The Land Before Time Soundtrack - Whispering Winds

[19BlueJuneBug19]

I really wish they would play this movie on cartoon network again......its been way too long

[Lunabeam1]

8 people are really fucking stupid. ALL HAIL DON BLUTH!! And JAMES HORNER

[TonoFonseca]

'The Land Before Time' is one of my favourite cry-to soundtracks. James Horner is genius.

Other cry-to soundtracks I love include 'Jurassic Park', 'Apollo 13', and 'Memphis Belle'.

[budman533]

8 people obviously never saw this movie

[WildDancer101]

Why would this title of this music be the same as the flute solo done by Michael Flatley?

[Endanamidnight]

@WildDancer101 Probably because Littlefoot's mother tells him about his heart whispering, and then the leaf she gave him arrives to him floating in the wind, and you can hear his mother's voice along

[Eyeglompyou]

It BAFFLES me that no oscar went to James Horner for this (Or An American Tale)

[TonoFonseca]

@Eyeglompyou

James Horner does not need an Oscar; he needs a canonisation.

[coolgal342]

This shows you how much we are missing. When I hear this, it makes me remember to hold my family close, and cherish the time we have together. Many forget to do that and later have regrets. Take this song to heart and hold your family dear.

[Natz6]

Anyone who doesn't feel the urge to cry at this has no soul... Such a beautiful sad film... I will always remember it. I am 20 now...and I will hopefully watch this with my children one day :')

[TonoFonseca]

@Natz6

Same. I'm 21, and I have not seen this movie since 2001 at the latest, probably earlier... James Horner is a future saint, if you ask me.

[zlkimagenX]

@TonoFonseca go watch it, it's still good 11 years later.

I'm 20

[TonoFonseca]

@zlkimagenX

I will once I am free.

[zlkimagenX]

@TonoFonseca never let the kid inside you die

[lolitsmatt]

6:03

[SuddenlyIseepickmeup]

That oboe solo at the very beginning gets me every time. :')

[ShawnHarrington2011]

The music and remembering this movie really pulls at your heart.. it still make me so sad for Littlefoot...

[87eissa]

I also agree with you all that it remembers me my childhood, even we are from different countries we still have the same feeling, im from Spain, this film is magical

[evulvd]

Definitely a soundtrack thats a cut above the rest when it comes to emotional impact. I'm 29 & I think this soundtrack is the most listened to music I have (my album collection is pretty huge & eclectic!), particularly this track. Its amazing how it represents so many peoples childhoods & our comments are all the same. You really cant help but well up & it leaves you feeling very warm, yet you feel a big loss too, even if you are lucky enough not to have lost someone special. Amazing piece.

[svenskmaktfinneslakt]

when i hear this i wonder why im still is alive.. its no point.. childhood is the only thing in life whats worth fighting for...

[Haley24x7]

@svenskmaktfinneslakt not true, life is always worth fighting for regardless if your a child or not, you can always keep that child-like innocence and every memory will be forever treasured. the reason to live is to laugh, love, and learn, this movie is a perfect example of that. and thats why ur alive... you werent put here for no reason, you just have to find that reason(:

[TCfoxs]

I'm sorry dad.

[911MRwtf]

(btw from Sweden here)

[911MRwtf]

I cry every time I hear this soundtrack :'(

it's soooo sad, but still beautiful <3

[sundowntohell]

@SidRulz100 yes and all over the world. i'm from germany.

[SidRulz100]

This is the part where Littlefoot's mom dies. Soooooooo many people cried themselves to sleep.

[johann2779]

the real lion king, except its a dinosaur and he isnt a king, and yeah the mother dies not the father.. still I think disney copied the story

[DinoHunter2]

@johann2779 umm... The Lion King is more like hamlet than the Land Before time; if anything, the land before time's story shares more in common with An American tail.

[johann2779]

@DinoHunter2 Its Jurassic Lion Tail

[DinoHunter2]

@johann2779 lol :P

[SynerJetics]

@DinoHunter2 I would say the Lion King is more like 'Richard the Third' than Hamlet...

[VincentsValentine99]

@SynerJetics Disney did draw inspiration from Hamlet, just like the second one if inspired by Romeo and Juliet. I

[theyuzutree]

@DinoHunter2 and in turn the lion king copies kimba >__>

[TurretObliterator007]

@johann2779 Let's just agree that both are great movies! :D

[VincentsValentine99]

@johann2779

XD Look up 'Kimba the White Lion' It's an oldish Japanese animated film. There's been huge controversary about The Lion King and this film and whether Disney copied from this film as there are many major similarities

[imagineerboi]

God, when I hear this music it sinks a knife into my heart. Its just so sad and heartbreaking yet gives me a massive nostalgia attack. Its just so powerful...

