Oh my God! If I could click on like a thousand times and a thousand more!! I'm crying because I've always loved this poem and I used to like the BBC version of it! But your version is so sublime! It's so emotional and perfect! I love how you could sound at times dwarvish, elvish or hobbitish in your songs, you capture Tolkien's spirit so well! Many blessings from Sardinia!!!
This song reminds us all of Ian Holm's place in our hearts. He has passed "Into the West" and will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. Thank you for another moving piece.
Right off the bat I’m ready to cry, not only because I’m also ready for another Tolkien adventure but because I love the hobbit and lotr adventures too
The humble Baggins who wanted not to have a single adventure in his life was dragged in to become the part of one of the greatest literary journeys ever written. All from a humble children's book written for Tolkien's son.
Some may say the Lord of the Rings is the greater Story. But for me the Hobbit was always where's it at. Such a beautiful Book. Thorin's last Word make me cry every single Time.
“Some believe that is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I’ve found. I found that it is the small things. Every day deeds by ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay.” -Gandalf
End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise. Enjoy that far green county Sir Ian
If so that must be before Saruman took over the shire, because after Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin helped free the Hobbits from the oak of Saruman the Sackville-bagginses buried their old animosity with Frodo and gave him back his house.
My dog just died yesterday. A good old beagle he was. My family often compared him to the small folk that live within the shire. I hope he rests well now in the land beyond the seas. I shall not say do not weep for not all tears are of evil. Farewell Buster.
“Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.” - Gandalf I hope this brings some hope, loss of a companion and friend are always tough, however, we can be happy in knowing they are in a better place and the weight and strain of life has been lifted and their journey has continued.
Pretty sure that he found his way to Valinor, that his spirit was allowed to leave the Mandos' caves and now he's running in the Oromë's eternal green forests, alongside the immortal creatures who live in here. Or perheaps all of that happens in your heart...
@Im Groot To enter Heaven all we must do is believe. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Acts 16;31 "For by grace are ye saved, through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2;8
When I was in high school, I lost my beagle who I'd known almost all my life. He was my brother. It's rough, and I'm not gonna say that it ever ends up being fine, but things get better with time.
Every man a tear to shed, For the living or for the dead. With stories penned, with tales told, It matters not if you're young or old. In the days past, in days to be, An end of a story we will see. So don't be sad, do not cry, For everything that is born must die Rest well Sir Ian Holm.
@@HobbitNinjaWizard LoL Because it's 3 things that don't go together.. Well, maybe Hobbit and Wizard but certainly not Ninja. I mean Ninja is not even from the Tolkien or Middle-Earth universe!
This is such a beautiful song, both lyrics and music. One of the saddest things in life is good byes and endings. This song communicates that sorrow perfectly!
Parting is such sweet sadness. I don’t fear or dread my inevitable time to pass. But it hurts more to see everything else end. Every parting of friends, every story ending, every great person passing away, every last time. I fear them all so much more when yet I feel nothing about my own.
"But the sons of Men die indeed, and leave the world; wherefore they are called the Guests, or the Strangers. Death is their fate, the gift of Ilúvatar, which as Time wears even the Powers shall envy."
I just went to my Uncle's funeral two days ago, this song reminds me of him. He fought on a ship in the Vietnam War. I have no bad memories with that man, I loved him so much. I used to go fishing and hunting with him, being in the outdoors was his passion. It was the first funeral I've ever gone to, I hope I don't have to go to another one anytime soon... Thank you for this song, it was very beautiful. Keep up the good work Clamavi De Profundis!
I have waited for this song so long. But I made a list of LOTR-songs I wish from Clamavi: -When there is a whip there is a whip -Into the West -Do what Bilbo Baggins hate -Aragorns Song Edit: -There's An Inn -Legolas' song when he heard the sea's call -Errantry -Song of Gondor - Long live the Halflings -full version of Beren's song -Sam's rhyme of the troll -Mounds of Mundborg -Hey Ho, To the Bottle I go. Anything more?
Im getting older. Not old yet, but ive started to hear the crashing waves on the shore, the call of the gulls, and my heart rises with anticipation at the sight of the setting sun. Ive a long way to go, but im starting to understand now what the elders in my life meant. Im homesick for a home ive never seen, longing for the face of one who only my heart has known. Longing to be free of the groans of life and be joined with the growing chorus of voices who have gone ahead of me. Someday, Ill board the ship and take my journey, but there is much yet to be done here. And a long road to the harbor still to walk.
