I was afraid to see a flop like the 2 Aliens sequels by Scott and also Terminator 3. YES, IT IS A WONDERFUL FILM that you don't get tired to see again and again :)
the entire scene, a little shuttle flying over a collosal dam a wall of rock that devides sea and land water under pressure gushing expressing threatening to flood and destroy everything but is held back by the monolith of order and restraint
But what if fake is all there is? Why should it be less important? Everything is as important as you make it, if there's no other lesson from Blade Runner, this is perhaps the most important one. Even in the most dystopian future imaginable, life still yearns for love.
I saw the original Blade Runner in theaters. I've listened to the Vangelis soundtrack a thousand times. I pick Blade Runner as my favourite movie of all time, if I could pick only one. I'm so happy that BR 2049 is a worthy sequel. I had such high hopes and anxiety for it to be good, before it was released. It did not disappoint.
OMG i did'nt know he has left us......I rememebr this movie from the 90's where he was the Cop from memory....He was a GREAT actor, i will miss him for ever!!!!!
man, im going through chemo rn. this song always struck a cord with me. its so powerful and visceral. its a transcendent, emotional experience. when times get hard, this song is an escape. thank you for this. edit: 2049 was one of the best films of this century.
It is good that a site exists where I can express my feelings without persecution. I am 61 years old but still am able to look in awe when beauty raises it majesty. In this selection, I can imagine the Trumpets of Gabriel ushering in the new age. The Blade Runner saga deals with the preciousness of life in whatever form. Human compassion is a dying virtue being replaced by cynicism and shallow platitudes without concern for the future. Let the negative comments begin.
Don’t be so cynical Doug. I am 27 and I assure you most of what you see on the news is the extreme polarized youth frothing into the airways so people feel alienated. Many my age and younger express compassion and seek unity and truth. The human flame shall burn against the darkness. Godspeed.
@@Wicked1865 was there a darkness to begin with? What does it even mean to be human? What does humanity give, which the absence of causes "darkness?" Ask yourself those questions honestly. Blade Runner asked those same questions too.
I will never understand why people say that Zimmer's music sounds generic and repetitive and is not melodic. I love Williams, Shore, Morricone and others, but Zimmer is without a doubt my favorite film composer of all time. I mean his track record is incredible. Gladiator, Dune, Man of Steel, Wonder Woman 1984, Batman v. Superman, the Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception, Interstellar, Dune: Part Two, Blade Runner 2049, Rain Man, Driving Miss Daisy, The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons (160 BPM is my favorite Zimmer track ever!), Kung Fu Panda, No Time To Die, The Last Samurai...the list goes on and on.
Feels like an Archangel playing a trumpet over the vastness of space. Wiping out war & poverty & giving us another chance. A chance where we can live in harmony & travel as far as Light will take us.
I think the music made the movie , its got a sense of a beautiful world fallen low , echoes of the past buried beneath the new world And we are getting closer to it everyday Also did anyone else notice the creator of the A.I Robot Sophia had a cameo in the movie , Before I started watching the movie I said to myself I wonder if the Henson would make an appearance & low & behold he was , A real world genius behind A.I in a movie about A.I cool irony
ROOTSCONTRA well a lot of people would say the music of this movie creates exactly the right atmosphere: this song for instance (to me at least) feels simultaneously joyful but with a sense of longing. This fits the moment it was made for, with K and Joi taking a drive together for the first time, enjoying each other’s company with a polluted, dystopian world all around them. Maybe this style of music is not to your taste, but to say it ruins the movie and breaks the atmosphere is a bit far I think. Though the setting is dark, I don’t think the story itself is particularly dark (it’s more of a love story and a “being human” movie than a dark gritty sci fi epic) and the music enhances the story and setting in the right places for me. This song is more about enhancing the mood and emotion of the scene (finding momentary happiness in a dark place) than about adding to the gritty setting.
