This scene is by far one of the most saddest yet memorable scenes in HIMYM. Season 9 Ep. 16 Note: Lyrics are in the CC (Captions) No copyright intended. All rights reserved to Bays & Thomas production and 20th Fox Television.
For me, the blue french horn was forcing destiny. The obsession of getting there faster. He didn’t need to steal a yellow umbrella, it just came to his hands. Destiny.
Plus, the all he had to do to get together with Robin was “Make it rain” he was forcing destiny and got lucky in the process. Just proof that he and Robin could get together for a time but it was impossible for them to last forever. He had to let go of Robin and get under the yellow umbrella(and out of the rain) with Tracy.
it only made sense with Tracy's death. Or else, how would the last season be so intense. Why in the episode of the time traveler, will Ted just go to her house begging for the extra 45 days he'd want with her when she is still alive. It wouldn't be so intense. Damn, it made me cry whenever these kinds of scenes came up because you know how Ted waited 9 years before meeting the one just to witness her death. It's intense, loving, and at the same time heartbreaking to watch. I agree that Barney and Robin should not have gotten that divorce. Also, Ted and Robin's last scene just showed how it all came back to robin which was not welcoming. But the mother's death made it feel something deep inside. It makes me want to rewatch all these scenes just so that I could seize those moments and hold on to them. I never experienced true love or the death of a loved one. But watching this show makes me want to hold on to the love of my life as long as I can. This made me love the show.
@@d1rtyharry378 her dying made sense to me but why split Barney and Robin when they spent an entire season on their wedding? I would have liked it if Ted had found his epic love and now just isn't interested in someone romantically instead of being a horndog for Robin!
Bro I watched how I met your mother at least 100 times( all the seasons repeated) when I’m sleeping it’s playing, when I’m playing games it’s playing when I do homework it’s playing😂if I were to say what the best show is in the world it would be how I met your mother for sure😌
The fact they only had one season to introduce tracy to the audience yet they somehow made her the most likeable character in the show compared to the characters that were in it for all nine seasons just shows some amazing talent even if you think the ending was terrible
Seriously though. After years of the main cast, you'd expect a new character to be absolutely hated. Yet the casting and acting were fantastic, and they still killed her off, probably in anticipation of the audience falling in love with Robin/Ted instead. Miscalculation. They should have pivoted.
@@SeraphsWitness great point and the problem with most authors and directors. They have a vision for the ending from the start, and don't like to pivot. This is the perfect situation where they needed to see character development and the fanbases reaction to that, and make adjustments to their original plan.
Well here's the funny thing is I read somewhere that if they didn't have the budget to do seasons 7-8 I believe then they were going to end the story with Victoria as the Mother, which I'm SOOO GLAD that's not how it ended cos like you said Tracy was one of the most likable characters.
Why do people like this sentence? I'm confused. You shouldn't need anyone to live your life. Yes you should be happy if you are surrounded by people you love. But that doesn't and shouldn't mean you have no life without them. People who like company of themselves are the happiest people, they don't NEED someone to make them feel legendary. THAT'S THE DREAM. Barney's whole life revolves around how he desires to be seen to as LEGENDARY to everyone including his friends. So this is the most toxic advice you can give to someone. The right advice should be something like make friends, have fun with them, make memories but don't get as so much attached that you can't survive without them.
@@elizabee4830 oh I still dislike the ending. Don't hate it. Loved Barney's whole arc, always LOVED Tracy, Marshall and Lily had a good ending, but everything else can just go fuck right off lol
The fact that she made the role work at all says a lot, with ten years of anticipation to meet the character, not many actresses could have fit the shoes.
The ending should be like....... "and kids, that's how I met your mother" Barney: "That's lame, here's how I'm gonna tell the story, and it's gonna be Legend, wait for it........." *ends*
Honestly I loved the ending. I didn’t like it when I saw it for the first time but now I get it. It’s like Marshall’s car, Lilly’s dreams, Marshall’s dad who didn’t get to see his children, the divorce of Robin and Barney which was a marriage made out of bunch of lies.. all of that shows the Reality of everything, and that we don’t get what we want all the time and that’s just life.
