The lyrics may be composed differently than Tolkien wrote them, but NO OTHER adaptation matches the character of Tom Bombadil as good as this one! *Kudos!*
If we ever got Tom in a movie or show, he had better be singing this version of the song. Either you must play him, or your voice plays over the end credits! Love the energy.
I think Tom Bombadil is in the upcoming Rings of Power! But sadly, he couldn't be as good as this singing Bombadil from this video :( it's not possible
I dunno how it took me this long to find this version but it's perfect. Been listening to this on loop for the last two days. This is now Tom's voice for me
It's an absolute crime against humanity that Peter Jackson did not include Tom Bombadil in the LOTR movies. He was by far the most magical character in a magical story. Neither man nor elf, what is he? Possessed of great power, but he did not use it (or maybe his power was maintaining the natural world). An enigma, but wholly good, detached yet connected to Nature, was there before, and will be there after.
I was reading the Fellowship of the Ring and found myself trying to get the right tune and tone for this. I was failing miserably, but kept at it. Found the brightness and silliness and said "Someone has probably cracked this. I will seek them." Then I found this. And not only is the music perfect, but your video is joyfully hilarious - and I have a bud named Tom, has piercings and has a dry wit with his light beard. You could be his brother, seriously. So I laughed and I hit LIKE. Perfection. It is on my playlist now. And I told him about it, too!
Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! Hop along! Fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol! My darling! Light goes the weather-wind and the feathered starling. Down along under Hill, shining in the sunlight, Waiting on the doorstep for the cold starlight, There my pretty lady is, River-woman's daughter, Slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water. Old Tom Bombadil water-lilies bringing Comes hopping home again. Can you hear him singing? Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Now let the song begin! Let us sing together! Of sun, stars, moon and mist, rain and cloudy weather, Light on the budding leaf, dew on the feather, Wind on the open hill, bells on the heather, Reeds by the shady pool, lilies on the water: Old Tom Bombadil and the River-daughter! Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow; Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow. Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo! Awesome work man!
So you're on the way home from work and you find yourself being attacked by a tree or whatever (as we often do). And just when you think hope's lost you hear this in the distance and you know its all gonna be good
If they ever make a Lord of the Rings show and don’t include this song I’ll be very very disappointed. Great job man I think you really got Tom Bombadillos spirit with this song.
I've listened to this so much that it's in my stable youtube recommendation samples. Love your attitude, your style and your talent man, we need more Tom Bombadil in this world, peace
Major respect from Music Swop Shop Melbourne Australia. We are obsessed with this song. We are a consignment music instrument store. Look out for Swoppy bands DAVE 1000 and Gargoyle in 2024. Both bands love this song x
@@kazikmajster5650 Tom Bombadil might not be the most angelic of singers, but his voice cuts away the wraiths like fog. His voice is one of power and happiness.

The one dislike is from Sauron himself.
And the Second is Sarumon

Would he dare though?
Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow, bright blue his jacket and his boots are yellow!
B!
Can someone get Peter Hollend this mans contacts?! This is the best rendition of the Tom Bombadill song I've ever heard!
This man IS tom bombadil without the bright blue jacket, the yellow boots and the hat with the blue feather
I'm currently going through a phase where I listen to this daily
It's medicine
You will not be invited to the council of elrond
@@turnipsociety706 We're pleased to stay with the River Daughter
Daily? I’m listening to this hourly xddd❤
Wow

This is now my favorite version.
Tom bless you
I refuse to accept any other version of this song. This is exactly how Tom Bombadil would sing his song.
Hand over the remaining rainforests to this man!
This is the best interpretation of a song I have ever come across, well done merry fellow!
easily the best I've heard. all the others I've come across are slow and drawn out. This one you can actually imagine Tom skipping along singing.
Absolutely agree!
*YES! THIS MAN UNDERSTANDS TOM BOMBADIL!*
I want to go to renaissance fair with this guy! 🧙🏻♂️ 🍻
"None have ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the master. His songs are stronger songs and his feet are faster!" 👏❤ This was so fun to listen to.
Back here after the announcement of Tom in the RoP series, boy do I wish this song was on Spotify so I could listen constantly :P
I can feel the happinness in your eyes and the kindness as you are singing this awesome song ! You should do more of Tom's songs!
I've listened to this on loop for 5 hours while drawing gnomes, amazing experience
If this be true, please never change, stay gold strange gentlemen.
There are no gnomes in Tolkein's Middle-Earth.
Tom Bombadil would totally dance to this song
Absolutely!
I dunno how it took me this long to find this version but it's perfect. Been listening to this on loop for the last two days. This is now Tom's voice for me
I wish this was on spotify!
Me too!
TOM TOM JOLLY TOM, I'M HAVING A JOLLY GOOD TIME

Sound like a viking pirate Celtics folk song. My favorite genre!
What a merry fellow. Love this!
Hail Tom Bombadil ! Thank you Sir
GOOD VIBES REALLY
This is how I imagine it now when it says that Frodo gained strength as he continued to sing the song
This is a great song!!

