I love it so much..I was bawling at the theatre when he was singing that song.
It was so sad..and I really love the message.
Billy Boyd was asked by Peter Jackson to write the music for the song. The lyrics belong to Tolkien. Boyd explained that he wanted it to sound like an old song that Pippin's grandfather might have sung.
Pippin's song is the one the hobbits hummed in Chapter 3, Three is Company. It was taught to Frodo by Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo had made up the words, to the tune that was as 'old as the hills.
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still around the corner we may meet
A sudden standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!
Still around the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run,
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn and nut and sloe
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We'll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And to bed! And then to bed!
The song ended and Pippin sang in a high voice, "And now to bed! And now to bed!"
Unfortunately I don't have the mp3...
I'll be waiting to buy the soundtrack.
