You can’t walk past a tourist shop in Edinburgh, Scotland, without hearing _Last Of The Mohicans_ being blasted out on the bagpipes. I hear it every day and I still bloody love it. ❤️
May your son find his place in the halls of his ancestors, alongside those whose blood he shares, and may you find him there when you too pass from this world. May you be reunited in the next life, and may you both know peace.
I agree, i think the impact of traditional and tribal music is very similar to modern electronic trance music, especially if there's no singing involved, only music. They both take you to another world just with the rhythm, melodies, instruments and/or electronic sounds. Music without singing is more intense because you get to create your own world, and you forget the music is made by a human, it feels otherworldly.
My dad remembers seeing this in cinemas with my mom. She was pregnant with my sister and rather hormonal, and was rather taken with Daniel Day-Lewis. When he is yelling to Cora "I will find you!" my mom blurted out to the screen "Okay!" in a flustered breathless voice and the whole theatre burst out laughing. 20+ years on and no one lets her live it down XD
I feel you mate. It was a time of war. We have to learn from history that multiculturism do NOT work.By the way, check out Taboo with Tom Hardy.We can all learn from history.
I listened to this soundtrack years before I was allowed to see the movie. Great movie, but the imagination, outdoor adventures, and daydreams of a 12 year old kid go a long way.
I live in Pennsylvania, in the SW where the Whiskey rebellion happened, where a young George Washington watched Tennicarison murder a group of French Surveyors, which promoted the French and Indian War (Seven Years War). Where General Braddock lay in a grave along a road. I grew up in the midst of where history happened. My ancestors were here at that time, settling the frontier. This is my favorite song and always moves me tremendously when I think about this movie and think about what life was like for those very brave souls in this very wild and rough place.❤
1) I am 14th generation of two people on Mayflower. 2) Rebecca O’Neil came to Kentucky from Ireland. In the next few years she got married and had children. You gotta be a badass to leave your family and jump on a ship, and move to the wilderness by your badass self. I wonder if she was an indentured servant or mail order bride?
I am also from w.south western pa.with native blood and this song takes me back to a better time and a better way of life, I'm almost always in the woods, or I'm roaming around bushy run, or ft ligonier, and at cooks forest roaming and going to the reenactments it's where I feel free
Every tartan tat shop in Edinburgh has the glorious pipes version of this blasting out of constant repeat. It is such a profoundly Scottish composition! (Unsurprising given the composer.) If it weren't such a beautiful piece it would be bloody unbearable. Fortunately it's very stirring. 😊
Everyone in the movie,Last of the Mohicans,have to be applauded for their excellence.Even the back ground parts were very realistic.The best movie for Daniel Day Lewis and Madilene Stowe! The movie and music,belong together!
One of the most powerful and haunting themes ever. This is a sensation and feeling like heaven on earth in an epic mode. After hear this, I am feeling like running with an axe to fight an army of barbarian invaders having absolutely no fear...
You can say that again! This song takes my imagination to beautiful places of water falls, dense, lush green forests while running alone the edge of the river.
@@mikemartin3861 Yes, Magua was a great character played superbly by Mr. Studi. The other main Indian actors (Russell Means as Chingachgook- Hawkeye's adopted father, and Eric Schweig as Uncas, son of Chingachgook) do an outstanding job and help make this film one of the best made, imo.
Magnificent! I'm taken back to the beautiful Highlands and the Royal Deeside. Then again to my family's Cooper roots to upper New England and the real setting for the "Last of the Mohicans." It's in our blood. however, as we've become North Carolinians in the mid 1900's, we are familiar with the film settings for the wonderful movie! As descendants of James Fennimore Cooper & proud Native Americans, we are happy and celebrate this marvelous film and explicit documentary of our people, both "Indian" and Gael. The musical score reaches deep into our hearts. Beatrice Blacklock Cooper Kelly.
THANK YOU! This music feels like home, and I am a Berber from Morocco! This must be the music that's played in heaven. Thank you, Doogie McLean for this master piece!
“Hope” to me, best describes the feeling I get when I hear that driving violin. This is hope incarnate, what a beautiful and timeless melody. Here’s to the ancestors! 🥃
How do you describe all the emotions the Gael brings to the heart. I see the ending of the movie, in the amazing chords being played. The movie and song were perfect together! Absolutely breathtaking!!
