It’s an unforgettable opening to a film: the title shows and the camera sweeps across the beige expanse of the Trans-Pecos in Western Texas. It’s pure Western: the desert, the lonely wanderer, the eagle. The red of the cap, the white of the clouds, and the blue of the sky. Underscoring this is the now-iconic main theme to Paris, Texas composed and performed by Ry Cooder.

How Roy Orbison and David Lynch Capture Dreams
His music always makes me feel comfortable. I think he should keep on spreading his amusing anecdotes online as long as he lives since we enjoy listening to them.
I personally don't get the hype, sure the production is really interesting but I think that's the only thing carrying it for me. I think it's decent, but I can't enjoy it outside of a party setting unlike other party music I enjoy. Sort of like judging a comedy on how funny it is watching it alone. I do think she is one of the more interesting artists in the mainstream.
I visited Hydra the summer of '68, when anyone who knew anything at all about LC knew him as a poet and novelist. I recall renting a shared room for 70 cents a night, which might partly explain its attraction for artists. Even then, there were yachts parked in the harbor. Certainly one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, with magnificent sunsets.
you are so brat
Ten years from now the public will be utterly saturated with splendid but AI generated film. I foresee a revival of Dogme 95 in the next generation of film makers.
Mean girls is so underrated.
Agreed!
I loved this! So well done!
Thanks! :)
Undertakers theme deserves a classical music award and recognition. The "feel" of the theme song is magical. That song alone grants him legendary musician status. I stand on that 100%!
Man, tysm for this vid! Especially for Mean Girls, indeed super musically interesting!
Glad you enjoyed!
@@AlbertGenower Also thank you SO much for including sheets in the script drom description, I'll be able to play it with my friend at some bratparty (she's just going to press the g# each beat)
I don't know why, I've never been into music like this. Also, that next video sounds interesting.
Fair enough! This architecture video will be the death of me lol
I don't think there were all that many driven out of concert halls by Babbitt et al because their music wasn't played all that often. If you look at what was being programmed during that period it accounted for a tiny amount of the music being scheduled for playing.
For me the soundtrack is what sends bully over the edge and makes it a classic ps2 title. You can boot up the game today never having played it before, and you’ll feel right back in those early 2000s days anyway. Bully also has some of my favorite characters from rockstar ever.
amazing soundtrack, great dissection of it :)
Thank you!
I love the Bully OST the best vibes Shawn Lee is awesome
One of my absolute favourite composers - hard to believe that the same man wrote "It's gonna rain", Different Trains, Desert Music...and Music for 18 Musicians, You Are Variations, various Counterpoint works. Mr. Reich has really evolved his art. I can't believe Steve Reich is 87 here! Wonderful interview with great questions.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
love the man
Great video! At 7:00, I see no3 in parentheses. I was wondering what that refers to?
@@johnharringtonguitar6559 There’s no 3rd in the chord (in this case the chord having no A♯)!
I do see an A# as the first note of the measure.
@@johnharringtonguitar6559 yeah I’m stupid l read it as C sharp
Oh, OK. Measures 36 through 51 are not in some versions. I’ve been studying those measures. Seems like a simple 3 note melodic motif that is modulated, then changes in the key of E.
Fascinating stuff! I can really feel your frustration that you couldn’t figure out that background noise, haha
Thanks! Yeah-it was driving me mad. There isn't anybody still alive who is not famous enough to bother answering my question lol
i love the adams family gremlins mood
Great callout about the soundtrack embodying the dichotomy of the delightful absurdity and the dark underbelly of the game. Probably my favorite game soundtrack of all time, and quite possibly the most distinct ever.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed :)
😮🎶
why does the interview have horrible droning electronic music playing loudly over the speech?
@@Clandestinemonkey Didn’t know what I was doing honestly.. my new videos don’t have background music because it’s needless.
In light of our current predicament, this line from the text of "The Desert Music" always stuck with me: "Man has survived hitherto because he was too ignorant to know how to realize his wishes. Now that he can realize them, he must either change them or perish." --William Carlos Williams
Very true. That quote reminds me of another, from the writer in Tarkovsky's Stalker. "My conscience wants vegetarianism to win over the world. And my subconscious is yearning for a piece of juicy meat. But what do I want?"
Yo this video deserves way more attention! I absolutely love the Bully soundtrack. I've made a few tracks in GarageBand just messing around and Shawn Lee's composition style in Bully has been a big influence.
Glad you enjoyed!
Anotzer radiohead song that might be inspired by jazz is sail to the moon which reminds me of skating in Central Park by Bill Evans and Jimm hall
Beautiful tune
Marvellous!
Thank you!
Danke für diesen wunderbaren, bewegenden Film.
38:52?
A little audio problem there-I said that I had heard suggestions that 94.2 was a reference to 1942 and the Wannsee Conference.
