  • spiel24...AGREE!

  • incredible film 

  • I think the people who decides who gets the Oscars should be ashamed that they did not pick Shawshank as the best picture, best musical score, and best actor Morgan Freeman.

  • Just Can't Stop Quoting from this Movie.

  • @fortysevenfortyniner I know right, I have the same problem! XD

  • This film changed my life. It taught me to dream.

  • One of those films that just puts a huge smile on your face and makes you shed a little tear just as the credits role :')

  • this music from hans zimmer??

  • @MrAdonis258

    Not Hans Zimmer...Thomas Newman.

  • "Get busy living, or get busy dying, that's god damn right".

  • haha my name is red

  • I'm guessing there are very few people who did not find this movie incredibly powerful! It's probably the best film I've seen at capturing the triumph of the human spirit.

  • I love this film

  • The Oscars got it wrong...all of us got it right!

  • Comment removed

  • Thomas Newman has been nominated for 10 Oscars and won none...

    What a load of shit!

  • 1:49 <3

    One of the best movies ever made. It has so many amazing quotes.

  • i wana go do somthin heroic now.

  • In the end, everything will be alright

    And if it's not alright, then it's not the end

  • Hearing this song i felt like never before in these "poor" 14 years that i have lived. This song gives you hope and strength for a bleak future. I hope this year is better. With love from Greece.

  • @marios19257 It's been bad before; it will get better again. Don't let things get you down. "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things; and no good thing ever dies."

  • Just watched this film for the 3rd time and realised that i love it ALOT MORE than i actually did da 2nd time. 1st time ill be honest i didn't get it. i was 19. hadn't seen many films. films lie this one. u hv 2 watch em at least 4-5 time just to understand em. to appreciate how good they are, well i guess once evry 6 months at least.

  • just thinking about it makes the tears flow...

  • What a beautiful film score, i can't really come up with any other words to say about it really that won't have already been said about it. It certainly eases the mind though

  • "get busy living or get busy dying"

  • One of the only songs that makes me tear up every single time, without fail

  • Fear can hold you prisoner, Hope can set you free..

  • Andy: You know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific?

    Red: No.

    Andy: They say it has no memory. That's where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory.

  • Get busy living.. or get busy dying..

    That's damn right.

  • Stunning!

  • easypeacyjapaneasy

  • This movie in one word: Hope.

  • Straight cash Homie! IM WHITE!

  • Get busy living...

  • Incredible movie!!!

  • "Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing". This movie was more than just a movie, it had life lessons for young and old. A movie with deeper meaning.

  • All time favourite movie!! Beautifully made. Shame they don't come like this anymore!! Life is beautiful. All how you perceive it in the mind.

  • Red sitting against the tree in buxton. best scene & song combination ever

  • i love the titles of these songs

  • It's As If This Beautiful Soundtrack Played Into Our Drab Little Lives And Made Those Troll Dissolve Away. And For The Briefest Of Moments, Everyone On YouTube Felt Free.

  • I guess I just missed my friend.

  • This one gives me shivers.. Very Brilliant indeed.

  • One of the greatest movies ever made...

  • One of my all-time favourite movie and the soundtrack in this movie is truly aw-inspiring.

  • This is an amazing film.

    So timely.

    Exquisitely made.

    Thank god for my randomly sudden obsession with vhs tapes..

    i just so happen to have this one and it caught my eye earlier tonight, i just got done watching it. I'm glad i did. <3

  • Get busy livin', Or get busy dyeing -That's goddamned right!

  • Some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are too bright.

  • Hope is a beautiful thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

  • Seriously... if a person isn't touched about this song, they'll never feel any emotions in their lifes. EVER.

  • Do you remember the place in Mexico?

  • @Boynky - Ze-wan-ta-neyo

  • @Boynky It's Zihuatanejo... I'm pretty sure I was conceived in this place, that's why I remembered LOL

  • @Boynky Zihuatenejo........

  • I find I'm so excited I can barely sit still to hold a thought in my head. I think it's the sort of excitement a free man (Freeman) feels on the start of a long journey, whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope to make it across the border safely. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

  • You get busy living or you get busy dying

  • Every time i feel down, sad or depressed, I listen to this song, and every time I do, it reminds me that there is more in the world than just misery. This song gives me true hope!

  • @fisherconnell Eloquently said, my friend!

  • @fisherconnell Either get busy living

    Or Get Busy Dying

  • @fisherconnell fag.......

  • @crazedtoddlers Shitty troll is shitty.

  • @fisherconnell err get a life?

  • "Get busy living, or get busy dying".... I've now adopted this motto. Absolutely brilliant piece of music.

  • 12 dislikes..... all from the warden.

  • 4:51 - 5:10. The most incredible horn playing I've ever heard.

