John Barry composed many pieces and this is one of his most beautiful. Sweeping and magnificent to match the cinematography. This is my favourite version of the piece performed by the band of Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.
I have always been a reserved quiet person out of my four siblings. I’m 19 I’ve always felt different, like I didn’t belong in this generation, or just my family. When I listen to music like this, it really touches me deeply. It’s refreshing away from the modern music that’s made today. My siblings say I’m odd for listening to this type of music but they truly are missing out and I’ll never stop listening to it.
Well, you're not alone. I loved this soundtrack when I was 19. I'm 46 now. Never stopped listening to it or to John Barry in general. His James Bond soundtracks alone are magical.
We played this going in at my Dad’s funeral last month. This was one of his favorite movies. He once stayed on the reservation where the movie was filmed. After that trip it was like he was enlightened. He was always fascinated by them, talking about their way of life, collecting stuff they use, admiring their perseverance and freedom. I’ll remember him the same way ❤️❤️❤️
What a lovely memory for him, our indiginous peoples of the world can really teach us lot about life, I live in Australia, Aborigines were treated the same by Europeans when they set foot here, mainly the English.
@@DavidGreen-wp7ok Terrible movie, are you aware its the same story as The last Samari and Avatar. The plot goes like this, Evil white man goes to native lands to conquer, steal and kill. But there is 1 white man who admires the native customs, joins natives and despises his own ppl,and teaches them to fight the evil white man. It's an attempt to cause white ppl to feel shame for something they didn't do. It's what collages do to kids today, brainwashing. And these producers are not retelling this story over and over by accident. They laugh at those who say they live the film, they think we are morons who don't know what they are doing to us.
Haveing lost a pet terrior dog some two years ago,due to a tragic accident,this tune embraces our life and takes us to a peacefull place,wonderfull lament..
Good music like that must have the touch of God. The same goes to "Out of Africa". There's no other explanation for such beauty,harmony and sensitivity.
Wiggles Indians treated Kevin Costner it was amazing so loyal so loving way more than the United States government could ever do there's a special place in my heart and always will
@@rontraywick4852 Yeah, it's not just because how great the film is, it's also because it takes you back to a time when things were more simple, there was still hope in a better future, friendship and values were for real, and we had loved ones that are no longer with us. We lost much of that along the way, and now nothing is certain anymore, is that not the case? But, i feel gratitude for having been through it all. So heres to you🍺, and God Bless
'Thirteen years later, their homes destroyed, their buffalo gone, the last band of free Sioux submitted to white authority at Fort Robinson, Nebraska. The great horse culture of the plains was gone and the American frontier was soon to pass into history.' That just wrings my heart every time. There are some things you never forget and what happened to the American Indians and their culture is one of them. Thank you Kevin Costner for bringing this story to film. Words cannot express its impact and it's power, a truly magnificent story. Loved it loved it and the music....wow it was beautiful and so surreal.
+Andrew You really need to settle your mind down, Life is not about money and having things....Broaden your mind and travel a bit, learn about the world we live in. The miserable statement you made tells me that you have a mental problem, or maybe you are just a kid and do not know better.
Well its pribably obvious but, Wnd in His Jair lost his best friend. Then Good old whitey Dunbar comes into the picture. They become best friends and Wind in His Hair loses a best friend again. Painful
Sad isn't it still no respect for our native Americans who were born here first. Beautiful sounds n this movie and beautiful story of our native Americans
My grandpa just passed away, at the age of 92. I try not to cry because I know its the cycle of life. I will always miss you old man, I dedicate this song to you grandpa, and much thanks to John Barry for composing such beautiful music.
Sorry for your loss. Being 92 is a long life in this day and time. My mother passed away in March of this year and would of turned 88 in May. May both your grandpa and my mom RIP.
you won't miss him for very long , the Creator of this world will soon return and this illusion will come to an abrupt end , woe to those who didn't realize it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LqsAzlFS91A.html
This movie is so devastatingly beatiful and so profoundly sad I have not been able to watch it again. I'm listening to this on New Years eve 2021/2022 realizing we have not learned anything from history.
Played this at my darling Mum's funeral in 2019. Beautiful, plaintive and so emotional. Have only now been able to revisit this glorious piece of music. So many memories. ❤
There are people who thought this beautiful but heartbreaking movie was too long. Those people, sadly, have no soul and no empathy - and a short attention span. The soundtrack is so beautiful and I never tire of listening to it. What a brilliant composer John Barry was; he will live forever in his music.
