ENNIO MORRICONE/ EDDA DELL'ORSO -"Giu' la Testa" (1971)

[cinebros]

morricone = emotion unbridled :-D

[Zigeunerweisen20]

Music belonging to one of the best scenes Leone ever did. That whole execution in the rain/bar scene flashback part is one of my favorite movie scenes ever.

[baronvonfrisk]

Edda Dell'Orso....,the voice of angel. Her album 'It's time to sing ' is well worth a listen. .

[Monty55581]

@monteoly

Cool.

[angeldearte]

Sergio Leone, with its famous trilogy marks an epoch in Western cinema will always remember, and music

Ennio Morricone makes us live a fantasy world when we see these master sequences, all this must be added the unique voice of soprano Edda Dell Orso

that this song is wonderful, this voice also found in other movies, where he also collaborated with Ennio Morricone

[screenieman]

I believe in dynamite.

[EddieWoodJr]

Sean Sean Sean !

[MANTLEBERG]

To me that is a sin...you got any better ideas?..si ithink gold is better than silver...arggh there isnt any gold in these hills,....oh yes there is.in Messe Verde...mese verde its a city, of course its a city, you ever heard of a bank in the country ?

[philemin1]

one of the greatest scores from a film,fackin amazin .........

[jcbrulois]

Musiciens de talent et acteurs talentueux dans ce grand classic "Viva la revolucion" ! Merci de nous faire encore rêver même si je l'époque actuelle se considère meilleure. Pour moi, il n'y aura plus jamais de grands films ainsi ni de musique original pour les accompagner. Bravo le monde moderne !

[nightmuffin937]

Terriffic movie...Even though the ending was very sad with this song.

[DolceKiarina94]

scendono le lacrime.......

[Felipe201057]

Olá ! Como Deus é bom!! De temos em tempos coloca em nosso mundo a genialidade de sua criação através de suas criaturas.

[giorgiolx]

questo film trascende il genere western...

[MrSpit19]

the only thing that makes me proud to be Italian is this man

[pigsonthemoon]

Ladies and Gentlemen Mr. ENNIO MORRICONE, the best!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the song is awesome but from 1:29 to 2:00 it is a very MASTERPIECE! I could stay all the day listening this music

[kimseongkon]

i looked this movie my 10year young boy in the 1980 korea.

[giuglianese100]

E FANTASTICAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheMediatore88]

Take this Mr williams ITALIAN MUSIC RULES!

[Napoleonkuryakin]

A beautifully crafted, haunting and brilliant piece - a true masterpiece by a true genius!

Sergio Leone played the score very loud on the set of Once Upon Time America, Eli Wallach said that if the same was done on the set of The Magnificent Seven that He would've rode His horse better!

[Niskatelokote]

awwwww... beautiful !!

[aqquazzurra]

She's gonna sing at GIARDINO DELLA KOLYMBETRA in Agrigento, Italy on August 21!

[umberto61]

edda dell'orso come clare torry

[mcuiabano]

SENSACIONAL, PODEROSO, MARAVILHOSO, FANTÁSTICO!!!! TANTO O FILME COMO A TRILHA SONORA, SENSACIONAIS!!!!

[gattoneist]

hey mezzabotta...

[oltreMacondo]

"miccia lunga..."

[GAETANOZXC]

@oltreMacondo MICCIA LUNGA O CORTA QUESTA E' POESIA NON MUSICA, E TE LO DICE UN MUSICISTA!!!! CIAO

[oltreMacondo]

@GAETANOZXC

Penso proprio tu sia "un grande"...

E da modesta musicista quale sono ri dico che è davvero "POESIA in MUSICA"...

E' un piacere averto incontrato, davvero...

[GAETANOZXC]

@oltreMacondo il piacere e' tutto mio , concordo alla grande  con quello che dici

[VOICEBEAR63]

this is a one of a lot things i'm proud to be italian!! Grande Maestro Morricone

[slvgdvg]

Best song eva!

