  • Beginning reminds me of Halo, anybody? :D

  • Its also the opening scene in City of Angels, when Maggie is riding her bike through LA to the hospital.

  • hey this song sounds familiar, is this from a movie?

  • @ACA400 Actually it's from the 2000 film "American Beauty". With Tora Birch Kevin Spacey!!! But it's not played that way in the movie. Only the piano sequence is used in the movie scene

  • @celia75017 I kept hearing the piano part and was like what movie was that. I don't remember watching this movie.

  • i know its off madagascar xD

  • loving it thanks

  • thank god no one has said "open another browser and go to you tube and type in [...] ...... listen and enjoy

  • I just can't understand: How can anyone vote this down and/or post here any spam/hateful comment :X

  • 18 people who disliked this song need to be shot 18 times.

  • The American Dream is not about social justice, equal poverty for all with no incentive nor reward to succeed. The American Dream is about the free market. It rewards those who make it with both money and feelings of accomplishment.

    .

    The American Dream is not a welfare state for all. It challenges all to become better to get the things they truly want in life. There will always be poor. Why should we abolish the middle class for the elitist desire to redefine the American Dream?

  • @Oktoberfesting THIS movie, the best ever made, is more about the toxic attitudes and snob values that middle class lifestyle creates. its a disease thats infected the western world. im glad american beauty was made. it doesnt say all who are middle class are unhappy but in saying that, anyone who watches this movie will know people who are like the burhams. the movie is a snap shot of middle class life like today...and it captured it beautifully.

  • Have you the 1st or the Original version? Cause I can't find it on the Web.

    Thanks !

  • @DESMYTTER type in to google "thomas newman any other name mediafire" click on the first link and then click the download link in the page. That is how I got the file.

  • My sister introduced me to this artist because I liked the music from the american beauty movie. I like this stuff.

  • Best version of them all!

  • I searched ages for this!!

  • wow !!! awesome 

  • Me Likey!

  • Fucking hell this song is everything

  • i think i heard this on House M.D too. Anyone recalls? at least the beginning....

  • @13mitza Yes the beginning is exactly like the house theme song

  • I remeber this too from House M.D!!

  • Nice remix!!

  • this was my fave scene in that movie/partly becuz of this music~thnk you for the upload<3R!

  • I love American Beauty and the theme from it, I think what Afterlife have done to this song is brilliant, love it.

  • if i hear this song... i have goosebumps.

    it let me think about my life, the world and how quick the time is running...

    i don´t know why oO

  • veri good

  • American dream, is one of those tracks which captured the essence of euphoria without contradicting the masterpiece that thomas newman created for a timeless silverscreen classic.

  • I love your disclaimer about removing hateful comments! I wonder when YouTube became a place for some people to show their true colors. How sad, but I can't imagine how anyone would not be inspired by such beautiful music!

  • @dpmduran .....and you've shown your true colours dpmduran. Some people have hate inside their hearts, emotions that can't be depicted anywhere else except through the anonomity of online commentary. Rather than hating the uncovered 'true colours' as you call it, why not hate what MADE those colours in the first place? Hate doesn't come from nowhere. I feel for you buddy. Not being able to understand pain or bitterness or frustration.....or ANGER. Leads to Hate, my friend. Only Love is stronger

  • @kdreamland

    Well said. It's just a shame that so many folks find this kind of talk boring because their hearts & their love have been buried or twisted by fear.

    Take care (-:

  • Awesome.

  • this song is very nice

  • One of my dreamy soundscapes...

  • son de esas canciones k te hacen poner los pelos de punta

  • Love It.

  • thanks 4 upload ;) this remix is greatt ^^

  • I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up...

  • Jakatta, Keep on moving

  • The world is full.

  • Thomas Newman+Hans Zimmer+Danny Elfman+Christopher Lennertz+Shawn Lee+Charlie Clouser+Gary Numan+Klaus Badelt+Trent Reznor=BEST MUSIC EVER!!!!

  • :o) yes read the decription.

