  • This is composition,.

  • the best movie that I have seen, and i seen more than 1000 movies...

  • i think it's stupid, but the first song makes me cry! Maybe it's because of the movie, I don't know, but it's amazing, makes me feel happy and sad and ... it's ... well, no words left for me to say :)

  • O my soul...

  • I am not a fan of this movie, I will say that the cinematography and the portrayal of those islands were some of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen in any movie. This makes me think of my step father, a Marine Corps vet in WW2 and was on these islands (Guadalcanal and New Caledonia). He never talked about combat but often told me the beauty of these places. This gives a me great appreciation of the things that he must have seen. I'm actually crying listening to this, I miss him dearly.

  • MI laekem tumas...!!

  • Why did i forgot this soundtrack? *runs off to buy it*

  • Comment removed

  • the most beutiful religous melodies ever tuff tumas!!

  • this song gives my dog and I peace in an otherwise chaotic world

  • 99 francs !

  • believe* more like it

  • these songs make me want to convert

    

  • @avemnevoiesideiarba Then convert! It's easier said than done, yes, but you should at least take a look into faith. I'm a Christian, but I read the works of Nietzsche, Sartre, and Camus out of my own curiosity. It's good to familiarize yourself with the other side of the argument, anyway, so even if you don't come out a convert, you'll still come out with a greater appreciation and understanding of both sides :)

  • Beautiful people, happy with the simple things in life. These people know nothing of the wars we wage and the hatred that drives our industrial economies. The Melanesian people live like human beings were intended to, thats why they call their little islands the happiest place on earth.

  • such a beatiful melody for such an evil intention

  • the most calming 7 minutes of my life.

  • What R they saying ? Can anyone translate this?

  • @summerzzzzz55 It's Tok Pisin, Melanesian Pidgin English, or Neo-Melanesian. It's like a common language that evolved from English. Only someone that understands it, can translate it properly, but it has elements of English in it that you can recognise...

  • @summerzzzzz55 "God U Tekem Laef Blong Mi" means “God, you have taken my life.” and is obviously a spiritual hymn sung by the choir.

  • Kiss myu AAAA MAN/

  • just gives me tears of joy these songs

  • I seen another world...

  • Thanks for hosting, from an amazing movie, and a very moving + beautiful song (chant)

    a thin red line is the solider's version of a wwii movie, while saving private ryan is hollywood's.

  • @rongola Agreed. James Jones, the author of the Thin Red Line, was the real deal: the book was based on his combat experience in Guadalcanal, where he was wounded.

  • I remembering hearing this when i first saw the film and loving it. It wasn't until i heard an entire school of Namibian children sing when i travelled there this summer that i remembered it again. It is sad that this type of communal singing is lost in the western world. In some ways i really envy people like this.

  • I am the only one I know who like this, love this..

  • @0wizardofoz0 nope

  • 16 people have no soul.

  • @Cuncuardia you have no soul for caring

  • @dopedfrog Sorry, but more than you can imagine. All the best.

  • I like like...like really

  • I loved this music and never knew it was about Jesus. Knowing such does not make me like it less or more because the music stands alone. It could be about Drain-O and it would not change how I feel about it.

  • terrific movie to bad malick blew it with tree of life

  • @moelarrycurrly He blew it? you mean he surpassed it! the tree of life is the best movie made in the past 25 years.

  • @aarschgezicht No the best movie haha, but I'm glad you liked, it really was something special

  • tell one civilisation on this earth that dosnt belive in one or more higher being its in all of us we belive by nature in somthing bigger than us

  • ATTENTION!!

    Being a member or follower of any faith or religion is a PERSONAL choice, just the same as NOT being a follower of any of them is a PERSONAL choice.

    so lets all shut the fuck up, stop religion/belief bashing, respect other's choices and just enjoy this amazing and moving music...

    Peeeeace!

  • @Lewis351XE I can respect your free will, but I can't help my heart breaking people would make the right choice. Love may love despite all iniquities, but it cannot cease to will their removal.

  • M-A-G-N-I-F-I-Q-U-E

  • So sweet, and angelic.

  • fantastico!!!!