I had the pleasure of meeting Daniel Day Lewis while he was in the NC Mtns filming this awesome movie..I never will forget driving with my best friend from SC to the area where they were at that day and we actually was able to get thru security because her mother was part of the catering crew..I never will forget how good looking and kind he was just made our day..
I am a nurse and a health worker, this song it reminds me of my favorite patient, he loves the soundtrack’s and every time I am on duty he always talked about the movie’s. This makes me cry sometimes because I love all my patients and they have memories and stories to share and for that I will always remember hin
If he has not yet read Hawthorne's book, he will feel the massive old growth trees around him as he and Hawkeye and Chingachgook and Uncas journey among them... there is an 'immersion' in the book that, despite a phenomenal cast and good writing, just doesn't come through in the movie version, as good as it is...
Crazy what this musical masterpiece can make you feel!! It’s sad yet happy, belittling yet inspirational, angry yet calm!! It’s never the same with me.. every time I hear it I have a different emotional response..
Yesterday, we were promoted to PFCs in the military, and while the actual ceremony, this tune played! it really was a moment of pride after weeks of training, and this music played its part in it!
Actually its not beyond science. It has to do w frequency. Classical music especially. We're hard wired thru our DNA to positively respond to certain frequencies that some music really tap into. Science knows about the effects on our bodies by such things as gregorian chants and other religious c
Simply put the making of music itself is a science, or as Elvis Costello once said " trying to describe the creation of music is like dancing to architecture".
It's because we're emotional people. Words can evoke anger and fear but also protective feelings and physical responses, it can give you hope and help when you need it. You put that to music that touches the heart and you can bring about all kinds of responses. It's called being human. I really enjoyed the movie but the music brought it all together. Watch "the patriot". It's the same. Music brings you into the movie, makes you part of it.
This Song triggers so much emotions and memories even though they have nothing to do with the movie...Powerful and Lifting and yet 'sad' and melacholic...
Please take a minute to realy listen this music will inspire drive and encourage you to fulfill your dreams .lend him your ears for he is saving your future. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪. Thank you
I remember watching this movie with my dad. Was awesome back then and this music is what remember the most. Excellent! Btw Werdum using it as intro brought back memories.
"The Search" by Dougie MacLean is an insanely beautiful album...almost every single track is awesome. But this one was always my favorite. My parents used to play the cassette tape for us, and then when I saw the movie for the first time and heard the orchestration of it, chills ran down my spine. There is an intense determination within that builds and grows, just like the movie
kinda funny how its grown into this autonomous architype of musical expression, and yet it was originally commissioned and written for a Loch Ness Monster visitor centre : ) LOL
I've travelled to, both, Fort William Henry and Fort Ticonderoga in Upper State New York. This song reminds me of not only watching the movie but being on the battlefields. The abject beauty of the surrounding scenery in contrast to horrid things which took place back in the 1750's is like no other experience I've ever felt.
+adrian wilson on other news, darth vader is lukes father and bruce willys was dead from the start in the sixth sence. And blade runner ends on a cliffhanger. And in Specter James Bond brother is Bloefield. Did I mentioned how jack nicholsons joker killed batmans parents in the tim burton version?
it reminds me of the strivings of life, loss/love, birth/death, the fear and hope..and overcoming all by pressing on.. i can feel it in this. . it's unforgettable music for a great movie.
Got mad fond memories of this track playing when we graduated at the National Infantry Museum. One of the proudest moments of my life walking along that graduation trail.
I used to listen to this song before I would play in a hockey game. It calmed my nerves and got me pumped up all at the same time. Wicked awesome piece
I love this movie. It's not often anymore that you see a film that's a real Romance, in the original sense of the word (rather than its "love story" meaning). This theme is glorious, capturing the beauty, pride, and heartbreak of the story.
It's rare that the music is as memorable as the film itself; the last one I recall being like that was the original "Star Wars." "Last of the Mohicans" was excellent.
I'm haunted by this damn melody; my mother was so in love with Lewis, every Sunday my brothers and I would be woken up by it, usually around the same time.
I'm listening to this on Memorial Day of 2018. Soon leaving for Marine Corps. basic training. I couldnt listen to a better song on a better day for a better event for the future.
@Kalamere S "Gael" does not refer only to Irish. We Scots are Gaels too - hence the language of the Highlands & Islands is called "Gaelic"!!! And FYI the composer Dougie MacLean is a Scotsman - born in Dunblane in central Scotland (where Andy Murray also grew up...).
The Irish refer to their native language as gaelic also. Irish Welsh and Scots are all gaelic peoples. Celts too but thats part of a broader regional culture.
