"The Gael" by scottish singer-songwriter Dougie MacLean on his 1990 album The Search. The Last of the Mohicans (1992 film) directed by Michael Mann. The best song you've ever heard
Not only my relaxing music, but war and battle music too. I've learned that this kind of music only confuses your opponent. It's calming to them, battle cry for me. Unless you have seen the whole movie, this music and reference doesn't make sense and messes them up. Love being underestimated.
I play this song every single time I feel my struggle with my addiction start pulling on me again. Which is every day. This song between struggling and trying to survive from an addicts perspective is f#(×n perfect. I can see my life relate to any and every part of the song tied with the movie. I told my 7 year old daughter and my wife that I will beat this and rejoin them one day. No matter how long or hard it gets. Thank you for reading.
Never give up. Your strength comes from deep within yourself. Replace your addictive thoughts with comforting your 7 year young daughter reading from a good book. Google "good books to read to your children". You will begin.
Love your family more than evil drugs. I am not guilty but when I discovered the dangers for many eight years ago I worked as a preacher in many soup kitchens and worked in shelters to stop the people from using them. Cold Turkey is best way to stop. Go to church and talk to a priest or pastor and ask what can I do to help so you feel like you have cleansed your path. Remember the Bible says in many verses your association is important. Go to the police and tell them all you know and do it more than once and make a difference.
When i was 14 years old I watched this movie. I fell in love with it. Now I am 42 years old. I am still listening to this music. It touches me always. Thank you who made it and Thank God.
When I was 12 I was into Warhammer. I went to a mates house for a game, with a case of miniatures, and his dad was laid over the floor of the living room watching a film drinking beer (just the 2 of them and his sister living there at the time). I heard this tune playing. As I looked at the screen he just said, in a stern sounding voice, 'Last of the Mohicans'. I knew I had to find that film after that....... As an addendum, 25 years later, this 'mate' was best man at my wedding ;)
My father calls himself The Last of the Mohicans, so this songs makes me think of him. He is the last of the original family that lives in America and on the homestead I live in now. I am 3rd generation family to live here in Minnesota Chippewa National Forest. My father is 88 and I am 58, my fathers parents and siblings have all passed, so he is the last of the Mohicans. My mother passed away in 2008 as did my sister. I have 5 siblings left, but they live in Washington state. My father is and always has been a very strong, loving and caring warrior!

"I will find you... no matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I WILL FIND YOU." Commitment, love, passion, sacrifice... what we men wouldn't do for our women!
Yeah what whould men do for their women they love and Sadly there are only 80 Mohican tribes 10 of which live in my state of Maine and another Sad thing is there are only 4.6 million Mohicans left and the Mohican Royalty are in Ohio and the Dutch Killed tens of millions of Mohican Royals,Royal Guards and Warriors in the 1500s i hope they Recover soon 😊😊
I saw this movie in the theatre when it was released. And it was a packed house, you could near a pin drop. Everyone was transfixed. Beautifully filmed, story and the actors were excellent. I recommend every one to watch it. Its a masterpiece of 90's film making! And yes, the music ,especially "The Gael" is phenomenal. Stirs the soul and makes the human spirit soar!....... A classic for all time........
Could not agree more. The day it was released here in Northern Michigan, 4of us went. It was an incredible assault on the senses. In a good way. My father is full blooded Ojibway and I grew up among my people. There’s something I’ll never be able to fully explain about being indigenous. It’s beautiful beyond words. The lives my ancestors lived, the way they loved, the way they fought, it’s remarkable. My ex brother in law was in this movie and it made it that much more special. Sure you see his fat head for a second but it was cool nonetheless lol. Live free and live in strength!
@@mpwhiteloon2316 I have the blessing to live in the immediate region it was filmed… several places near the Qualla Boundary (home to the Eastern Band of the Cherokee, although all of this region is, in fact, their home up until the removal in 1838 😢)
This is one of my favorite movies, my Grandma was half Cherokee she told me of the trial of tears, the Native Americans were so mistreated. This music is Spiritual as the people are thank you👌❤💋
My husband's brothers were actors in this film-not Mohicans but Iroquois, and proud to be a part of recording another small piece of Native American history. The last of the Mohicans is just one in series of books by James Fenimore Cooper. Well worth the read. That being said, the movie is epic in and of itself!
@@allmergf The Cayuga are the 5th of the 5 Nations in the Haudenosaunee(Iroquois) Confederation. The Mohican/Mahican are an Algonquian-speaking tribe whose territory was next to the Mohawk. The Tuscarora later became (and still are) the 6th Nation.
