  • Allways crying... :'( :)

  • 0:58 onwards nerdgasm . . . . my god I'm actually breaking down listening to it.

  • @Lizzajr118

    why do you call it that? it's not funny...

  • @NormbrettaMod What else can I call it? I'm pretty sure that's the technical phrase.

  • @Lizzajr118

    associating people who like howard shore's music with "nerds". please don't do it.

  • @NormbrettaMod No I'm associating Lord of the Rings with it. If you can't accept that the fantasy genre is nerdy, you are a very confused person.

  • @Lizzajr118

    world of warcraft is "nerdy"...warhammer is "nerdy"...anything with that much cheese designed to make young people escape their own world into one where they feel everything is centred around them *can* be labelled "nerdy". the lord of the rings is a very english and very sophisticated piece of work written in a time when nerds didn't exist. personally, i'd sooner call it a mature fairytale than fantasy.

  • @NormbrettaMod Fair enough. I concede.

  • @Lizzajr118

    yes you do...

  • sam's my favourite...:')

  • "It's all wrong... by rights we shouldn't even be here... but we are." And with that one of the greatest speeches ever given began.

  • Harry Potter is good... but Lotr is amazingly epic.

  • "That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo,

    and it's worth fighting for..."

    - Samwise The Brave

  • is it ok if I fealt like crying but didn't?

  • When the vionlin starts at 0.43 and builts up to the "breaking of the felloship"-theme it just makes me wanna cry. Perhaps, and very likely the most beautiful melody ever crafted. Howard Shore you are a gennuis.

  • Oh my goodness, I'm gonna cry.

  • Music is Magic.

  • 2:03 - 2:30 It makes me so happy and so damn sad at the same time. :( No film will ever (ever.) top LotR in my book.

  • @Evica72 I agree completely. Hope PJ brings the magic back in The Hobbit. I can't wait for it :)

  • @Evica72 except Star Wars. I love them both, though

  • oh my god i love LotR so much.

  • "I can't carry it for you! BUT I CAN CARRY YOU!" Samwise Gamgee... the greatest fictional character of them all!

  • epic.

  • Sam saved frodos life many times, how many times did frodo saved sams? Sam are the real hero,

  • Oh Samwise, how you make me weep. The words that brave and loyal little Hobbit would say always touched my heart. More-so than most of the other characters. And I love all of the characters. But something about good ol' Samwise just makes his words and actions hit me harder than the others.

  • two people are orcs

  • Oh, how I miss these series. :(

  • If there is one word to describe the emotion that this song conveys

    ......it would most definitely be .....

    -HOPE-

  • goosebumps

  • This song just makes you feel like everything's going to be ok...

  • 2:03 Everytime I hear this, I just cry. I can't resist. I just do T____T

  • Sam is the best sidekick ever :)

  • Imagine if they added this music into Neville's speech for Harry's honor during the Battle of Hogwarts.

  • @MusicDemon1001 That would be awesome :O

  • @MusicDemon1001 And yet, it wouldn't even be close to Sam's speech in greatness

  • @MusicDemon1001 omfg your a genius ! :L

  • @MusicDemon1001 For the beginning of this song? it fits really well so yeah it would! but the song on DHP2, Procession, i think, was a great one to put there.

  • @MusicDemon1001 Would be a hell of a long speech.

  • Even Frodo sees Sam as the true hero. :)

  • Sam, the true hero of middle Earth

  • Frodo was the only one who could destroy the ring. Sam was important, but he could not destroy the ring. Sam wanted Golum dead, but Frodo saw Smeagol and that is proof to why only Frodo was strong enough to carry the burden.

    Frodos heart possessed the strenght and mercy, greater than anyone, to spare Smeagol, and this is why he could resist the corruption.

    But he could not have made it without Sam, because Sam was there for Frodo when frodos mercy and charity betrayed him.

  • @GiggleBlizzard true, so true man.

  • @GiggleBlizzard And when the burden became too great, and his strength had run out

  • @GiggleBlizzard That was beautiful written.

  • @GiggleBlizzard you are right but, although frodo had mercy on him, gollum should not have been trusted by frodo as much as he was.

    gollum wanted the ring, he did not want to help.

