I am a student from El Salvador, and I got the blessing to get a scholarship to study in the USA. I have to say. Thomas Bergensen captured all the details that you feel when going to another country to follow your dream. There are moments of joy, wonder, adventure and sunny days, but they are an equal number of trials and sadness (perfectly portrayed by Missing Home 26:18). All I can say is thank you Thomas, you have portrayed in 44 minutes what 2 years of my adventure have been. I am looking forward for your next album!
OMG!!!!!!!! I am 65 yrs old. I grew up listening to the likes of Arthur Fiedler, Henry Mancini, Stanley Black and The London Philamonic Orchestra, etc. This arrangement reminds me of all of them and listening to this phenomenal music with my father. Please keep it coming. Beautiful, outstanding!!!!
Im 23 too man I discovered TSFH about a year ago and he opened my eyes what's a great music. For a 100 years people will cheer him like we do Mozart today.
@@niveausubmarine380 c'mon man... my dad is 65 and he just got his first smart phone. Poor old people get made fun of for being "old", now you're giving them a hard time for being relevant!
Dear Thomas Bergersen, I'm so glad that in this world, there's a person as talented as Beethoven and Mozart and Chopin etc. And that person is you. I sat the entire 44 minutes hearing this wonderful piece, and it felt like watching a movie. Thank you Thomas Bergersen for giving me such inspiration. You've completely changed my life. I've never experienced a greater 44 minutes of my life listening to music. I just wanted to say thank you and continue to inspire others. Your music will always be my relief, my guide, my inspiration. You're the BEST. Keep up the good work!! God bless AMERICA and TFSH!!! -TSFH Fan.
@@WillyyKW ...generally speaking, you are right. But the context here is a different one. See Wikipedia: "The American Dream is a national ethos of the United States".
Ditto the inspiration. When I got back into music after a 16 year hiatus, instead of doing my usual "rock"-ish stuff, I wanted to work with [sampled] orchestra, entirely inspired by Two Steps and Thomas. Thanks Two Steps, I'm having a blast (and it's a great Cvd19 quarantine activity)!
@Jonathan Schmidt A flamethrower sounds pretty cool, but it doesn't feel right to compare TSFH with it if a smal spark can keep a dream alive. TSFH is more like the sun in that case :)
So cool to hear a full length classical style work from Bergersen! It proves how he has absolutely mastered his craft as a composer! The orchestration, the structure and development is top notch as always.
This. Is. Beautiful! So American in sound! It touched my heart and soul. This is music that someone like John Williams would compose, but Bergersen is NORWEGIAN!! This is by far my favorite TSFH work. So ambitious and American in sound. Someone should make a film surrounding this music. No dialogue. Just music. Anyway, There were times I genuinely teared up! Especially at “The American Dream”. God bless you! ♥️
This is not better than From the new world Symphony or Violin concerto-Mendelsohn, etc, but is beautiful, anyway. Also, it is his First concert. I wait his second. Probably Thomas Bergersen is the best of our time
If you look at the text of the cover, it says "American Dream". But the word "Dream" stands under "ican", so you can read "I Can Dream". Coincidence, or a deep hidden meaning? Edit: of course this doesn't need to be true, it is a bit far fetched and highly coincidence. I saw it somehow, and I completely understand if you think this comment is overrated and/or cringe. But it still is something that could be a nice touch to a wonderfull musicpiece like this one.
This is one of the most beautiful compositions I have ever heard. Thomas Should be proud of what he has accomplished and he will forever be ingrained in my, and many others, memories. Thank you Mr. Bergersen and as always, good luck in all your future endeavors.
This is an amazing masterpiece. I don't understand why all my friends think, that I am crazy because of hearing TSFH. This is what we call great music. Music that will listen by people in thousand years. Thank you all to listen to this masterpiece and give inspiration and love to everyone in the comments. I love you all and your music Thomas and Nick. ❤ with love from Germany
One of the most prolific and impressive composers of the 21st Century. I am awestruck by this and his Humanity series. The depth, scope snd breadth of his styles is mind bending. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This really needs to be adapted into a musical. I just imagine a classic 1920's themed story with ups and downs, but the message being about how the American Dream will never die. Better yet, just accompanying this with a video flying through the various places of America. With all its weather and beauty, its cities, and people. All showcased in some nice 45 minute way timed to the music.