I saw this in the theatre in Tulsa when it first came out. It was the first time I had experienced surround sound which was new at the time. It was pretty awesome! I watch this movie once or twice a year. I am a historical reenactor so I have all the historical movies on DVD. Love this tune.
An enthralling tune to be sure. Having read and then seen the movie, and having the scenes where the tune played go through one's head fills out the experience of listening just like putting that first cookie in one"s mouth after it has soaked several seconds in milk.
When ever I hear this music I imagine myself heroically running to my inevitable death, in slow motion, towards a company of armed men and all I have is me tomahawk and me dagger. I can think of no death more glorious.
+Anton Nzl He was running into close-contact hand to hand combat. A rifle would be useless there unless you wanted to use it as a club and Killdeer" was too fine a rifle for that. What he has in his hands is infinitely reusable until his strength fails.
I love this song but it makes me cry every time that I hear it now. The champion of my people is dead. Rest in Peace Russell Means. May you sit at the fires of our ancestors and ride free forever.
It is a sad and magnificent film, but it's based on a fictional book, Selena, the Mohicans are alive and well in Wisconsin, and there are said to be more American-Indians alive today than ever before, arguably due to modern developments in hygiene and food, dwelling and other technology.
Indeed, there are few things that common with Mongolians and Indians 1.Scalping 2.Tribal system. I belong to sharnuud tribe for example, while Chinggis was Kyan tribe which was one of 3 ruling clans of Hun empire. The last thing, don't get angry on me, is alcoholizm. But difference is, we Mongolians got beards, and especially in central Mongolia we have groups that children in little age got white-blonde hair and green-gray eyes, funny thing is their hair turns black when they grow up, but green or grey eyes remain same. Maybe we got some blood from now extinct "white skinned blue eyed barbarians" mentioned many times in ancient chinese histories. Search Yuezhi in wiki for more details about this Asian white people, maybe they were related to Ainu, white aborigines of Japanese island... BUT, MAIN THING HERE IS THIS MUSIC IS AMAZING!! :)
Romulus Rothgard 10 to 20,000 years ago the first civilizations were still in Asia, Africa, and Europe. 8 to 10,000 years ago people were settling in the Bering Sea islands and lands. 5,400 to 1,000 years ago people were moving into the Americas. If your referring to the Kenniwick man, he was actually from South Asia.
Here I am on the eve of Independence Day in the bosom of New England. This song and this movie have special interest for me as I hear fireworks go off and people sing "God Bless America."
***** I've got news for you. Go to www.powwows.com and see how assimilated Native Americans are in the culture of the U.S. During a powwow's grand parade the flag bearers carry the Stars and Stripes in first, then the MIA/POW flag.
***** There are a few basic historical bits you've left out. First of all, the most serious "slaughtering" of Native Americans began long before the American Revolution, when Europeans brought their poxy bodies over usually to trap fur that didn't belong to them in exchange for cheap glitter and whole tribes were decimated by disease. As opposed to Latin American natives, there are more native North Americans now than there were in the early 17th century; that cannot be said of the Spanish and Portuguese influence. Finally, to try and explain to you the mindset of the natives of the U.S., in their most prestigious and public selves displayed at powwows they carry the American flag not because they have to but because they KNOW where they come from and they are proud of it.
Afterthought: There were always a great number of "nations" (e.g., Creek, Cherokee, Iroquois, Adirondack, Seminole, Sioux, Navajo, etc.): Now, just like immigrants who came here from other lands, they're all Americans.
This movie, for me, portrays the Indigenous, ancestral Native Americans as a proud, strong, intelligent, and fierce people from east to west! All of us!
i agree with you all - all native peoples of the world were noble- from australia to greenland - it was the industrial revolution that killed our souls.
Samuel Lord True, I don't claim that it was 100% bad (as I sit in a heated room in australia on a chinese made computer, listening to dutch music and drinking african coffee) - but I do think that a lot was lost in industrialisation- much of our sense of community, spirituality and connection with the land for example. It would be nice to have those things back... AND keep my computer and coffee
I saw this film when I was 12y, because an enligsh teacher was discussing the book and the movie. My mom rented this movie for me from Blockbuster (when they were still around). And let me tell you, it was gut wrenching watching it. I cried SO MUCH watching the ending... and to this day, it is a movie that I can't watch entirely withouth feeling emotional. Im 28y at the moment, and I still consider it a great film.
damn...I surrendered myself without a fight. I'm weak. but tomorrow is another day. tomorrow I will fight again. tomorrow I will rise and continue forward. tomorrow I will conquer what needs conquering. tomorrow I am victorious. ..
