Oh to live someplace like The Shire! The hobbits live so close to the earth, the seasons, the plants, the rhythms of nature. So grounded. Perhaps that is why they were the strongest in resisting the power of the Ring. The older I get, the more I’d love to live like a hobbit. This is just lovely!
I couldn't agree more.. Thoreau was definitely onto something. There are some fun comparisons to be made between Hobbits and Tom Bombadil. Both are close to the "earth" (or whatever it's called in the Tolkien universe), and the rings have little to no effect on them. Both seem to see things objectively and from an individual standpoint are free to act against the machinations of others. The whole concept of what the "ring" represents is an interesting discussion in itself.
I'd want nothing more, just that simple, joyful life with no worries and everyone is friendly with each other, everything else like money and possessions don't matter in the slightest.
And yours are some of the greatest ambiences I've ever heard! Thank you so much for all of your hard work :) My two favourite content creators in such a close vicinity, it's a miracle!
Me, too!! It makes me feel emotional.....happy, sad, lonely, reminiscent of things that I don’t even know about! Almost as though I’ve been there and it’s where I should be now. ❤️😢
'In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat; it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.' JRR Tolkien -The Hobbit
It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end, it's only a passing thing... this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. - What are we holding on to, Sam? - That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for.
That has got to be one of the most beautiful pictures I have every laid eyes on. And thank you very much for another great ambience, I can't believe how many have been coming out now, just within the past few days, but you most definitely won't find me complaining :) Many thanks again for all your hard work, it helps a great deal...with life in general :) I hope things are going well for you as well, and keep doing what you're doing as long as you enjoy it, because it's amazing!
I am having a really hard days, weeks, feeling more and more alone, tired, encircled with sadness and failed plans around me...this was the only thing nowadays which could relax me :) When I look on the background and listen to the music I literally feel that I am in heaven :)
Me too! Every time I feel super anxious or that horrible empty feeling that comes with depression, I listen to some form of shire music. This one in particular. It makes me cry every time. I hope you're doing well, I'm rooting for you!❤
Not to get metaphysical here, but when I die, IF I'm given the option to live anew in some other universe (fantasy or otherwise) of my choice.. the LOTR universe just might be my choice. That's assuming that healthcare is an advanced state to go along with it, of course :P
@@Ddgi-u73 Hobbits were healthy bunch you know - they could live up to 130. Maybe becouse they got their own healers and herbalists and they got all this natural, healthy food and lots of fun? :) So they should be rather healthy. But for me - I m not very religious type u know and even not insisting that I deserve it :) - but if there is any kind of afterlife I would love to find out if Heaven is like Shire-Rivendell-Valinor combined :) To be able to live in the Shire-like place with a garden to work on, and visiting bigest library (ethernal library) :) like visiting Rivendell, and at evenings sitting around a campfire with other fans and listen to our Dead Man, to our Profesor - that will be great :)
But King Elessar shut off the Shire for the big folk like you. 😔🙂 Aragorn wanted a pristine Shire for the Hobbits only. Not to be diluted by anyone. 😏😭😴
This being said, there is some good in this world and it's worth fighting for........love your life. Adorn the simple things. Take nothing for granted. Light your pipe. Drink your ale. Look at the stars. Smile at everything.......for everything may not exist tomorrow.
Ah, my dear fellow traveler, how delightful it is to hear the rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds in the beautiful ambience of Bag End at sunrise. It takes me back to my own journey with my dear companions, Frodo and Sam, as we set off on an adventure to destroy the One Ring and save Middle-earth. This ambience, with its gentle music and soothing sounds, fills me with a sense of peace and contentment, as if I were once again enjoying the comforts of my hobbit hole. I can almost smell the freshly baked bread and hear the bubbling of the kettle on the stove. If you, my friend, are ever in need of a respite from the world and its troubles, I highly recommend that you close your eyes and allow this ambience to transport you to a place of comfort and tranquility. May it bring you the same sense of peace and courage that it has brought me on my own journeys. Safe travels, my friend, and may the road lead you to many adventures!
I only need to hear this delightful music and I'm transported, to a place of peace and harmony. Rolling green fields with meadows, nestled in between. Truly heaven on earth! I can rest easy now, knowing I'm in the arms of all things beautiful. Saturday 6/8/22 2:35am 🌳🌿🌻❤️
This is Enya. She has had a long career and a lot of great recordings very much in this style. This song was played during the end credits of Fellowship of the Ring.