  • @knoxman1990 i dont mean to toot my own horn, but i can play better then that

  • amazing song to an amazing "feel good" movie

  • 12 dislikes? seriously?

  • @xclickzm that's god damn right.

    get it right or pay the price

  • I would thank I have friends like that though they are few I have them. 

  • This song gives you so many mixed emotions. Hope .achievment. amazing

  • "I Hope..."

  • The anthem, of life.

  • reminds me of band of brothers.

  • @TheHashBot It actually does doesn't it? also reminds me of Call of Duty Classic

  • 69 people like xclickzm's comment. a ha ha...

  • 1:49 - 2:45 just really does it for me. Thanks for posting this, I needed it.

  • @Phase171 same :D my favourite part too :D its so soothing , makes me thin about life...

  • @Phase171 I feel it too...it's so serene. Makes me want to be at the beach, hear the waves, feel the sand between my toes, and be with the ones I love..

  • @Phase171 i agree completely :)

  • 12 people need to get busy dying.

  • One time I sat looking at a million stars on the clearest night of the year listening to this piece of music. Felt emotions I didn't know existed.

    I was the lord of all creations that night.

  • wow

  • Brooks was here.....

    ....so was Red

  • Comment removed

  • Andy Dufresne, who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side. headed for the Pacific. Sometimes it makes me sad, though, Andy being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice, but still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend. (I miss mine too)

  • @lindagrace1223 great speech from the movie :)

  • I hope I can make it across the border.

    I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand.

    I hope the pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams.

    I hope...

  • Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

  • I have that exact image of Andy standing triumphant above my bed, a big poster. Whenever I feel lost or disheartened, I stare up and read the immortal words: 'Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free'.

    My all-time favorite movie. Words's cannot comprehend the respect I have for this classic piece of cinema and Newman for his iconic music. This film can really change your perspective on life. It did for me, and it can for others too. Get busy living or get busy dying...

  • "I hope i can make it across the border,I hope I can see my friend, I hope the pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams, I hope......"

    I love that movie and i love this song, every time i hear it, it makes me wanna cry, seriously!

  • Fear held 12 people prisoner.

    Hope set 822 people free.

  • What's the name of the track they play when Andy first arrives at Shawshank? I've been looking all over for that...

  • @AStopMotionChannel It's called Stoic (I think)

  • @AStopMotionChannel 'Shawshank Prison (Stoic Theme)'

  • It Makes Me Feel freedom.

  • This music is timeless!

  • I hope...

  • 12 dislikes? how can that be? this piece of music could bring world peace its that strong. Music like this is something you cant tell. They are feeling that cant be told But yet sitting here typing this message with tears in my eyes from listening to this while writing makes me wonder what my future lies ahead of me. Shall i have kids,will i get married,will i sing and dance,God makes everything for a purpose. May our journeys in life be unforgettable.

  • Music and movies like this, they remind us to step back and just be. Just for a moment.

    A moment to be, a lifetime to become.

  • perfect

    

  • 0:50

    I feel as though something is coming to life.

  • The best - THE BEST

  • Thank you for combining the two best songs at the end into one.

  • Timeless, Poignant, endearing.

    No wonder the main theme is always reused for trailers.

  • :(( Amazing !

  • does anyone know what the song BEFORE this one is called :D the one with the amazing Harmonica ?????

  • GODAMN IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR YEARS ! IT TOOK TO ME LOOK AT THE BAG SCENE FROM AMERICAN BEAUTY TO FIND OUT THAT THAT WAS THOMAS NEWMANS SONG , AND THEN TO SUGGESTIONS WHICH HAD THIS SONG IN IT ! THANKS FATE !

  • SK's work doesn't always transfer to the screen very well, especially his horror stories and novels. The only two that stand out are "Delores Claiborne" and "The Shawshank Redemption". And this one is far and away the best. How the Academy didn't give this the Best Picture award (and other Bests) is beyond my comprehension.

    To all who made it possible, thank you.

  • @Otaku1031 Amen Brother.

  • Damn, how can one not like this? It's a beautiful piece of music.

  • @WezzyStef907 . its probably just a nazi punk somewhere in a ol whoresone somewhere in a big dirty city. ;) we should feel sorry for him/ them. and be happy that we are who we are.. not that nazi punk. but ourselfes. thats important ,to be yourself. you surely want to be remembered as that guy who was himself 100% on your limited time on earth . at least i do..

  • I don't know what this piece is about. And frankly I don't want to know. Some things are best left un-said. I'd like to think that Thomas Newman was playing about something so beautiful that it can't be described in words. And it makes your heart ache because of it...

  • @ultamatefrogmaster lol loved the reference :D

  • @JN01051993 Haha! Cheers! ;)

  • @ultamatefrogmaster lol i don't know what happened to my comment i tried to find it but for some reason it's not appearing on this entire comments section of the video I ctrl F and couldn't find it. Can you tell me what it was? Now i'm dying of curiosity and "think" i may have an idea of what it was related to --> family guy but i do not know what i said specifically.

