@José Leys vs Rāhu, the Moon-Grabber Vangelis is way better than Oldfield or Jarre. Vangelis is on the level of Mozart. Vangelis does everything in one take.
When I was 17, back in 1986, I was going through a bad time of my life, hard home life, mixed with the wrong crowd, a growing criminal record and getting worse by the month, etc etc etc. After 4 court appearances, the next step was child prison, Borstal. A new programme had just started to stop kids automatically being pushed into Borstal and luckily I was put on that programme, The Tracking Scheme, run by 4 extraordinary people, Steve, Nikki, Debbie and John. On one weekend away, the leader of this group took me out onto Bosham Harbour in a two man sailboat. It was bliss to actually be treated as a child that yearned some attention. After our outing, I asked to borrow the video camera to sit and film the sailboats up and down the harbour, and the same guy gave me this piece of music to listen to thinking it may go with my video I was planning. He showed me how to film whilst plugging in the sound to create a 9 minute movie. We then showed it to the others on the programme. Thank you John. You turned my life around. God bless you.
What a great story. Thanks for sharing. I can certainly relate. I left a home full of violence in northern England at 16, moved 240 miles away, and clumsily fended for myself for a couple of years, getting into drugs and bad crowds and trouble. How I didn't end up with a criminal record I will never know, but I can only think it was God looking out for me. I had a crappy little job, lived in one room in a boarding house, never had enough money for food or the electricity meter under the sink, and was desperately lonely. The first time I heard this music was in a movie theatre in Reading, Berks in (I think) 1979. It was a supporting program to the main film and showed RAF fighter pilots flying around Scotland. The music, combined with the sounds of the jets and the voices of the pilots over the radios and intercoms was mesmerizing. I didn't have the wherewithall to be a pilot, but I ended up joining the Army (infantry) in 1981 and have served ever since. 39 years now! Been married to the same awesome lady for 31 years and have two great adult sons who both graduated from college. This music holds a lot of emotion for me from back when I was a wide-eyed kid not knowing what life would hold for me.
A sad day indeed, cant imagine films like Blade Runner without that dark moody score or Chariots with its inspiring one. as you say, a true genius - a 20th century Bach.
It’s more than sad I’m crying I made a couple dedication videos to him he was a special person inside and out besides just being a great composer he was a wonderful man
REST IN PEACE MASTER VANGELIS, THANKS FOR ALL THE MUSICAL GIFT YOU LEFT US! Thanks to you, when my father introduce me to your music in a little town in Mexico I got myself transported to another universe. It was awesome not just see and read about the universe, but to actually hear it. Definitely, if the forces that rules the cosmos have a sound, they would sound like you just described in all your work. Thank you because now, in my late twenty's I still believe that universe can be understood while keeping the magic behind the process. This is music for the experience of being alive, we must keep it as an artist gift!
Ya vuela hacia las estrellas el maestro… como ellas serás eterno gracias a tu música… perdurarás más allá de la existencia de quienes hoy te lloramos… 😔🥲🙌🏻🙏🏻
@@Threadworxs The Theme from Cosmos and Alpha for me at my remembrance but this is such a tune, I'm so tempted. I've no plans on dying btw! Hope you are well also.
Dear Vangelis, I just want to let you know, whenever your soul may be ascending to, is similar to what you left to us in this world. The burning tears that I had for my late father who passed away on January 12, 2020 is the very same as of May 17, 2022. I believe many also felt the same. You spoke of love, courage, sympathy, greatness and hope like no one else could. When it was and will be difficult, you were the father; friend; light; closer to God and to nature itself for every single heart that listened to you. And for that, I really do hope that heavens exist so we/I can thank you there. All that is left is to carry the blissful smile in honor of your existence that happened once in a lifetime. May your spirit of sound never rest and echo for eternities.
I cant say it in a quiet voice so i'm gonna scream it I SEARCHED FOR THIS SONG FOR 20 YEARS. I WASN'T EVEN SURE IT WAS VANGELIS BUT I HAD A HUNCH AND RANDOMLY SEARCHING THROUGH VIDEOS I FINALLY FOUND IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS!
I was the same about 10 years ago. I heard it on the Snooker in the early 80’s. I even tried to hum it in HMV once. The staff even stopped the music in the store to help me. Then, out of the blue, on an old snooker video they said the title.
I've also been searching for this for ages. For some reason back in the 80's I knew it by the name "Soldier's Waltz"....has anyone ever heard that name attributed to this ?
