"The Road Goes Ever On" is a title that encompasses several walking songs that J. R. R. Tolkien wrote for his Middle-earth legendarium. Within the stories, the original song was composed by Bilbo Baggins and recorded in The Hobbit. Different versions of it also appear in The Lord of the Rings, along with some similar walking songs. - Wikipedia
A comparison of several adaptations of this song/poem. I’d love to hear what everyone’s personal favorite is. Mine has to be Ian Holm’s recitation from the 1981 BBC audio production, with the Howard Shore version as a close second.
#Billy Boyd's 'the last goodbye' is a bonus track bc he only uses roughly four lines from the poem#and several words within those four lines are changed making it a VERY loose adaptation#you know i'm usually a paul daneman diehard but i have to be fair here. holm just totally kills it#his recitation is good but it's a straight reading#you need the context of the whole scene to see how they use it in a really cool way :)#anyway welcome new followers. i'm insane#the hobbit#bilbo baggins brainrot hours#the hobbit 1968#1968 bbc audio drama the hobbit#bbc lord of the rings#ian holm#ian mckellan#sir ian mckellan#paul daneman#billy boyd#howard shore#lotr#lord of the rings#bilbo baggins#Gandalf#clamavi de profundis#jrr tolkien#hobbit