This song reminds me of the image of J.R.R. Tolkien preparing to leave for his last journey, greeting his loved ones, family and old friends and our Middle-earth. Aafter the long journey he finally sees her, there on the shore: black hair like the night shining with starry light, in her blue dress, the penetrating gaze of a wife who anxiously awaits her returning husband, and finally a warm smile . She gets off the ship, approaches her "I'm back." And together they set out, hand in hand. Here ends the image.
This 2020 has dealt me a hard blow, my grandfather died in February and I couldn't say goodbye. He was a very hobbit-like person, left the country to work for his family and only returned when they were able to live properly. Since then, the most valued time with all our family was in his house, around a big table plenty of food. I miss him so much, and then, this song pops in my notifications...I swear I bursted into tears with this one. I hope that my grandpa found a peaceful place just like Bilbo. Thanks for the song, it's beautiful.
I'm a sailor who swallowed the anchor long ago, l listen to the words and tears begin to form as I'm drawn to memories of the days, back when my hair was darker, and my heart was lighter.
I watched it like dozen times already and yet I failed to keep my composure, cry every time. Sometimes even at mere memory of that song. Tolkien made poem to last for ages and Clamavi Di Profundis made sure we will hear it in the best adaptation possible
Unbelievably beautiful sounding. I DO see Bilbo's singing this song exactly this way. But it makes me burst into tears - magnificence of verses, grace of music and, of course, the departure of sir Ian Holm to Valinor, which is still too sad for me to think of.
"Beyond the sunset leads my way", such power in the poems and songs that Tolkien wrote, and you capture it perfectly! I liked how the voices all rose together at the mention of the rising of the sea. Nai Eru tye mánata.
"And islands lie beyond the sun, that I shall raise ere all is done" is my favorite, but I also like that line, ok but actually this whole song is epic.
I don't know what it is about this song. Every time I come back to it, i find myself crying. The message of this song, and your performance bringing it to life has and will do so much for me. For that, I thank you.
As hard as this hits for Bilbo, it hits even harder if you picture Maglor sailing home after some 9000 years of being exiled. Somebody hug that poor elf, please.
You guys made me cry... This is magnificent and I have no more words to describe this song. With no doubt, this song is most than whorthy to remember the great Sir Ian. The unique Bilbo. Thank you my friends, because every time that I recive a notification of a new video of yours I think: Thank you!
Ship, my ship! I seek the West, and fields and mountains ever blest. Farewell to Middle-earth at last. I see the Star above my mast. TLotR is in my opinion the best book ever written, and these are some of the most beautiful words Tolkien wrote. You don't just hear them - you feel them. Also, thank you for another beautiful setting of one of Tolkien's songs.
Last time i heard this the elves had not left for Valinor Edit: I wonder what Bilbo's heaven is. Is it a clean hobbit hole, or is it a long road full of adventures?
@@slothjon1960 hmm but Bilbo sailed with Frodo and Gandalf to Valinor. He didn't go to the Afterlife of Man, but to the Land of the Undying. Bilbo would probably live eternally in Valinor. And I think he'd have there a wonderful and cozy Hobbit home to live in and writing books and poems with the Elves ^-^
@@18947ful I though he and Frodo sailed to Valinor to live out the rest of their days in peace as they were both corrupted by the ring and in Valinor they could slowly be freed from this corruption.
@@johnruiz4354 actually has been quite a qhile I read the books, so I am not too sure. Might be that. But my head wants to tell me it was to live there eternally ...
I read the opening to this poem at my wife's grandfather's funeral. He was a man of God, and I was honored to remember him with Tolkien's beautiful words. Thank you for putting them to such good song, too.
This is a master piece, really. I'm sobbing. It's a melody so peaceful and warm, that really guides the passage with love and serenity to a new adventure. Ian is surely smiling from above. Thank you for this gift guys.
My grandmother was visiting us over the last week, and she left today. I pray she will be able to come back next year but she will be 91. I already miss her.
Your music moved me deeply. Made me remember my mother. She went to the Undying Lands 6 years ago and I still miss her very much. She loved the sea so much that her last desire was to be cremated and her ashes to be spread over the waves of a beach here in Rio de Janeiro, at the light of sunset. Me and my sisters did it just 4 days before Christmas of 2015. Rest in peace Mom. Kisses Greetings from Brasil
This song was beautiful. Makes me want to cry from nostalgia. Rest In Peace Sir Ian Holm, and Sir J.R.R. Tolkien. From my heart, I believe Tolkien would love what you guys have done for his world. :)
Not difficult to guess why we get this song now. R.I.P. Sir Ian Holm may you take the straight path, be welcomed in the Halls of Mandos and go on beyond the sight of Elves and Valar.