While HIMYM did not stick the landing, they really nailed this casting. Cristin Milioti had an impossible task, yet she made the Mother everything we had pictured in our heads. I will watch anything with her in it. She's amazing!!!
Agreed. For me the only issue was the divorce after such a build up. If you keep barny and Robin together or not rush it at least. It would make way more sense.
Disagree. The ending was nearly perfect. The story was always about Ted and Robin. The mother was an important element, but the show was not about some sappy ending meant to satisfy the title of the show. Ted clearly loved Tracy, as he had loved Victoria before that, and Robin before that. Tracy gave Ted something he could not have had with Robin, he loved her, but she died. This is a thing that happens. The show leant on reality to stop it slipping into complete farce. There was plenty of farce in the situational aspects. Without grounding (Marshall and Lilly's break-up, Marshall's dad's death, Ted and Robin being in different places in life, Ted and Victoria being in different places in life, etc.) the show would have been ridiculous. Plus, the title of the show is, "How I Met Your Mother," not, "How I Lived Happily Ever After with Your Mother." Most of the show's resolution haters need to grow up.
The ending was fine, there was no way that an immensely popular show with this many memorable characters we're going to have a perfect or great end. Case in point nobody was happy with the endings of mash, seinfeld, game of thrones... it's not the ending you're anger about, it's never seeing the characters again.
We love her as soon as she showed up because she exceeded way past our expectations. She was exactly the female version of a Ted that we spent nine years loving and understanding and empathizing with. Other than just being absolute perfect for Ted, she's also fit with him appearance wise - brown hair, small, round eyes, adorable figure, etc. The ending would have made sense if they made another season for us to say goodbye to all the characters, and at least explain why Ted would wanna fall for Robin again after they had that lunch together...
they said they didn’t totally love the ending in an interview, but couldn’t work their way around it because of the work they had done all the back in season one, with the kids. they were grown up and couldn’t redo it or find a way around it. they left it as is for us to decide.
@@skydominguez2039 that was lazy on their part. It's hard to understand why we wouldn't immediately fall in love with her considering she's exactly like Ted, and she was everything he looked for after the endless heartbreaks. Apart from liking her, we also liked that she gave Ted the soulmate he was so desperately searching for. If anything, the way Robin kept shooting down Ted for different reasons but later fell for guys for the exact same things, that's something that would make people hate the character
@@taccos3524 that was something highlighted in season 9. there was 1 whole episode dedicated to her interaction with each character. It made sense that Ted fell for someone who was a delightful mix of the people he loved the most. And Barney ...
I especially love the narration at the end, bob saget’s voice really puts emotion into that moment “Kids, I must’ve heard your mom’s rendition of “la vie en rose” a million times over the years, every night when she tucked you in for instance, but that performance, the first time I ever heard her sing, that one will always be my favorite” it hits home more than I’m comfortable with
I actually think the whole point of the show was that there is always more than one person that's perfect for you (Tracy, Robin, and maybe even Victoria). Timings may not always align, and life might get in the way. But in the end of it all, hopefully, we all find the right person.
"I knew I couldn't stop loving her. Not even for a minute. I carried that with me through every stupid fight. Every 5am Christmas morning. And I carried that with me when she got sick."
I heard that speech so many times, it's no wonder it popped into my head when I lived it. She told me she was sick day 3. I already knew I was in love with her day 2. I was in too deep and I knew it.
Yeah the facts that: 1) we don’t know the illness she got 2) we don’t know ANYTHING of tracy and ted’s couple life. We just know the two childs and the illness 3) barney and robin get divorced Are what makes me hate the ending
Kids, I must have heard your mother’s rendition of La Vie En Rose a million times over the years. Every night when she tucked you in for instance. But that performance, that first night I ever heard her sing; that night will always be my favourite.
I don't care how fucked up this show was, it made me smile, and this version of la vie en rose makes me cry. So many sad and beautiful menories flood when I hear it.
The scene starts with the same track as in the "You're all alone" scene, underscoring Ted's loneliness. Then Tracy's song takes over. It's poweful. It's hopeful. The attention to detail and the foreshadowing in this show are amazing.
