Hans Zimmer - Interstellar (Epic Cinematic Cover) 

I introduce you to my 5th hand - grown now during isolation, I name him Hands Zimmer. Ever since the video of Bach's Toccata and Fugue, I've been getting non-stop requests to play the Interstellar theme with this organ sound - the most out of any piece this year. In true isolation spirit I spent way to long messing around with the video effects and audio production here, doing a lot of experimenting, but everything you see and hear was created from scratch. In general, as fun as they are to play, I want to leave all of the film score covers to the amazing Patrik Pietschmann - he is the expert with those. I'm sure most of you are familiar with him, but if not (check the link in description, his is hands down the best solo piano arrangement of the Interstellar theme) and you want to see more film score covers in this format, his channel is the place to go! I hope you're all in good health and have a safe month this month ♥

By the way, he performed this song alone. We see 5 hands but these are his hands. He used five-dimensional space to do this.

The 7 minutes of this video is gonna cost us 51 years

It’s interesting how Zimmer was able to include a ticking clock method into this song. With the beat being 60 beats per minutes/bpm which is the amount of seconds in a minute. In actuality, it’s a beat that represents time moving on.

No joke, Interstellar was one of the first movies that made me cry for real. Like seriously, it was made perfectly. The story line, the music, the characters, the RESOLUTION, the protagonist, the antagonist, the side characters, all of it hits me as hard as nostalgia, and that thing hits me as hard as a sports car going over 100 mph. To anyone that hasn’t watched Interstellar…. Watch it right now. Stop reading this comment right now and go watch it.

It’s all fun and games until Rousseau pulls out his other sets of hands.

interstellar has one of the most powerful movie soundtracks ever

Interstellar's theme is like the theme that plays as you walk along a beaten path, on your way fight the final boss, having an epic battle, dying, and it ending the world

Interstellar theme is so perfect that you might discover a new law of physics if you decode the key strokes somehow.

They really need to show this movie in theaters again... Not because I didn't see it in theaters or anything...

Me: I want to learn this My brain, hands, and eyes: That little maneuver’s gonna cost us 51 years

I've been listening to this video for about a year. But by 3:40, the music is taking me away from me. It's like I'm navigating space like Voyager-1. Definitely a great melody. Excellent. Incredible. Thank you Mr. Nolan and Mr. Zimmer

4:35 is the best part. The power I felt. I screamed cried and laughed all at once.

Mom: You can't grow 5 hands that's impossible! Rousseau: *No, it's necessary*

APRIL FOOLS!! Last year you got a video with nothing, this year you get a video with everything.

I can't help but get emotional whenever I hear this piece. It is truly one of the greatest musical pieces to ever be written. The intense emotions of frustration, confusion, calmness, realization, and final rest are just beautiful. Truly an amazing song and an amazing film.

3:40 Absolute goosebumps!!!!

This music terrified me more than the wave

For the people who don’t understand why 5 hands are needed: The song is originally on 2 instruments, piano and organ. 2 hands for organ and one hand for the organ feet. The other 2 for piano

it's almost the end of 2021 and I'm just now watching this. I must have been in the space station while you were down on the gravity planet playing this masterpiece. Well done sir.

Always come back here to listen to this masterpiece of a cover !!!!

"Towards the Mountains." "Those aren't mountains. They're waves."

Possibly one of the most beautiful soundtracks that will ever exist

Interstellar music always gives you the train of hope. But you never seem to be able to catch it in time

3:40 OH MY THAT WAS EPIC

"In music, you're basically having a conversation." - Hans Zimmer

Imagine growing three spare hands just to play Interstellar. Such dedication.

2:20 powerfull, when you try to get max volume from your headphones but they're maxed out already

The most beautiful soundtrack ever made!! 😭 Interstellar is also my favorite movie of all time 🚀🪐🌑

"Nobody believed me, but I knew you'd come back." "How?" "Because my dad promised me..." 🥺🥺

New theory: Rousseau is a being of only hands. They just float in a general mass, and he utilizes however many he needs at that time.

Absolute chills on the transition into "No Time For Caution." Easily one of the best cinematic pieces to date.

Thank you so much for this. I am in the deepest depression I have ever suffered and listening to this has inspired me to watch interstellar for the 18th time. I will cry my eyes out until there's no more tears left. Please lord let it give me hope that there is love in this evil world and a happy ending is possible. Please lord I beg you. Thank you Rousseau for recreating this master peace. It gives the sound of escaping hell and reaching the stars. My dream 😫

I just realized the music notes texture is the same as the 5th dimension bookshelf! Really nice attention to detail!

There is something really clever about this soundtrack, specifically in Hans Zimmer's use of rhythm and time. Notice at 2:10, the piece is 60bpm, which means there is a beat exactly every 1 second, just like a clock. The part where it gets extra crazy is where the characters themselves experience time dialation in the movie - Hans changes this rhythmic clock to match, in mathematical precision. I'll let you guys explore further, but this whole soundtrack is a masterpiece both in the musical experience and in its craftsmanship.

This movie is one of the best in all of cinematic history. There is so much depth to it, in every sense. The score is beautiful, as we know. The acting is unbelievable. The plot and creativity is mind blowing and captivating. I am rewatching this again soon. I don’t think I’ll get tired of interstellar.

This tune always makes me cry. Interstellar screened at an age when I was very passionate about writing novels. This soundtrack has inspired so much of my work. I now contemplate quitting writing forever and this tune makes me remember how innocent energetic and passionate I was

This is such a true arrangement that you can almost hear Cooper screaming MURPHHHHHH in the background

"She's out there. Setting up camp. Alone, in a strange galaxy. Maybe right now she's settling in for the long nap. At the light of our new sun. In our new home."

