[KNHendrickson]

[mcpartridge]

@KNHendrickson why dont you just download from youtube?

[KNHendrickson]

«and this bitter earth may not be so bitter after all.» L'espoir.

J'en pleure.

[dualauto13]

This is so beautiful, the only word that I can think of is...honest. It's so very honest.

[ditavoska]

Thank You, děkuji

[Monkfisher]

My heart goes out to you widower2010 and to everyone here dealing with grief.

[ubt09]

sometimes required the death ...

[Fimbultyr]

This should be the title track of a Zombie Apocalypse movie. Seriously.

[widower2010]

thank you.....

[widower2010]

I lost my beautiful wife to cancer last year. She was 40.

[IngeniousMrToad]

@widower2010 my heart goes out to you man

[dd2del]

@widower2010 sorry to hear that.. I hope you well.

[sarlokkin]

@widower2010 I'm sorry...it's so silly of me to think I am the only one that is hurt...

[sira196x]

This song is emotional.

[DutchinKorea]

This song just made me cry. Amazing.

[Suckerpunchu]

If melancholy was a drug, this track would cause you to overdose upon the first listen. : (

[roackmai]

i cried again the second time i listen to this......

[roackmai]

i cried for no reason, wtf???

[schnek23]

beautiful.....



[Quba40]

reminds me my exgirlfriend.after this song I felt even more sad.I watched this movie because of her suggestion((( I really miss those days.

it's astonishing hw song can be so sad and beaut.,cryable and makes your soul fly at the same moment

[hairstarlette2015wl]

Thumbs up if you first heard this song in inception and went mad trying to find it

[itlfa2009]

@hairstarlette2015wl Yeah I sure would of gone mad, seeing that it was played during the end credits of the movie Shutter Island, not Inception. I can see the confusion however, both movies have a fantastic soundtrack, Decrapio (sry everyone, it's my name for the guy. I gotta give him credit for being an incredible actor though.) and a similar theme of a wife who lost control of herself. Inception has a considerably happier ending however. Shutter Island breaks your heart.

[25DoubleDare]

@mstnixon The 1st dream sequence, when Teddy sees his dead wife. 

[angelblow]

what a beautiful song...!

[25DoubleDare]

I loved hearing this in Shutter Island.

[jelbows2]

this is without a doubt the most beautiful song ever written.........

[nicco47]

@jelbows2 Which part ?

[kimoda1990]

this song is amazing. can you just imagine an electro/dubstep of this one! the best of both.

[LoopMasterBulu]

@kimoda1990 You can't be serious.

[Narknarks]

@kimoda1990 In the makin my friend :)

[cweetch]

I have arranged this for String quintet with approx. vocal cues. If anybody wants the arrangement, send me a message and I will send you details. x

[XxVaKaSxX]

I wish people from my generation would appreciate real music.

Not that mainstream pop crap =/

Oh na na, what's my name.

[just24more]

@XxVaKaSxX not all pop is crap just like 98%

[TrackerBT1]

Just wonderful, thank you for posting this.

[SudsontheRoof]

For those of you remembering people who were dear to you, this is a song dear to me. Another really beautiful one is All That Remains by Josh Kramer. Look it up here on YT - gorgeous stuff.

[dsafatle]

Priceless

[shrapn0]

Awesome cross over.

[gucylucy24]

Ahhhh this is inspiring music!! I'm a huge Max Richter fan and i did my own version of his tune 'Infra 6' with vocals and lyrics so it would be nice if some folks could check it out because while my take on his music might not be so special , you can see that from 'this bitter earth' how some of his music can be brought to life even more by vocals and powerful words. You can find my version of infra 6 on my channel under the video 'winning the war'. thanks folks.

[keeliaXXmoeller]

My father passed away a short time ago. This song reminds me that even though this tragedy will affect me forever, life goes on and there's still some good on this earth.

[SKhaburzania]

<3 ...

