Shawshank Prison Stoic Theme (The Shawshank Redemption)

[askull23]

Shawshank Redemption is one of the best movies ever 

[MK5Spartan666]

Thank you for uploading this amazing piece :)

[SpYDer769]

0:18-0:28 gives me chills

[ReklawRemix]

Thomas Newman's score made this movie!! 10 nominations and he still hasn't won an oscar. seriously academy, get your fucking act together.

[TheLemonGoldBrick]

@Pretty much everyone, there's something called "having an opinion", and everyone's allowed to have one. Move on, okay?

[smoothymcgyver]

I love Forrest Gump, don't get me wrong. But This kicks way more ass!

[TheJayEffkay]

too amazing

i was actually speechless after watching this - amazing film, and this music was SO haunting

[musicsoothesusall]

@TheJayEffkay

THOMAS NEWMAN'S MUSICAL GENIUS LEAVES AN IMPRINT ON YOUR MIND, THOUGHTS, SOUL & SPIRIT...THE MUSIC SETS THE STAGE FOR THE MOVIE...CANNOT HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER...

[clockiminator]

My favorite movie of all time, along with Goodfellas, The Matrix & Donnie Brasco. Truly a masterpiece ! Nowadays movies are made full of effects and bullshyt stories just to make the people go to the cinema and spend their money. I miss the old times.

[greg67101]

@clockiminator

not true.... Inception is a very good movie with lots of good sound effects...

BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BODDA BOM BOM BOM BOM........................

[clockiminator]

@greg67101 open your eyes, INCEPTION is BULLSHYT, PURE MENTAL MANIPULATION.. you people are blind, get brainwashed easily lol..

[MisterX731]

@clockiminator I agree, Inception uses beautiful art such as its music to convey a sinister message. The Shawshank Redemption on the other hand uses beautiful art to complement its powerful message.

[clockiminator]

@MisterX731 if I had to chose 1 movie, that i could watch every single day until the end of my life.. sacrificing all other ones for it.. this would be the one to choose.. it always inspires me how a man can go against all odds and come out winning at the end.. but in such a realistic & beatiful way, that it isn't boring or slow at all.. big luv to this movie !

[greg67101]

@clockiminator DID YOU FORGET TOY STORY 3 TOOO????

@MisterX73

Remeber that the world has been surrounded by sinister for ever???

You can see the same in animals. Like the deadly mother wolf kills a doe and drags its carcass back for the baby wolf cubs....... the cycle goes on...

[believeinjeans95]

7 people liked Forest Gump Better

[god0bless0the0uk]

It... the most trumatising movie ever!! Stephen King has a weird mind

[TootsMcToot]

Genius by Thomas Newman!!

[bigthingisling]

Andy Dufresne...the man who crawled through 500 yards of shit and came out clean on the other side.

[AnimeJunkey71]

Best song of all of them



[redfoxbennaton]

This is epic.

[assassinofcydonia]

This music is incredible! I remember watching this movie for the first time and paying more attention to the music rather than the film! It's a beautiful score.

[thomasjasonperry]

The sound conveys confinement. As for me, i spent "time" inside so i speak the truth.

[LilacStar82]

@thomasjasonperry Cool. Did you get porked?

[lelouchh1]

@samoabull

Use firefox, then you'll never have ads ;)

Great song!

[FlaminChuros]

my bet's on the tall drink of water, silver spoon up his ass.

[thomasjasonperry]

fits this movie perfectly...feel the strength in Andy Dufrain

[ChopstickBrando]

@thomasjasonperry Yes. Solemn strength.

[tarheelred28390]

I love this song!! This song was also used on First Time Felon w/ Omar Epps & Treach. In First Time Felon, they played this song but a longer version. I love it man!!!!!1

[kidrites]

@57: Ev'body have a good look at 'dat tall drink of water's ass!

[kingofawosmeness777]

"Get busy living, or get busy dying. Thats damn straight." - Red

[xLizzieLautnerX]

if you aren't touched by this song then you should be worried..

[Elephiant]

"Fear can hold you prisoner.

Hope can set you free."