That sad melancholy piano music always makes me feel the sadness of losing Tracy Moseby. I’ve watched the entire series 4 times, and it all gets sadder every time. The jokes are no longer a surprise, and you know that losing Tracy is inevitable. The only redeeming value of this show was its extraordinarily high quality. HIMYM was absolutely better than Friends. Yes, I would “die on that hill”.
I had a HIMYM phase through highschool, and I told my girlfriend at the time how beautiful this song was and how Tracy's voice made me want to cry. She facetimed me with her ukelele on hand and sang it for me, almost exactly how Tracy sang it on the show. Dont know if I'll ever feel like that again
can i just ask what happened? im in highschool right now and its pure shit, so im kinda only living for the hope of a better future. does it really get worse?
I will never not cry watching this scene... I remember the first time I watched it, Tracy sang for exactly one minute but it felt like an eternity. I don't think I ever really felt the love, characters feel watching any TV show or movie before and I don't think I ever will again. This scene was so beautiful and I didn't want it to end.
I’d do anything for a show to replicate this emotion or foreshadowing again. I just don’t think one ever will. That’s what makes this show so good but also so painful. If only they nailed the ending
@@stefanlaterra5797It's not really the same sort of thing, but I really liked Something In The Rain, as well as Crash Landing On You. They're both really good romantic comedies on Netflix, although I don't think either of them has a dub.
I could live without her, i could move on knowing she had died, but ted going back to robin destroyed any peace the original ending could have brought us.
To me it shows how everyone will always get what they want and deserve eventually. Ted got the wife and kids, Robin got the career and travel, but at the end of the day, they were at peace with their lives but not at peace in their relationship. They got everything they ever wanted
@@christian9125abd the problem was if they lived together all that years, Robin would not be thar successful and Ted wouldn't have his kids, so it's kinda fixed the problem Lilly had with them together at the varanda
I've always loved how realistic this show is with handling love and romance. I've been watching Friends also, and while it's funny, they really treat romance at a surface level. HIMYM treats it really seriously and emotionally. Hearing the "You're all Alone" track at this scene with Tracy was hauntingly beautiful. It gave the vibe that we're looking at a memory, a warm, but bittersweet one given that Tracy ends up passing eventually.
I’m 3 days into a breakup with a girl I was dating for 3 years. Before she dumped me out of nowhere, she showed me HIMYM and I became obsessed. We broke up before we got to the end, so I decided to finish it on my own. This is by far the most beautiful song and it’s helping me to survive this nightmare
so sorry to hear that buddy... I'm going through my first breakup right now, a few months ago I showed my gf HIMYM since it's my favourite tv series... we never got to finish it since she left me out of nowhere after 2 years. I thought I found my Tracy, but I guess she wasn't, I love her still. I'm sending you the best of luck Ryan, take care we'll get through this
especially the episode 'vesuvius'. The moment when ted started to tear up when tracy said "what mother is gonna miss her daughter's wedding". That hit me from every angle.
@@allaghendramorgan Yes and also it was so sad or when he said "There was no way in hell I would go to Robots vs Wrestlers" and then talks to Tracey, crying, saying he just wants this extra 45 seconds ://
if you meant the one where Ted and Robin ended up together Marshall and Lily were staying together and had their kids while Barney had his Daughter Ellie then yeah I agree not to mention Tracy got to be together again with her REAL soul mate Max
@@billyjoe6787 in other words maybe in some shows/movies some characters get to have MORE THAN JUST ONE soul mate like Tracy has had Max as well as Ted while Ted has had Tracy as well as Robin
To everyone who is mad at this show, the writers were told to cut 16 minutes of footage from the last episode. A scene of ted and robin having lunch, talking about what could have been. And Tracys funeral was cut, Be mad at the network, because they couldnt allow 15 minutes of extra runtime for a show that had been playing for 9 years.
They stuck with the ending of forcing ted and robin back together even though we saw it fail several times. An extre hour wouldn't have helped that poor choice.
Honestly those 16 minutes are so important that the ending completely falls apart without them. They should have stuck to the alternative ending since the actual ending is now paced horribly and comes out of nowhere.
@@reklem2if Robin and Barney stayed together the rest of the ending would have been perfect. You are right because of the divorce, death and everything else it is sooooo rushed. I feel bad for everyone, studios so selfish.
