Tan Dun - For The World (Hero Soundtrack)

[PilotJohnSilver]

I could meditate for hours by listening to this...

[mightypen1]

Radio 3 this morning :D love this film! and happy Chineese New Year! :)

[pierrepollo]

Negative note because the add...

awesome music

[Beastmast3r5254]

0:19-0:27 makes me think of balance, peace, and tranquility

[dkr56]

I'm from Antarctica Research Station...I hope to visit Asia one day

[sanjeff7]

peaceful, kindness,gentle,compassion.

[coolhandlucozade]

I can't even explain the this song makes me feel, it's a feeling i never felt and will never feel outside this song it's a beatiful song. The only other song that made me feel this way was "Jisas yu holem hand blom mi" from the thin red line ost check it out if you havn't heard it.

[oneian]

This song resonates in my soul..or our souls because we relate to that particular time in past or in future.

[EnterzNameEre]

Seriously if I had a chance to leave this dimension or time or whatever and go back to that time and place, I wouldn't hesitate a minute...

[BoxStudioExecutive]

@EnterzNameEre Was a pretty violent time bro.

[Stektanudlar]

@BoxStudioExecutive Violent indeed but back then the world was still real. There was life, fear, joy, sadness and ultimately death in whatever order and form. Today is more abstract than even the wildest fantasy stories back then.

[EnterzNameEre]

@BoxStudioExecutive I think our time is at least the same violent, even if it's not before our eyes. We got nuke bomb and everything, you know, so if a real war would break out now, it would be about the destruction of the world. That's even more violent, actually

[Monstergenius1994]

I am ASIAN!

[mcgainey]

这么好听啊，有一天中国再是最繁荣的在世界上啊！ 中华万岁啊！共产党万岁！

[setucedark]

ağlıcam şimdi amk harikaaaaaaaaaaaaa yaaa süpperrr ötesi....

[barneeey]

@setucedark aynen :D

[Skitz0frenix]

Eargasm

[TheBell65]

WOW BEAUTY AT MY EARS>BUT FREE SPM

[PhaseDynamic]

does any one know the instruments in this song i love them so much they're beautiful

[doggylova678]

@PhaseDynamic I do believe one of them is called an "erhu". It's an ancient chinese instrument, which is a sort of violin, it's really quite beautifull. Apart from that, justt piano, violin.

[siahang]

@doggylova678  u listen wrongly...erhu is nt involve in it...is cello violin n piano...=)

[maleluca7]

a very sensitive song, awesome!

[jasons44]

bobby valentino - tell me

[quicktoforget]

remember its not, "they sold us a lie" but rather "we bought the lie"

[MihaelaRafieva]

Very Beautiful Song....!

[Stretchris]

This makes me want to change my life.

[lalsaksjdhfggggs]

@Stretchris its never to late. change it and live your dream. be as you always wanted to be

[LUMiNiZ1]

its 4 minutes and 20 seconds long?! time to smoke to this ;]

[Xgen91]

Now I totaly wanna go to china

[deQan007]

i am From albania....And I love the film and a greaat Cultur 

[blabberblabs1]

@deQan007 great culture bad government. Hate china's government

[deQan007]

@blabberblabs1

Yes this is very sad ... The government needs to change: (

I hope it changes soon 

[HappyBirthdaySANTA]

@deQan007 quit blaming the government. it's societies fault for reling on the government to make the decision for them... the government was designed to serve us, it's us who have aloud the government to control us. learn your human rights then the government will become a useful weapon to you!

[Albion105]

@deQan007 Bash mir

[aqvaice]

@deQan007 Hi! I have friends from Albania and we are living in Poland now. 4 albanians here with me.

[lildr9on]

I can listen to this all day.... when I listen to this, I closed my eyes and feels like I'm drifting away in somewhere faraway, sometimes deep in the forest, sometimes in an open meadow, back to the past..... It's true when they say music speaks louder than words.

[Aznriceboy89]

Thumbs up for the gorgeous AND splendid sceneries of CHINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrJfrie5]

This makes me want to cry.

[achinvincible]

fucking serene!!!!



[NefPerkele]

why would anyone dislike this song?:S

[MsSarahHello]

Does anyone feel like in a pastlife moved by this music ?

[minigin3]

@MsSarahHello no. i dont.

[datkid56]

@MsSarahHello :O

[GaryWeichannel]

@Emblemz yes, china has a very diverse landscape, i hope oneday you can have the chance to see it yourself

[SeventhDoorOpen]

is it how an erhu transform you into a floating feather?

[lesztat18]

at first i thought the instrumental of booby v's song and this one was just a coincidence, then i realized he sampled it..