This whole mix embodies what once was and hopefully will be again the Soul of America and the dream it has. Like all nations, it goes though rough times that will soon make men strong to rebuild the dream so that peace and prosperity can flourish again. There is still hope in the hearts of mankind and by the love and grace of God, America will be the light to this benighted world!
I've been laying down on my bed for 45 minutes doing nothing except listening to this masterpiece. Thank you Thomas for giving us magical and breathtaking music *_*
We are privileged to be living in a time where the world is seemingly falling apart; yet we have some beautiful music to rekindle our spark and interest to savor the lovely things human beings produce with their creativity for our reflection and enjoyment. Thank you Mr. Bergersen.
"the world is seemingly falling apart" - emphasis on "seemingly". The world is a better place than ever. Don't let media clutter your view of the world too much.
I agree with your sentiments about Mr. Bergersen, however, I find your lack of confidence in the world to be quite alarming. The world is greater now than it has ever been in all of human history. We should be grateful that we live in our current time because a hundred years ago, people didn't have the resources and opportunities that we have right now. We should remain positive as best as we can because our futures will inevitably lead to our children's futures, as well as other people's futures too. This is one of the most important aspects of our lives and should be instilled in all of us. I hope you will recognize these ideas at one point or another and as always, good luck in all your future endeavors.
I agree with Windaros. Terrible things are happening on the news every day (especially here in America), but keep faith & remember that these things only make the news because they are so rare.
It seems to me that this album was released in such a divisive time for America because it is meant to serve as a reminder on what the U.S.A. was founded on, and that those principles should never be forgotten. The country has never been perfect, and it never will be, but it can still be the light of hope in the darkest of times. This album reminds us that it is still worth believing in the American Dream--so that all who seek out happiness may find it.
This masterpiece has never been a continuous mix for me. I 've always been treating it as a single long song. I 've never listened to any of the standalone songs on its own. ...And yet I wish this song was longer...
Sis Az-Rid I wish the pleb stopped worshipping worthless talentless overpaid millionnaires and stupid people the music industry glorifies, and instead focused on music that requires actual talent and passion..
I hadn't gotten any interest in symphony because its melody was too professional for the common, until this. American Dream is so emotically inspiring that i listen to it all the time. The musical flow is smooth and the melody is easy to understand. This is my first and most favourite symphony ever.
Thank you, Mr. Bergersen. It is because of your art, first ignited from "Heart of Courage" that I have grown to live for music. Feeling chills for the first time, drawing out emotions that I didn't even know I had. It is an understatement to say that it is now my passion, as I strive to discover more through this medium of music about both myself and others. This channel indeed receives many comments like this one. But please remember that I, and every other person with a like history of love/loss; a life, will be changed for the rest of our lives, and will be able to look back on each of our "hearts of courage" for the moment that moved all moments after. Because of this even will the world be moved; people are awesome marvels capable of what seems impossible, as you are testiment of. I am no longer the child who saw through your lense the possibility of expressing the human experience. I am maturing now into a man who could become such only through that experience transforming me. I can't tell you thank you enough. May God bless you and Nick.
Your music is such an inspiration to me. It really got me through a difficult time when my grandfather was in the hospital. He and I would listen to your music in the car and while we were painting. Please continue to bring about new pieces. I don't know what I would do without your music.
damn the violin at 32:25 makes me grin like an idiot every time. Massive brass and percussion section finishes and then that violin comes in, bold as can be and keeps the excitement going without skipping a beat. I love it.
Like a French comment here (I _think_ ) said, this really does take you on a voyage. There are so many emotions conveyed in this, carried through the loveliest American aura, it really just makes me happy to listen to all of this despite the stuff going on in my life right now.
Somehow it touched me, my soul, my opinion, my entire being. American Dream is just a wonderfull masterpiece, because listening those tracks is like watching a really good movie.
i heard every second of this 44:14 minutes video, now i feel... so inspired, so free, so sad, so happy, so wounded but also so alive listening this, Thomas is a fancy genius
I've been a long-time listener of TSFH, and I personally think this is their best work yet. I've listened through the entire 44 minutes many times, and the end still brings tears to my eyes.