I think I’ve just figured out one of the reasons this scene is truly magical. Throughout the show they have a lot of musical numbers: Suits, You Just Got Slapped, For The Longest time etc. And they are all brilliant, but what they also are is fantasy they’re songs that take place in a characters head or an over dramatised version that Ted has made. They’re well rehearsed, some sung in a studio, they’re not real. But this moment, this moment is real. Just a woman with her ukulele singing about the loss of a loved one and this right here is the moment Ted truly comes into reality, he might not know it yet but with this song his life has just started, his fantasy has become reality.
Man the casting for tracy has done so precisely. Even her rendition of la vie en Rose feels so comforting and warm to listen, it's like hugs to our ears. I immediately fell in love with her the second I saw her ❤
The last season is how you do love. Forget the other stories. Forget the ending. Just Ted and Tracy's story. So well written. You didn't need too much background of how they were of screen or how they were with their kids. The small snippets were long enough to show what true love really is
I think that Tracy's death was a sad ending but not a bad one. I think that it showed you can love someone so much and they can fight to stay but in the end the strongest are still taken away. The bad part was after everything, Ted moving on so easily. It was years between him moving on but we never saw him grieve. That ruins it.
@@rayandrewbuensuceso6879 the shows been finished for years... People have had time to finish it. I'm not going to refrain from ever talking about the show because of a few people
@@marianapereira8075 they didn't! And they recorded all the scenes with Ted talking to his kids BEFORE they did the scenes with the rest of the gang so it didn't show them ageing. They changed their mind to mean Tracy didn't die but it was too late because of the pre recoded footage and they had to stick with it sadly
Imagine being sad like ted and just hanging out in balcony when suddenly you get to this hear this song. So, heart breaking and lucky at the same time.
The fact that people always come to this years later and how reading the comments while the song is playing, makes me cry. This song is my favorite love song and one day I'm going to sing it to my kids. We are all true fans, and even the people that haven't seen it, it hits the Feels so bad, I love it. I need to rewatch this show again even tho i just watched it again during the summer.
in the future covid has calmed down but it still there. Peoples guards have gone down, Tracy goes with Ted to a party and a week later she feels sick. When they realize what she has it's too late and she passes. ((based on how she was in the hospital in the flash forward and they never said what she had. Also they had kids before they married i mean Ted had his daughter in 2015. Tracy did die in 2024; four years after they married.))
I just love the fact that she still carries the ukulele, her last gift from her dead lover, with her. She'll love him just the way Ted will keep on loving Robin, even if they are with different people.
RU-vidrs, I must have listened to Cristin's rendition of 'La Vie en Rose' a million times since it first aired, over the years... every night I feel lost, for instance. But this performance---the first time I ever heard her sing, the life she brought to this part and this song, that will always be my favorite.
My girlfriend learned this on ukelele when I told her it was my favorite love song. That's how I found out she also loved this show. I miss her so much.
It's 2024, this show has ended long ago. A lot of ups and downs have come in life, but whenever I am at my lowest, I listen to this. Most of the times it's late at night when I'm Truly Alone with my feelings. Thank you for uploading this video 🙏🏻🙂🥀❤️🩹
Hold me close and hold me fast The magic spell you cast This is La Vie En Rose When you kiss me heaven sighs And though I close my eyes I see La Vie En Rose When you press me to your heart I'm in a world apart A world where roses bloom And when you speak...angels sing from above Everyday words seem...to turn into love songs Give your heart and soul to me And life will always be La Vie En Rose
I love this show. Yes it eventually declined in quality but I love how I met your mother. Its a series about love and depression while also being fun and goofy while having some of the most hard hitting moments of all time. I still shiver when I watch this
I watch how i met your mother every couple years because im scared that I'll burn myself out from it and the big emotional moments wont hit me in the feels as much. And after finishing it again. This song provides me the emotional comfort i need to deal with the fact that its over and the actors have aged. How i met your mother is the only reason i believe in a soul mate.