And when the dreadful day comes when my mom dies I can gaurentee this music will be playing in my head non stop..

[rephaim23]

This music is very moving, because the composer James Horner based most of it off the great Russian composer Prokofiev, some of them entire themes from the October revolution contata.

[retr0blue]

I've been avoiding this film and the soundtrack for too long.. I knew the day I'd come back to re-watch it and listen to the score, I wouldn't be able to stop crying... I was right. So many memories of my childhood.. the tears won't stop... It really does things to your heart...

[Blashbuck]

"I'll be with you. Even if you can't see me."

"What do you mean I can't see you? I can always see you."

"Littlefoot....let your heart guide you. It whispers...so listen closely."

[shinyjapaneseumbreon]

Omg!!!!! This was my favorite movie of all time. It makes me cry every time. :'{

[Haley24x7]

the only movie that isnt disney that makes me cry! (this and E.T. but still!)

[2012cloudy]

out of all the different land before time movies, this one was the best. it was dark, had great character development, and had an amazing sound track. for some reason i never really enjoyed this movie as a kid, but now its one of the best movies ive ever seen. i wish the sequels could have been great like this...then this would be the greatest movie franchise ever.

[Ratatosk19]

It is impossible for me to listen to this song without crying...

[MsCoocoohead]

5:04 favorite part!!!:D

[JumbaFan]

This part of the movie always makes me go through a box of tissues.  I've seen it so many times that I only need to hear the music and I have trouble keeping it together. Pretty song, though.

[squirl436]

this song popped in my head today while i was stoned surfing. and now i found it after searching and i am so sad/happy!!!!!! land before time kicks ass

[rossabo]

@squirl436

Wait, were you surfing waves while stoned, or surfing the net while stoned?

[Avesfox]

@rossabo

when stoned, you can do both.

[Ninjamonk343]

I hope to hear the music at 2:30 when I enter the Kingdom of Heaven and Behold His majesty.

[MasterOranda]

@Ninjamonk343 Me too :D See Him face to face.

[createajellybean]

R.I.P Katelyn, ur in my heart, my soul, my head and the only thing i want to do is too see u one last time :'(

[fiyero11]

This movie is my child hood.... Im 18 years old now and I still break down when Little Foots mom dies... I can imagine losing my mom... or anyone close to me.. My hearts goes out to those who have. <3

[stonenz111]

Where have I heard the very quiet notes at 00:30 before? It sounds so familier and haunting, did Horner use it elsewhere?

[cgsilverscreen2020]

8 people are too proud to admit that they have gone the wrong way

[Rodan16]

How in the hell did Horner not receive an Oscar nomination for this?

[MyHeadAsplodes]

@Rodan16 This song was even used for the Oscar ceremonies last year if my memory is correct!!!

[teqrevisited]

There's a lump in my throat and my eyes are watering, yet I'm almost laughing and I have no idea why. Nostalgia is a strange, strange beast.

[emmiedoodles]

7:17 </3

:'[

[MyHeadAsplodes]

I think that all of the kids of the 80s and early 90s will always associate this movie with the death of a close person. I remember seeing this movie as a child and it was the first time I thought " What if mommy dies? ". This movie shows that you have to stick with those who are good and confront those who are evil. It also explains that we're all different, not only physically but also in our minds and hearts but that through our differences, when we are united we complete each other. :'D

[MultipleScrotum]

@MyHeadAsplodes Amazing comment here! Beautiful.

[cgsilverscreen2020]

7:17 That is my childhood, right there.

[bigfootmaster1]

This series' soundtrack wasn't just good it was just better than it should have been. Get the chills listening to this song. Lots of sad scenes go perfect with this. Probably my favorite LBT song.

[broadwaygal87]

I will always think of my childhood in the 90's when I hear this beautiful piece : (

[TheCtownbrown16]

some of james horners best pieces but they go by the wayside because this is considered a "kids movie"

[TanBarbieGirlxox]

2:30

That is my childhood. It brings tears to my eyes.

