Cowboy Bebop OST 1 - Memory

[Summer7629]

I can barely listen to this without tearing up...

[Summer7629]

I can barely listen to this without breaking down..

[Diakoneo1226]

Why do all the best animes (besides naruto) end after, like 25 episodes?!

[SwiftDurka]

@Diakoneo1226 that's most likely what makes them good. long drawn out shows like bleach etc get tiring to watch. really easy to lose interest in a show that has no end in sight. milk that cow!

[kirklandfoodwrap]

@Diakoneo1226 If the likes of Naruto and Bleach had ended earlier, they would have been good. Compare Part 1 Naruto and SS Arc Bleach to their current incarnations. Massive difference in quality. If Bebop had been stretched out to 300+ episodes, its quality would have fell off a cliff.

[ALEXisSPANISH]

I...didn't want this to end.

[yellopanda]

The day you die is the day you wake up. The day you stop dreaming, and can start... living. Bang.

[yellopanda]

think about the happiest and saddest moment in your life. this song is the embodiment of that feeling.

[MizzaBuhb57]

someone make an extension of this song

[117Nio]

Makes me think of Old Friends. Here's to what you can never get back.

[gosiman]

Amazing series, amazing music.

Check out my cover version of Memory at my channel.

n_n

[Knoyes93]

I'm feeling a little creeped out by this, I need to put it in a playlist somewhere.

[kasiagutry]

i made a music box with this melody

[brodeurrules3029]

 D:

[Animefreak242]

This tune is beautiful, but I can't help but make the connection to the show. Ugh... It's so sad.

[theonlyred4]

@Animefreak242 There's nothing sad about connecting it to the show. Cowboy Bebop is brilliantly written and animated. It's art.

[Animefreak242]

@theonlyred4 I love 'Cowboy Bebop', but the series was incredibly depressing. Every time I think of this song, I think of the scene, Spike's flashback, and of his horrible past. That's what I meant as "sad". You don't make that connection?

[theonlyred4]

@Animefreak242 Yeah, I can accept that. The way you wrote that comment, it sounded like you were criticizing yourself, like saying it's sad that you connect a song to a show

[Animefreak242]

@theonlyred4 Never! I loved this show. It saddens me that so few measure up these days.

[xXGhost3307Xx]

Where can I find the version with vocals "My love for you burns deep its suddenly so strong" like at the beginning of ep25

[itschelliexd]

@xXGhost3307Xx the song your thinking of is 'Adieu' by The Seatbelts

[xXGhost3307Xx]

@itschelliexd precatiate it man!! this has the same melody though...i wonder why they gave it a completely different title?

[NameTaken1191]

@xXGhost3307Xx Well, it plays in spike's flashback (maybe) as the 1st thing in the series. It's also a version of 'Adieu' as has been said. Adieu is kind of like a theme for julia or spike+julia

[DVON2211]

I come to listen to the music and look at everyone else's memories in the comments :)

[Animeality]

@DVON2211 hopefully that's all anyone should have to read here. Everyone's memories all coming here to be... remembered.

[DVON2211]

@Animeality Yep, and some of them are amazing!

[Cesariono]

This melody with Rainymood. Holy fuck.

My heart wasn't ready.

[Animeality]

@Cesariono nobody's heart was ready.

Not Manowar, not Galactic, and especially not Tony Stark. -_-

[BadCop18]

This will be played at my funeral

[doc2skate]

JULIA: It was raining that day as well...

SPIKE: You didn't come because of the rain?

JULIA: I was supposed to kill you. That day if I had killed you I would have been free.

SPIKE: So why didn't you? Why did you choose to be pursued?

JULIA: Why did you love me? Let's just run away somewhere. Truly escape from this world and go where no one else is...Just the two of us....

[TMBGTransformer]

I remember hearing this song when I started watching Cowboy Bebop... it was the first song that played in the series. The lulling melody was so haunting, playing over a montage of scenes I knew would have meaning as the series progressed.... I was completely intrigued, wondering where Bebop would take me...

And then Tank! started out of nowhere and scared the s*** outta me.

But really, this series has probably the best music ever. Yoko Kanno is a musical genius!

[wabaretaki]

Cowboy bebop and Samurai champloo. Both have the greatest anime soundtracks of all time. ALL TIME!!!

[sucmylefnut]

waves over..."You sing off key."

