Into the West,
Written by Annie Lennox, Fran Walsh and Howard Shore (2003)
The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King Soundtrack
- | LYRICS |-
Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You’ve 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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West

Dear gods above, I didn't want to be ugly crying tonight. But that intro did it.
I don't like audio books as a rule, but I really would make an exception for The Lord of The Rings, read by Karliene
;-; honestly I think she should try it out...
I was just thinking that, she would be good narrator
Actually the latest version is read by Andy serkis
I like the reading part a lot. Such a soothing voice. Like cold springwater on a fresh cut.
Hmm, didn't mean for it to sound like I didn't like the actual song. :-)
Of course I did.
...like the calming reassurance of an old friend. As a reader of books and a lover of words...it helps to bridge the gap between Tolkien's eloquence and the films' imagery. Well done...well read...and well sung.
Thank you so much. Your comment is so touching. :-)
I think of Bilbo and Thorin reuniting when I hear this song. Such a wonderful song.
The thing is... They never will meet again... Dwarves go to a separate area of the Halls of Mandos, Humans and Hobbits go to another, and Elves go to yet another.
Tyler Brennon yeah, but I like to think they have mead halls, of sorts, where they can meet and smoke and drink.
Jonathan Law no, I've read the hobbit, the Silmarillion and the Lotr trilogy. and is appreciate if you didn't act like I was an idiot for expressing an OPINION. something I never stated to be fact, but rather something I'd prefer.
Thats really nice man!
Carl Brittain agreed. I think this is how it would go:
- Bilbo: looking around the halls in curiosity
He then hears a familiar voice
- Thorin: Bilbo?
- Bilbo: Thorin?
They both run to each other and hug each other like brothers
- Bilbo (with tears in his eyes): it’s nice to see you again Thorin
- Thorin: it’s nice to see you again, old friend
"and the winds of the round sky troubled it no more, and borne upon the high airs above the mists of the world it passed into the Ancient West" - The SIlmarillion, the very last paragraph. This was beautiful, Karliene!
I don't know if it's because of the opening narration or what, but this version of the song made me cry. It is so very beautiful and pure and sincere.
My dog died few weeks ago.I had her since I was 3 years old and I'm 14 now almost 15.I cried the night she died and the day we buried her .So since then I was locking myself in my room with my books.But when I heard you singing this song,a minute later a found myself crying and begging her to come back.So thank you I really needed this.❤
Why don't we all have a Merry and Pipin in moments like that to cheer us up or a Sam to hold us !?
Just a random guy You just read my mind!! I also think that way. And it makes me sad that we can't have a Bilbo to cheer us up and make us smile in the good and bad times and a Sam to hold us really thigt to say "Everything is going to be just fine, trust me! There is no need for you to cry like that... because I am rigth here beside you!!!"
I can relate. I had a dog, a puppy when I was about 8 or 9. We grew up together and she went every where with me, trotting along beside my bicycle or nest to me when walking. I so love my dear Pup Pup! She died ad when I was in my early 20s. I cried. And now, I a 6' 1" and weigh 280lbs and fear no one. But I will cry like a baby for an animal. My cat got caught in the fan of my car and was mangled and suffering and spitting blood and I had to shoot her to put hr out of her misery. I held that cat to my heart for 3 hours and just rocked it and cried.
I cannot express just how much this song means to me. I want your rendition to be played at my funeral.
I would like that too my friend.
You understand a fundamental truth. Music cannot be heard or played, it must be felt. It must be felt in the soul and the mind, it must be the utter expression of one's heart and love. You express that truth, that unbelievable beauty that only a true artist can bring forth. I love you for being able to do this, to give your soul to the world and awaken the love of others.
Joey Fredrickson Thank you so much for such a lovely comment. I'm really, really touched by how much you like my work. xx
+Karliene beautiful song,great work
First off, you start reading an extract from the book. I've always preached that you are an amazing singer, and now you've given us even more proof of how damn intelligent you are. That reached me in ways I will never describe here, but the song is important to me. I am serious, when The Return of The King came out it became my favourite song and I have always wanted it to be played at my funeral. But now I've changed my mind.