[AnimeTV100]

I haven't listened to an ad in a long time I instantly mute them and then come back 15 - 30 seconds later. sorry advertisements don't work on me.

[Indeed999]

I got shivers

[xXChaoticxGamingXx]

perfect film.

[Daaannns]

Sends tingles down your spine, on the movie when the camera flies over the Shawshank.

[vonfandango]

Thomas Newman, a modern day prophet to the soul!

[jadoremontreal]

I love Thomas Newman! His writting is unusual. I'm in love with the cello at 1:16

[drummerboy955]

Alot of soundtracks of movies determine if i wanna see a movie.

[jeffcna]

I love this song. I always wished i had the knack to play Violen

[LevelHeadedWorld]

very inspirational movie i loved it

[ryanmshepard92]

Even if this movie had sucked, the music alone would have saved it.

[xXDeadlyEyeXx]

6 people were born deaf

[69kowalczyk69]

Très jolie sont

[delta1O5]

Mmm great musical score.

[filipkgsrbija]

Morgan Freeman has the greatest voice ever

[TheLostGypsies]

awesome song for an awesome amazing movie

[cbruce1971]

Jesus H. Christ in a chariot-driven sidecar...a rapper over the top of this? Why don't we wipe our asses with it and set it on fire for fuck's sake?

[scrappy64]

@madamewho - The movie is based on the story Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank redemption. A short story in the book Different Seasons.

[KingJoker1324]

this movie should had came out after forrest gump atleast... would have been the most grossing film ever besides batman

[Ryanbadboy95]

lol watched this for first time lat week watch 4 times since then quality film

[Mrslykid1992]

Such a harmonic beat and it would be better if this melody stay as it is. Without words is good enough.

[trickester5]

this and the green mile were 2 movies which were nearly exact copy of the books, both written by Stephen King, both directed by Frank D. BOTH AWSOME!!

[ugz101]

This movie deserves A LOT more credit, its just too bad it came out the same time as Forrest Gump, its just not fair

[james757live]

@ugz101 At least it's on the top 250 list on IMDB at #1, last I checked anyway.

[ReklawRemix]

@ugz101 im not the biggest fan of either films, but i have to say shawshank redemption deserved best picture way more than forrest gump.

[pie579]

I want to make a badass hip hop remix of this melody

[xXChaoticxGamingXx]

@pie579 u can imagine a rapper over the top of this, wud be so good.

[pie579]

@xXChaoticxGamingXx that would be so dope, this is one of the best melody's ever in my opinion.

[AZBound3]

Powerful music for a powerful film!

[btp2910]

absolutely beautiful music. awesome movie. :)

[navmk4gti]

is there longer version of this?

[391515]

F THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE THIS

[ForcaConcordia]

@391515

They're just justin bieber fans, ignore them.

[LexeconKiddo]

This is my FAVORITE piece of music in this film (anyone else spot Newman within 2 scenes of "Nemo"? I couldn't find this elsewhere, thanks SO much for posting. I am currently charged in a case where I am charged with battery though I HAD THE CRAP BEAT OUT OF ME. I want to change my fucking name. Andy Dufresne suits me just fine.

P.S. I didn't get 'Diversion' because I didn't LIE!! If I'd have lied, I'd be free & clear. There are lost of Andys out here.

[TheAirsoftguy0111]

greatest movie ever made enogh said

[poooooopuuuuuu]

Magnifique musique !

[Kornikus87]

Amazing theme, it has everything, emotions of fear, sadness, drama, relief, freedom ...

[thisismyusernamemang]

I bought the soundtrack years ago basically for the two minutes posted here. Awesome.

[SkateConneticut]

i love this song

[edaoth2]

That's the best movie I've ever seen , and i love this song !

[Owneador1337]

@PetetheJazzMan That must be fucked up. If I ever find a book called "Twilight and Computer Science" I'll kill someone.

[scorchedsound]

For info on the Shawshank Prison and the movie go to shawshankprison . c o m

[BadGamer01]

@ProviderMR

You're 100% right!This film made 1993 so this is not very old,but very very great movie!

[D0nutJ03]

I get chills listening to this song everytime I hear it. Such a beautiful piece of work. I love those Cello's and the violens.

