[Angelique8401]

this song works pretty good when i'm making my homework :)

[djsufian]

just a some doof doof and hey it's a tiesto song!

[ashwa1996]

This is beautiful soothing and moving at the same time

[jj1x0]

so peaceful just to sit there and...relax

[MegaAzazel666]

beautiful piece of music. God bless you all :)

[JULIECOTONTIGE]

PLATOON ! Poor Elias :'(

[khaztaart]

!!j aurais prefere une version plus academique souviens toi de ladiscussion sur la flute

[synisterxdave666]

with all the hate in the world and the internet it seems this song brings out the best in us all. can anyone tell me where to get the download for this song, its just what i need in life.

[jayman0721]

The pan pipes remind me of "Illusion of Gaia, the old SNES game. Hope I'm not the only nerd among us, lol.

[vliiich]

i get fu**ing gooooosebumps!!!

so beautiful...

gooot damn!

[Ishankyouverymuch]

Sweet, I love the accordian.

[frboy22]

this is for hope in life

[chanotrd]

maravilloso! gracias por el video.

[galloway6204]

0:55 Im SURE of it THATS the same place on the windows XP background!

[3Angyal]

For me it is a finish. Too complicated, too created, too sacred

[AphroditeEros33]

Very moving melody with beautiful pictures. Thank you very much for making & sharing. love & peace to you, too*^-^*

[lewinoa99]

tiesto stole this?

[pheonoba]

I love these pictures....Snow scenes seem to fit the pan flutes and other string insturments well...

[theeddielang]

Best Pan Pipes Ever!

[bifnu]

Samuel Barber forever!!! =D This is definitely his masterpiece...this music takes you to the composer's mind...I love it....=)

[PsychoProfite]

1: 16 i need this...plz anyone knows?

[tigger2too2]

@PsychoProfite I think its a characther drawing of switzeland or someone in the alps (europe). Why dont you ask Bernieken

xD

[frankenleg]

what if you have never had your heart broken? never been in love? thats me. this song reminds me of them both, and how sad i am that it looks as though i never will get to be.....

[speegz11]

tru that man tru thaT.

[nevercomer]

sometimes life its cruel , it takes away youre soul , just when you started to realize how much you need it

[nevercomer]

This song brings to me the past , the mistakes i made , the times i was to blind to see how he loved me , brings to me the prezent , the lonelyness of this moment , the future , the future without him .....

[Equilibrium29]

Getting your heart broken is nothing new to people. I don't mean to sound cold, but I think everyone needs to go through it once. It is a good learning tool..to learn about yourself. Don't look at it as loneliness, but as a time for self-evaluation. Prepare for next relationship, because it is just around the corner. Just one thing: Do Not become jaded or you will be doomed!!

[karelhamsa]

It´s so emotive :´-)

[purple98290]

beautiful...............

[fabricioteidy]

5....just relax!!

[TheTexasknight]

I truly adore this glorious, immortal, divine melody. And, in turn, I can appreciate--even if not care for--all renditions and versions tastefully done of such iconic and singular beauty.

Did not many master artists of photography and paint depict their own versions of a sunrise or sunset? Can we not appreciate each image seen through the eyes of different individuals? And can any artist--however talented--truly do justice to a real sunset? Is this not also true of such an inspiring melody?

[460cc]

i just saw platoon, i can no longer think of this song relaxing

[Kamagel007]

Tiesto has his own version to bring him more popularity and money,his is just to a bit jump around while it plays(don't get me wrong,i like his work and compositions).... But this original piece is beauty...get's you where you supposed to be.. /tear

[Kamagel007]

p.s.-he likes to make music and enjoys it (fade a bit popularity and money)

[MILKMAN957]

the way you write shows how low your iq and music knowledge is.. no one can help you...

[blaa94]

Milkman, sadly he looks to be more intelligent than your sorry ass, so suck it.

[Aqwert76]

THis mades me think about how the time changes .. :,(

[MILKMAN957]

Unbeleiveable. terrible instrumentation and too fast. the character of the piece is completely gone. very cheap version. feel sorry for Barber

[rumbo84]

agreed!

