The Greatest Adventure - (from The Hobbit by Rankin/Bass) - Extended Folk Cover

Подробнее о видео

This time we have a remake of the classic Rankin/Bass song, originally sung by Glenn Yarbrough, "The Greatest Adventure: The Ballad of the Hobbit." I worked with this one for a while to try to keep the melody in the same spirit as the original, but tried to slightly adjust this into a more upbeat tune. The lyrics from the original song were used for the verses and bridge, but I decided to add a repeating chorus. The chorus lyrics were written by me, but hopefully they have the same feel as the original.

Music created using Suno, then stemmed and re-mixed, with additional instruments and vocals added by me. Video created using footage from the Rankin Bass movie. Credit to Maury Laws (music), Jules Bass (lyrics), and Glenn Yarbrough for the original version.

Hope you enjoy!

*Lyrics:*

The Greatest Adventure is what lies ahead.
There are tales never told, and stories yet read.

The Greatest Adventure is what lies ahead.
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes are all yours to make.
The mold of your life is in your hands to break.

The Greatest Adventure is there if you're bold.
Let go of the moment that life makes you hold.
To measure the meaning can make you delay;
It's time you stop thinking and wasting the day.

The Greatest Adventure is what lies ahead!
There are songs never sung, and words not yet said!
The Greatest Adventure is what lies ahead!
There are tales never told, and stories yet read!

The man who's a dreamer and never takes leave
Who thinks of a world that is just make-believe
Will never know passion, will never know pain!
Who sits by the window will one day see rain!

The Greatest Adventure is what lies ahead...
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes are all yours to make.
The mold of your life is in your hands to break.

The Greatest Adventure is what lies ahead!
There are songs never sung, and words not yet said!
The Greatest Adventure is what lies ahead!
There are tales never told, and stories yet read!

(The Greatest Adventure is what lies ahead!)
(The Greatest Adventure is what lies ahead!)

The Greatest Adventure...is what lies ahead.
