Friend, if you haven't cried during the end you're not human, and i say this as the most human of everyone, buckets and buckets of tears. Even today i have wet eyes at the end, props to your dad really
I consider myself a very lucky person. In fact, I consider everyone who had the opportunity to go to the cinema in December in 2001, 2002, and 2003 to witness this masterpiece extremely fortunate. I remember it being an event, theaters filled, and, most importantly, complete silence during the screenings. Everyone was there for the movies, for the thrill of following that story year after year. I vividly recall that feeling, knowing that it would happen again in next December, until the last part. And now, 20 years after "The Return of the King," I am a different person. I have a little daughter now, and I'm counting the years until she's old enough for us to watch them together. I can't wait to revisit the films with her (curiously, I haven't rewatched them since seeing them in the cinema). Oh, if I can pass to her even a small fraction of what that feeling was like... That's why I say, for everyone here who had the chance to see these films in theaters, at the end of those years, oh... you are very lucky! If something in life bothers you, remember, "I saw The Lord of the Rings in theaters! Year after year!"
I saw each film in theatre at least 3 times (I saw Two Towers and Return of the King 5 times!), back when it was $2 CAD a ticket. I remember thinking "Nothing will ever top this!".... and nothing yet has or likely ever will
I dont normally comment nice things and to be honest i didnt consider myself a nice person, ive hated life and everyone in it for as long as i can remember until right now. The only thing that brought me solice was lord of the rings because its what me and my dad would listen to, hes been gone years now and i havent even watched the movies in 4 years. I just did a hobbit and lord of the rings marathon and for the first time in years and i felt like my dad was here with me all because of a lofi mix on UA-cam that i took a chance on listening too. And like life itself, its all about taking chances and risks, and so i say to whomever reads this, life does get better just try your best and always remember, " all you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." Gandalf the grey".
Hey my friend, this was an honest, humble thing to post. We don’t know each other, but I want you to know that I love you. Yes, life can get better! I’m so sorry you lost your dad, but I know that you’re special to someone too, I wish you the best. Lord of the Rings is an amazing story. Never let go of it!
The scene shows three friends, all of which we know would die for one another, enjoying a moment, that to them, would hardly seem like a moment to take notice of at all. We all long for the simplicity and ease of mind that this scene encapsulates. There are many lofi scenes that I would like to enter, but this one, is the one I'd like to get lost in.
Twenty years ago this month my older brother came home from college and we saw the Return of the King in theaters. He was a freshman and I was a Junior in high school. We've had a lot of life since then and the first few minutes of this really pulls in the feels.
I quite enjoyed the first lofi mix, it engaged my mind and made me long to kind of life worthy of Gandalf's story hour. Listening to this mix however makes me feel as though I have already lived such a life and now Gandalf is reading the chronicle of an age almost forgotten.
I sat in my living room last night and listened to this one in a half times while doing chess puzzles. Honestly the most relaxed I’ve been in a while. Excellent work and great adaptations to the originals.
This has been playing in the background while I've been working, playing video games etc for a week now. I don't think I've been this relaxed in years..
I remember falling asleep as a child in the theaters during Return of the King and waking up to see the movie still had an hour left. Still to this day it has to be the greatest trilogy we've ever received.
It's always amazing how this music, no matter in what form, awakens deep, hidden feelings. A certain longing arises for something that you miss. Or what you forgot? It feels like deep sadness (farewell), but at the same time strong love and security.
This shit put me into a cognitive coma haha. So peaceful and relaxing. This will definitely be added to my playlist for days when I need to unwind after a stressful day. Well done to the creator of this gem.
Wow. As a '90s kid, there's something about listening to that transports me back to my childhood and reminds me of simpler times. Thank you for doing that.
I found this channel the other day and immediately told my nephew... Let's just say we were both astounded with the content! This rendition of LOR is a master piece. All I can do is thank you, this is my new.... everything....Thank you so much... it makes me cry, makes me happy and most importantly gets me though the day.
This is one of those beats thats a 10 out of 10 mood setter for casual gatherings. Side effects may include large groups going into the forrest to reenact scenes from the movies/and or/books. At the age of 35
This really is amazing. I find such solace when I'm in anything that has to do with lotr or its universe. I will be visiting this video many times over.