  • @armadanillo

    unless by gollum you mean sméagol's "other", i strongly disagree. for a period of time (after the scene where he banished his other) i suppose to an extent he was cured. remember how sméagol would stand up for frodo when his other tried to turn him against him? it was the incident at the pool that invited sméagol's other back and effectively doomed him...all a big misunderstanding. very tragic.

  • @GiggleBlizzard :'). A life story that will be in everybody's heart to remember to chose te good above the evil <3.

    ;)

  • we need more hobbits and hobbit gardeners to defend Gondor!

  • THIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL

  • @EyeofKraid EVERYONE, AND EVERY ROLE, IN THAT MOVIE HAD A SPECIAL TASK ... FRODO'S WAS APPOINTED TO HIM.... JUST LIKE GANDALF HAD TO COME BACK TO FINISH HIS TASK THAT WAS APPOINTED TO HIM.....AND LIKE ALL THE OTHER HEROES HAD THERE PARTS.....THE MOVIE SIMPLY COULD NOT DO WITHOUT ONE LESS HERO ... IT WOULD NOT BE THE SAME!!! FRODO HAD TO BEAR A LOT.... BUT SO DID EVERYONE ELSE!!!!!!!

  • @allgreen96 Please please PLEASE stop commenting on my comment. Sorry, I know it sounds petty, but it's been a year and I have actually changed my opinion since then and I've had to explain that over and over again. If you read my more recent comment it explains why I'm asking people to stop commenting on my old comment. I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm argued out on that point. Sorry.

  • Oh Sam =] My favourite character of all time from The Two Towers and the whole trilogy probably, and maybe all of fiction books

  • CAN PEOPLE PLEASE STOP COMMENTING ON MY LAST COMMENT!!!!!! Sorry, but it's been like... what? A year? And seriously guys! Your opinions are all good. Let me restate (and no arguments this time). I did NOT say Sam wasn't a hero. I said that ALL the characters have heroic moments, but Frodo was cast as the main heroic character. I'm sorry if you don't agree with this. And, in my defence, Sam is my favourite of the hobbits, but can we just drop the argument now guys! Please!

  • @EyeofKraid The hell we can! We're going to throw down on this topic until it's a dried husk of an argument! Ahh but now i wore myself out, and i am already in my pyjamas...

  • @TheBaldapap Hahahaha! Thanks... I don't mind you guys arguing about it yourselves. I joined in the argument cos I thought it was interesting, but you COULD stop replying to my comments, then I'm not bothered about it and the rest of you can continue arguing.

  • @EyeofKraid Tolkien himself said he considered Sam to be the true hero of the story

  • I'm so curious about the soundtracks for the upcoming movie The Hobbit..

  • @Michaelmop ME TOO... BUT WHEN IS IT COMING OUT???? AND IS PETER JACKSON DIRECTING IT????

    BUT I'M A HUGE FAN AND AM SO EXITED!!!!!!

  • @allgreen96 Peter Jackson directs it together with Andy Serkis. It's coming out in 2 parts. Part 1 in 2012 and part 2 in 2013. I personally can't wait either. It's gonna be just as huge as LOTR, no doubt.

  • @Michaelmop YIPPI i'm so glad that peter jackson is derecting it... and am so glad that it is coming out in two parts, that means i can enjoy it longer!!!!!!

  • @allgreen96 Oh btw. Subscribe to the channel called ''Hobbitin5''. They have new updates every friday. They're doing a great job so far.

  • @EyeofKraid I can't carry it for you; but I CAN carry you! BEST MOVIE EVER.

  • @AthinaaBieber they complete each other perfectly: Frodo to fight in the mental field and Sam in the physical one

  • @GhibliOriginals I'm not so sure. Cus Sam is the one who talked Frodo into moving on from Osgiliath with the awesome speech about the tales that really mattered

  • @connorfilmpro i should have say Frodo was fighting the inner danger and Sam the outer one, to "clear the way" For Frodo. But the main "physical" interventions were made by Sam, like fighting the orcs in Mordor and Shelob in Cirith Ungol. He was not more or less brave than his friend but he was the one who was put into these situations and was the more able to do them (as he don't have the burden)

  • Directionlessyes@ I downloaded this song on computer and put it on a CD and brought it with us to New Zealand for a holiday and when I was listening to it I kept repeating this song over and over it either made me cry, sleep or realize how beautiful Gods Creation really is so by far I will never forget New Zealand and it's beauty and the song of coarse so it is my favorite by far

  • @EyeofKraid Sam is a true hero, every soldier in Middle earth that fought for justice are heroes. Sam was brave and kind as no one else... So saying that he isn't a hero is wrong.