This movie is such a classic. Many realize it now, but it'll age like fine wine. I own 700 DVDs/Blu-Rays and this is my 2nd favorite movie of all time.
Dude. This cut has become the soundtrack to my soul. When I need six minutes and forty-one seconds of chill, this is where I go. Over Christmas, we were visiting family and driving a lot... our 6 month old hated car journeys.... I used to play this in the car to calm him down... worked every time. Your work has literally stopped babies from crying.
Dude you couldn't have put it any better. It's so wonderful seeing others around the world are sharing the same feelings as you towards a piece of music. Gotta love YT, really brings people together.
The original Blade Runner was and is my favourite movie of all time. Would have been ten when I first saw it and was utterly captivated by Ridley Scott's interpretation of a dystopian future that was so simultaneously other worldly but at the same time eerily familiar. The music of Vangelis was the a masterpiece within a masterpiece. I was extremely divided when 2049 was announced. I wanted to see more of this amazing universe but at the same time was troubled that it would disappoint me. The wave of relief and joy when I watched 2049 for the first time was palpable. I thought "surely the soundtrack cannot approach the mastery of Vangelis" , how wrong I was, it was awe inspiring. I am sure Vangelis happily shared the limelight with Zimmermann in bringing another layer of genius to a world they brought to life with their artistry.
I think it’s remarkable how lucky we are in a sea of mediocre sequels and franchises that have ran their course to get another blade runner that’s at least on par with the original, if not better for some people
Greatest sequel ever. I thought they were gonna eff it up, but Gossling was brilliant, Villeneuve crushed it and the movie 110% deserved ever major Oscar. The acting was God tier, the direction was masterful, the cinematography absolutely EPIC, music was evocative, the ladies played their roles to perfection without any “woke feminist BS” poisoning their efforts. I saw it with 2 friends, and after the movie we all stood in the foyer of the theatre with stunned looks on our faces……..not sure of what to say. It was as if the greatness of this masterpiece was beyond our ability to comment afterwards. I think I uttered: “that was an all out ASSAULT on the senses”, and my friends simply agreed. The original has so many iconic scenes, and so does this one. The Transition scene from K in the lab to the water falling over the sea wall, the scene with his sister at Steline, The fight with Joy, the final scene…..so many great moments. WOW!!!! What a movie. Absolutely GOD TEIR. Please Lord, let Villeneuve direct the third one.
Very few soundtracks have this amount of emotion creating subliminal power. When I’m in my dark place, this is one of my go to places to blank out the pain and float out of my conscience mind. Aside from the soundtrack, this is a masterpiece of a film in so many ways. The story, how it was portrayed, the overall impact, and the characters/actors cast were perfect. Way ahead of it’s time (hard to believe it was 1982!). I was wrongly sceptical of the second film being likely to honour the original, but I think it did.
Every ounce of emotion, meaningless to a stone. Every shred of desperation, lost in the wind, like a leaf in a tempest, naught for the forest it is ripped from. Settling on the plains, blown out to sea, entombed in a rocky crevice, as if it never...were. All of us, and none of us, waking to that one musical note, that mote of sunshine....a memory of things to come, dreams of things that never were. Love is the longing for a connection never made, once made, it fades, like the light at the end of the day... soft, purposeful, fading into dusk, then night, and it lasts forever. Open your eyes...keep going. The end is NOT your destination, it is only a resting place. Keep going.
Nothing can ever be relived. I can never re-live the moment in the film (I saw this the first day it came out first showing in my town) when this glorious piece of music overwhelmed my senses on every level. I don't want to sound TOO dramatic here but I have never been so alive as when this scene occurred. I was shaking and helplessly watching as the aircraft flew through the dystopian landscape with Gosling and his girl. Tears where rolling down my cheeks and I was glad the theater was dark for man was I emotional. It was as if that moment between them would mark their most "perfect" and yet just like the music was not to last and would end sadly. BUT the moment that brief shining moment was glorious to behold!
