I wished i watched this close to my death, so i wouldn't miss it during my entire life.... Best show ever. Superior to game of thrones( the good seasons)
Thank you, i was also thinking of to mention that. It's wierd why it was attributed to a different composer when its the world wide famous classical piece.
When I saw this episode of MM, and this piece of music, with Betty coming down the stairs, I have to say it was magical, at that point in the series I said this has become Art! I miss it!
That scene was a real love/hate thing for me. Sublime soundtrack, and what looked like Don finally realising what he had; how lucky he was, but reverting into the same old philandering, dishonest narcissist we had already seen up to that point.
@@Teeb2023 How old are you? This is relevant. I came at the end of Mad Men generation just as Baby Boomer generation started. I was discussing this with a woman recently and she was appalled by Don's treatment of Betty. But Betty and Don are really not suited for each other. By my estimations they married in their mid 20's in mid 1950's. Don is the product of his own personal saga but he is also a child of the Depression with that followed by WW2 and then Korean War which many men of that generation were forced to serve. I think many people in this age group & the one before had a rough road. They hoped that settling down and stability would make their lives perfect. But they were still cursed with the feeling that there was much more that they were missing out on. Don tells Rachel in the first season, 'the reason why I live like there is no tomorrow is there is no tomorrow'. Both existential and nihilistic. It seems for Don, Betty isn't enough. She is extremely insecure and as her shrink notes she's filled with childish jealousy and emotions. If you took away Betty's looks you find a very unattractive person. I was reading someone said Don's perfect woman in the series was Rachel. They were alike in many ways. Unfortunately Don outgrew Betty and he probably was looking for in women, in all the women, was the woman he never knew, his mother. Personally, I thought Faye Miller was the perfect woman for Don. It worked until Megan come along. Never quite understood Megan, except she was for Don, 'a do over' and youth is very seductive. It's an elixir for those who are or becoming weary of life. It restores them to a better time.
The music in the credits of Mad Men gives me such a nostalgic feeling for a time I wasn't even alive. A nostalgia for a time that never was. Like the carousel of memories in the previous episode. It expresses the ambivalent loneliness of the human condition, the impermanence of life, of all connection, and yet the poignant beauty of it. All the people we love, the places we were happy - all are passing away, all will become lost, just as we are. And yet... they are beautiful in their impermanence. I would always rather love fully and whole heartedly, than close myself off out of fear of loss like Don Draper does. Mad Men is such a deep show. Such a moving character study. Don Draper is such a flawed person, yet I empathise with him so much. And yet he's so different from me in so many ways. I would never cheat on my partner, for example. But I understand what drives him to cheat, the tragedy of how he sabotages the loves in his life, and loses them, in an avoidable way. One of those shows that really helps you understand the human condition.
Haven’t listened to this since my Thumbellina died June 20, 2018. She was a magnificent cat, and I miss her every day. It is Wednesday November 28, 2018 at 7:17 pm. Have a nice evening.
I had a cassette tape, (remember those), given to me by my sister when she got back from a trip to the Soviet Union. Yeah, way back then. It was from a record label called Melodiya, which I think was the ONLY record label in the "workers paradise". It had a track with this song, sung by a Russian tenor who's name wasn't anywhere on the label of the tape or case. He was really, really good. I wish I could find that recording now. I'll never forget it.
Sang the choral version of this song one time, but I think it's far more beautiful as an instrumental piece. Carbonara's version is so beautiful it makes me want to cry.
This is a seductive and exotic piece by Rimsky-Korsakov. I first remember listening to it in a made-for-tv film made and set in Egypt. The "Death of the Nile" movie was an Agatha Christie story with Hercules Poirot. Since then, this "Song of India", otherwise known as "Song of the Indian Guest", has spelled an Arabic or Eastern piece of impossibly dreamlike haunting. Its lush arrangement in the Season 2, Episode 1 of Mad Men has done it justice. Listen to it and learn it. You will not forget it anytime soon.
margaret which "death on the Nile"? the Poirot with David Suchet or the 1970-80's movie? im not sure if i saw the actual movie. and honestly, after David Suchet's Poirot, its hard to watch anyone else attempt that role!
Nino Rota, of Godfather fame, wrote the score for "Death On The Nile" that you are referring to. You're right, the tune for that score had the flavor of this one. I thought that score sounded like a fusion of Prokofiev and Rimsky-Korsakov. The orientalism that was so popular with Russian composers comes through in both these pieces.
I've known of this piece for many many years, had it on vinyl was given it along with many other classical records by my neighbour as a child, I thought it was haunting back then, when they used it for mad men and this arrangement I was like how perfect, mad men was the best piece of television art ever
When it was used to background a romantic Valentine’s Day scene between the handsome Don Draper and his once-model (first) wife Betty, I felt like I was hearing this music for the first time/for all of my younger life. I think instrumental versions of this aria from the Rimsky-Korsakov opera Sadko must have been used, a lot, in the ‘50s and into the ‘60s to typify splendour and opulent beauty. A good piece to typify the seductiveness of the series, and advertising, I think.
RyanPeterson also at the season 2 episode 11 Jet Set where Don heads for the bar before meeting Joy, but its really low on sound just in the background...
My cat Thumbellina is having her ups and downs. Drinking and tinkling. Eating- not so much. Sleeping a lot. Resting. God bless you, baby girl. Love, Mummy
In the Mad Men episode -- "For Those Who Think Young" -- Don Draper watches on as his elegant (first) wife Betty descends a stairway in the Savoy Hotel in slow motion. The Season 2, Episode 1 piece later belies this segment of seductive beauty when they move into a hotel room where Don is unable to sustain his erection as he and Betty Draper attempt to make love. She further emasculates him when he then calls Room Service and she takes the phone away from him to make a more appetizing selection. The meaning is clear -- Don is losing his grip on the seduction of his own wife.
margaret uuum... no! I JUST watched it... HE gave her the phone and told her to order herself. if Don didnt spend all of his free time cheating left and right on his beautiful and honestly starved for love, attention and SEX wife, he MIGHT have gotten hard... on the one special day!
They also switched sides of the bed, with Betty on the right side and Don on the left, opposite of where they lay in the Draper home. The interesting part about that particular little switch is that they did it in post-production! They had already shot the scene with Don on the right side, and they realized they should have switched the positions. It was too expensive to re-shoot so they merely flipped the negative! If you watch the scene, Betty is wearing her wedding ring on her right hand.
Shamelessly getting credit for the music by Rimsky-Korsakov Here is original aria, performed by Sergey Lemeshev, whoever understands Russian is getting extra delight - ruclips.net/video/W1Pg2zlaar0/видео.html
This show is the pinnacle of taste in television.
It was wasn't it?...I still miss it!
Yeah it was a great series.
I wished i watched this close to my death, so i wouldn't miss it during my entire life....
Best show ever. Superior to game of thrones( the good seasons)
So tasty
💯
for those who care, this is a piece called 'Song Of the Indian Guest' from Rimsky-Korsakov's opera 'Sadko'
Thank you, i was also thinking of to mention that. It's wierd why it was attributed to a different composer when its the world wide famous classical piece.

