i grew up in east berlin. we've had a Datsche (small garden far away) were we spent so many joyful days together. my parents got divorced in 1991. now its 2017. i am old and preparing to sell this gardrn. only a small flame lights up this room. i'm sitting here in the dark, remembering these days, gone long time ago. and listening to this song...
Don't you worry, the world revolution is inevitable, sooner or later fairness and equality will prevail. The younger generation is studying and I have faith that by the time of my grandchildren, when i get old, it will get closer. Our struggle continues.
Goodbye lenin is one my favourite movies. This song makes me miss the love of my life. We broke up in 2012. Last spoke in 2017. Crazy but I still think about her.
This song reminds me of those summers in the past when I was a teenager... filled with depression, sadness, yet love and happiness all mixed together, feeling like time would never pass by. Now that I listen to it, I realize time has passed by too fast and it never stops. I feel so nostalgic whenever I listen to this song. Yann Tiersen is truly an amazing musician......
Even though it doesn't seem like it, life can be even more beautiful. Modern people are way too much into work. Just try to take your time, go to a forest and go on a walk. Not just for 30 minutes. Take your whole evening for it. Humans are made for nature, our dark and grey rooms aren't what we are programmed to like. Our whole existence is about appreciating life, nature, music, culture, happiness, sadness. I know life can be hard sometimes and make you think everything you do is meaningless, but try to put a meaning into everything. Do things you're passionate about, go out when it's dark and look at the night sky. There's so much to life, we just tend to forget about it. I hope you read this 10 years later and don't even need my assistance anymore. If you do need it, there you are. Life is beautiful, you just have to discover what life is
I first heard this live . Installing hardwood floors in a customers house . He decided to play us music so we can work peacefully . He played this . I stopped working because of how beautiful it sounded . Made me want to pay him for blessing my ears .. that was in 08’ I still listen to it all the time .
I watched the movie in 2004 in a cinema and was impressed very much by the script and the acting of the whole cast. Alex was a character whom everyone can develop empathy with. His endless love for his mother, his struggle to keep her alive for few months more, and his ideal and naive socialism in his mind which we see throughout and especially at the end of the movie, were admired by many people around the world. Then i visited Germany in 2007, i saw Berlin and Munich. I visited Karl Marx Allee, Die Mauer Museum, Checkpoint Charlie, TV Tower, and of course DDR Museum in east Berlin. During my whole visit, this music and various scenes from the movie came frequently into my mind. I felt myself as if i was a former east German citizen, looking into the memories of my past country, and i would never be able to return to those "tough, yet beautiful" days like Alex. This beautiful masterpiece and the movie are so powerful as art productions that they make someone who never visited Germany before felt like this. Congrats Mr. Brühl, Congrats Mr. Becker, and Congrats Mr. Tiersen.
My friend and I saw this movie a few years ago, in the summer. My grandfather was alive and when I back to home I met him in our small garden,Everything was beautiful around. When I listen to this music I always remember my home, childhood and grandfather. What a beautiful time...
I watched this film in German lesson and now I understand all emotions it gave to me. Now I can play this soundtrack and I try to reflect these emotions.
@@doitanywayz Sorry, I loved the film. In 1989/90 you could say everyday: "They write history now." And the idea, "what if you miss a full year of history is not dumb.
After a visit in Berlin, i started watching films concerning its history, and came across this wonderful film! Wow how peaceful this song makes me feel!! 😇
This film is special to me. It makes me feel so nostalgic. As a single mum I know how hard it is to raise a son and a daughter. I made mistakes but they know I love them. And they love me too. Watching this film over the years with them, I know that tears fall not only from my eyes when we hear this soulful music.
For all those people who helped me find this music, I give you a big thanks. I began the search in 2010 and the search ended today. I'm going to remember this day 'till the end of my life, 'cause today I found a masterpiece. cheers for all those people who makes songs like these rise.
the music compliments the film so well...his love of his mother and what he'd do for her happiness was so touching...i lost my mom a year ago...and even though she knew i loved her...i never really showed her...the look of love on his face in the old photo at the end of the film says it all...
one of the most uplifting if saddest films i've ever seen....right at the end...the look of love he gives his mother.......i felt tears...and its what i feel for my now dearly departed mother....
bir umudun sesi ayni zamanda da yitip gidişin... iki zit duyguyu içinde barindiran tek parça. yeri oyle özel ve hissettirdikleri oyle büyük ki. duşuncelere ve hayallere boğuyor insani... elveda lennin!
Mes années à Potsdam... Certes après la chute du mur mais avec cet arrière goût dans le fond de la gorge d'empire déchu. Tout tournait autour de "l'ostalgie" à Berlin... On reniflait les senteurs de la DDR, on chassait ses vestiges. Tout ceci dans une ambiance de désuétude extrêmement poétique et bienveillante. Cette musique illustre bien cette période.
I love this song, I watched the film a long time ago. Now I watched a Chinese drama called "Somewhere only we know" on Netflix. In one Episode this song was discussed and that's what brought me back. Very happy about this.
So beautiful... This song reminds me of the best time of my life, playing outside with my friends, having pure fun and happiness, such joy.... The time when my first crush made my stomach hurt and the mixed feelings of hate and love, depression and happiness... My (then) two best buds, playing outside the whole day, not doing our homework, and playing till Sunday midnight just in time to do our homework... The days when my best girl-friend becomes my crush and then girlfriend...
I don't know why, but everytime I listen to this song I think of my uncle, whom I never met. He was born in East Germany and died there when he was only 9 years old. He never got to know a different world. It really fills my heart with sorrow.
We watched this movie in my German class a few months ago. There were 5 of us in total, including the teacher. I especially think about the opening scene a lot and the poignant nostalgia it evokes. Even though the memory is fresh, I know I'll come back to this song years from now and remember all the evenings I spent in our little classroom, and who knows where I'll be by then? Very few songs have ever made me feel like this.
Ah, good times. I remember, when i was in Moscow, i went to the record store and saw this soundtrack. "How much?" - "~15$" - "Whaaa~, ok, i'll take it". And than i listen it on loop whole evening. Just a masterpiece.
My family grew up In East Germany and their stories and those of their friends who lost their lives, often go unnoticed for some reason. I made a real connection with this movie.
I'm from Texas but my best friend is from Germany.His parents grew up in the DDR and I deeply treasure their stories, I even got to drive a Trabant last time I went
I discovered this today while working in a coffee on my next blog post, bit depressed so it just touched a nerve.. I love it!! Thank you for the inspiration
This is music because you feel what you have to feel, what the composer wants you to feel, and if that happens, I think that you can call it music :) This is really wonderful !!
I don't know what it was, but i remember this song from something. Never seen the movie, as far as I know. But this song just hits you in the right places.
Summer of 98 for my generation.. being 15 again... Before anyone died. Before our dreams fade away. Ah the long long summer nights..where did you go? When did I grow up? Why did it have to be so fucking fast? When I die I will tell God to listen to this song so he can forgive us all, to show him how sad, short and hard our lives were.
I'd forgotten this movie... my mom had us watch it as a "German Movie Night", funny that was when I was a little kid, and I think my german has deteriorated since then
i remember me sitting in school with my class and watching 'good bye lenin' when suddenly this song came and i jumped and shouted 'THAT'S YANN FUCKING TIERSEN' and nobody knew him and i was like 'shit what happened to this world man!'
i grew up in east berlin. we've had a Datsche (small garden far away) were we spent so many joyful days together. my parents got divorced in 1991. now its 2017. i am old and preparing to sell this gardrn. only a small flame lights up this room. i'm sitting here in the dark, remembering these days, gone long time ago. and listening to this song...

Nostalgia. The worst and the most beautiful feeling in earth. Look back smiling :)
you cant change any memories. even the sweet ones. I think that's what that movie is about
damn...
*internet collective hug*
Goodbye lenin is one my favourite movies.
This song makes me miss the love of my life. We broke up in 2012. Last spoke in 2017. Crazy but I still think about her.
You are crazy
I know how it is... We are crazy I guess
i am crazy too,44 years missing, but gift to feel such deep love so long
This song reminds me of those summers in the past when I was a teenager... filled with depression, sadness, yet love and happiness all mixed together, feeling like time would never pass by. Now that I listen to it, I realize time has passed by too fast and it never stops. I feel so nostalgic whenever I listen to this song. Yann Tiersen is truly an amazing musician......
Yes, 9 year before this com...
such piece of art this song.@@Sylphou
There are some other pieces that do the same thing as well, like Moby's 18
Nostalgia: A country you often dream of, but can never return to.
DDR is no more !
@@rolandchan4465 ...for a reason.
@@rolandchan4465 And that's just as well / ...und das ist auch gut so.
i really wish life could be as beautiful as this music...
it is! just get as romantic about your life like you do for this music.. :)
Yeah...

what a movie....what a music...both breaks you inside
I very rarely cry, but when I watched this movie at school, I just couldn't stop crying... one of the saddest movies I've ever seen...

A very honest and genuine comment. I too have had very emotional responses to this piece. Never fails to touch me deeply.
this is not music , this is art
sad but yet beautiful.. this music is so nostalgic.. great choice for the movie
Ostalgie...
on reconnais un bon musicien à la force des émotions qu'il suscite lorsque l'on écoute son œuvre.
merci Mr. Yann Tiersen
10 years lol
Even for me this music reminds me of my childhood in the 70's, a wonderful period of my life.
For all those people who helped me find this music, I give you a big thanks. I began the search in 2010 and the search ended today. I'm going to remember this day 'till the end of my life, 'cause today I found a masterpiece. cheers for all those people who makes songs like these rise.
I had goosebumps from the very first note.A beautiful piece of music. You need to see the film to truly appreciate its meaning.
Świetna muzyka...aż się ciarki przechodzą.
I first heard this song in german class, when watching Good bye lenin! That was 2 years ago, and I still listen to this.
the music compliments the film so well...his love of his mother and what he'd do for her happiness was so touching...i lost my mom a year ago...and even though she knew i loved her...i never really showed her...the look of love on his face in the old photo at the end of the film says it all...
one of the most uplifting if saddest films i've ever seen....right at the end...the look of love he gives his mother.......i felt tears...and its what i feel for my now dearly departed mother....
I love it... I really do... It makes me cry, but it's a nice feeling
The end of the film "Good Bye Lenin!", with this music, is sensational. But the next music, during the credits, spoils all the sense.
Everytime i Need to cry and being alone,listen to this.Hit by a Train of Emotions
Whenever I listen to this, I get chills. Im soo happy I found this 3 years ago..
bir umudun sesi ayni zamanda da yitip gidişin... iki zit duyguyu içinde barindiran tek parça. yeri oyle özel ve hissettirdikleri oyle büyük ki. duşuncelere ve hayallere boğuyor insani...
elveda lennin!
Kübra sabah duş aldıktan sonra yatağa uzanıp pencereyi aç. hafif rüzgar bedenini sararken kollarını yukarı kaldır ve müziğe bırak kendini
I could spend all day long listening to this.
When i watch this movie i believe how motherhood is precious

I have a german exam based on this essay tomorrow and have come here to draw inspiration come on lets do this! inspire me Yann!!!!!!
Good bye my granny. I'll always think of you.
13 years already...
Then don't read the comments
Then don't complain
Wow you're so dark, you must be terrifying
But I do not give a fuck about your opinion.
Will troller elsewhere !
So we can cry if we want. Lil piece of shit.
music is love. music is life. music is everything. music is nothing. music just is. music just is. it just is.

it actually made me cry. and i didn't even know why. tears just flowed.
One of my favorite and most memorable film scores.
This is My favorite movie of all times! Simply i love it!
Ah, good times. I remember, when i was in Moscow, i went to the record store and saw this soundtrack. "How much?" - "~15$" - "Whaaa~, ok, i'll take it". And than i listen it on loop whole evening. Just a masterpiece.
Listen to about any tune by Yann Tiersen - with the same result.
My family grew up In East Germany and their stories and those of their friends who lost their lives, often go unnoticed for some reason. I made a real connection with this movie.
I'm from Texas but my best friend is from Germany.His parents grew up in the DDR and I deeply treasure their stories, I even got to drive a Trabant last time I went
This song is profoundly sad but beautiful...within its sadness it shines hope and love...if you feel it, you live.
Very great music!