Blame it on Michael Bay. He cuts from one scene to the next so fast you don't get to appreciate any scene or any angle, and as a result, there is nothing to appreciate. He created an entire generation of ADHD hurry-up non-fans.
This is the kind of movie you have to see a couple of times to really get it. The music is timeless. When I hear bagpipes I think of my little brother. He was the Irish one in our family. He loved anything ireland.
It's my favorite movie of all TIME! I SEARCHED LONG AND HARD for the 4 hour version (uncut) on DVD finally have it! Unbelievably accurate. I coulda sat thru 6 hours
My Dear brother under God: We are witnessing an epoch cycle of what has passed before. The nation that inhabits this promised land prospers and has peace on condition of faith and obediance to The God of This Land or is swept off when ripe in immorality. The story of two former nations inhabiting this land, their virtue their eventual extreme wickedness and finally their heartbreaking downfalls are given as a warning to us in our day. We all can read this in The Book of Mormon. "Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ, who hath been manifested by the things which we have written." -Ether 2: 12
I remember the swell of emotions after having finished this movie for the first time. My heart felt full and my mind was richer because of this movie. It’s a strange emotion I can’t put in words, but it felt like my soul was thanking me for watching this movie. I felt content and happy. 10/10 epic masterpiece.
The part where Wind in his Hair calls out to John Dunbar near the movies end always gives me goosebumps and tears. Across the valley you can hear him "I am your brother". Powerful. Beautiful.
From an Aussie who spent his youth as a 'Ringer' chasing cattle on million acre largely unfenced cattle stations in the Northern Territory of Austrlia, - The sense of untouched space and freedom comes flooding back when I hear this haunting composition. My computer knows the John Dunbar theme off by heart, and I sign off for the day by playing this piece.
Its wild how while the American frontier was happening in the 1800s so too was the Australian frontier, most Americans are ignorant and don’t even know that. Blessings
It's hard to imagine for the rest of us just how large your stations are. In my part of the world, a township is 36 sections of land (23,040 acres or 576 LSDs). My grandfather was granted a quarter section of land back in the late 1800"s and that was a big deal.
Love the film and the theme tune too. Best role Kevin ever played, imo....this has just been played on Classic fm on Father's Day, so there'll be lots of tearsvI feel..😢
As much as I hold this film dear to my heart, I have such a hard time watching it that I have to heavily prepare myself for it in advance. I am so sensitive to the history of our Native Americans, to the beauty of our lost landscape, and to the reverence of wild animals, that I am literally wrecked by the closing credits and require some time to recover. That is the mark of a good film, and Dances With Wolves surpasses that description by miles. Feeling chills just thinking about that final scene with Wind In His Hair, where he has crested the hill, sitting high up on his horse, the breeze blowing around him in a way that makes his namesake so obvious, while he shouts his message of unity and friendship with John Dunbar as he leaves. GAH, what beautiful filmmaking it was!
I also loved this movie, the music and the acting. That last scene got me too! Oh heck, I cried through the whole movie! I cried when the mules got killed!
Same with me, that last scene where the 2 soul brothers depart from the other by needs of what's coming. I cried so much, I still do every time. like you I need to the credits to remind me what we lack ever since.* souls, heaven, believes, *
Yes I'm with you, can't change the past, (the Indigenous were called Indians as early explorers from Europe thought sailing West they would hit India but a huge land mass got in the way) their amazing culture all but obliterated.Who even writes something like this..!
John Barry is a wonderful example to show how outstanding music is an indispensable part for the sucess and the quality of a movie. It also was so in "Out of Africa". Composers are so important as directors. Rember Ennio Morricone, John Williams, Hans Zimmer or Lalo Shifrin (Mission Impossible), Anton Karras (The Third Man), Henry Mancini (Pink Panther, Moon River) and so on ...
Ich bin 21 und mir geht es genauso. Das war ein wundervoller, tränenvergießender Film, welcher heute weiterhin seine Relevanz zeigt, da immernoch der gesamte Planet ausgebeutet wird
Kevin Costner, you stood on the shoulders of John Wayne and Clint Eastwood and redefined the genre. There has been nothing better in the past 24 years. Even Ken Burns would salute you.
John Dunbar Theme and Safari from Out of Africa, so obviously composed by the same man. Both beautiful movies and beautiful scores. John Barry was genius.