[WilliamPor1]

dang



[Qiaoa]

This is incredibly beautiful.

[joeownzu123]

Greatest Anime of all time imo. Man whenever I hear the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, especially Memory, it brings me back to the 90's when I was a kid. Times were so much better than, miss them so much. Bring tears to my eyes remembering this...

[oatfarls]

Yes

[Yuusha09]

Stewie Griffin by Logic samples this song in the very beginning. More and more rappers seem to use Cowboy Bebop's music.

[QuebecElegy]

This song makes me want to shed tears.Perfection in every way imaginable, even if this is just a dream, atleast i have this song to listen to.

[gqgqqt]

It's all just a dream.

[bboyblacksheepable]

the second the video plated the last few minutes of the final Cowboy Bebop episode a instantly flashed through my mind. i had to force the tears back.

[whitekiller007]

wow so many memories with this song/series, i not emo but i love it when it use to rain n i hear these songs it made me feel good.

[teamramrod27]

Most epic shot in anime of all time = Spike lighting up cig to this song

[MeSezSo]

Living is much more hell than dying.

[BadCop18]

@MeSezSo No sir, life is what you make it.

[MeSezSo]

@BadCop18 no u r wrong. life makes u do what you hate when you want to do is what u love. end of conclusion, you will understand when u get older.

[Animeality]

@MeSezSo and please don't be such a narcissistic bore. I was almost convinced BadCop started the argument.

This reminds me of so many Youtube arguments where the person with the ability to spell correctly was usually being an apathetic, arrogant jerk, and a bunch of "NO SPELL CHECK FOR ME" fanatics run campaigns against them. It's sort of the opposite here.

[MeSezSo]

@Animeality who the fuck are you and what the fuck are you talking about? gtfo.

[Animeality]

@MeSezSo I'm fucking Lou.

Who the fuck are you?

[MeSezSo]

@Animeality That is unlikely because it's more like you getting fucked by that dragon on your profile pic.

[MeSezSo]

@BadCop18 and obviously what i meant was more than you think and that until u still get older u will understand what i really meant.

[BadCop18]

@MeSezSo lol son, im 35 years old don't give me your teenage drama depression spill, one day when you get older you will understand hat lifes about when you have a a family a wife and a son or daughter, not some highschool hussy, life is what you make it, if you want it to suck then it shall.

[MeSezSo]

@BadCop18 35 and talk like a 12 year old? "depression spill"? yup sure. you chose YOUR route, now don't be making mine. i don't need a "wife" a "son" or "daughter" that's if i only WANT to but i don't need it to experience the "REAL life". there's no such thing as real life. obviously if you were older you'd understand a person IS what they're. didn't you ever heard of "he/she is what he/she is"?.

[BadCop18]

@MeSezSo Must of hit a button there boy, besides i'm not a English teacher nor the smartest book out there, and you obviously haven't lived much of your life in the first place so that already tells me your another teenager that life is just so terrible for, well look buddy your parents obviously take care of you, you must eat everyday bathe everyday goto school everyday, have a computer to sit on, is life really that bad cause your highschool girlfriend left you?

[BadCop18]

@MeSezSo get real buddy comeback to me when your life is really that terrible even kids in 3rd world countries are happy to be alive, besides have you ever died? so you know dying is better than living? lol..

[MeSezSo]

@BadCop18 oh im sorry, you butthurt? just seem like when i say something that makes sense gets you ticked off. not everybody is going to agree with you "buddy" yeah i'm sure you're in third world country knowing people are just happy while you type on your computer on your cozy chair able to smack on the keyboard disagreeing with me. see that? im right again.

[BadCop18]

@MeSezSo I didnt necessarily disagree with you, your just naive and i respect that, we all we're confused teenagers a some point of life, one day you'll understand my friend but argument ends here i enjoy this song and the cowboy bebop series, and i didnt know i we where proving a right or wrong, i wouldn't go to far to contradict yourself.

[MeSezSo]

@BadCop18 you fail sooo badly. you proved how ignorant you're. end of conversation child.

[BadCop18]

@MeSezSo lol child?i am not lying of my age, cause i like anime i'm a child? get real kid try stalking someone else ;p, nice try though i feel sorry for what a case you must be, your parents must be ashamed. "kid" end of the story.

[MeSezSo]

@BadCop18 "i am not lying of my age"? wow nice im learning much more from you. its okay child, you're what you're.

