Peter Jackson wants us all to leave the cinemas sobbing this next December. I was announced that Billy Boyd would be singing the End Credits song for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. I already got emotional just reading this piece of news. And the I remembered the song he sand in Return of the King and I got goosebumps.
Now, that we can actually listen to “The Last Goodbye”, the song that will be used to close this amazing series of 6 films, I swear I’ve been crying since yesterday.
Just listen to the song:
Yeah, tear-jerker, right? Now pay attention to the freaking lyrics:
I saw the light fade from the sky
On the wind I heard a sigh
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers
I will say this last goodbye
Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the Sea
Under cloud, beneath the stars
Over snow one winter’s morn
I turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell
Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don’t regret
Nor will I forget
All who took the road with me
Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the Sea
To these memories I will hold
With your blessing I will go
To turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell
I bid you all a very fond farewell.
He’s freaking talking to us, right? He is biding us farewell!!! OMG, I’m crying! I don’t want to leave Middle Earth! Can’t they just film The Silmarillion or something?
Please remind me not to use eyeliner or mascara when I go see this movie, deal? I mean, come on! There’s already a meme for it:
