from the films weirdly i'd have to pick one from the hobbit Billy Boyds the last goodbye is spine chillingly beautiful.
From the books I still love over the misty mountains.
from LOTR i would say into the west.

For me, I prefer songs in the films simply because you can hear them and thus properly experience them. However, the songs in the books do have beautiful lyrics.
I totally agree - ‘The Last Goodbye’ by Billy Boyd is just amazing and my favourite song from the films. I also really like ‘I see fire’ by Ed Sheeran from the Desolation of Smaug.
that is good- i just think i like that they had one of the hobbit actors sing was a particularly nice touch
Of course I love Aragorn's coronation song (obviously😁) in Return of the King but I always shed a tear when the harps start for Annie Lennox's Into the West!!😭 (I try to fight it every time, but even after over 10 attempts, it still gets me!!) I also love Billy Boyd singing on the Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies - The Last Goodbye!😪😪😄
Ooh and Eoywn's lament for Theodred!!! Beautiful lyrics - I have the full complete soundtrack for all the films!!
Probably the dwarves' "Misty Mountains" song. I'd say that my favorite arrangement is from the Mind's Eye audio drama, followed by the version from An Unexpected Journey, and then the animated movie.
I want "Into the West" played at my funeral. Macabre, I know, but still.
The Lay of Nimrodel is my pick in the books.
Do the songs from the cartoons count? If so, here are my favorites.
In the Valley, Ha Ha! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5vu8vU9yCw

LOTR - Flaming red hair or Rivendell theme
Hobbit - The Last Goodbye
1977 & '80
In The Valley, Ha Ha!
Roads Go Ever Ever On
and from the books is either
Beren and Luthien
or
Earendil was a Mariner
i like the book and movies songs.
By far Billy Boyd's "Last Goodbye." Seriously, no contest. The ending of the Battle of the Five Armies was one of the most beautiful pieces of cinematography I have ever seen and I cry whenever I stop and think about it.
One of my favorite songs is from the old hobbit cartoon, fifteen birds, I also really enjoy goblin town. But I like all the songs a great deal.
Frodoooo.... Of the NIIIIINE fingers
And the Ring of DOOOOOOOOOM......
😉
Good pick!
Mine are: Lament of Gandalf, The Edge of Night and The Passing of Elves!! *bows*
Durin's song!
