Cowboy Bebop OST 3 Blue - Ave Maria

[TheGuyWithZeHair]

"Who are you? Tell me!"

[Vidyadude]

3 people didn't like this song.

[MrLoadingscreen]

I just with they'd have thought up a better English name for him than 'Vicious'. While it portrayed his personality well, it didn't do much for his backstory.

[TheKhamuhl]

@MrLoadingscreen I beg to differ. If a guy consciously chooses to be called "Vicious" (it's kinda obvious it is not his real name xD), I think that single fact tells us more about his personality and world-view than any backstory ever could.

[TheIrieGerman]

Oh NO!!! 3 people who weren't hugged as children!

[jimothy183]

3 people were turned into a pez dispenser by vicious.

[gjb707]

i can say without a doubt this is my favorite rendition of Ave Maria. It is also the first time i heard the song. Beautiful.

[WildBillHickums]

I don't know, Ave Maria, or Ballet of Death? That is the question

[McSleezy720]

this will open at my funeral

[PhazonElitist]

Damn, this version of Ave Maria is incredible.

[gudone01]

Amazing



[SangiNET]

Heh, I listen to this while I soak in the shower. Epic shit....

[Sketchei]

Aaaaaave Mariaaa~

Oh god, i think i'm going to cry D:

[Saiyajinsoul86]

I imagine an action scene without sound in which a man armed with two guns enters running into a bar shooting at every gangster in slow motion.

[GhostPlanetFilms]

@Saiyajinsoul86 Lemme guess..."Hitman?"

[NameTaken1191]

I wonder what the creative process for The Seatbelts was while working on Cowboy Bebop.

[1235788888]

@NameTaken1191 This isn't the Seatbelts its the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra.

[MrSuperman216]

Dost thou forget the genius that is Nujabes doing the music for Samurai Champloo?

[bono300vox]

wow amazing version

[51Totom]

With Full Metal Alchemist 1 et 2, Cowboy Bebop is the best anime ever made !

[diegolex87]

vicious !!! :D

[shyeevee1]

whom ever arranged the music to the eps on cowboy bebop is the smarted man/woman alive

[Mexman75]

@shyeevee1

Her name is Yoko Kanno and she is amazing she is also responsible for the music on Wolf's Rain and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

[supervanillabear4]

@Mexman75 Don't forget about Escaflowne. It had its own massive share of genius music created by Kanno too.

[EvilBlackComet]

@supervanillabear4: Wolf's Rain was another of Kanno's projects that also had beautiful music

[wolfteam000]

@EvilBlackComet And Darker Than Black season 1

[TheLithiumFlower]

@Mexman75 Not to mention some of the Studio Ghibli films! She is trully amazing, isn't she?

[CCTV9]

@Mexman75

Also Macross Plus

[CarcharodonMeg]

'Ballad of Fallen Angels' is rich with religious symbolism :)

[LATINTORPEDO]

COWBOY BEBOP OPEN MY EYES TO MUSIC WITH MEANING,,

[NishiOxnard]

This was wonderful! I've been trying to find the version of "Adieu" that he sang later in the series, it sounded a lot like this... but I'm not sure where it is...

[tetohmu]

Jerzy Knetig accompanied by The Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra

just the best version of Ave Maria

[WildBuck007]

Whenever I hear this song now, I think of rotting meat loaf and pez dispensers =D

[moiaiyou19]

is that luciano pavarotti?! so beautiful!

[blahandahalf]

Must have played this 20 times now over the past couple days. Kind of addicted to this beauty. o.o

[AdagioDan11]

I really like this arrangement of Ave Maria but it seems as though the lyrics are largely nonsensical, and comprised of made up words (similar to Greenbird). In think I'll take some some to add latin lyrics that actually make sense so I can sing this sometime for a recital or something.

[Schattenfaust2]

@AdagioDan11 Couldn't you just sing the actual Ave Maria?

[irit8in]

@AdagioDan11 i wonder how good your latin and or ears are

[iGotZerker]

Idk if anyone out here plays WoW... Buit the first time I got to try out the new Heroic Deadmines... When the Neurological poison set in and everything went into slowmotion, this song was next in que in my playlist!! SOOOOOO EPIC!! =D

[Impossiboss]

@iGotZerker I love when things like that happen :)

[51Totom]

Vicious : Surprise ?

Faye : But he's died ! Who are you ?

Vicious : My name is Vicious !

[bananaempijama]

@51Totom yup...everytime i listen to this masterpiece i remember that part ;)

[JTCMusic23]

anything about cowboy bebop puts me in a good mood

[eriksworldmouse]

this song is great preformed by luciano pavarotti

[allenfreek13]

this music is beutifull. when I listin I just have to close my eyes.

