  • how come youtube didnt block this or take this down? cause i'm thiking of using it in my own video so i'm scared...

  • This was a fantastic film. I'm half german and it really touched me and was very amusing. Great part of Germany's history shedding its communist/facist shackles and look at him now. At the forefront of his game.

  • maybe most sad music in this world, but somehow its still have a little hope inside of it, like a little child.It makes you feel the darkness but with a sun rising behind the hills.Little warm inside of a big cold, and a little smile on the face while the tears dropping.makes you feel that you have so much to tell, even makes you speechles, makes you feel to tell so much to the word, without using any word

  • i have never seen this moovie... but this is one of the most inspirational song i've ever hear!!

  • Why does all of the beautiful music have to be in other countries besides America? I wish my own country would stop producing all this rock and pop crud and start using their musical abilities to produce some real music such as this.

  • @mrjwowza and some deep drama as well...most movies at the moment are superficial and silly

  • @madotee THANK YOU! Someone finally understands what I mean! Why does everything lately have to be about vampires and werewolves?! I mean, that's great if you like it, but not everybody likes that. Think of something different already!

  • This is a prove that beauty is sad underneath. Even the best have something bad in it.

  • w la DDR

  • it makes me shiver.

  • amazing music!!!

  • pretty damn successful for your first video.

  • Beautiful and relaxin music!

  • labai grazu

  • This music is a ballad. It has a mixture of low tones on the keyboard along with violin, as well. The combination of held notes and a descending chorus is what causes this ballad to trigger sadness in most of us. Why? Well, now that is a good question. Ascending notes and a a quicker beat, in combination with less use of string instruments (or horn instruments, too) produces a trigger that leaves us feeling more uplifted. I would like to know why, too! :)

  • @starg8t1 harmony of revereberation, it has been studied since ever, and nowadays scientists are making even more links with string theory, that all things at the most small level, all atoms of everything are made of wave length, so music is the base of mathematics and therefor the building block of all we can grasp.

  • @nyxmaroercheostrea Uhhhh, no. That is not true.

  • one of my favorites

  • This movie is one of the best I have ever seen! The two younsters are so right for each other, and through their relationship they defy death and provide hope for life.

  • this is making me sad...

    Enjoy life.. make friends and lovers.. Have a blast, because tha's life.. A beautiful explosion of random like thing's and memories..

  • wonderful track :)

  • A song is as sad as the listener.

  • love it

  • Godbye, Lenin, one of the most beautiful movies ever.....

  • Un de mes films préférés à vie. Le film est beau et touchant. Un peu triste mais c'est une belle histoire. Je suis un passionné d'histoire et le film est un beau regard sur un grand moment de l'histoire moderne. Film historique mais léger à la fois...pratiquement un chef d'œuvre! La trame sonore est excellente. À voir...un must!

  • dieses Lied ist so gefühlvoll-wie muss der Film dann erst sein?!O.o hab ihn leider (noch) nicht gesehen:(

  • beautiful movie, beautiful music, beautiful

  • Kann mir jemand sagen ob es LP's von ihm gibt?

  • Thats "Goodbye Lenin."

    A German Movie

  • what movies are those?

  • the video and the song makes goodbye lenin! sound sad to me

  • genial la pelicula

  • Couldn't hold my tears...

  • me to...i'm sad now :'( and i don't know why..my life is so crap!

  • Really great - like the movie. :-)

  • I havent seen this movie, but a cousin loves it n he played the many songs of it in a piano, so since i also play piano I immediately liked them all. I asked him where were the songs from n he told me they were from this movie, so I kind of learned a few of them. This looks like its a sad movie, can anyone summarize a little bit please....

  • It's about an East German family and what happens to it before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The father has escaped to West Germany some time ago, the mother is a devoted socialist, and the son Alex initially opposes the system in the GDR. He gets arrested on an anti-government rally, his mother sees him there, and gets a severe heart attack. While she's uncoscious, the Wall gets destroyed, so Alex tries to to hide the truth from his mother, who won't be able to survive another arrest.