Unfortunately I don’t have any control over how many ads UA-cam places on my videos. If it were up to me they wouldn’t have any but sadly there’s nothing I can do about it. Only way to get rid of them is to get UA-cam Premium.
I love this..I listen to it when I'm working and when I'm writing. Such peaceful feelings listening to this. Remembering sitting in the theaters, or even at home, during a bad snow storm. If I lived in those times, I'd be a woman of Rohan, I can't live without my horses.
Those first, sweet notes begin to play and, hard as it is to explain, I feel I’ve come home. Nothing can match the feeling, thank you @BrettLenahan for this little spark of goodness :) “Don’t adventures ever have an end? I suppose not. Someone else always has to carry on the story.” ~Bilbo Baggins
I cant wait to forget the lord of the rings and the hobbit trilogies so I can rewatch them once again, maybe when the summer comes. such a beautiful movie series
Your ambience videos are outstanding, and it's not just the music/artwork choices. The background noises and animation are just loud enough to make you feel like you could be stepping into a fantasy world, without overpowering the music. I've been working from home this week, and I swear I've never been more productive. Keep up the good work!
This be a great place to live and to walk through the countryside and the valley experiencing the the weather when it is nice and the sun is shining and being inside on a rainy or snowy day looking out from the windows and seeing the rain falling in the rainy season and the snow falling in the snowy season and the all the other seasons I'd like to be traveling the world and exploring it but truthfully I wouldn't leave this place for any amount of riches and there are a lot of interesting places in and around here to enjoy I usually go to the edge of the farm fields and stare out across the rows of crops up to the dark forest where I don't care to go past and then head out to the lakelands and take a swim and do some fishing and camp out for a couple of days and nights and then to the valley below home and just sit under the huge apple trees and eating a couple of apples while reading the book that I brought and then head back to the village and back to the house and take a nap and afterwards have a good meal and some friends drop by and I tell them of my traveling around the area and one day I'll venture out to the world beyond us here but I know that I never will but I know that I'll never get to far away from where I grew up and the places that I went to on this trip were places that I've been to many times and I may never see what is out there and there maybe nothing that would put a smile on my face than being here in my village and around my friends, well everyone has went home and I'm still very tired so I lock up the house turn out the lights and go to bed and say goodnight all.
I really enjoy your videos. I can enjoy these kinds of fantasy music in the background while working. Can you do how to train your dragons, please? I absolutely love the film's score.
This is really a very pretty scene. An interesting bit of trivia: The way the Hobbiton set is built in Matamata, NZ, Bag End actually sees the sunrise like this, although in the movie, Bilbo and Gandalf watched the sun set in this direction. They actually had to film the sunset scene in the morning to make it work.
Great idea. Appreciate that everyone needs to make a living, but this is just too many adverts. Adverts every few minutes defeat the objective of listening to this music. Disappointing.
All of these songs are so warming and bring me peace. I have fond memories associated to LOTR as we all do, and I know that this music brings us all a sense of peace and hopefully good memories. May it Be by Enya is something special also.
another wonderful ambience video! love the atmosphere of this one. was wondering if you'd consider making a laketown ambience video- i love its music and i thought that'd be cool.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, to whoever made this. I love falling asleep to music. Falling asleep to this basically puts me directly into the shire in my dreams.
Trust me, they annoy me as well. Sadly I don’t have any control over the ads and how many there are. UA-cam puts as many as they want and sometimes scammers claim the music is theirs and demand a certain number of ads be played during the video. If I tried to remove them my channel would be deactivated. Only way to avoid them is to have UA-cam premium.
Imagine living in a place like The Shire, I love countryside, its so much better than living in a city, especially at summer. unfortunately, a lot of people can only afford to rent a flat, so cities are their only option.
It's like discovering another planet in our solar system that's habitable and people ignore it..... sometimes I just don't get humanity...... genius writing and performance here in one of many Beatles masterpieces.
Love the music. Love the ambience. Then , BOOM, an ad. Why destroy the relaxing mood with an ad?? Place them at the beginning so once we relax,… we can actually relax. Just a thought
I agree with you. Unfortunately I don’t have any control over how many ads UA-cam places on my videos. Some of them don’t have any and others have one every 5 minutes. Really annoying I know, sadly I can’t do anything about it. Only way to avoid them is to have UA-cam premium.

