Scottish actor and musician Billy Boyd, who played Peregrin Took in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, wrote and recorded this tune for the end credits of The Battle of the Five Armies. The Peter Jackson-directed movie is the final part of his six film journey based on the J.R.R. Tolkien classic novels Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. "We focused on not just the final installment, but more so on this ten-year epic adventure," Boyd told Billboard magazine. "A song to sum up the six movies. We recorded in Wellington, New Zealand, at one point travelling to Auckland to Neil Finn's studio -- where we recorded some of the guitar." "It was surreal to be in his studio," he added, "as he did the song for [2012's] The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey."
