I certainly hope this music is still moving people in a hundred years, and, at the rate we're moving with A.I., you may indeed be correct about replicants!
As a person from the younger generation, never let Blade Runner die. It's a masterpiece that will never age and a message that will only become more relevant for years to come. Amazing cover, you captured the moment perfectly ❤
I've been trying to get my partners 17 year old daughter to watch the original as she's very into animé and game design. (I got the Bladerunner PC game back in the late 90's when I got my first PC). She refuses to watch it though, just says it's too old 🤦
So beautiful. Thank you for doing this. At 60, went into the Army at 17, retired at 37, still working for the USMC. 43 years now total service. But the most important thing raised a son as a single dad from the age of 6. He is now 22, chemistry degree and an Army officer. This song always makes me think now how fast time went and all my good memories are lost in time. So many things I have seen since 1963.
Thank you for your wonderful comments, and thank you for your service in the USMC. My children are also in their 20's, and it's a great pleasure to see them out there enjoying life. This music reminds us how precious life is, and also that it is precious because it is not permanent. We are our memories, and as long as we are alive, the moments are not yet lost.
So many people love to copy and emulate Vangelis, and for good reason, his music is soul searching and amazing. Its a testimony to just how great and creative the amazing genius of a man truly was. And yet.....Vangelis couldn't read or write music, but instead, he could create it in his head and feel it in his heart, as it flowed through his arms, hands and fingers to the keyboard. Many are inspired and influenced by his work, but very few could even begin to be like him. This Tears in Rain cover is excellent, by far the best I've heard on YT, and captures the depth of feeling and emotion perfectly that Vangelis was capable of. So 10 out of 10 from me! Not many can capture the Vangelis musical soul like you do.
Synth sounds 10/10, feeling and emotion whilst playing 10/10, skills 10/10. This is by far the best interpretation of this theme I've ever seen/heard. Vangelis would be very proud... thank you for this.
Many thanks!! I love hearing about goosebumps and tears! I love when these videos are found by the right people like you. Here's my Vangelis Playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLKEwScAT610GHgpJL-4B2oRz4dLp3idjK
I closed my eyes and got the timing right for Roy Batty's monologue, the dove flying away, and Gaff interrupting Decard's thoughts on what just transpired.
very nice cover of one of the most tender pieces of music ever written for such a dramatic and violent end of a life in a movie. Vangelis had that capability to create such emotional pieces.
Many thanks! I believe this was the last piece that they played at the funeral service for Vangelis, which does seem appropriate given the subject of the piece.
This is incredible. Even after watching it a few hours ago, it still send chills down my spine and chokes me up a little because you manage to capture and bring forth what makes this such an amazing piece of music. What an incredible rendition, played by someone who obviously loves and cares about Vangelis' work. And you make it seem so easy whilst all those subtleties are far from easy. It certainly makes me want to be a better and more focussed player. Thank you for this, very inspring.
This is absolutely one of the best comments I've ever gotten! Comments like this keep me going when I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. I deeply appreciate it. :)
Thanks for your comments! I used to play more guitar but was never as good at it... probably because I started later. Vangelis had the unique ability to play synthesizers with the emotion that is easier to get with other instruments like the guitar.
I finally got around to watching blade runner 2049, and the ending immediately brought me back here to listen again to your incredible rendition of this theme. Absolutely wonderful!
I've seen both this and your memories of green cover which are, in my opinion, the top two most evocative pieces Vangelis ever wrote. There are a number of covers out there but none have ever given me the goose bumps of the original ... until now. Well played sir and please ... don't stop. Thank you.
Both movies are and will be incredible classics. But for me rutgers words with vangelis' backing haunting instrumental are what makes the first movie. And goslings passing on the steps with the instrumental tribute to vangelis' genius is pure magic
Probably my favourite moment in any film, ever, music, Rutger, camera, the pigeon .....you asked me for the feedback , you nailed it. OBV you can tell that it is not original since it is not as saturated as the original which was squashed by tape in a very nice way but this is a cover after all. Absolutely gorgeous. Harmonica preset is very close, as close as you can make it on Hydra. There is no science behind that sound - raw analogue oscillators slightly detuned sharkfin saws, 2 pole filter and tons of expression. Hydra, being digital is a bit flat that way, that initial harmonica saw punch that cuts through as soon as you play the note is a little bit flat, as i said, due to the different source of sound. But absolutely close, and that ending, wow. Maybe just for fun try to make harmonica on REV 2 (not that initial patch called Vangelis lol, it has tons of square while Vangelis used saw only) and use Hydra as pad to accompany the v340. Sound design wise, harmonica patch is there, you nailed the envelope. Plus, you play it all very well.