I first discovered this song when I came across circa paleo playing it on TH-cam, and since then it's become my favourite thing to listen to, and play on the violin:)
How can you not love this song. Outstanding. I have watch "The Last of The Mohicans' about 6 times for the Movie and for this song. It sounds more Irish then Scottish.
So stirring, yet such a simple musical theme. Just goes to show what a good composer can do. Cant listen to this without a chill down my spine. Cheers Joker....
You can’t walk past a tourist shop in Edinburgh, Scotland, without hearing _Last Of The Mohicans_ being blasted out on the bagpipes. I hear it every day and I still bloody love it. ❤️
A local pipe band here in North Carolina does an excellent version with pipes, drums, and brass. It's incredible!
Good that you do! I would consider that to be a wonderful thing too.
I know exactly where you're talking about too haha is it the piper along that street round near Edinburgh castle?
It is great....I Iove it since I First heard it
Imagine being Irish. We feel this passion every time we walk by a pub 😉
This is the first time I have been able to listen to this track since my son's funeral. My son loved this track and this was our farewell....
+Gerda Coture Bless you. My dad died 12 years ago, and I still miss him. This was one of his favourite films - he loved Russell Means' character.
The Force will forever be with you
May your son find his place in the halls of his ancestors, alongside those whose blood he shares, and may you find him there when you too pass from this world. May you be reunited in the next life, and may you both know peace.
+Atraxus Wraithe lovely words bud. Very touching indeed.
My friend knew Dougie MacLean well. When he died, we had this played at his funeral. This will always remind me of him, so I know how you feel xx
There is a definite relationship between gaelic music and trance where by it touches the deepest darkest and wildest parts of your soul.
That is almost exactly how Cora describes her emotions she feels of the frontier to Nathanial in the movie.
Gaelic and tribal !! Yes.. to your soul
I agree, i think the impact of traditional and tribal music is very similar to modern electronic trance music, especially if there's no singing involved, only music. They both take you to another world just with the rhythm, melodies, instruments and/or electronic sounds. Music without singing is more intense because you get to create your own world, and you forget the music is made by a human, it feels otherworldly.
Definitely 👍🏻
Been listening to different musicians play this for about 4 hours......this is my final farewell music
Having watched this film for the first time about 3 hours ago, that's pretty much what I've been doing 😄
My dad remembers seeing this in cinemas with my mom. She was pregnant with my sister and rather hormonal, and was rather taken with Daniel Day-Lewis. When he is yelling to Cora "I will find you!" my mom blurted out to the screen "Okay!" in a flustered breathless voice and the whole theatre burst out laughing.
20+ years on and no one lets her live it down XD

Agreed!
It makes you feel like there is hope, if you fight for it.
In this fucked up multicultural world we have to fight. I WILL
+john1 tbh not criticising your views but that statement is pretty ironic considering the nature of the movie that this soundtrack is from

That melody is really haunting. Not sure how else to describe it. It never gets old.

yes haunting is a great way to describe it. I would add hauntingly beautiful
nothing haunting about it. i hear something powerful however
I will!

Hands down, best movie score of all time! Pure genius.
So beautiful. It is, by far, the best instrumental music I've ever heard. So soothing, so beautiful
Every time I hear this song I see when the soldier was burned at the stake, when Uncas was killed and when the sister jumped.
Same.
Every time I leave this it just makes me want to cry
The moment Uncas sees Alice, the way you can se him falling in love
It's so breathtaking yet when he screamed as he burned I wanted to hurt them. The song takes you there and it grips you.
I know for me I can remember when he is coming after them and you can almost hear the musket being fired.
When I was young I ran through the woods just like the opening of this movie. A powerful memory.
This movie had a profound effect on me when I watched it at 10 years old. Love the music, thanks for posting.
I love this movie. It's not often anymore that you see a film that's a real Romance, in the original sense of the word (rather than its "love story" meaning). This theme is glorious, capturing the beauty, pride, and heartbreak of the story.
All time fav film got the book as well and I just love the music
Every one talks about this song.But few mention Dougie maclean. Scottish legend.
Wow, this is a great song. It evokes such an emotional response when you're watching the movie.
I love music filled with emotion
Saw Dougie perform this live in Burlington. Such talent.