[MrLowerworm]

Clyde Otis wrote this song in 1960. Dinah recorded it in 1960 and then passed away in 1963. She was one of a kind, with a voice of one in a million. Few words saying more than most any other song recorded. That Leonardo Dicaprio would use this at the end of his "Shutter Island" credits says a lot. May be his finest film, when understood from it's emotional content. I was 17 in 1963 and this song left me dumbfounded even then. We were totally blessed having Dinah Washington come down to earth.

[Lichtfee004]

wonderful song ..we are the world ..we have to change ... much love ann

[apollorocker]

very few songs have the moving power that this one clearly has and I find it sad that music like this is passed aside for whatever mtv puts out instead when this clearly says so much more.

[sabvansaarloos]

so painfully beautiful- absolutely unexplainable.

[coolavione7]

how can something be so beautiful 

[soro0102]

Something which, somehow, is not from our planet and belongs to entire Universe can be heard.

[lumicycle]

Never really put comments up about music just enjoy listering but had to about this because it moved me so much ,it is the reason why music has to be in your life it gives you so many emotions.

[terekicsaba]

God bless you, Dinah Washington. I like you.

[shad8623]

I've read the book & seen the movie Shutter Island 3x, so imagine my surprise when I was too lazy to change the channel while the credits rolled and this song broke into my consciousness with those painful notes. I had to stop what I was doing and just......listen

[keeliaXXmoeller]

This song gives me goosebumps, and brings me to tears whenever I hear it. It is a true masterpiece.

[ProdigyInTheFormOfMe]

This song is begging to be used in some 2012'ish kind of film.

Just before everything collapses, the screaming mixes with the music and you have that slow-motion shot, of people clinging to their beloved ones. Definitely.

[WhatsGoinOn135]

this song just moves me to tears every time i hear it <3

[mtWHITE100]

the singer wrecked it

[ewelina3535]

10 people haven't speakers.

[lbcu]

you should whom cries upon this song because the darkness times youre having, must read fernando pessoa poem, that read in english sometin like if you want to kill yourself why you dont want to kill yourself, is the perfect poem to ave, whe you feel like you are a rose thats has being covered by dust.

I always read it when i need a push, or to laugh of how vain im being, life is such a deep ocean bt has beautifull waves to ride.

search on google school for souls earth and maybe you like one of

[VampiraSlayer]

This guy... Max Richter is a genius

[rochey1010]

This is so beautiful and gut-wrenching...I don't know whether i should be smiling that this exists, or crying cause it's so sad....IMHO - 'Leonardo DiCaprio' does nothing for me as an actor...I can't emotionally connect to his performances, but he blew me away in this movie....His performance broke my heart, and i suspect acting aside, it had something to do with this piece of music <33

[mehappierthanu]

Dear fucking lord fuck ella fitzgerald or etta james dinah washington hold the mother fucking planet in the back of her vocal chords jesus christ.

[YuukoSadness]

This song always makes me cry so much... at my darkest times it is a sweet and dark relief. Thank you

[AnnieHeike]

"and if my life is like the dust..." Perfect phrase

[Monkfisher]

reposted for those who missed it. - For every beauty there is a horror. For every love there is a loss. A husband who has lost his wife will live on to feel that emptiness alone. Love turned to pain. But yet in each teardrop is the memory of a smile. In this way pain is the proof of our happiness. There is a price to be paid, but that doesn't have to mean it's not worth the cost. When we feel all that remains is sadness, it's up to us to remember there has been and will again be joy as well.

[IcarusB1]

@Monkfisher What a gorgeous post!!

[aerichthelime]

@Monkfisher so true, so true, deities bless this enlightening soul

@Monkfisher I'm gettin a tattoo of this, son. I freakin love this!! :) :D

[tinkerbelltk1]

@Monkfisher My mom just passed away...and your comment really touched my heart.

[SuperMrLahlou]

@Monkfisher Probably the best quote I've heard. Is it yours?

[LoveIsAllThatIS]

@Monkfisher Amazingly poignant and wise. Thank you.