[Evaese]

perfect song

[TheFawn13]

I was looking for this music because I found out that my favorite song was based on this melody, Ride it by Jay Sean. It's not so much similar but I really like this music and I'm definitely gonna see the movie, a.s.a.p. :)

[Himo18773]

love this 1

[DoinDMG]

If i had a soundtrack that played every second of my life, this would be played @ my funeral. Has a very deep and somber vibe but i love it

[VikingTerror]

If the true meaning of the word "sad" had a musical equivalent, this would be it.

[vietnam278]

Fuck china

Paracel island and Spratly Islands belong Vietnam

China getoff vietnam !!!

[scrtwpnx]

@vietnam278

i'm sorry, but china is too big and powerful for vietnam to matter...

i'm not trying to be racist or anything, but that's just how the world works

[haty01]

Communist destory the beautiful China.So sad like this soundtrack.

[Paparabb1t]

@haty01 What does politics have to do with this music? Democracy doesn't work everywhere and not all other forms of government are "evil" like our loving government has so passionately pounded into our heads.

[scrtwpnx]

@haty01 someone should've drowned mao when he made the highly publicized swim

[Nattielockx]

I don`t like violent movies but this is mos def one of my favorite movies. I totally forgot about the similarity I noticed in the movie and the Bobby Valentino song the first time I watched it.. I thought it was just me haha. I`m surprised that this is actually a song on it`s own but I am glad just the same. Thanks so much for putting it up! It`s so tranquil :)

[Seres1091]

As a Chinese, I must learn erhu

[KingTJ15]

everytime i hear dis song i think about the ending.....it was great cuz it sold the movie but sad cuz everyone died....well only about 1 or 2 people survived..

[gianka9574]

bellissimo grazie

[fa1ntglow]

Chinese invented the gunpowder only. It was originally used for fireworks.

[jukeria]

Bobby Valentino - Tell Me

[nebiru78]

its so high art sad song... i would pick it for my funeral

[jonnacdo]

This is... peaceful... I love the old chinese culture, dicipline and understanding for the world. All until everything was ruined by guns and machines...

[MegaIvan4e]

@jonnacdo yeas it's true :(

[jonnacdo]

@MegaIvan4e Yea.. :|

[jonnacdo]

@MegaIvan4e ... :)

[Tangren02]

@jonnacdo I agree, however, actually the Chinese invented fire arms (and used it in war) before the Westeners did, so they themselves were actually the ones that ruined it... ;)

[jonnacdo]

@Tangren02 Yea, but that was the government :)

[TheOnlyLuca]

@jonnacdo I so agree with you. I would like to live in old times too. Where people were dealing with life without guns n machines. All natural ......

[jonnacdo]

@TheOnlyLuca Yes.... Well said :)

[trubeauty9]

oh the beauty!!!

[grubyub]

this is shit. thumbs up if you disagree.

[MegaIvan4e]

@grubyub if you don't like you don't have to listen...My advise

[grubyub]

@MegaIvan4e evidently you missed my point....

[puzho]

just beautiful!!!

[bl0wg0at]

This song makes we want to learn the violin.

[Divinenite]

@bl0wg0at lol these chiense songs are played by chinese instruments, the string instrument used here is the erhu

[HimeBaezChan]

This song is amazing!

[Kadaj100]

i want to kill myself, but this is one of those songs which make me back to life

[blackfootjbd]

this is song of life and true. there is no life with out war. power runs the world, sad to see and its what we be human.

[blackfootjbd]

[johnsonrajkumar]

The violin piece is played by Itzak Pearlmen. Awesome. Great.

[kouxiongpeterhawj]

"Everybody sees what you seem to be, but few know who you really are"

[vampirehunteramanda]

Here is one American who is proud to say I adore listening to the music of other cultures. Magnificent! Absolutely haunting and beautiful score!

[DayDAy1005]

It gives meaning nd purpose.

And also the war nd da peace. It's showing that peace and love

is the answer nd nt war. I can't move on without dis song!!................

[GenuineSavior]

25 missed the dislike button, 1179 people that hit the like button, your good

[RickyBassist]

So relaxing, but so sad. It opens the horizons of human mind.

[Elsid1111]

Such beautiful music.

[AmericaRuinsYou]

erhu is very sad :(

[IAWushu]

@AmericaRuinsYou and also very difficult to learn as an amatuer :) i have that problem cause where i live, there are no erhu musicians, and the only erhu i've ever seen is the one i own.

[IAWushu]

@AmericaRuinsYou and also very difficult to learn as an amateur :) i have that problem cause where i live, there are no erhu musicians, and the only erhu i've ever seen is the one i own.

[yoguikaram]

[shapedbypalacios]

[Kankannan]

Wow, amazing! This beats "Tell me" any day. This is pure talent, no sampling, epic score and epic movie... great storytelling.

