Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence [wonderful version]

[cdmimarcosimoncini]

I find that the original file version is the one that has a sound clean and precise, sometimes the exuberance

of notes in music creates confusion, it is difficult scirivere few notes, but it altrettando

difficult to put so many.

It there only me think RYUICHI looks like professor snape......?

Did David Sylvian put words to this at some point, use it as an interlude, or is he in some way connected to this piece? For some reason I associate the two artists with this song. I know they've worked together, but not sure how. It is fantastic, to be sure.

@FesterWerks They did work together. The song is Forbidden Colors and it's on the soundtrack of the film "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" in which Mr. Sakamoto starred.

I do not know why this strikes me..the intensity in his face..it's like he's not lost but found himself in another place.

Does anyone happen to know what year this was recorded in?

[Jyphlosion]

@uberOblivious most likely the 80's

Hearing this has changed my life. Very powerful!

My parents have been played this song to me since I was born. I am almost 20 years old now, and I still picture a moving locomotive whenever I listen to it. This is still one of my favorite songs ever.

[LARESISTENZA]