Yann Tiersen: best frensh musician
Goodbye Lenin: one of the best german movies
so unglaublich dieses lied... ich könnte das stundenlang hören !!! :D
I discovered this today while working in a coffee on my next blog post, bit depressed so it just touched a nerve.. I love it!! Thank you for the inspiration
After all there is no mystery in this miracle. Great movies procuce great soundtracks. That's all.
I don't know why this song makes me cry my eyes out.
This is music because you feel what you have to feel, what the composer wants you to feel, and if that happens, I think that you can call it music :) This is really wonderful !!
i can feel evey single tear on my face, listening this.
2024. This seems to be one of the very first videos on RUclips. And I’m glad that it’s about such a wonderful song.
This is were I am now. I know that in the future I will always look back at these times whenever I hear this song.
I'm waking up to this every morning. it's beautiful.
Me too.
Je t'aime...mais pas toi l'histoire de ma vie
Quel épreuve ! dans ma douleurs j'ai entendu cette merveille Yann tiersen quel talent bravo à vous.
Most definitely.
One of my favourites.
It's a lot more different than other films I usually watch- guess it just makes you think.
Yann Tiersen est un génie. Les deux garçons adorent et réagissent à sa musique avant même la naissance.
beautiful song and the movie is even more beautiful
I cant express what Yann's music makes me feel
the best classic music i ever heard !!! this song touch soul !!!
Thank you Pandora for introducing me to this song. Everything is in slow motion and moving beautifully.
Yann ... great man
Super toller und gefühlvoller Film mit viel Tiefgang und schöner Musik. *..*
such a great movie with great soundtracks
it made me cry, reminds all the people who I loved and they arent here anymore....
ich denke der Sommer 78 muss einer der schönsten Sommer der Geschichte gewesen sein
When I listen to this music I go back past and this is touchable,....my feelings are mixed after this listening
I don't know what it was, but i remember this song from something. Never seen the movie, as far as I know. But this song just hits you in the right places.
Extraordinaire both movie and soundtrack!!!! Απλά Καταπληκτικό!!!!
BEST soundtrack so far..
Eu amo tanto essa canção! Ela significa tanto para mim sz
Como sempre Yann, fantastic!
Great movie and excellent song!
Such a wonderful music.
Love it.
Summer of 98 for my generation.. being 15 again... Before anyone died. Before our dreams fade away. Ah the long long summer nights..where did you go? When did I grow up? Why did it have to be so fucking fast? When I die I will tell God to listen to this song so he can forgive us all, to show him how sad, short and hard our lives were.
agggghhhh you're such an amazing pianist!! Perfection, flawless hnnnggg
when i'm listening to it life gets so calm and peaceful )
Thats so beautiful.
Who else gets a chill up their spine when the hear this song?
finally a version a like!!!!!omg....i have been searching for like hours!!
I'd forgotten this movie... my mom had us watch it as a "German Movie Night", funny that was when I was a little kid, and I think my german has deteriorated since then
Die Übung macht den Meister
This is so amazing, after listening to it once, I'm addicted.
It was my ringtone, when mother called to me. I miss her…
simply beautiful
i remember me sitting in school with my class and watching 'good bye lenin' when suddenly this song came and i jumped and shouted 'THAT'S YANN FUCKING TIERSEN' and nobody knew him and i was like 'shit what happened to this world man!'
Great film, I really like the music and the story :)
wunderschönes Lied!
This is Beautiful...
brilliant piece of musical art - thanks for sharing!
çok güzel bir filmdi ideolojiler arasında sıkışıp yok olma derecesine gelen bir ülke
Sehr gut gespielt! Ich gratuliere dir dazu
Toller film toller soundtrack danke yann
Çok güzel ve trajikomik bi film ya sonunda ağladım külleri Doğu Almanya da birleşik Almanya’yı görmek için saçıldı
Обожаю этот фильм и эту музыку. Ян Тирсен - гениальный композитор.
@
Sergey Potapov,Я думаю правильнее будет Тьерсен, а насчёт музыки я полностью согласен с вами
Non sapevo quanto ero felice nel 1978... Carissimi nonni, mi mancate così tanto...
i agree Yann Tiersen is one of my favourite musician
Just perfection..
such a beautiful song♥
This song describe my feelings.
