    I am 83. I have a life threatening disease.. I am concerned about the future of life on this earth. I worry about it all. But this music calms me. It makes me remember all those I have loved and who have loved me. The film also I have replayed many times. Thank you for your genius. I can go now knowing all was not in vain. With things like this there will alway be hope. God bless you all.

    This was Dads favourite piece of music so we chose to play it at his funeral. I'm not the most emotional of people and I managed not to cry at the crematorium little understanding that it would have probably done me good to do so. A few weeks later I was driving and tuned into Classic FM and this was playing. Suddenly all the emotion bubbled over and I started to weep, feeling the loss, the beauty of this music just pressed the button and I had no choice. After I while I felt much better and realised that the grief and emotion I had bottled up needed to get out, and I am now able to think of Dad, still missing him of course but without the pain. Such is the power of music.

    Driving taxis in Nairobi, reading out of Africa book, Finch hatons dancing in the sun, visiting Karen's house later climbing ngong hills to visiting Finch hatons grave. Later in the evening listening to John Barry out of Africa sound track. Makes me feel like I lived in those days. I can still smell the magic of Africa.

    I was lucky enough to visit Kenya about 30 years ago for six weeks as my husband was working there. After being picked up at the aiport we drove to where Alan was working - on the drive giraffes were lolloping on the side of the road next to us! I stayed mostly in Nairobi, but also visited the Aberdares, and spent some time on the Masai Mara in a camp. I have never forgotten the overwhelming beauty and majesty of it. It's something I wish everyone could see. Barry's music suits it so well. Happy memories.

    Dear All, I'm astonished with your comments. I've just wrote a letter to my daughter asking her to play this music my cremation and what could happen after that... No, fortunately I'm not dying, neither I have any kind of disease (to my knowledge... ) Anyway, I do feel feel confortable to know that my wish seems the same for others. I know pretty well a lot of classical music as well as movies soundtracks from distinct composers. But this one is special for me since the first time I saw the movie (had 17 years), read the book (in my twenties) written by Karen Blixen and heard the soundtrack by John Barry (lot of times) made for this movie. It is a sad music but full of hope. With a sad happiness. I just hope like as many of you did, that my daughter can have the courage to play this music in my funeral to be (hope it will take years) as some of you already did. And I also hope that my daughter stay alive for many years and rembember me, as you do with your parents, with this music and this movie. This movie and this music (John Barry) talks about love. Genuin love. Only one's that have experencied once in their life time, will know what I'm talkng about. It does not, unfortunately, happen to all. But, if you have a sun or daughter that plays this music while you're dying or after death, then, you've had experienced true love. Thank you all for sharing your experiences of true love.

    An absolutely great and beautiful piece of music, which perfectly fits the setting of the film Out of Africa. Very, very moving. With its stunning cinematography as well as the music, the film certainly deserved its Oscars, including Best Picture.

    The African landscape doesn't need to be seen to be believed, it needs to be believed in order to be seen.