Every time I hear this song (for over 30 years) it brings tears to my eyes. I live in Germany. In one of the most densely populated countries on earth. Too many people - and every year there are more. When I see the expanses of South Dakota, Colorado or Montana, I feel like I'm returning home. Sometimes I think 50 years is enough. And sometimes I think we already had a previous life - otherwise I can't explain this longing
I'm 73 next month. Divorced, take care of my 42 year old son Stelio who relies on me. Live on the island of Salamina near the sea. Across from my home is an olive grove. It's quiet here. I'm grateful. I understand you.
This music creates a feeling in me that I can't describe with words. It penetrates to the deepest corners of my soul and leaves me moved to tears. Without a doubt one of the best piece of music of all time.
This movie was a credit to the Native Americans. The music beautiful. Kevin C did a fantastic job making a great movie. Having worked with the Soiux for several years I learned they are the true children of our earth. They are true lovers of Mother earth. A gentle people with a sense of humor. They are so misunderstood. They are still being mistreated.
This has got to be one of the most emotive and soul touching melodies ever written, it has the ability to transport the listener to the lonely prairie without leaving your armchair.
John Barry, Maestro Supremo! His catalog of film music is without a doubt in the upper echelon... with the greatest composers of the genre. Absolutely Sublime.
Please listen to the vibrato of the flutes, there were 3 of us, what a recording session we had, what great memories, perfect pitch by an entire orchestra playing as one, forever more, Bill
‘Second to none’ served 23 years with that fantastic regiment, unfortunately cut backs meant the loss of the military band ( Pipe band remains, as they are tank soldiers) a sad day indeed for the regiment. However the legacy of their music lives on.
This beautiful music reminds me of (our special times) in South Dakota. Only the three of us: you, your mom, and I … hold the memories in our minds and hearts of a time and a place far, far away. You were little then, but, I know those days are forever etched in your mind. My heart melts and my eyes water whenever I think of: the new blue house, snowball fights, killing a spider for you, reading colorful picture books to you, camping, you running and jumping into my arms, and on and on. There are more of us now, and, we all have had many happy and memorable times since (our special times) in South Dakota. However, thinking of those few years in that barren and cold land warms my heart greatly. Publicly talking about it is of no avail, even among friends and family; because … only three of us can remember such a time and place … far, far away. Your only dad
Dances with Wolves is one of my all time favorites. I played the theme song while driving through S Dakota yesterday with family. It was quite emotional...
This was the best movie ever. Never again can anything bring out emotions as much as Dances with Wolves did. All the actors, the music, the scenery just did it for me. I will forever feel the sorrow of the lost tribes and hope their spirits will fly on the wings of the Bald Eagle.
Years will pass, the slow flow of time, the season will alternate, the cold winters and the hot summers, the nights and the days and that unstoppable flow of life that will never cancel this infinite melody...
A gorgeous backdrop to a magnificent movie. No one can spend any time in the Native American culture and not be changed forever by its magic and wisdom and truth.
John Barry, you inspired so many people with your soundtracks. They were life inspiring, haunting, melancholic and above all else, always deeply emotional.
I was walking down a high street once. A busker started playing this tune on the trumpet. Just about everyone stopped and looked. Thankyou John Barry. Thankyou
Just attended a funeral this morning for an exceptional man . Among all the memories of him one stood out in its simplicity. He was in his seventies, but as we remember him , the comment was " He was a good lad " summed up all our thoughts. The music which was played at the going out from the Church prior to the comital was this. Couldn't have had anything more apt.
One of the greatest movies ever! I was crying like a child when Wind in his hair was screaming "do you see that i will always be your friend" to Dances with Wolves. Damn! ;)
My Dad’s song…miss you Pop Roger Dale Schuster 1942-2007 Vietnam Veteran, best helicopter pilot the sky ever saw. Trying to be half the man he was to my two girls and wife.
This piece of music has always made me somewhat sad, it brings back memories of those I miss the most, still it’s a wonderful piece with true emotion, god bless all who listen and love it.
I was watching this movie in the 90s and I was very happy. the film shown the side of the indigenous people protecting their land. Thing Hollywood hadn't done until then. Kevin Costner's brilliant acting.
WOW! I've always loved this soundtrack, but I've never heard this played on the pipes before. I literally have chills! This is definitely going on my list of music that makes the hairs on my neck stand up! Thank you for posting this!
This movie I fell in love with it really touched my heart fascinating Kevin Costner does an excellent job he's a great actor a great person got to love them I love nature I love the Indians I love the culture
