@@Veightard Great idea! I can't recommend them enough, they're excellent. The world Rothfuss built is expansive and excellently written, but will require several listen-throughs due to the nature of his craft. Enjoy, let me know how you like them if you fancy!
Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow! 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! Come merry dol! derry dol! and merry-o! Goldberry, Goldberry, merry yellow berry-o! Poor old Willow-man, you tuck your roots away! Tom's in a hurry now. Evening will follow day. Tom's going home again water-lilies bringing. Hey! Come derry dol! Can you hear me singing? Hey! Come derry dol! Hop along, my hearties! Hobbits! Ponies all! We are fond of parties. Now let the fun begin! Let us sing together! 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!
There are hints of it before, particularly when Tom is singing of Goldberry, but I love how the tone totally shifts when Goldberry joins in with him. All of sudden, one is like "Oh snap! I don't know exactly what this is, but it is Deep Magic. This is the Earthsong!"
Thanks so much!!!! The 8 hour audio book part 1 of the lord of the rings the fellowship was deleted the other day like right after i watched and liked it. This song was in there and i really wanted to hear it sung properly :) BEST VERSION!!!
I read the books as a kid, but I must say, I'm enjoying the audiobook more than the films. In fact, I often go back a chapter so that it lasts longer :-)
I’m in the process of listening to the audiobook and let me tell you, there are no words to describe how amazing Rob Inglis’ narration is.
I've heard them a few times now. and I must say after listening to a lot of audiobooks and he is the best narrator I've heard
Couldn't agree more. The only comparable work in my opinion is Homer, specifically the Iliad translated by Charlton Griffin.
@@Veightard Rupert Degas does a solid Kingkiller Chronicle audiobook, for me on the (rare) level of Inglis.
@@MrScrax I've been looking for something to listen to on my mailroutes so I'll check it out

Rob's singing was such a fantastic surprise when I listened to the LOTR audiobooks. Made it so much more immersive
Thanks Vinny
Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! Fal lal the willow!
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! Come merry dol! derry dol! and merry-o!
Goldberry, Goldberry, merry yellow berry-o!
Poor old Willow-man, you tuck your roots away!
Tom's in a hurry now. Evening will follow day.
Tom's going home again water-lilies bringing.
Hey! Come derry dol! Can you hear me singing?
Hey! Come derry dol! Hop along, my hearties!
Hobbits! Ponies all! We are fond of parties.
Now let the fun begin! Let us sing together!
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!
Thank you
I agree with you all best version and it just such a nice sounding song
This was my first audiobook and I was really amazed when I saw the great performance and effort. I fell immediately in love with audiobooks.
very powerful energy emits from this song
agreed
It seals Tom as the anti-Sauron.
Thanks, I really love these renditions of the songs with just the voice alone
That Robert Inglis man.
He's got some chops
This was my favorite version of the song. Robert Inglis’ has just got something special to it that makes it less strange-sounding.
Best two minutes of music ever!
I've begun to suspect that Rob Inglis *is* Tom Bombadil
he has the best versions of the songs :D
I ❤️ this song!! When you’re feeling down, just play this tune and you cheer up in no time!!☺️ I can’t stop singing along with him!!😄
Not even a barrow wight is stronger than Tom's singing!
This song carried me over some dark moments in my life. Infinite gratitude!❤
This is probably the best thing ever.
This was EXACTLY what I was searching for after listening to the audiobook. You're my hero 🤓🤓

i can't stop singing this Inglis hit it out of the park

The saddest exclusion from an amazing trilogy of movies.
Absolut best version! thank you
This is the audio book version. Also my favorite version. Buy would love to hear a metal version. Lol.
This is a banger
Another banger from Rob on this one
My favorite version of Tom Bombadil :)
This shit was str8 fire 🔥
best version ever
finally found the version I love!
While many enjoy reading LOTR, I enjoyed more listening to Rob Inglis's narration.
I hope someone can make Brian Blessed sing this song.
My battle song! *grabs grass wood longsword and cat stallion
Thank you for posting this!
Thanks for posting this, I was having trouble finding it
Best version
I just finished the 3 audiobooks. The Fellowship was the best. But The Houses of Healing was my favorite chapter.
Rob Inglis did the best version of this song, and its so hard to find
He sounds like Tom Bombadil
Don’t forget that Tom invites the ponies to the party, all are welcome to the forest ragers of Tom Bombadil and the Goldberry the River Daughter
Where did the sound go?
Canonically this is God within Middle Earth
Classic song for autumn.
This is bringing back mad childhood vibes, anyone know the narrator so I can download this LOTR audiobook version?
OREN rob Inglis
"Windows down, feeling like a G"
Jolly Tom, Asia. Where was Tom!
he popped off reciting Goldberry's lines
Set it at 2x speed. You're welcome
I wish someone would add some Celtic background folk music to this 🥺
Does anyone know what tune this is or did Ingris write this music?
Ive always wondered how the audiobook production decided the tune he would sing each song too.
@Harris Farley Thank you so much for sharing that! Tom Bombadil is my favorite LOTR song so im glad to know that great piece of trivia! :)
Rob inglis the best to do it
BUMP!!! Still The Best Version Ever, Bob Inglis... I Want a Metal Version... Old Iron Maiden or Queen Style... Oh Well, maybe in the next Life!
Is this a love song to Meriadoc Brandybuck? Merry doll my darling?
HI EVERYBODY
my favourite 🤣
Hey there, Tom!
Vinesauce
Bruh
best version.