I felt the exact same thing. The ENTIRE movie, I like to say, is 'an all out assault on the senses (and emotions)'.......in the best way possible. But if I have a favorite scene it's when K says : "Wanna go for a ride?".....then the synth breaks from that hum into a roar and into the waterfall scene. Gloriously blissful.
I'd rather not have another one, let Villeneuve concentrate on Dune now and other interesting stories he may bring to the big screen. 2049 would also not be as impactful if Hampton Fancher wasn't on the script I think. Only he knew the best way to continue. Deckard has now finally found peace.
The first time I saw Pulp Fiction. Oh man. I was so into it, I was saying their lines before they did. This movie was different. I didn't understand it all and didn't try to. I just let it wash over me. Then I went home and watched the original... and loved it!
A beatifully heartfelt and expressive comment .. I very much echo your sentiments re this " remarkable " anthem .... a transcendent , ..... as if a glorious Angel standing in the vault of heaven proclaiming the absolute truth of the all pervading presence of Vishnu's Brahman energy ........ Ohmkaraaa 😌
A sequel/reboot that wasn't bogged down by the ideas of the original film but managed to capture some of the magic of the original production is incredible. A cult classic indeed.
I just sat there in the theater when the film ended, like someone punched me in the face, and the only thing that came to my mind was: "Huh, apparently there are still good films being made." It was like an awakening call. This was pure magic, and deep down I propably always knew we deserved better. And this movie just showed it to me.
Mine too!!!!! Oh my gosh!!!!! This is your favorite too???? I just love your music!!!! Found you in another comment section once again!!!! You're soooo amazing!!!! Keep amusing us!!
The thought of K, a replicant, sacrificing his life to connect dekard with his daughter despite LAPD and the rebels wanting their own way is incredible. Something as simple as exercising his own free will, just cuts straight to your heart.
Best music of the whole score. Wish they had more of this throughout the whole musical theme. Comments r spot on. The preciousness of existence and the tragedy of mortality, in musical form. Sublime. Divine.
Comments have certainly been the most positive response I've ever received on here. By a long shot. I have taken note of that. I'm happy the song could evoke feelings and thoughts for you to reflect on. That's all I'll ever consider my creativity to be worth a damn for.
I love the fact this film pretty much bombed in the cinema. It makes it special. The masses don't get it. Only we do. What an amazing scene in the film. K and Joi are more human than human. Thanks for posting this gorgeous track.
The problem with that reasoning is that studios will be even further discouraged to make pictures such as Blade Runner 2049. It was never going to break Box Office records but we could have done with this film making money, not bombing.
I don't agree with the terms bombing on this. It made over 265 million give or take but the outrageous budget and the R rating and long run time and mysterious marketing all hurt the final outcome. This should have done what Interstellar did. I digress as this was still a near perfect film, sound and look, thus their earned Oscar. Hopefully, we might get another, just put better thought to how to do the things missed here. I still cherish this.
0:45 This music elicits such distance and scope, as if staring out across vistas towards bleak horizons. It is hauntingly melancholic, gorgeous, and exactly what I need when waxing pensive and introspective.
This movie made me want to cry with how perfect it was. I wish there was another 3 hours of it. I thought it was going to be hard to top the original nearly 40 years later but it topped it by far. WOW!!!! Fav movie of all time now. SORRY not sorry.
Nothing will ever create a tangible space of feeling that Vangelis does with his Blade Runner score. I was there in 1982 watching, but not quite understanding how enduring this film would be for me in my life. The music. The visuals. Nothing else comes close. So, we get Blade Runner:2049. A film I admire in its own right, but I am amazed on how Hans Zimmer took what Vangelis started and created a few moments in time that will be with me for all time...like tears in the rain. We are one.
Love this film soo much. My mother who is 79 has never seen the 1st Blade Runner so after letting her see a shorten version of it on utube. I knew she would not like the slow pace. I then gave her my blue ray copy of Blade Runner 2049. She loved it and has watched it twice. Came over to discuss the movie with me. Enough said.