  • Clearly, in a lot of ways those two guys on the island and the natives led much happier lives than what we have to go through in our modernized world. That's not to say that technology is inherently bad, we just abuse it and lose our contact with the beauty and simplicity of the world around us.

  • The Thin Red Line is a great movie because it shows how war brings out both the absolute best in people and the absolute worst. It cuts right through the bullshit, and how you react to it is based on who you are.

  • @almostconcerned Yes, I agree with you entirely. The island people and Witt with his friend, represent the best in people, whereas the ugliness of war and the soldier's suffering represents the worst of humanity. You can specifically see throughout the movie that Witt leans towards the better side of humanity, though unfortunately he gets caught up in war which eventually leads to his demise. Long live peace.

  • this is typical Anglican choir in Solomon Islands, Melanesia - the tunes are from Isabel Province; commonly known in the country for their beautiful songs!

  • Kudos to Hans Zimmer for finding such heavenly music !!

  • I finished the book a few months ago and I must say there are some MAJOR differences. All in all I found Malick's version better. I can also definitely tell Malick's biggest catalysts were Charlie Dale and Lieutenant Band. I won't put any spoilers here but if you look closely I think you will agree.

  • One of the most impressive movies I've ever seen. I'm not usually into "artsy" movies but this got me right where it counts. If you didn't see this on the big screen, you've missed an amazing experience.

  • LOL it's in Pidigin English

    I used to live there back in my childhood. used to hear this stuff all the time, in church and elsewhere. Didn't think much of it then

    Title means - God you take my life from me

  • The voices of Melanesians are angels wings stroking through the breezes of heaven.

  • <3.

  • There's a place in my country, Flores, where Komodo Dragon lives ... People there have the same voice character as Melanesian ...

    Geographically speaking .. i think its have the same terrain as i saw in the movie, since i lived there for two years

  • @wackyadhie Some similarities between Flores and the Solomons. Very tropical, some dry terrain, grassy hills, etc. But in general, the Solomons are comprised of islands that are densely studded with tropical hardwoods and palms. The population density is relatively low compared to many of the Indonesian islands so the environment has stayed relatively intact.

  • @tobyboy1 I guess u're rite about the density, just when i thought the island were too quiet and guess what there's another 'quiet' island ... such as Solomon Islands ..

  • @wackyadhie I don't know if you scuba dive, but if you ever decide to visit the Solomons, Munda Bay or Uepi not only have incredibly scenic lagoons, but the diving is amazing. Of course, Indonesia has world class dive sites as well. Cheers...

  • love it. thanks for making this

  • iv seen another life!

  • Love this compilation, but what's with the pitch bend @ 5:25? I didn't notice it before, but now I can't un-hear it..

  • Hans Zimmer is my religion

  • Hans Zimmer forever!

  • these are some of the greatest sounds my ears have ever heard.

  • @nicorlam i so agree....

  • RESPECT>>>>

  • I am an atheist but this beautiful affirmation of faith moves me to tears.

  • @philopus94 Being an atheist is poopy

  • @watchmyshoes22 ...okay... wow, I would take that as an insult...but that just seems like a childish way of insulting us only because we don't believe in God.

  • @k00kied0ugh That's just how I feel waking up every morning knowing that some people don't know the love of Jesus.

  • @watchmyshoes22 yeah okay. Whatever pops your popcorn I guess. You're allowed to believe whatever you want, but sometimes it's best to keep your mouth shut (or in this case...keep your fingers off the keyboard). You wouldn't want someone going around saying "Being Christian is poopy" or "Believing in Jesus is poopy" would you? Just saying.

  • @Iker666beast your a fuckin goon kid. get that shit outta your name you decieving little cunt you think thats the way to go good luck kid being a fucking forever sweating hermit. ill pray for your ass but as it goes "god only helps those who help themselves". gl brother.

  • @philopus94

    Im athiest as well, but this is truely, truely, moving. makes me want to join the marins and travel to places like this to learn their culture.

  • fantástico e emocionante!

  • I just watched movie and I don't know what this is and what I'm supposed to say about this, but one thing I can say is these native songs were great. And it had great cinematography, and atmosphere, and such things. I'm pretty sure I'll love this movie when I watch it later on, but as of now, let me just listen to these tunes.