I was 13 years old when I saw this movie in my history class in 8th grade. I fell in love with it. About five months after that, my dad found it in vcr at a yard sale for 25 cents. My soul was happy. It's hard to explain in words but this movie is my all time favorite and this music is my all time favorite as well. Since I was young I've always said I'd love to dance to it on my wedding day, if that day were to come! I'm 21 now. The other day my sister was scrolling on guide, I see The Last of The Mohicans on a channel and I'm like ohhhh snap what! I made it on time to record it!!! So now I can watch it! After a long week, today I got the chance to lay back, and soak in this movie once again. From the bottom of my heart, Mr. Christian, I want to thank you, forever, for showing this movie in class. In ways I can't explain, it has changed me and in ways I can't explain this music speaks to my soul. I will appreciate you forever and thank you for everything you taught me. May you Rest In Peace.
aimesmumfordx I agree, this movie is my all time favorite! A true romance set in a bloody conflict. Showing that love always finds a way. One day you WILL have your first dance, and this song will be a beautiful part of what I'm sure will be a beautiful wedding! I'm glad to see someone younger appreciate this movie from my era. This movie was put together like no other.
This song is one of the most empowering things I've encountered in my almost 35 years alive. Hearing it reminds me that the fight is not over, that the warrior spirit lives on. RIP Captain Sir Tom Moore...a hero never truly dies.
To this day there isn't a Native American actor who can portray the enemy warrior like Wes Studi has in this movie and Dances with Wolves, and other movies. He's a master at getting the fearless warrior character to be real and totally believable. Russel Means also did a great job in the final battle with Wes's character "Magua". When we were kids we took turns being Magua in our little epic battles. Wasn't disappointed in the 90s still not today. The whole cast was amazing, score and screenplay. What a classic movie.
This movie and sound track tugs at your heart. We should be great full to see such an excellent film. As depicted, life is hard and fragile but our desire to live lifts us up to handle unexpected events. This movie starts out with a hunting scene, part of every day life and ends in tragedy and triumph. The cinematography was beyond phenomenal. It moved me to visit those grand forest and streams and in my mind I could visualize " The Last Native American Mohegan ". A film that we be chronicled as one of the best ever made. My heart is moved by it. Dan Cook
Who? In their right mind, would listen to this for an entire hour? The answer - Me!! It is absolutley incredible, and drips with urgency, passionate playing, a running-rhythm and the beautiful sweeping strings to fill it out. It's euphoric and creates a mentally visual masterpiece. I can literally "see" sound listening to this.
I saw it in the movie theatre in 1992 when it came out. After the movie was over, I was speechless. Still am, hard to explain. No words how the movie/music, make me feel. I only have one request, that it be played at my funeral.
I just want to know why 659 ppl went out of their way to give this a thumps down? If you didn't like it, just move on. Without any debate, it's easily one of the best movies and soundtracks of all time. Suffice to say, whoever disliked it must have something seriously wrong between their ears.
I just want to know why 5 ppl went out of their way to comment about another people's preference? If you didn't like what other people likes or not, just move on. PD: I love this music!
I remember coming out of the cinema totally stunned. The music was playing in my head constantly, in endless loop. Like this here, this is deja vu at its best. But I can never feel uplifted by it, it is endlessly beautiful, haunting and so sad. I see forever in my mind the scenery, the wooded hills, the beautiful, primeval landscape, the cliff, Uncas killed, Alice jumping into her death...everyone lost so much, son, brother, sister, all alone at the end, on top of the world. And I cry with them still, the music breaking my heart with its endless beauty. This is perfection.
So well said and beautifully so....Probably the BEST movie ever made. It encompasses all the is bad with humanity, the savagery, the brutality, the mindless wickedness as it simultaneously shows ALL the is GREAT and beautiful about humanity....Family, Love, dedication, kindness, perseverance, bravery and sorrow...
I think this is one of the best movies ever. The love story, the conflict, the dire times of colonial life and the risks made to just survive. Outstanding movie and the soundtrack is fantastic as well.
I wish they would re-release it in theatres, like Titanic. Or show it with a live orchestra like they have done for Lord of the Rings and Singing in the Rain in Toronto.