This movie deserved better than it did. It was probably misunderstood by a lot of critics. Remember, the critics savaged Blade Runner as well when it came out but it became more and more popular over the years. The same will happen to this as well. I did my bit to support the film. Saw it 7 times when it came out mostly because the music just blew me away. Especially the haunting track Mesa and Flight To LAPD where Joe's headed to the markets and meets the hookers. I bought on 4K when it was released and have watched it a further 5-6 times. One thing I'm grateful for this film is that it introduced the absolutely gorgeous Ana Des Armas who played Joi. Those lips and those eyes!!!!! What I'd give to swap places with Ben Affleck for just one night!!! If interactive holograms like Joi become a reality I'll definitely be down for one. As long as it looks like Joi and sounds like Joi. Loved Ana in Knives Out and looking forward to seeing her in a couple of months in the new James Bond flick, No Time To Die. Especially looking forward to see how she does as Marilyn Monroe in her upcoming film in 2021, Blonde.
maybe a modern kind of Shakespeare.. but.. i love the philosophical elements in the movie, the dark melancholic mood, and the very modern all time question of the humanity, what comes next ?
In my opinion the greatest moment of this amazing film is when we catch a glimpse of what is presumably a ship destined for the off world colonies. The imagery has so much weight, after both films place such emphasis on both the promise and the danger of the off world colonies. I create almost an entire other film in my mind on seeing that ship. Then after just that glimpse it disappears, out of reach for ever more. Epic...
one thing i love about the movie is the romantisization of the idea of finding answers to our deepest questions. finding who created us, life across the galaxy. the scientists were so obsessed with this that it cost many lives. the soundtrack is the embodiment of the human desire to keep going. to explore and understand.
Had this on repeat for the last 5 years,no matter how much I listen it still always hits that weird spot in my brain that makes my hairs stand up,amazing!
Perilously close to being the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard - there’s something about this that hits me right in the soul and moves me to tears. Fantastic extended version - the points at which you’ve looped it are pretty much indistinguishable.
This piece, just like the whole movie, to me, is about the hidden gem inside of everyone, no matter how insignificant. Intrinsic value of a good person, of a good being - regardless of their status. Recurring, perpetual, sublime. Thanks a lot for doing this, whoever you are. And thanks to Zimmer, and Villeneuve and everyone else who was in any way involved with making this masterpiece. And to all those who appreciate it. It's Beautiful.
Agreed Sea wall is one of the most bad ass synth tracks ever. Honestly, I was the most pumped during that final action sequence than I've ever been in a theatre in my entire life. never forget that
absolutly fantastic ! If we could play this song over the whole world with big speakers in sky, there would be no war while this song sounds over all the worlds landscapes.
Moritz R. You know, I have often thought of music as a deterrent against violence. Every city in the world ought to be filled with great speakers and beautiful music should be heard everywhere. I think we would all be the better for it.
Why is that this beautiful sound makes us feel so so good??? What triggers this feeling of amazement??? Like a natural sound coming from the heavens?? Like when you die this is the sound of all your life flashing in seconds?? Someone who created this music must have an out of body experiences or some sort..
Ive realized its only when you make art for yourself that others appreciate it the most, I think it allows us to extract and manifest what makes us all connected.
Mesa, All The Memories Are Of Hers, and Tears in the Rain, giving me goosebumps forever. What a beautiful film man, like how can you create visually such a magnificent movie, still gets to me. Sighhh, Villeneuve and Zimmer you beautiesss.
This is one of my favorite songs off the soundtrack but also the shortest. Thanks for extending it! Btw, I don't think it was an accident that it was the shortest track. Mesa stands out for the soothing, dreamy sound you get to enjoy briefly before the darkness roles back in. Possibly the only moment in the film when K is content or happy. Then he is knocked back into reality.