[BadCop18]

@MeSezSo haha did i piss you off?

[MeSezSo]

@BadCop18 wow no comment oh wait i commented. stop talking child.

[BadCop18]

@MeSezSo if living is so much more hell than dying, than go get a gun put it in your mouth, pull the trigger, and shut the fuck up :D

[MeSezSo]

@BadCop18 oh are you still mad because my comment actually make sense to others but you? grow up kid.

[BadCop18]

@MeSezSo lol? i didnt notice any others in the conversation, to see that you care about what others proves your the child bud.

[soJellyman]

@BadCop18 Idiot.

[MeSezSo]

@BadCop18 i don't know how long you're going to be obnoxious but u can stop pretending to be like your 78 and giving a shit about it obviously you're because if you were not then you wouldn't keep replying.

[Animeality]

@MeSezSo this is a place of reflection and memory.

Please settle your conflict like rational adults elsewhere.

[Animeality]

@BadCop18 this is a place of reflection and memory.

Please settle your conflict like rational adults.

[MeSezSo]

@BadCop18 btw nice lie about the age. i see that you enjoy commenting on most animes like naruto and fat youtubers.

[nightcrusher90]

@MeSezSo You gonna carry that weight... ; /

[MeSezSo]

@nightcrusher90 See you later, space cowboy...

[TheRogueVocaloid]

@MeSezSo Bang.

[solidus2009]

this is a different version of 'adieu' isnt it? sry if i'm abit late there...

[MrLunitunz]

@solidus2009 It is. It's not immediately obvious, Adieu is a vocal song with a piano accompaniment and this is like a music box. But it is.

[Calenthedestroyer]

I want a music box that plays this.

[fraserfj]

The last note breaks my heart.

[Guitarguy1121]

The work which becomes a new genre in itself, will be called Cowboy Bebop.

[jwbrough1]

i keep thinking that mr rodgers is going to walk into the roomn

[mikhailstewart]

i remember watching a dumb review that was talking about Bebops music.. and they said that this was not the music they expected hearing in the beginning of the series... they was expecting to hear something loud and up beat... but what they fail to understand this show isn't a shounen... its audience is way more intelligent..... putting together this ... is art!

[NameTaken1191]

@mikhailstewart Tank! wasn't upbeat?

[ArmLegGamer]

@NameTaken1191 Yes, it is, but this plays before Tank! in the first episode, so this would be the music the reviewer was referring to at the beginning of the series.

[HardyRStudios]

If Billie Holiday was a music-box, then this song would be her.

Yoko Kanno, we say thanks for bringing the masterful and distinct sound, style, and flavor of Jazz and Blues into such a masterful anime.

[Izz2biiz]

...See You, Space Cowboy.

[CircularMedia]

@MindfulPerson Yes it's kind of like one, but in the story it serves a different purpose.

[MindfulPerson]

;_;

Isn't this like a lullaby?

[knotwrite]

This, this right here, is what anime is supposed to be.

[JoshWeasley]

"I'm not going to go die, I'm going to see if I'm still alive."

[MightyMartel]

These theme just rips my heart out. This series is larger than life.

[SpiteBellow]

hahaha.... i can see the rose getting brighter...

[slickmonmon13]

Ah Spike you gave the coolest Aesop ever in "Toys in the Attic"

Rest in Peace buddy

[Thisismyfirstopinion]

Add this to "songs to listen to in the rain"

[phantomwriter05]

Bang ...

[MrSuperman216]

Only Toonami

[RandomGuy1994]

I gotta admit, yes, endings should be inevitable. You can't keep a show just going on and on just because it makes money, but i think a lot of people agrees with me when i say that 26 episodes is way too few.

[KuichikiByakuya]

@RandomGuy1994 I disagree in that Cowboy Bebop has a relatively decent number of episodes for an anime. Not too short but not too long. its in the sense that Cowboy Bebop has allot of episodic episodes, and just a few that are about the main plot it only needed so many. FMA needed 51 because it had multiple story arcs (Not to say that is bad) Unfortunately I do believe there are some shows out there definitely that keep going just for the money, like Pokemon or Bleach.

[EvilBlackComet]

@KuichikiByakuya: dont forget naruto, one peice, and dragonball... (shutters)

[BOHGuts]

theories*

[serenevil7]

When I saw the show I felt like god watching life.