@@chrischarman6479 Nope never heard about Soldiers Waltz always to the unknown man and I listened to Vangelis from mid 70's on. Opera sauvage was the record of the first track I heard. Since 80's I bought all cd's from Vangelis I could find In Holland and now I have those also downloaded on mp3 plus many many more albums on mp3 found on the internet, well I think I have 99 percent of his music now yea including bootlegs, single tracks with collaboration artist etc. still fan after all those years. Found Juno to Jupiter a couple a months ago but it is not even out officially you would say, oh yes it is I have the album in mp3 I guess it is a leak from record company that happens..
I see it differently, if i may: I see him as a tortured soul who regrets the stupidity of man and wants to re-educate Man as to what's important. He wanted desperately to redirect mankind.
😞Goodbye to a great musician that gave us music from another world. Your music will be forever in my heart. Thanks for making our lives much better. God rest your amazing soul. 💙
This musician laid the ground work for the synth-wave genre with the music he composed for the movie Blade Runner. May this legendary composer rest in peace.
News just broke out in Greece that Vangelis died at the age of 79, late night Tuesday 17th of May 2022. He will finally get the chance to meet the One that gifted him with this unearthly talent. Καλό ταξίδι Βαγγέλη... Τρισμέγιστε...
Estoy triste por su partida.un genio que nos deja a nosotros simples humanos que disfrutamos su musica y nos dimos cuenta que el no es de este mundo y solo vino a regalarnos su hermosa obra
Vangelis es sin duda uno de los genios musicales del siglo XX, un hombre que proyectó de manera muy avanzada sus composiciones a la época creada. ¡GRANDE POR SIEMPRE!
Sobran las palabras.... Su música lo dice todo....transmite bondad, humildad, ternura, espiritualidad y mucho amor, características todas de una personalidad tan carismática como San Francisco de Asís. La música de VANGELIS como siempre refleja con maestría todas esas emociones.... Grande Maestro.... Nadie como Tú... amamos tú música...
@Sean m his film soundtracks are all superb but not all of them get released meanwhile things like Beaubourg do. That's probably his most widely disliked album. I'm not keen on much of his stuff with Jon either which is what I was trying to post. See if this works any better m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-icuQ8R5bKwg.html Really outside of soundtracks the quality of his output is all over the place.
One of the VANGELIS' MASTERPIECE touched by his genius: one of his finest compositions and one of the most beautiful pieces of music you'll ever hear. Actions
So sad to hear of the death of Vangelis. He was a genius in the world of music and composed some great soundtracks. He has left a great legacy with all his musical work. A legend. RIP
Descansa en paz, maestro. Que tengas buen viaje y buena travesía, y que las notas al viento de tu música inmortal impulsen las velas de tu navío seguras hacia el infinito.
Hermosas y etéreas tus reflexiones, muy propias de una persona con verdaderos y buenos sentimientos. Nadie ofrece lo que no tiene para dar. Es una muestra de valores que afloran desde tu alma, acumulados pero relucientes y listos para obsequiar. Dios contigo y nadie contra ti.
Yo crei que era el unico que podia comprender esta musica igual a mike oldfield etc. Hasta hoy no he conocido a nadie que sepa apreciar esta joya musical
Que lamentable noticia escuchar que una leyenda ha partido, en lo personal su musica mas que revolucionar mi estilo musical me aporto y me ayudo a superar tantas luchas internas y etapas de duelo con el simple echo de cerrar los ojos en las noches y escuchar su trabajo. Lamentable su muerte pero a la vez me alegra que la comunidad le sienta un profundo respeto y aprecio hacia él y su trabajo. Descansa en paz Vangelis
Every time I feel down and like cannot cope with my life any more I listen to this track because from this music my soul feels like it has to keep pushing. ❤❤❤
El 70% del mundo no supo ni apreció lo que fue REALMENTE Vangelis. Para mi en lo personal fue uno de los MEJORES músicos de todos los tiempos. D.E.P MAESTRO...!! Dios lo tenga en la gloria eterna. Seguro que debe esar en la banda celestial. ❤❤❤❤❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
As beautiful as it is , i feel it is one of the saddest songs i have ever listened! All of the human soul pain, all human tragedy is perfectly found in this tune, except for the final part, where i feel a little relief, a warming "hand"! It always makes me cry!
Muchos no saben que Vangelis es también un gran pintor. Tuve el placer de apreciar una exposición de sus lienzos, a través de los cuales se escuchaba su música.
Vangelis un grande...se fue y nos deja el recuerdo de su música tan maravillosa...esta melodía me hace llorar cada ves que la escucho..siempre en mi corazón Vangelis...QEPD.