[xxGermanyxxx]

Of course I cry :c

[xjlux]

This is an incredible song. But when compared with a similar musical masterpiece that predates it known as Franz Liszt's Liebestraum, i'd rather pass on this.

[Zedta]

@xjlux I don't think there's much similarity between the two pieces - different composers, very different themes, different era, and Liebestraum is best without lyric, while this song is great with lyric. Besides, there's no reason why one mush pass on a great piece of music for another. Believe me when I says I totally love Liebestraum - I learned to play to piece on piano by myself even though I wasn't sure I would be able to do it.

[picman138]

The Godfather thats all i can think about when i heard this song

[yin1]

@picman138 word.

[vanillatoast14]

anyone know the lyrics? I'm dying to find them I can sing the notes well Dx

[ax974]

Ave Maria is an amazing piece end of story! But to use it so effectively, truly brilliant and note worthy.

[GunBunnyShift]

*dies of the epicness comming from the song*

[SeesternNanaho]

this song makes me shiver...

to me, Spike lives and he always will....

[22thesonicfan]

Where does this song come from? I mean, what episode? I can't remember.

[TheWickedWizardOfOz1]

@22thesonicfan Ballad of Fallen Angels. When Faye and Vicious meet at the opera house, "Ave Maria" is being performed on the stage.

[lilj2345]

@22thesonicfan one of the most memorable moments, as its the first time Faye and Vicious meet (in person)

Faye looks over and sees Mao Yenrai's corpse sitting next to her in the Opera box, Vicious appears.

Vicious: Your trembling....

Faye: Who are you!?

Vicious: Vicious....

Faye: ...... (eyes go from this o - o to this O - O)

[cmarguel]

woosh

[cmarguel]

woosh

[cmarguel]

one of yoko kanno's best compositions

[TheWickedWizardOfOz1]

@cmarguel She didn't compose this.

[hungoversundays]

Watch scenes from war on mute with this song playing, it fits surprisingly well lol

[LAnimeMaster]

A song that touches both the heart and soul, sending you into a nice, thoughtful euphoria.

[Momentum139]

Viscous.

[SteampunkPagan]

Hmmmm

wonder what singer this is?

Japanese or a European

[WurstbrotOfSteel]

@SteampunkPagan

european, a polish singer, i forgott his name.

[lilj2345]

@SteampunkPagan I believe the singers name Is Jersy Knetig, if I remember correctly.

[sandielephant]

dear lord.... such an epic soundtrack to such an epic show. with all that's on tv today, i just have to ask: how did something this fantastic ever happen?

[Evak103]

damnit im crying again

[mastaotenko]

How does a latin song fit so many japanese animes so amazingly well?

[JRythmus]

this show had everthing! great music, great charaters, great fight scenes, great story, great animation, great writing, great everything! it can make u sad, laugh, scared, and happy. when this show ended u felt it (at least me) i was sittin in front of the sreen and i could take my eyes off it, as the words fell slowly and the body of spike grow farther and farther away... FUCK THIS! i gotta watch this show again!!!

[Replauge]

In all honesty, I was never expecting something as classy as this in cowboy bebop. Not saying C.B. isn't classy, it's just all I expect is awesome jass styled songs. Not opera!

[CrazyIvan1745]

@bbigrocker and you obviously don't know him because by saying his name he will come and drag you away! (Sorry Freakazoid reference I really couldn't resist :P)

[inferno232]

If I ever join a crime syndicate, this will be required to be played at all hits and gang wars.

[Evak103]

@inferno232 im right with you on that

[harlowsolid]

See you Space Cowboy...

[ryan0ff]

@harlowsolid damn it...my line...

[KOGARASUMARU79]

Not many animes come anywhere close to Bebop, especially recently, it makes me sad that the show didnt air longer, but if it had aired longer it wouldnt have been "in the bebop spirit". Im glad they ended the show instead of adding a bunch of filler like most of todays garbage....

[deathnote136]

Cowboy Bebop: The anime that got me into GOOD music :D

[stopislamophobia]

@deathnote136 what "good" music is is totally subjective. however, the less infiltrated the music is by economists and slime ball producers, the more artistic its spirit. <3 yoko kanno

[TheDavid2222]

@stopislamophobia you just contradicted yourself, good job. LOL

[stopislamophobia]

@TheDavid2222 contradiction was necessary. "LOL" ?

[LysergIY]

@deathnote136 dumbass

[TheDavid2222]

@deathnote136 that's awesome dude! I love that this show exposes people to such great music. I have been listening to more and more jazz thanks to this show.

[TwilightFire]

@deathnote136 Cowboy Bebop: The anime that got me into GOOD anime!

[loganmwright904]

@deathnote136 like x10000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­

[Janograd]

@loganmwright904 What a coincidence! Me too!