It's a perfect length in the film for sure. I'm glad most of the soundtrack was something new and unique though, while Mesa serves more as a Vangelis tribute in a way with it's retrosynth aesthetic.
DuesX I agree, Vangelis's score on the 1st BR is one of my all-time favorite soundtracks, but the same sound wouldn't have worked on 2049. The subtle hints of the Vangelis sound was great on the sequel, it was necessary really, but it would have been completely out of place in 2049. Back in '82 Scott was introducing audiences to a new world, something never seen before so the music had a certain innocence to it. It was awe inspiring and entralling. 2049 was loud and aggressive. It was like, this is reality, things are fxcked up, you need to deal with it.
Thank you, I'm glad the small touches haven't gone unnoticed. Even those additions made me apprehensive, like who am I to even touch this piece. Good place to start :P

It saddens me when think of k's story, everything he thought real was all fake. That hollow feeling.. I felt the same way sometime in my life.
Hang in there bud
I felt that feeling with him so badly man
It'll be all right Ronin, just remember what we do and experience everyday, that's a brand new story - doesn't have to be hollow in the present!

Settling on the plains, blown out to sea, entombed in a rocky crevice, as if it never...were. All of us, and none of us, waking to that one musical note, that mote of sunshine....a memory of things to come, dreams of things that never were. Love is the longing for a connection never made, once made, it fades, like the light at the end of the day... soft, purposeful, fading into dusk, then night, and it lasts forever. Open your eyes...keep going. The end is NOT your destination, it is only a resting place. Keep going.
BeautiFULL.
Where is this from? Is this your own creation? If it is, then it is outstandingly amazing.
@@eudaimon7324 Yes, this is my own thinking. Thank you.
When I listen to this song, usually I cry. Thank you for making this masterpiece.
i cri evrytim
Dot cry
I got hypnotized by the movie and music.
My heart yearns for you AK after listening to this 💔🥀 it breaks me into pieces and I fell in depths of sorrow
Nothing can ever be relived. I can never re-live the moment in the film (I saw this the first day it came out first showing in my town) when this glorious piece of music overwhelmed my senses on every level. I don't want to sound TOO dramatic here but I have never been so alive as when this scene occurred. I was shaking and helplessly watching as the aircraft flew through the dystopian landscape with Gosling and his girl. Tears where rolling down my cheeks and I was glad the theater was dark for man was I emotional. It was as if that moment between them would mark their most "perfect" and yet just like the music was not to last and would end sadly. BUT the moment that brief shining moment was glorious to behold!
amazing . knowing she dies makes it even more impactful
I felt the exact same thing. The ENTIRE movie, I like to say, is 'an all out assault on the senses (and emotions)'.......in the best way possible. But if I have a favorite scene it's when K says : "Wanna go for a ride?".....then the synth breaks from that hum into a roar and into the waterfall scene. Gloriously blissful.
I'd rather not have another one, let Villeneuve concentrate on Dune now and other interesting stories he may bring to the big screen. 2049 would also not be as impactful if Hampton Fancher wasn't on the script I think. Only he knew the best way to continue. Deckard has now finally found peace.
The first time I saw Pulp Fiction. Oh man. I was so into it, I was saying their lines before they did. This movie was different. I didn't understand it all and didn't try to. I just let it wash over me. Then I went home and watched the original... and loved it!
A beatifully heartfelt and expressive comment ..
I very much echo your sentiments re this " remarkable " anthem .... a transcendent , ..... as if a glorious Angel standing in the vault of heaven proclaiming the absolute truth of the all pervading presence of Vishnu's Brahman energy ........ Ohmkaraaa 😌
Avrò 70 anni quando rivedrò questo bellissimo film nel 2049....e sarà sicuramente emozionante come adesso
👋🏻 68
Creating this is the most human thing you could do! Thank you!
dave rumbear time.. to chill.. *releases dove*
More human, than human !
Best track from the film, love it. There's something really sad about it which for some reason i love.
Same.