Big city people love to fantasize about it, but that usually stops the moment the time comes to shovel some shit
this is the most calming music ever.
merry christmas
Love it! Julie's art is one of the best I've seen of the shire.
And yours are some of the greatest ambiences I've ever heard! Thank you so much for all of your hard work :) My two favourite content creators in such a close vicinity, it's a miracle!
@@nelikozak totally agree
Her work truly is incredible!
These are always amazing, but I love hearing Gandalf's voice mutter/singing The Road Goes Ever On. Gets in my head every time.
I was just thinking the exact same thing as I listened to it, I love hearing Gandalf's humming.
Me, too!! It makes me feel emotional.....happy, sad, lonely, reminiscent of things that I don’t even know about! Almost as though I’ve been there and it’s where I should be now. ❤️😢

It’s a fictional place but somehow I miss The Shire as if I’ve been there all my life. 🥺

Close your eyes and remember that tomorrow is a new day, a fresh start. Take deep breaths, you’re gonna be alright, I promise ❤

Never doubt that one grain of salt can give anything a bit of flavor.
Don't doubt that you are loved and cared for by someone you've never met. I love you friend.
I love this one helps me with my anxiety and depression
Me too! Every time I feel super anxious or that horrible empty feeling that comes with depression, I listen to some form of shire music. This one in particular. It makes me cry every time. I hope you're doing well, I'm rooting for you!❤
@@gianna526 thank you.
UNFORTUNATELY, WAY TO MANY COMMERCIALS
I would love to live in The Shire. What a wonderful and magical world.
Not to get metaphysical here, but when I die, IF I'm given the option to live anew in some other universe (fantasy or otherwise) of my choice.. the LOTR universe just might be my choice. That's assuming that healthcare is an advanced state to go along with it, of course :P

I should reread Lord of the Rings once again... Return to this place that almost feels like a second home to me

Just wanted to make you aware that there is a Lord Of The Rings video in the middle of your ads.
Nothing I can do about it sadly. I don’t have any control over how many ads UA-cam places on my videos.
When people say they can’t imagine what heaven must be like, show them this
This gives my heart a hug and transports me back to the Shire. Beautiful and so therapuetic. Thank you xx🇬🇧
This is an indescribable feeling when you feel good here, but you want to go beyond the threshold.
Bro there is nothing but elf's, trolls, orcs and eye of saruman. Stay here we got sunshine and plenty beautiful landscapes here too.
The look on Tolkien's face if he had heard this music would be priceless
Ah, my dear fellow traveler, how delightful it is to hear the rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds in the beautiful ambience of Bag End at sunrise. It takes me back to my own journey with my dear companions, Frodo and Sam, as we set off on an adventure to destroy the One Ring and save Middle-earth.

May it bring you the same sense of peace and courage that it has brought me on my own journeys. Safe travels, my friend, and may the road lead you to many adventures!
I’m curious, who came here after Ali Abdaal’s recommendation…..😃❤
For me , paradise is here 💗
This hobbit's house, view of shire, sounds of birds , warm light, and listen to this Howard shore masterpiece music 💯💖
I only need to hear this delightful music and I'm transported, to a place of peace and harmony.
Rolling green fields with meadows, nestled in between.
Truly heaven on earth!
I can rest easy now, knowing I'm in the arms of all things beautiful.

