Lyrics:
Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
The night is falling
You have 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
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
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
Songwriter: Howard Shore / Philippa Boyens / Annie Lennox
I played this for an hour before I said goodbye to my dog-the best friend I had to put down who had come to journey's end. I will always love you, Bruno.
Bruno is still around - listen...
So sorry for your loss. 💔 Your best friend will be waiting for you beyond the grey rain curtain of this world. ❤
r.i.p. Bruno, till we meet again
Bruno is a good boy ❤ rip
That is just beautiful. I'm so sorry for your loss.
This is still one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.
Definitely one of them
Listen to Hans Zimmer Gladiator, live version, that's a good one to
Unreal ❤

My father passed away three months ago after a ten-year battle with prostate cancer. I remember when my family and I watched both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films together. Dad really fought hard, but it only really started to get bad this summer, and it wouldn't have done more good to continue the treatments. My dad told me and both my siblings individually about how he was reaching the end and decided to enter hospice care. That was so hard. And a couple of weeks after that, he passed away just shy of his 68th birthday. I feel sad, and like Sam at the end of The Return of the King, I thought, "Dad, you can't leave. How could I be without you?" I felt that the world had lost such an incredible human being, but I was glad that I was able to see him during his last days and say goodbye and that my father is no longer in pain. It also helps me to talk about it and think of the happy memories with my dad because I know that my dad will live on in all his friends and family and in the lessons he taught us. Frodo handing Sam the book makes me think of that. That love will never fade. I mourn his loss and celebrate his life at the same time. I know that the pain will never completely go away. ❤ Living with it will get easier, but right now, it hurts. As hard as it is, there are things I find comfort in and am thankful for, including my favorite stories, such as The Lord of the Rings. When I recently saw the scene of Frodo going to the Undying Lands to find peace, I felt like that's where my father is now: resting peacefully somewhere. He's no longer in pain. Rest in peace, Dad.
I can't imagine a better voice than Annie's to finish this amazing trilogy. Lord of the rings- for me the most epic. Thanks to J.R.R. Tolkien and Peter Jackson for this fantastic journey.
And thanks to Alan Lee and John How, who made the incredible film design.
yes i can't too
This may be a minority opinion, but when I hear this gorgeous song, I don’t just think about Frodo’s departure, I also think about the fact that Sam also eventually sailed West. I imagine him old and wrinkled, newly widowed by Rosie’s passing, his children all grown up and moved on. He hears the call of the Sea in Frodo’s voice and realizes it’s time. The ships have come to carry him home. And Elanor, standing on the shoreline, watches him vanish into the horizon.
Beautiful

Beautiful yet sad song. I think we all have someone on our minds when we hear this.
The most beautiful song about death possible ever written. It's pretty much saying don't be afraid of death. This was played at my brother's funeral and even though it that seems dour and it made me cry it also says we will meet again.
I played this at my partner's funeral, also May it Be.

This song helped my father through prescription methadone withdrawal, its a part of me as my soul is now
Omg! Where have I been all these years. I did not realize Annie Lenox was the same artist who sang " Sweet dreams are made of this" amongst other songs of hers that I love from the "80s" My favorite movie " Lord of the Rings" is epic.. Not knowing Annie Lenox also sang "Into the West" This is a beautiful masterpiece. Every time I listen to it I get very emotional. "Love you Annie Lenox"
I found this song just now. I have chosen it to play at my son’s funeral. He loved lord of the rings so much. My beautiful boy 32 years old ✨✨✨
Oh Ellen, that made me so sad. Hugs.
So sorry to hear of his passing. I will light a candle for him, and for you. For him to enjoy his eternity in middle earth, you for the repose of your soul, and dreams of your future to come with him in this blessed place. Grandma from Buffalo
My sympathies and prayers to you Ellen, for you and your son. I will pray today, tonight, for you both. Bless you!
Ever since I first read the books 25 years ago, I had one role model in my life. Aragorn.
"this is a good sword."
😁💪😉
one of the beautifulst songs ever written.