[Blashbuck]

flamers, please. trying to relive childhood

[deadpool0634]

I'm crying so much that I'm running out of tears and I wish I could travel back in time to relive my childhoods

[Brightmist]

I have only ever seen the first and I will never see any of the others. I used to watch this with my mom when I was a baby, and she told me stories of how I would cry during the songs. When I got older, I hoped my momma would never die like Littlefoot's momma. When I turned 12, my mom passed away. I am now 16, and I will always hold this movie very very dear to me as long as I live.

[fanime1]

@Brightmist I'm sorry for your loss. I watched this movie with me family too. If you don't mind me asking, how did your mom die?

[jdfkopyu]

@Brightmist May your mother rest in peace, girl. ♥ ♥

[Mawwrc]

@Brightmist your comment made me cry irl =,( hope your mom rip

[ShawnHarrington2011]

@Brightmist THat's beautiful memory, and im sorry you lost your mother, she'd definitely be happy to hear the many ways you hold her memory.

[DetectiveTective]

@Brightmist I'm so so sorry to hear about that! D:

But yes, I too cried when these songs came up. God, I miss my childhood... The first movie made me cry because all I could think of was Littlefoot and how he was all alone with no one... and then I cried again when he found his grandparents! lol :'D

I've seen all the movies, but this song from the first movie was the best in my opinion!

[fecalinferno]

back when we all had something to believe in.

[Eyeglompyou]

AND this HAS to be the most underrated music ever.

[Eyeglompyou]

8 dislikes?? 8 people had no imagination as much as no heart.

[summerstarr882]

This soundtrack is ingrained into memories of my childhood. To the children who were born in the 80's and grew into our young adolescents in the 90's we were spoiled! What a moving masterpiece!

[gnarkillkicksass]

Well done, I am a 23 year old Australian guy who found this by chance. I have only ever seen the first one (as a kid) and I want to keep it that way, but I am teared up. Thanks..Bloody hell.

[Deathlawer]

T_T

[aurtis89]

James Horner, John Williams, Hans Zimmer and Ennio Morricone are the greatest movie composer ever !!

[halfpennyroh04]

@aurtis89 ahmen

[BornOfApocalypse]

James Horner poured an unbelievable amount of magic into this movie. The colors conveyed through his music and instrumentation are nothing short of perfection! An overwhelming flood of childhood memories come floating back into my heart when I listen to this soundtrack. I suppose that's the beauty of music . None of us may know each other personally, but clearly all of us (excluding a certain 6 individuals) have something we can relate too through the magic of films and childhood memories...

[TheCtownbrown16]

@BornOfApocalypse well said friend.. this defined part of my childhood

[Multineo5able]

U WILL CRY!!!!!

[pete1210able]

This should've gotten an oscar for best original score !

[pete1210able]

James Horner is a Genius !

[Multineo5able]

i love these movies im 15 and cant cry!!!!!

[Multineo5able]

y cant i cry DX

[Foxstream]

Well 6 people are cruel.... I loved Land before time. The first movie made me cry :(

[Bratspelet]

When Chomper leaves.. :')

[ElvenRaptor]

@badderfg They say there's an uncut version floating around in Denmark, somewhere. Not sure if the rumor is true, or not, though.

[bummer300]

chokes me up every time :(

[MrJohnlocke4]

Anyone know where I can download this song?

[wolfkiba1000]

I am 21 year, but i still like this movies...T^T THEY MAKE ME CRY!! It's such a great song but really really sad too!

[zombieecho]

6 DISLIKES?! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!

People don't know the meaning of life, childhood and happiness. ;3;

[Greyspirit13]

The conniption i had when my mom gave this movie away could have been a movie in itself. i was that devastated.

[KUR1SU]

This song always manages to bring tears to my eyes and send chills down my spine.

And yet it's just one of many things I love about this movie.

Seriously.. I hope people will always remember this classic and show it to their kids. Because it gave me so much. It gave me so much as a kid that stuck to me to this very day, where I'm 22 years old and will probably stick to me for the rest of my life.

It's also one of those movies that takes our kids seriously, unlike many other kids movies today.

[nigelo92]

My dog died two days ago :( Don't know why, but I came to listen to this song straight away, crying. It beautifully demonstrates the ups and downs of life. RIP chesney

[TheLadyYuki]

@nigelo92

I'm so sorry :(

[samandmrcheese]

If U R looking for a song that will make your eyes blast water harder than F.L.U.D.D. ever could, you've come 2 the right place!