  • @JN01051993 Lol! No not family guy xD You said you loved my reference. :)

  • @ultamatefrogmaster ya at the end Andy DuFrain starts up his own buisness in Cuba or soemthing and theres a lot of other beauty in this movie that is expressed in the end titles music.

  • @ultamatefrogmaster

    LOVE that!

    yes, it is amazingly gorgeous

  • makes you think of those innocents who have been to prison or have died for being accused.

  • this movie is a very hard one to beat infact there wouldnt be to many that are better.

  • I always used to say Pulp Fiction was the better film of 1994. But I just bought this on blu ray and rewatching it; I would say it's the best movie sonce the 70's ended,

  • Does anyone know the name of the music that plays as Red is finding the tree near the end of the film, and walking along the stone wall? please reply thanks :D

  • it's called "Compass and Guns". beautiful track.

  • @Jenn0s0h085 Thank you ;D

  • Such a hauntingly beautiful music... There should be a 'Love' button here with two thumbs up.

  • hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies

  • Best soundtrack ever.

  • Get busy living or get busy dying, that's Goddamned right.

  • the green mile is ten times better than this film.

  • @Gencturk92 this is false

  • @Gencturk92 both great movies but i'm personally more in favor of This one.

  • `some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright`

  • What's the song they play when the warden and the police rip off the poster and fing a giant hole in the wall?

  • @Digityjardog It's called "And that right soon."

  • Brooks was here

  • Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies

  • The music in Shawshank Redemption is staggering. You can feel the power and emotion in the music, which fits well with the plot of the story. I love the movie and the music, and I would have to say it is one of my favourite movies of all time.

  • Hope is a good thing. And no really good thing ever dies.

  • Hope

  • Wywołuje u mnie dreszczyk na całym ciele!

    Makes me shiver all of my body!

  • a great film that sad sacks think is cool to berate for misguided arty 'reasons'

  • this song is so beautiful, when i watched the movie the song was so sad i started crying its just so beautiful i love it

  • This is absolutely beautiful, Thomas Newman is an absolute genius. This music is really inspiring :)

  • Thank you Stephen King and Frank Darabont, im eternally grateful for your movie.

  • What a perfect movie.... Truly a masterpiece!

  • Typical Newman...

    an Incredible sound that makes your heart dance and tears form in your eyes and break onto your cheek. And yet, it doesn't make you sad, but fills you with an overwhelming sense of happiness :D

  • @MisterLolify those words made my day. You have a gifted mind.

  • @MisterLolify and hope

  • this movie took away so much of my saddness, without this movie i would still be in the darkness...

    all i want to do now is stand on a hill that overlooks everything and close my eyes, and smile in the rain. if i could do that then id be forever happy

  • @frozenbloodbullets - visit Mt. Rainier, Seattle, WA =)

  • a beautifull film to watch when your feeling down,it just lifts you back up and makes you realise that no matter what happening in your life ,just keep going and you,ll make it thru,

  • Im going to have this song at my funeral its amazing

  • I saw Avatar. I thought it was good. Then I watched this movie. This is the best movie that I have ever seen. It beats Avatar by a long shot. This is the only movie that made me cry at the end.

  • So relaxing and soothing.

  • Beautiful and haunting theme. Captures the thread of good that comes from all the horror and filth of Shawshank, where friendship and devotion to justice and right finally overcome corruption and evil.

  • Best movie ever.... and the music is superb and helps the movie make the highest rate ever in my eyes and ears.

  • this has to be the most honest humane and sincere film ever made, the whole package from directing, acting to sound track. makes me glad to be free and alive

  • This is so beautiful .. This movie is one of the most beautiful movie ever made . After it, you have this strange feeling telling you just spend one of the two epics hours of your life watching this masterpiece ...

  • Comment removed

  • 11 people disliked the song because they didn't like it and have different taste in music and it's not our place to say any different.

  • 300,000 viewer!

  • I'll never understand why this movie didn't win at least 10 oscars, That's not fair :(

  • @hassannn75 much like bladerunner, it wasn't fully appreciated upon initial release, I think it was overshadowed by Forest Gump released the same year. However, in the list of top 100 films recently, it did score higher than Forest Gump. I guess this film is a bit like wine, it's regarded better with age.

  • @jenguind Damn right mate, most of Ridley Scott movies are under-appreciated, I love Scott, one of my favourite directors, Forest Gump is a good movie, but highly overrated, BTW check IMDB's all-time top 250 films, on imdb.com & you'll see the ranking of Shawshank Redeption there & I'm pretty sure that most of good movies are appreciated on that site :)