I agree.
It was when I knew this is what I would walk down the aisle to.
Me too. This is one of my absolute favorite moments in the show. I love Betty and Don together.
That scene was a real love/hate thing for me. Sublime soundtrack, and what looked like Don finally realising what he had; how lucky he was, but reverting into the same old philandering, dishonest narcissist we had already seen up to that point.

I so wish this arrangement was on spotify!
me too!!
this is one of my favourite pieces of music I’ve ever heard and I wish it was on Spotify as well!
Oh my God...this was one of my favorite scenes of MM all time. Just WOW.
Season 2. Such simpler times.
I saw this comment just after I watched the episode it was in. Now I've finished the show and god damn do I get it now.
Not sure I agree they were "simpler" times. Carousel will make you think they were.
@Eder - It was not simpler times for everyone. But I understand your perspective.
@@seijiikari9395 i get it now lol just watched season 5 and makes me think season 2 was so simpler
@@rohithkumarsp Just started season 2, why you guys say it was simpler times?
This song is the epitome of sweetness and tenderness.
A beautiful arrangement from one of the most artfully crafted shows on television.

no joke, this is how it sounds to fall into comfort with the one you love.

Havent heard this piece of music in years til I watched season 2 episode 1 of Mad Men. Fantastic version, Thank you!
Honestly mad men and breaking bad are the best shows of all time
What lovely and haunting music at closing credits. Cannot listen to often enough 👏💐💖
Beautiful song. I loved the scene that it came from too.
Valentines Day on MM... Betty glides down the stairs ... No Words 😶
She looked absurdly beautiful, even for her.
Just.......................oh, man.
I first knew this about 60 years ago as "Hymn to the Sun" --
Rest In Peace, Freda. Love, Sally
My God...this song hit me so hard 😢❤
Never gets old. Happy Spring 🌞🌼🌸💐🌹🥀🌺
Patrick is getting better. Praise the Lord 🙏🤗
This is such an amazing version of the song. Thanks for uploading!
Followed by this song. Calming and relaxing. First thing in the morning.
David Carbonara est fantastique, ça c'est du bon son
Bisous
No, Rimsky-Korsakov is amazing
As she walking down the stairs in a beautiful dress ❤️

There is also a vocal version with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. Mario Lanza sings the definitive version.
Patrick came home yesterday. Oh Happy day
David Carbonara > Spaghetti Carbonara
Nope, sorry. Nope, nope, nope.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa........'Hey Hamm, Twirl it..don't cut it....' LoL.....

Why is it called Song of India?
it's derived from a korsakov opera song, sakho.
