You should watch Peter Greenaway movies if you haven't yet. This song is featured in a scene in The Cook, The Thief, His wife And Her Lover and it is...quite amazing.
I struggle with depression and sometimes when I’m feeling low this song just comes and plays in my head. It almost helps me. It’s such a beautiful but for me melancholy song. It puts music to how I feel at that moment
This song is from the film "Drowning by Numbers" but has been used in various other films since. Michael Nyman famously reused it in the movie, "The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover" and it has been featured again in other films and documentaries, most notably in the documentary Man on Wire.
"The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover" is an amazing film WELL worth watching for its amazing cinematography, soundtrack, and acting. Seeing Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) as a tyrannical mob boss is HILARIOUS
It's been awhile, so forgive me, but I seem to remember the tone I interpreted this in, in the NC-17 masterpiece The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, was a kind of quietly lovesick, haunting and no doubt melancholic resignation to the impenetrability (and inevitability) of the abominable nature of humans. A sobering reality taken in stride, however wistfully. But I think maybe their intimacy was a small ray of hope amid the miasma, both sharing an uncommon humaneness in that sordid world, and both pining for some shred of connection that's now so obsolete. Could be totally wrong though; haven't seen it in years. I seem to remember the scene unfurling ruminatively with a long pan and eventually wheeling out into furtive, beautiful sadness during a contemplative smoke as the set colors change. It was maybe more or less a love theme too, in the same vein as Nino Rota but not quite the cigar. Also seem to remember it in an Alexander McQueen documentary.
This track, featured in Man on Wire and backing a montage of the WTC construction site (the first one!), is wonderful. For me, those horns really capture something about New York, I can't fully explain it but it is magical. I imagine it would have worked well in Scorcese's Taxi Driver as well.
@@egapnala65 Absolutely! Very familiar with that piece. Ambient has been my number one genre for a long time now and I've consumed a helluva lot of it. Much love for Melancholia also ❤️
I'll never forget watching that scene in the theaters. Man on Wire came out around 2008 when 9/11 still wasn't talked about or depicted much in tv or film and I don't think people really wanted to be reminded of it. And then immediately the film opens with what looks like ground zero - the mere shells of the WTC surrounded by metal and rubble. It took about 10 seconds to realize we were actually watching footage from when the towers were constructed. You could almost hear the audience breathe a sigh of relief and sink into the film. 9/11 was never mentioned. Always wondered if this was intentional.
Thank you, Michael. Your music has been had place in most of my adult life since i watched my first of Peter's films. I can hum internally with many of your compositions in those quietly beautiful moments we have in our lives. Thank you.
So pleased to rediscover this piece. I once played a CD track of it on repeat for hours and a flatmate was surprised to learn it wasn't one long piece.
This track was used very effectively for the trailer to Won't You Be My Neighbor. It had a friend I was with in the movie theatre reduced to tears. The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover is often touted as this weird, gorgeously constructed arthouse tripe with THAT shocking ending but I LIVED for Georgina's and Michael's relationship.They conveyed so much when on the screen without doing a lot of histrionics. I believe this track also played when they were showering the muck off themselves in one scene. Both that and the bathroom scene stuck with me for the colors, the actors in it, and the music. Its funny I don't remember the music hitting me so much in Drowning by Numbers.
Nice comments, the cook the thief is one of my favourite films I weep each time , she asks Michael to kiss her and make her breakfast , she begins to tell him the horror of living with her vicious husband…… Both comedic , theatrical , and heartbreakingly emotional The only other film I can compare that has the same weight is Mike Leigh’s Naked
This has been on several Greenaway's movies. On its best it was in Cook, Thief, his Wife and her Lover. In that movie it represented serenity and sanctuary after brutal incident.
this piece gave me goosebumps from the first note and just kept me there iconic and beautiful. I'm getting them now. all up and down my arms to my neck. just spellbinding
I just watched those very scenes in man on wire and damn near cried thinking the same things how hard so many people worked to build those towers how many years to actually build them and to see men scale the outside of them and walk between them just to seem them and their occupants in giant heaps of rubble as a child that fateful day never will be forgotten in my mind eye. I by no intended circumstance watched the Mr Rodgers movie trailer and heard this song and thought I just heard that somewhere and I've found it!
Que el cielo se pinte de azul es algo que a veces pasa desapercibido. Sigue el camino tornándose en curvas y piedras y más barro, y no queda opción que tomar las orientaciones de continuar y caminar y andar. Sin nada que pensar o decir. Los latidos en cajas de cartón. Recuerdos que se pierden en el olvido o que se retienen como fotografías en la memoria...instantes y momentos que náufragos siguen a flote en el mar del alma. Que desnuda están las flores cuando son arrancadas.
The prominent music is both uplifting and depressing simultaneously and continues that feeling as it builds. But what really makes this song beautiful is the ominous, background static music that comes in around a minute.
"Aquí, rodeados por las maravillas de la infinita variedad de la naturaleza, se recuerdan verdades olvidadas. Sólo somos una criatura entre miles con las que compartimos la tierra. Toda la raza humana con sus esperanza y sus miedos, sus triunfos y locuras, podría no ser más que un incidente en la historia del mundo."
This track is burned into the retinas and ear canals as the sublime collaboration with Peter Greenaway’s Drowning By Numbers, The O.G. marriage of sonics and visuals.
I can't put into words how the movie the "Won't You Be My Neighbor" touched me. I think it has to do with the source, where the deepness of the emotions it raised go : all the way to you core , to your inner self, to a place that no other than yourself can go in. In a world were all go so fast, in a society that is so individually centric. There are still some people out there that are capable of kindness behind measure, capable of showing care for others that one can barely watch, as it makes us feel uneasy. So why not try to be good and kind, at our level at our capacity. Even the smallest action / gesture can achieve great things. I really believe so.