[astrum133]

In these days I had the good fortune to become acquainted with Edda dell'Orso since i played in the same benefit concert in rome with her and other artists. Now she is 75 but her voice is still incredible and unmistakable! She is also a very very kind and generous person.

[daniela6015]

unica..

[Fullinblack]

da brividi...

[emilyna89]

quanti ricordi questa canzone... <3

[59mar]

this woman's voice makes me cry each time- quite automatically, I can't hep it ...this story is just so strong.

what a great piece of art -

leone and morricone: the perfect ingenious team

[Euroman002]

Troppi 40 anni per un solo oscar

[slon20]

In Francia il film è noto anche come C'era una volta la Rivoluzione. Non è male.

[freddo0806]

non è ke è noto anke...il titolo francese è "Il etais une fois la revolution",ed è da precisare che i francesi decisamente più avanti di noi come gusti cinematografici,considerano giustamente Sergio Leone come un genio assoluto del Cinema

[shaunsk]

Another one of those movies that bomb at their release,but then go on to gain a cult following years after the event. Again Morricone is absolutely on the money with every note of his haunting score. Magnifico!!

[firelione]

Well said shaunsk! Kudos...

[chucky0103]

So beautiful

[kosmonavt1917]

som sommmmmm!

som sommmm

[zerostar333]

@kosmonavt1917

"sean sean sean". Coburn's friend. The making of the film talks about the significance of these being the words in the soundtrack, to reflect the guilt that Coburn killed his friend, or the double back-stab back in Ireland.

[59mar]

@kosmonavt1917 it says actually: ''sean, sean''

for james coburn's character ...that piece is his theme

[kosmonavt1917]

Oh, yeah I saw the movie yesterday. Sean indeed. Thanks!

[pahalial1]

ADORO QUESTA MUSICA

[musicali78]

ahhhhhhhhhhh...awesome music by Ennio Moricone!! and great vocals by Edda Dell'Orso.

I luv this O.S.T.!!

[xocoita]

Clasicc. Molto bello. revolción Mejicana??

[darren1673]

stay well away from any love triangle thats my advice lol john had the right idea ,bugger off to mexico and blow stuff to pieces

[Granduca233]

All'inizio il film avrebbe dovuto intitolarsi "Giù la testa, coglione" ma, per motivi di censura, il titolo fu cambiato. La battuta è comunque presente nella pellicola.

[DylanRicardo]

What is your name?

Sean.

Ham?

John.

(Sean Sean Sean. )

Perfect!.

[Pssybart]

I think I finally understand now why the lyrics "Sean Sean Sean" are in the song. I looked it up and noticed that John's best friend was credited as Sean Nolan. Is his full name mentioned somewhere in the movie?

[marxist854]

@Pssybart

In the speical features of the DVD, it is said that Leones wife suggests they include the character John Mallorys name in this particular piece. The gaelicised version of the name John is Sean

[blulisa90]

Davvero bravissimo Morricone...

Adoro questa canzone, per me è la migliore che abbia mai composto!!!

[Superjerrygunner]

Holy crap!!!.....i was searching for this tune for like 6 years...unforgettable!!!

[barney2825]

DITTO MAN DITTO

[jaredcanyom]

Ennio é gênio !!!!!

[zao7116]

so quem tem bom gosto, aprecia esta linda obra, e de arrepiar

[fairportfan2]

This film (working title "Once Upon a Time ... the Revolution" (in Italian, of course) is the middle film in the "Once Upon a Time" trilogy.

[kuock]

Gracias, Ennio.

Thank you, Ennio.

[weesilver69]

the truest revolutionary film ever made.....so honest about every revoultion around the world....inspired many an irishman .....duck you british sucker!!!!lol 1979 warrenpoint.