If you all are ever looking for more good lo-fi, Jon Hopkins' album "Opalescent" from 2001 is basically the god father of lo fi before it was really called "lo fi". Every time I hear the more chill sentimental lo fi like this vid it makes me think of it, one of my faves. The album never really got attention due to 9/11 happening a few months after it's release.
Hey, I remember this guy (had decided to buy the OST of How I Live Now, without even knowing it included a Daughter song, which was a bonus since I'd listen to them daily back then xD) but didn't even know he's been around this long... wow. I think I prefer his other stuff but I'll definitely check this out. Should've followed him more in the first place. Cheers ^^
I would have been about 2 or 3 when it released. I was 3 that September, saw the report on t.v. Sometimes I really wonder what the world was like before that event.
@@Beregond1861 it had no social media or iphones, just texting and kids played outside instead of Fortnite. Boomers exaggerate their time but it really was better than the collapse in mental health we have now thanks to social media
Not too sure if you'll see it, but RDR2 has some beautiful ambient music and to hear it in lofj would be awesome, seeing Arthur around the campfire and the stars above as he eats some stew. The crackling of the fire and the sound of the woods outdoors or the prairie, along with the thematic instruments that play to set the atmosphere. It would be awesome! I understand you are super busy, but it would be awesome to hear the ambience of RDR2 converted to lofi. Thank you for this wonderful mix, you'll have many more subs to come!
Love it! I changed the YT player speed to 1.25x so it could go a little faster for my liking but still different than the original non-slowed and reverbed.
I'm so glad that we, internet strangers, can dig into how we feel with the help of this obscenely smooth track. A slowed down version is just what the wizard ordered
Holy damn, I feel like crying. Reminded me of times when I watched LotR1 for the first time, on a pirated CD, on a PC with a small monitor, every family member had their own chair, the video was scuffed somehow, the colors were orange-y (like some Mexico filter) and I would wonder what is Rohan or Gondor, and what will even happen to Frodo and Sam, who stood at the ridge of some hill, showcasing Mordor in the distance... And then we had a blast creating our own .srt files with some jokes and parody dialogues, and watched it with that. God fucking damn I miss those times so much. And that music encapsulated all of that^ Great remixes.
Somehow I traveled back pixel gaming era and imagined that times when we were playing those beautiful creations of humanity, without any problems in the life.
What would be really awesome is if an animation was made in this sprite style. One that starts of with Frodo and Sam walking on a path leaving the Shire. Perhaps from a frontal view. Then after a while, maybe make it transition to a slightly distant side-scrolling view which shows the environment. Then along the way, gradually add and subtract the next set of characters as they enter and progress through the story, and change the environment appropriately as they progress. Slowly switching between a front and side view of them walking, and perhaps occasionally turning their head. And if possible, get the appropriate tracks to align with the settings of the animation. Play the Shire track when they're in the Shire environment, and play the Rohan track when they're in a Rohan environment. It would be a lot of work, but it would be awesome. Going from the beginning of the journey, all the way to the end. I'd also perhaps throw some Easter eggs from the book in the background environment as they progress.
Some suggestions: 1. The Sims II 2. The first two Harry Potter games for PC (Jeremy Soule composed the pieces and they have Elder Scrolls vibes and are super atmospheric). 3. Kingdom Come: Deliverance has some banger atmospheric music. 4. Hollow Knight. 5. Zelda
@@FantasyLofi gotta assume Zelda due to popularity. I do approve of these suggestions anyway (especially the old HP stuff, despite the news I had heard some time ago...). Seems like the to-do list of yours is complete for the next year or two😅
holy sheet. i thought i had hit all the emotional movements i could with all these new lofi remixes..... and then this intro drops.... that first minute man. right in them feels my friends. i shed a tear with you all.
just a piece of feedback - this is SO great, but it is helpful as a listener if the pictures are different for each mix. Obviously ignore me if that is insanely hard, and I do like how you changed the color scheme here, but my add brain is simple and having different pictures (even just like 15% different) would be good. That said, your mixes are the background for my workouts and calm my brain as I work 70hrs per week trying to make helly sales and barely can handle my life. Your mixes allow me to take a breath and resume my toil the next day. :)
My father took me to see The Return of the King at the cinema when I was a kid. That was the first and last time I saw him cry.
Friend, if you haven't cried during the end you're not human, and i say this as the most human of everyone, buckets and buckets of tears.
Even today i have wet eyes at the end, props to your dad really
cringe :D
"My Friends! You bow to no one." 🥲
tbh there are several points in that movie where I'm pretty sure you're not human if you don't cry
Your dad is your mom.