  • sam is my favorite character! :D

  • It's just like in the great stories Mr. Frodo... the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end... because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was after so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, a shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come! And when the sun shines out, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that mattered.

  • @BKMPictures

    :3 Stole mah Idea. The most beautiful quote--I had to memorize by heart. Samwise is legend, the best of friends...oh gosh I'm tearing up; maybe I should thank you instead. ^_^

  • @BKMPictures

    Those were the stories that stayed with you, even if you're too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only--they didn't. They kept going, because they were holding onto something... <3 T_T

  • @MerryFabalaFaeWaka ha ha i LOVE Sam's speach and have it on my MP 3..... WHAT ARE WE HOLDING ON TO SAM? THAT THERE'S SOME GOOD IN THIS WORLD MR. FRODO AND IT'S WORTH FIGHTING FOR!

  • @allgreen96

    OH YES!!!! I LOVE HIS QUOTE I HAD TO MEMORIZE IT :') You finished it! I was hoping you would TT_TT I'm crying agian NOOOOO!!!!!

  • Best song on the soundtrack by far, in my opinion!

  • Howard Shore and Peter Jackson are a perfect combination.. I mean the music and the directing of the LOTR trilogy were spectacular and it took me into this fantasy middle earth world that felt like reality. No movie has ever sucked me in like LOTR trilogy

  • Shelob and Gollum disliked this video

  • @Grunge1991Cory You know what's bad :'( They have played music for... TWILIGHT (WTF!?)

  • @EyeofKraid Yeah. Frodo was a pussy in the movie. In the book he was like "HELL NAW. I ain't riding no donkey when my friends be walking" even though he got stabbed.

  • @Cfreezin ;) Gotta love Frodo!.... especially when he's NOT played by Elijah Wood XD

  • thank you @autumnslayer. my bad, thanks for the correction. :)

  • Howard Shore is a fantastic musician. The change at 2.55...wow

  • 117 likes, for any of you Halo fans out there :-)

  • Sam is the sweetest man anyone can know and the best and truest friends any man shoudl have. I LOVE LOTR!

  • @chrisahealy11 uhhh hes the sweetest hobbit ;)

  • @EyeofKraid everyone who accepts his true destiny is a true hero.

  • @renrew667 I wouldn't say that. Look at The Joker, and Gollum.

  • @VenomShock - You are right! Many stories and films need a real bad personality, as many People are able to see and feel the Light only in contradiction to Darkness. So a worse character can bring out the good of the Hero. The Principle is somehow, that Light comes out of Darkness. But at some Time the Hero has to decide, that he wants to bring Light to the World. Otherwise he becomes a Destroyer. But we all we need are Heroes, who only wish to bring Light!

  • fuck it. I'm crying.

  • This deserves way more views that it has. People don't understand that the music sometimes makes the movies; it's what makes you cry, laugh and scared. You can come away and listen to this piece of music and picture Sam telling Frodo not to give up. This is just...hauntingly beautiful. Howard Shore, I'm so glad you're doing 'The Hobbit'. <3

  • How in the world can you compare Harry Potter to Lord of the Rings?!!! Lord of the Rings is actually literature! And Harry Potter is a children s series ! How is Frodo the only hero?

  • I like this song! And I like the scene. Sam is the really Hero in this story!

  • Samwise the Brave...A fitting title!

  • "It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer..."

  • @Emper0rH0rde "... Those were the stories that really stuck with you; that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mister Frodo, I do understand; I know now. Folk in these stories had lots of chances of turnin' back only they didn't; because they were holdin' on to something..."

    "...What are we holding on to, Sam?"

    "That there's some good in this world, Mister Frodo; and it's worth fightin' for."

  • @Emper0rH0rde This is my favorite movie awesome quote.

  • If my life had a soundtrack this would be it.

  • @EyeofKraid If Sam weren't there Frodo would be dead. I agree with what Frodo says ''Frodo woulden't have got far without Sam''

  • Come on Lord of the rings had NOTHING to do with Harry Potter!

    in my opinion :x

  • Samwise Gamgee is also my favorite character. He was always loyal to Frodo, even when things looked to be at their worst for the quest and between each other. He was so brave, he'd be willing to help Frodo from danger and tell him things that would aid them in their quest (There's some good in this world, there is light, do you remember the Shire, etc.)