[rexrex118]

Fantastic Movie,Duck You Sucker is perhaps the best western ever made by Sergio Leone and Beautiful score by Maestro Morricone!!

[igor197302]

beautifull .... i love morricone

[MartinKrauen]

they had a kind of threesome I guess sean, john and the girl that s what I got from the finale scene

[GarlandFraser]

No, No no! Jhon was just fooling around with Sean's Girlfriend, it was just a joke. Sean and the Girl were the couple, and Jhon was the odd man out in the end. You can see it in his flash back's facial expression, he's laughing with them but his smile starts to fade as he realises what's happening.

[Redgrant80]

At first i thought it was the other way around

[sensemaya1]

What is happening?

[GarlandFraser]

Well, not sure if you can relate to this or not, but when you're good friends with two people (the three musketeers syndrome) and your two friends hook up, making you the odd man out, you soon realize that your very presence within the group is now awkward, and you shouldn't be there, the friendship is never the same. This has double danger in it if you actually liked one of the friends the other was going out with. The expression and this song captures that feeling perfectly, for me anyway.

[sensemaya1]

You have summed it up perfectly. Since I saw the correct ending...last flashback in the field...I have been pondering about it. Clearly Sean was his very best friend and he deeply loved him and I think he also was in love with the girl. Double danger indeed. Thank you for your explanation. I just love this filmscore.

[auirora]

My favorite Sergio Leone Italian Western, brilliant performances from Rod Steiger and James Coburn,but the film will be remembered because of the flawless score by one of Europes greatest artists Ennio Morricone.

[Tundramensch]

A brilliant piece of music from the master.

Bravo!

[Saryna85]

sean sean!

[GarlandFraser]

Sean Sean SEAN!!

[TheDexovann]

La miglior composizione del Maestro Morricone!

FANTASTICA!!!!!!!!!!

e commovente.

[nikia836]

m\y first viseted cinema! J and may brother, now brother is dead kiled some army. we have five war for six years . Nice song!

[nikia836]

100000000000000++++++++

[sinisass]

mmhhh... non mi vengono le parole .....vabbe' dai , un'altra volta ,... ma penso non occorrano !

ciao

[iTzMarkOx]

ho appena visto questo film :) la canzone mi è rimasta cosi in testa che la continuavo a cantare,, shawn shawn shawn, ti dà un senso di tranquillità, che uscendo in giardino mi si è avvicinato un gattino che non avevo mai visto, e tutto grazie a questa canzone. si è una bugia. sono un bugiardo. ma questa canzone mi fà sentire cosi in pace con me stesso, che solo ora capisco che non esiste la piu bella bugia, ma solo la piu bella verità

[ciang1976]

dedicata a tutti i rivoluzionari...si dice che soltanto chi è stato così folle da ritenere di poter cambiare il corso della storia alla fine l'abbia fatto davvero...

[anibas60]

quando vidi per la prima volta questo film ( in prima visione! :) ero una bambina..

uno di quei segni..che resta..

sciòn sciòn... :)

[52b17]

sono stato un rivoluzionario,e lo sono anche adesso,in modo diverso,e molto di più di allora,ma il corso della storia,quella che tu consideri, non è cambiata,la storia si ripete,e si ripeterà,sempre.

[SuperMegaFritz]

la sotria non si ripete...mai, pultroppo e perfortuna.

:' )

[ciang1976]

per quanto in parte obbligato dal mezzo...mi sembra un pochino troppo semplicistico e fatalista il tuo pensiero, gli eventi fanno la storia e gli uomini con le loro scelte la influenzano di rimando, che poi molto del vissuto si ripeta nel tempo, specie il peggio, è dovuto alla componente caratteriale delle persone che a certi livelli privilegia....

[carolynan]

Yes I see ,so the Music is Befitting, So it is quite a Romantic Film with Great Acting Great Music THANKS

[carolynan]

Sounds Romantic LOVELY!!!!!!