24 people without a soul definitely. This symphony is uplifting, emotional, intelligent and VERY well done. I couldn't expect less from this "Monster" composer. I think American Dream is the biggest and, as far, better works from THOMAS BERGERSEN.
I felt a disturbance in the Force, a shockwave as though the very earth was trembling... I heard thousands upon thousands of people suddenly cried out as the tide grew ever taller... And were suddenly in applause as the tide ebbed, leaving its masterpiece behind as a token like how waves leave behind shells, like how the ships of old left their passengers on American shores. I heard the cries of the crowds as they begged the tide to return, to showcase even more the power of music and the stories they tell. TSFH and Thomas are the wave, and they shall return as the tide leaves to gather together another display of power for the next showing. Great job guys. E pluribus unum truly stands here!
This music is beautiful and so inspiring, truly music to dream to. There are so many different types of music that convey so many emotions. I hear many movie scores throughout this. What a gift Thomas Bergersen to the world!
37:09 Marks quite a change in mood. Definitely reminiscent of John Williams in how he writes brass. Very nice nod, Mr. Bergersen. Your work never ceases to amaze my ears and imagination ❤
I'm astounded that after two years this doesn't have over 10 million listens.. at least. The modern ear of the masses has surely withered so much as to not appreciate real music anymore.
"The shy little Mayflower weaves her nest, But the south wind sighs o'er the fragrant loam, And betrays the path to her woodland home." Sarah Helen Whitman. TSFH have finally returned home displaying all their brilliant and incredible colours. This is absolutely magnificent and I am ready to share in their epic Mayflower adventure!
Wow @TwoStepsFromHell This music speaks to me and moves me in ways that words cannot describe. (in fact all of Thomas Bergersen's music) I've always known that I couldn't live without music, but this... this made me realise that every cell in my body thrives off of music. These 44 mins made me realise what music can do to a person. If this piece of music had this effect on me, I wonder what effect it and other's similar to it would have on the billions of people in this world... Mr.Thomas Bergersen, you have one magnificent soul and mind and I aspire to produce music like yours; the type of music that moves you not just mentally but also emotionally and physically. Love, light and peace to all reading this. Xx
Thomas for me you are the best, in every pieces! The God of music.... The composer... This is not only a masterpiece! I think that the geniuses of the past would remain enraptured!! step 30.13 is my favorite, your signature! I could recognize your pieces among a thousand others!! 42.24.... I could rewind this point at least a hundred times.
I hear a lot of John Williams inspiration in this. But Thomas has made the style his own, proving he can adapt to any style. Its amazing. It has he flavor of free sailing themes from Jaws and a hint at the old adventure serials. Very uplifting . . makes me want ot have an adventure.
There is something wonderful in the title Quien Eres Tu. I looked up the meaning, which is 'who are you?' in Spanish. Not only are these songs beautiful and relaxing, but they provide an amazing escape to the imagination. I can just see a Spanish pirate meeting the one seeking the American dream and asking that very question while holding said person at swordpoint.
5:10 - 5:35 is one of my best part. Gives me a feeling of determination or that feeling when you stand on a cliff to see the whole world. It's so fascinating!
I'm joining the exciment of this awesome Thomas' job & great TSFH step. The feeling of the "American Dream" is real & still alive. People trust & hope a better life, everyone deserves one, and as a human being, you only need courage, passion & will. Present times are heavy, savage & even painful... As I'm from a country with these dreams, seeing people leaving their home to reach there... It's poetic & fascinating (eventhrough, sample of unequality...). So, TSFH deserves, at least, being appreciate all around the world, in much languages.... *¡Gracias TSFH por darnos experiencias, sentimientos y emociones ansiadas en la vida. Los sueños son reales y uds son prueba de ello!*
Man, what a piece of music. Love to see and hear this performed. Has that same richness of sound and intelligence that Korngold and Hansen had. You'd really need a competent orchestra to make this work. You can tell the orchestra likes this. It's all in 4/4 time. Wow!
Personally, I don't think it needs a movie. The music is enough to send me on a journey. But I agree that the score does sound like that of what a movie would use.
An earthquake in the Force i Felt, too awesome this is . Thank you Thomas. Purchased immediately without listening, no need, i just feel it will be great. Just listen to it : it really is amazing !!
Thomas, from the bottom of my heart, and with every facet of my being: thank you for this; I greatly appreciate your work. It has changed my life in more ways than one.
