердца) но я говорю это не в упрёк к тебе. ни в коем случае. А хочу показать этим величие этого фильма покорившего множество стран. dumayu nikto ne mozhet utverzhdat' chto on samyy yarostnyy poklonnik the lord of the rings. eto takoy fil'm kotoryy mozhno libo obzhat' v naibol'shey stepeni libo byt' ravnodushnym. k poslednemu nemogu nayti ni odnoy prichiny (mozhet byt' otsutstviye serdtsa) no ya govoryu eto ne v uprok k tebe. ni v koyem sluchaye. A khochu pokazat' etim velichiye etogo fil'ma pokorivshego mnozhestvo stran. I think no one can say that he is the most ardent fan of the lord of the rings. this is the kind of film that you can either compress to the greatest extent or be indifferent. I cannot find a single reason for the latter (maybe the absence of a heart), but I am not saying this as a reproach to you. in no case. And I want to show by this the greatness of this film that has conquered many countries.
Sorry, i don't speak english.... i am french......alors je voudrais juste vous remercier du bonheur que vous arrivez à offrir à travers vos interprétations, des moments de peines que vous pouvez effacer, des moments de doutes que vous faites oublier, des moments de joies que vous accompagnez..... Merci, merci, merci !
Man this brings back so many good memories. It's so soothing as well, Bilbo was my favorite Hobbit because he was just a Hobbit living in the Shire who then went on a crazy adventure. The ending of the last Hobbit movie was sad however with Thoren and the Elf girl.
+Atticus Voss "The Lord of the Strings: The Celloship of the String" "The Lord of the Strings: The Two Tempos" "The Lord of the Strings: The Return of the Key" "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Jig" "The Hobbit: The Decrescendo of Smaug" "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Altos"
I love how with each theme there is a change in brightness and location for e.g. The Shire ( I think that's what is called) takes place in a green surrounding with small trees and the sun shining down, exactly how the Shire should be, a beautiful place with simplistic people.
Love this song. So powerful and rich. If you guys ever read these, can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do I See Fire by Ed Sheeran? That would be SO amazing!!

woohoo!! yes!! i completely and entirely agree. thank you so much.
Perfectly said. Getting goosebumps while reading (and hearing) this.
soo true
Couldn’t agree more.
3:07 Concerning Hobbits ALWAYS brings a smile to my face whenever I hear it! Bilbo, Frodo and Gandalf come to mind and of course The Shire :)
And it always will :)
jsphat81 Absolutely true.
jsphat81 you forgot samvise ! :D
jsphat81 Speaking of hobbits, I would like to hear Song of the Misty Mountains from The Hobbit on a chello.

this video made all lord of the rings fans proud. bravo
yeah.

Defiantly. :D
I agree

HOW CAN ANYONE DISLIKE THIS MASTERPIECE? JUST. AMAZING. Cannot describe it. I wish Tolkien could listen to this.
their eyes are teary, thus can't see the buttons clearly.
People who don't like the Lord of the rings, this is a dumb question.
Ottoman Historian and that's a dumb answer. you can like the god damn song even if you haven't ever watched lotr. of course, if you love the movies then the soundtrack will be much more appealing to you. but anyway this is a masterpiece itself so it's not necessary to love the trilogy just to enjoy the music
I've never seen any lotr movies but still i love this song, so , what +M Josefina just said applies to me! :D
its fine it's only a little bit over a thousand
ps: must be lord of the rings die hard fans
I could honestly listen to 10 hours of this. I already loved the Lord of the rings music to begin with, I didn't think I could actually like this better.
I just.... I'm breathless hearing the music these guys can create.
Some day, hopefully in the very, very far future, we’re going to lose Howard shore, Hans Zimmer, John Williams, and I’m not ready for a world without their music
Same I might lose interest in new movies if their music isn't in it.
Well then, it's nice to know that we will never live in a world without their music. It will always be with us
The Second Coming of Jesus might happen once they leave.
This is probably one of my most favorite songs Piano Guys have released. Love the orc march!
Me 2
My favorite, hands down, no questions asked.
Same
Concerning Hobbits gives me goosebumps every time. What an amazing composed piece. The whole medley is incredible to be honest.
It's amazing that thet didnt just play Concerning hobbit, they even add a lot more song from the movement and the end result was spectacular.
Nathan Burton It is truly beatiful
They didn’t play the fucking concerning hobbits they played the breaking of the fellowship
Alpha Lagger yeah because they played the breaking of the fellowship not concerning hobbits
These guys really make RUclips a better place.
This is still one of the best masterpieces I have ever heard. It is like a beautiful and powerful song coming straight from the heavens. This will never be beaten by any other lotr music cover. I adore this.
Why would anyone dislike this.... Seriously, this is such a lovely video combined with touching music. It's way too difficult to imagine someone disliking it.
Because they lack the musical talent to play any form of instrument, I feel sorry for them.
Harry Phillips That's very mean you know. Even the lack of the musical talent doesn't make this to be disliked.
Jack Delle Some people just don't have good taste in music and if it isn't exactly what they are looking for, they don't like it.
no kidding
Harry Phillips, they play better than my music teachers(who have been in the business for over 20 years!!)
This brings back some of my earliest memories... the summer afternoon when my father sat down with me and my sister and we watched the first LoTR... I love these movies so much!
There is to this date no single group of people that make such inspirational and amazing music in my ears. I write this as I listen, and it sure does give me the chills.
The cello has such a heartbreaking ethereal tone that blows my mind every time I hear it. Like or just reply if you agree