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover bought me here. Fuck, so many emotions in just one track this is amazing.
Man On Wire brought me here. And it's a beautiful score for a beautiful film.
One of the most haunting and beautiful pieces of music ever recorded.
if you'd like to hear something similar (as far as haunting), but completely different, look up Charles Ives the Unanswered Question
Dexter Flowers
Haunting? Its almost purely a beautiful song. Perfect for the climax of the movie
I think that's what makes it an amazing piece. It could be haunting to some, lovely to other, but what is agreed upon to most is it's beautiful.
Love this piece of music, really suits Peter Greenaway's work
Also the most emotional in The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.
This song sounds like someone being heroic in the humblest way possible.
Wow, that description of this song really fits beautifully🥰💕
You should watch Peter Greenaway movies if you haven't yet. This song is featured in a scene in The Cook, The Thief, His wife And Her Lover and it is...quite amazing.
@@jasso.183It's in Drowning by Numbers

Like Mr Rogers
I hope - no nevermind.
the cook the thief the wife the butcher the baker the musicmaker. Nyman, you legend.
I struggle with depression and sometimes when I’m feeling low this song just comes and plays in my head. It almost helps me. It’s such a beautiful but for me melancholy song. It puts music to how I feel at that moment
Yeah me too. Hope you have a good day my friend.
for me is it the total oposite, i cant stand the sadness.
I feel the same.
Do you know the version with vocals, made by Jay Jay Johanson, called 'I'm older now' ?
It's also very beautiful...

brandonprows yes!
Yes, the depository scene where they're both naked after being hose-washed from dog shit
It was also in "Won't You Be My Neighbor".. Wasn't "The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover" before "Drowning By Numbers"?
"The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover" is an amazing film WELL worth watching for its amazing cinematography, soundtrack, and acting. Seeing Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) as a tyrannical mob boss is HILARIOUS
@@kimkinsey579 No. "Drowning By Numbers" preceded "The Cook, the Thief..." by a year (1988, 1989).