[TheImmortal115]

SEE YA SPACE COWBOY...

[MichaelWeber5237]

I want this music box, it will play every night for my future children...

[Billy145891]

The music box is broken, or is it? It starts to play and a haunting tune fills the air, I awake suddenly for my dream, there is no music box, and yet there it is a tiny one nestled in my hand and I awake from my dream again as if I were peeling an onion. It's a dream no matter how far I go, I can never reach reality, trapped in an endless nightmare.

[death7800]

aww julia

[avh129]

Bang.

[wnba131]

@avh129 *sniff* what a great ending.

[avh129]

Stay Golden.

[Twitboy3000]

@avh129 Bang....

[FRIEDEATH]

@avh129 wrong story bro XD

[HANKaccount]

I remember this playing when spike has his flashback.... :( it makes me sad.. when u listen to this.. and  watch spikes death at the same time...

[KiroToru]

DENIS' FINAL BLOW?!?!

[Twitboy3000]

A great love is a lot like a good memory...

[SirFragal0t]

Man! What a way to set up a great anime series! And then boom your hit by "tank!"

[TheBebop51]

When I saw the series opening for the first time, when this cut into Tank it startled the hell outta me.

[Krenisphia]

@TheBebop51 That first time, yes I remember it too.

[1johpo]

spokidoki

[TheCrafterMan]

There is just so much in so little. The simplicity is Incredible!

[inukaiversus]

See you space cowboy...

[AriasValor3]

Just close your eyes and listen.

[hazardousreality]

I cry every time I see the end of Cowboy Bebop.

[MrPoliticalpuppet]

@hazardousreality  "bang..."

[89Valkyrie]

@hazardousreality yeah, every episode was great; but together the plot completely collapses, leaving many questions unanswered. The end was horrible not in itself, but in how there's no closure to anything about the show.

[TheeBlackLlama]

@89Valkyrie for me thats what made it great. I think if it had closure where everyone found what they were looking for it woulda just ruined the whole feel of the anime.Some things never get answered. Makes them all characters that really came alive too.

[JackOFBlades111]

@89Valkyrie Will all the answers in your life be given?

[Cesariono]

@89Valkyrie The ambiguity of it all is part of what makes the show so great though. For decades to come, people will watch this show and discuss Cowboy Bebop.

[lalalala4231]

00:00

[Killbore1]

Hit this when the song is over 00:07

[Killbore1]

Where can I get a music box that plays this? Really.

[Superseadragon]

I'm crying now. I have to take a smoke people. Live your dreams or crash and burn.

[Thisismyfirstopinion]

Love this song... Brings to mind memories... One of my favorites...

[MyDERPMAN]

See you later Space Cowboy..... BANG~

[Kitth3n]

I remembered this show from when I was little but was too young to really remember much of it or understand it, I recently got the show, best decision i've made in a long time

[ScriggleScraggle]

When I finished this series, I felt as if I was actually there with the characters. I cried at the end. It felt odd when It ended cause I was so drawn in that I almost forgot that it was an anime >.<

[anontrolo]

what sane person dislikes this?

[AMClarke104]

666 "i like"

[BoxerBeBop]

This show changed me. I was 16 and it gave me a push in the right direction. I just wouldnt be the same without it.

[lalalala4231]

ADIOS, SPACE COWBOY

[promethues5]

If I'm ever in need of some tears I know where to go.

[Enkazed]

This tune sounds so much like it's meant to go on forever that I'm afraid of NOT replaying it again and again.

[TheProxy9]

thats why they call me the black dog... i bite and i don't let go... -Jet

[LysergIY]

@TheProxy9 shut up. "i'm the black do blah blah blah" idiot

[shazzaman1]

then i send her this beautiful song

the night of my life

[13johnnyemo]

the only show to ever seriously make me cry.. this wasnt a show, it was a work of art, something that deserves serious recognition. it was amazing.. beautiful..sophisticated..seri­ous, poignant, profound and undeniably emotional even in the most subtle of ways.

[FRIEDEATH]

@13johnnyemo truer words have never been spoken.

[sephirothfromff7]

@13johnnyemo Check out One Piece!

[13johnnyemo]

@sephirothfromff7 eh, i watched a bit of the american version..it wasnt really my thing, too childish maybe? idk lol sorry, but thanks for the suggestion :)