You read the Lord of the Rings at four years old? Holy shit, that's not exactly an easy book.
Yeah, it was difficult at first, but I was the quintessential "nerd" when I was young...and still am. I learned to read quickly at a very young age. I got bored with children's books too fast.

They don't even play. They feel. I like how they smile when they are playing and it sounds pretty good. :)
several people have commented about it on several videos. i kinda think it's a little bit inspiring? i don't know.
This music is pure gold.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;

Dude sir, I agree but you didn't have to write a whole essay about it.
The poem is Tolkien and is actually written in the book this music was written for... Sigh
Janakoi and here i was thinking no one was guna get the reference :]
I waited so long for someone to mention this, you win.
Hi piano guys I'm play with my schools orchestra and you guys inspire me when ever I think a piece is way to hard to learn and master but when I look at you guys I see you playing without music sheets so I tell myself that the music I'm practicing is easy compared to what you play and thank you for inspiring me and millions of other kids
Rohan's theme makes me feel like me preparing to war, donning my armour, sheathing my sword, and marching towards death bravely.

for this masterpiece!

Steven Sharp Nelson does the same thing, even more vividly: one can see his love for the music he makes, his joy in playing, his delight in harmony -- marvelous!
It would be really awesome if you did the Misty Mountains Cold cover from the Hobbit: Unexpected Journey!
Telekinetic this
rofl k
The Hobbit movies were shit
The exchange of melodies and rhythms from one instrument to another is what gets me. Love you Piano Guys!!!
This kinda makes me cry a little its so like WOW makes me think about nature and life the hobbit and the lord of the rings!
me too
Reminds me of Wales. Mainly because the Hobbits seem kinda welsh. Well, not kinda, definitely.... and the Dwarves seem Scottish... men uhhh.... Maybe English? Or Irish? Idk. If the Elves are based off the English I am leaving XD.
m8 feels more like nz but that's just me
Lord of Light I don't find this much Irish at all, I'm Irish so I would know, if you wanna hear something Irish, listen to the Irish Rovers with songs like "Johnney I hardley knew ye" or "Drunken Sailor"
I'm Irish too, I wouldn't agree with your sweeping statement that you would know due to that. I think the song largely sampled (Concerning Hobbits) is distinctly linked with the Irish culture, with trad notes and progressions...though not in the genre of Drunken Sailor of course. And I'm studying my pHd in this, that is why I claim "I would know"!
I watched the video, how they played on the piano and when i sad Down in front of my piano i played the start without problems, i got so inspired that i started learning the Whole melody for my piano. I wanna thank PianoGuys with all of my Heart for this video.
So sorry to hear about your daughter, Mr. Schmidt. Your family will be in our prayers.
I’m a fan of originality, meaning creating your own songs. I’ve never had that gift. I’m thinking you did or do. Without music, we’d all be done for. KEEP MUSIC ALIVE…forever!
I just love this song, so moving, so powerful, beautiful..amazing, just amazing..moves me to tears everytime..Hobbit and LoTR by far my most favorite fantasy novels and books..ever, without a doubt
You guys really nailed the Gondor theme. Gave me goosebumps.
Peter Jackson was the film genius to match Tolkien's literary genius... And Howard Shore was the musical genius to match them both together. Good job on this, you guys. Loved it.
3:09 Always gives me the chills when I come back to this video
+Killstr3aker01 OMG! reminds me of the bitter sweet ending Lord of the RIngs... T_T
+Killstr3aker01 ikr