  • You must see this movie. It is incredible.

  • Thank you very much for this awesome emotional video!

  • bardzo śłiczna muzyka no i film rowniedobry!

  • wonderful

  • anyone know who the actress that plays lara is, she might just be one of the most naturally beautiful people that i have ever seen

  • it's Tschulpan Chamatowa.

    Does anyone has the sheet music for piano??

  • le monde est a vous!!!!!

  • great job on the editing. seriously, an awesome movie, thanks for your tribute, I enjoyed it.

  • So beautiful....

    And easy. It took only about 2 hours to learn it.

  • yes, correct, about 2 hours.

  • Realmente Hermoso ♥

  • That's really sweet. I don't know the film, but the video is well done =)

  • Good Bye,Lenin !

  • While this song exists, beauty will ever exist ♥

  • Beautiful.

  • cccp is welcome to hell!

  • une de mes chansons préférées d'un de mes films préférés! Super bien fait!

  • i love it... ths is one of my favorites!!!

  • I normally really don't like fan made vids, but you sir, have done something very fine here.

    It looks completely professional, all the imagery is appropriate for what part of the music it accompanies....wow.

  • quanti ricordi...

  • a me fa venire i brividi per quanto è bella.. mi ricorda tante cose.. belle e brutte.. mi evoca di tutto :')

  • well done - i am hopeful you make other movies

  • This song is used by another brazilian movie that's next to release... "From Beginning to End" (in English)... take a look in the movie trailer... and you could get so sad. However... I love this song! Thxs, Yann Tiersen!

  • so sad whilst being beautiful? i think soo...♥

  • this song is for me like standing in a river and watching him flow... I want to stay, but I know I can't and its better so...

    on the one hand its sad, on the other I can look forward and just hope...

    ps: thx to yann tiersen

    pps: wonderful german film!! ^^

  • why can music, like this peace of fine music, make us sad? because we are sad, deep inside of us. we miss so much: love, comfortness and deep acceptance of our true nature. so this tune only expresses our soul, and the soul off the composer i guess...

  • I know what you mean, this song makes me soo sad, from the moment I heard it in the movie, I was touched, and its so beautiful, that even if makes you sad, you want to keep feeling that

  • exactly!! it's sad, but a sweet and beautiful sadness... like a sad smile

  • @dustofsoul you are so right!

  • @dustofsoul you are so right!

  • @dustofsoul it doesnt make me sad. I would say that it makes us reflective and since we live in a hustings culture we dont feel the emotions that come with refection much.

  • i love this song :)

  • I love it..

  • timeless

  • Beautiful

    Yet This Song Makes Me Feel Sad

    Maybe Its Intentional, I Dont Know

    But I Can Feel Sadness In This Song

    And It Makes Me Feel Down

    But What A Song

    Simply Beautiful

  • @Masterofpuppets07 it is a song about lost times, The feeling of childhood forever gone. It does make me feel sad too. It feels both ways, both sad and a feeling of cherishing....the uncomplicated times

  • THAT song describes my actual feelings!

  • I have to say that his music captures the feeling of the postmodernistic era

    poloexplorer123456 :)

  • I absolutely love this song.

  • This music is someting special. It is one of the musics which had great impact on me. I think yann tiersen thinks in other way . when i listen to his music maybe i could imagine what he had been thinking in a time of writing or making it.maybe

  • this music is at the same time so beautiful,so sad,so perfect,so....life itself

  • If music can ever be classed as art then this is a modern masterpiece.

    I feel nostalgic just listening to the opening bars!

    Nice vid to go with it and what a great film : )

  • This is a masterpiece..! So painfully beautiful... Yann is a genious..Can't stop listening to this song..! It makes me some kind of sad...But at the same time I feel so peaceful..!

    For those who are interessted.

    Check out the band "Nyctalgia" (Their Song Time changed everything ).

    A great newcomer I think...and people who like songs like this will like this one..It's not my band but worth checking it out!

    It's curious that only a few people know them until now.....