Rest in peace GENIUS of electronic music, people all over the world remember and love you, I'm Russian I will never forget your music EVER ... eternal memory
I love this track. It's my favorite of Vangelis, and a masterclass in minimalism and elegance. It has many layers and is both complex and simple at the same time. Masterpiece.
una lamentable perdida, la musica no sera la misma sin el. hemos sido dejados a nuestra suerte frente a esta llamada nueva musica que es solo ruido. muchas gracias por todo Maestro,
Te imaginas que ésta sea la banda sonora cuando lleguemos al " otro lado" ???? Yo,no dudo que esté al mando de los coros angelicales VANGELIS‼️🥁🥁🥁🥁 Estremece escuchar ésta maravilla‼️
Thanks for posting the complete piece. The second movement is as heartfelt as the first. As if the unknown man's lonely, painful life has ended and he can now rise up to take his place among the stars.
Merci Monsieur pour les décennies de bonheur que vous m'avez apporté. Votre musique restera pour toujours et continuera à enchanter le monde. Adieu, Vangelis 😢
Vangelis, no es especial, es espacial, de otro mundo, hermosas y precisas composiciones, el arte del sonido en todo su esplendor y majestuosidad. The BEST.
es cierto,tiene una musica muy etèrea y emocional....llega a lo profundo del alma y este tema,en especial,es como si estuviera en las montañas....es hermoso.
RIP Vangelis. Gone to add glory to that place💖 Given the scarcity of concert video of this genius, I feel so lucky to have sat in the second row at the Royal Albert Hall, to have been mesmerised by ‘Heaven and Hell’, live
Fairwell Mr. Vangelis... Thanks for your contribution to the world by your music. I'm 52 years old and You have always been present thro out my entire life... I was introduced to your music by my late father who I miss so much... God bless you.
vangelis is a sacred man his music comes right from the heaven and i dont think ever again any existence in this world would be like him!! and you made the best comment here...it literally is a cultural heritage to the next generation....
The greatest teacher and composer of film music that has ever existed on earth has passed away. I will always listen to your music and you will remain an example for all those who make your kind of music. Forever in our hearts ❤️❤️! Keep playing and composing for all of us from heaven 😭😭. Thanks Vangelis for everything you have left us.
Allí dónde estés, gracias por tu música, que la luz te siga iluminando en las composiciones tan extraordinarias que hiciste mientras estuviste aquí. Allí disfrutaran de tu música, aquí del recuerdo. Gracias por todo.
I've been sleeping with Vangelis music every single night for the past 10 years. He is a music genius! Love you Vangelis! Me he ido a dormir escuchando a Vangelis por los últimos 11 años. Es un genio musical! Me encantas Vangelis!
Essa música me espantou por sua estranha beleza, eu tinha 14, foi por volta de 1980 e fiquei impactado. Não sabia quem era o autor de tão bela obra. Encontrei! Vangelis! Nunca mais parei de escuta-lo. Grande. Indescritível! Obra da alma.
A complete musical genius since his time in Aphrodite's Child yet someone who never let fame and success overshadow him. His compositions will outlive him for many many years and we have so much to thank him for. My vinyl's and CD's cover most of his catalogue yet Heaven and Hell remains my enduring favourite closely followed by Albedo 0.39. RIP Evangelos.
I just googled Vangelis yesterday, but they hadn't gotten the word. I was pleased to read he was still alive! Then I find out today that he is not. I am sad and binging on all the songs I listened to when I was younger. How can there be a world without Vangelis in it? :(
What a gorgeous piece of work first heard this in the 80s none of my friends had heard of him i sit alone and play this most beautiful 9+ minutes and think about my hero my dad and blade runner is one of the greatest movies ever ❤
Vangelis had an amazing philosophy on music. That its a universal language that can be understood no matter what language you speak. I will take that with me through the rest of my life. He's the reason i got into making music in the first place. He was a gift. Now, he has arrived at Ithaca after a long musical adventure. Thank you for being you Vangelis. Thank you for the memories. :)
At the start of secondary school, I heard this and it broaden my musical horizons. Spiral was one of the first albums I bought, after leaving school and bought it again when cds replaced cassette tapes. Vangelis gave us so much wonderful music.
As the opening track to Portraits, I remember this song most clearly as I was falling asleep to it. My dad had brought back Conquest of Paradise from a trip to Europe, and as we investigated Vangelis' works, we favoured this one to fall asleep to. We used to put the CD in the boom box between mine and my brother's room, and drift off to that album and the imaginations it would inspire. Shine on, bright star.
I first started listening to this musical genius in May of 2020. I was in the hospital recovering from a left lung transplant. On the TV you could listen to around 20 or so music channels. This channel named chill had a song that would play about every hour in a loop of “chill” songs. The song was Fields of Coral. I had never heard anything like it. After a few times hearing it I looked him up on RU-vid and then I realized he did 2001 a Space Odyssey and Blade Runner soundtracks. I started listening to as much as I could. I was very sad when he passes because there wouldn’t be and new stuff but thank God there is a treasure trove of his music that will probably take me the rest of my life to search thru and enjoy.
