Ok, it sound like they're singing in elvish and....this is The Hobbit Hole...so I'm thinking 'ol JRR himself as writer #1.

I don't know who wrote it but it sounds like a song that is done by "Avalon" called "Take You at Your Word".

The song is indeed "Take You At Your Word".

The writers are British songwriter Paul Field and the late Nashville songwriter Grant Cunningham. Cunningham was killed in a freak fall during a pickup soccer game in 2002.

I did not know that. I do know is that I love that song.

Here is a sample of the tune as sung by Avalon.