While listening, I felt like I was in a theme park, like I was experiencing the enormous and epic dream that America has to offer first hand :') And I teared up.

Im 23 too man I discovered TSFH about a year ago and he opened my eyes what's a great music. For a 100 years people will cheer him like we do Mozart today.

There is one more very good Komponist around us: HANS ZIMMER
Some say even the smallest spark and ember of hope can keep a dream alive and burning. If that's true, Two Steps from Hell is a freakin flamethrower.
hear hear
PREACH
You just made me chuckle, so thanks for that. Also, you're quite right.
@Jonathan Schmidt A flamethrower sounds pretty cool, but it doesn't feel right to compare TSFH with it if a smal spark can keep a dream alive. TSFH is more like the sun in that case :)
American Dream represents hope and human free sprit against tyranny. And, Thomas Bergersen captured it. Beautiful.
So cool to hear a full length classical style work from Bergersen! It proves how he has absolutely mastered his craft as a composer! The orchestration, the structure and development is top notch as always.
I'm 100% positive there are bots that thumbs down every single video on TH-cam. No one in their right mind would thumbs down this.

This is by far my favorite TSFH work. So ambitious and American in sound. Someone should make a film surrounding this music. No dialogue. Just music.
Anyway, There were times I genuinely teared up! Especially at “The American Dream”. God bless you! ♥️
You can disagree with me if you like, but it felt like it reached the American part in all of us, and I say that as someone who isn't
American.
36:04 the way, the entire Orchestra opens up. Beautiful.
40 minutes? This means that this is Bergersen's 1st Symphony. He's on the same level as the old Classical composers now.
YES! I can't wait for Bergersen's Symphony No. 2, though 😊
better than*
Well it's easier now with technology, gotta keep that in mind
This is not better than From the new world Symphony or Violin concerto-Mendelsohn, etc, but is beautiful, anyway. Also, it is his First concert. I wait his second.
Probably Thomas Bergersen is the best of our time

I don't think it's coincidence because we all can dream and Thomas music provides the best inspiration to do so. 💗💖💗
You are a freaking genius!
Mind. Blown. 🤯
The only thing I dont like about tsfh is the fans. So many of them are so retardedly basic, and this thread is proof.

Same age as you. Been an avid listener since I was like 11.

Indeed, God saith that we are two steps from hell. The antichrist is coming soon and WW3. It will be a short war.

I always love the music that comes from or inspired by the United States. So much passion and energy into each work of art.
Can't believe I slept on this for a month, what a complete musical masterpiece!
Whoever does not listen to Thomas Bergerson's music has never listened to the real magic of music yet
Like a French comment here (I _think_ ) said, this really does take you on a voyage. There are so many emotions conveyed in this, carried through the loveliest American aura, it really just makes me happy to listen to all of this despite the stuff going on in my life right now.
Even my five-month-old knows good music when she hears it. I am playing this for her and she is thrilled and mesmerized!
Somehow it touched me, my soul, my opinion, my entire being. American Dream is just a wonderfull masterpiece, because listening those tracks is like watching a really good movie.
i heard every second of this 44:14 minutes video, now i feel... so inspired, so free, so sad, so happy, so wounded but also so alive listening this, Thomas is a fancy genius
Arguably the Greatest Score ever composed.
Like If you agree.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
44 minutes de voyage dans la tête de Thomas Bergersen, magnifiques, que d'émotions
Exactement
Petit conseils les français sont minoritaires donc si tu qu'il est plus de personnes qui comprennent se que tu dit il vaut mieux l'écrire en anglais
the fun c'est vrai ahah mais je m'adresse à vous à chacun de mes commentaires
Ok si tu veux
Après tout une petite communauté de français sa fait pas de mal 😁😁😁😁
Brilliant - just wonderful. I have a 45 minute drive to work . . . guess what I listen to...
I've been a long-time listener of TSFH, and I personally think this is their best work yet. I've listened through the entire 44 minutes many times, and the end still brings tears to my eyes.
24 people without a soul definitely. This symphony is uplifting, emotional, intelligent and VERY well done. I couldn't expect less from this "Monster" composer. I think American Dream is the biggest and, as far, better works from THOMAS BERGERSEN.
