Dedicated to my friend Penny. If there was ever a song that conveyed the feeling of the memories we so briefly shared and how the pleasantness remains in my soul this would be the song-rich, deep and beautiful.
@kpjlaw This is one of my top favorite themes as well, but search out the Champ instrumental theme posted oct 23. Or access it in the playlist noted here. It's right before this song. chuck
@sart90 Very touching movie if you've not seen it. This is one of the few scores by a woman, Rachel Portman, to hit the big time. I've always wondered why film music seems to be a guys only club. I've playlisted 20,000 songs onto 750 lists by artist, year & genre, yet this is one of my top 100 favorites. The quality of Rachel's work here is unsurpassed. My channel is a tribute to such music & great musicians. My lists will play any year since 1900 for you, some as long as 4 hours. stop by. chuck
And I forgot to add that this reminds me about autumn altogether. Like all the pretty trees, crisp,fall air, warm apple cider next to a camp fire, being with family, picking pumpkins and going to fall festivals...
This music reminds me like being in the woods during fall and seeing all the pretty colors. Inhaling fresh,clean,crisp fall air, looking around at all the pretty trees, listening to the wind blow through the trees, feeling at peace and care-free. *Sigh* wish I was there now...
The movie was excellent on so many levels and undercurrents; it was a quality movie with an excellent cast. The theme song is so very lovely and the video that has been placed with it is equally lovely. Thank you for this great post.
This is a great song and a very good video. I'm sorry for the loss of your sister. Both music and images work together very well. The hater who didn't like the video is an idiot.
A beautiful theme to a beautiful film, which never, no matter how many times I see it, fails to move me to tears. That scene at the end where Homer turns around in the doorway and says "Goodnight, you princes of Maine, you kings of New England", gets me every time.
Lovely! Was actually looking for a wedding processional piece and came across this. Your video is breathtaking and the music is a beautiful accompaniment. Thank you!
What a beautiful video! The editing is superb and the music fits in perfectly. It reminds me of New York State and the summer house of my childhood in the deep woods. I never thought I'd be able to go home again in the way that you've helped me. Looking at it brought tears to my eyes. My brother and I never got along. It touches me deeply that you could create such a gorgeous thing for your sibling.
Thank you for this most excellent video. Rachel Portman's score is ....... well, words escape me. A fitting tribute to your lovely sister. Please forgive my presumption that I'm assuming you lost her. I too have lost loved ones. Three children. Trevor age 8, Melinda at birth and, Kayleigh age 2 months. Music such as this causes me to pause and contemplate on what is genuinely important in this very short life. It's refreshing to watch and listen to the joy that is expressed in your video. Bravo.
I have an unreasonable and haunting fear that on my deathbed when all I hear is the bleeping of the machines than monitor my inevitable demise I will never go to that beloved place again with my Ridgebacks, never smell it or see it............................................ This music is that place.
I love this song and the nature. I kind of grew up in nature and I remember what it was like going through puberty. Puberty phases sometimes voyages with the phases of seasons and nature. And then you look back and remember moments when you fell in love too hard or not hard enough. And a bittersweet emotion kind of takes over and you sigh and get back to paying the bills and acting like a grownup. :-P
don't be knocking michigan if you don't live there :p sure we're facing some tough times, i have family members who lost there jobs after 25 years in the auto industry and i live in detroit! but it's a beautiful state with some wonderful people, places, and amazing things to offer. be supportive of those going through a tough time and of a wonderful state! don't be too jealous of the michigan beauty :)
This song reminds me of my childhood, of warm and hazy summer days, playing around the local creek south of my home in Indiana. Off in the distance, you can see the waves of wheat rolling their tossils in the soft, summer breeze with a faint whiff of wheat and freshly cut grass, as the local farmer is cutting their front yard. It reminds you of home. And every time I listen to this, it brings a tear to my eye of simpler and quieter times when we didn't have to worry about terrorists.
@rsradvan You seems to be a sensible people. The world needs it, people who care about the others sahering harmony and peace of mind. I am an Brazilian Army officer who was instructor in West Point in 2006-07 and I loved you country. Now i am back to my activity in Brazil. I wish all the best. Fabio Castro. fbcastro85@gmail.com
@rsradvan Thank you so much for your comment, same feelings but different landscapes...If I close my eyes I can see me and some friends of mine on bikes in an hot summer afternoon...crossing our country road toward new adventure...
Worry is a troubling feeling. I recently discovered that worry and anxiety do me no good, and that if I can intervene through by being aware of it, it helps a lot. Worry makes me sad and it hurts. Not worrying, I never thought about it, but I don't have to worry. "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?"
@rsradvan Couldn't have said it better. You remind us all of happier times with your words but the fact is, we can still make tomorrow just as happy if not happier. We just need to try, thats all.
This is so truly beautiful. The music and scenes are incredible and reflect the soul of the person who created this video. Bravo! Thanks for sharing the beauty!
Hey, it's the Pure Michigan theme. I live right next door. Cool state. Too bad it has so many stupid unions. And is a bad place to start a business. And we can't forget one of the top unemployment rates in the U.S. Also one of the most crime-plagued cities (Detroit). Other than that, it's great.
I don't know why, but this song, it makes me feel sad with the rememberance of death that I have watched and endured over the years, but at the end I feel revived and refreshed as if the next step I take is a bright and prosperous one.
Bravo Ms Portman and a really well made video "EnglishHeroes". Love this score, very simple repetition and evocative use of woodwinds......its romanticism and optimistic note suits the video perfectly. Portman is at her best with this style, not so keen on the experimental stuff like in "Beloved".
Oh my gosh this would be such a beautiful wedding song! My Brother is getting married this year! (Well he's planning on perpossing to her) And she wants all the sisters including me to be brides mades and I'm going to suggest this song to her when walking down the Asile! *Tearing up really badly need a cloth!* Waahhh! So pretty!!!
The song is so beautiful, yet the movie was so sad, it brings me tears to remember it...........
My previous version of this vanished, I am so pleased to find yours today. It will go with the other 2600 songs on my 200 playlists.......it's amazing to contemplate how much truly beautiful music there is as one gathers it all in one place as I'm trying to do.
Well done. You synergistically melded a beautiful track of music with equally winsome displays of nature. It is hypnogogically tranquil and emotionally evocative that you have dedicated this to your sister. Kudos to you for your endeavour. And thank you.
Beautiful, simply beautiful. The movies presents a beautiful soul, compassion, and humility to our era, how much we need to go back to nature and the simple and basic value.
A beautiful song with beautiful footage of nature. The picture at 1:17 is especially gorgeous. Your sister must be feel very loved to have a tribute like this. :)
What an absolutely beautiful video - thank you for putting this together! Though a country boy at heart, I'm a city slicker now, and this brought me right back home.
I am very sorry to hear about your sister, Sorry my video upset you, it was just my small tribute to my sister and how lovely she is..Big Hug to you and Best wishes x
This is absolutely breathtaking.....one of the most beautiful videos I think I have ever seen. This is an absolutely wonderful video for an amazing piece of art from Rachel Portman, one of the best film composers in history.
