All rights of the Original "Tears in the Rain" go to Hans Zimmer and Wallfisch (for the 2049 track, the original Blade Runner Tears in the Rain goes to Vangelis). Enjoy! :)
When i was younger, my dad and I went to blockbuster and rented the original blade runner. He had watched it numerous times when he was younger, and he told me how good of a movie it was. Being only like 7 or so at the time, I didn’t think to much of it. But when we got home, and put it in the disc player, I was instantly infatuated with the deep storyline and rich music of the film. I like to think that this movie really shaped my childhood, and I couldn’t think of a better candidate for that title. Now that 2049 has come out, my dad can’t get enough of it. I remember how giddy he was to see it in theatres, so eager to relive that beautiful experience that the first movie delivered. He watches it time and time again, and it makes me so happy to see him this way. In conclusion, blade runner changed my life, it shaped me into what I am today. Thanks for your time lol.
That's beautiful to hear man. Movies transcend physical boudaries of inspiration. I myself watched 2049 more than two handfull, excellent visual and mindbending depth. cheers.
Thanks for the kind words! I also became interested in the first part as a young man, and the original soundtrack from the film became an integral part of my life, I fell asleep to this music for many sleepless nights. When I learned about the release of the 2nd part of the film, for a while I did not find a place for myself. In the cinema, I sat the whole movie without stirring. The continuation of the film surpassed all my expectations, so harmoniously and in spite of the years separating the two parts, the picture of 2049 is a wonderful continuation of the original film. I apologize for my English.
Its all just tears...in the rain. (The movie (o.g.) always makes me sappy) a correlation of hope and fear, of love and loss, life and the inevitability of death, and the question that remains....what does it mean to be human?

I swear Bladerunner was honestly the most realistic of the sci-fi movies in how the world could be like during a space age. The parts I liked the most were probably the music, which in itself told much of the story and the mood of the characters and this piece was by far the best. Still puts me into tears every time I watch that scene at the end, and hearing that speech while the rain fell. Definitely still one of the better movies out there if only for the feels alone.
It’s still the most realistic future that sci-fi depicts. With the tech boom, development in AI, and extensive genetics and bio-cybernetics research we are having along with the rise in poverty, disparity and income inequality and rapid urbanization of countries mixed with the shifts towards monopolistic markets and trillion dollar conglomerates… this future isn’t far from a realistic possibility. Probably why cyberpunk sci-fi is my favorite genre
Me quedo pensando...Que R. Hauer se haya "" ido"" en el año en que su personaje en la película Blade Runner también parte de este mundo ( año 2019 en la realidad y en el cine ) Hay "" raras y extrañas situaciones """en la vida de los seres humanos. La interpretacion de Roy Batty fue un hito en su carrera del actor R. Hauer. Gracias Holymolie. para una fana del cine como yo, esto es una ""sorpresa"" de esas que la vida nos da.

Lucifer in Latin means "the light bearer". look at Roy's left eye, it has a lightning sign in blood. I saw Satan fall as lightning from heaven - Luke 10:18
I can't listen to any of the versions of tears in rain music without crying, no matter what movie or speed it's on. Fucking incredible. This isn't music, it's an emotion.