Now I want THIS cover of the song to be played at my funeral. I know this is no fancy review I simply had no time to analyse your cover. I was so struck by it, stunned. I've admitted to have cried with several of your songs, but not like this... Not like this.
And that is the best compliment you will ever receive from me.
Plus, it was lovely hearing you read, as I am in depth studying British accents. And that I did analyse, sound by sound. It was objectively speaking; treassure to me, thank you.
My cat Sam (named after the hobbit) recently passed away and as they put him down i sang this song for him… I miss him more than anything…
Rest in peace sam…
2008-2022…
This has to be one of my favourite songs , I always cry when Miss Lennox sings it but you have me in floods of tears , bawling ! My father passed away suddenly almost 6 months ago and when ever I hear this song I think of him , thank you
When the harmonies started to pick up at 1:51... ALL THE CHILLS!
Ohhhh I feel like I can finally lay down my head from sorrow when I listen to this. Sooo beautifuul 🥀🍂💓
It can be so tricky taking a swelling, powerful song and making it your own, but you have absolutely done just that. Your voice is strong enough to carry the message of this song without any added instruments, excepting your own beautiful harmonizing. Your speaking voice is very soothing as well, dear, incredible job!
***** speaks total truth Karliene you have a fantastic voice with such a broad spectrum though so do you Ashley. That's why I can say your duet was phenomenal
You're so sweet Ashley, thank you so much for coming by to listen to my latest one and for being so kind. It means a lot. xx
This will be one of the songs played at my funeral.
This is absolutely beautiful. It's always been one of my favorite songs from the Lord of the Rings movies, which is saying something, because the soundtracks to those movies are amazing. I love this!
Oh My God!!!!!!!!! I love how you started with an excerpt from The Lord of the Rings. And the song was absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!
I especially liked her reading from the book at the start. Anyone should be able to appreciate this wonderful rendition.
This was perfect. The introduction, reading text from the book -- that's exactly what this needed. Beautiful!
it is so beautiful but at the same time "its the end" makes me cry every time .....
I love this song and the way that Annie sings it beyond wonderful, but your version of this song is just...breathtaking. It is so powerful because there are no harps or strings or a grand orchestra to back you up, it's just your voice. Your soft tone and subtle harmonies throughout the piece just make this phenomenal. For four and a half minutes all of my worries, cares, and concerns just slipped away and your angelic voice soothed my soul. Thank you so much for this, it is truly perfection.
This is the best cover of Into the West I have heard so far.
I love the Lord of the Rings and this song represents it so truthly. Thank you so much for such a beautiful cover. This is amazing. You are an amazing artist. 🙏🙏🙏
I showed this to my mom just a minute ago and she said it was amazing and she almost cried! xx
Hi Karliene, I have listened to this song 2 or 3 times a day for the last 2 weeks, my eyes still well at every rendition. In 2 hours time I will carry my 22 year old son into church on his last journey. Your song gives me great comfort. I thank you for sharing this Kindest regards William D
Your 3 years havent been of no avail. It is perfect! I listened to it several times. The reading in the beginning is marvellous! And your voice very sweet. This is one of my favourite songs and thanks to you I came into the pleasure of listening to it a second time for the first time, if thats makes any sense at all! One of the best versions I have enjoyed of it!
I was on the verge of crying when I heard this. You have a beautiful voice, singing of the stories of Tolkien's legendarium. As a fan of Tolkien, you have my utmost admiration.
3 years in the making? Totally worth it. Still in love with your voice!
... aw, bugger, now I feel the urge to watch the movies yet again. See you in 10 hours.
Watch the directors cut...3 hours longer.
Oh have I fallen in love with everything you sing! You have a beautiful and powerful voice that seems to pull people in like a soft lullaby. I wish someone would direct another movie where your song would be the main theme everyone remembers and tears over. Thank you!!
I just finished reading The Silmarillion today, and I've been sitting listening to Middle-earth music for like an hour now. I came across this cover, and I'm getting really emotional here. Thank you so much for this beautiful cover!
25 more books to go. The Silmarillion isn’t the only book. ❤️
Beautiful. There is no other word for this.
