Chapter 1 - Sing me a song, Master Hobbit

Disaclaimer: Nothing of this is mine.






His throat was so tight that he knew he could not sing a single note.

He imagined the warriors riding out to their death in this very moment, and he saw the Lord eating as if nothing had happened.

No hobbit song he could remember was fitting for this moment and this place.

The Shire was so far away that he wasn’t sure if it ever had existed, there was only his dread closing in around him.

All hope was lost, but he had been commanded, and so he sang, only noticing the words when they had left his mouth.





Being a musician, I couldn’t resist this one. It’s movieverse, in the book he doesn’t have to sing, but I think the scene in the movie is so touching that it exists in its own right (and I like how Billy Boyd sings and what Howard Shore made of it).

Please R&R (I was so excited last time that there are really people who do this! Thanks a lot!)