[markthebigogre]

chris tucker is god



[crapmunky99]

"Who are you?"

"...Vicious."

O_O

I had no idea they actually put this on the OST!

Amazing!

[nikeflight17]

there are 2 options when listenign to this song

1.u can do an epic slow motion drive by to this

2. dropping your ice cream and watching it epically fall in slow motion=(

[Ediore666]

[thebigbo]

@nikeflight17 OR watch Cowboy bepop at the right episode :p

[fgd49]

@nikeflight17 i choose the secret thierd option

Epicly run away from an explosion to this ... in slow motion

[Sprey]

@nikeflight17 you my friend are avidly ridiculous yet strangely accurate

[DarkMobias]

@nikeflight17 OR, you can play the NO RUSSIAN mission on modern warfare 2

[GunBunnyShift]

@DarkMobias Nice one there. Imma try that now that you said that!

[An0m1n0us]

@nikeflight17 3 people dropped their ice cream.

[nikeflight17]

@An0m1n0us lol hahahahahaahahhaha bro you are tooo funny!!!

[Billy145891]

@nikeflight17 you forgot the third option listening to the mighty sounds of World War II fighters while listening to this song.

[masterhand399]

@nikeflight17 lmfao!!!

[GunBunnyShift]

@nikeflight17 You have no idea how much I love your comment, man! LMAO! Nice one

[nikeflight17]

@GunBunnyShift lol no prob bro,gotta keep the love and laughter out here on youtube=)

[QuatermassMan]

@nikeflight17 Ice cream. (sniff) Tragic!

[BLCKFLAME666]

@nikeflight17 this does sound like something that should've been in the Godfather

[RudojiLape]

@nikeflight17 First option brings up Double Clef FM in GTA III XD

[spiralbluesun]

@nikeflight17 What about an epic slow-mo funeral scene?

[888matsudo888]

@nikeflight17

or slowly chuggin a colt 45 because you wish your life could be better but your stuck with the life you

've chosen

[TeOctober]

@nikeflight17 What about slow dance?

[SpiteBellow]

This is such a beautiful song! ...But then I remember when this was used in the show...how he was dead...

[FranksAJATT]

i had a friend listen to this and he says to me "I don't like opera." seriously wtf? i mean i don't care for most opera that I've heard either but how could anyone refute the amazing power and beauty of this particular song. i dont understand some people, i really don't.

[bateryacidinc]

The funny thing is that this was supposed to be sung by Juliet near the end of the opera. I have never found a female who can do it this good. No homo

[ReyAudentio]

@bateryacidinc Barbarra Bonney

[bateryacidinc]

@ReyAudentio Touche

[aDiLello77]

anyone knows if this version was really composed by Yoko Kanno? or its an interpretation of a musician from the past (like Schubert for example...) ?



[sschafi1]

I put up a video response with my arrangement if anyone's interested. The vid description has the download link to the audio and sheet music for those of you that want to perform it =)

[Maskedheroful]

2 people must be really blind to have missed the like botton lol :P

[FranksAJATT]

ah i love this tune ^_^

[gintoki91]

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Beautiful Song!!!!!!!!!!!!

MasterPiece

SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY...

[Daedriclord23]

cowboy bebop, trigun, Samurai Champloo, and my personal favorite "outlaw star" were all the driving force for my childhood....what happened....what happened to the time we could watch an anime with a griping story about a space fareing bounty hunter, or pirate...possibly with a crazy cat/women sidekick...or a guy with a cybo arm. or an OP android with a heart of gold....(dragon ball Z also....<,<...) all the new crap needs to be purged...

[jonharana]

@Daedriclord23 I would suggest Black Lagoon- essentially an homage to Hollywood action flicks. Its set in modern times and centers around the hijinks of a small band of mercenaries/pirates doing lots of odd jobs to make some money.

Also the English dub is excellent, IMO superior to the Japanese dub.

Unfortunately no genius soundtrack like Bebop or Champloo.

[TheProd100]

@Daedriclord23 if you are looking for some good space anime i would suggest Legend of the galactic heroes its not just the best "space opera " but also the best anime i have ever seen, other would be Planetes,Seikai no Monshou... actually i would label cowboy bebop under music catagory than space catagory, Ghost in the Shell ,Berserk(one of the best),Rurouni Kenshin,Neon Genesis Evangelion ,One piece(best Shounen ) have some good OST too.

[KayneArcheron]

@Daedriclord23

Even though it's about 3 years old now, I highly suggest Gurren Lagann.

[Goutetsu13]

@Daedriclord23 Have you seen Captain Harlock? It's about a space pirate. It's from '78. It's pretty good, but it has an OVA from 2002 that is amazing.

[TheBlackSMA]

Shinichirō Watanabe, we need more anime. The animes out now are pale in comparison to Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo.