Find myself coming back to this song again and again. Might be my favourite Middle-Earth related song and interpretation. You guys really out did yourselves with this one.
This song is so beautifully done. It makes me think of how much fun I had with the LOTR and Hobbit books and movies. So well written, so well performed, and now you guys make these sound so beautiful. We all have journeys we go on, and hopefully they are as exciting as the one Bilbo took. Thank you for this. And thank you to sir Ian Holm for making the character so memorable.
This was a pleasant surprise when I came home from work :-) Feels like a lost opportunity that it wasn’t the credit song for Return of the King, still thank you for bringing it to life.
Here's a Tolkien inspired poem that I wrote called Fields of Fiction. I frolic in the fields of fiction, Since the real world isn't my ideal depiction. Sweep me away to a far off land, Let me embrace an elf maidens shimmering hand. Have dragons fall before my sword, Make armies bow before my horde. Allow me to chase down my shadow to the end of the earth, So I can know what I am truly worth. May I gain my wizards staff, Where I will conjure up whimsical spells so all can laugh. Watch me run my finger down my axe, Making those who oppose me know it is no time to relax. Gandalf and I can puff some smoke, In the midst of festive hobbit folk. I want to soar on the wings of an eagle, That way I wouldn't have to be guided by Smeagol. Move me at the speed of light, Embracing distant love will now be an easy plight. Give me a boat to travel the mighty sea, Don't have the captain be bound by a hefty fee. Me and a dwarf can have a drink, As I give the nearby pretty ladies a welcoming wink. While I'm crossing a bridge I can meet a troll, Eluding his trickery I will retain my soul. All these things and more I wish could take place, However it is realities limitations that I must face. Thankfully I am blessed with an imaginative mind, So the realm of fantasy isn't too hard to find.
I never knew Sir Ian Holm died until this video. It's good to know these things when they happen, so you don't have to feel the heart wrench a year later. Thank you all for making our year brighter with every song you do. Thank you all in the comments who give every soul another text to laugh or relate to, or even brighten up if they've had a bad day. May you all shine on in wonder.
“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
I just finished the Lord of the Rings trilogy of books for the second time, and right after finishing, with the havens still fresh on my mind, I listened to this song. What a glorious way to finish a series I have read for months now.
A bit nitpicky, but LotR isn't a trilogy of books, Tolkien wrote it as a single novel, subdivided into 6 books. It was only published in 3 volumes because Harper Collins decided that'd make the most money.
This just earned a possible place for my mamaws funeral when she dies one day. And it takes a powerful piece of music to earn that much respect from me. My mamaw adores tolkien. Clamavi de profundis I salute and thank you for this amazing poem that you turned to music.
What a lovely memorial! And what a soothing counterpoint to today's worldwide tensions: a place "where night is quiet and sleep is rest." Thank you, thank you, for the joy, beauty, and comfort that you share with all of us.
@@heirofcaelos6698 Hiraeth it is indeed, my friend. Such a poignant concept. Of all things to be "afflicted" with, I think such melancholy and longing is better than most.
@@jonathanhamilton2504 I absolutely agree, I have always looked at sorrow as a reminder of joy, a good thing to carry, rather than a burden, and I am glad to meet one of like mind.
@@heirofcaelos6698 It's always encouraging to find another of like mind and similar good taste in music! It is a good emotion, a deep one that I think most would allow to turn into depression, but like you said, it's really a memory of old, good times.
Goodbye Master Robber. Go back to your books and your chair. Plant trees, see them grow. If people valued home more than gold, the world would be a much better place - Thorin to Bilbo - Rest in peace Ian Holm

If so that must be before Saruman took over the shire, because after Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin helped free the Hobbits from the oak of Saruman the Sackville-bagginses buried their old animosity with Frodo and gave him back his house.

And I think he'd have there a wonderful and cozy Hobbit home to live in and writing books and poems with the Elves ^-^
@@18947ful I though he and Frodo sailed to Valinor to live out the rest of their days in peace as they were both corrupted by the ring and in Valinor they could slowly be freed from this corruption.
@@slothjon1960 I like to think that they can leave Arda into the void and even live with Eru and the Ainur in the Timeless halls.
@@johnruiz4354 actually has been quite a qhile I read the books, so I am not too sure. Might be that. But my head wants to tell me it was to live there eternally ...
