Lord of the Rings - The Road Goes On

[Fadedinink]

@Lulipucik05 see u there

[LuLiPuCiK05]

I just want to leave everything and go to Shire ♥. Please, tell me that after death i will live there..

[Cennetz24]

what does the elven parts mean?

[Cennetz24]

Never mind. I think I found out. Here:

Numénna = into the West

Auta = the day

I ré = is passing / has come

Yallume = finally

Hilya = come / follow

Actually pretty sad -.-; the part of Tolkiens stories which i think is the saddest.

[KingRaven101]

This song reminds me of better times, of love and freedom. Strange to think that those times were less than 6 months ago.

[GamblingDementor]

That was not written by Tolkien himself, was it ?

[AlaiaViper]

@GamblingDementor Parts of the lyrics were/are extracts from the books. There are 'songs' in the books when you read them. Amongst others, the 'Tolkien Ensemble' has put these texts together and put an instrumental accompaniment under it. The song of Tom Bombadil is another example of this.

[IsySkyeOfficial]

Wow! They added Quenya into it :)

[TheGameGuildreviews]

awesome Song!!!!!!!!!!

[TheOtakuReal]

Lol!

[CatcherDream00]

My mom and I were driving down a never ending road and I sang this. She was annoyed :D Not sure if that was because we were lost or because of the song...

[Bragithepoet]

The part with the elves sent shivers jetting up my spine.

[MrWombal]

@Bragithepoet Interesting. Shivers generally go down my spine, but perhaps I am the strange one here. :)

[c33r0k33]

@Bragithepoet I agree.

[ABookByAnyOtherName]

This song will always make me feel better about the world. Heck, Lord of the Rings will always make me feel better about the world.

[ViraRohirrim]

wtf? o.0

[nfinn42]

Lovely use of Quenya! I wonder who the librettist was. :)

[EGLchan]

Can I ask where this is from?

[CreepyElevator]

@EGLchan The Lord of the Rings Musical.

[xy2z1997]

contagion or planet of the apes?

[burningSunset78]

i listen to this like everyday :D

[francesannr]

where in the world did you get this ..........It is just the cutest. i would love to find it. wonderful happy music.

[TravisTagart]

@francesannr it's from the musical "Lord of the Rings"

[missamerica6]

when frodo and sam sing it shows merry and pippin :3

[talentgirl16]

i love the rangers but i was hoping for strider to have a solo heh.

[whistlePL]

Droga wybiega zawsze w przód,

spod progu, gdzie początek ma.

Odeszła już daleko tak.

Podążać za nią ile sił

muszą ochocze stopy me,

aż dojdzie na rozległy trakt,

gdzie celów wiele splata się.

A stamtąd kędy? Nie wiem, nie.

[GlassedGamer]

I remember seeing the musical some years ago... Damn the scene with the Balrog was impressive!

[chimaira6668]

amazing song

[RoosJackman]

omg i just love it haha, they sing it in such a nice, peaceful way!

[Dunedain4397]

man i wasnt old enough to enjoy the broadways and all the stuff for the lord of the rings iin the 2000s but ive alway loved it

[RoosJackman]

i love the way they sang this song!

[bjbuschman2]

I thought this might me totos the road goes on but i was wrong

[kelson922]

5 people need to be thrown 2 the orcs and beaten 2 death

[Dunedain4397]

[lotrmaniac98]

[GondorLadyGwen]

hmm I know Numenna is something west, and hilya is follow, and re is day... dunno the rest.. love this song though.

[Amy8Rob]

I incorporated that song in my acapella arrangement of the lord of the rings. if youre interested heres the link /watch?v=ia4QyfJCq0k

[iancorporated]

Brilliant!

[hegneyc]

Any word if this will be coming to the Americas? Wow, I am totally addicted to this tune. I've already downloaded it from Napster.

[EclecticAngel22]

I saw this live in London is '08...I FINALLY convinced my younger brother to listen to the songs...now he wants to see this as well! lol

[Kaboose666]

I heard rumors that this musical is coming back to London on 2011. Is it true? Im so on my way to England, or every country where this will be seen!

[zafarafridi]

BEE-EE-AA-YOU-tiful

love this song

[Kclaxgirl78]

do you have any idea if this is on dvd. i live in the US and am madly obsessed with LOR and when i heard it was a musical i almost passed out.

[Violinstef]

Does anyone know what the Elvish part of the song means?