  • @EyeofKraid You've a grand opinion. I feel that, as with any great, classical story, each character has their role as hero. Sam, I think, may have had more than one instance of heroism.

  • @irkofan yeah... Sam's actually my favourite character, but I think you're right that everyone has their moments of being a hero. Even Pippin XD

  • This song

    I cry

    Every time

    ;; <3

  • cries

  • This song has made me cry so many times.

  • The best parts for me is 0:43 - 1:27. Just a beautiful composition!

  • @keraohh Fully agree, that part still gives me goosebumps. Especially the high tone at around 1:03! Howard Shore is a truly great composer, unmatched in his style.

  • The best parts for me is :43 - 1:27. Just a beautiful composition!

  • I finsihed reading to kill a mocking bird last night. And while i was on the last 3 pages this started playing in the other room. I cried.

  • Comment removed

  • goodness...these soundtracks will NEVER get old. :)

  • 1 person is Gollum

  • @rachbreezy I suppose the second would have been Sauron--but he made Saruman click dislike. Being a giant eyeball inhibits one's clicking abilities.

  • Twilight's soundtrack was beautiful but this is amazing!

  • Sam: . A new day will come, and when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand, I know now folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something.

    Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?

    Sam: That there's some good in the world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.

  • Howard Shore is a god, but is is a shame he went and did the Twilight Movies, and twilight fans, shut up. I don't care what you think. This was an amazing series, and Howard Shore had to waste his time in a series that will never even come close to Oscar-Worthy, unlike all of the Lord of the Rings movies. The one thing that will be able to save Howard Shore is the Hobbit, whenever it comes out.

  • A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.

  • I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass.

  • se me pone la carne de gallina al escuchar esta cancion, las he escuchado todas cientos de veces y ésta tiene más belleza y simbolismo que ninguna.a la altura del nessum dorma

  • 1 person doesn't like stupid hobbitses... ;)

  • hate when haldir dies! i cried!

  • 1:48 - 1:55 is the best part for me :)

  • @EyeofKraid why does no1 get this. there is no singular hero. sauron was afraid of the free peoples of middle earth UNITING, everyone was the hero, everyone had their part to play. without any single one of them sauron would have been victorious

  • @Festivals33 That's a good point... I get what you're saying. I never really thought of it that way before. You're probably right. I just was sick of people saying 'Stuff Frodo. Sam's the hero.' He's NOT the main hero. That's the whole point of him being Frodo's helper and friend.

  • @EyeofKraid yea i know what you mean, i wish more people would realise though, sauron was defeated the first time by the last alliance of men and elves. they showed unity and he was defeated, the same had to happen in the war of the ring like rohan coming to the aid of gondor at minas tirith

  • @Festivals33 Yeah. I guess everyone wants their favourite character to be the hero =S

  • So many goosebumps.

  • @EyeofKraid Even Harry Potter had times when he wa weak and his friends helped him out

  • @jediking12 True, Harry knew he needed to finish what Dumbledore started: to destroy the Horcruxes, but he knew he couldn't do it alone, so Ron and Hermione aided him in his quest.

    "Frodo wouldn't have gone far without Sam." This is true because otherwise Frodo would've failed in his quest, not only because he can't do it alone because Frodo would've been controlled by the Ring without Sam

  • @jediking12 you cannot even compare harry potter to the greatness that is lord of the rings

  • @Dobbinator817 I think both books are excellent in their own way.

  • @Tobermaury101 We are talking films.

  • @Dobbinator817 you are right....about you cannot compare them BECAUSE THEY BOTH ARE GREAT FILMS.

  • @iamSnip3rOne More like LOTR is amazingly awesome and Harry Potter is average.

  • @TheBioLover IDK, Lord of the Rings is an epic in everywhere, it's amazing and wonderful, but so is Harry Potter. You can't truly compare the writings in that way because are totally different. While Lord of the Rings is a fantasy medieval kind of theme, written almost 100 years ago, Harry Potter is a modern interpretation of magic and it has a lot of feeling and heart in it. It didn't make J.K. Rowling the richest woman in, almost the world, for being simply average. Unless you mean films, lol.

  • @Hinatafan4ever666

    no...not medieval...at all. just...no...