[sabsok]

tiesto knows where this piece comes from,,but he has brought it to the fore ! !credit,, dont think barber would complain too much,,i would'nt....albert, in edinburgh

[08Hellas]

Beatiful

[frostyere1440]

tiesto does have a version but yes he can not claim anything from it

[frostyere1440]

tiesto did not make it popular the very first one was out in the 1920's it was the most famous piece of music back then and tiesto did make it famous to our genereation but it was already famous also whos mix is this

[ionlywatchgoodthings]

he can he made it big. stop being so ignorant

[dhfdfhdfh]

Your point?

[josephyb33]

My very favorite classical piece. Such heavenly music. This is probably what angels listen to. :)

[brewcrew01984]

Angels listen to Slayer silly...

[jerdeb4evr]

I listen to this music, I watch a clip about Michaelangelo and the Sistene Chapel, look at his sculptures, Then listen some more to this. I hate to get distracted with anything in the presence of such glorius art. At the end I peruse the comments and wonder, how does someone listen to this and equate it to a sexual prefence? Is it possible that some people cannot transcend sex. ? We are in a creative dark ages

[kingfisher2381]

You will always need sex, through the dark ages until everybody realises that it's just an act.

[jerdeb4evr]

What?

[edukee]

tietso made it popular, this is a fact.

I wouldn't be listening to this normally ... now I am.

and I see most of the commenters here have actually came here after hearing tietso's.

[chewyfromxfire]

wow only one word 'amazing'

[lgs00schos]

they're both completely different. they may sound the same but i think we can agree that they are not intended for the same purpose whatsoever. barber was a genius in writing such a beautiful piece of music. Tiesto is a talented musician as well. Who, by the way, plays Trance music, not electro.

Both versions are better than this.

[TheAtkinsoj]

isnt this an adagio for STRINGS?

i dont think it works as well with pan pipes, personally

just an opinion

nice video though

[G3hSterben]

Classic is the bottom of music!

I like both versions, u cant compare electro with classic

[vymyapolzovatelya]

tiesto is not a composer, just a music for a short period of time, crowds and money..what the hell some of you are talknig about comparing electronic dance music with orchestr?? O_O btw original sounds better but this one has "something" tho

[musicismylife2B]

the original song is obvs the best, but first time i herd this flute version and its very soothing!!!

[Bernieken]

this is NOT a FLUTE! it is pan pipes better and so smooth thanx

[APokeInTheEye]

@Bernieken Yes and also called 'panflute' =) :)

[jbiker155]

tiesto and AVB

[BuggleBuster]

tbh i dont really like remix's of this song i think the origonal was perfect... but this one gets a 5* from me because panpipes are my favorite instrument ^^

tiesto ect's versions sucked in my oppinion AND IM ALLOWED MY OPPINION DAMMIT!

[blaa94]

opinion doesn't have 2 p's just wanted to point that out

[Opinical]

It does if he stutters! haha...

And Tiesto "Murdered" this piece...

[FutureFootballStar]

are you joking, tiesto made this so much better

[DarkBenjy]

Interesting version... I see some one has the ability to use MIDIs...

Origional (in groups)

Violin

Violin

Viola

Cello

Contrabass (Bass Cello)

[peachesrock003]

This isn't the original, though. The original was a string quartet, (I believe, I could be wrong). But any rate it was all strings. They've added I believe pan pipes to this version. It sounds very good, though.

[angeeellla]

this song was on south park~

[martgriff25]

kevin and perry the remix version also tiesto done it

[daktana69]

KPGL awesome movie and even better soundtrack, reminds me of my younfer years :) .

[starveld]

The Elephant Man / John Hurt

[Marinebioecolandcons]

Platoon. Elijah's death scene.

[sarah16uk]

Can anyone think of a movie that used this!! i cant remember where i've heard it from..?

Have to Say this is One of The Most Amazing Classics EVER!!!

x

[sunny817]

platoon :)

[KeaneAddict]

Such a classic tune that will never be forgotten in the existence of this world that we live in. So amazing, i still get shivers when i hear it. So sad.

[Bernieken]

JUST Listen to that! 7 mins of! wow

[pele6922]

No beast so fierce ,but knows some touch of pity, but i know none and therefore am no beast.

Richard III,

William Shakespeare

[franny2tm]

All we need now is a Tiesto pan flute remix... :P

[birdingbum17]

Excellent version! Just a little fast though......... Should actually take closer to 10 minutes to perform this.