Stunning Karliene! Absolutely brilliant and so beautiful! I am so happy you were finally able to sing this song in a way that satisfied you, it was absolute string of golden harmony! 😊
!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this! I love this song and anytime I have to audition for something I sing this! ^_^ this is why I love following you..I love hearing your newest music.
😂 Amazingly beautifully. I really liked how you read a passage from the novel in the beginning just to express the meaning of the song.
Had a very long, bad day, and this has made me sob like a baby, but feel better somehow. Thank you,
Wow! wow! wow! I listened to this while at work, had the lights in my office dimmed, due to a bad migraine. I clicked to listen to your newest offering, and I just let me eyes close, and was immediately surrounded by a beautiful, ethereal voice. This music always touched me in a soft way in LOTR, but never in the way your rendition just did with the lyrics. You were able to transport me to a different world. While I still have my migraine, I'm sure that with a few more listens on my part, with eyes closed, you will have me so relaxed, poof, migraine might be vanquished. I absolutely loved it!! You are now officially my new favourite singer. And I am officially your newest fan. Thank you so much from Canada.
:-)
The fourth time I listened to this I tried to hit the pause button to go get some coffee. I wasn't able to. Simply beautiful!
One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
Your voice is so beautiful. I am stunned to hear you sang this beautiful epic song. Well done, kind ma'am
thus is the most beautiful version of this I have ever seen
heard sorry
Never watched or heard the original or LOTR, but im obssesed with this, I love it💕
Don't get me wrong, nothing will beat the original but by damn... If that wasn't absolutely breathtaking. This is one of my favourite songs & I am honoured to have heard it done so well. Great stuff.
wow no words to describe but Breathtakingly Beautiful
so beautiful, when i am stressed out because of school, i am Always listening to this song. it helps me to relax! THANKS SO MUCH!!
So Sweet, so beautiful, so unique, so loving and so kind. Bless you.
OH MY SHUDDERING SOUL!!! How have I not discovered this (and you, Karliene) sooner!!!??? You have the spirit and the sublime indefinable instinct for music which stretches far beyond words. . . . your work is absolutely amazing! You stirred me so deeply with this song.
Thank you!
I'm so loving this comment and i'm moved and thrilled you're enjoying my music so much. It means a lot to me. x
Ohhhh my! :') .... this is pure magic through music!
Amazing... I'm still crying.... The most emotional cover I've ever heard T-T
Can you please do the song Legolas sang when the fellowship came to Lorien?? That song is so sad and your voice will be perfect with the mood!(did that come off weird?) Love you always!
Your speaking from the book really made it all the more believable~ I seen it before me as you spoke. and of course as you went on to sing!
Your talent...your voice...always moves me to tears. I love this version just beautiful how you stripped it back. You can hear the pureness of your voice. Especially the book passage at the start...this whole song is just beautiful. And I'm very sorry but I think I broke the replay button
I am so glad you decided to go with just your voice. Nothing you might have added could have sounded as beautiful.
Wow. At a loss for words. Six years on your art is still moving people, bravo.
I'm crying so much, thank you for doing this Karliene. High school has been really hard on me and he thing I always go back to is your music. I've been a Wolfpack member for years and I just love how I feel when you sing. I feel safe and happy. Thank you.
id love to see a video of just the humming in the start. just for relaxing it would be amazing
Mysterious Swordsman I agree, that would be so relaxing.
Mysterious Swordsman agreed. Sounds like something I'd smoke my pipe to.
Your songs reflect your heart and we can be nothing but impressed by your songs!
Loved it! I also liked the excerpt read in the beginning to give the song the right environment it belongs to
The best and most joyfull ending one could wish for yet so sad .
i would listen to you read the hobbit and lotr just cause your voice is so pretty. and the song is angelic.
Goosebumps.
Literally crying.
*Subscribes immediately* Though it has a vulgarity about it, I believe Scottish is the most beautiful accent of the English language. And you Karliene, you have the most beautiful of Scottish voices.
DivrgntSentinel I don't see it as vulgar. Rather, to me, its just more... rough hewn... than other accents. Like a towering mountain wreathed in dark clouds. Not all will find it stunning, but for those to whom it speaks, soul to soul, it is a beauty more compelling than any other.
This actually gave me goosebumps a couple of times throughout! Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing! :')
Gorgeous rendition.