[ArakDBlade]

I think I was 2 when this movie came out. I watched it some many time growing up, and still will if I catch it on TV randomly from time to time. When I really think back to this song, the scene in the movie, and the time of innocence I was living through during my earliest memories of seeing this movie, it really does get me a little choked up. That is the power of music.

[LillybethLilyLeah]

I tear up at this song, because it's so touching and because it takes me back to growing up in the 90's.

[johncstark79]

Oh my gosh this song makes me so sad and it hurts sooo bad! But I love it because it makes me so glad that God gave me a mom like He did!!! I remember running to her crying when I saw the scene where his mother dies, and the part where he chases his shadow and thinks it's her, man I don't deserve my family

[hurricanes4evr]

@johncstark79 well said my friend

[ilovegriffins1]

@Rodan16 Agreed.

[realjohnhammond]

Don Bluth made the best animated features of the 80's - I mean, look also at The Secret Of NIMH, these films were ambitious both in terms of score and animation. The colors, the painting, the revealing of light and the shades of darkness, the melancholic mood, the rain, the wind, everything is set in a very grown-up, still childish tone of feelings.

[Rodan16]

The 6 people who dislike this have no soul period

[blacknailgirl6]

Ya know, stuff like katy perry, lady gag and ke$ha thats music

this is art

[Honorificabilitudi]

@blacknailgirl6 Kesha? Really? No.

[ThomaliciousTV]

Can someone explain why this score hasn't received a Oscar nomination, I cant figure out why, because I thought this was even better than An American Tail, but this score hasn't received any award at all, please reply.

[Mbeauchemin01]

Ho mon Dieu. Absolument indescriptible.

[Tpeta]

I hate this movie so much because it's so sad when his mom dies and the music is just.... Ugh!! Every time when i would watch this movie and his mom would die I would always imagine if my mom died and would break down. I still break down when I watch this movie. ;~; It's cute I love it, I just hate that his mom dies. . . I mmiss my childhood.

[mancdani09x]

still makes me cry this...evn now im 25 and watch it with my own kids lol! love it xxx

[RedRum1110]

... Oh Gott, tiefste Kindheit =)

[Emper0rH0rde]

Why is the music in this movie so sad? The movie itself isn't *that* sad, so why is the music so heartbreaking?

[jlf2032]

@Emper0rH0rde It's a Don Bluth movie. The man specialized in heartbreaking. what do you expect?

[Emper0rH0rde]

@jlf2032 Well, Titan A.E. wasn't all that depressing.

[MrWilliamShakesphere]

Powerful

[Cassiebug103]

Im trully blessed that i have watched this childhood movie. It taught me alot from being a great friend like Ducky , realizing its ok to be scared like Sarah, breaking out of your shell like Spike and learning to become independent like Pretree and above all being a great  friend like Little Foot. So yeah i kinda felt like i was there with them from the beginning to end always and forever.

[Nayerianimelvr]

Mother: I'll be with you, even though you can't see me.

Littlefoot: What do you mean, if I can't see you? I can Always see you.

Mother: Littlefoot, listen to your heart, it whispers, so listen closely.

[ALIENxenomorph100]

Ah...

This song was my childhood. I cannot describe the way it makes me feel. :')

[Numanom]

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written! :')

[28crucis]

goodness... there are actually people who dislike this. What KIND of people are they??

[bummer300]

this music makes me cry. I have such an emotional connection with this film.

[da0boogie0man0slayer]

pure beauty

[Shurryy]

6:06 on out...

This part is so emotional to me, I was three... Sitting in front of the TV, watching this film with an expression of awe on my face, and all I could feel was pure joy...

This is awesome.

[matt06m]

@Shurryy Same thing !

I want to re watch this movie <3

[23brittneyg]

This is my childhood. I cannot even explain to you how many memories just shot into my mind, as well as tears into my eyes.

[ElvenRaptor]

Now I know I have a heart, because its breaking just listening to this.

[Eyeglompyou]

I know I have a heart cause it's breaking =')

[7781kyle]

Wow. All my emotions are threatening to break the surface of my mind. Absolutely lovely, One of the films that I loved most as a child. Even now it still moves me.

[Rodan16]

Yet another reason why I'm glad I was a 90's kid

[PowerRauchi]

Those first 42 seconds feel like uncertain eternity, yet you feel sheltered...very hard to describe... it just sets you in a mood of unknown expectations...