Are you familiar with Basinski's "Disintegration Loops" at all? Number one sounds like it could be your kind of thing.
@@egapnala65 Absolutely! Very familiar with that piece. Ambient has been my number one genre for a long time now and I've consumed a helluva lot of it. Much love for Melancholia also ❤️

This sounds like saying goodbye to someone you dearly loved and desperately trying to figure out how to move on.
Hope u r ok.
R.I.P Mr.Rogers thank you for giving your kindness to the world
Love is the root of everything. Love or the lack of it.
Thank you, Michael. Your music has been had place in most of my adult life since i watched my first of Peter's films.
I can hum internally with many of your compositions in those quietly beautiful moments we have in our lives.
Thank you.
I be farting and it be stanking
If you don’t be farting I don’t want to talk
Its also from The Cook The Thief The Wife The Lover, I think its at its best on said film.
Loop version is better also, just saying......
+Ged Rooney
I think you're right but it's hard to find this version. I'm still trying. The drowning one is a easier target.
Drowning by Numbers you twat.
thats where I heard it...thanks for that...my tortured madness to remember can now end
Most beautiful scene between a man and a woman I've ever seen... and even though they both were naked, sex wasn't even an issue...
Sometimes this composition plays in my head over and over and over and over. I don't rush to change the channel.
why does music make us feel this way?
Because music is the only drug that really helps your body and spirit without hurting any of both.
There isn't an explanation for happiness, we just kind of find it in all the corners of the world.

SO LOVELY, IT BREAKS MY HEART AND HEARTS OF PEOPLE AROUND ME! MY BRAIN COLLAPSES AND EXPLODES
Michael nyman brought me here. He is a genius.
He died by swallowing the French Revolution
The Cook the thief his wife and her lover brought me here . 10/10 for this and that lavish beautiful film
Beyond beautiful! Love this track. Will never tire of it likely
this piece gave me goosebumps from the first note and just kept me there
iconic and beautiful. I'm getting them now. all up and down my arms to my neck. just spellbinding
Love is in everything. Embrace it😊
This totally captures the emotions of watching the original towers being built, knowing their fate.
oh, Jesus - that's the worst thing I've ever heard about a bit of music - but you captured it perfectly
I just watched those very scenes in man on wire and damn near cried thinking the same things how hard so many people worked to build those towers how many years to actually build them and to see men scale the outside of them and walk between them just to seem them and their occupants in giant heaps of rubble as a child that fateful day never will be forgotten in my mind eye.

totally :,(
For me it captures the essence of the towers falling
Brought by Man on Wire. It perfectly fits there!
Peter Greenaway Michael Nyman ❤
Stunning track!
Man On Wire. Great film.

Man on Wire and McQueen brought me here. Philippe Petit and Alexander McQueen: two very different but equally outstanding and pioneering artists.
its so haunting .... love it
Incerible compliment to Peter Greenways film Cook Thief Wife and his Lover - and then reminded by MrRogers :-)
The trailer for The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover brought me here.
It also immediately reminded me "The Otherside" song from Gattaca.
Mr. Rogers brought me here.
Me too. :-D Small neighborhood.
Peter G McDermott Won't you be my neighbour.
Me too 🙌🏼
Same. Very beautiful. Any other of Nyman's pieces like this?
Me Too
Whenever I hear this piece of music, it makes we want to listen to Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode and visa versa. I love both.
I love this song
one word: beautiful
One word : fart
Incredible piece of music 🎶
such a harrowing piece of music. heard it in the cook the thief his wife and her lover.
Wow!
Heard it on Elefante Blanco and couldn't quite put my finger on where i had heard it before. Thank you, internet strangers! Man On Wire
Gracias Ramón Trecet en España se conocen estas musicas por ti

Makes me feel like i am ready to embrace my dreams in earnest and not be afraid to live the life i really want
It makes me really feel like sitting on the toilet and trying to squeeze the most monstrous dump whilst reading a book on how snails vomit ectoplasm
@@MrShutUpMr that actually is my deepest dream
Mr Rogers I will love you forever
So beautiful
Its about the impossibiltiy of of love in an impossible world. How we strive all the same.
amazing every time
Also listen to Nyman's Drowning By Number 2. Begins with the same motif but goes somewhere else with it.
Somewhere just as beautiful.
love love love
This is the music when they were washed and walk naked through the library

This makes me think of how horribly tragic human history is.
