Billy Boyd, known best for portraying Peregrin “Pippin” Took in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, is also an accomplished musician. To pay his respects to the series, and say goodbye one last time to Middle Earth, he’s crafted a touching song titled “The Last Goodbye.” Watch the nostalgic music video below.
Speaking to EW, Boyd had this to say about his song:
“After seeing the film, I went to my room and I started to put down some ideas, and along with Fran and Philippa, we started to sculpt the song we thought the movie needed… A lot of ideas took us to dead ends or we found the tone wasn’t just right. I think we discovered very quickly this wasn’t just a song to end The Battle of the Five Armies—it was a song to say goodbye to Middle-earth.”

The next time I read a blog, Hopefully it doesn’t fail me just as much as this particular one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read through, nonetheless I genuinely believed you would have something helpful to say. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something that you can fix if you were not too busy searching for attention.😀 ⚡ 2021-09-24 00h 04min

Beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing this. We have the LOTR films, and I have seen the first “Hobbit” books. “The Hobbit” was read to me many times as a child. It took me awhile til I was mature enough to read, and love, LOTR.
Thanks again.

I’m a fan of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, and this song is a lovely way to round off the series…