Now this is blade runner music holy shit
A sequel/reboot that wasn't bogged down by the ideas of the original film but managed to capture some of the magic of the original production is incredible. A cult classic indeed.
"Pain reminds you the joy you felt was real" ~ Niander Wallace, Blade Runner 2049
The greatest movie of all time.
This produces a tear in my eye...
Splendid lol
I just sat there in the theater when the film ended, like someone punched me in the face, and the only thing that came to my mind was: "Huh, apparently there are still good films being made." It was like an awakening call. This was pure magic, and deep down I propably always knew we deserved better. And this movie just showed it to me.
One of my favourite tracks from film
Mine too!!!!! Oh my gosh!!!!! This is your favorite too???? I just love your music!!!! Found you in another comment section once again!!!! You're soooo amazing!!!! Keep amusing us!!
Reminiscent of Vangelis' original theme ...
Riju Chaudhuri thanks appreciate that
i can't help but imagine being in that flying car, seeing the sea, feeling timeless, like i belong nowhere but there
beautifully said
It took my breath away and hit me like nothing else before. Machine or human? The difference and the dance around it is magical.
Amazing.....not just the soundtrack the whole movie itself. It shocks me how people can't understand this movie
Who could "dislike" this necessary extension of one of the best tracks from BR 2049.
Thanks for sharing.
DuesX i really needed this thank you !!!
Why did this masterpiece of film fly under the radar??? Tf man it's amazing one of my favorite sequels
The thought of K, a replicant, sacrificing his life to connect dekard with his daughter despite LAPD and the rebels wanting their own way is incredible. Something as simple as exercising his own free will, just cuts straight to your heart.
If life had background music, this is what I would want it to sound like
My son was born 6-10-21, when I saw the date it hit me.
The synths feel like waves calmy drowning you, but in a good way
Perfect describing.
Best music of the whole score. Wish they had more of this throughout the whole musical theme. Comments r spot on. The preciousness of existence and the tragedy of mortality, in musical form. Sublime. Divine.
Comments have certainly been the most positive response I've ever received on here. By a long shot. I have taken note of that. I'm happy the song could evoke feelings and thoughts for you to reflect on. That's all I'll ever consider my creativity to be worth a damn for.
I love the fact this film pretty much bombed in the cinema. It makes it special. The masses don't get it. Only we do. What an amazing scene in the film. K and Joi are more human than human. Thanks for posting this gorgeous track.
Thats a very good point. Yes they were more human oddly! And humans were like nothing special...
Rich Ard thanks for putting it in a way that hit home . It is a masterpiece of cinema
The problem with that reasoning is that studios will be even further discouraged to make pictures such as Blade Runner 2049. It was never going to break Box Office records but we could have done with this film making money, not bombing.
I don't agree with the terms bombing on this. It made over 265 million give or take but the outrageous budget and the R rating and long run time and mysterious marketing all hurt the final outcome. This should have done what Interstellar did. I digress as this was still a near perfect film, sound and look, thus their earned Oscar. Hopefully, we might get another, just put better thought to how to do the things missed here. I still cherish this.
it made $259 mil in just the US... cost em $150 mil. i think they did fine.
Loop this to sleep at night. Thanks for posting
0:45 This music elicits such distance and scope, as if staring out across vistas towards bleak horizons. It is hauntingly melancholic, gorgeous, and exactly what I need when waxing pensive and introspective.
I had the opportunity to see hans zimmer live last year it was just pure magic a tick on the bucket list
This is the only voyage possible two centuries ahead.....
If i choose what background music of life, this one im choosing in.
This movie made me want to cry with how perfect it was. I wish there was another 3 hours of it. I thought it was going to be hard to top the original nearly 40 years later but it topped it by far. WOW!!!! Fav movie of all time now. SORRY not sorry.
Agreed! My respect goes out to the filmmakers. Masters of their craft.
