This piece of music is one of the best things I have ever heard. The film is an absolute masterpiece and no matter how many times I see it, every time I watch it I still feel the same sense of awe that I did when I watched it the first time.
Your comment and the replies are all one of my favourite quotes from The Green Mile. John Coffey - Why Would You Do Such A Foolish Thing Paul Edgecomb - On The Day Of My Judgement When I Stand Before God And He Asks Me Why Did I Kill One Of His True Miracles, What Am I Going To Say? It Was My Job? John Coffey - You Tell God It Was The Kindess You've Done. I'm tired Boss , I'm Tired Of Been On The Road , Lonely As A Sparrow In The Rain , But Most Of All I'm Tired Of Everybody Being Ugly To Each Other. It's Like Pieces Of Glass In My Head, Can't You Understand? Paul Edgecomb -=- I Understand John. John Coffey -=- I ain't Ever Seen Me A Black And White Flickering Movie. John Coffey -=- Like Angels In Heaven " While Watching Fred Astaire and His Dance Partner Dance 🕺💃 To Cheek To Cheek (I'm In Heaven")
Rest in peace Michael Clark Duncan. You were the right pick and those of us who enjoyed your talent will never forget you. I cry every time I hear it. It makes me sad for all of us who have to meet our end, and many meet it in our view, so young and innocently. Yet it also makes me think of everyone who is in jail or was from a long time ago and how their lives ended.
Green Mile most of the people in the past deserved the death penalty. Bet you the guards never wet the sponge just like what percy did in the film after John Wayne Gacy and Ted Bundy.
Randy Jackson my point was you probably didnt know who john wayne gacy was, you looked it up on google. but anyways, Bundy got it in 1989, Gacy got lethal injection. yes of course I have watched green mile so many times and i have it on dvd. brilliant film
Tomorrow it would've been a year since my grandad passed away, and instrumental music like this, which is heartbreaking but so beautiful reminds me of him perfectly. I miss him so, so much :'(
When I was a kid, like 11 years old, this was absolutely my favourite movie of all time. I remember the day I watched it for the first time twelve years ago. I was so happy back then. I still am now but back then, this movie's existence was the centre of my happy life. Amazing how simple life can be and how much we complicate it when we grow up.
'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand?
This gives me chills and makes me tear up at the same time....that's how you know it's good music, when it causes such reactions inside and out....simply beautiful 💕
I had tears brewin during this film, what made it sadder is that Michael Clarke Dunkun had died when I finally got round to watching this film. What really sucks is that this composer also did the Shawshank Redemption and Lion King won the best soundtrack, which whilst is good, the music in Shawshank was so beautiful and uplifting as well as devastating.
Everytime I see this movie I have to turn up the 7.1 and listen to the entire credits music. Some of Newman's best work. I don't know how people can walk out of the theatre and not listen to the music. Thanks for uploading this low distortion masterpiece.
I remember seeing this movie as a kid, never really understood it cus it seemed violent and confusing because of my lack of understanding during that time. Iv recently watched this now that I have grown, and it's absolutely beautiful. This piece plays effortlessly in the movie :')
 That's right. It's not that it's hard for me to imagine someone else in his place, I can't even do it. Unfortunately, many worthy people did not receive an Oscar at one time. And Michael is without a doubt one of them. And in general, the Oscar has not been a sign of quality for a very long time.
@@rorschach4489 I think the same thing happens with the composers....In 2020 the winner was the Icelandic Hildur Gudnadottir for Joker,a soundtrack that i love but i think Thomas Newman also deserve it for 1917
Wow, quite a mature film for an 11 year old. If I could go back to being a kid, I would savor the simplicity of life and the lack of worries I once had. But now for me, at the tender age of 23, life is a different game. This movie and especially this music can help you put things in perspective a little.
The most amazing film ever, I have never known a film to touch your as much as the green mile does. Whenever I watch the film or listen to the soundtrack, I get so emotional, all of it is pure beauty.
0 dislikes, that's what I love to see. That's the sign of a movie that grabs attention at all types of lives and compares with our own unique struggles.
The beggining of this soundtrack always helps me put things back in perspective..just sit close your eyes, light one up..got and gets me through a lot of tough times..every dog has his day guys, chin up and God bless
the beginning reminds me of something but I dont know what. At the same time i feel happiness and sadness too. It´s very emotional soundtrack and movie. I feel very down when i listen it but at the same time it gives me some hope and joy. Thanks for this masterpiece
Dear Michael, Thank you for touched our lives ... i know you were loving all these people .. Thank you ... Rest In Peace .. Our hearts always be with you ...
For some of you that put your comments on here years ago, you typed exactly how I feel and we all are walking that green mile everyday and we never know when. I was unable to put anything on your comments. It would not allow me to.
the best reply ever, not only did you answer the question but also added the part, if only there were more people that would answer like you instead of the usual yes no or maybe. Thanks for uploading this, appreaciate it!
Salvatore catrini I remember when I used to listen to this every day. I read the novel and loved the heck out of the movie. I'm absolutely flooded with emotions after coming back to this.
Coming back to this after watching the film again. This is one of those films where even though I know what's going to happen I still blubber like a baby, a truly incredible film and what a performance by mr.Duncan! Tom Hanks is without doubt one of the greatest actors to ever grace our screens.
If you mean the oboe and flute part starting @ 5:35 it is track 05 'Foolishment' from the OST. Also track 09 'Condemned Man' uses the same melody but played on a piano. The tracks are different though because in the End Credits it seems to have been extended and plays in a different (higher) key of music as far as I can hear. Hope this helps you.
The death of the character, John Coffey, and his willingness and dignity in accepting it, was difficult for me to watch. The death of Michael Clarke Duncan brings that memory back and somehow magnifies the heartbreak of that scene, because we lost both the character and the gifted artist who portrayed him so brilliantly. I’ve always hated being overly emotional, but beauty does that to me. The acting, the music--everything about The Green Mile, will stay with me forever. Thank you, Mr. Duncan. You, too, were a true force of nature.
I share your views. An intrigue is this. One is to ask "overly emotional" by whose standards? And by what measure is one overly lacking? To wit, so many in this world, on this planet, discount the importance of allowing the emotional compliment within us to express. As regards men in particular, the emotional body needs expressing much, much more, the venting of which would surely foster a much healthier civilization. Indeed, a man who 'knows' himself, ay knows when and how to cry proves a most healthy man, indeed.
Yeah I agree with you guys. And although I'm too young to see The Green Mile, the film's soundtrack is very ambitious and it just makes me feel emotional and relaxed everytime I hear it.
He draws out your emotions so much more. Music for Road to Perdition, awesome. American Beauty as well. Fried Greed Tomatoes. Heard he did the music for Six Feet Under.
This piece chokes me up every time.. Just when I think the movie's over and I can pull myself together, the first few seconds just grab me and I know I'm not done just yet...
I finished the 6 books and cry my eyes out. Its so wonderful and... painful. I need this music now. All the Bad and good things in These world come together in These 6 books...
@jodonnell7 That's called "No Exceptions" it's track 36 from the soundtrack. If I'm not mistaken it plays after John cures Hal's wife Mellie of cancer as she gives John Coffey the St. Christopher necklace...."I dreamed of you, I dreamed you were wanderin' in the dark... and so was I....and found each other, we found each other in the dark...."