[rubito957]

@M I would like to know your name, i loved your words, and i want to know your so i can put it bellow the text on my computer, just to keep it. I´m sure it would look better than by monkfisher

[thesecretiswithin]

Thank you! There aren't so many words, but every word is just so heavy that it brought tears to my eyes. ♥

[mehappierthanu]

The universe is this FREQUENCY, and frequency is MUSIC , and no matter how we are, or who we are, or what we think or belive, this music (frequency) conecting to Us; And every single person listen this song feel the same conection with The SOURCE, beautiful, think aboutit and dont forgot Today were young to soon weare old, dont lost Your time.

[miyamyya]

i luve it... so bitter sad song...

[ruioliveira203]

Absolutely beautiful, although I knew already the base theme by Max van Richter, without vocals! With all due respect, I prefer the "dry" version... (without vocals)

[MegaBeau1000]

I don't know what's worse...The notion that in 200 years we will be remembered for our popular music and music with passion and soul will have ceased to exist, or that we as an audience were weak enough to let that happen.

[Monkfisher]

Strange... after replying to mercyjustlyhumbly, it's taken my comment off the top comments section. :( I hope people will still find it.

[XOGoldFingerOX]

Thumbs up if you hear this song at the end of Shutter island

[Maksacre]

shutter island - end credits

[marktheshot]

words cannot express how i feel when i hear this song experiencing a great loss it makes you breathless for a moment and deep inside you as quick as a blink of an eye a part of you dies and is forever lost ...at least thats how i felt the moment they told me my dad died i did not know him well but at that instant realized i still cared after years i had a chance to meet him and i said no cuz i was still angry 2 weeks later he died..... such regret i fee,l again there are no wordsbut thissong

[JakeThaFinest]

beautiful, simply beautiful.



[NatashaRoseAgnew]

jesus @TheAray6 calm the fuck down LOl

[TheAray6]

Damn i just love ho wthe idiots below just spoiled the movie for the people who haven't seen it. TRY SPOLIER ALERT NEXT TO YOUR COMMENTS. even though i have seen the movie thats disrespectful to other people. You guys do know you can personally message people on youtube. You can personally message people @navy876 to give him the answer he was lookin for. SPam for all you assholes. Love this song though.

[Perthreus]

So many soul mates.......what a comfort

[duncanidaho78180]

there are no words to speak about this so beautiful song

It makes you remember all of your difficult memories. This song is very powerfull

[navy876]

So obviously this was from shutter island.

Its sad the treatment didn't work and they had too open his head up.

[joscerAE13]

@navy876 He chose to be lobotomized, he did regress into reality, meaning the treatment worked, but he couldn't live with the pain of the sins he carried as Andrew Laeddis, and so he acted as Teddy Daniels when they were observing him in the last scene with "Chuck" so that he could live without the remorse and guilt he so longed to dispel. Thus "living as a monster, or dying as a good man"

[n3rdbear]

@navy876 it did work, he just doesn't want to remember he killed his wife so he wanted to get lobotomized.

[augustusguss]

I like both tracks (Dinah was wonderful) but together they just don't work--for me.

[Bombeczka3]

great song!

[SuperMrLahlou]

wish there was more music like this!

[jelogram]

Remember us for we too have lived, loved, and laughed

@eatmypills

Why do feel the need to comment on a thing you don't understand? Hope one day you stop posting youtube videos of computer games and try and understand, for your own sake.

[MrLtMuldoon]

Brilliant, wonderful film. One of Scorcese's best, and it shows his talent. He can direct gangster classics and films like this. And DiCaprio, man, he should've been nominated at last. Great movie, the book is great too.

[bolder2009]

@MrLtMuldoon No doubt, one of DiCaprio's best performances. Oscar worthy, but that's all about industry politics amongst other things I won't go into.

[MrLtMuldoon]

@bolder2009 Right, well he might have a shot for his new J. Edgar. 

[beyondnoize]

i love the original , but this just brings me to tears, Amazing work

[TheHAd3s]

I LOVE THIS THEME...

[skrivmaskinen]

It is worth the cost indeed... Thank you so much for this.