Nothing will ever create a tangible space of feeling that Vangelis does with his Blade Runner score. I was there in 1982 watching, but not quite understanding how enduring this film would be for me in my life. The music. The visuals. Nothing else comes close. So, we get Blade Runner:2049. A film I admire in its own right, but I am amazed on how Hans Zimmer took what Vangelis started and created a few moments in time that will be with me for all time...like tears in the rain. We are one.
It’s a rare thing nowadays, a movie with this much soul, I can’t understand how anyone found it boring
This song represented the hope inside k's mind and soul
Thanks for posting this! Best film of 2017 in my opinion.
No problemo, Sir Galloway.
Дщкв Пфддщцфн
Joshua Galloway Agreed
Best film in 20 years perhaps.
Well said Matt.
Love this film soo much. My mother who is 79 has never seen the 1st Blade Runner so after letting her see a shorten version of it on utube. I knew she would not like the slow pace. I then gave her my blue ray copy of Blade Runner 2049. She loved it and has watched it twice. Came over to discuss the movie with me. Enough said.
This movie deserved better than it did. It was probably misunderstood by a lot of critics. Remember, the critics savaged Blade Runner as well when it came out but it became more and more popular over the years. The same will happen to this as well. I did my bit to support the film. Saw it 7 times when it came out mostly because the music just blew me away. Especially the haunting track Mesa and Flight To LAPD where Joe's headed to the markets and meets the hookers. I bought on 4K when it was released and have watched it a further 5-6 times. One thing I'm grateful for this film is that it introduced the absolutely gorgeous Ana Des Armas who played Joi. Those lips and those eyes!!!!! What I'd give to swap places with Ben Affleck for just one night!!! If interactive holograms like Joi become a reality I'll definitely be down for one. As long as it looks like Joi and sounds like Joi. Loved Ana in Knives Out and looking forward to seeing her in a couple of months in the new James Bond flick, No Time To Die. Especially looking forward to see how she does as Marilyn Monroe in her upcoming film in 2021, Blonde.
This is one of my favorite films.
Such an under rated film..loved this movie as much as the original...the music and visuals were awesomely stunningl.
maybe a modern kind of Shakespeare.. but.. i love the philosophical elements in the movie, the dark melancholic mood, and the very modern all time question of the humanity, what comes next ?
thank you :P
In my opinion the greatest moment of this amazing film is when we catch a glimpse of what is presumably a ship destined for the off world colonies. The imagery has so much weight, after both films place such emphasis on both the promise and the danger of the off world colonies. I create almost an entire other film in my mind on seeing that ship. Then after just that glimpse it disappears, out of reach for ever more. Epic...
Absolutely gorgeous.
a masterpiece of the cinema world
one thing i love about the movie is the romantisization of the idea of finding answers to our deepest questions. finding who created us, life across the galaxy. the scientists were so obsessed with this that it cost many lives. the soundtrack is the embodiment of the human desire to keep going. to explore and understand.
This movie had amazing scenery, soundtrack, and dialogue. I watched this movie blind and loved every second of it
Purée, quelle émotion !
Merci pour le post, et les belles images qui vont avec..
your welcome
This song makes me happy so much. Makes me dream of the great future I want to live in.
unfun me too man
Great future 😂
Blade Runner isn't exactly about a "great future"
It won't be a great future
Had this on repeat for the last 5 years,no matter how much I listen it still always hits that weird spot in my brain that makes my hairs stand up,amazing!
Blade Runner and his atmosphere and music... that's something magneficent, stunning, spectacular!
hans zimmar score makes this great movie a masterpiece. one of the most favourite movie of all time.
Perilously close to being the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard - there’s something about this that hits me right in the soul and moves me to tears. Fantastic extended version - the points at which you’ve looped it are pretty much indistinguishable.
Best tune on the album, thanks for extending it!
Jules Barrell I know right? You are quite welcome.
This one and Sea Wall are the best of the best. Incredible movie.