I'm a DJ, and that's relevant for later. When I was growing up, I didn't realize the impact the original movie had on so many people, like my father and millions of others. When I got older, however, and started really getting into film and audio, I started watching it with my father and realizing how important this movie truly was. When he passed in 2011, Blade runner was the first movie I watched after his death and Roy's death scene shook me to the core for reasons I don't truly know if I'll ever get over. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago and I am doing a themed set for a Cyberpunk night. Of course, I had to play almost everything from the original Blade Runner OST. There is no Cyberpunk without BR. For the final song, I chose the original Tears in Rain, complete with Roy's speech. When it started to play, I could feel all the emotion coming back after years of my father being dead. I held my composure as best I could until the set finally ended on that song, and then excused myself and cried in the back, hard. I didn't know it at the time, but the night I was DJing and played that song and cried, was the night of the same day Rutger Hauer had passed. That hit me hard. I don't know if there will ever be a time when i don't hear this song from now on and not tear up. I never once, in my life, thought a piece of music with a few lines of monologue would ever bring me to tears, but Vangelis, Rutger Hauer and my father all showed me it's not only possible, but also that it will hit hard. I thank the 3 of them for the wonderful gift they have given me, and this song is truly one I will always cherish.
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams
2019, the year Blade Runner movie Was set in. Its been 37 years since The original movie came out. I still think its one of the best movies in or out of the SF field.
When I as younger, I watched a movie called "Blade Runner" with my brother and father. I don't recall much of my reaction to the film, other than laughing at a replicant death scene and my brother doing the same. Over time, the film slipped from my memory until my roommate John asked if I had ever seen it. I said no, and to be honest I didn't realize it was that film until I was at the scene of the replicants death that I had laughed at as a child. But I didn't laugh this time. I watched in silence, and continued the movie to completion, absorbing every scene I could looking for a deeper meaning that I knew was right in front of me. Beyond the greater meaning, beyond who was human and machine, beyond the subtle nuances of the great film, i think the greatest thing about this film is overlooked because many don't realize it when they see it. The thing the film cherishes so much, life, is the very thing that makes the film better. I feel that the more I live, the more I grow and learn, the more I realize how insignificant and small we are, and how terribly close to death we all are- the better the film becomes. Because after all, all these moments will be lost in time. Like tears. In the rain.
Blade Runner shouldn't be watched in your prime youth, you'll find it laughable or boring. But after having been dulled by the constraints of being a grown up, confronted to the lost of loved ones, illness, depression, social alienation, feeling of losing yourself, to be fed up playing a role, chasing rainbows and cynism, then this movie will be a striking one and maybe you'll stop underlooking it. Because Roy Batty's monologue will be the most beautiful and sincere memento mori you definitely wasn't expecting. And then you'll feel again, painfully, what is it to be human, how it's both a loathing but exquisite experience. Loathing as we often fool ourselves to flee our existential loneliness or emptiness, exquisite because even if we're nothing on a cosmic scale we can imagine, create and appreciate beauty in tiny details.

Vangelis' music was so iconic in the first movie that it became a character in itself, it's so integrated a part of the movie that even Hans Zimmer wouldn't dare letting his own "boombastic" parts overshadow anything, he kept that stuff for the action and love scenes. It's perfect in the original and perfect in 2049. The amount of respect people have had for this piece of art, both graphically and sonically, is just insane - it's an enormous undertaking :D I hope we get a third film sooner than later.
"Yes, questions... Morphology... Longevity... Incept dates... " So beautiful. This movie changed my life and it became a part of me when my life was in danger in 1996. And i came back. It always makes me cry.
Vangelis music was like listening to what stars would sound. We Greeks are proud of people like him. He made us proud and eternal grateful for his talent.
The man is a masterpiece. Sicario, Arrival, 2049, among the most amazing movies ever made, a legendary feat considering they are not only back to back, but all entirely different styles to the point you wouldn't even know the same guy directed them.
@@kristinaant9747 Of course. I was talking about the director of 2049 who was laser focused on this films precision and faithfulness to the original, all the way down to the sound track having a Vangelis vibe. I am of course talking about Denis Villeneuve.

I saw Blade Runner in the theater. I was 14. Must have seen it 100 times on DVD. Tears in Rain hits me right in the solar plexus. I'm weeping like a child right now. The damn beauty of it is almost too much.
Well we all do, for a moment. I first saw this when it was new. Walked home thru Baltimore in a warm rain. Never saw the re-make. Nova Scotia? Hunt's Point.
Sometimes, when the light is just right, when your eyes mirror the twinkling in the distance, when your soul hovers just beneath your skin, you see how even the memories have moved on, leaving empty spaces, dimly lit, where a part of you once lived...