The song at 8 minutes though....most moving song I've ever heard in my life. Who is that?! Where can I hear more of her music? Absolutely magical...
This is Enya. She has had a long career and a lot of great recordings very much in this style. This song was played during the end credits of Fellowship of the Ring.

Frodo is passed out just off screen. Door is open from the night before.

I've been working from home this week, and I swear I've never been more productive. Keep up the good work!
It began. In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit
Omg this is perfection 😍
I keep trying to fall asleep to this but there are adverts literally every five minutes! Absolutely ridiculous.
This is an amazing compilation! It has all of my favorite music tracks from the movies, even some from the Hobbit!
This be a great place to live and to walk through the countryside and the valley
experiencing the the weather when it is nice and the sun is shining and being inside
on a rainy or snowy day looking out from the windows and seeing the rain falling in
the rainy season and the snow falling in the snowy season and the all the other seasons
I'd like to be traveling the world and exploring it but truthfully I wouldn't leave this place for
any amount of riches and there are a lot of interesting places in and around here to enjoy
I usually go to the edge of the farm fields and stare out across the rows of crops up to the
dark forest where I don't care to go past and then head out to the lakelands and take a swim
and do some fishing and camp out for a couple of days and nights and then to the valley below
home and just sit under the huge apple trees and eating a couple of apples while reading the
book that I brought and then head back to the village and back to the house and take a nap and
afterwards have a good meal and some friends drop by and I tell them of my traveling around the area
and one day I'll venture out to the world beyond us here but I know that I never will but I know that I'll
never get to far away from where I grew up and the places that I went to on this trip were places that
I've been to many times and I may never see what is out there and there maybe nothing that would put
a smile on my face than being here in my village and around my friends, well everyone has went home
and I'm still very tired so I lock up the house turn out the lights and go to bed and say goodnight all.
Love the lotr music. The art is beautiful.
I really enjoy your videos. I can enjoy these kinds of fantasy music in the background while working. Can you do how to train your dragons, please? I absolutely love the film's score.

Uno simplemente no olvida los momentos en los que fue feliz. Cuando era más joven y leía estos libros y veía estas películas, lo era.

Let me be.

Trop de publicités... je supprime de ma playlist
Que maravilla de musica!!!! Hermosa cada una de las notas!! GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS!!! Howard Shore
Currently reading the hobbit with this in my earbuds ☺️ such nostalgia
The images and sounds of the Shire call to our hearts because they are a glimpse of what living in heaven with Jesus will be like.
Great idea. Appreciate that everyone needs to make a living, but this is just too many adverts. Adverts every few minutes defeat the objective of listening to this music. Disappointing.
Love this theme song! Warms my heart everytime
esta clase de musica me deja dormido en 30 segundos xd
How do you get around copyright infringement on UA-cam playing this music?
Working while my mind is in the Shire. What a peaceful feeling.Wish you all to have a good time listening to these songs.
Such native motifs! Timeless! Beautiful atmosphere, thank you :)
The first few notes are enough to make me feel like I'm finally home. What a score!
Fantástico. GRACIAS

I might try and do another one at some point soon though.
If I'd become a millionaire, I know how to spend that money.
Beautiful as always ☀️😊but a bit low the volume, especially if listened without hearphones
If that was what awaited me everytime I opend my door i would sit and smoke pipeweed there as well
The shire and collegiate paper writing. It makes it all so relaxing, and my words flow.
When can I move in !
I would like to think of it as the sunrise, and a new beginning.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, to whoever made this. I love falling asleep to music. Falling asleep to this basically puts me directly into the shire in my dreams.

I always imagined The Shire is what heaven looks like (if there is an afterlife).