*most beautiful
😂😉❤️🎼👍
Agreed
I listen to this song and think about my cat, who was 17.5 years old. He died on February 18. Before that, Alexei Navalny died in prison - all the conditions were created for this by the Kremlin. I also think about all those who died in this crazy war that my state started with the support or passive silence of the majority of my people, about my extremely uncertain future. I also remember all the good and bad that happened in my life, not related to the above. And I feel very bad at the same time and for some reason quietly happy, because in this song, in its words, I find a strange consolation in the fact that sooner or later any road ends, and someday my journey will also come to an end.
I have similar associations when I hear this song. I can't help but cry every single time I hear it. I still miss my cat too. :)
@@moonglow6639 He was a kind and good boy. And there was also a cat, she was 15 years old. She left in 2019. The pain of loss was not so acute because there was a cat-boy. Now none of them are there.
Well, all this is the war between Russia and Ukraine, this ongoing horror, this madness. I am so ashamed of my country (Russia), of my people, this is a huge and heavy feeling of guilt...
My beautiful cat died March 6th... she was 18. My grief has become a force of nature that I cannot seem to overcome.... it feels like there's a hole in my soul and endless tears. You may not ever read this, but I'm sending love to you, kindred spirit. xoxo
@@dawnadriana1764 Thank you for your kind words of support.
Your words have meaning. We are all deeply connected to one another tho oceans apart. I wish I could say something to relieve the sorrow you express here. Perhaps tho, words aren't needed, just the acknowledgment of understanding. Thinking of you.
I listen to this song everyday i have anxiety and it relaxes me ❤❤❤
Que talentosa Annie!! Y Howard un genio!! El tema te atraviesa el espíritu y te traslada 20 años atrás cuando fuimos felices en la tierra media❤❤❤
One of the most beautiful songs ever. A perfect ending to a truly epic story.
Que pedazo de canción tan bella y que película espectacular
This song always gets me
I'm not crying. You're crying. Man! So many memories with these movies and this beautiful song!
perfect ending song to a perfect trilogy.
Upon recently loosing my wife, this song has taken on a special meaning to me
I’m so sorry friend
I’ve lost many people I love…they are guiding us through life with love and always helping us to appreciate the time we have to help others
RIP 😞
I'm so sorry for you
The pain is real .. but just know she has sailed into the west ...
Farewell Bernard Hill, you journey now to green fields under a swift sunrise where your fathers wait for you, and you shall not feel ashamed.
I had this played at my husband's funeral.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sad about your loss and wish U all the best for the future. Be strong! And it was a very good choice of music. Best wishes.
What a beautiful farewell to him. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Damn, Annie. You really know how to end amazing movies.
I remember repeating Love Song From A Vampire after Bram Stoker's Dracula like I'm repeating this.
A masterpiece in music, and storytelling. One for all ages, and time.
Annie sei la più brava interprete La tua voce è musica.Complimenti
This song really feels like the end of a really hard journey! It calms me so much!
This is the most beautiful song that I have ever heard.Got me through a lot of difficult times. Thank you Annie. Xx
Live tyler is so beautiful
I dunno man all I can think of is it'd be like sleeping with her dad. 😂🙈🤭
As much as I liked "The Last Goodbye", nothing can top this song.
I listen to this before i sleep each night in case i don't wake up
that's...heavy. I've wondered how many people have had this played at their funeral/memorial. Thinking of it myself. Especially at this time of year. 🎄😞💔
As indeed each of us might not. It has become my anthem of each evening as well. Impermanence is our fate, no matter how much we may yearn for something more. This song will be one of two played at my memorial.
@@johncontreras8094 I play Bob Ross videos at bedtime lol... his voice is so light and soothing and somehow reassuring...the swish of brush on canvas...tap of the knife on pallete...ASMR before it was a thing. Insomnia sucks. 😞😳
This is my funeral song
My dad is 87 and he recently told me he wants this playing at his funeral.
it is my choice too...
my grandmother passed away a little more then a week agao and i reamber watching lord of the rings for the first time at her house altho she was on her death bed for a year it was vary sad when she passed i have tarbule times with my feelings but seeing this expeshaly 1:10 when arogorn drank from the cup for god knows why but it made me start crying rembinding me of her i will miss her dearly
What a beautiful song, about to learn it with my Choir - never seen any of these films but maybe I will now!
