This has to be one of my favorite pieces of music yet. There are no words, yet it tells a story very loud and clear. My interpretation is as follows: The beginning of the song starts with rain and thunder, soon an you can hear an instrument in the distance. This is symbolic of a voice crying out but is unheard, due to the sounds of rain and thunder in the foreground. This distant “voice” is carried throughout most of the song and can be heard in the background. more on that later. Soon a violin starts playing in the foreground, this is another voice, a voice crying for help. Eventually an orchestra builds up in the background, foreshadowing the voices you’ll hear next. The orchestra comes into the foreground along with the violin. This orchestra can either be interpreted as a group of voices, or one voice saying many things. Later afterwards the orchestra takes over and the violin stops. So far it the story is that someone in need of help has been heard, and this orchestra that takes over is representative of their actions taken to “help.” I put help in quotations as soon after the same voice appears with the same tone, showing that whatever was done has helped the voice one bit. A few moments later the violin changes in tone and the orchestra crescendos, this could be seen as a sudden scene of conflict, the result of the conflict soon apparent after the orchestra takes over, and STAYS for the remainder of the song. So what happened? Someone needed help and was betrayed, they soon figured it out and became a conflict with the person or group of people helping the other person, after which they “silence” the voice of the other person forever. Now where does the background voice from the beginning of the song come in? The background voice is a warning of what was to come. The rain and thunder is a representation of the orchestra covering up their previous actions to the background voice. The best part about all this is that once you listen to it multiple times, you’ll start to realize that the foreground voice crying for help becomes the background warning voice from the last time you listened to it.

I always imagine a bird flying through the storm!The rain is loud and heavy but the bird is victorious and finds shelter!

This song is a major-nelson EPIC! I can already imagine it on my LIVE STREAM!

I tripped so hard to this song on DMT. It was the most incredible and intense six minutes of my entire life. I thought it was just the drugs until I listened to it again... This song has so much power. I've never surrendered to so much passion before.

So... marvellous, Max Richter is a genius. Thanks to that animation all problems seams so small. With better quality it would be even better. Great job. Keep on working.

the song and the show Leftovers were made for each other!

This brilliant piece is on the House of cards, season 3, episode 9. It's just out of this world!!! 🤩

Oh my God, this is amazing. I've heard it on the J. Edgar trailer, and this is just beautiful.

when i listen to this i go straight to the Leftovers now ...

Yesssss me too

Listening to this again after two years I finally understood how music is made - you are just playing out a story, what you felt. With this one, there are two levels for me - the first is the emotional musicscape of the composer, the second is what I felt and lived two years ago.

this music comes from another world

I love this song sooooooooo much...Thank u Max on the richter scale of awesomeness!!!!

Wow, this song made me stop what i was doing so now i am just sitting listening to this beautiful and unique piece. I am in another world!

i can see the evolution of nature from the begining and the and, all at the same time. THANK YOU MAX!

Simply beautifull.

Crying so hard when I listen to this song

very beautiful music. so glad i encountered this mans music

Few and far between are the works of man that can truly be considered awesome. I believe this may be one of them.

I can feel it... I can feel the cosmos!

Bellissimo lavoro , un vortice che ti trascina nel profondo delle tue emozioni più intime e le trascina in superficie creando un caos emotivo dal quale non può che emergere un un respiro .....l'essenza dell'anima. ...

who would dislike this? seriously. this is so amazing.

Guys like Richter convince me there´s still hope for humanity. =)

love this tune, thanks for posting

selten etwas schöneres gehört.

just watching this video fills my brain with beautiful things...

he was popular with me for this music when I heard it used by the Scottish Dance Theatre five or so years ago.. its so powerful in its use!

Oh cant believe this was made 10 years ago

This made me cry. Made me feel such powerful emotions.

I first learned of this artist ironically enough from a previous Leonardo Dicaprio film, Shutter Island. Love max richter!

im mad about astronomy and music. this combination was terrific. thanks.

@TheSilverDubber Very stunning indeed! Cheers 4 sharing ;/

I just heard this in The Black Watch, which was fantastic.

Beautiful video with awesome music; a nearly perfect mix!

