I played this while looking up at a completely clear sky in my backyard, at night. The stars seemed to pulse and shimmer in tune to the song, and then the song made me feel an intense sadness that the stars also seemed to feel... I felt like I was one with them that night, It was a really weird.
I think the 1 dislike comes from a person who was so shivered by the epicness of this music that his mouse accidentally fell onto the dislike button...
There's an animated movie called Tales of the Past, done in a video game called World of Warcraft, and the director is a genius. He made the story compelling and everything, but that couldn't have been accomplished if he hadn't got the go to use Hans Zimmers brilliant music. I <3 Tales of the Past, and I <3 Hans Zimmer. This is pure brilliance :)
I adore Hans Zimmer, and this SD has continued to be one of my favorites of all time. And this song is so hauntingly beautiful. Thank you for posting it! :)
@Skratovarius I played this in a symphony orchestra at my school being the solo bassist, i'll tell you I havn't been able to top the nervousness and proudness yet, it was my first year playing upright bass and I had a Solo wtf? hahah :)
From 1:47 till the end is the best part of the song. Makes me really think, and there's so much emotion that emerges when I hear that part. Damn good soundtrack, and a damn good movie.
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, what more can I say. Music bypasses my reason and affects the core of my soul. Music is the most powerful language in the universe.
@WiltheLiam768 - the part after the battle where he is praying for his wife and son "whisper to them that I live only to hold them again...", and in the end, when Maximus dies... "he was a soldier of Rome, honor him..."
@WiltheLiam768 It plays in three places. After battle, when Maximus is looking over his horse and eating an apple, snow falling gently, and Commodus is practicing swordplay in th background, then when he's talking /Lucilla/praying to his ancestors, then when Lucilla visits him in his gladiatorial cell for the last time.
-But the version in the film, when Maximus is praying for guidance from his ancestors, is kinda better, though heartbreakingly shorter. -No offence to this version, of course. Why are some of the greatest tracks so stinkin' short, I ask?!
@Bimfirestarter It's true. I have seen many films in which the music is much better than on the soundtrack, but is so much shorter or covered by too much noise. Or both. I wish that they had complete recordings CDs instead of the regular soundtrack.
yes, i agree - hans zimmer is wonderful! all of his soundtracks, especially 'The Lion King', 'Pirates' but also 'Gladiator', 'Pearl Harbor' and 'The Da Vinci Code' (and of course 'the Simpsons') are wonderful movies with heartbreaking music. by Hans Zimmer ;D
Does anyone know if the actual version from the movie can be downloaded somewhere? during the movie they play a dfferent version.
Thanks.

In my opinion
( in the Beginning of the music ) , It letterlly Describe How the WORLD once upon a time was peaceful place.
( from the minute 1:46 ) it starts to describe how the world is right now :
WARS, Devil worship, Africa, Iraq, Palastine, Hurricanes, Earthquakes............