[koppsr]

first film i ever watched alone in the cinema, i ll never forget it or the music and never the feelings i had, listening to this :) showed it to my daughter and she loves it^^

[Danish333]

This makes me cry without fail.

[jjeessssiiccaaxx]

I LOVE THIS MUSIC!!! it reminds me of my childhood!!!! I was so lucky to be a kid in the 90s!!!!!!!!! thank you so much for uploading this!!!!!!!!! ^_^

[jamoe007]

5 people are going to hell i think...

[CaptainCrunchOwns]

@jamoe007 Hahahaha

[bijoukaiba]

I always loved the motif (right term?) of the choir at 2:29 - 2:42... it conveys... wonder, hope, sympathy, understanding, empathy, and probably more... I just can't think of the right words. To sum it all up -

Indescribable.

[Artictoc]

The music makes the movie a 10/10 on its own.

[disneylover797]

James Horner is a genius.

[heero171]

6:50 :""(( When Little Foot sees his shadow and thinks its his mother

[Merhianblade]

God Damn, I can't help but cry when ever I here this music. I watched this movie many times when I was little. And everytime I hear this my mind takes me back to those happy times of my childhood :'(

[ChaoBreeder051491]

Can people SERIOUSLY fight on a song like this.....I go through the comments and see yet ANOTHER pointless banter on Youtube...all I can say is.....This song?!?! Really?!?!

I always thought if maybe more people listened to music like this there will be world peace but I've been wrong before O.o

[DinoHunter2]

@ChaoBreeder051491 Wow... I didn't think that people were waging flame wars, in THIS video 0.o

[supercoolbrian]

@ChaoBreeder051491 Music is clearly not the cause of man's depravities.

[ChaoBreeder051491]

@supercoolbrian

This score has super powers.....it reduced me into a weepy mess. If a song can have so much pull over me I have a hard time comprehending that there could BE a fight.....hey that's just me though. Just because I think this song is beautiful doesn't mean everyone does.

[LukeDallert]

@ChaoBreeder051491 I absolutely agree with you! I think this song is pure beauty and I can't believe that if violent people hear this song they don't collapse and cry cause the song touches their souls and change something in their minds. It explains something you can't find words for doesn't it?

[ChaoBreeder051491]

@LukeDallert Exactly......yet if I were to show some of my closest friends this song, they won't understand. Some people have such an aversion to classical/orchestral music because it is outdated; some people only enjoy the "music" they have out nowadays because they're SUPPOSED to like it. I'll just go against that norm and listen to what I want to, thank you very much.

[LukeDallert]

@ChaoBreeder051491 Yeah, that's the same position that I defend. I listen to so much music that isn't understandable for my friends and people in my region. I love classical and orchestral music cause it touches me ...and I have to cry when listen to "whispering winds" by James Horner. I don't let the media decide which music I have to like. The most people don't have an own opinion but I do. You're cool, I hope there are more people like you :)

[hellokitty00123]

im speechless at how perfect this music is...

[petlover72704]

amazing! when I was eight this was the movie I couldn't get enough of. just hearing the theme again sends chills down my spine. youtube is incredible, where else can u "go back in time"?

[rotobah]

BEAUTIFUL

[Tiifa90]

where is all the time?... 

[DeadStarsShine]

Makes me a better man.

[oliversmillie4]

this track reminds me of Judith Barsi (sniff) 

[evilemperordude]

Far better than all those crappy songs that plague the rest of the series.

[scrainbow1234]

0:43 - 1:32 means more to me that I could ever explain.

[elmo10071]

@scrainbow1234 I couldn't agree with you more.....

[oscarpc]

@scrainbow1234 brings back childhood memories... I remember I would always cry during this one scene because of the song and what was going on

[YoshiDundee01]

I feel your pain Littlefoot.

[LoneSola]

i remember one of the cutest parts of the movie was when those little birds were fighting over the one cherry, but then they all got one from their mother, and then the last little bird saw that Littlefoot was sad, and so he offered it to him, but he wouldn't take it.... :') .... this movie was sooo good..... i'm making sure my kids grow up right!

[NotTooWellKnown]

and like all other good don bluth movies, this series went down the crapper. Still though... hearing this brought a tear from childhood out

[debrribrri]

;_; i cry all the time, since I was a child....

[TelvanniGuard]

You go without Petree?

[TheVillta]

@TelvanniGuard Petree! I Love him! :')