[koolkat104]

SO much fun to sing in Musical Theatre. The overlapping part was amazing when we got it right!

[justgeifaname]

Can anyone link the actuall original version of Gandal singing this song? You know, like how he sings it when he's arriving Shire. I whould be forever grateful! I've been looking for it for hours!

[RavingNarniac]

I LOVE THIS SONG! Heard it at least 30 times now, decided I should comment now :-)

[MookieMoogle]

This song makes me happy. It brings back every happy memory I've had in the countryside.

[Spartancjl]

Is there anyway I can get an mp3 of this?

[hegneyc]

@Spartancjl You can download the MP3 from Napster; I've already done so.

[ShootToThrill16]

i dont like how they make merry fat! he was fit in the book and movie

[ganeshhulk]

the musical score is contributed by A.R.Rahman...... wow.................... and i guess the singer is ARR as well for this song... the proof is here...

[HanzyBinanzy]

i wish someone would work out chords or tabs for these songs...

[Archris17]

Brilliant song! I could never pull off the hunting music of the elves, no matter how much I admire them; I'm still human at heart and a hobbit-friend by nature. Still, now I know what to sing next time I go to the forest!

[sbl195207]

Very Nice job with this song. Thankyou!

[BubuGaldwin]

Númen- West

Auta- leave, die off, perish

Ré- a Day(24 hours)

Yallume- for the last time, finally

Hilya- track/follow somebody

[EllethwenEldarwen]

It is great!!! Elránien has beautiful voice and the Hobbits and Rangers are really fantastic.

I want to be a Ranger or and Elf....=)

[gbak11]

EXACTLY! dang, i want to be an elf

[SuperTemp100wpm]

I'm pretty rusty on my Quenya, but I know that "Númenna" means something to do with "West."

[IloveHobbits1995]

yeah, you're right! actualla I think they are talking/singing about going into the West, because in the book the elves they meet are actually going into the West AND "hilya!" meens "follow!"

[gbak11]

in tengwar, it can be translated like a blessing. "In the West, you'll be following your destiny."

[ducksocks]

milk a goat...

lol

[InfinetlySupreme]

Churn it into cream

[Mikeg993]

God thats stuck in my head!! XD

[TheShire16]

amazing song  cant wait to see it live :)

[IloveHobbits1995]

em...

the show stopped long ago

but I do hope it comes back!

you have to sign the petition, every signature counts!

[gbak11]

When will it come to America?

[Cellochic28]

I think they're doing a world tour in 2011

[gbak11]

What?! Really, if your lying i will hunt you down. ha ha ha just joking.

[femoman]

@gbak11 I don't think it will. From what I've heard about the 2011 tour, it's starting in Australasia, then going through the Middle East and Europe. I just hope it goes back to Britain.

[LucyTook]

The Road goes ever on and on,

Down from the door where it began

And far ahead the Road has gone

And I will follow if I can.

I like Tolkien's version better...

[LOTRFreakyFreak]

Yes you're right. Tolkien's version is mre poetic, isn't it?

But I think for musical is the version better they sing... It's easier I think!

[LOTRFreakyFreak]

"Ther's a road calling you to stray-Pulling you away" That's Sam not Frodo!

[benmcd2008]

im 11 im leaving primary skool on thursday its monday today last year this was i n the mass for there leavers mass were not having this one though i ont think ill miss st marys:( im gonna cry in mass probaly!

[AlasseaTelrunya]

what do the elves say?

[BearBoi69]

Norwegian gibberish. Like over half the music in this musician. Screaming Norwegian... a total waste of money to watch in person, and that was when the set wasn't breaking down multiple times! ;P

[BevHills16]

actually that "norwegian gibberish" is elvish...& can be translated to english..shows how much you know dumbass

[BearBoi69]

Whether or not they used "Elvish" in this particular song I don't know or care. Regardless, half of the "music" in this musical was Norwegian screaming, not "Elvish." Look it up. They didnt include it in the CD for a reason. LOL

And as for being a "dumbass", I paid $300 for a premier ticket to watch this thing. (Which I guess does make me a dumbass, but for a wholly different reason.) So, let's not toss stones, 'k? Now go back to finishing puberty.

[BevHills16]

My sister must have written it, seeing as I have no interest in Lord of the Rings, and actually use proper grammar. And no, I'm not using this as an excuse. My sister can act so irrationally sometimes. Why she watched this I don't know. It could've been influenced by her friend who does like LOTR, but I have really no clue. Anyway, sorry for her "dumbass" comment. I'm going back to finishing puberty.