[Bodvar73]

Kind of. One of the main characters is haunted by the memory of killing his best friend and being in love with his best friends girlfriend.

[thedavisgroup]

Hey people. Check out the live version from Cannes featuring the incredible.  Susanna Rigacci. It is at the top of the related videos

[DieterLuebke]

Sehr gut!

Dieter dankt

[quartiereletorri]

Il più grande Compositore di tutti i tempi che tutto il mondo ci invidia.

Il binomio SERGIO LEONE/ENNIO MORRICONE è inscindibile e sarà ricordato per sempre.

Grazie Maestro Morricone.

[elProdigio]

Morricone = The musician.

[theHUEYmix]

The movie was good but not as good as the score!

[iguarni]

ORGOGLIOSO DI ESSERE ITALIANO!!!

[simonaregna]

questa è la cosa più bella che io abbia mai sentito nella vita,musica che parla......in note di poesia.....maestro grazie,grazie,grazie,grazie,gr­azie........

[GAETANOZXC]

questa e' poesia non musica grazie maestro

[darren1673]

i went to see ennio morricone in concert and he played this tune , it was hairs on back of neck time , hey davis group thx for the commendation i salute you lol

[doomsdaymachine619]

This is such a good pick, I am not worthy of listening to it. j/k. Although on rhapsody, you can download the whole album,listen for free to. It is my favorite Morricone masterpiece.

[thedavisgroup]

Darren 1673 is obviously a man who truly knows what good music is. I commend you sir.

[darren1673]

the singer is saying sean sean sean which is coburns name ie john in irish sean , coburn and steiger are are fricking amazing in that movie , compared to the shite out now its in another class

[normality123]

it is my favorite soundtrack. i remember first i heard I was really irritated by this Shawn, Shawn, Shawn, wondering what's that, is that Chinese language or something.

I don't get irritated by it anymore.

[debut71]

the soundtrack is brilliant one of the best soundtracks around

[mveraro]

My friends a question.. I remember a whistle version of this song.. I mean, when the woman starts singing, but instead of voice, whistle... haven´t found it, any help?

Marchello

[normality123]

I know what you are talking about,

there was another version, it's here somewhere, I don't know where I found it but it is here somewhere.

[mveraro]

FIND IT, je je je, when you have the chance, the whistle version is a powerful memory of my beautyful childhood

Many thanks

[MRBICKLE76]

Morricone = genius

[normality123]

genius = Morricone

[keoma76]

According to Christopher Frayling (famous biographer), when Ennio Morricone came at Sergio Leone's home to play the first piano version of Giù La Testa , miss Leone suggested that it would be interesting if a voice could sing "Sean" during the song.

Thank you MorriconeRocks, you make a very respectful and useful job.

[GGXXCraze]

Fist full of dynamite :D

[Tundramensch]

Whenever you get depressed, drink a six-pack of Canadian beer, then start pronouncing the names of the Canadian provinces with an exagerated Spanish accent. As an alternative, listen to this tune.

[Pearset]

you can keep your bachs, beethovans mozarts lists greigs etc, this guy leaves them all behind. Brilliant brilliant brilliant and this is his best.

[Fantasmo77]

I think shumm..shumm is like lalalala

[NuRiAlC0]

it is not sean....it is lecho'n mean sucker in spanish

[Tundramensch]

I agree with WinchellB. It's "Sean, Sean, Sean."  I love this movie and the music. Morricone is a great master.

[shitbrick777]

It can be "Sean, Sean, Sean" or "John, John, John" since Sean is the Irish John. I think they say "Sean" but, you know, it's "John y Juan!", so the debate continues.

[partouche3000]

i have seen a film by Nanni Morretti, in which someone is singing the bigining of that song, it was subtitled in italian like this: " cione, cione..."

[lupenzo71]

the film is caro diario episode "isole"but cione cione is not correct vulgar italian is scion scion

[GarlandFraser]

Sean is the implied name of Jhon's friend back in Ireland, who he judged to kill due to his Jealousy.

