Cheers for watching everyone!
I'm packing up all of my things for either moving or storage, so I only had vocals shots for this one. This is the last song I've covered before moving to the states, so I thought it was a fitting choice. I have a few more saved up to release over the next month, before I have everything set up, so yis' might have to say goodbye to my trusted gigantic black backdrop!

Leave any suggestions below.

Thank you all for staying so handsome!

I know the song was written from the perspective of Bilbo returning home after his adventures with the dwarves, but I cant help but think this was also Peter Jackson saying goodbye to Middle Earth and the fans. A last goodbye to the stories and characters we love, turning towards paths that lead home

"If more people valued home over gold, this world would be a merrier place."
~ Thorin Oakenshield's last goodbye 💔

[RomBombadil]

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.” J.R.R. Tolkien

Safe travels Colm. This cover was beautiful.

[Kipicus]

Billy Boyd: **Sings it very Scottishly**
Colm McGuinness: Hold My Whiskey.

Honestly got a little teary eyes listening to this. When I heard this with the last Hobbit movie it was a great ending to a story I love and it works so well in your style

My mother passed away two weeks ago after battling a resurgence of cancer. She was only 59 years old.
She chose The Last Goodbye sung by Billy Boyd as one of the songs for her funeral service

I really like your cover. She would have loved it too ❤

Lyrics for ease of following:

I saw the light fade from the sky
On the wind I heard a sigh
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers
I will say this last goodbye

Night is now falling, so ends this day
The road is now calling and I must away

Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the Sea

Under cloud, beneath the stars
Over snow and winter's morn
I turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me I cannot tell
We came all this way, but now comes the day to bid you farewell

Many places I have been. Many sorrows I have seen.
But I don't regret, Nor will I forget
All who took that road with me

Night is now falling, so ends this day
The road is now calling, and I must away

Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the Sea

To these memories I will hold, with your blessing I will go
To turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me I cannot tell
We came all this way, but now comes the day
To bid you farewell...

...I bid you all a very fond farewell.

l don't know if you are aware that song has been used for a lot of Veteran funerals here in the USA . Thank you for this post, l am sure it will be used in many 4th of July gatherings of veterans . An empty place setting is always present for our fallen Brothers and sisters. Thank you... One last plug for Over the Hills and Far Away from Sharpes Rifles.. God keep you safe and handsome.

The irony is that this song was released the day one of my Favorite Youtubers died...
RIP Techoblade and Brilliantly sung Colm!

[averylividmoose]

When Technoblade passed away, this was the next recommended video. I'd already listened to this last night, a few times actually, but, this time it felt different, it felt intentional. Like a last goodbye. I know Colm probably isn't particularly involved in the minecraft community and hell he might not even know Technoblade, but, eitherway just, thank you for making this, Colm. It means a lot, to a lot of people, I'm sure. Same is probably true for anyone who's lost someone recently.

To auld lang syne

[BigTwigs]

Yup. Cried with the original, and cried with yours as well. This song has means a lot to me, and you did it wonderfully.

[kylewilshusen]

Now I love LOTR and The Hobbit, and I love the original song. Colm my man, you have done this song justice. Very well done. *Standing ovation*

[Flamus__]

Can’t wait for this love your music and love lord of the rings

[cerridwenrowan]

I'll need shares in Kleenex for this one.... Cap'n you'll break my heart

[victoriagooner]

You taken Billy Boyd's excellent take on The Last Goodbye and elevated it to a new height Colm. The Irish folk cover brings it truly to life. Best of luck in your move across the pond to the United States. Hopefully you will make a trip up to the west coast of Canada in the future, some amazing Irish pubs here and would love to buy you a pint.

[asmaran]

You are going to make me cry you beautiful man.

[nocheckmarkgames]

There is something about the Irish Cadence that sparks a feeling of Defiant Victory in people who hear it.
The way it goes from a somber melody, and can suddenly change into a Triumphant Chorus.

[ThatOneOtherFangirl]

Listening to this because a friend of mine suggested it after one of our mutual favorite content creators just passed. This is a beautiful cover, thank you for it. It's easing the pain of the loss, even if we didn't know him personally.

Just got to watch this today after the news of Technoblade's death, it's almost scary how timely this is. I needed this, thank you for being as awesome as always Colm :) I dedicate this song to Technoblade (never dies!!)