I love running to this, it wad the first time I found out how to fall into a rhythm during a run.
Beautiful. And a beautiful movie!
It's rare that the music is as memorable as the film itself; the last one I recall being like that was the original "Star Wars." "Last of the Mohicans" was excellent.
I don't know about you, but I remember songs from any movie I enjoy. Sometimes i enjoy the music more than the movie.
Braveheart!
Agree on Last of the Mohicans have you watched Midnight Express? They are both on a par in my view
I'm haunted by this damn melody; my mother was so in love with Lewis, every Sunday my brothers and I would be woken up by it, usually around the same time.
So many chills! Every time I hear this!! A truly great movie as well
I'm listening to this on Memorial Day of 2018. Soon leaving for Marine Corps. basic training. I couldnt listen to a better song on a better day for a better event for the future.
Dang, Dougie Maclean! You stir every drop of Celtic blood in me!
Honestly Dougie Maclean's version sounds more like a tears for fears song. Personally I like this version better.
Favio Avennicci Do you know if this version is on Spotify?
Sadly no, though there are tons of other versions
same and im not even celtic
somegoodish
Haha, imagine then how I (and others with Celtic blood may) feel ^^
Superb and inspiring. Music is the worlds universal language.
@Kalamere S "Gael" does not refer only to Irish. We Scots are Gaels too - hence the language of the Highlands & Islands is called "Gaelic"!!!
And FYI the composer Dougie MacLean is a Scotsman - born in Dunblane in central Scotland (where Andy Murray also grew up...).
Gaelic culture originated in Ireland and was brought to Scotland by the Irish Dál Riatans.
^ That's about as stupid as saying the English aren't English, they're German or Norse, Roman even...
@@JimmyRnj you should look up the origins of the scots and irish gaels on irish grigenes for a more realistic and accurate account
The Irish refer to their native language as gaelic also. Irish Welsh and Scots are all gaelic peoples. Celts too but thats part of a broader regional culture.
this track is so amazing I just love it so much
I saw this in the theatre in Tulsa when it first came out. It was the first time I had experienced surround sound which was new at the time. It was pretty awesome! I watch this movie once or twice a year. I am a historical reenactor so I have all the historical movies on DVD. Love this tune.
Gives me cold chills every time, like I just saw a ghost. Genius!
An enthralling tune to be sure. Having read and then seen the movie, and having the scenes where the tune played go through one's head fills out the experience of listening just like putting that first cookie in one"s mouth after it has soaked several seconds in milk.
one of the best themes of all time
very moving
i never get tired of it
When ever I hear this music I imagine myself heroically running to my inevitable death, in slow motion, towards a company of armed men and all I have is me tomahawk and me dagger. I can think of no death more glorious.
+Anton Nzl He was running into close-contact hand to hand combat. A rifle would be useless there unless you wanted to use it as a club and Killdeer" was too fine a rifle for that. What he has in his hands is infinitely reusable until his strength fails.
+Carole Clarke "Cough" Bayonet *Cough*
Just watch the assasins creed 3 trailer. Im sure its that what you imagined :D
+Anton Nzl The question is did you die before even reaching the enemy?
Awesome imagination!
One fine soundtrack to one classic film
One of my favorite all-time soundtracks and film. Definitely added a great deal to this film.
I love this song but it makes me cry every time that I hear it now. The champion of my people is dead. Rest in Peace Russell Means. May you sit at the fires of our ancestors and ride free forever.
It is a sad and magnificent film, but it's based on a fictional book, Selena, the Mohicans are alive and well in Wisconsin, and there are said to be more American-Indians alive today than ever before, arguably due to modern developments in hygiene and food, dwelling and other technology.
Selena Akerley aho
@@stupidtreehugger kinda hard to believe when once all of North America was native American territory
I just wanna grab a musket, run and save my girlfriend! Even though she's not in danger!!!!
Romulus Rothgard damn idiot am speechless, I really dont know what to say to this? this based on a movie you saw? 20,000 years ago?! go fuck your self
idiot you are dying already... you are a minority already!
aikidosa You are both a disgrace to your own people.