[daisydarling1992]

this is so beautiful, I never want it to end!

[qazo19]

holy fuck dude this song makes me feel like a chinese man!

[Kankannan]

@qazo19 More like ancient chinese WARRIOR! ;)

[DarkWraith]

Imagine a fighter in the UFC entering the cage to this music. His opponents would probably think he's a pushover...and then he either knocks them out or chokes them out in the first round.

[carnageRWL18]

Pendulum set me on fire!

[95MadHatter95]

It's a fantastic soundtrack and that's why I would like to know which instruments are used in this song in the order they blow. If anyone knows please answer me.

[mattmad]

@95MadHatter95 If im not mistaken, it belongs to the Huqin family of chinese musical instrument..

[95MadHatter95]

@mattmad thx i'll search more info boout huqin family

[jamjedynyy]

better version :)

[89deadlock]

i heard this song on a recent episode of naruto shippuden i remembered it was in a movie, so i tried for hours to find what movie i heard it from, so i had to go through all the sound tracks to every martial arts movie i had to find this song but it was worth it.

[THEUNDERTAKER4000]

epic

[pabokcan]

AWEZOME MUSIC, HERO RULES

[roundedhalo]

"sir, would you be kind enough, to play us another tune?"

[fetishify]

how elegant and beautiful, the hidden meaning behind the music is absolutely profound. Perfectly portrait an artistic conception and the beauty of the chinese art.

[artusization]

PEACE !!

[squinty666]

Deep film. influential music that appeals to the heart, mind and soul. Excellent all round.

[slimouz13]

I've seen lots of movies, and even if my favourites are the lord of the rings , avatar matrix before this one, this movie brings the most important meaning (to me)

Its that the only way to live on this planet is to live together... United on earth.

(but of corse nowdays we don't have to unite by war and conquearing ^^ even if some idiots still think it is he only way)

(sorry for the spelling... ^^)

[LechnefJeik27]

A thin, fragile leaf in a crisp and swift wind; where will the wind take it? That's how I feel about this song.

[ThnkHppyThghts]

@LechnefJeik27 And include a beautiful green lake somewhere in that scene and it's perfect :D lol

[4DTHINKER]

It is just pure quality stuff. I love Tan Dun's composition. It has so much depth and really shows that he put so much thinking and soul into them. You don't see many composers like that today. I have to the say we are in the lost decades of great thinkers and great learners. Tan Dun however never disappoint me from his Tiger and Dragon to Youtube Symphony. I am deeply touched by this very rare composer that can take me from a PC to thousands of miles with tears.

[celebrindal]

This is probably my favourite song, ever.

[liquidbokii88]

yall got to check out the liquid dnb version of this.its epic !!!

[kohstamojahn]

amazing. breath taking. inspired. thank you.

[Manuscrypt]

Isn´t it Yo Yo Ma who plays the violin or?

[iopweck]

@Manuscrypt Yo Yo Ma is a cello player.

[Manuscrypt]

@iopweck Yes, I know, I made a mistake, I am sorry.

[FlyingVneckSweater]

THIS IS AN AMAZING TUNE! I've seen the film a loads of times but i've seen the end credits more just from listening to this song over and over. and over..

A bit sad i know but you have to admire the elegance and beauty of this song..

10/10

[SamDaPsy]

Love this for the same exact reason. Thank you so much for the upload.

[MAORIATLAS]

HOW SWIFT THY SWORD!

[diularsing123]

This movie is really hard to understand, especially when you are not a chinese, but I just can't stop watching it..... EPIC movie, epic within the movie

[alwaysintrouble09]

does anyone know the title of the music that is played towards the end (in the Kings courtyard, and the final swordfight)?

[SamDaPsy]

@alwaysintrouble09 "Farewell, Hero" by Kodo, Tan Dun.

[alwaysintrouble09]

@SamDaPsy cheers! much appreciated

[SamDaPsy]

@alwaysintrouble09 Enjoy!

[mattmad]

@alwaysintrouble09 the last song,,is 'Hero' by Wang fei AKA Fave Wong...

[brittanywillard]

I made my mom watch it and she says she does not like movies about war or killing (wat-ever)anyway i made her watch it and she LOVED it she said there was a lot of meaning and lots of color in the movie witch I agree!!!!!!!!! Jet Li is one of my fav actors!!!!

[leegeorgeson]

He is not a bad actor considering he is primarily a martial artist :)

[ccrich100]

@brittanywillard Glad you were able to get your mother to overcome her film prejudice. War is part of humanity - best we learn from it...Hero has lots of symbolism and poetry...I have watched a few times...and it will always be a movie I can watch again...

[1anous]

great music

[12339JA]

FANTASTIC ! xx i loved this film, and soundtrack , xxx

[raneanubis]