@@AlbertGenower Thank you for the clarification. Great interview by the way, it was fascinating to hear Steve Reich talk about his intentions behind his artistic choices.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed :)
what a fantastic short doc. Loved the lounging cats and pup! The mule was a nice photo as well. Don't be too hard on yourself, still glad you shared the photo's of the telephone poles...and they were interesting to look at, I had never seen Hydra telephone poles before...so thank you, now I can say I have. LOL. Cheers! Or should I say...OPA!
Aha thank you! Glad you enjoyed :)
Many thanks for the video and for the world of 1960's Greece that it brings back to my memory (I am 4 years younger than LC). I remember visiting Hydra in the early summer of 1964, the year I left Greece where I was born and raised, for the wonderful world of Berkeley, California, that was even more inspiring than the Hydra of 1960's. LC, George Johnson, Charmian Clift, were unknown then among Greeks, and I didn't find out about them till I emigrated to Canada in the 1970's, where I still live. It is too bad that LC did not engage with Greece while living there. These were the years that Greek poetry and music soared, fuelled by the country's turbulent politics and the efforts to get rid of the stifling post-WWII rightwing climate and the wounds of the civil war. Dear L:eonard, as a fellow Montrealer that I was for 20 years, I feel affection for you, but your music and poetry leave me cold. Too much introspection brings what we saw in the Hydra group, divorces and suicide and children growing up in sigle parent families, and very little impact on the society where we live. In contgrast the Ballad of Mauthausen, written by a Greek poet and playwrite amd put into music by Mikis Theodorakis, continues to stir up my 86-year old soul many decades after I heard it for the first time.
I'm glad you enjoyed. I suppose I don't agree with all you say for I love Leonard Cohen's music and poetry, but it's very interesting to hear your thoughts on his engagement with the locals and local culture. I suppose to some extent he must have done, since he learned the language in only a few months, though I guess that is the nature of expat communities. I have just listened to the Mikis Theodorakis, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Cult of personality is a blatant rip off of Led Zeppelin The Wanton Song.
I don't think they're that similar
I always wondered why I liked ping pong orchestra so much I was bopping my head back as a kid to his music
Perfect little video which encapsulates exactly what I felt having just spent 4 days there. I loved sitting at Douskos tavern imagining LC there with his friends (and you can see photos of him there on menu and inside restaurant which is still going with same name). Finding all the little places was special and made the visit very emotionally engaging…especially reading about what happened to the characters after they left the island.
Glad you enjoyed the video (and the island)!
Me being from the country I am in, my school music teacher told me I couldn't play guitar when I picked it up lefty naturally. I was 10, wasn't exposed to western rock music nor guitarists. I just accepted it. Cut to 12th grade and my cousin told me left-handed guitars are a thing, and I got one. It's been such a long and amazing journey ever since man, learning about music in general, it's made me discover and appreciate so many varieties of music, artists and communities, guitar-related or otherwise
This guy's got great hair.
A Love story... Leonard-Music-Hydra ! Oh ! and Marianne ! A Greek friend, Demetrios Maniates.
Thanks, for this interview.
Glad you enjoyed!
The day the Deadman ever leaves this earth, we have to honor him with that piano version of his theme song 💯⚱️
He be stealing his ass off, just like WCW 🤣 Can't deny he should be in the HOF though.
Good artists borrow, great artists steal :)
Very enlightening. Thanks for opening my eyes and giving me different areas and musicians to explore.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed :)
More great stuff Albert. Keep at it!!
I remember back in high school the first time I heard dark was the night. It was in a vsauce video. 'Twas changeing.
Just watched the Vsauce video-I used to love him when I was younger but haven't watched him in years. Great watch.
@@AlbertGenower Indeed. He slowed in video production. ¿As a side question: Do you like tubular bells?
great video!
Glad you enjoyed!
Good!
Thanks!
As a left-hander, I was taught how to play as a RH. I obviously don't know what benefits, if any, that I would have missed out on. My teacher was also a left-hander and often said, on a gig and or in pinch you can always use someone else guitar.
It's such a nightmare to never be able to pinch somebody else's guitar, so I suppose if you can play right-handed then why not? I tried right-handed first and just couldn't get along with it, so left-handed was really the only way personally.
@@AlbertGenower For sure! I’m actually really interested to re-learn it as a lefty, I’ll get back to you a year later and let you know!
would love the full interview
I don't have it anymore :( Most of everything is in here though.
I believe the bass playing was influenced by Serge Gainsbourg's music as well
I can totally hear that.
Bert this is incredible !! perfect questions for such an interesting man = wonderful interview !!
Woaw this song had an history before CM Punk, didn't know it. 😅
It's how I found it lol... lost my mind when he came back at SS
So he wrote for Roman Reigns
He did the music that Roman used from 2012-2021
He wrote the good Roman theme. Not the new one