It was years after she had died... it was time to move on. It’s like what Barney said “It wasn’t a bad marriage it was a very successful marriage that only lasted for a while” Ted Loved Tracey Like no one else cause she was his soulmate. Just cause he went back for Robin doesn’t mean he loves Tracy any less. She was gone 6 years, I’d want to be able to move on after that amount of time if that was me.
A few years ago i lost my girlfriend. Even though we had some arguments i never think about that losing her was even An option. And eventually i did and it was the worst thing that could happen to me, Just a life so young and ended so abrupt. Even till this day nothing has helped me more to het trough it then HIMYM. There ain't no thing in the world that could make me smile except for how i met your mother. When this scene was on i cried and cried but afterwards it made me realise im not the only one whos been trough this and gave me the strength to finally move on. Ever since that day ive been getting my life together again. Ik wanna thank the makers of HIMYM from the bottom of my heart for this♥️
for the 2000s kids wondering why this song feels like you've heard before , it's the song that plays in Wall E when Wall E is admiring Eve on her first visit to earth.
even just hearing tracy singing this song alone makes watching the whole ninth season all over again worth it. ( making sure to skip the ending, of course. )
that rainbow girl ash (Went on a rant TLDR; most of it is fine, Ted and Robin getting together isn’t. Should’ve left that ending die) it kinda undermined the whole season, and maybe the whole show. For me personally I have no problems with Tracy dying, they hinted at it, it made sense why future Ted would tell his kids this long story, and why the kids didn’t zoom out of it. Or Robin and Barney getting divorced, divorces happen and they weren’t a perfect couple. (tho they really could have spend more time on it, they didn’t really focus on any problems in the relationship and when they did the problems were kinda dealt with. All we REALLY get was a throw away line from Robin about how maybe she picked the wrong person). My only problem, and what seems to be a lot of others problem with it as well, is Robin and Ted getting back together. I mean the last season was almost completely about Robin and Barney’s wedding, the love between them not the still sparks of love between Ted and Robin. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention but Ted didn’t seem to be in love with her anymore. Seasons before they had tried to be together but realized and accepts that sometimes you are just not meant to be with someone. They planned that Ted and Robin will be together from like season 2 and seemed to really want that to be the ending. However from the way it turned out it looks as they ended the show, someone said “oh yeah, didn’t we have an ending planned?” so they just threw in these random ending that seemed to come out of nowhere.
I never wanted to watch it because i already knew how it would end. I gave it a try and knowing how it ended made it ironically better to watch. Every foreshadowing of Tracy's death hit home. It was hauntingly beautiful and heart wrenching. Especially this beautifully sung piece and the 45 days scene.
My dad introduced this show to me and my sister and it took us 2 years. It was so amazing. At the time, i didn’t get most of the adult jokes because i was still like 13 but it still made me laugh so much. Before i knew it was abbreviated, me and my sister had come up with calling it HIMYM lol. I remember the first time I saw the last episode i couldn’t help but tear up. It went quiet and we kinda just looked at each other. Then we started cry laughing and it was the first time i ever cried about a show. 🙂 Robin showed me that you should chase your passions like dream jobs. Marshal showed me that love is the greatest thing in life and once you find it you can never let go. Lily showed me the importance of caring for others and staying true to yourself. Ted proved to me that you can never give up hope because one day you will find someone. As long as you don’t give up. And most important of all, Barney taught me that nothing in life is legendary, unless your friends are there to see it. I can’t wait till i have kids and get to sit down with them and watch this with them. Thank you HIMYM. I wouldn’t be the same person I am today without you.
The only thing I hate about Ted that he ended up with Robin. I hate it to my core. I loved this mother. I accepted n can re-watch this whole season 9 any time. Only for Tracy. Just she appeared for few episodes n stole our hearts. Yes she did. What Robin couldn't do in 9 years, she just did it in this. I hate shitty ending of the show. Rest, is the best. Marshall, Lily's marriage n love lessons are actual reality of our lives. They teach us something. Mostly I loved HIMYM coz of Ted, Marshall n lily n at the end coz of Tracy...
Yes. Barney has always been jerk. He couldn't resist his nature of going after someone even after ending up with Robin. That's not love. That's some bull shit thing. N doing one better job (that baby in his arms in d last season) doesn't make him a good person.
