Watch Billy Boyd's "The Last Goodbye" music video for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.

Billy Boyd, the actor who played Pippen in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, returned to Middle Earth to record a credits song for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. The official video for his song "The Last Goodbye" has now been released and it is great!
"“We had to get the song just right, to send the audience out of the movie theater in the most perfect way we could,” says Boyd, in an e-mail. “But I don’t think it was until I was sitting on the long flight down to New Zealand that I started to really think about what the song would be. Luckily all the Middle-earth movies were on the flight so I could remind myself of them as I flew south.”"
It truly must be an honor to Boyd to have the last goodbye to fans of this franchise and the song of course made him reflect on his time with the franchise.
"“The Lord of the Rings films were such a special time for me in many ways—working with Pete, Fran and Philippa, being in New Zealand, being part of Professor Tolkien’s work or even just the incredible friends I made,” says Boyd. “And being asked to go back to that, to work in that wonderful fantasy world again and to be singing the song that says goodbye to Middle-earth for everyone involved and the fans who took this beautiful journey with us is truly a great, great honor.”"
The song is beautiful and the video is a great montage of footage from throughout the franchise, It'll definitely get big fans emotional and get them to want to watch all the film again. Enjoy!

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies will be in theaters on December 17, 2014.
