+IndoChannelKhanRP I can't decide whether to love or hate (but not really) Mr.'s Speilberg and Williams for that movie and that score. Especially if I realize,"I have to take a shower" or "I have to run to the bathroom". That's worse because there's not a whole lot of choice in the matter. Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) was so right when he said, "It's all psychological." And it is. Properly, sharks cannot fit into bathtubs, or shower drains. Nor will they come up through toilet plumbing. But rational thought and sharks don't go together. You hear the word SHARK along with that music and it's all primal.
Giant Giant I generally shower but I can't get near a body of water for a good hour after hearing that score. And I'm scared to death of drinking anything (iced tea, pop, Frappucino, whatever) during the flic, for fear I'll have to go to the bathroom. Mayor Vaughn was right, it IS psychological! That score goes to the very core of fear. Even people who never saw the movie would jump at a certain point in the main theme. I remember one Jaws doc where someone said that if he played the music in a gazeebo on a beach, there'd be a mass exodus out of the water.
Unfortunately the year I saw this, I was holidaying with my grandmother who lives by the sea. So that was a summer spent swimming in the bath tub :P Didn't help that there was an actual shark sighted in the bay on the other side of the peninsular!
As the song begins, the surface of the ocean begins to break, revealing a large dorsal fin of a monstrous Great White Shark. The beast finds a young girl swimming in the early hours of the morning, the girl begins to struggle & screaming at the top of her lungs. She tries to shake herself free of the monster's gaping maw but to no avail. The shark drags her under as the ocean turns red. June the 28th of 19 hundred & 75
People generally assume that the JAWS theme is a simple two-note tune, but this is quite a layered piece with a lot of complexities going on throughout.
This man is just brilliant, a musical genius.. period. Thank you Mr Williams for making movies so memorable, without your music they just would not exist..❤️
@@p0dkk39 Yes bro, different. You're telling me that Jaws, Superman, star wars, Jurassic park and every other amazing tune written by him sounds the same?
Oh come on people, don’t get yourselves in a lot of trouble, you can get arrested for doing something awful like that, just warning you for your safety.
I remember being obsessed with Jaws when I was in the 6th grade, and watching this and being amazed that the music is just so powerful and full of fear when you think that sharks are dangerous, I still think Jaws is amazing 👏 John Williams is a legend who does a amazing job at orchestras for the most recognized movies ever!✨️
menslady125 And there's some shark poachers that liked. You can't take that out of the picture either. Most shark poachers were influenced by this movie.
The musical score of Jaws is so incredible, and it plays such a big part in the movie. The music starts slow, and it increases in intensity as you can suspect that the shark is nearby or approaching. The eerie music mixed with the camerawork is tension and suspense at its finest. Jaws is as one of the very few movies where the music alone can scare the audience, and no other movie really does that quite as well
How can 420 people dislike this... it's John Williams, live, conducting JAWS with the Boston pops.... what's NOT to like.... what the hell is wrong with people out there!
There is omly ONE way to fully appreciate JAWS, you have to see it in a theater. Watching it on tv doesn't do it justice. I saw it when it came out in1975 and to those of you who were not alive back then, people did not go in the water, that's how much fear gripped everyone. It was a game changer.
The audience reaction to hearing one note is testimony to the immediate identification people have with Williams' theme for Jaws. A simple two note intro conveys a feeling of impending danger. Brilliant composer of memorable scores like Superman, Schindler's List, Indiana Jones films, Star Wars and more.
Isn't it incredible that a bunch of human beings playing compatible instruments in unison can make the human brain feel such intense emotions? This gave me goosebumps in all sorts of ways
Why did the crowd laugh ? 1st & 2 notes bought a tear to the eye. To hear this live would be gold. And Spielberg laughed when he 1st heard it. The most recognizable movie score ever made. Would be even better to hear it played on Martha's Vineyard for the JAWS 50th Anniversary. JAWS Rulz.🦈🦈🦈
This movie sucks and is causing an unbearably horrible impact on the environment I think the only person on earth who would like this movie is a psychopath.
I am totally in love with Jaws, especially the main theme that they play here. This might sound crazy to some people, but I have seen this movie 43 times so far! It's one of those films that I can watch over and over again without getting bored. This amazing music is a huge reason why! The number of times I watch it during a year varies, but I always watch it on the 4th of July.
I never really thought before how well the theme captures the idea of a killer shark - it's ominous and aggressive but also machine-like and impersonal - the shark isn't evil or malicious, it's just a predator doing what predators do.
IT was Never the Damn Shark it was the Song playing in your head while you was in the WATER ..STILL SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF ME BUT NO ONE CAN TOUCH THIS MAN FOR THE GREATEST MUSIC FOR CINEMA
Richard Martin Agreed, we should try watching a blockbuster that had only the visuals and the narative....no sound track....it would be literally HALF a movie !!
I feel like a huge amount of why this score is awesome is how it builds. It starts out simple, two notes. Then it slowly but surely adds new themes and parts in eventually building to a crescendo. But underneath it all is the same two notes driving the piece forward. In that way, I think it was perfect for the nature of the shark they portrayed, that of a creature that thrives in a habitat that no human could survive very long in. And once you enter that habitat, it's only a matter of time until it gets you. In a way, the music reflects the mounting sense of panic and desperation as the protagonists are slowly but surely stripped of all ideas, and then weapons. Finally, at the climax, there is nothing left, but one man desperately clinging to the mast of a sinking ship, shooting and praying that he might be granted a miracle to defeat the monster that has plagued him and his town.
With each note of the six double basses and with each beat of the percussion I relived every second of emotion from that distant year of 1975 when I saw the film on the edge of the cinema seat ... 45 years ago!
you Americans have skills in all things, amazing. the movie was shown here in Brazil in 1981, I don't remember but the song reminds me of my childhood. God bless you all
People laughing because from that one note, the piece was immediately recognisable. I’ve seen the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic play John Williams scores live and the same thing happened. People were waiting for this piece and you could feel the excitement in the room. It was fantastic.
That was nervous laughter from the audience at the start. I always get a feeling of cold sea water up to my neck when I listen to this. I watched this movie on its first outing in London UK. And people just went crazy in the auditorium. Actually on the edge of their seats with hands over eyes. At the end they stood up and cheered! You dont see that level of enthusiasm these days and the amazing score played a big part in the films success.
Sir John Williams showed how only two notes can create terror and phobia in your mind ! It's just a matter of E n F or F and F# . HUGE RESPECT from INDIA 🇮🇳 ...
i worked in an insanely busy NYC ER as a nurse before during and after our ghoulish first wave of covid. there is no song than this that better describes what working in march-april 2020 truly felt like. and for that i am permanently grateful to john williams
I was a Child when I saw this movie. I used to love swimming in the sea. Guess what happened when I saw Jaws for the first time? I was so scared. My mom had to reasure me :" no their are no white shark i. The mediteranean see". This movie touch your instinct and your primal fear. A great movie and the genius of John Williams to creat a music that fit so well to the situation. Un chef d œuvre, merci Monsieur John Williams.
One of my all-time favorite movies, and, yes, it's very scary in places, but I love the actors--all of them--especially the three guys on the boat, and how those three guys especially put their own wit into the dialogue. And the music. It's great fun to see all those instruments playing the music I'm used to hearing in the movie or on CD. JAWS was the first John Williams OST I bought and it remains one of my favorites of his scores, just as JAWS is one of my favorites of Spielberg's movies.
The Jaws theme still chills my spine - even without the movie showing up! And I can still see that shark swimming (or stalking) through the orchestra pit!
You know you've made an awesome theme song when only the first note is played, and people instantly figured out what it is.
Haha yea
***** mean?
Chuck Norris I'd Say The Jaws Theme & Jurassic Park Theme That Williams Did Are Known Worldwide For The Most Part...Haha