  • @NormbrettaMod Swords, shields, leather and metal armour, catapults and horse chargers met with arrow volleys is usually considered medieval. Is there a time period you find more appropriate?

  • @Hinatafan4ever666

    style of warfare was very similar in the times of the roman empire, but they weren't medieval. tolkien's work was inspired by a mixture of cultures and periods, the anglo-saxons were one, the ancient celts another, biblical times...really, the medieval times were quite grim and dull; no where near as romantic as what we know as the dark ages or pre-roman europe which was when much of the myths, legends and fairytales were born. the lotr is pretty much a very deep fairytale.

  • @NormbrettaMod Touche. Well played. You're absolutely right. My point was, that most fantasy is "medieval", or dark ages, style in terms of weaponry and armour and all that. I don't mean the theme is medieval. But I doubt many would argue over that. It isn't really even a big deal.

  • Sam was the Hero. He showed true courage, and went the full way to do his job. He fell 100 feet, and climbed back up for Frodo. Now I know everyone on these comments couldn't do that, nor could I. Without him, how would Frodo of fulfilled his duty. The orcs would of gotten the ring and got it to Sauron if Sam hadn't taken it because he thought Frodo has died. Sam was the true hero. Without him, Sauron would of covered the world in darkness.

  • I have read the book once a year for the past 10 years in three languages, as well as The Hobbit, the Silmarillion, The Book of Lost Tales 1 & 2, Letters to, Lost Road, Shaping, and other books you never have even heard of. Tolkien made it very clear that Gandalf was an indirect supporter who had no power over anyone, just like any other Istari. If you had a clue what you were talking about, you'd know that Sauron was Valar. You're trying to school the wrong person.

  • W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L

  • The movie made me cry, laugh, scared and it made me happy. :) And everytime im thinking of it, it make life more important. :) This movie, i cant barently describe it. :)

  • I have never had a favorite movie... BUT now i can say that i have one, and it will never change! :)

  • I think together, Sam and Frodo were the Heros.

    They needed each other.

  • The real hero of LOTR is Samwise, not Frodo. Aragorn has to keep busy with his king business, Gandalf is kind of an observer, but without Sam Middle Earth would have perished. Many people wrote to Tolkien asking if he considered Frodo a traitor at the end, and he went to great lengths explaining why not.

    But in truth Frodo did betray everyone, he couldn't control the Ring, and Sam was the personification of the spirit Frodo needed. Samwise lives!

  • @1971ojoalparche1971 Both of them together saved Middle Earth. The whole fellowship's efforts did, even though they were not together. Even though they were broken apart they stayed true to their cause, and each had an important role to partake in.

  • @1971ojoalparche1971 Frodo did his best. Sam wouldn't have been strong enough to bare the ring without betraying the whole lot. Frodo made it most of the way, and yes it's true that he did need Sam, but Sam wasn't THE hero.

    He's a bit like a bicycle pump. The bike rode most the way but i's tyre burst on the final straight, however the pump played his role and was there the to re-inflate the tyre and help the bike and it's rider (the ring in this case) cross the line.

    You see?

  • Comment removed

  • @1971ojoalparche1971 gandalf is 'kind of an observer'??? have you even watched the movie or read the book? gandalf is basically saurons counterpart ffs. aragorn is the one who unites the world of men which is what sauron most fears. and frodo withstands the ring longer than any other bearer, (apart from sauron of course). sam is only kept on course by his utter devotion and loyalty to frodo. they all are equally important, without any one of these characters sauron would have been victorious.

  • When I had to flush that turd i dropped... i heard this song...

  • 0:58

    most beautiful part of entire soundtrack

  • samwise is brave<3

  • i love this so much :')

  • doesnt this make you cry??? im sitting at my computer bawling, this is so goreous!!!!!! Sam is the best best friend ever, i wish he was my best friend, :)

  • Best story: The fellowship of the ring

    Best music: The two towers

    Best action: The return of the king

  • @ninawth best book: the lord of the rings!!!!!!

  • Howard Shore is masterful, he captures exactly what i think is the essence of the hobbits and the elves in his music. The Men and dwarves ETC are immense too

  • this makes me cry.

    lotr is amazing <#

  • One of the sweetest tracks of the trilogy.

    I love Sam. <3

  • A shiver runs up my spine at 0:44

  • sam is amazing.

  • OMG :O i found the song atlast!! x