I felt a disturbance in the Force, a shockwave as though the very earth was trembling...
I heard thousands upon thousands of people suddenly cried out as the tide grew ever taller...
And were suddenly in applause as the tide ebbed, leaving its masterpiece behind as a token like how waves leave behind shells, like how the ships of old left their passengers on American shores.
I heard the cries of the crowds as they begged the tide to return, to showcase even more the power of music and the stories they tell.
TSFH and Thomas are the wave, and they shall return as the tide leaves to gather together another display of power for the next showing.
Great job guys. E pluribus unum truly stands here!
I want a movie with this music soo bad!! Its truely a masterpiece. No doubts!
I feel like a movie would not do the music justice; the music is just that amazing
God bless Two Steps from Hell as it is Four Steps towards Heaven.
This music is beautiful and so inspiring, truly music to dream to. There are so many different types of music that convey so many emotions. I hear many movie scores throughout this. What a gift Thomas Bergersen to the world!
2020 anyone still listening to this great epic?
Yep, it's the most amazing symphony that ever has been written in my opinion
2021 :)
2022, and if we can agree on this I believe there’s hope for my homeland.
2023 yes
Celebrating Independence day 2023
37:09 Marks quite a change in mood. Definitely reminiscent of John Williams in how he writes brass. Very nice nod, Mr. Bergersen. Your work never ceases to amaze my ears and imagination ❤
I'm astounded that after two years this doesn't have over 10 million listens.. at least. The modern ear of the masses has surely withered so much as to not appreciate real music anymore.
This is the song that inspires me to escape home and go to America, it gave me American Dream...
The most. Wonderful. Song. Ever.
"The shy little Mayflower weaves her nest, But the south wind sighs o'er the fragrant loam, And betrays the path to her woodland home." Sarah Helen Whitman. TSFH have finally returned home displaying all their brilliant and incredible colours. This is absolutely magnificent and I am ready to share in their epic Mayflower adventure!
💗💖💗 Beautiful! 💗💖💗
Wait...count me in ^^

Let's just hope this journey won't result in the total genocide of the local population!
Bunch of stinky Puritans, nothing more. Stop romanticizing those c*nts.
Got goosebumps lul
A phenomenal album. I'm listening to it on loop while I write.
I fear he won't get the fame he deserves in his lifetime. He really deserves so much more attention.
That were the best 44 minutes in this year! Good Job Mr.Bergensen
Wow @TwoStepsFromHell
This music speaks to me and moves me in ways that words cannot describe. (in fact all of Thomas Bergersen's music)
I've always known that I couldn't live without music, but this... this made me realise that every cell in my body thrives off of music. These 44 mins made me realise what music can do to a person. If this piece of music had this effect on me, I wonder what effect it and other's similar to it would have on the billions of people in this world...
Mr.Thomas Bergersen, you have one magnificent soul and mind and I aspire to produce music like yours; the type of music that moves you not just mentally but also emotionally and physically.
Love, light and peace to all reading this. Xx
Thomas for me you are the best, in every pieces! The God of music.... The composer... This is not only a masterpiece!
I think that the geniuses of the past would remain enraptured!! step 30.13 is my favorite,
your signature! I could recognize your pieces among a thousand others!! 42.24....
I could rewind this point at least a hundred times.
from 11:12 it's like to hear Mozart progression O_O absolutely incredible! GENIUS!
Simply wondefull ...may be the Force with you ! incredible music i close my eyes and the America is front of me ..
I hear a lot of John Williams inspiration in this. But Thomas has made the style his own, proving he can adapt to any style. Its amazing. It has he flavor of free sailing themes from Jaws and a hint at the old adventure serials. Very uplifting . . makes me want ot have an adventure.
To me it sounds a lot more like Korngold tbh. He's the one Williams borrowed from heavily
Glorious, Mr. Bergersen, glorious. I love and appreciate every track you make. The joy you bring will resonate in your fans hearts forever.
And I thought Lost in Las Vegas was long...
I haven't listened to all of this yet but I've loved what I've heard so far. Nice job!
There is something wonderful in the title Quien Eres Tu. I looked up the meaning, which is 'who are you?' in Spanish. Not only are these songs beautiful and relaxing, but they provide an amazing escape to the imagination. I can just see a Spanish pirate meeting the one seeking the American dream and asking that very question while holding said person at swordpoint.