Even tho the show was never really about Tracy even Ted's Daughter kinda of said so She:(Ted and Tracy's Daughter): said something like "Mom was barely even in the Story"
I love FRIENDS and TBBT (thought TBBT is my childhood). But HIMYM will always have a special place in my heart. If only I could cut and replace the ending, though.
does anyone have a recommendation for a like-wise serie? I liked this serie so much because although it's a commedian, the feelings go really deep. I could cry almost every episode. The characters and story is very real.
Shoutout to the hotel lobby dude who paired Tracy right next door to Ted knowing ted was also struggling with finding love. Now THAT is the ultimate wingman.
This is the go to scene to have play in the background for when you're laying there awake at night and no one is up so you just kinda stare up at the sealing not knowing what to do with your life.
Needle I'm Ag but this scene is here to remind you that in a corner of this world there’s someone waiting for you and eventually destiny will leads you to him
@@carsonriehn8860 hey dude, it may be two years later but I'm here to respond. There's nothing wrong with that, and two years later this statement is still very true. Your life is valued, and you have meaning. When I wrote this I was stuck in a very abusive relationship that caused me severe mental, emotional, and on a basic level, physical trauma. I somehow recovered and am now living comfortably with a man that makes me feel worth while. Know your worth man, and I'm here to talk. God bless 💜💓
Hold me close and hold me fast This magic spell you cast This is la vie en rose When you kiss me, heaven sighs And though I close my eyes I see la vie en rose When you press me to your heart I am in a world apart A world where roses bloom And when you speak, angels sing from above Everyday words seem to turn into love songs Give your heart and soul to me And life will always be La vie en rose
The way that Ted says "that first night I ever heard her sing.. That one will always be my favorite." It brings this emotion that I can't put into words. It's haunting.
Even though they treated Tracy like a stepping stone for Ted to have kids and be with Robin but I think everyone rooted for Tracy the character was just too lovable
I think there is this Movie called 500 Days of Summer where the Protagonist,Tom,was told by his little sister "just cuz some cute girl likes the same bizarro crap as you do that doesn't make her your soul mate Tom" which might mean something like just cuz someone is basically the female/male version of you that does NOT necessarily and automatically mean that their your friggin soul mate like what tf does love has got to do with how "in/compatible" two people are?
This Is one of my favorite series of all Time, i don't khow why but the connection i feel with the characters Is amazing. And even though the 9 season was terrible in many aspects, destroying what might have been a perfect end. This scene. This specific scene always touch something deep inside me. I'll always be grateful with HIMYM for giving me a lot of lessons for my life, for giving me a lots of laughs, for making me feel that despite of the bad things there Will always be someone that Is there to support you. Thanks
I feel with you I really Love himym. Watched it like 3 times all 1-2 years. And its worth it. U know any other sitcoms which are so good like this one? (besides scrubs)
Today makes a year since my Flower passed. I loved her so much. When she found out this was my favorite show and my favorite love song, she played it for me on ukelele and piano. I miss her more and more every day. Rest well, babe. 💙
The most incredible moment to ever exist in this show. In an episode full of drama, this episode was the most melancholy thing possible, and honestly brings a year to my eye. And yet, it's so beautiful. It makes you feel so many feelings of sadness and happiness, and it makes the rest of the episode feel like a distant memory because it pulls us in and lets it sit. There's no punchline, no emotional moment. It's just the song, and Ted narrating on the moment. The best moment of the show and one of the most beautiful scenes in all of Sitcoms
they really really nailed it with getting Tracy to be the mother literally exceeding all our expectation especially since there was hype and anticipation about who she is. I'm still hella pissed at the ending!
I can't watch this without crying uncontrollably. I think it's probably too late for me to experience that great amazing wonderful love. I feel like i've used up all my amazing. I don't begrudge it. Not many of us will know that truly encompassing and heart filling love. The sort they write love stories about trying to encapture. I just am thankful that at least there's little slivers of it like this that i can at least see and feel okay for a time. I wish all of you the best in your life and love.
I just realized!!! Maybe this was the most beautiful performance of the mother singing this song because..... Wait for it It's a little sad reason But but but It sounds actually reasonable Because she sang it for Max!
