Requiem for a Dream is a movie with a song called Lux Aeternia (the original/other song with vocals). Requiem for a Tower (this version) is a remix made in homage to (and named after) the movie Lux Aeternia was in.
Also, for a while (not sure about now) it had no copyright restrictions, since it wasn't released as part of the official LotR sound track. This might also be why it was in so many trailers for a while.
arbitar, this song is called lux aeterna, most people say requiem for a dream/tower because it is used in these films... but the song it self is called lux aeterna.
they say it because lux aeterna is used in requiem for a dream, theres another version used in lotr which is called "requiem for a tower" to make it easy to tell the difference
Oh I almost forgot,, I got question though, on other people's videos, this song only runs about 4 minutes, but on this version it runs about 6 minutes. So this one is the "full one" rather than the others that they cut off the the starting part of the song and only use the intense part?
Most people cut it off at certain points yes,that is true,but not always to make it start at the intense part,some people only have the beginning leading to the intense part but they dont always do it on purpose,sometimes thats the way it is when they download it or import it off a disc,I was one of the lucky ones to find the site that has the full version,which is the one in the description,it should still be a working link,I havent check to see if its been taken down though.
@Arbitar79 Don't wanna insult you, but you got it wrong there. This one is not an official version at all, it's a fan remix of "Lux Aeterna", the original song by clint mansell for the movie Requiem for a Dream and "Requiem for a tower", or let's say the three "Requiem for a Tower" songs, which were used in LotR Trailers.
The original version by clint mansell is 3:54 and uses only strings, each one of the little Requiem for a tower is like 50 seconds long.
A very nice theme song, I heard this like a thousand times because people just using it in every video on youtube : ], but I guess it's ok because the song's just epic.
Theres just little differeneces,some different notes,different tunes,stuff like that.
I know one of the 2 is a remix of the other,but I cant remember which it is,I think this ones the remix...although its not much of a remix,just the same song mixed up a bit.
As I understand it, Lux Aeterna, aka "Requiem for a Dream" featured a beautiful vocal soloist throughout the song. For movie trialer purposes, Requiem for a Tower was created as a remix with the most significant change being the absence of the vocal solo to keep the focus on whatever happens to be going on in the screen. Personally I like the Tower version best, but both are extremely well done.
Requiem For a Tower was remade from Requiem For A Dream for A Lord of the Rings trailer. People loved it thought and it has since become it's own equally popular piece.
@datchda "Requiem For A Dream" is a very bad version of this work. You cannot buy this song ("Requiem For A Tower"), just download it. I have it, but I'm not satisfied, because I like audio CDs much more :-)! For the ones interested: there is also an intro version of "Requiem For A Tower", which is a seperate song and takes 1.29 mins (at least I hope so, there are the crappy 2.movements, 3. movements that you could buy-> these I don't mean).
No,theres none,its a protected site because its one of those sites where anyone who has an account can post whatever they want,but if theres something that has a virus its not allowed on,there may be those stupid cookie,but pretty much every site has those,they're harmless they just make spam but you can get rid of them easily.
But I have to ask...on the "official" RfaT CD there are only movements 2, 3, and 4, each only about a minute or less long. And then there's the Requiem for a dream that this is based off of...so where's this 6 minute version coming from?
yeah this song is pretty cool, but there is another name for it. its actually called Requiem For A Dream. They both sound similar but there is a slight difference. you can look it up if you want.
An amazing song, but it brings back to many memories of august 1st of last year. I live in Minneapolis. Terrible memories changed my life forever. MN DOT must build better bridges! anyway, I love this music. I'm downloading it and making a slideshow on how the US government isn't doing their job right. Thanks so much! I'll be sure to post it in the video responses!
Ok,I'll check it out,when it's done.You're right about what happened in MN,I heard about it on the news,that was horible,so many un-needed deaths and injuries.
