Peter Jackson can claim this song isn't about Frodo all he wants. But, to me, it will always be about Frodo sailing off into the Undying Lands. God, tears.
If it isn't about Frodo....then who would it be about? Only other one I can think of is that it could be about Aragorn and Arwen about 200+ years later, where it would be abour Aragorn dying......but it would be a bit strange, considering the movie doesn't go into much detail as to what happens to those 2..... (*spoiler*: It ends in a beautiful, yet extremely tragic way, where Arwen ends up grieving for Aragon for hundreds of years, al by herself in the Woods that the Elves left behind. Until nobody ever hears of her again.
to me it's about all of them but it's one of my favourite parts when Gandalf is trying to lift Pippin up (metaphorically) during the Battle of Gondor because he basically sings the feckin song
we played this song yesterday morning as we held our 16 year old kitty and sent his spirit peacefully to a place where he wouldn't feel anymore pain and get to spend every day happily in the sunshine :'( your interpretation will forever be a huge part of my life because of that moment :'( thank you so very much for recording this, please know that your music is deeply appreciated and gave all of us healing in the final moments one of the most special kitties ever to walk this Earth
This is really beautiful. You've given it a wondrously courageous sound - the left hand bass notes presenting an inevitable unknown and your right treble hand answering the challenge with noble strength. Exquisite.
This left me in tears, as much or even more than the original did over a decade ago. What a treat to listeners.Thank you for sharing your talent with the world.
Lay down Your sweet and weary head 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 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 Grey ships pass Into the West
Exceptional, not all the glits and Glamour of Radnick sitting on piano's, but often like this song fairly simple compositions and arraignments are far more beautiful. The melody on this song is beautiful and moving, I can hear Annie singing along with you. Well done!
is this written down anywhere I have a goodbye concert I would love to do this. It is gorgeous! its reminds me so much of everyone and the ones that will come after the seniors are gone.
On December 3rd 2021 I had to put my dog to sleep. I played this song while they gave her the second shot. When I leave this “realm” I wish to hear this music as I pass into whatever awaits us be it paradise or nothing.
Hi! This arrangement is so lovely and you play it with so much ease. Wow. Would it be ok to ask for your music sheet for this so I could try it? Please? I promise to give credit. Thank you in advance :)
I just fell in love with this (and with all the rest of your music :p) - I have always been a LOTR fan. You did such a fantastic job. How long have you been playing piano? And do you mind if I ask what country you're from? Keep up the great work ! :)
Please, where did you find your sheet music for this? I have scoured the internet and found several versions, but none of them match yours. I like this version best. I'm happy to pay for it, just don't know where to find it. Really is gorgeous:)
Hi, amazing arrangement! I would like to buy the sheets, and went to your website, where I see you're selling the Piano Stories - Vol.1 book, by Steven Bear (I suppose that's you). Is this composition included in that book? In that case, I'm going to buy it, but I just need confirmation first. Maybe you should also write which compositions is included in the book on your website.
"I will not say: do not weep, because not all tears are an evil" ❤
I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.
HERE COME THE TEARS ~~ !!
+CeCe S. Haha. I was just thinking that.
Peter Jackson can claim this song isn't about Frodo all he wants. But, to me, it will always be about Frodo sailing off into the Undying Lands. God, tears.
+Gema Guevara :') :')
+Gema Guevara Oh, but it isn't about Frodo. It is a journey we all must take.
Sauron The Dark Lord Very good point.
If it isn't about Frodo....then who would it be about?
Only other one I can think of is that it could be about Aragorn and Arwen about 200+ years later, where it would be abour Aragorn dying......but it would be a bit strange, considering the movie doesn't go into much detail as to what happens to those 2.....

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
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
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
Grey ships pass
Into the West