I read the opening to this poem at my wife's grandfather's funeral. He was a man of God, and I was honored to remember him with Tolkien's beautiful words. Thank you for putting them to such good song, too.
This is a master piece, really. I'm sobbing. It's a melody so peaceful and warm, that really guides the passage with love and serenity to a new adventure. Ian is surely smiling from above. Thank you for this gift guys.
My grandmother was visiting us over the last week, and she left today. I pray she will be able to come back next year but she will be 91. I already miss her.
Your music moved me deeply. Made me remember my mother. She went to the Undying Lands 6 years ago and I still miss her very much. She loved the sea so much that her last desire was to be cremated and her ashes to be spread over the waves of a beach here in Rio de Janeiro, at the light of sunset. Me and my sisters did it just 4 days before Christmas of 2015. Rest in peace Mom. Kisses
Greetings from Brasil
This. This wrapped around me and hugged me like an old, good friend.
This song was beautiful. Makes me want to cry from nostalgia. Rest In Peace Sir Ian Holm, and Sir J.R.R. Tolkien. From my heart, I believe Tolkien would love what you guys have done for his world. :)
Hit me right in the feels. I have... things...to do...
My heart takes flight and joins my soul above the stars beyond the stars when I hear this....thank you is insufficient.
In this time of pain, fear, and death, we must hold onto the truth that there is more than this world.
It is beautiful, love and peace all around
Not difficult to guess why we get this song now. R.I.P. Sir Ian Holm may you take the straight path, be welcomed in the Halls of Mandos and go on beyond the sight of Elves and Valar.
Im going to record me sunging this when im older so they can play it on my funeral in 85 years
We do.......appreciate you very much. Life has been so trying lately and your songs bring a bit of the Divine to the world
"There is more good in you than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure."
I was not prepared for this level of being emotional. 10/10 would shed a tear again
Find myself coming back to this song again and again. Might be my favourite Middle-Earth related song and interpretation. You guys really out did yourselves with this one.
This song is so beautifully done. It makes me think of how much fun I had with the LOTR and Hobbit books and movies. So well written, so well performed, and now you guys make these sound so beautiful. We all have journeys we go on, and hopefully they are as exciting as the one Bilbo took. Thank you for this. And thank you to sir Ian Holm for making the character so memorable.
Farewell Bilbo, thank you for being a part of my boyhood. And I too acknowledge Sir Ian Holm. Be at peace.
This was a pleasant surprise when I came home from work :-)
Feels like a lost opportunity that it wasn’t the credit song for Return of the King, still thank you for bringing it to life.
The spirit & message is there in Into the West. Plus, knowing the story behind that song, it’ll always be so incredibly special to us true fans.
Earliest I've been and I've never been disappointed
Great video, as always. Truly, may Sir Ian Holm rest in peace.
Here's a Tolkien inspired poem that I wrote called Fields of Fiction.
I frolic in the fields of fiction,
Since the real world isn't my ideal depiction.
Sweep me away to a far off land,
Let me embrace an elf maidens shimmering hand.
Have dragons fall before my sword,
Make armies bow before my horde.
Allow me to chase down my shadow to the end of the earth,
So I can know what I am truly worth.
May I gain my wizards staff,
Where I will conjure up whimsical spells so all can laugh.
Watch me run my finger down my axe,
Making those who oppose me know it is no time to relax.
Gandalf and I can puff some smoke,
In the midst of festive hobbit folk.
I want to soar on the wings of an eagle,
That way I wouldn't have to be guided by Smeagol.
Move me at the speed of light,
Embracing distant love will now be an easy plight.
Give me a boat to travel the mighty sea,
Don't have the captain be bound by a hefty fee.
Me and a dwarf can have a drink,
As I give the nearby pretty ladies a welcoming wink.
While I'm crossing a bridge I can meet a troll,
Eluding his trickery I will retain my soul.
All these things and more I wish could take place,
However it is realities limitations that I must face.
Thankfully I am blessed with an imaginative mind,
So the realm of fantasy isn't too hard to find.
I like it. I'm inspired to try my own hand at a similar theme.
Literally putting a tactical dot, need to remind this
I love it. I absolutely love it, and I am just the same. God bless the imaginative mind.
This is beautiful
Applause. Applause indeed!
I recently have been listening to the audio books and you make me cry 😢
I never knew Sir Ian Holm died until this video. It's good to know these things when they happen, so you don't have to feel the heart wrench a year later.
Thank you all for making our year brighter with every song you do. Thank you all in the comments who give every soul another text to laugh or relate to, or even brighten up if they've had a bad day. May you all shine on in wonder.