[slimithy12]

@D0nutJ03 yep, me too. its the best score in the whole movie. it sets the tone of the movie and give it a certain feel that stays with you for the whole two and a half hours of the film. excellent upload.

[MadameInsanity]

This piece touches my core. Beautifully painful.

[London36349]

this WAS nominated for an oscar but NOMINATED because Lion king one for best Original Score, but thats oringinal score not song. And orignal score is best background music

[IrmaDoMetal]

Fantastic, perfect song, so beautiful, so sad... i love this.

[ProviderMR]

Awesome movie, they should make new movies like this one not like twilight shit.

[bigfort123]

@ProviderMR TOO True my friend!

It's great to see another individual who appreciates PROPER films.

[London36349]

I got the the same comment on the green mile, which is directed by the same person ha

[firebat42]

It's really hard to appeal to peoples taste when they don't have any to being with.

This in theory is why twilight is adored so much. They can't comprehend the philosophical references this movie throws at you. Every time I watch this movie, it's always different in a symbolic manor. Screw twilight and hurray for Tim Robins, and Morgan Freeman.

[PeteM92]

@ProviderMR - well said man

[AwesomeBrooksHardy]

@ProviderMR Well said (:

[icelord098]

@ProviderMR I could not agree MORE!!! so dam right

[doom032]

@ProviderMR You're saying that as if Twilight movies are the only ones people make nowadays. Stop spreading such bullshit.

[spectrumproduction]

@ProviderMR Actually Shawshank Redemption was based on a book as well

[madamewho]

A story by stephen King... Autumn somthing...

[Supcrude98]

@ProviderMR Agree-ed.



[seauryakumar]

@ProviderMR Hollywood should listen to wise-guys like you. I guess thats why its a classic.

[fdirector23]

@ProviderMR Haha I know right?! The guy who directed this, I believe did the Green Mile and The Mist, all three of which are Stephen King's best works thus far...

[defenderofthebrave]

@fdirector23 you didn't like misery? or have you not seen it? :)

[synestheticmusic]

thomas newman is up there with john williams & bernard herrmann for me.

[kevingil18]

Better.

[mrcharliecharles]

jem karacen

[kelseyDearest]

beautiful theme for a beautiful movie...

[TheDanielWardExp]

the movie is great and the family guy parody is funny

[mjdaubney]

SIMON BASSLINE SMITH BODY PUMP !!!

[kduderino]

The scene with Brooks in the hotel room is so sad, but the movie is one of the best films made to date.

[MachinimaTsar]

its a halfway home to be correct (sorry that scene is very emotional to me).

[dog1339]

an objectivity of life sadness

[Taramriel]

Beautiful music

[Darkpuppet12]

i saw the parody on Family Guy and now i want to see the real movie, i love this song

[aido1996]

you can actually watch the full movie here on youtube

[Darkpuppet12]

sweet, thanks

[bxdfm13]

but in terrible quality... its meant to be for your heart not your computer. mabey your TV but not your computer.

[Ballplayer300th]

Yea. I was the spoof on Family Guy so I saw the real movie. It is the best movie I ever saw.

[AngryBobo]

What?

[jim1875ccs]

@Ballplayer300th thats so funny i was the exact same

[universetwisters]

yeah i got nostalgic after hearing the soundtrack on family guy:P

[AwesomeBrooksHardy]

@Darkpuppet12 I saw the parody too (:

[sunsetsbythesea]

@Darkpuppet12 the parody is sooo freakin' hilarious!!! but the movie's way good.

[Headphonenation]

@Darkpuppet12 It's one of the most touching films you'll ever see, and the story will surprise you. The acting, narration, setting/plot; even the musical score was excellent.

[anickiee]

@Darkpuppet12 ive seen it like a million times and its still amazing i hope you've watched it by now :)

[illlryical187]

@Darkpuppet12 Snap!

[2166Brad]

@Darkpuppet12

You haven't seen the movie? It's so good!