Such a beautiful song in such an equally beautiful language. It touched tender chords of my heart till my eyes watered up. Le hannon mellon nin!! Le Hannon!!
I cried, this is so beautiful. I can't tell you how much I loved this cover. You're amazing Karliene
You feel me on this, it was breathtaking..
This is, in my opinion, your best song of the last 6 months or so. VERY well done!
wow, speechless.........................
I'm so in love with LOTR and the Hobbit (AGAIN) *silently crying because of the end of the Hobiit* TT^TT Love it
OMG!
CHILLS!!! I'VE GOT CHILLS!!!
SO GOOD!!!
This was worth the wait!!! This is so good!!!
You continue to impress me. And the exerpt at the beginning was the perfect touch.
I just loved this song by LOTR:) your voice is just amazing that I could actually feel the song in my heart. You have a great voice and you are very pretty. After I watched all the Hobbit movies (last one put me in tears) I loved middle earth since LOTR came out. You sing wonderful and keep you the work:) never let anyone put you down. Thank you so much first making this video.
#WOLFPACKFORLIFE ***** you never cease to amaze me with your amazing talent. This song you have done so beautifully. You are always such a treat to listen to. You can hear such emotion and passion woven through your singing. Truly your talent is boundless. It always makes my day to get the notification that you have uploaded another video. Excitement fills me and i am never disappointed. To this song you did so fantastic. i give you a virtual standing ovation. Thank you for sharing your talent with us . You truly are a wonderful angel
I have no words for how beautiful this is. I am just dying over BotFA and all my Middle-Earth feels are all over the place and then I see this, and just :'( So beautiful, this song always makes me cry and I love your version of this, the way you stripped everything away and the excerpt at the beginning :) I hope when the credit song for BotFA is released, you'll perhaps do a cover of that too. Love your work, keep being awesome
one of my favourite songs ever...and love your version every bit as much as the original...I am a new fan and glad to have found you on itunes.
Omg... Where have you been in my life?! Love your voice!
The Downloader Did an Awesome Job on these Videos I'm already her Fan
I discovered this through clicking on 'Gently as she goes' from Beowulf. As I listen to every new song I find another more amazing than the one before. It is a world that opens to me, a world that gives all my favourite fandoms a different tune, a different voice that haunts and moves me with its clarity and brilliance. I am blessed to have found you, Karliene, I am truly amazed by your work!
Very, very fine performance. Good call.
The calling of all spacefarers... will any of us ever make it... against all odds..
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!
when i die, i want this song, karliene her voice, this wil bring me back home to the elysium fields, where i wil meet my ancestors, my two daughters who wait for me
This moved me beyond words. I was actually in tears. Amazing job.
As always, that's beautiful. Thanks Karliene.. :)
You put so much effort and passion into your work and this song is no exception. Your performance was so believable, you sounded like an angel with your calm, soothing voice. No, I lied. You ARE an angel. Three years in the making? Well, it was worth every single second.
Wow... Beautiful. That's just perfect, you feel every single word you say, it's just perfect, as always
I broke my mouse due to clicking the replay button =)
Magnificent song, one of my preferred, your voice is always so beautiful.
Forgiveness for my bad English =)
Come in France, for pity's sake!!!
Tüylerim diken diken oldu.Bu kız işi biliyor (y)
I officially respect you. immensely. you are doing the series justice and I think most can appreciate the care you've put into these works. also you have an amazing voice
Well worth the effort, had no idea this one took a lot of work because you made it appear as though this was another one of your beautiful creations.
Finished each movie and immediatly played this as the credits rolled for Return Of The King. I dont know why. I suppose to hit those emotional chords even more than they already were. Wonderful song. Honestly you are one of my favorite musicans
so beautiful!
Very beautiful voice. 💘 Congratulations.
It's lovely and beautiful
You have the most beautiful voice but when you read from The Lord of The Rings, the truly touched my heart and soul.
Thank you, keep up the hard work
I think you and Peter Hollens ought to do a duet of this number. It would take some work to merge your styles, but I think the effort would be worth it!!! INMHO
love your version so much
This song is absolutely incredible, I love this so much! ♥
Beautiful and absolutely amazing music :)