[Rampenaufsicht]

beautiful.. just beautiful !!

[sabata60]

i seen this fantastic film when it came out in london after i came out i new i had to get the soundtrack but had to wait 30 years to get the film on dvd 2 disk.when i came from waching it in the 70s i was spellbound by the hounting music.if you have not seen it go out and get it if you love the very best in westerns this one is for you its a must 10 out of ten...

[titus2563]

Edda's ethereal voice rises seamlessly to perfection...

[optimaver]

Beautiful, brings so many childhood memories back..

[realeimperobritannic]

Magnificent song, really gives a mood for this epic western!

[Fruttidoro]

Morricone deserved the Oscar. Ha meritato l'Oscar.

[Basstard56]

sean sean not scion scion lol..

its the guy's name

[Fruttidoro]

Morricon is italian, so we write scion.

[mf2035]

quando l'ascoltai la prima volta avevo 10 anni e come allora mi emoziono, è SPLENDIDA!!!

[WinchellB]

Scions a name in Italian?

[Fruttidoro]

No, it's not an italian name, but it's not even Sean... it's simply a sound like lalala.

[WinchellB]

perhaps, but when the main fellows name is Sean, wouldn't it make sense if that was what they were singing. Especially since the tune is played when we see Sean's flashback. Seems like they are saying "SEan, sean, sean. what have you done" right (:? But sure, could just be lalala.

[DonFarshido]

We should all not give a shit about the Oscar.

[AllenbysEyes]

Here here Don.

[C5GrendelP]

i saw this film as child in theater where malcolm x was killed years earlier.its haunted me ever since.thank you for keeping it alive

[trackside77]

Great music by Moriccone.  Ranks along his other greats.

[imitare]

Great Great and Great soundtrack!!!

[realeimperobritannic]

wow this is one of the most UNDERRATED WESTERNS I'VE EVER SEEN! One of the best, too!

[Fantasmo77]

It's the best

[simonedj72]

La mia preferita insieme a Metti una Sera a Cena, Fantastico Ennio "Fiero di essere Italiano"

[mf2035]

CONCORDO

[umegghju]

Morricone è inbattibile. Mitico

[AuryLee]

scion scion

[KatKingKyo]

that song has haunted my dreams since I saw the movie, thank you!

[redambers10]

great music. great actors, coburn. tuco

[rotblade]

Film + bande son = Génial

[sullaofroma]

I know only Steigers later work. I know he was famous in the 50s and stuff.

Anyway I thought Steiger was great as Napoleon in Waterloo.

[AllenbysEyes]

His two best performances, IMO, were in On the Waterfront and Doctor Zhivago. He was a seriously underrated actor. He did have a tendency towards ham at times, but hardly obscures his talents.

[sullaofroma]

Well even with his bad accent, he did some great acting in duck you sucker. (The way he reacts to his kids death is understated, but amazing at the same time.) In waterloo he was even better. I think that is the best historical film ever made.

[GarlandFraser]

"The Wealthy, all they do is Talk and Talk and Eat and Eat, and what about the peasants? THEY'RE DEAD!"

[Redgrant80]

"And then same fuckin thing happens all over again!

So dont talk to me about your revolution."

[dapoetmaster]

U know, Rod Steiger did a really good job as a Mexicano Bandit....IMO only Eli Wallach did it better, his character of 'Tuco' would be hard to beat but Rod's 'Juan' is funnier & plumbs depths that Tuco only touched on briedly. Still 'Tuco' was so 'alive' & engaging, a tuff choice between these 2 great characters.

[DieMaterialkralle]

not to forget Gian Maria Volonté

[tojour]

And the most beautiful vocals....with Edda Del Orso

[sullaofroma]

best composer director team of all time.

[redambers10]

i agree

[Larzz89]

Duck you sucker