Hands down for me the greatest song of all time. Every.Single.Word, has deep meaning.
Love Annie!❤
Love this video it does such a good job of capturing emotional moments.
Bravo! Brava!!!
This song is perfect for this movie.
I’ll never forget going to the movie theaters Saying myself man this is gonna be the last lord of the rings boo-hoo and then this song started playing at the end credits and I immediately went into tears I was like no really is going
And then you got lucky with Rings of Power! 😂
Frodo -
"How do you pick up the threads of an old life?
How do you go on?
When, in your Heart, you begin to understand.
There is no going back.
There are some things that Time cannot mend.
Some Hurts that go too deep.
That have taken hold."
There and Back Again...

I listen to this every night before I go to sleep. Such peace. Thx Annie❤️
Annie's voice is so pure...I imagine her voice is the Eve's voice..mother of all humans...
I think you're right. Especially when she sings on the horizon.
Essa música é linda ❤️
Brilliant vocals and instrumentation.
Very nice song Indeed
Przepiękne
Cieszę się że jest ktoś kto postrzega piekno tak jak ja
@@marzenawozniak7991 Vielen Dank :)
When i first heard this, i was just watching the end credits. now it is one of my favorites
This song is my feelings for my newest dog. As he joins our family.
Wonderful that he is there for you to love as he deserves. Thank you.
When I hear this song, I think of my mom who just passed.😭
So sorry for your loss
well done annie brilliant beautifuly sung
well done
Thank you :)
I figured it out. Annie is a High Elf. Only explanation for the ethereal beauty of her voice. All jokes aside, it really is like an Elf is singing this song on some tower at the White Harbors.
This is my funeral song and I k ew it from the first time it started playing and I just knew
I'm bawling my eyes out for what!? I'm sad and didn't know
Your'e not the only one - so am I.
Браво ,Маэстро!!!❤️❤️❤️
So do I brother. So do I.
I think of my 10 year old cat Jinja. He died of an unknown illness I think to do with his heart. He passed at the vet and I wish I had been there for him but I know he's at peace. This song says everything.
My cat passed away 17 years ago and I still think of her almost every day. :)
I recently lost my black cat Cricket, aged 17 years, 4 months. She will be sorely missed.
Espectacular Espectacular
Wow 😢
❤️
If you don't think that Liv Tyler's performance when she's looking back in Return of the King, then you have no soul. I mean this literally. Tell me why that's not the most moment in film history?, ,,😁💚🍀☘️💚🍀
Good Night
Secret Garden
Born of faith, of care, and the skies,
In every flower, a faithful love lies.
They transform souls, touching hearts,
Guiding us to God, where all life starts.
May they continue to bloom in splendor,
Showing all the divine love so tender.
For in the paradise that is yet to be,
These flowers will reign, eternally free.
May the garden forever be a beacon bright,
Inviting others to God's radiant light,
To the Lord of life, of sky, and sea,
God, the Creator, who makes us bloom and be.
Knock off the theist spam. Be better than this.
👏👏👏
Love this but I'm having billy boyd the last goodbye at ny funeral
Happy Resurrection Day!
The only other female singer that could cover this as well in my mind is Floor Jansen of Nightwish
This beauty is beyond description and can't be ovetstated
Liv Tyler what a babe
Good Morning my Friends
How are you
The True, of the our job is to spread the good news of the Kingdom that we ask for in the Lord's Prayer. And I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses to fulfill a prophecy of Matthew 24:14
And today we Jehovah's Witnesses are preaching in all countries to also conform to the standards of God and his son Jesus.
To come his Kingdom where he will resurrect many who are asleep like his father and bring them back.
And many others who died like the recent young people in Ukraine. That is why I do this work together with our brothers and sisters from various countries of the earth.
And you can also help us for this work okay
In the far, far world people live in peace. No one know legends from Lord of the Rings....every one ... Yeah... Not in human race... Try to Be calm and honest!