I see the star above my mast...beautiful.
“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
"We may speak different language" "but music is a language that all people understand"
Finally. The last in LOTR and the one of the coolest songs in Middle Earth.
The thumbnail is the stuff of nightmares, but the song is so lovely
This is so beautiful. It makes me remember that I have to leave someday. In the end do we matter? yes. Ill miss d&d with all the lads.
Gods, I'm not crying. Nope... This is so wonderfully composed, so amazing and well done! Yet another amazing song by you guys!!!
I just finished the Lord of the Rings trilogy of books for the second time, and right after finishing, with the havens still fresh on my mind, I listened to this song. What a glorious way to finish a series I have read for months now.
A bit nitpicky, but LotR isn't a trilogy of books, Tolkien wrote it as a single novel, subdivided into 6 books. It was only published in 3 volumes because Harper Collins decided that'd make the most money.
@@aaaaaa8656 Ahhh. Forgot about that.
Artist: is great at drawing background structures and landscape
Same artist trying to draw faces:
In a hole lived a Hobbit...
Not a nasty hole filled with the ends of worms
@@johnruiz4354 a warm and confortable hole....
The thumbnail is nightmare fuull
Just got off work and this shows up, phenomenal
This just earned a possible place for my mamaws funeral when she dies one day. And it takes a powerful piece of music to earn that much respect from me. My mamaw adores tolkien. Clamavi de profundis I salute and thank you for this amazing poem that you turned to music.
Beatiful poem and fantastic sir ian holm in the character bilbo baggins, is really touching and fantastic and really amazing🤩🤩
What a lovely memorial! And what a soothing counterpoint to today's worldwide tensions: a place "where night is quiet and sleep is rest." Thank you, thank you, for the joy, beauty, and comfort that you share with all of us.
May you find endless happiness in Valinor, Bilbo. You will be missed old friend, but you'll be remembered.
That's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard
R.I.P Sir Ian Holm! Another jourmey begins! Thas Clamavi De Profundis!
Semp224 just “Holm”
Truly one of the most beautiful and moving songs I know
The lyrics to this song always get me choked up.
Anyone Feeling Depressed For The World That Doesn't Exist?? I Am In Love With Tolkien Fantasy Universe
Read Tolkien’s Leaf by Niggle. You can find PDF copies online.
That, my friend, is hiraeth. Keep that feeling well in your heart.
@@heirofcaelos6698 Hiraeth it is indeed, my friend. Such a poignant concept.
Of all things to be "afflicted" with, I think such melancholy and longing is better than most.
@@jonathanhamilton2504 I absolutely agree, I have always looked at sorrow as a reminder of joy, a good thing to carry, rather than a burden, and I am glad to meet one of like mind.
@@heirofcaelos6698 It's always encouraging to find another of like mind and similar good taste in music! It is a good emotion, a deep one that I think most would allow to turn into depression, but like you said, it's really a memory of old, good times.
I love the lord of the rings and you guys do such a great job with the songs they tell stories and it's magical keep it up
Goodbye Master Robber.
Go back to your books and your chair.
Plant trees, see them grow.
If people valued home more than gold, the world would be a much better place
- Thorin to Bilbo -
Rest in peace Ian Holm
This music has reached a realm beyond. Clamavi De Profundis you have touched infinitude with this piece.
Omg thank you =')
Every time i go back to this song, i think i'll be alright. WHAT A FOOL....
Best of the best music video.
Please never stop making these songs
I like songs where you focus on your wonderful voices. This song is an example just like Lament of Boromir and Song of Durin.
Wow ... I'm speechless. Almost cried. Awesome song and interpretation.
This song is so beautiful, I had goosebumps the hole time when listening to it, once again you guys nailed it! Keep up the great work Clamavi De Profundis team! Also congratulations, as I am writing this you are around 50 people away from 10 thousand in the petition!
When at the end of the year, Spotify summed up my most listened to genre as "Middle Earth". Thank-you for all the beautiful melodies you've written to these fantastic poems and songs over the years.
Every day you release a new song, is a good day😊
I may not be a catholic anymore, but your music makes me nostalgic for the church I grew up in. I feel at peace for a moment.
I have never been religous, but churches and in general religion related themes calm me so much.
"And he lived happily ever after, unto the end of his days"--~
Remembering Sir Ian, as Bilbo in The Lord of The Rings
Rest in Beautiful Peace, Sir...
This is so beautiful! Your songs are amazing! ❤️
Great song! I love your songs! ❤️
Great as always