This played in a big theater for one nite at the Brooklyn Academy of Music as part of a series on Michael Mann films. I was so happy to be able to see this special film and hear this music in a huge theater
This was the last movie I watched with both my father and Grandfather while they still lived. I couldn’t have asked for a better one to have been our last together. This music has stuck with me ever since, and I have been a Hans Zimmer fan since first hearing this in the theater all those years ago. RIP Paps
this was not composed by Hans Zimmer, it was composed for the movie by Trevor Jones which he took from a piece called The Gael, which was written by Dougie MacLean in the 90s. I love Hans Zimmer's music, but he's not a part of this one.
I thought I was alone in this music traveling through every inch of me. I seen this movie as a child and this song "the gael" sample in particularly has stuck with me profoundly in life. Me and my brother both feel that it does something very special to us. He has been in jail for seven years at the time of writing this. I have been out for nearly 3 years now after being locked up in a foreign country. I use this song now as a sign of things I should look for in life. Strangely, I hear this song, or it pops up when I need guidance or direction. Me and my brother have both turned our lives around, even though he is still inside and this song just helped me make a very sound investment. It probably all sounds like jargon, but I felt like the universe reached out to me. I don't usually even comment on things online. Thank you to Douggie Maclean and Trevor Jones for this masterpiece!
This movie was filmed in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina in the small town Chimney Rock 1 hour from my home , a wonderful place to visit any time, so many beautiful water falls,a magnificent view of God's work.Sir Daniel Day Lewis was phenomenal in this film, his character surely captures the struggles in life these proud people had to endure in a changing world.
Pour ce film Daniel Day Lewis s'est complètement immergé dans la culture indienne, isolé du monde, ne mangeant que la viande qu'il avait chassé. C'est une exception ce genre d'acteur. Film magnifique musique magnifique. Vive les Amerindiens leur culture leur sagesse malgré tout ce qu'ils ont vécu et vivent encore.
While I was a Visiting Professor on a Fulbright Grant in Russia right after the breakup of the Soviet Union 1993-94, I was befriended by a Soviet Army Colonel. He said during his communist indoctrination when he was a young officer they told him there was no American literary output before Mark Twain. My initial response to this statement was that I know there were the Leather Stocking Tales, of which I knew Last of the Mohicans was the most famous. And I knew that this version of Mohicans had just been released before I left for Russia. So I went to the American Cultural Center to see if they could order a DVD of the movie so that I could review it with the Colonel, his wife, and any friends (communist or otherwise) who were interested in seeing this movie. The movie arrived and we packed the cultural center theater. I had an interpreter there to translate dialog at intervals during the movie and answer questions at the end. Needless to say, the feelings were intense. I told them the drum beat in the music represented the heart beat of life in the struggle for survival. Then I told them of my family history in the upper Hudson River Valley of Colonial America. Afterward, several of the people spoke with me, and as we spoke they could not help themselves as they wanted to touch my hands and arms. They told me I was the living representative of the people depicted in the movie. We made a cultural connection as they identified with the struggle for survival under the Mongol invasion and the communist invasion. The struggle for life creates bonds between people that no self-serving politician can break. Then they asked me if there were more American movies like Mohicans. They didn’t want the connection to end.
This is probably one of the most epic soundtracks of any movie out there. Even as a teenager in the 90s, this was in frequent rotation in my CD player. It really helped make the movie as powerful as it was.
@@joanborrelli8307 Ok, don't judge me, but even as a teenager in the 90s, a guy, that was, and remains, my favorite movie. I'm convinced Jane Seymour isn't human. Nobody can go this long and not age. Yet she does!
Twenty years ago, I used to play this sound track tape to my horse while I saddled and bridled him in the high-desert west of Utah Lake, then we'd take to the rain soaked sage brush in a good canter, him leaping the sage in stride, or following rabbit trails I put him on, the smell of sage in our nostrils. To me this sound-track is horse riding music for sure. Loved the movie when it came out. Listened to the music, even though it could make me feel a melancholy at times. My wife thought it melancholy music in fact so wasn't a fan. May have to view the movie again tonight. God rest my horse, hope his spirit comes for mine when I die and this music is playing in the background ride to the great beyond.
My heiritage from my father's great-great grandmother: a Cherokee. We are not Mohican but I can attest that "sit-for-shit" that my dad was a DUDE that offered me what I needed to grow up. I still love this movie/sound track. I am now-near 60-years of age and am proud to say that the only man that I argued with .... I lost those battles! Thumbs-up to my dad! Bad ass! Live long ... stay ALIVE! My mother & father are with me every day. Haunting? not-so. My parents were calm & problem-solvers and given my option to have any other parents, I would want my mom & dad! I was lucky, I was lucky, any harm that might have fell upon me my dad was axe ready to defend me or I was in greater trouble, fore sure.
