This song makes me feel so many things: uncontrollable sadness, inspiration, happiness, hope and even emptiness. It's such an incredibly beautiful song that I can't help myself but to listen every single day. This song is an experience!
This song makes me cry because it reminds me of someone that I love so much with all my heart and he's no longer with me. I wish he could, I wish he could see that i'm here for him.
This apparently is a song that move Roger Waters from Pink Floyd (according to an appearance I found of him on Desert Island Discs). If it can move someone like that, that says a LOT about this piece. :)
@tall32guy tallguy I reakon you'd be interested in this too, TheWTMchannel. I just came across it, if you like Roger Waters, Desert Island Disc, This piece from Babel you sound like you're into wondering about the world. I was blown away, answered so many things for me
i composed a piano piece thats kinda similar to sakamoto's masterpiece. what happened was that i tried to play sakamoto's piece on piano by ear, but i ended up playing my own knda melody. ROFL~ a serendiptious discovery. lol~ but it still sounds serene :)
This moment or the father discovers his daughter on the balcony is one of the most beautiful scenes that I have never seen in cinema! I cried so much... The music is really sublime, thank you Inaritu and Santaolalla for this magic moment which you made me live! (Sorry for my english, i'm French and i never have a good english teacher !)

Despite the melancholic tone of this music, I have always found it strangely and singularly uplifting... it reminds me by example of how much beauty there is in the world. One of the most stunning and sublime pieces of music I have ever heard.
@bugzyenglish Watching Babel at home brought me to google then here lol. I watched the movie before and then that song came out and i didnt put it together until i recently watched it again a few months ago
Normally, I don't listen to Trey Songz but that opening bit with this sample drew me due to the unusual depth. I didn't know he had taken it from Sakamoto. It explains a lot.
I don't care if this song is basically looping itself over and over again, I have listened to this song for a full straight day and I still wasn't tired of it.
Ohh so She was a Japanese girl? Thats explain everything. Jap girls can still act like a real woman, due the society mentality what they got at home. Especially compared to the Australian girls.
But I totally agree with You, they all cute, good manner, loyal, all stuff what need to make a men happy. I envy on You taste a happiness and enjoyness the form of this relationship. Regards bro!
its a shame that so many people know the song "Cant be friends" from Trey Songz without knowing that this is the original...in general too little number of people know Ryuichi Sakamoto
there are two songs within this, at least i believe so. I purchased Bibo No Azoara on iTunes about two years ago; the version I'd gotten was 11 minutes long and it was only the part of the song from the beginning to the 4:12 mark. The original is over 7 minutes long, so I purchased the extended version. The rest of the song on this video is Endless flight. Same guys, but two completely different songs.
If you like this you should seek out Michael Nyman's "Drowning By Number 3" from the soundtrack of Peter Greenaway's "Drowning By Numbers". Mournful until the last few chords when it changes and becomes joyous and hopeful - amazing.
My favourite movie of all time, and this song fits perfectly with that final scene in it, and the feeling that.... "everything turned out how it should have done" (except the Moroccan boy was shot dead). Sometimes this music makes me cry. Other times it just makes me sit and think for a long time. Ryuichi Sakamoto is an absolute genius.
Just saw this movie, and all I can say is wow, Trey Songz's production team dug deep through their catalog. Great song both ways, his lyrics helped bring a different voice to it.
@UFOSPACE1999 Geisha was nominated the year before this. Of course, Gustavo Santaolalla did the score for this AND Brokeback Mountain which did win over Geisha, so it's basically the same thing. Clearly the score for Geisha just wasn't cutting it. How could you possibly hate on something this beautiful? Damn.
I just seen this movie yesterday for the first time and was like dang TREY SONGZ song is playin at the end lol but now i c where he got the beat from.... AND I WISH WE NEVA DID IT lol dang dats cool
I think I comment about every 3 months..... this arrangement is beautiful!! Simple strings together with the soulful piano! Absolute pure harmony.... Strings at the end very "middle of the east" sounding until 5:39 but still!!! How can I judge such greatness?? This is beautiful modern day "classical" music.
Everybody on here is getting mad at Trey Songz singing on this, but every1 fails to mention the guy who sampled and produced it.:Troy Taylor...It ain't ALL Trey's fault, lol