Thanks so much for your comments! Yes; I want to work on getting the lead sound on the Rev2... The lead sound that I play on the Hydrasynth here: I always think of as the "Blade Runner Brass" patch, as it is so close to what we hear on the Blade Runner Main Titles. Do you think on the Rev2 it is best program this with the saw/triangle mix oscillator?? Any High Pass Filter? What is your favorite instrument for that sound? Deckard's Dream? Thanks so much!
This is just fantastic! Best cover ever! I always loved the music of Vangelis and always will. The most magic part of this melody in my opinion is that cord at 2:52
Thanks so much for your comments! I love hearing which parts are peoples favorite, and it's interesting to notice that, of the handful of people who have pointed to a favorite time, all are different! Music is so personal.
This was just simply stunning! The emotion that you convey through your playing brings shivers to the spine, in that way that only music can do! I swear that if I hadn't had known, and someone played this for me, I wouldn't honestly believe I was listening to the original by Vangelis himself!
Lol I just had a serious moment watching that. Playing that live looked like poetry in motion, just like Bladerunnner. I didn't even know a track like that could be played live by one man, I thought Vangelis would have just mulitracked different parts from different synths. Wow that's really Impressive bravo!
Thank you very much! If you watch my covers, you know that I try to play everything live if I can, but sometimes I can't. A couple of my Vangelis covers are "Live Covers," and a couple are like "Live Duets with myself." On this one, I play all the CS-80 Brass, CS-80 Flute, and Fender Rhodes parts live. I also play most of the strings and some of the bass live. I overdubbed some parts: for example, a simple high string part in the middle and some of the more subtle bass parts. I agree that Vangelis overdubbed various parts, such as a lot of his strings. His Roland VP-330 string machine did not have a sustain pedal, and so it would have been difficult to do certain string parts along with the other parts that he was playing. Thanks again!
@@TaurusTarkus To me that is pure alchemy , I can just about tweak the cutoff and another parameter or two on ONE of my synths at a time whilst recording into DAW so seeing this 👆 blew my mind, as I said it was like watching Bladerunner itself. epic
The Maestro would be / is proud! Taking on the chore of figuring out the synth settings can be daunting. I remember turning my friends on to Vangelis in the seventies and eighties. 👏
Thank you very much for your comments! As a young keyboard player in the eighties, the world of Vangelis seemed completely magical and out of touch from other artists.
I subscribed to channel after 10 seconds listening to this. Brings back a great moment in cinema. I must have seen this film probably 30 times on its original release even though the critics dismissed it - I'd never seen anything like it & don;t think I have since.
Have watched both movies over 25-30 times as well, usually at some ungodly hour of the night, always sit up wide awake to hear the last scene with this incredible track. It led me here to listen to this piece of NmMAGIC!! Thank you mr taurus
Oh wow, totally gobsmacked here 😮 You totally nailed it and captured the poignancy with all heart and soul... Why doesn't this video have the views it deserves...
Wow; you're an amazing musician! I once did some pedal work with my Hammond on a live recording of Hoedown, but I don't have a video of it. It gives me an idea of how difficult it can be. Some of your pedal work must give your core a real workout. I've done a couple covers that show the pipe organ on the Yamaha Montage (God of Our Fathers and Promenade from Pictures at an Exhibition). Keep up the great work.
Thanks. I think I sweat more than most, and that gives me more control and a better feel. As I mention in one of my Making Of videos, the ribbon controller that Yamaha used on the GX-1 and CS-80 has a wonderful feel.
@@TaurusTarkus on first reading my old brain interpreted the sweating more than most as the source of your more control and better feel and not the cloth. 😂Like many on a certain level I yearn for the landmark synths, but your work on these modern very attainable synths amply show there is little rational justification to pay much more than those you use. Have you done much with voice mods in the 2.0 hydrasynth firmware?