Goosebumps - the film and the score! I saw this movie in 1992 and I have never forgotten it. Magnificent acting, scenery and historical story. Brilliant! I absolutely love the soundtrack and play it regularly. It's haunting, spiritual, love, pain and loss. It is an absolutely epic movie! I've just watched it again.
One of the best movies ever! As I listen to the song I can watch the movie all over in my head. The music is a masterpiece to be cherished and loved. The actors were so wonderful in the movie, especially Daniel Day-Lewis. The passionate kiss was the highlight of the movie. It was stirring and heartwarming and NO one took their clothes off, amazing, huh?
Since this movie was filmed mostly outside in North Carolina, not having any clothes on would invite all kinds of biting insects to feast on you!! I felt bad for all the actors who played the Indians while they were at the make-up trailers while standing in only their loincloths in the morning before they went traipsing into the woods!
@@dianepritchard1296 It wasn't the best from Daniel Day Lewis, it was OK. "In the Name of my Father" was vastly superior. Plus "My Left Foot". For which he won "best actor". It was all about the best director.
A lot of this movie was filmed in the county where I live in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in Western North Carolina and other surrounding counties. It was very exciting to have it filmed here and it is still remembered and talked about! When I took my sons to school in the mornings, we would pass by the make-up trailers where the actors were in their loin cloths and war paint...they were very fierce looking and were going to be shooting the ambush scene. This music stirs your soul and it's perfect to convey the feeling of the beauty of these mountains!!
@Laura Hudson Thanks for responding and I didn't know Daniel Day Lewis became a Christian! Praise God!! There is a reason why they call this God's Country!!
When I came back to my hometown of Asheville, NC a few of the men I dated told me about being extras in the movie. They wore uniforms and marched down Charlotte St. They loved it.
This song calls to my inner warrior when I feel weak or feel like giving up, to keep going and never give up. It connects me and grounds me to my ancestors (Native & Scottish) and to Source (All That Is) . My favorite melody of all time. Thank you for posting
If my birth last name counts, maybe why. Austin. Anai Patricia Austin. Definitely been a thought about option of changing it back. I just didn't want to do it while my stepfather was still alive. My kids are cool with that one or my mother's last name. My dead brother's name was originally Glen Kinney Austin. Paternal grandparents last names. They were first generation of Irish and Scotch Catholic immigrant parents. I've always wondered if certain countries have been made sure that I didn't go, no matter how much have wanted to go, because of how much I might just want to stay there. Countries like Ireland Scotland and Denmark. Kept away from all Nordic Scandinavian countries, but especially Ireland and Scotland. Maybe one day. I know that I shouldn't but feel like getting on a plane and going there now.
The best film I have ever seen. The music and the story touched me to the core. My family has been in this country since the early 1600's. and this is the story of all of us.
This is Not Music at All. It is Much Much more than that. This is the sound of Motivation, Sound of Struggle, Sound of Success - Love this as it helped to keep motivated & continue my struggle through tough times.
For me, every time I play this score(almost daily for 30 years), I'm immediately transported into a soul desperately longing for its love. You feel every emotion. The anguish and the longing. The uplifting moments that all of a sudden, come crashing down. The slow and repetitive steps, one foot after the other, chasing a ghost of an image that's been dangled in front of you. Every glimpse is uplifting and joyous, yet at the same time, heart-piercingly painful. You wander endlessly, clinging on to any shred of hope. Tired and exasperated, but somehow you find some shred of strength left to keep going, for what you seek is the only thing that can fill the void in your heart. The pain inside burns so intensely but it is this fire, as painful as it may be, that keeps the flame of hope alive. And so you continue to march on as the anthem of love continues to drive you up mountains and across valleys. Its beat lifts your tired feet, one after the other, and on and on it goes. The Gael is to me, that love anthem. Everytime I listen to it, it transports me to a special place. For 30 years it has continued to tug at my heart and my soul. Everytime, it's like the first. A masterpiece of a score!
Wow! It has been 30 years since Last Of the Mohicans was filmed? Time flies for sure. I was most impressed with the way you expressed your gratitude toward this arrangements and I fully understand how you can see how the story plays out in your mind. It is actually borrowed from an old Scottish limerick that women would sing when their men would march off to war. They added strings and the kettle drum. But, in the time period of the 16th or 17th century, the only instrument was a violin, which you can hear the composers here kept in, just added to it. The tune does resonate good vibes and Daniel Day Louis running through the mountain side looking for Madeline Stowe's character who had been kidnapped by the renegade party of Shoshone Indians. Love the film still and the soundtrack transports you.