[HeyMrKindred]

@TheBlackSMA BUT BAKUGAN IS AMAZING TOO! :DDD im totally kidding. Shinichiro is a natural force of anime

[MegaPablob]

@TheBlackSMA Word dog

[DemonSoulAngel]

Whats funny is that my chior sang this song and after the preformance, my friend came over and I poped this episode on and we started laughing and sang along.

[HMGiggleFairy]

@DemonSoulAngel Then your choir instructor/teacher is fuckin' pro.

[xox945]

anybody remember what episode this was in? so beautiful..

[FunkyRaspberry]

@xox945 it's from Ballad of Fallen Angels.. i think that's session #5

[DarkDragonX1989]

The best song ever. Forget just in an anime, this is the best song EVER :-)

[DocFrogger]

-"You're trembling."

-"Eh? Who are you? Tell me!"

-"Vicious."

[screwthenet]

BRAVO!!!

[Pilf1980]

luciano pavarotti  ♥

[JiinIshimako1989]

This song has a place close to the top of the list of best songs of the show but i have to give the number one spot to Blue or

Call me Call me.

[callmemute2]

awsome and beautiful:)

[8KingIronfish8]

What is this kind of singing called? Anybody?

[Jamiegottagun]

They're doing opera singing. Its latin

[Ninox37]

@8KingIronfish8

Opera.

[THEIMMORTALKIAM]

this is the best version of this song, the only other ave maria i can listen to for hours is from Hitman blood money

[sickbuddha9]

@THEIMMORTALKIAM

In my opinion this is the best ive ever heard...

----> The most beautiful rendition of Ave Maria I've ever heard

The cowboy bebop version is good too but i dont think its better than that... Whatever ...

[alejitoc]

the soundrak of xow bob bepop is fantastic .

[DangerYourselfCopies]

Something wrong with your keyboard?

[sungod1019]

listen you punks, I want to knw what song Cartoon network used as there daily closing theme song??

[TaraKitaideHunter]

@sungod1019 Do you mean the closing for this anime? It's called The Real Folk Blues.

[Maj0ra]

This song suited the moment so impossibly well in Ep5.

[flamingpoodleofdoom]

Is this from when Faye is in the top box at the Opera?

[KingLantto]

Yes.

[KidBamf]

@flamingpoodleofdoom  DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

[flamingpoodleofdoom]

KidBamf... XD

[OldSlyEyes]

@flamingpoodleofdoom i know i got a dumb name lol

[Miano]

Everytime I hear this it relaxes me.

[bmilo5]

Act, this was in #5, Ballad for Fallen Angels, possibly the best episode of the series

[Desintyx2]

Ballad *Of* Fallen Angels, rather.

[Actraiser1]

What part does this play at in Bebop? I don't recall, so much beautiful music from that show :D

[sschafi1]

I made an arrangement of it for Tenor voice with piano accompaniment. It's all done, but I just need to know what the lyrics are. I have no idea what he's saying lol.

I can hear Ave Maria, and Sanctus and the end of some cadences :P

[mistakrunk]

@sschafi1 Dude if you have figured out what the lyrics are, please post them somewhere; I would love to perform this piece one day for one of my vocal recitals...but don't wanna sing "Ave Maria, blah blah dabi dah!!"

[sschafi1]

@mistakrunk I have figured out what they are. I'll message you a link to the sheet music :)

[TwitchyPaul24]

@mistakrunk origenmusic(dot)com/ave-maria-­lyrics(dot)html

[bulbinking]

I love ballad of fallen angels since it had three of the best song ever cameoed on cowboy bebop

Ave Maria

Rain

Green Bird

aside from the first clash between spike and vicious in the series

[Thesixthgoon]

I can't really listen any other version of Ave Maria. This is the only only that gets to me and makes me really happy.

What a wonderful, beautiful, magical song.

[LittleQube]

me2 mate

[blindseer95]

Check out Mary Hopkin's version. ^^

[lovelessemotion]

LOL WHAT?

ResidentMovies  >.>

[ResidentMovies]

great to masturbate to

[BreakerdeGodot]

You. Sick. Bastard.

[6mon25key92]

i like this version of Ave Meria the first time i heard it was on "hitman" the game but i like this one way more

[Anime2Music]

My tears just showed up in my eyes...beautiful..I didn't even realize it was on the CB sound track. I'm so impressed with the sound track and the emotional rollercoaster of the Movie, too. I made the Movie Eng Dub into a playlist on my channel for those of you interested in seeing again or for the first time.:-) It's one of the best Eng Dub movies I've ever seen. Enjoy! I've watched like 10 times already. Sheer awesomenees!

[setsunathemoo]

damn this is one of the best renditions i've EVER heard... yoko kanno is such a fucking genius... god bless that woman...