0:50 is so beautiful :(

Right at 4:15 where the hands grow translucent and overlap playing... absolutely phenomenal. ✨😙

The april fools joke here is that all of this was taken in one take, with one person. Rousseau has 5 arms. 5 hands. 25 fingers.

The only mistake in this video is that it ends

The 4th dimension really hits the story. Just saying. To those who haven’t watch interstellar yet. I highly recommend it. So much life learnings to be acquired. Time is also the factor in life. :D

7 minutes of this felt like 7 years. Took me to a whole another dimension.

Me: It's impossible to hit all these keys at once Rousseau: No, it's necessary

"Which set of hands is Rousseau's?" "All of them," "It's not possible," "No, it's necessary."

I feel like the interstellar theme especially done on piano is like the anthem for the entire Earth.

"Everything has beauty but not everyone sees it" -Confucius

6 years since this movie has been released, and people are still talking about it!

I actually self-taught myself Interstellar. it was the first song I learned when I first got my piano. No lessons, no references. I come here, to find out that you're doing the EXACT movements I did. Kudos.

Such an EPIC cover

I listened to Patrick's arrangement for billion times looks like im gonna listen to this for billion times now

Interstellar is one of the best movie's of all time.

so freaking epic, I love the part where it gets real dark around 2:17

The dream part is KILLER

Hans Zimmer is an absolute genius

"Rousseau, what are you doing?" "Playing" "It's not possible." "No, it's necessary."

If you think about it, any other combination of these notes would create a hideous song… this is truly astonishing.

i almost cried. the story is too fun and sometimes scary,but the biggest one is that it is combined with science that we cannot argue about now.your details are splendid ,rousseau!

1:10 "What's he doing?!" "He's starting to believe."

“Come on, Tars! Come on, Tars!” When you were playing that part I literally saw that scene. The ending part of the song, when Coop needs to detach, literally sacrifice himself for the human race to continue, I also saw that scene in my head: “Detach...” Absolutely beautiful *arrangement Rousseau, and it made me teary eyed, thank you for that. Made me believe that anything is possible-even if it’ll cost me 51 years.

I can never get bored of this

words cant describe how i feel about this movie, ITS SO GOOD!!!!!!!

Never heard such a terrifying, epic, sad, emotional and lovely song..it Doesn't even have lyrics

Oh I see so Rousseau is social distancing away from Earth.

Idk why but the plot twist of interstellar was so good that I didn't expected it. I wish it had a part 2

Best interstellar cover ever

Did you expose yourself to radiation just to play this

3rd hand appears: "Ok, he's pulling this crap again. 🙄" 4th hand appears: "Come on! What is this bs?!" 5th hand appears: "That's it, I'm calling MIB."

4:38 and onward always cause some quite amount of drops from my eyes. Master piece of managing emotions with music thanks to Hans!! And thanks to this 5 handed gentleman for bringing this emotions in correct order.

This is the version of this song I want to hear when my soul travels through the universe.

this movie was such masterpiece. u can watch it over and over again.

Hans Zimmer: I paid for whole piano, i'm gonna use whole piano.

one of the best covers l ever heard

This deserved atleast 50 million views

I guess you could call this a stellar performance.

No one: Hans Zimmer: In music, you're basically having a conversation.

6:12 gives me chills every time. Geez, such a masterpiece.

Why is this much emotional🥺

1) I want interestellar in theatres again 2) I want rosseau in the theatre to play this 3) I want tissue papers 4) I want peace IT'S NECESSARY 🙂

If this is not played at my funeral I'm not going

bro never misses a beat

@Rousseau Bravo! You generally blow my mind but this is incredible! The multiple hands, the mesmerising composition by Zimmer. You are incredible with what you do. And I’m honoured to hear/see your work.

I love how the notes look like that other dimension he was in.

This movie should’ve taken all the oscars

This song send shivers down my spine like it is the song of the universe calling out to us.

Musical genius Han Zimmer is

I was like, “I could do that...” Then all of a sudden 4 hands come out.

Clickbait -0% Hand movement -100% Talent -100% Love from us -100% Thank you for this masterpiece! ❤️

listing to this while wearing surround sound headphones its is such an unworldly feeling

When I heard no time for caution, I couldn’t stop but repeating that part❤️ amazing

It’s impossible to experience a 3 h movie in 7 minutes.... Rousseau: hold my beer

For those wondering how the cooper station works, have you ever tried putting something in a bag and then started spinning at high speed and holding the bag at a 90 degree angle? The stuff inside the box doesn’t fall out even if the bag is open on ur side, the stuff in it remains on the opposite side, creating artificial gravity. Similarly, the cooper station is like a cylinder than spins at a constant speed, pulling things to the side and thus- creating artificial gravity for the survival... Good day!

6:13 this sounds so good damn monstrous!

2:10 sounds spooky In a REAL COOL WAY IT'S AMAZING 👌❤💯

2:12 - 4:30 Never heard such terrifying music before. Its feeling is so powerful

Me: im gonna play this My hands: thats impossible Me: no, its necessary

This song, or shall I say art peace, provokes every emotion that I have.

Almost a decade since Interstellar movie was released, and this score never fails to amaze me. One of the best Interstellar covers I've come across in RU-vid (the closest to the original score, in my opinion). Calm and epic at the same time. Hans Zimmer is the genius of the millennium and Rousseau, you rock! Looking forward to more epic pieces like this :)