  • This is beyond words. I'll just leave it to that.

  • I saw this movie when I was a kid and I thought it was just fine. Tempted to watch a complete no brainer, today I watched this movie for the very first time in a long time. It completely blew me away. What I do hate about this movie, is that I simply cannot find any way to even try and tell anyone how much I adore this movie. I felt like packing my bags and go to those Islands and I still do.

  • The first song always makes me so fucking sad.

    That's all I gotta say.

  • Sorry for the rudeness but i'm desperate... where can I found the instrumental version of the first two??? the first one is listenable in the scene where welsh and witt are talking togheter in that kind of wood's house, the second in the trailer where the children are swimming.... I can't believe they're only for the movie use

  • @Averan27 The"y have" not been released.

  • @cosmosspring

    Thanks. a lot.

    not directly, but browsing your channel I've found clues of what I was looking for... I feel so stupid... All that I had to do was to write the right keyword on youtube, but I didn't, maybe 'cause I think too much in another language, rather than english

    thanks again, I love you ( no, not really, I don't even know you but you know what I mean...)

    sorry my terrifying english

  • althought i don't understand what there saying ,i know in my heart that they are answers to my questions :/

  • @11mrjarjar That's just beautiful.

  • merci :)

  • Just moving... especially with the orchestra at the end

  • pretty much just start crying when I hear this : (

    : )

    strikes a cord so true

  • Lovely movie, lovely music.

  • Semper Fidelis soldiers...

  • I'm quite interested in what the Japanese had to say about the Melanesians they encountered.

  • "The natives were fascinated with coming in contact with the white and yellow men, these people were neutral and helped anyone regardless if they were Japanese or American they helped, I was almost ready to ready to believe that the war was over."

    "What was also fascinating and somewhat ironic to me was that most of the hardcore Marines from the south respected them and didn't seem to display the same animosity to them because of their skin color as they would back in the states."

  • @Obvfailure

    Who said these quotes?

  • this makes me cry .... this film is "bigger than life "

  • *these

  • Put's all this crap pop 'stars' to shame. Proper music. Take note Bono!

  • sounds of simplicity, love and peace

  • This song was also used in "Mr. Nobody" by Jaco Van Dormael, during the angels of oblivion scene. Both great movies, both featuring Jared Leto.

  • Comment removed

  • Please, watch my video :) (God Yu Tekem Laef Blong Mi)

  • i love this song

  • watch?v=KnYAC2_hnKg

    ''SAVING MY PRIVATES" (2011 - tom hanks)

    a MUST see video. you need a good stomach - added yesterday

  • When i see this movie i'm always crying. (male 22yrs old, and i'm not a girlie type)

  • PRECIOSA

  • Brings back memories.

  • Wow, this gave me chills.  This was a good movie, been a long time since I watched it.

  • one of the best antiwar movies ever made

  • @berninilover One of the best movies ever made, full stop. It says more about what it is to be human than almost any other film I can think of.

  • @terrabun 100% agree

  • @terrabun Well the film definitely examines the constructs of the human mind. It shows the limits of physical and emotional suffering. The Melanesian village in the beginning of the film is used as a contrasting idea for a way of life. They live simply and with nature, with no Feudal system. Thus there is nothing to fight over.

  • @terrabun With the possible exception of The Tree of Life. Malick can be spoken of in the same breath as Shakespeare, Conrad, Blake, Milton, Beethoven, Mozart, Michelangelo, Joyce, Yeats - all the great artisans of history.

  • @Bertaut It's the poetic aspect in his films that give movies a new dimension which gives a different feeling alltogether to the audience, sheer class. Same done here.

  • @californiaconor78 I feel the same way about this music. It's just so pure and positive. Almost divine...

  • Very unique vocals I love it

  • I would had done everything in my power to stay at the island they show in the film, just remember the quote.... 'I've seen another world.. sometimes i think it was just my imagination..' Man that gave me chills, i've seen how cruel the world can be, and i know what he means.

  • Beautiful!

  • pure magic!

  • Hermosa y dura película.

  • i wasnt bored for a second watching this movie, i was fascinated by every expression, emotion, every single word. john c reilly was deffinatelyy one of the best characters. you could see so much about him through his face and then you get that little glimpse at the end. amazing

  • Everybody go see The Tree of Life now!