Bloody heck mate, this is amazing. As an amateur musician, I love how evident it is that you two are just, for lack of a better term, completely in the zone, just absorbed into the music. This is not just two guys playing music. This is two guys *feeling* the music, *living* the music, and being totally captured by the music. It is that moment when musician, music, and instrument become one. Thank you for making this, you made my day.
I love the Lord of the Rings music. Howard Shore is a musical master. This piece is the best rendition I’ve heard, it blends all the themes and motifs so beautifully
This is so inspiring with them feeling the music, and where they're playing it in... it makes me want to pick up my cello and start playing this.
I cant play any instruments...
But i can feel how this cello guy is feeling his music in his face expressions. 3:20 for example
why cant u play instruments
+Dale Gribble no time/talent/interest?
BoS Knight well you dont need talent to play an instrument
+Dale Gribble maybe not,but you most definitely need time and interest. I for example love music but was never interested in learning an instrument,even if my family is very musical
But you do need talent to play anything like as well as these guys.
I cried.....I'd walk down the isle with this song if I could
why yes sir thank you I would love a smoke.
Constantin Negura Everything sounds better on cello, that is why.
Pashion_Ends Hey stupid, why don't you go hunt up a rap video? Obviously more sensitive, cerebral music is beyond you.
Have a nice day!
mersaphireful well done!! hahaha
2019 anyone? As a true LOTR fan, this got me cryinnn
2011
YES IT DO
2020
Watching in 2020 also :) Beautiful... especially after my hubby and son just finished watching the third movie the other day. I tried, but I was bawling too much to watch that much. :)
I know that feeling. I think I’m done crying then Rohan them starts playing.2020
Nothing but respect and love for the piano guys💖💖💖💖💖
All the feels.
I rewatched the whole trilogy a couple days ago and I cannot believe I thought Two Towers and Return of the King were better than Fellowship of the Ring. I guess in terms of action they're better and more exciting, but Fellowship has a lot more to offer. It has much better pacing and is more emotional than the 2nd and 3rd movies imo. 1st time I watched Fellowship, I thought it was just a great movie. But watching it again, paying attention to every detail, and listening to every line the character spoke, it hit me pretty good. Like when Boromir in Rivendell told Aragorn "Gondor has no king, Gondor needs no king" to when he's about to die and admits to Aragorn "I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My king." Fellowship is so underrated.
I agree
Deep Night They all have their great moments. The most emotional part was the ending when Frodo and Gandalf leave the shire. How could you miss that?!?! lol
why see it as 3 movies? it's one great story
Nothing beats when Theoden grabs his sword in the golden hall in two towers. pure emotion
+Josh Lyman I freaking agree to this!!!!!
you guys make me really bad for not playing cello or piano but i love it. Maybe if i find some sheet music, i'll try the duet with my brother. Thanks for the inspiration.
Here's a resource for some sheet music. - thepianoguys.com/shop/#sheetmusic Never stop playing! :)
thanks guys for everything you guys are doing. you inspired me to play the cello Steve:)
I cant find the Lord of the Rings sheet in your site, pls help me :D
thepianoguys.com/shop/#sheetmusic. that's where you can find a lot of their stuff.
Please upload this and other songs missing in your shop, i want to buy them D:
I watch this over and over again ( 'there and back again' to true fans) This performance never looses its soul moving beauty. Thank you
3:20 is the best part....
Of course, but the part from 3:20 is the most beautiful :)
6:05 was the worst part... ) :
All of it is the best part!
I like 2:08
Please do a cover on Narnia theme songs!
Omg Yes! That would be awesome.
BRAVO Gentlemen! Powerful, moving. Love seeing you "feel" what your playing in all the songs.
I agree