Cry like a baby when I hear this. Memories of my dad who brought us up alone after our mum died when we were young. He was our rock. RIP sweet soul 😥🙏💖✨
For many years fans of Blade Runner like myself have considered this tale as the eye opener to what we know as chaos today. Watching this film back in 1982 it struck a serious chord when we saw how man has dropped to a new low in creating machines to do our dirty work and not once get thanked for it in the process. Not that a machine would understand the word thanks unless it had awareness to process the word. Be it as it may, Ridley Scott gave us a timeless classic in a noir detective thriller set in a gritty, visceral atmosphere one cannot help but describe it as nothing less than hell on earth. The music set a perfect standard to offer hope to the hopeless, a light to those stuck in the dark and for others, it was a new wave of technology that has helped the movie industry push forward with new ideas in film. Such as Children of men, Sunshine, Snow piercer, and its new sequel - Blade Runner 2049 which had finally won two academy awards. But vangelis will live on in the original Blade Runner simply because he gave us the ability to imagine beyond the dirt, grime, and violence set in a city that's ready to collapse from its own shortsightedness. Nothing short of brilliant music which compels one to leap beyond logic.
This melody left a great mark in my life. When i was a child, i saw this movie. I remember all the scene, i understand many years ago, that roy was full of the desire to live, but his time comes... I understood that someday we leave this place. This melody has all, hope, dispair, nostalgia, redemption and the like. So, we must live all the time before we go.
My friend of many years had died, and I was driving through the fog of the mountains. Snow was melting. The sky was grey . I was playing the sound track of Blade Runner our favorite movie. In my tears I saw a bird soring through the fog as Rutger's good bye was playing, and I heard my friend who had died whisper, "There is an afterlife George and I am fine," Sleep well Maryann, we always had Blade Runner, even in death...
Yeah man, they will never leave us, a huge sorrow and a happiness in the same moment. We all will be crying, the one time or the other. I love your you!
There could be a paradise, an after life...we ll never know, but I am sure we can also live through the things we create and the ourselves imbedded in the memories of the others. Ray Bradbury wrote something like that in Fahrenheit 451 when talking about an oldman creating toys for the kids of the city
I’m gonna cry when I play this 15 years from now Bc I had such a connection with this masterpiece. I played the soundtrack almost everyday when I was going thru a dark phase in my life.
One of the best films I seen as a child 👌 the sort of film that lives long in the memory. For the time it came out it was way before it's time the original. A masterclass from all the team involved. You just dont get films like this now a days and never will! Times have changed for sure. God bless ever one and stay safe 💯👌
I was 14 when I watched the original with my dad. I have never forgotten that day such was the impact of that masterpiece. I remember not fully understanding the nuances of the film and remember the joy when I suddenly did. Sadly my Father passed away weeks before 2049 was released. I think he would have loved it like the original. “You've done a man's job sir. ...
I've been reading many of the analyses and the comments about both movies . I ask myself "what am I looking for". "You've done a man's job sir". It's what i would like to hear before I leave the planet. thank you for posting .
Great movie, one of those that marks you with fire for life ... the soundtrack is wonderful, like all of Vangelis ... To listen to it thousands of times, a love for the soul ...
I used the words “like tears in rain” under a dove for a memorial tattoo. I can think of no better way to describe the power of single moments coupled with the impermanence of our experiences. This video is the soundtrack of joy and grief, if both emotions could ever co-exist at the exactly same time. Great job and thank you.
The co-existence of emotions like joy and sadness create a sentiment call Nostalgia, it's the joy of the happy memories, and at the same time the sadness within it of the time that has past.

I saw the first film at a pre-release viewing I. London, seem to remember the tickets were cut out of Starburst magazine. Went with my friend and the queue was around the block! I was mesmerised fro that first moment. Seen the film SO many times and still love it today (in my 60’s now). My son and I went to see 2049 at the cinema and we both enjoyed it, Hans Zimmer did a great job of recapturing the mood of Vangelis’ original score. So. Ice to see younger people discovering this brilliant movie with its ever more pertinent themes. 😊
The flame of life hangs on by a flickering thread. A constant wind, threatening it’s very existence. Despite the attacks, it continues to burn. It continues to thrive. Fueled by the thought of existing; not wanting to give up this gift it was given. The opportunity to be real. To acknowledge truth and meaning. Forever infatuated with the emotions and feelings that life stirs. Such a beautiful thing, this small, little flame.
He's describing scenes from battles in which he participated. He was a combat model and served all over the system as an off-world commando. He flew gypsy ships with the Russians near the Tenhauser gate, and fought in the Jupiter wars.
Those few lines were actually written by Rutger Hauer himself. Ridley Scott let him compose the end of Roy Batty life and Ridley liked it enough to keep it in the movie. It was a wonderful piece in the movie. RIP Mr Hauer. You will be missed.

