"The Last Goodbye" is a song written and performed by Scottish actor and musician Billy Boyd, serving as the official end-credits theme for the 2014 film The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. 🎙️
Boyd, who famously portrayed the hobbit Peregrin "Pippin" Took in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, was specifically invited by director Peter Jackson to co-write and sing the piece. The song acts as a poignant emotional farewell not just to The Hobbit trilogy, but to the entire cinematic journey of Peter Jackson's Middle-earth film franchise.
Happy 65th birthday to Enya!

"May it Be" and "Aníron" use both Elven laguages, Sindarin and Quenya.
Composer Howard Shore "imagined her voice" as he wrote the film's score, making an uncommon exception to include another artist in one of his soundtracks
May it Be earned an Oscar nomination, a Golden Globe nomination, and a Grammy nomination. Enya performed it live at the 74th Academy Awards, later citing this as one of the highlights of her career.
Her music transports me back to a simpler time.