Nicholas Peterman one of the best comments ever :)
+Nicholas Peterman geez! you must be genius
RoX treme127 Nah, I just had a moment of creative enlightenment. Not as glorious as I just made it sound. XD
+Nicholas Peterman the same comment was on Lindsey Stirling's cover of Lord of the Rings.
i can visualize the fire's of gondor being lit 4:09-5:40
I can't begin to describe how your music makes me feel.. Thank you for sharing your passion for music with us.
This is so beautiful it made me cry.
The Shire theme tugged my heart. I've always been a fan of Tolkien's tales. This is just simply beautiful!!
Gondor theme is so epic!
Yes!
The lighting of the beacons… I think thats the most beautiful version I’ve ever heard! Thank you so very much for this arrangement🎉
Simplemente hermoso... me llegó al alma, especialmente en la música de los Rohirim... dan ganas de volver a recordar la película..
I get teary at the end of "Return of the King" when Gandalf tells Frodo "It is time!"
You should read the books! The ending offers more closure in the books, in my humble opinion.
Being the biggest Lord of the ring's fan on planet earth all I can say is......Awesome!

думаю никто не может утверждать что он самый яростный поклонник the lord of the rings. это такой фильм который можно либо обжать в наибольшей степени либо быть равнодушным. к последнему немогу найти ни одной причины (может быть отсутствие сердца) но я говорю это не в упрёк к тебе. ни в коем случае. А хочу показать этим величие этого фильма покорившего множество стран.
dumayu nikto ne mozhet utverzhdat' chto on samyy yarostnyy poklonnik the lord of the rings. eto takoy fil'm kotoryy mozhno libo obzhat' v naibol'shey stepeni libo byt' ravnodushnym. k poslednemu nemogu nayti ni odnoy prichiny (mozhet byt' otsutstviye serdtsa) no ya govoryu eto ne v uprok k tebe. ni v koyem sluchaye. A khochu pokazat' etim velichiye etogo fil'ma pokorivshego mnozhestvo stran.
I think no one can say that he is the most ardent fan of the lord of the rings. this is the kind of film that you can either compress to the greatest extent or be indifferent. I cannot find a single reason for the latter (maybe the absence of a heart), but I am not saying this as a reproach to you. in no case. And I want to show by this the greatness of this film that has conquered many countries.
Sorry, i don't speak english.... i am french......alors je voudrais juste vous remercier du bonheur que vous arrivez à offrir à travers vos interprétations, des moments de peines que vous pouvez effacer, des moments de doutes que vous faites oublier, des moments de joies que vous accompagnez..... Merci, merci, merci !
This gave me chills. Absolute perfection!
Man this brings back so many good memories. It's so soothing as well, Bilbo was my favorite Hobbit because he was just a Hobbit living in the Shire who then went on a crazy adventure. The ending of the last Hobbit movie was sad however with Thoren and the Elf girl.
Thorin is the king. Its his nephew kili and the elf girl.
+Gwyneth Hill Dang it I knew it started with a K! So I just went with Thoren, that way someone could correct me and I thank you for helping me!
+Sonia Strumm Yo... Samwise the Brave doe
+Ghost1170 ghost sorry man but it's your time....again.
Ghosthunter 226 I dun get the reference Sorry :[
Who DARED to dislike this?!

Nicholas Peterman Nice!
Sauron.
I love how with each theme there is a change in brightness and location for e.g. The Shire ( I think that's what is called) takes place in a green surrounding with small trees and the sun shining down, exactly how the Shire should be, a beautiful place with simplistic people.
How on the middle earth can someone click dislike?! This video is perfection.
Misty mountains theme pleaseeee
Love this song. So powerful and rich.
If you guys ever read these, can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do I See Fire by Ed Sheeran? That would be SO amazing!!
Hannah Walker Oh my gosh, that would be amazing!
Hats off to Peter Jackson 🙌🏻
You're a true legend 🥺
Narnia, HTTYD, and the Lion King Musical all have AWESOME songs to play, just saying. :)
Thank you! :)
+Amy Hammond OH YES NARNIA
+Amy Hammond Yeah HTTYD is AWESOME

By buying their album or song. :D
Stalin when did you turn capitalist?!

Whenever I listen to the soundtracks, it always makes me want to watch the series again.
It isn't series.
the first 30 seconds of this video already give me chills
3:10
that melody was just made for the cello, so beautiful.
Btw, since 2012 you have grown a million a year, congrats to 5 million
No, it was made for the movie
It must be so ridiculously hard to play this on the piano.
I LOVE IT!
Bravo! Marvelous cover. Howard Shore must be proud of you guys.
This is SO beautiful! I play the cello and I can never even imagine sounding this heavenly