[BearBoi69]

My my, so rare to see a civil individual on YouTube. Apology accepted and no hard feelings. Oh, and a suggestion; if you want a really good shave use a straight razor. There are several forums online catering to the straight razor community. Badger & Blade, Straight Razor Place, etc. Disposables and foam-in-a-can are abomination. Walk well the path to manhood, padawan.

[BearBoi69]

musician=musical.

[IrisEvenstar]

They say:

Intothw West, the day is paasing. It is here at last! Follow!

[LOTRFreakyFreak]

When?

[fireheartstorm]

Númenna! Auti i ré. Yallume! Hilya! Númenna! Auti i ré. Yallume! Hilya! Hilya! Hilya! Auta. Hilya! Númenna! Auti i ré. Yallume! Hilya! I don't know they say in English, but you can find translators online.

[AlasseaTelrunya]

o my gosh. i absolutely love this song. you are amazing. thank you!! it brings back amazing memories!! sigh...

[00JTM]

These guys are great! LOVE the song!! LOVE the music!! LOVE everything abou it!!. Thanks for posting it HobbitAtHeart.

[Peluchiix]

My fav part is were the humans are singing.

[Blunka796]

@Peluchiix Hobbits (:

[Peluchiix]

@Blunka796 no... humans.. or elfs i dont know

[Blunka796]

@Peluchiix Those deep voices in the backround? x)

[Peluchiix]

@Blunka796 The people who sing:

Mountain and valley

And pasture and meadow

Stretching unending

For mile after mile.

Fenland and moorland

And shoreline and canyon

Bordered by hurdle

And hedgerow and stile

[Blunka796]

@Peluchiix Yeah those. .. No idea what they are xD

[Peluchiix]

@Blunka796 in the book they are elves and humans

[DutchyDubs]

@Peluchiix

Those are Dunedain. (Says the official songbook)\ from the cd.)

[Luxai]

@Peluchiix Mountain and valley, and pasture and medow, strecthing, unending, for mile after mile, fenland, and moorland, and shoreline and canyon, borderd by hurdle, and hedgerow and stile!

[michaelflynn61]

Love this song. Saw the show in Toronto before it came to the west end.

[eirlstarr05]

Loved it. Thanks for putting it up !The chorus won't get out of my head! The road goes on..ever ever on

[Ronnes58]

Great fun and very Hobbitesque! Why not the original Tolkien lyrics? Copyright issues?

[legolasprincess1213]

I love it,it's so cute! :)

[vintageldy]

We here in America should be so LUCKY to see this show! When will you send it back OUR WAY? I am a huge fan of Tolkien and would love ANY version to view!!! My favorite is Sam ;-)

[Kiantayuzamaki]

...

sketchy song. XDDD

not gonna lie, I liked the movie, but...

It reminds me of a sing along mixed with some goofy, poor quality, medieval show.

[Smeagoldor]

I love this and if you don't like it don't watch it!!

[oldbluescott]

Can somebody hook us up with a translation of the Elvish part?

[tastywilly]

I actually enjoyed the song, it was very nice. And the performers do it amazingly.

Why the hate, ST, why? D:

[broadwaydude2378]

Thanks for posting. this is really cool.

[bambulicka14]

my biggest dream is to see this musical. pity, that i am from slovakia :(

[JerseyMonkee]

i love this song so much. i went to see it with my school in the summer a couple of days before it closed. so sad- couldn't believe anyone could asy anything bad about it.

Pure AWESOMEness!!

[StoriesOfPuzzles]

I will be singing this song from class to class from now on, thank ye, may warmth find you in the cold.

[TheGondorian]

[HobbitAtHeart]

Yes, for 'The Lord of the Rings: On Stage' soundtrack.

[LBG08JJM]

[HobbitAtHeart]

It's a font called Tolkien, ^_^

And it's no problem, I will finish off the set eventually, real life got a little hectic for me, but I WILL finish this.

[avantar112]

the music is beatiful

but you should see the musical itself it makes it even better then as it is now

[HobbitAtHeart]

I know what you mean. I managed to see it Live in London and was just blown away by it.

[Serenamcflyfan]

@avantar112 I want to see the musical soo bad. I'm 17 and have only just discovered this msuical but heard that it wont be touring :( sad tiimes. I'd love to see it! x

[Kaboose666]