Yeah I'm enjoying watching the trilogy again to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of The Return of the King.

That is truly one of my top five favorite quotes!! You got this!
We may all be strangers in this world, but this music brings us together
as a LotR fan, I'm honestly hardly holding tears listening to this one and just falling deep into the atmosphere
Twenty years ago this month my older brother came home from college and we saw the Return of the King in theaters. He was a freshman and I was a Junior in high school. We've had a lot of life since then and the first few minutes of this really pulls in the feels.
i dont have the words to describe how emotionally happy this makes me
Is there another type of happy that is not emotional?
@EmanKcin8820 you're doing the lords work.
The main theme always brings a tear to my eye and its pretty much impossible for me to listen to it without humming along!
Thats exactly what im feeling since i was a kid!
I listened to this so much around the holidays last year that this has become my thanksgiving/Christmas mix
Your love of the halflings' leaf has clearly slowed your heart rate
😂❤🎉
I have indeed grown very fond of the halflings leaf myself
😂😂
I quite enjoyed the first lofi mix, it engaged my mind and made me long to kind of life worthy of Gandalf's story hour.
Listening to this mix however makes me feel as though I have already lived such a life and now Gandalf is reading the chronicle of an age almost forgotten.
exactly this
This version of the story is how the Elves tell it in Aman. No rush when you're an immortal living in paradise.

10 seconds in and I'm already getting goosebumps
I remember falling asleep as a child in the theaters during Return of the King and waking up to see the movie still had an hour left. Still to this day it has to be the greatest trilogy we've ever received.
Proper dithering and shadowing. This is real pixel art.
Wow, please do more of the LoTR soundtrack! These are incredible!
this picture that you've created is very calming and relaxing looks so good and its perfect !
It's always amazing how this music, no matter in what form, awakens deep, hidden feelings.
A certain longing arises for something that you miss.
Or what you forgot?
It feels like deep sadness (farewell), but at the same time strong love and security.
Listening to this and the Skyrim one while I'm doing night shift, the vibes fit so perfectly
it's the perfect combination of "8-bit" art, lo-fi and LOTR, thank you
This mix is so chill it turned off my nervous system.
I don't think I've ever had multiple goosebumps in watching a single video. This is it, this is phenomenal.
thank you!
this is so beautiful, some of the themes sound so sad 🥺
This shit put me into a cognitive coma haha. So peaceful and relaxing. This will definitely be added to my playlist for days when I need to unwind after a stressful day. Well done to the creator of this gem.
that humming at 20 seconds in makes me feel at one with everybody, like thats all us in there singing.
Wow. As a '90s kid, there's something about listening to that transports me back to my childhood and reminds me of simpler times. Thank you for doing that.
I love your beats, they're always on as ambiental music in my house, please keep it up!
Wasn't sure what this was going to be like in the first few seconds, but then 0:18 hit and I freaking KNEW it was going to be amazing.
how can you not love this
Love it! Thank you very much! We need a 1 hour version of the first song 🙏, perfect for reading LOTR

These tracks slap so hard
I'm listening to this plus your prior one side by side...Not sure which one I like more. Thank you!
there needs to be sooo many more songs like this
More different LotR songs please, this is amazing
Somehow I traveled back pixel gaming era and imagined that times when we were playing those beautiful creations of humanity, without any problems in the life.
this is my comfort video
I love this new version 🤍
Thank you for this.
bro thanks for making these music
Bro why does this beat make me so fucking sad, heavy in depression frfr... 10/10!!!
when nostalgia comes knocking 🥺
passing this through my reverb unit 🤯
This is quite lovely. Been a long few weeks and I appreciate it. As Gandalf said. Small deeds by simple folk. Thank you.
this video basically got me through this year in college lol. all the study sessions...
My wife and I love these films. My dad is the only person I know how doesn't care for them. There's always one. :)
I have no words for you to thank you. Oh my god my heart is full of happiness.
Would love to pay for the pixel art if possible? I LOVE IT. Absolutely fantastic lofi as well. This will be getting used at work a lot.
I read 3 body problem whilst listening to this, set the tone perfectly.
Great tunes to the greatest movie (trilogy) of all time.
Great music
this is nice!!! i love it
instant chills.. so grateful I found this mix
big same over here, very grateful indeed
First I was laughing in delight and now I'm tearing up all the sudden only 4 minutes in help
love this
I Love listening to this and sleep as i Watch your Covers !!

yup, everything on the channel is a team effort by a group of video game nerds :)
What program are you using to make the animation? Thanks for the answer. :)
