The lyrics may be composed differently than Tolkien wrote them, but NO OTHER adaptation matches the character of Tom Bombadil as good as this one! *Kudos!*
3 years later I still keep coming back! You made a lot of people happy, your song will live in a lot of hearts. I hope you are having a merry existence and that you are happy, I wish you the best!
This is one of my 3yo boy’s favorite songs. We watch it several times a week. He calls it the Tom Bumblebee song lol. So thanks for making a little boy happy on the regular.
If we ever got Tom in a movie or show, he had better be singing this version of the song. Either you must play him, or your voice plays over the end credits! Love the energy.
I think Tom Bombadil is in the upcoming Rings of Power! But sadly, he couldn't be as good as this singing Bombadil from this video :( it's not possible
@@PrinceofArfon not much was done justice in that series but every now and then a gem can be found. Tom and "Gandalf" (that hurt to write lol but that aside) singing in the last episode was probably the most unique version of the song and felt good. Can imagine tom having different ways to sing depending on his mood. This one here while he's roaming around the old forest and then the ROP rendition while sitting by the fire passing the time.
I dunno how it took me this long to find this version but it's perfect. Been listening to this on loop for the last two days. This is now Tom's voice for me
I was reading the Fellowship of the Ring and found myself trying to get the right tune and tone for this. I was failing miserably, but kept at it. Found the brightness and silliness and said "Someone has probably cracked this. I will seek them." Then I found this. And not only is the music perfect, but your video is joyfully hilarious - and I have a bud named Tom, has piercings and has a dry wit with his light beard. You could be his brother, seriously. So I laughed and I hit LIKE. Perfection. It is on my playlist now. And I told him about it, too!
It's an absolute crime against humanity that Peter Jackson did not include Tom Bombadil in the LOTR movies. He was by far the most magical character in a magical story. Neither man nor elf, what is he? Possessed of great power, but he did not use it (or maybe his power was maintaining the natural world). An enigma, but wholly good, detached yet connected to Nature, was there before, and will be there after.

Awesome work man!
If they ever make a Lord of the Rings show and don’t include this song I’ll be very very disappointed. Great job man I think you really got Tom Bombadillos spirit with this song.
I've listened to this so much that it's in my stable youtube recommendation samples. Love your attitude, your style and your talent man, we need more Tom Bombadil in this world, peace
Major respect from Music Swop Shop Melbourne Australia. We are obsessed with this song. We are a consignment music instrument store. Look out for Swoppy bands DAVE 1000 and Gargoyle in 2024. Both bands love this song x
So you're on the way home from work and you find yourself being attacked by a tree or whatever (as we often do). And just when you think hope's lost you hear this in the distance and you know its all gonna be good
The one dislike is from Sauron himself.
And the Second is Sarumon

I'm currently going through a phase where I listen to this daily
It's medicine
You will not be invited to the council of elrond
@@turnipsociety706 We're pleased to stay with the River Daughter
Daily? I’m listening to this hourly xddd❤
Wow
3 years later I still keep coming back! You made a lot of people happy, your song will live in a lot of hearts. I hope you are having a merry existence and that you are happy, I wish you the best!
Thank you, merry fellow! This means so much to me!
Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow, bright blue his jacket and his boots are yellow!
B!
This man IS tom bombadil without the bright blue jacket, the yellow boots and the hat with the blue feather
He's wearing it *in his mind*, maaaaaan
This is one of my 3yo boy’s favorite songs. We watch it several times a week. He calls it the Tom Bumblebee song lol. So thanks for making a little boy happy on the regular.
this is headcanon for me now
masterpiece
"None have ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the master. His songs are stronger songs and his feet are faster!" 👏❤ This was so fun to listen to.
Can someone get Peter Hollend this mans contacts?! This is the best rendition of the Tom Bombadill song I've ever heard!
I want to go to renaissance fair with this guy! 🧙🏻♂️ 🍻
This is now my favorite version.
This is the best interpretation of a song I have ever come across, well done merry fellow!
easily the best I've heard. all the others I've come across are slow and drawn out. This one you can actually imagine Tom skipping along singing.
Absolutely agree!
*YES! THIS MAN UNDERSTANDS TOM BOMBADIL!*
The audio book version isnt bad
If we ever got Tom in a movie or show, he had better be singing this version of the song. Either you must play him, or your voice plays over the end credits! Love the energy.

@@StephenPittmanAus Sadly you are right. The Tom of the show is fine on his own, but he has none of this jolly energy.

Hand over the remaining rainforests to this man!
This is great! Thank you!
I can feel the happinness in your eyes and the kindness as you are singing this awesome song ! You should do more of Tom's songs!
I refuse to accept any other version of this song. This is exactly how Tom Bombadil would sing his song.
I dunno how it took me this long to find this version but it's perfect. Been listening to this on loop for the last two days. This is now Tom's voice for me
I wish this was on spotify!
Me too!
How this doesnt have 10 gazillion views is beyond my ken...
I've listened to this on loop for 5 hours while drawing gnomes, amazing experience
If this be true, please never change, stay gold strange gentlemen.
There are no gnomes in Tolkein's Middle-Earth.
Tom Bombadil would totally dance to this song
Absolutely!
Hail Tom Bombadil ! Thank you Sir
saw this on your tiktok, i love it so much
This is how I imagine it now when it says that Frodo gained strength as he continued to sing the song

What a merry fellow. Love this!
lovin it dude !
This has been stuck in my head all day. Love it!
For sure this is Tom Bombadil's favorite version of his own song ! Awesome!! 🧙🏼♂️

brilliant
Back here after the announcement of Tom in the RoP series, boy do I wish this song was on Spotify so I could listen constantly :P
I have had this song stuck in my head for a week, and I am just fine with it. I LOVE IT
This is everything I ever wanted and didn't know. Your interpretation feels so true to the soul of the character. I love it! Thanks
*Same!*
Tom bless you
GOOD VIBES REALLY
Hey dol! Merry dol! Ring a dong dillo!

Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol! My darling!
Light goes the weather-wind and the feathered starling.
Down along under Hill, shining in the sunlight,
Waiting on the doorstep for the cold starlight,
There my pretty lady is, River-woman's daughter,
Slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water.
Old Tom Bombadil water-lilies bringing
Comes hopping home again. Can you hear him singing?
Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Now let the song begin! Let us sing together!
Of sun, stars, moon and mist, rain and cloudy weather,
Light on the budding leaf, dew on the feather,
Wind on the open hill, bells on the heather,
Reeds by the shady pool, lilies on the water:
Old Tom Bombadil and the River-daughter!
Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow;
Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow.
Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!

Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!
Awesome work man!
Imagine a show just about Tom Bombadil and how he lives and interacts with travelers through his land
This is incredible!!!! I just got to this point in the fellowship audiobook. "Toms got a house to mind and goldenberry waiting!"
This is a great song!!
Spotify plz!
I would love for a version with the whole song!
hearing it i feel like i became uncorrupted pure hearted like Tom Bombadil
Great work merry fellow!
This is a work of genius.
Amazing work man!
That song makes me TOO HAPPY i think that ur work is pure happines
Few things in this world can overcome the power of Sauron's ring. A merry tune and a glad heart are two of them.
This makes me very happy. Thank you.
*Same*
I love this version of this song, tis my favorite!!! I'd love to hear some other Tolkien songs interpreted by you.
No dislikes. Perfect.
This never fails to cheer me up
Love it brother!! Great rendition 👌
I can't stop listening to this
This has genuinely made me happy. Thank you
I love this so much
Wish i could like this video twice.
Thank you
If they ever make a Lord of the Rings show and don’t include this song I’ll be very very disappointed. Great job man I think you really got Tom Bombadillos spirit with this song.
There are Lord of the RIngs movies u know for quite some time now. at least 15 years
@@doiron12 they said show, not a movie
Oof, pre- rings of power hope kicks me in the groin.
@@redrow3629
We do not speak of that show.
@@redrow3629 that is not canon in Middle Earth. It's not even canon irl.
Very glad I came across this one.
Jolly good time indeed, very uplifting :D
Love the hurdy gurdy!
Das wird auf jeden Fall bei der nächsten Zusammenkunft in der Schänke gespielt ;)
This has to be my favorite version of this song.
Tolkien would not have liked any modern adaptations of his work... until now.
Amazing !!💖👍👍😍
Tom Bombadil, the mystical legend.
Ohrwurm incoming. Great work!
Next time I read fellowship. Imma just play this instead of reading the song - awesome work mate!
Reading fellowship for the first time and I just had to google to see if anyone had done Tom's song. This is so fucking good.
You're really an incarnation of Tom Bombadil. Awesome performance.
I've listened to this so much that it's in my stable youtube recommendation samples. Love your attitude, your style and your talent man, we need more Tom Bombadil in this world, peace
Tom MFing Bombadil (Merry Fellowing)
Everyone is gansta until they hear Tom Bombadil bassy tones, as old man willow learnt.
Mate that was brilliant 😁 loved it!! 🧙🏻♂️
This song is better than the one from Rings of Power. Bombadil/10
Heck no it’s not the from from the show is so calming and amazing lyrics this is nothing compared to that what you talking about?!
@@yaqubhussain1468 This one sounds more authentic to the spirit of Bombadil's character me - the other one sounded over-produced for a fantasy song.
I love it! Thank you!!! He's my favorite character in the Lord of the Rings after Samwise. I wish they hadn't left him out of the Movies. :)
I love this. The only negative to the short version was that we didn't get to hear more of toms song.
Really good you try make more videos like this with all the other lord of the rings hobbit and other jrr Tolkien songs From all his works
Major respect from Music Swop Shop Melbourne Australia. We are obsessed with this song. We are a consignment music instrument store. Look out for Swoppy bands DAVE 1000 and Gargoyle in 2024. Both bands love this song x

This video should have at least 1 million views! I think I like this version of the song the most! 👍
My favorite version
*Same*
Wow wow wow. Good form Sir! This is great.
love it
Dude, this is really good
One of my favorite remixes
I. LOVE. THIS. Thank you!
The best song for the best character of LOTR!
This is the vibe!!
A masterpiece! Reading LOTR and hearing this is perfect
This is ace! I love it.
TOM TOM JOLLY TOM, I'M HAVING A JOLLY GOOD TIME
I'm actually so thankful that words of power are still being used and that the sounds they manifest are still great as ever
This fire is hot enough to destroy the Ring.
killing it!!!!!
This is amazing lol thank you
This is easily the definitive version of this song now !
Hey dol! Merry dol! I listened to this 4 times today. Thank you :)
Depression cured
This is the best