This reminds me of Vivaldi's four seasons ( winter ) . So beautiful !!

wow. a whole insanely amazing song for november! amazing

thanks man!

no problem at all, i also discover great songs in trailers. but it's unfair that this great artist (Max Ritcher) doesn't have more popularity. he only became more known when he appeared in a Clint Eastwood movie's trailer.

this violon is awesome

OMG merci beaucoup...

my only gripe is that Christopher Ecclestone is such a fantastic actor that he is slightly inhibited by his ability to do a convincing, sounding normal American accent. Would have preferred him as a British reverend, think he would have shined more even though he stole the show tonite!!!

Oh, my November... :)

haunting, inspiring, appreciated :)

that reminds me something. so sensitive music

i dont mind that people get to know max richter through the J Edgar trailer. more people being exposed to deep, quality music is always a good thing :)

Thank you. I appreciate your good words :-).

Powerful!

"It's time this generation knew the difference between a hero, and a villain"

This is so fucking good!!!!!!!11111111 I miss Leftovers so much

O.o, this was in Blackwatch!...YEY

EPIC!!

The final of The LeftLovers

this song makes me want to cry, in a good way

"She has suspected it all along, and now she knew. He was a coward. A coward dressed in the uniform of a brave man. Brave enough to cross two oceans and continent to find her, but in the end, he was terrified. He was terrified of her, to lie beside her, to be comforted by her as he wept, to show her he was small, for her to know that and touch his cheek and whisper words softly in his ear. All of that was a nightmare. All he knew to do was run. He took a deep breath of the air, tasting salt on his tongue and closed his eyes leaning into the spray as the Merciful picked up speed and sailed into the horizon. He was alone, and all was well."

Using this song in my book/ movie that is coming out

Powerfull

just amazing

An what heaven did you come from??????? Because my SOUL LIVES THERE!

@Bog4ch Thank you for kind words! It's good to feel that I have been of some help :-)

thumbs up if you knew this artist before J. Edgar movie trailer

I first heard this song on stereomood, added to my playlist right away. It felt a little like ZimmerMans epicness.

@YouthComplex Thank you for your comment. Firstly, I did not create the animation, its footage from NASA and ESA. However, if I attempt to discuss the valid comment you make I would say that black holes probably don't move per se but what may appear to be moving is the time/space horizon that we observe as it is being consumed by the black hole and passing to another side/dimension? What do you think?

Max Richter könnte der Sohn von Philip Glass sein... Soviel Ähnlichkeiten zu Glass in diesem Werk.

The book is called The Battle Has Begun and it's about a boy in world war 2 REALLY INTENSE! Not for little kids 13+ yeah it's super intense. so please support The Battle Has Begun and thank you so much

E.A.R.G.A.S.M.I.C

Oscar for Hoover!

Max Richter loves Philip Glass, and Alberto Iglesias loves Max Richter ( this sounds like "The skin I live in" by Pedro Almodóvar soundtrack! )

well um....I only mean that I think of this as the signature tune for Luxuria by Scottish Dance Theatre..thats enoguh..Blackwatch is one I missed.Everything at the Edinburgh Festival is high quality but the SDT remains up North and 'exclusive!' Blackwatch is being repeated in London I think..anyway Max deserves the money-hes a genius

Good animations (Y)

everything suddenly seems so insignificant...

hardstyle 4 lyf

I'm leaving this galaxy for one a little less complicated one

@VampiraSlayer - Hahahahaha, OMG, same here!!!! XD On the Nature of Daylight is so hauntingly beautiful. ^_^ Its use in Shutter Island just made it more depressing.

Thanks to J. Edgar Trailer to make me know a such beautiful song. Can't wait January for watch this new piece of art form Eastwood !

@mptful i know, but most of the viewers just came here, after the release of the movie trailer (thats not my case xD )

The Leftovers!!!!! \o/

Beautiful! - bought the whole album on CD - do not like streaming.

@MiguelGuedesPinto Thumbs up if you knew him before Shutter Island.

black holes are so strange... i wonder if it's like a rip in the fabric of space or something.. :o

@YouthComplex @mptful Perhaps the black holes don't move and it's the universe moving around the black hole.

@zona604 I used avidemux to cut longer video footage from NASA and ESA to fit the time/ambience of the music. Very easy really. :-)

gah would love some 720+ thanks though :)

Between you and MrSteelburgh I'd say this is far more like Philip Glass than Hans Zimmer. Pandora makes no sense sometimes. I find this through a Bear McReary station... The hell?

I want to play this on the piano. How??? I can't find anything on how to play it

Oh when I look at you I'm sure it's not.

Leftovers!!

is there anywhere this video in high resolution?

Is this in anyway affiliated with the band Memoryhouse?
