i feel a unwaviering sense of duty and somber reverence for the events in the movie from this song it is all of the intenesity wrapped into one monument of peace to warp through the time frame and take the person on a journey through the whole of the experince really succeeds . that being said i always feel like i am almost ready to float when it gets the the end or as if it is somehow linked to a old type of prayer not exercised anymore very uplifting.
I remember listening to this for the first time when I was 15. Up until then I'd more or less been an angry teenage headbanger. This totally blew my mind, I didn't even know music this good could exist.
Waoh! I've got the top-rated comment. It's a first time for me! ^^ I'm happy to think that some people feel what I feel listening to this masterpiece. (Excuse my poor English, I'm French...)
Does anyone know the translation to the words in this? Or where I can find it? I have been wondering about what theyre saying since I first saw the movie back in the mid nineties.
@wishcraft4u2 I'm also interested in learning what is being said, especially the part near the end that always brings tears to my eyes every time I hum this song. all i can make out is something that sounds like neh-moo-reh. Akira, Neh-moo-reh, Kaneda. Not actually like that, but yeah, on topic, I love this whole soundtrack, and the movie as well.
@TheCuddlyKnife It's Nemure Akira, Nemure Kaneda... etc... It means : Rest Akira, Rest Testsuo... You can find the lyrics on the Internet, but not all of it...
This has to be the single most ambitious film soundtrack in existence. Not just anime, but cinema in general. The whole symphonic suite took major musical risks, but in the end, it worked out more beautifully than anybody could have imagined. :)
A friend of mine I know through the internet attempted suicide on October 30th. I happened to be listening to this at the time. She's okay, but I will always associate this with her and that memory.
And now I will associate it with the Japanese disaster as well. Such a powerful piece.
damn..i love this one...it took me a while to find it because i didnt know the name of it..so wen i came across the soundtrack many years back...i had to buy it..
I read the comments and i'm glad to see what an exelent taste in music you all have,this is one of the best musical pieces i have ever heard, outstanding in every way,thank you for this wonderful upload

I really want to thanks you for this Complet Symphony Version.
I had both, original and symphony, but Saddly, something bad happened to them ><
This track is just epic and plenty of emotions. And so closed from what we can feel about what is happening in japan since the earthquake.
For me, its definitly the right choise if i was planning to make a tribute.