This is beyond what words can describe.
What a way to embark in a fantastic uplifting adventure!
Incredible.
Absolutely stellar composition, sir! We are all truly blessed, with the talent you share with us all.
Listening this puts a tear drop in the corner of my eye. So beautiful.
this American Dream its golden ..masterprice..woowwwwww my mind blowsss
I love this, try to make more of them....
Fells like u r in heaven ....
And the doors a big palace is opening for u....
Happy 4th 2023!
Perfect to listen to while studying history this summer
5:10 - 5:35 is one of my best part. Gives me a feeling of determination or that feeling when you stand on a cliff to see the whole world. It's so fascinating!
I literally just realized this piece was published on my birthday, this was the best birthday gift ever, and I didn't even realize it
THIS IS THE GREATEST CLASSICAL TONE POEM OF THIS CENTURY!
Here in the USA we will be Celebrating our Independence Day soon. This album is a must, it truly captures the American Spirit.
I'm joining the exciment of this awesome Thomas' job & great TSFH step. The feeling of the "American Dream" is real & still alive. People trust & hope a better life, everyone deserves one, and as a human being, you only need courage, passion & will. Present times are heavy, savage & even painful... As I'm from a country with these dreams, seeing people leaving their home to reach there... It's poetic & fascinating (eventhrough, sample of unequality...).
So, TSFH deserves, at least, being appreciate all around the world, in much languages....
*¡Gracias TSFH por darnos experiencias, sentimientos y emociones ansiadas en la vida. Los sueños son reales y uds son prueba de ello!*
So TSFH has made a symphony, awesome!
What a truly amazing piece of music. I seriously hope Thomas does more Suites
Man, what a piece of music. Love to see and hear this performed. Has that same richness of sound and intelligence that Korngold and Hansen had. You'd really need a competent orchestra to make this work. You can tell the orchestra likes this. It's all in 4/4 time. Wow!
im 15 and love your music!!! i listen these when i draw it gives me inspiration!! thumbs up for me im young =)
Thanks TSFH for great emotion !!!
God bless America !!!
Why bless a rotting, uncivilized, putrid mess lacking in real character or morals?
I love Taking the Helm
Yes but it's kinda too short
@@bruhlord7205 this song needs to be ONE LIFE long
Same
I get goosebumps everytime it starts, even when I know it's coming!!
Who else think that this album can have a movie about this
The music is super ingenious for a movie. Such high quality content. I agree
@@c.s.oneill2079 to me, it seem the inspiration came from the animated film "an american tail" from Don Bluth.
It would fit perfect with an American Tale remake
Personally, I don't think it needs a movie. The music is enough to send me on a journey. But I agree that the score does sound like that of what a movie would use.
The first symphony and its better then the old symphonys.
That is Thomas!
So good
I'd like to say...
Thank you.
Thank you for all this amazing music TSFH. Keep it up.
Lord Shaxx of the Vlka Fenryka Vlka Fenryka, I have my 1st legion eyes on you...
Oh, Stop it cousin, Just enjoy this mastrecrafed piece of art.
Lord Shaxx of the Vlka Fenryka very well
We all dream of what we could be, but most never reach this. Still reaching. Such beautiful music!
I Have no idea why you don't score movies....Dude you are one of the best composer of your generation
Ugh I love America and Thomas Bergerson.
Taking The Helm, absolutely my favourite
Bergersen's First Symphony, a triumph indeed! We can only wait with bated breaths for his next two masterpieces.
I needed epic music today. Thanks. 🙌
Carmen María Black i need it every day
Thomas, you keep out doing yourself. This is amazing! This is the kind of sweeping music I LOVE to listen to.
An earthquake in the Force i Felt, too awesome this is . Thank you Thomas. Purchased immediately without listening, no need, i just feel it will be great.
Just listen to it : it really is amazing !!
Amazing, it is
So right you are ;)
Avada Kedavra
Thomas, from the bottom of my heart, and with every facet of my being: thank you for this; I greatly appreciate your work. It has changed my life in more ways than one.
While listening, I felt like I was in a theme park, like I was experiencing the enormous and epic dream that America has to offer first hand :') And I teared up.
I'm getting hefty Aaron Copland vibes. This is absolutely fabulous.