I am actually 723 years old and this brings back good memories of defeating King James the first in mortal combat during the Great civil war of the 13th century.
I watched Blade Runner as a kid in Mexico. I didn't know what to expect. I guess I thought it was gonna be just another sci-fi flick. From the 1st frame the movie captivated me and I was mesmerized. I won't lie to you and say that I had an existential epiphany or something similar because I didn't. I was far too young to entertain that kind of thought process. In fact, I remember walking out and not quite understanding what I had just witnessed. I was confused. What was that? I didn't even know if I liked it or not, but what I do remember is that it stuck with me. I kept thinking about it for a very long time. The dystopian imagery and above all the music. It just engrained itself into my psyche and it never left. I kept going back to Los Angeles, November 2019 throughout the years and I soon realized that Blade Runner is the GREATEST sci-fi movie of all time.
What got me was that at the end of it all Roy faced deatg on his own terms and in a way that people can only dream of: With bravery, dignity, and class.

HellcatHD - Not a retcon at all. It was Deckard’s way of invalidating Wallace’s power move. Dismissing his creation, and his pride, with a petty detail-one that doesn’t even happen to be true.
@HellcatHD I can't be the only one who actually noticed that whilst the irises were brown, her pupils were retro-reflectively green in the dark, which Wallace's copy didn't have.
@@Shorjok Wasn't this Ridley Scott's idea? I remember him saying that the Replicants' eyes should glow like a cats in certain light, signalling their other-humanness...
I saw this movie 5 or 6 times when it came out. Stunning on every level. The Music transported me into the moods. Let it roll over me. This is the music that is soundtrack of my mind...
Just close your eyes and enjoy. This masterpiece brings you always to your most beautyful place in your own mind, and most of the times are that your memories..

I was surprised how well this worked for sleeping. I usually just choose these ASMRs as ambiance to relax to and not sleep, but this made me fall asleep in about five minutes.
Such a stunning piece of music. It takes me away from the present moment to somewhere otherworldly every time I listen to it. Beyond question the best musical sci fi score there is.
Most dear Mrs, Zimmer and Wollfisch - your "tears in the rain 2049 "track is a cherished gift in my life most deeply felt with mysterious power unlocking hidden vistas of my souls existence. It is everything positive, hopefull, full of the highest love and light I can touch and feel Thank you both so much for this immense gift Sincerely Philip Namaste
Its an important lesson for us humans. Live and try to experience and see as much as possible. Travel, see other people and cultures, share happiness, enjoy the things you see, feel and hear. Pick up an instrument and learn music. Play with friends and love your family. Do all the things that is available to you and peaks your interest..... And one day, when you are old and grey, you can say to a young man "I've seen things you people wouldnt believe" ......
Vangelis is one of those big bangs in music. He defined another site for music. Or discovered deeper depth of this immortal and eternal art ... now many are following his step in music . When I listen to prelude song, I go directly to the valley of eden, hovering into the air of eternity, I can clearly see, where no feelings and no memories exist, just me and eternal peace ... Vangelis created these atmospheres in music, and no body can get even close to him, some way he knew the right chords and harmonies , It is as if with the help of an ancient goddess, he had found the lost ancient and celestial melodies and rhythms of universe.
A breathtakingly beautiful theme. One gets the imagery of being carried aloft on the wings of a beautiful angelic persona higher into infinte vaults of sparkling star-studded dimensional space
I was 18 in 1983. I was leaving home and on my way to adventures in foreign lands. I had time to kill so went into a small cinema in a backstreet to kill a couple of hours.. The film was Blade Runner and suffice to say its stayed with me ever since. We've grown old together. 2049 is a beautiful sequel...
Adore this tune and how ageless it is. For me theres no start middle or end i can just listen and be part of it. Vangelis is a true musical great with a direct line into the soul.
I used to have a flat in London that looked out over the city from a high floor. On winter nights I used to listen to the Bladerunner soundtrack and look out of the window.
Really captures the spirit of Roy's melancholy and Rutger Hauer, star of Turkish Delight, Soldier of Orange, Flesh and Blood--one of my all-time favorites!
So many emotions rolled up in one piece of music, I've got to go to work and I can't get out of the bubble of this track by Vangelis, Masterpiece when I saw and heard it back inthe 80's and will still be long after I'm gone
Je ne vois pas de meilleure façon de décrire la puissance des moments uniques couplée à l'impermanence de nos expériences. Cette vidéo est la bande originale de la joie et du chagrin, comme si ces deux émotions pouvaient coexister simultanément