[EasternCherokeeblood]

Beautiful music and pictures!

[Davoiscool]

[portugal82]

this is a speechless peace of music, i have no words to describe how beautiful this song is.

Sylvanmeister ,

troll.

[zdzichu94]

kapitalne!!!!

[misanthrope23]

I was already of the belief that Barber's Adagio is the most beautiful score ever written, and this rendition is no exception. It brought tears to my eyes it's so beautiful.

[starker78]

absolutuely brilliant!!!

[MermaidsAurora]

wow adagio for strings and pan pipes..speechless!! goose bumps!

[ukioka]

[mcjeb]

[lisuuuXTC]

Najsmutniejsza piosenka na swiecie.... respect!

[Soulofdread]

Wunerschön <33

ich liebe dieses Video

[Frenchdayz]

On he pipes its crap ! its supposed to be strings . . . not woodwind

[rizalpeace]

this song what i'm looking for from along time, after I wacthed Platoon. Thank you..

[mimou126]

merci bcp je suis un algerien comment je pourrais télécharger un extrait

[zzrzzerrz]

i just whant to say that...your video is a pure beauty,and the sound tracks from Platoon so great.

Thanks a lot Bernieken

[Darkony]

We have the right to dream about beauty & happiness.

But remember: Life is hard, It's a war You vs. Your Life.

So don't sit back & go on, keep rolling.

Don't wait for the ball to come for you,GO GET IT!

A Black Tulip

[KrisMayeaux]

Beautiful music Beautiful photos

[da1dreman]

ＧＯＯＤ！

[FLUTISSIMA]

Great video and Music from Barber. i did not know this version with pan Flute. it gives another color

[synisterxdave666]

sych a relaxing peice by far the most chilling out song ever wrote it is as if it werw writen by gods

the pictures shown work well with the music also showing that this world is a beautiful place and not just a desolent violent melevolent planet

[ro722]

I Agree !!!!

[AdamAus85]

This music works soooo well at the end of the film Platoon.

[Odinelterrible]

I like this song soo much, it makes me really happy!!

[angelhelp7]

absolute heaven

[arramon777]

wee! pan flutes!My dad would love this. =)

I agree with the sad/happy comment below. I feel calm when listening to this... sadness only comes from the visuals others use in these videos, but great strength is also found, as the spirit can soar from the individual notes being played.

-=A=-

[LOZADA1289]

muy buena cancion!!! :D

[rcarranza]

My point of view is that it does not exist "sad" or "happy" music... It does exist music able to open your soul, and if there is some sadness in there, that music maybe make you think of it, and maybe, (who knows) it will help you to turn that sadness into happines. Think of it... maybe you will agree, maybe you will not. My very best regards.

[cinjp08]

c'est magnifique

un grand classique de la musique classique

bravo Barber

[FINALFANTASYKH]

this music makes me sad.... i dont know why considering it makes a lot of people calm and happy...

or at least a lot of people i know...

either way i feel sad when i hear this song...

[soccom8341576]

The slowness is smooth.

The music itself is very sad.

[bushisacoxucker]

I´d say it´s peaceful.

We are so accostumed to noise, incessant rhythm, and excitement at every turn...

This music helps bring out whatever is within...

[PrincipeNero86]

uhm..you would be happier if you listen to the trance version of dj Tiesto!

[eggs07]

There is sadness in beauty and beauty in sadness. Much of what is beautiful about the human condition is also profoundly sad, and these facets of our existence are worth exploring and embracing, if we are to value our time in this world.

[fleischegurken]

This song was in The Elephant Man w/ Anthony Hopkins also...

[alaina66]

So I AM right , this is from Platoon...Awesomely beautiful and ethereal!!!

[sofmae]

This music is from ELEND...?

[steviekeyz]

composed by samuel barber "adagio for srings" made famous from the movie platoon and other movies

[sofmae]

Thank you very much...

If you have the time search for ELEND and the song 'The silence of Light'.....it is worth it.

Thanks again.........take care.

[sblazer878]

the music is as captivatings as the scenery. Amazing.

[Shocolate77]

this is so beautifule...its like magic

[Michaelibz]

Nice locations and picturesque, Adagio...yes, pan pipes for me a big NO !
