The most romantic love story that I have ever seen. After watching this miniseries, I knew what TRUE LOVE should feel like. The music captured my heart! Tears!
I'm sorry. And I'm not singling you out-- it's just that I'm reading SO many comments like THIS. And it's funny because I'm just curious....🤔 if you saw this on the news TODAY, a story about a priest that GROOMED a little girl into what he wanted her to be...(Remember, Ralph himself makes this very claim in HIS own confession: "I molded her, ever since she was a child....") I'm wondering.... would people still think this was a "great love story" TODAY? Or would we think that Father D'Briccassart was a sexual predator?..... No need to respond because I already know what the answer would be.😏😏 And don't worry, believe it or not I like the movie and the book. But I'm just saying in retrospect....
@@Justice-ef9skThat's just the trouble with this generation today; they overthink everything and label everything as creepy or inappropriate. In the process they lose the tenderness and sweeping sentiments of great works. This generation is deliriously jaded and rendered toxic, they produce nothing with magnitude or indelible; just bathetic mawkishness, disruptive nonsense, no vulnerability. Father Ralph was not buggering Meggie as a child, she was a mature, ravishing beauty when they did become amorous. It's the journey of this woman that makes this miniseries so heart wrenching
It was the essence of his greatness that he routinely DID capture and evoke such painfully gorgeous emotions. Do a RU-vid search for "Anne's Theme", the 4 minute full version, from " Anne of Green Gables", by Canada's answer to Henry Mancini, a now decent genius, HAYGOOD HARDY.
this song erases about 30 yrs., and reminds me of watching the mini-series with my mother. I was a teenager, but sort of mesmerized or spellbound by the movie. Richard Chamberlain and Rachel Ward had a charisma, and there probably was never better acting in a mini-series before or since. This also says alot of the director and writer. And to add to that, the themes songs were top rate. This combination of things made a tale that will haunt many of us everytime we thing of the heartwrencing tale
Who else could have scored such touching, moving and perfect music for The Thorn Birds? The music was perfect! And who didn't shed more than a few tears every time they showed a funeral procession and played the beautiful Drogheda's theme? 😢
I am obsessed with this piece and with the whole story. The way Henry Mancini captured the essence of "The Thorn Birds" in this music never ceases to amaze me. If the pain of a forbidden love had a sound, it would undoubtedly be this piece, which tears the heart and creates a lump in your throat. It may be the fact of seeing this love as something impossible, something so unattainable, that makes it so beautiful. It is difficult to explain, but I just close my eyes, put the music on and on, and a tear runs down my face. Thank you for this magic moment.
I agree, so very moving. Even Mancini himself seems humbled by this deeply moving tune he created. Waves of nostalgia wash over me every time I hear it, I still catch a lump in my throat after all these years.
HENRY MANCINI: THE THORN BIRDS:MEGGIE'S THEME. ABSOLUTAMENTE MÚSICA PRECIOSA E EXQUISITA!!! UNA HISTORIA DE AMOR. LA PELÍCULA ES PRECIOSA!!! MIL GRACIAS!!! ❤❤❤
I feel the same way..just touches my heart in a way that surprises me even still, all these years later, watched it with my Mom and Grandmom, we all cried together..classic!
I watched this many years ago when I was meggies age as a young lady it had a profound effect on me, the irony is I actually ended up meeting and marrying my very own Ralph de bricassart we are still together many years later
Most soundtrack music is meant to enhance the scene. Manicini left of themes that will eternally haunt our hearts. The tenderness, sadness, and sense of humor in his music showcases a prolific range in emotions! Who doesn't like Pink Panther, Baby Elephant Walk, Moon River, and this incredibly tender yet morose tale of unrequited love?
So beautiful and I watched this series too many times to count especially for the very handsome Richard Chamberlain. After this, I might watch it again!!!!
I agree. Tugs at your heart strings. This one also by Andre Rieu - Love theme from Romeo & Juliet. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TEVGLXVhhns.html
An exquisitely beautiful song that will always define a love, and a passion that will not be denied❤️ God bless you Henry Mancini and your talent that you shared with the world
This is just amazing! It totally captured everything that “The Thorn Birds” was about.It was beautiful & painful at the same time. Kudos to Mr. Mancini for doing this!
Very touching, beautiful and romantic master piece, each time listen to it move my heart. Brilliant composition and captivating movie Thorn Birds by Richard and Rachel, forbidden and unattainable love yet deeply in love.
Beautiful haunting song. Beautiful tragic series. Wonderful. When you listen to Meggie's theme, you can feel the love between Ralph and Meggie. I love the series, even now. The best series ever. I wish it could have had a happy ending but then I dont think it would have had the same impact it did. Richard Chamberlain, he's my hero and a true gentleman. His paintings are awesome. He is really talented. And Rachel did a sterling job as well.
Me emociono todas as vezes que escuto esta melodia...me lembro da serie passaros feridos.Maravilha...saudade de otimas musicas assim...que o coração escuta.
Simplemente cautivadora! La delicadeza del sonido y el recuerdo grato de la serie que marco la etapa más bella de mi infancia. El sonido de esta melodia me atrapa y me lleva a volar en el recuerdo! Un genio realmente admirable!!! Gracias por subirlo!
Come italiana non posso non mettere in evidenza un così “”grande maestro”” compositore e incomparabile esecutore del brano musicale Thorn Birds. È stato veramente insuperabile, entrando nella storia dello sceneggiato, trasmettendo con le sue mirabili note tutti i sentimenti: una autentica poesia che continua a parlare nello spartito l’emozione più intima ed anche l’animo del musicista Enrico Mancini, sensibile,geniale, delicato,originale. Lo annovero con sincerità fra i grandi autori passati e presenti, nonché futuri. L’Italia ne vada fiera! Onore e amore nel ricordarlo.🇮🇹🙏❤️👑🌏💓👏.
Legends absolutely beautiful love ya plus ennio morricone for love one could die could listen to this music forever diamonds are forever stay strong stay safe everyone sending love from UK thorn birds forever xxx
I recall reading the book and I would sneak off to the washroom just to read a few more pages.....when it came on TV my girlfriends & I would take the phone off the hook......it was marvelous
Linda música a mais linda que já ouvi me faz sentir saudade de alguém que nunca conheci que nunca vi sequer toquei uma tristeza será que alguém me entende? Ou alguém que já amei não sei dizer , e se como estivesse vivido em outros tempos outra dimensão não sei assim me sinto 🌹
25 yrs ago me my Mom & Grandmother watched the mini series "The Thorn Birds" all day long on Easter Sunday..I barley was able to leave the the room to finish cooking dinner...anyway we all loved the series and Richard Chamberlian, this music brings tears to my eyes, it reminds me of happier times and that I miss them both so very much :-( I am so sorry your Mom has passed as well, seems you did the same thing with your Mom..God Bless...JoJo xo xo
Siempre que escuchaba esta música cuando miraba la película " El Pájaro Espino" soñaba en la época que Raúl era diácono y en la época que era párroco de San Antonio que era él Raphael y yo Megiee y que contábamos a caballero los dos como en la película, pero de eso ya pasó mucho el tiempo, voló demasiado...🌹🌹🌹🌹🥀🥀🥀❤
ΒΑΣΙΛΙΚΗ ΛΙΑΠΗ I also saw the series as a teenager. It made me cry at the end and I hoped so much, that my life will never end like the one of Meggie. Now I´m through with this hope, but the music still makes me melancholic...
I am here because I love Thorn Birds and Maggy's theme :). I discovered that it has lyrics so now I am learning and remembering all happy memories which are related with this tv series and book. :)