  • so much tingling .. this song has an otherworldly quality

  • Reminds me of the more spacey version of "So Lonely" ~ sublime.

    Thanks (-:

  • Love Love Love it!

  • i just love it as it is

  • A stunningly beautiful arrangement of a knockout track. Unusual in that it is written in 6/4 timing which gives it the added dimension. A profoundly reaching melody. Superb.

  • Truly a beautiful mix of a truly great composition. Unusually in 6/4 time, it gives the whole piece a fouth dimension. Great track, really great.

  • nice =)

  • 0:00 - 0:11 Are wonderfull

  • Πάει ένας και ρωτάει έναν άλλο, που έπαιζε με μια τρίχα. - "Από τα νεύρα σου;" και του λέει ο άλλος: - "Όχι από τα αρχίδια μου."

  • Συγνώμη αλλά έχει Τι να δει;

  • superb!!

  • dost dobrej rozjezd.....celé je to dobře pojaté.....opětovně píšu ,že to je muzika na noční jízdu autem....na noční poslech a relax

  • wow

  • beautiful! compares to classical music in a sense of greatness..

  • i still remember seeing Visions kinda wrecked from when my dad played it so much... being 11 or so? i totally just remembered this after watching secret millionaire ad lolol

  • haha, exactly the same

  • Fucking laid back business :)

  • trés belle musique !

  • i know it's from american beauty, but has anyone else heard it from six feet under? fantastic piece of music, also a fan of the joey negro club mix! (p.s. try making a genius playlist on itunes from this song if you like it!)

  • i haven't heard it on 6 feet under, but they did use this song on the show House. I agree, though, that it is a great piece of music.

  • magical

  • this sounds like something off of house m.d. the beginning does anyway. like when a patient is dying.

  • dumbasses the song title and band is in the video picture....jakatta - american dream (afterlife mix)

  • opening gives me goosebumps =)

  • love this song first time i herd it was on most haunted :P

    Thomas Newman - Dead Already (from American Beauty soundtrack) 

  • this song is...TT...i don0t know...but...i love it :(

  • I hears this couple times at House M.D.

  • No, this is the one ive been looking for for a year LOL

  • is like a disney movie, looks like a soundtrack for sadly time of a movie

    This Song Is Awesome

  • I feel like ive heard this song in a Disney movie... something like Finding Nemo, but I quite can't put my finger on it..

  • love it :-) want more chilled music and some trance, then plz visit my web page.

  • have you seen the football factory i have been looking the name of a song from it for ages now, its in it a couple of times, when tommy johnson is having the nightmares

  • its chillout btw lol

  • Are you guys sure that Thomas Newman's original composition wasn't just used for this song? I believe this is the case.

  • um here the bit where its some brass instrument sax or sumthing. i think ive heard another song with that kind of melody a bti different not sure if it was still house or jazz can some1 give me a name?

  • I`m fairly sure this music was used in "The Shawshank redemption"- the part where Morgan Freeman gets out and is thinking about the guy who hung himself when he was released. Actually it was also used when the old guy from the prison library is walking around thinking about what he is going to do and then hangs himself

  • Actually what first came to mind was Road to Perdition's score. But the scores from both that and Shawshank have a common link: Thomas Newman. So it goes to show that Thomas Newman reused his 6-note motif and then Jakatta sampled it... wth is going on here, lol, what happened to originality?

  • I`m fairly sure this music was used in "The Shawshank redemtion". The part where the old guy from the prison (Brooks) gets out and is trying to make some sense of the world he has been released into but then hangs himself. I could be wrong but its definitely similar- check it out.

  • In case people don't know this was included in the soundtrack of the film American Beauty. A bloody brilliant film that has everything. For every age group really.

  • nice i knew i recognized it from somewhere

  • yea thomas newan composed it....

  • I think it might be in the actual show- I know the theme song is Teardrop by Massive Attack

  • yep ^^ I was looking for it :)

  • reminds me of the ocean but only because of finding nemo xDDDD

  • That's because this samples Thomas Newman who did the soundtrack for Finding Nemo

  • I wonder if heaven sounds like this?