[Monkfisher]

I did write it while listening to the song... just what came to mind as i was typing it. ty for your comments. I'm glad you are touched by it :)

[clgjydkt]

This bitter earth. Can it be so cold? And if my life is like the dust, that hides the glow of a rose, then what good am I? Heaven only knows. Today you are young. Too soon you are old. Oh This bitter earth. What good is love, that no one shares? This bitter earth. Can it be so cold? While a voice within me cries, I'm sure someone may answer my call. And this bitter earth, may not be so bitter after all.

[Carlit0Tit0]

@clgjydkt yes..thank you for repeating the lyrics that is also in the description

Thumbs Up If You Hate People Who Capitalize Every Word

[Demienz1]

Thumbs Up If You Think That This Music Suits Shutter Island(Suits Very Badly so Badly that makes me sick(in a good way of course))

[MrRawrNinja1]

@Demienz1 That almost confused me as much as the ending of Shutter Island...

[33hegemon]

I just looked to the right of this video and saw Katy Perry's 'Firework' has nearly 197 million views, whilst this masterpiece has a mere 321 thousand...says a lot about the state of most people's musical tastes.

[ruioliveira203]

@33hegemon Indeed... :-(

[MrAzerkhan]

@33hegemon that's why people can make money out of popularism!

[l00k4truth]

@33hegemon ... and the reality of our world.

[palwe]

not a single thing that can be disliked

[palwe]

type your philosophical stand points better. perhaps try to invoke meaning more effectively!

[Shanisnotonfire]

I heard this at the end of shutter island and didn't even realise there was backing track, her voice is just that mesmorising! When I tried to find the version on here I was like "why the hell have they all got a backing track?!" then I rewound shutter island and realised it was there all that time... That marks a truly beautiful artist, one that just overrides an amazing instrumental that easily... ahhh <3

[katala623]

définitivement magnifique!!!!!!!!!

[tug265]

This is truly amazing!!! I can hardly breath with how much it touches me...

[lovelyladii2015]

I first heard this on SYTYCD. It touched me in a way that I have ever experienced before. It is the most beautiful song that I have ever heard in my life.

[szkurw]

what the fuck is wrong with all 8 of you

[reek1234]

So this beautiful song, which causes a deep emotional stirring in me, finishes and what do you think YouTube has up next?

Fucking Katy Perry. Their shit is broke.

[palwe]

today you are young, too soon you are old

[dancetranceswag]

i wish there was a love button

[MichaelMUFC2]

I've never been moved so much by a piece of music before, I didn't believe it was possible.

[Dieushakespearetmoi]

saddest song ever... most beautiful also

[borolien]

WOW! Dinah's voice fits perfectly to this song!

[markeyboynum1]

:( x

[simionTheOne]

such a sad ending

i remember watching this movie in the cinema's with an ex girlfriend of mine

never expected this movie to cause such a shock

1000x better than i could ever expect it to be

& now that i'm watchin the end on prime this song just catches me and reminds me

of the beauty , melancholy and most of all the tragedy of this movie

[Phoenikz2k10]

no singing can fit to this.

[Thejazzymo95]

Soo It's Official Im in LOVE with this Song and I have to express my love for this Song , by Choreographing A piece to this = ) . This Song brings me to tears Everytime I hear it , where is this talent at now a days .. THIS BITTER EARTH , <3

[philipjcowan]

I saw Shutter Island before my children were born - I don't think I could watch it now, it would be too painful. Still, glad I have seen it; I feel it was rather underrated by critics at the time. It certainly has a lot of resonance with a wide number of people. This combination of Richter music and Diana Washington is fabulous. My wife and children are asleep upstairs and find it hard not to cry thinking of them and listening to this.

[L3t1t8e]

Watch Billy, Alex, and Ade's dance to this.

[yanirapavi]

me encanta este tema, es impresionante, hay gente a la que le guste este tipo de musica?

I knew as soon as I looked at the highest rated comments it would be song long paragraph trying to be deep. FUCK YOUTUBE.

[autofu]

@Japanzi16 I guess you've never lost someone close to you. Come back when you have.

[grikuomega]

@autofu lol his brain cant comprehend a long deep paragraph for one and two he will never have anyone close to lose i mean he most likely lives in his mothers basement so he cant get attached to anyone down there lucky him.