Pure genius.
There's quite a few notes after the first 2. The piece definitely needed more LOL.
Actually written by Antonin Dvorak - Symphony no 9, final movement.

@@englishrose47 right
And people never looked at the sea in the same way again .
You are correct. I have not been swimming in the ocean since.

“You’re laughing. They’re playing the intro to the most terrifying piece of movie music ever made and you’re laughing.”
It is just the nervous and spasmodic laughter caused by the terrifying fear of the unknown !!
They're laughing because it's so iconic and instantly recognizable. Two notes.
Yeah, stupid people
My thoughts exactly this song gives me chills!
I agree why are they laughing

I love how Steven Spielberg thought that John was messing with him when he first heard those two notes. Now its apart of the main stream culture

very very cute and funny
You just made me laugh at 1 a.m.
OMG YOUR COMMENT HAD ME ROFL SERIOUSLY!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰 LOVED IT!
Orchestral members are friends not food lmao

Never gets old. Those first two notes.............classic
You're right
Yes, actually classic. From the year 1893: th-cam.com/video/9il0gLyLTPo/w-d-xo.html
If one were playing Name that Tune, this is probably the piece of music guessable in the least amount of notes.
This tune gives me chills every time
I love the feeling of that
And sweaty palms and heart palpitations, lol
Still is scary.