Yes; I didn't phrase that too well. The little pieces of synthetic fiber remove the friction that I usually feel with the HydraSynth ribbon controller. I bought a long strip of ribbon that I'm trying to figure out how to attach in a more permanent way. If you by voice mods, you mean the Voice Component Modulation template that Creative Spiral did, yes, I made a whole mess of copies of that and now start with those most of the time. However... my HydraSynth has been in the shop for the last couple months. I accidentally spilled a little green tea into it, which damaged the polyphonic aftertouch on several keys toward the middle. It didn't take much. So that's a little heartbreaking and expensive, although they tell me that it's fixable. I took it to Three Wave Music near New York, and ASM made them ship it to California for them to work on. One of my worst mistakes. @@klstay
Let me just say this is just AWESOME!!! I haven't heard anyone who comes close to playing like Vangelis styled Blade Runner Rain before. You sir are a master it is so nice to watch you play each synth really soothing to hear this track live! You have nailed it and better Bravo! Thank you!!!
Thanks so much! I have noticed that RUclips promotes the videos that get the most comments, not the most likes. So although I love getting likes, your comments mean far more!
Many thanks! Yes, I love it too. It was possibly the most enjoyable cover that I've worked on. It wasn't a difficult as many, and the music is glorious.
I remember listening to it for the first time watching Blade Runner. I cried. And I cried again listening to the "cover" made by Hans Zimmer in the 2049 ending. Great song!
Yes; the scene where Deckard "retires" Zhora brings me to tears, as well as the wonderful Tears in Rain music... and Memories of Green, La Petite Fille de la Mer, etc... Vangelis was brilliant at tapping into our emotions.
Thank you very much indeed for your kind comments! I loved visiting London a few years ago when my daughter was studying there and plan to visit more of your wonderful country in the next few years.
@@TaurusTarkus I'm new to the synth world, I have been playing guitar for some years and only recently I have been fascinated by synths. I do not know how to play keyboards/piano but I will definitely try to learn it and how to shape the sounds with the synths. I really like your covers and video. Thank you for replying to my comment and have a good day!
@@mattiasignorile2920 You can have a great deal of fun learning synthesis even without training. There are many great instructional videos available on RUclips. Best wishes!
Thanks! Please note that this is not completely live. If you watch my covers, you know that I try to play everything live if I can, but sometimes I can't. A couple of my Vangelis covers are "Live Covers," and a couple are like "Live Duets with myself." On this one, I play all the CS-80 Brass, CS-80 Flute, and Fender Rhodes parts live. I also play most of the strings and some of the bass live. I overdubbed some parts: for example, a simple high string part in the middle and some of the more subtle bass parts.
I live far from you (in the northwest of Spain), but I think I felt the same when I saw Blade Runner and listened the music by Vangelis for the first time. I think only Vangelis could have made a better performance. Thank you for your amazing job. I'm just a begginner with keyboards, but I'll try to emulate this piece with my Korg Kronos and Arturia, because maybe it's my favourite instrumental creation.
Thank you for your kind words! It is indeed beautiful music. The Kronos and Arturia should make a great pair for you. In addition to my other Vangelis covers, I hope you check out my video of our wonderful trip to Spain from two years ago. Unfortunately we didn't get to your region. Bilbao, etc.. sounds wonderful.
@@TaurusTarkus Thank you for your answer. I wish I lived in your city / town / village to learn from you. As to Spain, like in any other country, there are so much to see out of the big cities. If you return someday to Spain, I suggest Santiago de Compostela. It´s not my town, but i'ts near. Anyway, you made a nice video about your Spanish trip.All the best
@@Ondulante We have a friend who hiked the last few days of the Camino de Santiago and talked about it. The pictures of the cathedral in particular look very beautiful!
In a hundred years this song will bring a tear to a replicants eyes.
I certainly hope this music is still moving people in a hundred years, and, at the rate we're moving with A.I., you may indeed be correct about replicants!
As a person from the younger generation, never let Blade Runner die. It's a masterpiece that will never age and a message that will only become more relevant for years to come. Amazing cover, you captured the moment perfectly ❤
Thanks for your wonderful comments! I'm glad some younger people are finding this music.
I'm watching both films tomorrow. Even got a bottle of Black in to drink. Blade Runner will never die

This video should be 24 millions views already. I dont understand people.
Haha... Your words are the best way to get it to more people, so I thank you for each comment!

Thanks for the great comment!
Tears are mine, now. So many memories, feelings and thoughs. Perfect performance.
Thank you for such beautiful comments. I hope you enjoy my other Vangelis covers as well.

Thank you so much!

Thanks for your comments. Yes; Vangelis had a brilliant ability to tap into our deepest emotions.
this song always attracts beautiful people
Beautiful music brings out the best in people.
OUTSTANDING! Rutger will smiling down in that crooked 'Roy Batty' manner. THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE.
