[mayola2007]

Loveeeeeee It!!!

[rajashraful]

beethoven 7th symphony!

[TiffanyJonas85]

love it!!!! and I agree both of them the best !!!!!!

[leakyspacesuit]

Sarah Brightman makes this song sound the way it was meant to be heard.

[ginny7676]

This song is in another movie that I watched recently...without the vocals. I imagine ti's quite popular, actually. I'm 24 years old and I've had the La Luna cd since I was about 13 years old...absolutely stunning and beautifully haunting.

[vinesnob]

This song is the italian lyrical translation of the German poem "Der Erlkönig" ("The Alder King") by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe set to the music of Beethoven's 2nd movement of his 7th symphony.

[separatethread]

Carl Sagan used it in Cosmos and it was (ab)used in "Knowing".

[candyshimata]

Basically the story of Die Erkönig - the Elf King.

[JayJMarshall]

[JayJMarshall]

@Damien3210 yeh man, it's an excellent film you should get round to watching it. shame it didn't get much notice when it came out.

[Damien3210]

@JayJMarshall I know what you mean, I didn't even know the film existed till now

[mariamagda57]

@JayJMarshall Maybe you're thinking about the movie Omen, or The Two Towers? Look at the side bar at different presentations, it may be the one you are thinking of:)

[JayJMarshall]

@mariamagda57 took me a while but i found it :)

/watch?v=iO0LYcCoeJY

[groovearmani]

@JayJMarshall Are you thinking of the movie The Fall (with Lee Pace)? It was featured in the trailer I believe.

[lefantomdelopera]

@JayJMarshall photographing fairies

[crazydemonphx]

@JayJMarshall the omen also popped in my head ... i cannot recall another movie

[shitoky]

@JayJMarshall it was in the movie "The Fall"

[ltonantzin]

@JayJMarshall The King's Speech; Beethoven's original Symphony No. 7 is played at the end when the King gives his famous speech. They've played it in the trailers and almost anytime they announce the movie.

[lealov]

@JayJMarshall from the movie Knowing stars nicolas cage

[Gneto8385]

@JayJMarshall

The film is THE FALL.

[Tenticklez]

@JayJMarshall It was in the Lord of the Rings

[ConTePartiro]

@JayJMarshall Zardoz wirh Sean Connery.

[megike55]

@JayJMarshall This is a random reply, but a string version of this song was played in the King's Speech, if you saw that. Dunno if it helps, but it's somewhere I heard it. :)

[NYCPANCAKES]

@JayJMarshall You might know it from the movie "Immortal Beloved", it was also used in the movie "The Fall" as well as its trailer (beautiful movie by the way).

[ITubeautiful]

@JayJMarshall, film "The fall", Tarsem Singh

[Gen1163]

@JayJMarshall You may be thinking of the Kings Speech aswell :)

[ditakyle]

@JayJMarshall In the movie "The Fall" its the main theme of the story

[SLisica08]

@JayJMarshall It was in the Knowing movie ;)

[QwertyUser1983]

@JayJMarshall look for the film called The Fall

[TheIrishcentaur]

@JayJMarshall It's used in The King's Speech during George V (Colin Firth)'s war speech near the end...maybe that's what you're thinking of?

[termaal204]

Maybe you heared at the King's speech (2010) and Knowing (2008) with nicolas cage.

[diabolikkk83]

bellissima...... e bellissimo il video! complimenti! :)

[chuchotarantino]

The King's Speech DIDN'T bring me here

[mil5674]

@celestinoenrique el italiano es mucho como el español

[GermanChocolateCake]

Haunting.

[jdaveyw]

I used to be lost. Until this found me...

[ryu8888]

@jdaveyw Draaaaaaaaawwwwww-muh

[jdaveyw]

I used to be lost. until this found me...

[Heyprinny]

The melody is lovely, the singing is amazing, Italian is a fitting language, the lyrics are slightly creepy.

[GermanChocolateCake]

@Heyprinny Adapted from a poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe called Erlkönig (Erlking or elf-king) who abducts or seduces travelers to their deaths (though certain versions of the myth indicate it is the elf-kings daughter who dooms men).

In Goethe's version it is the Erlkönig himself who preys on children.

[Rastling]

Is there any connection between this admirable song and Schubert's "Der Erlkönig" ?

[silent3pitaph]

Since I haven't seen this mentioned, the lyrics are based off of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Der Erlkonig.

[queenblurblab]

The music plus reading the english lyrics moved me to tears, ;u;

[FailureAsaNinja]

The lyrics remind me of Schubert's "Erlkonig."

[MzRevQ]

@FailureAsaNinja I was thinking exactly the same thing!

[NadineLuvs]

a Masterpiece

Well, I did not want to offend anyone, it was just a game joke to say.: Everyone takes their grief with dignity .. without causing suffering to others ...

Auguri a tutti.

[mariamagda57]

wamione...you did not offend anyone...we were curious as to what you wrote, that's all:) Remember...it's only a song....

[wamione]

Certainly did not want to offend anyone .. (do not know)

but sometimes the songs teach us something, Whether written spontaneously or with the heart .. Seems to have already lived in a dream .. (I remember a dream)

Coincidences ..

[mariamagda57]

@wamione ...I now understand what you tried to say from the very beginning...

[pasameare68]

Feliz cumpleaños 2009 Ludwig. Saludos desde Fresnillo Zacatecas Mexico

[mariamagda57]

I must admit...I imagined this song to have a totally different meaning! I guess ignorance was bliss... in my case:)

[Darkclone]

Every time i hear this song i keep thinking that theirs a story behind it

[1millionthsurvior]

@Darkclone this an adadptation of the Elf King,

which seem to describe the preditory act of an adult against a young boy,...as the boy and his father ride through the forest on their horese the Elf king tries to entice the boy,..the boy alls out top his father "oh father oh father hes trying to hurt me" the father dissmisses his sons plea, and finnally the Elf King gets to the boy and he kills him....not unlike the kind of preditory behavior we see today against children.

[CristianoLavander]

Yes there a story behind the song, i translated the lyrics and the meaning is kinda weird.. the father of the kid took him in the night & the king of the Elves touches the kid, and literally the kid get lost, if there is a message in the lyrics please someone let me know :(

[maraj021]

If you read European legends you'll find that there are many tales of the elves and fairies stealing away human children to raise them as servants or lovers. If you know that then the song makes sense.;D

[maraj021]

As for the lyrics, they are based on the poem "The Erlking" by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, better known as the author of "Faust".

[mcyjerry]

thanks! i've learnt something new! :D

[Noloon]

Actually, the child is very ill and his father is taking him to a doctor or someone to help him... and as they go through the night, this boy gets so weak, that he kindda starts halucinating. and this Elf king he sees is actually death... and though the Elf king is very kind at the begining and he invites the child to come and play, the boy is scared and he resists... but Elf king uses his powers (the sickness is too strong) and when the song says 'he's already lost', that means he died...

[RYS54]

...Duszyczko....potrafisz przemieszczać....pięknie....

[1947tatko]

Piękne Lucynko, to moje klimaty:)

[BKing1296]

I love Sarah Brightmans music, I went to see Symphony which was absolutly amazing! And yet, this song by far is my favorite of them all. Also, beautiful video. Job well done!

[mariamagda57]

Thanks BKing1296! I'm glad you liked it...as much as I love the second movement of Beethoven's 7th (the original)...this by far is my favorite!

[SBABJR]

Beethoven and Sarah are Amazing!