"Jaws" is anything BUT simple. Mr. Williams is a wonderful composer!
Much like the great white shark...
As with many great songs, the foundation is simple, but Williams always had the skill to build a palace on that foundation.
The shark theme was the two note tune.
Its the amity theme mixed up in it too

Not me...saw the movie and the next day went straight to the beach
Hey Shaun?
I'm sorry.
It's ok to get back in the water.... I promise.
My son would go swimming even after watching jaws like 5 times!

Different? You sure about that?
@@p0dkk39 Yes bro, different. You're telling me that Jaws, Superman, star wars, Jurassic park and every other amazing tune written by him sounds the same?
John Williams escreve músicas cientificamente . Tudo que está ali na partitura tem uma razão de estar exactamente ali .
Yes. He and Errico Morricone!
He borrowed heavily from many famous pieces of classical music btw.
Its because of this song I was terrified of the ocean as a child.
I was terrified BEFORE ever going into the ocean - if I can't see bottom, I ain't goin' in!!
I loved the two kids with the fake shark fin. "He made me do it"
2020 and I still am.
MY MOM SAID TO ME THAT WHEN JAWS MOVIE CAME TO PUERTO RICO.THE BEACHES WHERE EMPTY FOR A WHILE.NOW U KNW THAT WAS A BIG HIT!SPECTACULAR THEME!
For quite long this theme came into my mind as soon as I was swimming where I could not see the bottom although it was in lakes. Outstanding theme
I think I'll play this on a boombox real loud at the beach next time LOL.
Ivestor1 LOL IM GOING TO FLORIDA TOMORROW SHOULD I DO IT?
Lol !
Oh come on people, don’t get yourselves in a lot of trouble, you can get arrested for doing something awful like that, just warning you for your safety.
I'd love to see someone do this up here in cape cod this summer. We already have the great whites. All we need is their theme song!!!
Boy George And Culture Club would be worth it
Still the most terrifying and most atmospheric music score ever composed. Williams won a well-deserved Oscar for this!
This is epic, serious goosebumps
Amazing
the truth in what you said gave me goosebumps and a grip in my belly
Of everything John Williams ever composed, IMO this is his signature piece
Totally agree! It's just pure genius. I love the movie Jaws anyway...but the music score is unbelievable. It puts you in the water with the victims.
Yes please stay awake.. the great are wife dangerius
If I had just 1% of the talent that John Williams has, I would be phenomenal.
I remember being obsessed with Jaws when I was in the 6th grade, and watching this and being amazed that the music is just so powerful and full of fear when you think that sharks are dangerous, I still think Jaws is amazing 👏
John Williams is a legend who does a amazing job at orchestras for the most recognized movies ever!✨️
Never a more appropriate theme song has ever been scored. It still gives me the feeling of deep-water fear.

How can 420 people dislike this... it's John Williams, live, conducting JAWS with the Boston pops.... what's NOT to like.... what the hell is wrong with people out there!
It’s not that they actually dislike it- it just scares the bejesus out of them.
It's what happens when great whites get smartphones
It's surprising, that the first 2 notes can tell you what the piece is.
People picked it up on the first note, listen for the laughter after the first note is played. The Jaws music was iconic from the day it was released.
Oh I know this theme can be figured out just by the first note, but I was generalizing with 2 notes with most music.

Brilliant composer of memorable scores like Superman, Schindler's List, Indiana Jones films, Star Wars and more.

same
bill hayes , me too .
The intensity of that music is sheer genius. The music is 60% of the movie
John Williams is a true GENIUS
It's one thing to make an iconic and memorable piece of music but to basically make a theme for an animal or situation is a whole new level.
This literally brought tears to my eyes. You can follow the happenings of the entire movie just by listening to this score!!
I love the way John Williams gives a bite gesture with his hands at the audience at the end of it...
The two most haunting notes ever played.

Summer of ‘75. I was 11 years old and my mom took me to see Jaws. Absolutely loved it! But when I got home I was scared to look our fish tank😂😂
One note. That's all it took. Instant chills.
Never has a piece of music evoked so much fear... Especially if you were THERE in 1975 when it was on the big screen.
I love how a couple of the people playing even break out a smile with people's reactions 😁🦈💙🦈
Every single time I hear the first note I can picture a shark coming at me. The best theme ever!
Just like a certain scent, a sound can bring back memories!!!
Paminlp Symphonic music can really make you feel and see things in such a strong way!

It's hard to believe Jaws came out 45 years ago. What a great theme song this is. You can just feel the danger of a predator coming for you.
Every Movie theme written by John Williams is Brilliant and Perfect for that film! A Master at his craft and sets the mood for the whole movie!
Superb!! Even though its horror for the people in the water of course. 🤓 Used to watch this as a child over and ovar again on the video cassette.
