The song itself soon follows, with a prominent guitar solo that opens and closes it and continues to accompany the song throughout, and a heartbeat-like motif played by bodhrán drums underneath.
It returns in cellos and humming voices during the Grey Havens' scenes. It is used subtly when Gandalf describes the vision of Valinor to Pippin in Minas Tirith, and later triumphantly as Sam carries Frodo up Mount Doom.
The melody of the song is one of the musical themes used in the music written for the film, representing the Grey Havens and the land of Valinor that lies beyond.
As he did, Cameron Duncan, a young Māori New Zealand filmmaker whose work had impressed Jackson and his team, was dying from cancer at 16-years old, and his imminent passing inspired Shore, film writer Fran Walsh, and singer Annie Lennox to write "Into the West." The first public performance of the song was at Duncan's funeral. The song was Frodo singing to Sam as he left Middle Earth and includes Frodo’s lament in the middle of book 6 chapter 9 “The Grey Havens." Director Peter Jackson felt that the song wasn't a good fit as a concluding song for the series, so Shore began to try to write a different closing credits song. The original song conceived as the closing credits of the movie was "Frodo's Song" (which exists only in mock-up form), which became "Use Well the Days," written by Howard Shore. In 2014, German a cappella Metal band van Canto performed a cover on their fifth studio album, Dawn of the Brave. The song was later covered by New Zealand singers Yulia Townsend and Will Martin and American singer Peter Hollens. The song plays in full during the closing credits of Return of the King, although instrumental music from the song (which forms the theme of the Grey Havens) plays at other points during the film itself. It is written by Lennox, Return of the King producer and co-writer Fran Walsh, and composed and co-written by the film's composer Howard Shore. " Into the West" is a song performed by Annie Lennox, and the end-credit song of the 2003 film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. 2003 single by Annie Lennox "Into the West"įrom the album The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (soundtrack)Īnnie Lennox, Fran Walsh, Howard Shore
