I suffer from depression and this music is what coming out of a depressive episode feels like, when the chemicals are working again and you notice it's a nice day, hear a bird sing, see a beautiful colourful dress someone is wearing, smell cut grass on a lawn, feel a cat rubbing itself on you. When you return from the deep dark wood out into the sunlight and love beauty again.

Bad Lands was one of Scott's favorite movies. Tony Scott had asked Hans Zimmer to use the theme in Badlands as a reference to create his theme for True Romance. He stated that it represented Alabama's childlike innocence.

The photography on this film is absolutely superb. Tak Fujimoto, a true master.

One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard!

I could listen to this all night.

This is a piece of music titled 'Gassenhauer' by Carl Orff, which is based off an even older piece of music from 1536 by Hans Neusiedler. Both Badlands and True Romance used that piece of music.

Krash954 Actually the piece in True Romance is an original by Hans Zimmer, but it is an homage to this piece, so they sound very similar.

This music is also used in Lynne Ramsay's Ratcatcher, when Kenny attaches his pet mouse to a balloon and sends it to the moon.

Thanks it was bugging me where else i had heard this

what more do i have to say - the thin red line and badlands ,,,2 of the best movies that shows in EVERY SENSE AND THOUGHT -that life gos on ,,,,

Besides loving Sissy Spacek's portrayal of Caril Ann Fugate, I came away with Carl Orff's haunting contribution to the soundtrack,"Gassenhauer," permanently burned into my brain for the rest of my life. It's the theme song for anyone who has ever gone " bye bye." (Myself included) Orff wrote it on commission as a children's song and hated it. Ironically, it became one of his most memorable pieces.

beautiful, pure passion.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL MUSIC !!

@indigozim Well said. Badlands is so poetic and haunting and is shot so well that you could take a still of practically any frame in the film, hang it on your wall and call it art. Godfather, Easy Rider, Apocalypse etc were great films but, for me, Badlands is one of the best and most underrated films of the "New Hollywood" era- alongside Five Easy Pieces and Paper Moon,

Love this tune! Strange music for a strange movie. . .

Tony Williamson You're a fruitcake.

The first time I heard this was in the movie "Finding Forrester". Awonderful piece of music.

i love this theme tune how it builds up.and i love the film.

A haunting theme which makes the movie memorable along with Tak Fujimoto's sumptious photography.

I concur, same with QT, he takes a lot from older cinema from which his audience don't watch so he gets credited for the 'originality' and then when he's questioned on it he just says it's a homage ¬_¬

Beautiful.

Beauty music....with lovely memories for my...

a lost art of percussion

Pre-True Romance Soundtrack. :O :)

Gassenhauer nach Hans Neusiedler (1536), commonly known as Gassenhauer is a short piece from Carl Orff's Schulwerk. Hans Zimmer piece "You're So Cool", from the musical score of True Romance (1993), is based on this composition. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gassenhauer

Hans Zimmer always gets very "inspired" by other composers (Trevor Jones, Alan Menken) .. and then people claim these composers had stolen from HIM! .. Ugh! I better forget that and enjoy this wonderful piece ..

Always gives me one hello of a Rush.gonna be played at ml funeral.beautiful tune

True Romance!

True Romance has about as much in common with Badlands as Badlands has with Bonnie and Clyde.

Thank you so much for the video sir. If it wasn't for this host I may have never watched this wonderful movie.

every time I come home from a long trip I play this on the computer

Great!

Great Music , and Beautiful Movie , Tru Romance.

This is the "True Romance scene" from the future. :) :D

@LondonPride25 Well said, indeed (I mean what YOU said--especially about "a still of practically any frame..." )Badlands, Five Easy Pieces and Paper Moon have always been three of my favorite movies. The Last Picture Show is another one from that era that I really love.

niceeee 2021.February

This is CARL ORFF "Poetic music"

1973

@indigozim that it (man) spot on i couldnt of said it better and the music complements the summer night as the sun goes down youthfulness of the film

Duh! Krash954 already answered my question. LOL Anyway, thanks for sharing this. I finally downloaded this piece off a website although I like this version a little better. :)

yeah your right, true romance was a hybrid film mixed from many genres. (like pulp fiction) true romance is about an 'out law couple' like badlands. with gangster themes and so on... peace :)

this song is called Gassenhauer by Carl Orff, it wasn't composed for Badlands, Malick just used it for the movie.

its nice to see youre planning ahead lol

@McNugget06 The sound track was special. also it was killers -one couple killed non-criminals, the other couple killed criminals including some offensive cops. The girl got off on his violence. However the fight scenes were pure Tarantino. Her and Tony Soprano is a classic. The shoot out was only topped by Kill Bill Samurai battle

@LondonPride25 I agree' it is haunting

I'm pretty positive that I just heard this on a lens crafters commercial :/ Great movie.

@jcmoney54 True Romance is a good movie. Badlands is a great film.

Now listen to We Belong Together by Vampire Weekend. Seems inspired by this theme and the movie in general

También soundtrack de FINDING FORRESTER

@JokerRecordings True Romance wasn't a Badlands remake. It clearly inspired the soundtrack though, among a few other things.

Murder in the heartland was based on this

how`s that when badlands came first??!

james taylor did this tune ,and he wont do it on any album ,i think but not 100% its a legal thing , money as usual ,well it is america ! the track is called migration , if anyone does have it , plzzz tell us how to get it .

What is the name of that piece?

you say that because

Agincourt Froggy

Hmmm, it would seem that peanutboy41 hasn't got a clue what he's talking about.

It's Carl Orff's Gassenhauer. If Hans Zimmer 'ripped off' Badlands, then Badlands ripped off the German composer Carl Orff.

Yeah, but "Badlands" isn't a composer, idiot. Star Wars didn't "rip off" John Williams.

duh

hope you are joking. this movie was way before true romance.

@JokerRecordings man, True Romance was a remake of my beloved Badlands? What a hunk of garbage that movie was. Let us never mention its name again.

@acari27 badlands is 8000000000 times better than Tarantino's stupid children's movie

@acari27 seriously, patricia arquette, in that film, does some of the worst acting ever committed to film

True Romance's score is a clear rip-off of this.

i think badlands was slow and uneventful...the only thing that made badlands was good casting (sheen and spacek)-they MADE that film-if they had have cast anyone else it would have been too damn slow and boring...ripping off the theme and spacek style narration for tarantino was a smart move...but true romance IS NOT a remake of badlands...its simply inspired by it...and is MUCH better....this was great FOR ITS TIME......stands ok now...but so overhyped and cultified

Total ripoff from true romance score!