I watched this movie during college, 1995-96, (25-27 yrs). I love the movie, the music touches my soul, lifts my spirits , fills my heart with hope , eyes with tears of joy. Every character is so well defined , Daniel Day Lewis, Madeleine Stowe & Russell Means touches ones heart with their performance. Not a week has gone by without listening to this track since I first watched the movie.
Excellent movie! My friend Russell Means (Chingachgook) acted in it.I miss him.Mohegan + Mahican = Mohican. Two different Nations that was used for the name Mohicans.The music is so soul-stirring!!
This is my favourite movie of all time. The action, actors, screen play and the music all fell into place. I've watched it several times and I'm always ready to watch it again.
Hawkeye, Cora Munro, Uncas, Chingachgook and Magua, in an epic tale by the genius of Fenimore Cooper will live forever. How extraordinary that Scottish music, The Gael, should also be so fitting for Native Americans. Every time I play it, it calls out to my own Celtic blood. I guess there is something primal about it that calls out to all of us.
When I was a very small boy, my daddy would read Longfellow to me. I remember the words so well; "By the shining big sea waters, by the lake called Gitchigumee". Now I am 72 and cry when I hear stuff like this. Perhaps, one day, I shall see my wonderful father again.
I just lost my daddy. 76. A marine of Vietnam. I was with him at death...I’m going to read Longfellow to my boys.. thank you for sharing. I can just picture you as a young boy and great father reading. Those were the times of hope and joy..What warm memories. I’m crying life is so great .. to feel emotion so deeply.. praying that we all awaken & lead ourselves to a higher level of consciousness WWG1WGA
Those beautiful words are fading, sadly, in our world today. I’m going to look that poem up though, maybe I can chisel an opening in my grandchildren’s’ minds. Thank you for reminding me of it.
Some of our teachers from school from years ago stay with us for our lifetimes, long after they're dead. I am thankful to those teachers who gave them their time and encouraged real learning. I hope they know we appreciated them. I think they did.
this song is so moving and so powerful that it brings tears to my eyes everytime. I was lucky enough to watch this movie in theaters when i was 18 now I'm 47.
Powerful is an understatement. Like you, after almost 30 years I still can't stop listening to it. Unlike you, I never got the chance to see the movie in theaters. Movies were a luxury for his poor college student at the time. But yes, after 30 years I too still get mesmerized by this score. It never gets old and I listen to it almost daily. So touching and so moving. You feel it all. The pain, the anguish, the longing. The short interludes of joy followed by the crushing blows. It's all there and it's a raw as it gets.
All your positives comments are great. I cannot believe such a masterpiece gives all of us the same emotional strength and sadness combined. This a running song, a workout song, a daydream song, a whatever you can imagine song. LOVE IT.
This was such a gorgeous movie!!!! The actors were absolutely stunning and beautiful!! The natural scenery was majestic and pure. And the music captured all the emotions of heroism, betrayal, courage, and love.... An absolute classic for me... HEART HEART HEART!!!
I can‘t explain, when i hear this song, i feel like the universe touch me… unglaublich … ich sah den Film schon vor ca. 20 Jahren, die Musik hat mich schon damals tief beeindruckt, ich sitze hier with tears in my eyes…
"You be strong, you survive... You stay alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I will find you!."
Great film. I first saw it in 1992. Am inspired that even after almost thirty years later, it still resonates with younger generations. Heroism is eternal and beautifully depicted in the film by this stirring music.
“Hawkeye” Nathaniel Poe, Cora Munro, Uncas, Chingahgook and Magua, thank your Mr. Cooper for writing this genuinely wonderful American tale, Hollywood selected the perfect faultless cast for the film, it’s been 27 years and I might add Madeline Stowe is the most beautiful women I have ever seen on film.
@@russellbingham5819 Speaking of, I sometimes put on repeat "The Trio" (the duel scene score from "The Good The Bad And The Ugly" which I like better than "The Ecstasy of Gold") but preface it with "Carillon" from "For A Few Dollars More". I'm a sucker for subdued string sections that build up to a satisfying epic climax. Same goes for Philip Glass' track "Runaway Horses" from the "Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters" soundtrack. I've had it on repeat for hours.
