الأحد 26 ذو القعدة 1432 ولادة ذكرى لأبي ,حسين يعقوب الحمداني الموت ولادة للذكرى في رحيل حبيب يبدأها النسيان في رحمه من نسيان نحملها وفاء لراحل نذكرة دون مواساه لتبتسم اليه الذاكرة نوشمه بالصوروالشموع  والدعاء أصعب تلك الذكرى أن يبقى الحب اليه محاطا في صورا تعلق للعيون على جدارات المساء والنهار هذا أبي هذا جدكم . . . في أمتداد للذكرى

[lilprof54]

I've seen quite a few of your clips and I really wonder why (like in this example) there's the soundtrack to be heard for 2 minutes and then there's 3 minutes silence.

[beckerqueiroz]

Rest in Peace, Old Man. :)

[TheNix00]

R.I.P Lee Van Cleef.:(

[hlimkb]

nice tune,

tk for posting

[stan2211stan]

"Indio...!

This is Colonel Douglas Mortimer...

Does that name mean anything to You?"

[whotoobe]

This is definitely a slowed down version, but Ennio Morricone played even backwards is still beautiful. 

[2000udai]

lee van cleef

[Basketeye]

And I am still listening it...

I haven't cried for ages, but I almost do while listening to this song

[8jun68419]

اللة يرحم ايام زمان يا عالم قديش كان نفسي اعيش في هذيك الايام

[Basketeye]

It's beautifull&sad ;)

[rockandrod]

Addio Colonello !!!

[deathwishtaco]

I swear to God A Fistful of Dollars has the best soundtrack ever. Enrico Morricone was a genius!

[judgeman090]

bye bye lee van cleef ;'(

[pimpinspartan]

@tojel im not usualy such a grammer nazi but how the fuck do you miss spell movies

[wilder163]

@pimpinspartan its misspell :)

[SnapSunny]

@pimpinspartan Well, you're missing 'I'm', 'usually', 'grammar' and 'misspell', so it's no surprise that you're not usually a grammar nazi.

[pimpinspartan]

@SnapSunny thanks grammer nazi :D

[GuerillaWarTactix]

Morricone!!

[arzesoto]

cuanta nostalgia :( it is remember my father!!!

[river2walk]

@spectre0075 Sorry to hear about your father but it's nice to know that you got on so well together.....strange how music can keep memories alive....specially the really good ones....take care.

[mrmjoker]

Top melody - I heard a girl play this on the liyrcon.. just like RR - phew

[thesoulcrew]

angel eyes!

[attacchidipanico]

che tristezza, chissà perchè mi vengono gli occhi lucidi

grazie ennio

[catamitecowboy]

Love the song, but it only lasted 2 mins. Why the 3 mins of dead space?

[harielpalmer]

SPAGHETTI  WESTERN THEMN! Good times!

[b42baritone]

I cant find any interviews by Clint or Eli about working with Lee. He is one truly gifted actor. RIP.

[kurzi765]

-A-W-E-S-O-M-E-

Voller Respeckt

[moonlightcreature]

This song is magnificient, thanks you for sharing it!

[DKzgd]

he lives and rides away after killing Indie ; )

[dontiburon]

nope...he didnt....but he found peace when he killed Indio who had raped his sister and made her kill herself.....He never whanted the money...he just wanted to kill him..so when Indio died he gaved his share to the man without a name or Manco

[caldragon7]

When it came to "bad guys" on the screen...Lee Van Cleef was the BEST. In real life he was one of the most honest and caring people in Hollywood. What a legacy!

[BradBrassman]

The only ones who come anywhere close are Kurtwood Smith as Clarence Boddiker in "Robocop" and Javier Bardem as Anton in "No Country for Old Men"

[Weaponmaker100]

I agree completely

[94krisu]

@caldragon7 It's true, you can even read that from his gravestone "Lee Van Cleef January 9, 1925 - December 16, 1989 'Best of the Bad' Love and Light".

[gurunade]

I think it's real pretty.....

[gurunade]

I'll kill em....

[hotrowdypiper]

nice............ ilike it thanks..

[mrhomerbojangles]

You can feel the courage and the pain from just this piece of fantastic music.

Thanks for sharing

[CutterScene]

Hmmm, this is a version with a hobo, right? I have a version on 'Ennio Morricone Greatest' (CD from the late '80s) in which the hobo is replaced with a trumpet - it's also very emotionally played, and the timbre is quite good... this version is more serene and less bombastic in comparison.

[river2walk]

Hi Cutte4Scene: this is a version played by the Hollywood Film Orchastra, believe it or not, and In my opinion It's not all that bad. what can I say???

[NLight95]

I like the film version much better than this one, not that this one is necessarily bad in any regard.. The trumpet is such a big part of the score and Morricone used it many times in his compositions to evoke pensive emotions. I can very easily imagine this being being played at a funeral. I wonder if maybe it was played at Van Cleef's?

[rsmith606]

@CutterScene haha, I think you mean an Oboe, not a homeless guy. Although, that'd be pretty funny (':

[sidneybabes4u2]

@CutterScene ...Just been trying to to think what part of the film had a Hobo(tramp) in it then I realized you mean't Oboe......lol

[lolusuck386]

@CutterScene don't you mean oboe?

[WalneySkyland]

@CutterScene Chuckling at the thought of a guy in an orchestra blowing a hobo. Wouldn't it interfere with him playing his instrument?

[crassazell]

@WalneySkyland Your comment has just given me the first giggle of the day. Just glad that you felt it necessary to warn the good man before embarrasment ruined his life.teehee

[DuBoisBand]

@CutterScene you mean oboe, right? At least I hope so....

[fjbutch]

Lee Van Cleef.....my all time favourite....Clint Walker a close second....

[calmthoughts]

very relaxing sound,nice

[XhekLondon]

Amazing theme

[mrhomerbojangles]

brillaint I agree all the good one are mostly gone now. There is just a couple hanging in there.

Clint being one of them.

I think that Lee Van Cliff was not reconised as much as he should have been.

He was a brillaint actor amongst the very best and a legend in his own rights.

Thanks for sharing such a brillaint and very powerful piece of music.

Greetings from England

[goodluckpeace44]

hello friend, Lee Van Cleff sure was the coolest villen ever, and he was a sweet guy, infact he lost the tip of his middle finger making a play house to his daughter

be well

[river2walk]

Well I never knew that.....and before becomming  a star of spagetti westerns he was barely scraping a living drawing (very badly) portraits for tourists, he sure had an interesting life and what a great face!

[goodluckpeace44]

yup he sure has a very beautiful face. I like to see some of those drawings

peace

[river2walk]

Yeah!....I guess they've increased in value quite a bit since those days!

[SSTotenkopf1488]

Wonderful piece.

[stripemister]

Lee Van Cliff, top shelf character actor. All of the great one's are gone forever.

[kwhudson2]

I had never heard this version before, but have used the shorter version in some slideshows about child deaths. I always called it "Goodbye Colonel". - I can just see Colonel Mortimer opening that watch and looking at his late sister - Very Powerful -- KWH