This has been stuck in my head all day. Love it!
This fire is hot enough to destroy the Ring.

Light goes the weather-wind and the feathered starling.
Down along under Hill, shining in the sunlight,
Waiting on the doorstep for the cold starlight,
There my pretty lady is, River-woman's daughter,
Slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water.
Old Tom Bombadil water-lilies bringing
Comes hopping home again. Can you hear him singing?
Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!

Awesome work man!
I love this version of this song, tis my favorite!!! I'd love to hear some other Tolkien songs interpreted by you.
For sure this is Tom Bombadil's favorite version of his own song ! Awesome!! 🧙🏼♂️
Tom MFing Bombadil (Merry Fellowing)
How this doesnt have 10 gazillion views is beyond my ken...
So you're on the way home from work and you find yourself being attacked by a tree or whatever (as we often do). And just when you think hope's lost you hear this in the distance and you know its all gonna be good
Tolkien would not have liked any modern adaptations of his work... until now.
Imagine a show just about Tom Bombadil and how he lives and interacts with travelers through his land
Few things in this world can overcome the power of Sauron's ring. A merry tune and a glad heart are two of them.
hearing it i feel like i became uncorrupted pure hearted like Tom Bombadil
No dislikes. Perfect.
Depression cured
This is everything I ever wanted and didn't know. Your interpretation feels so true to the soul of the character. I love it! Thanks
*Same!*
Everyone is gansta until they hear Tom Bombadil bassy tones, as old man willow learnt.
masterpiece
I have had this song stuck in my head for a week, and I am just fine with it. I LOVE IT
Tom Bombadil, the mystical legend.
Great work merry fellow!
This is incredible!!!! I just got to this point in the fellowship audiobook. "Toms got a house to mind and goldenberry waiting!"
Reading fellowship for the first time and I just had to google to see if anyone had done Tom's song. This is so fucking good.
I would love for a version with the whole song!
brilliant
The best song for the best character of LOTR!
lovin it dude !
I love this so much
If they ever make a Lord of the Rings show and don’t include this song I’ll be very very disappointed. Great job man I think you really got Tom Bombadillos spirit with this song.
There are Lord of the RIngs movies u know for quite some time now. at least 15 years
@@doiron12 they said show, not a movie
Oof, pre- rings of power hope kicks me in the groin.
@@redrow3629
We do not speak of that show.
@@redrow3629 that is not canon in Middle Earth. It's not even canon irl.
Amazing work man!
Next time I read fellowship. Imma just play this instead of reading the song - awesome work mate!
I love it! Thank you!!! He's my favorite character in the Lord of the Rings after Samwise. I wish they hadn't left him out of the Movies. :)
I have to be 1000 of the 21K views on this video.
I love this. The only negative to the short version was that we didn't get to hear more of toms song.
In 1.5x speed this sounds, if possible, even more fitting
Ohrwurm incoming. Great work!
saw this on your tiktok, i love it so much
That song makes me TOO HAPPY i think that ur work is pure happines
My favorite version
*Same*
I've listened to this so much that it's in my stable youtube recommendation samples. Love your attitude, your style and your talent man, we need more Tom Bombadil in this world, peace
This never fails to cheer me up
This makes me very happy. Thank you.

A masterpiece! Reading LOTR and hearing this is perfect
I can't stop listening to this
Amazing !!💖👍👍😍
This has genuinely made me happy. Thank you
Jolly good time indeed, very uplifting :D
Love the hurdy gurdy!
Das wird auf jeden Fall bei der nächsten Zusammenkunft in der Schänke gespielt ;)
Wish i could like this video twice.
Thank you
You're really an incarnation of Tom Bombadil. Awesome performance.

This is amazing lol thank you
This is easily the definitive version of this song now !
Dude, this is really good
Mate that was brilliant 😁 loved it!! 🧙🏻♂️
Wow wow wow. Good form Sir! This is great.
I think that this version is what Tolkien intended.
This video should have at least 1 million views! I think I like this version of the song the most! 👍
This is more like the Tom bombadil I imagined
*Same*
Very glad I came across this one.
One of my favorite remixes
love it
this slaps
This song wakes my old man willow! 🍃
LMAO
!tombombadilsong
This was perfect find for me as I'm drunk
I'm actually so thankful that words of power are still being used and that the sounds they manifest are still great as ever
Jolly good video man! SUBBED!
+1
This is like if GG Allin had a normal childhood
Hey dol! Merry dol! I listened to this 4 times today. Thank you :)
Quel joyeux compagnon tu fais !
Wunderbar.
Merci à toi ! Cette chanson va m’accompagner pour ma prochaine partie de One Ring 2e édition.
Spotify plz!
One of the closest to my own imagination.