From the moment they leave camp and Duncan is taken away, the rest is cinema perfection. The score, the emotion, violence, cinematography, all of it. Incredible
Just saw this movie last night and was struck by the power of this music, so had to look it up. It complimented the film's passionate story well, giving the feeling that just beneath the surface of this life is something truly extraordinary awaiting us.
There is no talent that I am more in awe of than the ability to write music. To be able to create something so haunting, so sad, so beautiful-to be able to mix the instruments, the sounds-to be able to think this, imagine this-and move so many--no words.
This music will always stir my blood. I loved it and the movie The Last of the Mohicans the moment i saw it theater. My dad lived in upstate New York in the mountains and played with his siblings in the woods and mountains where the story is supposed to take place.
Best music and film EVER!!....And filmed about a couple minutes drive away from my sister's house, and about 20mins drive from me,...I have been to the top of the waterfall where one of the ending scenes is filmed and many other scenes as well.
Love this film & the music is so phenomenal ❤❤Love bagpipes all Scottish music brilliant .The American Indian also love the music I give these musician 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍more of these type of music love it.
Everything, yes, EVERYTHING about this film is true art. This film didn't struggle to blow my mind..i'm sure one or two others might agree. The atmosphere was built from the ground up....foundations which some film-makers might learn much from, from this film. On a personal angle, the music is absolutely terrific.
I totally agree! Sadly the actual movies are all about superheros or feature settings. Don't get me wrong..there are good movies in that genre.. but masterpieces like the last of the mohicans or gladiator will not been produced again..
Whoever wrote the music for this movie....was a genius. It was absolutely perfect...and so fitting. This is my favourite movie of all time...and I'm 71.
I watched this movie when it came out 92ish I remember i was 12 and it was the first movie that really made me feel something!! I mean I stared crying the last 25 mins and didn't stop for a long time!! Asked for the soundtrack for Xmas that year!! Learned how to play it on the cello and violin. Just something j think will stick with me!!!!
“No! You stay alive! Submit, do you hear? You're strong, you survive. You stay alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I will find you . 11 minutes of amazing Heroism
but who is going to find us and save us now??? Can we submit and not become our own distraction? Or do we jump off the cliff??? Please, O Universe give us strength.
German-Norwegian descent here. By the Gods, the Celts' music makes me weep. So beautiful. No other music touches my Teutonic heart like theirs. They could defeat me simply with music.
I was married to a man who had part hopi. He was the most wonderful man. Until death due us a part. My daughter and I still miss him so much. But the great memories how charming, and caring he was are always in our hearts, and thoughts. Native people is the most awesome people.
The music was made by Donnie McLeod in his recording studio in Scotland. And Daniel Day Lewis is Irish, as are Clannad who sang the song “ I will Find You” which I played at my partner of 17 years at his funeral
27 year and still the best soundtrack in cinema history.Masterpiece.Daniel Day-Lewis, what a gifted and talented actor but also a very humble person. He was born to play Hawkeye :)
Really one of the best songs, also the epic last fight with Magua is just epic, it catches all the feelings. Always getting goosebumps hearing that song.
This movie was incredible when I first saw it in theaters. It was years later in August of 1997, a dear friend passed away after falling from the Knife's Edge on Capital Peak in Colorado that this song took on an entirely new meaning. It represents who he was as a human being doing his best to help his fellow man. Whenever I am feeling challenged or down, this theme pulls me up by my bootstraps to hunker down and deal with whatever I am facing. I miss you dearly Derek Wayne Exstrom. RIP.
I’m the last one, I am 58 and they have all gone before me . My baby brother , my lil sister , mom, dad all gone but this song tells a story to my soul and I cry
The music score is incredible, compelling and inspiring and perfectly captures the essence of such a great motion picture that remains very relevant today with its depiction of courage, rigged individualism and sacrifice.
Only soundtrack that suits my wilderness exploration in Alaska, it just fits my emotional state while I was there. If you are trekking and get tired, playing this will give you more miles.
this continuous score of "the Gael", speaks to you on so many deep levels....passion, strength, determination, sadness, hope, drive, deep thoughtfulness, calmness, serenity...and so much more!...it can cause great fires to stir within you... that can awaken your true self and more!!
Music that touches the very depths of my inner being. Im part Cherokee and many times feel the footsteps of my ancestors as they trudged the Trail of Tears. This music enters into my Cellular structure and remains there! My heart Groans for my Native Nations. Greed, Power. Hate destroyed a Precious People