    Pretty strange to think about how the TRL changed from its original premise. It's a fabulous movie, but I would have loved to have seen it in its original version. Poor Brody, btw :(

  • If you are watching this movie in 2011, push on like!!

  • R.I.P Witt

  • This movie is so underrated while Saving Private Ryan is so overrated. Love the soundtrack. Malick is a genius and an artist.

  • @tisbutafleshwound---Let's think now : "The New World"by Malick and compare to "Schindler's List" or "Empire of the Sun" by Spielberg....Is Malick still a genius???

  • @al12torr Yes. The New World is a supreme masterpiece and in my opinion, is Malick's most accomplished film (I've yet to see his 5th). Another underrated masterpiece. Its much better then either of those Spielberg films you've mentioned. In my opinion, comparing Spielberg to Malick is like comparing Stephenie Meyer to Shakespeare. But I suppose we disagree.

  • @al12torr I say Spielberg hands down...wonderful director...

  • @RainWizard85 Not comparable. At all.

  • This sound go straight in my heart

  • If u listen closely; u might pick up those English lines, Its a broken English dialect a direct result of the influence the American's have left on the shores of these islands, and as a Solomon Islander, we're still using it today. It's called pidjin.

  • Simply the best, most inspirational war movie ever made. It's not some American hero bullshit. This one lifts your spirit.

  • Deep within everyones soul loves wraps tightly around you.. This brought tears to my eyes at this day and age seeing all the hatred and violence when in reality NOBODY wants that but its bred everywhere :( "Were living in a world thats blown itself to hell" Realest words throughout that entire movie. Keep your faith and spread the love god bless you all.

  • one of the best warr movie ever made....

  • shockingly moving :.)

  • Real music you don't hear, you feel. I have no idea what these people are saying but I understand every word.

  • Haunting and just simply beautiful.

  • Goosebumps followed by tears.

  • Humanity in song form.

  • stunning music for a stunnig movie

  • thin red line....best movie ever. watched it till sunrise up all night will never forget the greatest movie of all time, there is another world out there, its up to you to fine it.

  • Remember as a kid loved senseless violent war movies and saving prvate ryan was my fav but after some growing up saw this again and it hit me hard, in a good and euphoric way.

  • @islanderboi89

    Same here man, same here.

  • @islanderboi89

    Totally agree with the sentiment, though having the best battle sequences doesnt make saving private ryan senseless though.

  • @gfdog @gfdog sorry if i sounded like pissing on SPR, I loved it too hell the veterans said it was right on with everything they went through so can't hate that, but i dunno know Thin Red Line just had more meaning behind the war and the voice overs were great, is just me or did the island feel like another character? just great in so many levels lol :)

  • @islanderboi89 Yeah I know what you mean. They kinda touch on different aspects of war which makes it difficult to compare. But yer I agree with your general thoughts- I love the fact that TRL looks at war on a philosophical and emotional level like that- so much more depth than most depictions! Interesting thought about the island- it sure did have an effect of its own i think. I liked the way they brought the natives into the story too- it was touching and well done.

  • Exelente video..........

  • these songs are amazing and make me forget about money, hate, war and other and  everything bad in the world. Takes me away to paradise for 7 min and 10 sec. does anyone know if this perticular choir has other recordings perhaps?

  • Comment removed

  • One of the best movies ever. Very inspiring to think about life.

  • 10 people are retarded, how they could vote 'no'? I can't stand it. This music is beautiful, I was crying after film finished and during it...

  • Incredible music. Very good video thanks

  • Best war film ever, period!

  • makes my arm hairs become dressed

  • Comment removed

  • linda musica.

  • i loved the two tunes so much i learned to play them on my guitar. i haven't seen the movie, but it looks great. i will definentally see it sometime in the future. peace

  • Thanks God :)

  • can i buy this kind of music? i love it.

  • @uber1and Yes, search Amazon for Melanesian Choir

  • always gives me goose bumps to hear such innocent music. Modern pop music could never compare or create such beautiful tones.

  • Music in its purest form.

    Who could not like this?

  • @Slikhemaan justin biber's fan club =D