It was an honor being taken once again into the blade runner world with such a talented crew that took care the legacy of Riddley and Vengelis
I am so glad those that know real art and beauty are here. This film will live on for long time to come.
When I'm traveling in space this is definitely one of the songs I will listen to
Fabian Perez yeah, this and Sigur Ros
Aliens confirmed.
me too! And the book of Eli ost is also perfect
Put this on while flying in Star Citizen!
Fabian Perez sounds like mass effect
This piece, just like the whole movie, to me, is about the hidden gem inside of everyone, no matter how insignificant. Intrinsic value of a good person, of a good being - regardless of their status. Recurring, perpetual, sublime. Thanks a lot for doing this, whoever you are. And thanks to Zimmer, and Villeneuve and everyone else who was in any way involved with making this masterpiece. And to all those who appreciate it. It's Beautiful.
Shivers every single time...
This and sea wall are incredible. Glad I saw it twice in the theater.
Agreed Sea wall is one of the most bad ass synth tracks ever. Honestly, I was the most pumped during that final action sequence than I've ever been in a theatre in my entire life. never forget that
Absolynth exactly, had a major adrenaline rush during that.
absolutly fantastic ! If we could play this song over the whole world with big speakers in sky, there would be no war while this song sounds over all the worlds landscapes.
now im seeing NASA live earth from space with this audio, PERFECT
Moritz R. So very true
Moritz R. You know, I have often thought of music as a deterrent against violence. Every city in the world ought to be filled with great speakers and beautiful music should be heard everywhere. I think we would all be the better for it.
Yep. We just need to spike the water supply with some entheogens
if you run for president or prime minister...I will vote for you....well said indeed!
I saw the ORIGINAL in the theatre back in 1982!!! NOTHING beats the original version…the music, the actors, the scenery….all physically done, NO CGI 🥰
Why is that this beautiful sound makes us feel so so good??? What triggers this feeling of amazement??? Like a natural sound coming from the heavens?? Like when you die this is the sound of all your life flashing in seconds??
Someone who created this music must have an out of body experiences or some sort..
Ive realized its only when you make art for yourself that others appreciate it the most, I think it allows us to extract and manifest what makes us all connected.
Mesa, All The Memories Are Of Hers, and Tears in the Rain, giving me goosebumps forever. What a beautiful film man, like how can you create visually such a magnificent movie, still gets to me. Sighhh, Villeneuve and Zimmer you beautiesss.
I love this track. The horn synth just blasts through everything and even though it's so harsh, it's so calming at the same time
This is one of my favorite songs off the soundtrack but also the shortest. Thanks for extending it!
Btw, I don't think it was an accident that it was the shortest track. Mesa stands out for the soothing, dreamy sound you get to enjoy briefly before the darkness roles back in. Possibly the only moment in the film when K is content or happy. Then he is knocked back into reality.
It's a perfect length in the film for sure. I'm glad most of the soundtrack was something new and unique though, while Mesa serves more as a Vangelis tribute in a way with it's retrosynth aesthetic.
DuesX I agree, Vangelis's score on the 1st BR is one of my all-time favorite soundtracks, but the same sound wouldn't have worked on 2049. The subtle hints of the Vangelis sound was great on the sequel, it was necessary really, but it would have been completely out of place in 2049. Back in '82 Scott was introducing audiences to a new world, something never seen before so the music had a certain innocence to it. It was awe inspiring and entralling. 2049 was loud and aggressive. It was like, this is reality, things are fxcked up, you need to deal with it.
I can hear some real thought went into this. You didn't just loop it, you picked and chose phrases and made it sound natural. Well done!
Thank you, I'm glad the small touches haven't gone unnoticed. Even those additions made me apprehensive, like who am I to even touch this piece. Good place to start :P
DuesX187 you did an amazing job, you picked out the exact part I was hoping would be extended, thank you so much for this
Oh your quite welcome :) and thank you.
Seeing this movie, then going home and watching the original the same day. And loving them both so much!