[YEAHkEEEKOH]

@Darkpuppet12 SAME i was like "thats a good theme song"

[MrChannelPromo]

@Darkpuppet12 Its phenomenal

[kevin13021]

@Darkpuppet12

Sigh...i know that you made this comment a year ago, and therefore will probably never see my response, but this modern day Family Guy generation is troubling to me. Believe it or not people, but life does exist beyond that stupid cliche and predictable show. Puppet, at least you have expressed interest in seeing the movie so I will give you credit for that. Cmon people...this is one of, if not the greatest movie ever made and you only know of it what you have seen on FG?

[titanajay53]

@kevin13021 I agree, this is an excellent movie.

[muraliavarma]

@kevin13021 I partially agree with your comment. But I am glad that Family Guy provides the opportunity for more people get to see masterpieces. I also love that they made a couple of references to American Beauty in the series. Family Guy is good. Shawshank is great. American Beauty is life-changing. Newman is God.

[jimmerding]

@kevin13021 How extremely close minded of you. For someone who tries carrying off this aura of intellectual and spiritual superiority, you're really not that intellectual or spiritual are you ? Puppet, How about you stop shaking your finger at today's generation like some cliche, stereotypical, dissenting old fart and start realizing that as an art, subjective and at times, ambiguous, Film and TV production has NO unanimous number 1.

[plunk00]

@Darkpuppet12 dude this movie is d gr8st eva!...thats wat happens wen u take a leaf outa stephen kings book..and give it to frank darabont...n make morgan freeman act in it

!

[BigSmoke2222]

My my, what a GREAT movie.. even though this is a movie I cant imagine what it would be like for someone in real to have to go through what andy did to earn his redemption, another amazing thing is, Red stated he was the only guilty man at Shawshand and in real life most people look down on people who kill, but yet in this film we all feel sad and hurt about Red, thats the power of Movies!! Best movie ever.. hands down..

[Vlaydex]

Can you say... Kick ass movie!!?

[sasfuture]

i keep playing the same scene other and other again for this song

[dog1339]

same here

[Skurwielpyskaty]

great song great video !

[MrRichTard]

yeh id have to agree. im from ireland so i dont know alot of the celebrities mentioned :D. wonderful song and great vid mate thanks :D

[BushidoCodeIXW]

Yup! Same thing happened to me. I think it made me appreciate it more though.

Trust me, your not being obtuse. Or acute.

[wallienator27]

most of the people mentioned in family guy are not really known in europe :p

[kawaii63]

For those of you who are saying they wish this was longer, I think the full length version is 6minutes.

[Blemo23]

It's a pity that it's not on iTunes.

[YouAreAFagLittleGay]

That's the main problem with Family Guy, all the retards that watch it that don't even get 95% of the jokes/references.

[Reflexxxtra]

beautiful music

[Livelifetodie]

one of my best movie theme

[a1pha926]

in my opinion, no film has ever even come close to being better than this....Titanic was close, but the film is so incredibly perfect.....this song also makes the atmosphere of this film incredible. If you havent seen this film, i truly beg every one on YouTube to watch it. It is litterally, the greatest film of all time

[rich8642]

I thought so too until i saw "Seven Samurai" about 2 years ago.

[whatareyousayingtome]

There is something about this film... For me if Freeman wasn't in it, it would only be 3 stars for me. I suppose when this music is first playing, it shows a shot of the entire prison, at that point of the film, Freeman is portrayed as God. I think i love this film so much, because there is all this horrible tyranny and turmoil going on in the prison but Freeman's voice calms it down. So i think the fact that you can be calm even when all this is happening is just bloody fantastic!

[11XDA]

everybody knows about the bird

[bullo247]

b-b-b-bird bird bird bird is the word.

[bxdfm13]

spoilerxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xx i feel sorry for the guy who said he knew the guy whuo framed andy (he died)xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxsecret of life: the bird is the word

[go0fy101]

i love this song its relaxing and everything a song should be (in my opinion) i wish this song was longer :P TY for posting it! :)

[sjnallie1982]

Ennio Morricone eat your heart out!!

This is by far the most beautiful theme..

[Mrster]

Sure the soundtrack is brilliant. But Newman's got nothing on Morricone.

[mackie753951]