Many thanks for your excellent comments! It's fun to think about Rutger hearing this.
Absolutely beautiful. Vangelis would be proud. Love it.
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy my other Vangelis covers as well.
This performance was so good that I almost felt like piece of Vangalis is alive and still with us. Thank you for that moment!
Thanks for such a beautiful comment!
I have no words.......blade runner in my heart and memory
Thanks for your comments!
Beautiful tribute to Vangelis 👏👏👏👏🎵❤️
Many thanks! I believe this was the last piece that they played at the funeral service for Vangelis, which does seem appropriate given the subject of the piece.
That was amazing! When my son was just a baby, I used to rock him to sleep with this song. Now he is grown up and has his own babies.
Thanks for your beautiful comments! It's comforting music. I should have tried it with my kids, who are also now grown.
Wow. That’s beautiful.
Beautiful, the maestro himself is looking down with approval.
I appreciate your other Vangelis renditions, I'm craving for more.
I truly appreciate your kind comments! I hope you enjoy the rest of the channel. I wish the Vangelis covers did not take me so long!

Many thanks!
And Vangelis' legacy and inspiration continue after his passing...beautiful work, simply beautiful
Many thanks.
This is absolutely amazing, one of my favorite movie scores.
RIP Vangelis 🎶
Many thanks!
From the very first note it was spot on. It brought be straight to the rental-VHS my dad brought home back in the late 80s.
Many thanks for your great comments! I love how music can take us back.
I'm more of a guitarist but it is so nice to see (hear) this extraordinary music being played live on these synthesizers. Absolutely stunning.

Thanks for your comments! I hope you enjoy my other Vangelis covers as well. I wish he could have seen them.
I finally got around to watching blade runner 2049, and the ending immediately brought me back here to listen again to your incredible rendition of this theme. Absolutely wonderful!
Thanks so much! That is the best scene! It was wise to revisit the music at that spot.
A truly masterpiece. ❤ Thanks for performing this w so much love.
You brought peace to my soul and tears to my replicant eyes. 😢

A lovely rendition - and spot on. This was such a sad yet poignant part of the movie, still gives me goosebumps!
Thanks so much! My favorite comments are when people mention goosebumps! It's what I love most about my favorite music.
@@TaurusTarkus ❤
I doubt even Vangelis plays it through complete as you do. Amazing
Thanks! Vangelis improvised a lot and then did a lot of overdubbing, which allowed him to work much, much faster! I work very slowly.
excellent taste in the execution and programming of sounds and automations... the best cover of this song heard
Thank you for your kind comments!

It didn't take much. So that's a little heartbreaking and expensive, although they tell me that it's fixable. I took it to Three Wave Music near New York, and ASM made them ship it to California for them to work on. One of my worst mistakes. @@klstay
Unbelievable, sir! I’m crying already!
Many thanks for the great comments! I hope you enjoy my other Vangelis covers as well.
Let me just say this is just AWESOME!!! I haven't heard anyone who comes close to playing like Vangelis styled Blade Runner Rain before. You sir are a master it is so nice to watch you play each synth really soothing to hear this track live! You have nailed it and better Bravo! Thank you!!!
I deeply appreciate your very kind words! You give me motivation to keep working on his challenging and wonderful music.
Utterly awesome ❤
Thanks so much!
great rig. great performance.
Many thanks!
May I give you 1000 likes? Very gentle.The right approach.
Thanks so much! I have noticed that RUclips promotes the videos that get the most comments, not the most likes. So although I love getting likes, your comments mean far more!
Fabulous rendition. I never tire of this track. Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks! Yes, I love it too. It was possibly the most enjoyable cover that I've worked on. It wasn't a difficult as many, and the music is glorious.
Thank you for doing this correctly-sound design and artistic nuance is excellent.
Thanks for your comments! It's gratifying to know that people appreciate the effort.
I remember listening to it for the first time watching Blade Runner. I cried. And I cried again listening to the "cover" made by Hans Zimmer in the 2049 ending. Great song!
Yes; the scene where Deckard "retires" Zhora brings me to tears, as well as the wonderful Tears in Rain music... and Memories of Green, La Petite Fille de la Mer, etc... Vangelis was brilliant at tapping into our emotions.
Mr Taurus Tarkus ... magnificent rendition of this mesmerising music. Thank you very much.
Many thanks for your comments!
What an amazing cover !! 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
As good as the original from the Synth Master himself 😃😃
True respect !