Indeed, there are few things that common with Mongolians and Indians 1.Scalping 2.Tribal system. I belong to sharnuud tribe for example, while Chinggis was Kyan tribe which was one of 3 ruling clans of Hun empire. The last thing, don't get angry on me, is alcoholizm. But difference is, we Mongolians got beards, and especially in central Mongolia we have groups that children in little age got white-blonde hair and green-gray eyes, funny thing is their hair turns black when they grow up, but green or grey eyes remain same. Maybe we got some blood from now extinct "white skinned blue eyed barbarians" mentioned many times in ancient chinese histories. Search Yuezhi in wiki for more details about this Asian white people, maybe they were related to Ainu, white aborigines of Japanese island... BUT, MAIN THING HERE IS THIS MUSIC IS AMAZING!! :)
Romulus Rothgard
10 to 20,000 years ago the first civilizations were still in Asia, Africa, and Europe. 8 to 10,000 years ago people were settling in the Bering Sea islands and lands. 5,400 to 1,000 years ago people were moving into the Americas.
If your referring to the Kenniwick man, he was actually from South Asia.
Here I am on the eve of Independence Day in the bosom of New England. This song and this movie have special interest for me as I hear fireworks go off and people sing "God Bless America."
***** Not here it's not. It's a pure pleasure to feel free to love your country in spite of its many flaws!
***** I don't understand your comment. Could you explain, please?
***** I've got news for you. Go to www.powwows.com and see how assimilated Native Americans are in the culture of the U.S. During a powwow's grand parade the flag bearers carry the Stars and Stripes in first, then the MIA/POW flag.
***** There are a few basic historical bits you've left out. First of all, the most serious "slaughtering" of Native Americans began long before the American Revolution, when Europeans brought their poxy bodies over usually to trap fur that didn't belong to them in exchange for cheap glitter and whole tribes were decimated by disease. As opposed to Latin American natives, there are more native North Americans now than there were in the early 17th century; that cannot be said of the Spanish and Portuguese influence. Finally, to try and explain to you the mindset of the natives of the U.S., in their most prestigious and public selves displayed at powwows they carry the American flag not because they have to but because they KNOW where they come from and they are proud of it.
Afterthought: There were always a great number of "nations" (e.g., Creek, Cherokee, Iroquois, Adirondack, Seminole, Sioux, Navajo, etc.): Now, just like immigrants who came here from other lands, they're all Americans.
This movie, for me, portrays the Indigenous, ancestral Native Americans as a proud, strong, intelligent, and fierce people from east to west! All of us!
diddo:)
So we're most cultures\people around the world the Celts, the gales the pics the germancis etc
i agree with you all - all native peoples of the world were noble- from australia to greenland - it was the industrial revolution that killed our souls.
***** But without the Industrial Revolution, we would not have computers.
Samuel Lord True, I don't claim that it was 100% bad (as I sit in a heated room in australia on a chinese made computer, listening to dutch music and drinking african coffee) - but I do think that a lot was lost in industrialisation- much of our sense of community, spirituality and connection with the land for example. It would be nice to have those things back... AND keep my computer and coffee
How does a song, make me feel like it gives me the strength to fight ten grizzly bears???
I suggest one for starters. See how that goes. Then try two grizzly bears.
Watch your mouth
make me feel like i wanna a mad dash toward someone i hate with the outmost intensity and beat the shit out of him with a warclub
I saw this film when I was 12y, because an enligsh teacher was discussing the book and the movie. My mom rented this movie for me from Blockbuster (when they were still around). And let me tell you, it was gut wrenching watching it. I cried SO MUCH watching the ending... and to this day, it is a movie that I can't watch entirely withouth feeling emotional. Im 28y at the moment, and I still consider it a great film.
I like to listen to this while I type essays. It's soothing, and inspires me.
Halfway done with an essay, and I need some inspiration in my life.
love this epic music
I never get tired of hearing this amazing piece of music. It stirs the soul.
damn...I surrendered myself without a fight. I'm weak. but tomorrow is another day. tomorrow I will fight again. tomorrow I will rise and continue forward. tomorrow I will conquer what needs conquering. tomorrow I am victorious. ..
Ben Vaz thé fight IS all yours
2020 and still loving this ❣️
I first discovered this song when I came across circa paleo playing it on TH-cam, and since then it's become my favourite thing to listen to, and play on the violin:)
One of my favorite fighters, Fabricio Werdum, walked out to this theme in UFC 188. So epic!
How can you not love this song. Outstanding. I have watch "The Last of The Mohicans' about 6 times for the Movie and for this song. It sounds more Irish then Scottish.
So stirring, yet such a simple musical theme. Just goes to show what a good composer can do. Cant listen to this without a chill down my spine. Cheers Joker....
ALL I CAN SAY IT I LOVE THIS MUSIC......ALL THE WAY TO MY BONES :)
