This music is pure epicness!!!

[zomaster1]

they used this for the matrix Revolutions trailer

[HikariTenrai]

this is so epic, i wished it lasts longer XD

[lordofbaraddur]

matrix revolutions ftw :)

[OffhandAgent]

I'd have to have a person title for this called, "The war inside my head."

[NifNoufLogasse2]

This track is so powerful, it almost brings tears to my eyes...

However the little passage from 2:24 seems familiar : I think it sounds like another soundtrack I've heard (either on a movie or in a trailer). Does anyone have any idea what I might be talking about? ^^

[Rentanjutsushi]

@NifNoufLogasse2 Tarawa was in the Matrix Revolutions trailer at the end of Reloaded.

Only trailer I know of, but it's way more powerful in its original context in Snow Falling On Cedars.

[NifNoufLogasse2]

@Rentanjutsushi Oh, thank you for answering my question but I think I didn't express myself correctly : what I meant is that this track reminds me of another completely different music that would have a similar passage (and I still don't know what music it is). Thanks anyway for taking the time to answer me, I appreciate it :)

[juancop7]

@NifNoufLogasse2 it has something similar to the x-men 3 soundtrack at 1:38 . Maybe that's the one you are looking at

[Traip20]

Beautiful! James Newton Howard is on of the Best!!!

[vbacs22]

[shogun1]

Dayumm, I like this one a lot. Final Conflict 2005 was the best card ever imo. Of course, i'm bias cause Shogun's my favorite fighter. Great footage!!!!!!!

[linvik1]

James Newton Howard.... we bow before you.

[FelixVW]

Thanks for uploading... I was looking for this track for ages...

[ulukita]

absolutely astounding piece of music..watching the movie now because I heard this! Totally blown away.

[YouCantDeleteDenzelL]

This song is biblically epic.

[GunmanProductionsTV]

I've been looking for this for ages! First I heard it at the end of the Matrix Reloaded and said: "This is amazing! I must have this song!"

Now I finally came across it, thank you for uploading it!

[woollfen]

This track more than any I can think of is just overwhelmingly powerful. I have a pretty cold heart and I can't listen to this without tearing up.

[c3vzn]

@woollfen Damn you're a pussy.

[Tactician42]

@c3vzn Damn you're a troll.

[Geckopaule]

I'm always gettin' a gooseflesh when listening to this song...

[spacey5ify]

this is beyond anything i have ever heard.just incredible!

[louiseobrien2065]

One of the most briliant movies ever made.

[ChlopiecZZDynamitu]

another great piece of film music

[TheGameOvais]

The single gratest track from any soundtrack ever.

[natepo7]

Please let me know if anyone finds the lyrics to this song. I cant find them anywhere

[govno78]

it is a mystery to me that the score was not nominated at the oscars, The beautiful cinematogrophy was nominated but I think the score deserved a nomination. tarawa is one of the best movie scores I've heard in my entire life.

Still till this day I get so moved by this score. James Newton Howard rocks. Listen to his academy award nominated score to DEFIANCE amazing!!!!!

[painetcirque]

This soundtrack it is a new way to compose the music. A new language to touch deeper the human state of soul and mind, the new human drama or the drama itself. It is the description of the need for hope when it is known that it is not there anymore.

[wakeupfist]

Music this emotionally intense should be illegal.

[OneGuyToRuleThemAll]

A death to be remembered... Sometime... In the future... Apocalypse...

[ArksunSound]

This track from the CD has to be heard on a really good sound system. With its dynamic range fully realised, it is devastatingly powerful.

James Newton Howard we salute you

[aspicia]

OMG... ç_ç it's just...epic and wonderful!!

[HawkEagleWolf]

Sounds a bit like Phillip Glass..after 1:08

[Kristian2006]

Almost as if your time of truth is coming and everything you've ever desired and worked for comes down to this one moment in time that will be remembered forever.

[woollfen]

To me this is the equal of Beethoven's 5th!

[translifelove]

Powerful

[Darkjoss]

awesome soundtrack

definitely one of my faves movie ever !

THE BEST.

LOVE IT

[disgrl4]

Looooooove this movie :-)

[TheLastRemnant]

btw anyone knows the lyrics?Cause words sounds familiar to don davis' neodammerung

[bertxo]

Yep, I agree, especially when the trumpets begins to play sounds like Don Davis compositions...

[darkpinkpoison]

have you found the lyrics yet? i've look at all the lyric sites, and no one has them. I listen closely and think the first line is "He saw them coming." and then something like, "he was the victor." or could be "victim" After that it gets too muddle. I wonder if the composer would want to share the lyrics with his fans??? :D

[bertxo]

Well. I'm not engilsh-speaker and is very difficult to know what the chorus is singing. Maybe could be another language like sanscrit. It's very typical in score composers the use of an exotic language in order to give some mysticism and power. But I'm not sure.

[holodock]

Does it matter what the choir is singing? Words are so inprecise. Let the sound lead you not the words.

[painetcirque]

I have always thought that the perfect music is that which is not verbalised. Words are just a compansations when perfection does not fit not enough. You are right about how " imprecise" words are when already that music already describes the heart the way that words would impoverish it. Either latin or other kind of dead language, it should reamain so, being let to enjoy the misterious sound of our heart. Afterall that is the music's destination and particularry of that one.

[spitfire690]

Wow...what you said, was beautiful, amazing and deep, I could have never thought of any better way to say that, let alone even think of something even close to that. You, have a great talent with writing!

[TripolisUnited]

and a great talent with grammatical falacy :P

[triplogioco]

"Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita mi ritrovai per una selva oscura, ché la diritta via era smarrita. Tarawa."

It's Italian...Dante Alighieri, Divina Commedia

Ciao!

[FREEDOMPRODUCTIONS11]

@TheLastRemnant It's the same.

Don Davies use part of Tarawa on part of "his" neodammerung...

[kevnar]

Makes you feel like the world's coming to an end, if you're listening with your eyes closed. Just amazing.

[suziestew]

....hauntingly beautiful

as the movie...hold on until one must let go...

truly tragic and beautiful at the same time....

blessings,

x

[cokzicapz]

are you kidding?! this is one of the best movies of all time!

[junebug2831]

One of the greatest pieces of muisc ever composed it just keeps building and building

Thanks. I wish it would have been used on a better movie