Your comments mean a great deal to me and keep me motivated. Please check out my other Vangelis covers. Thanks so much!
That's tough! Congrats one the best tears in rain re-creation out there! What a tribute time the man!
Many thanks! He is missed.
One word my fellow composer............Excellence !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! Although I hasten to say that I did not have any part in composing this wonderful piece.
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks!
This music has the ability to make me cry
You are definitely not alone.
Taurus Tarkus Synth sounds 10/10 ~ truley amazing intrepretation ; terrific thorough thrilling thriving tops tranquil transformative transforming trusting truthful , well done you nailed it 💅🎹😃 Graham , England UK.
Thank you very much indeed for your kind comments! I loved visiting London a few years ago when my daughter was studying there and plan to visit more of your wonderful country in the next few years.
Ho wow, amazing intrepretation, this piece is one of the most beautiful music ever created, thank you for keeping Vangelis alive
Many thanks!
No other quote/piece of soundtrack moves me as much as this, except maybe Gut's theme/Bonfire of Dreams
I'll have to check that out.
Perfect👍👍👍
Thank you for your comments!
All that music was not lost like tears in the rain....time to die.............Thank you that was amazing.
Thanks for the great comments!
Masterpiece 👏👏👏
Many thanks!
You totally nailed it and captured the poignancy with all heart and soul. Bravo...
Thank you so much for your kind comments!
Be proud to do what you do !
Magnificent is an understatement thank you !
Thanks so much for your comments! I wish I had started making videos earlier; I find it much more satisfying than playing live.
Tears in Rain is one of my favorite pieces of music ever, you played it so well and I love your synths
Thanks. Although I've been loving synthesizers most of the life, I never thought I'd be able to have such a nice setup.
@@TaurusTarkus I'm new to the synth world, I have been playing guitar for some years and only recently I have been fascinated by synths. I do not know how to play keyboards/piano but I will definitely try to learn it and how to shape the sounds with the synths. I really like your covers and video. Thank you for replying to my comment and have a good day!
@@mattiasignorile2920 You can have a great deal of fun learning synthesis even without training. There are many great instructional videos available on RUclips. Best wishes!
So Memorable. Empowering.
I really appreciate your comments! Thank you.
The best performance I ever see. Amazing. Greetings from Brazil
Thanks so much! My sister-in-law is from Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte).
omg....r u Vangelis ?!?! gratz, absolutely beautiful and perfect !!!
Thank you very much for your comments!
Incredible! Fascinating that all that sound can be produced using only two hands! Well done
Thanks! Please note that this is not completely live. If you watch my covers, you know that I try to play everything live if I can, but sometimes I can't. A couple of my Vangelis covers are "Live Covers," and a couple are like "Live Duets with myself." On this one, I play all the CS-80 Brass, CS-80 Flute, and Fender Rhodes parts live. I also play most of the strings and some of the bass live. I overdubbed some parts: for example, a simple high string part in the middle and some of the more subtle bass parts.
Congratulations, very good job.
Many thanks!
Simply fantastic!
Thanks so much!
Well done!
Many thanks!
I live far from you (in the northwest of Spain), but I think I felt the same when I saw Blade Runner and listened the music by Vangelis for the first time. I think only Vangelis could have made a better performance. Thank you for your amazing job. I'm just a begginner with keyboards, but I'll try to emulate this piece with my Korg Kronos and Arturia, because maybe it's my favourite instrumental creation.
Thank you for your kind words! It is indeed beautiful music. The Kronos and Arturia should make a great pair for you. In addition to my other Vangelis covers, I hope you check out my video of our wonderful trip to Spain from two years ago. Unfortunately we didn't get to your region. Bilbao, etc.. sounds wonderful.
@@TaurusTarkus Thank you for your answer. I wish I lived in your city / town / village to learn from you. As to Spain, like in any other country, there are so much to see out of the big cities. If you return someday to Spain, I suggest Santiago de Compostela. It´s not my town, but i'ts near. Anyway, you made a nice video about your Spanish trip.All the best
@@Ondulante We have a friend who hiked the last few days of the Camino de Santiago and talked about it. The pictures of the cathedral in particular look very beautiful!
@@TaurusTarkus Maybe too many people nowadays, but it's quieter in autumn or winter.
@@Ondulante In a few years when I retire, I plan to never travel in the summer again! Less crowds, less heat and cheaper flights.
Awesome cover.
Many thanks.
Just awesome!
Many thanks!
Amazing. Thank you
Many thanks!
