I watched Field of Dreams last night again. I cannot watch it without crying but it isn't only because of the storyline, it's mostly because of the music. Mr. Horner wrote a score that literally gives us a glimpse of heaven. Who wouldn't cry if you sensed the Divine that was near enough to feel but not close enough to touch. The one constant isn't baseball, although I love the game. The one constant is Jesus, who died and rose again and is sitting at the right hand of God preparing a place for us. "In My Father's house there are many rooms," He said. "I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you with me that you also may be where I am." In my minds eye and in my heart, I can picture Jesus as He finally takes my hand and welcomes me into His kingdom all the while hearing this soundtrack and knowing I have finally arrived at The Place Where Dreams Come True.
Thinking of 🕊Mathew Perry 🕊while listening to this beautiful piece of music, looking up to the sky in my garden.. Feels like the world lost a very Special Friend today.. Fly high & thanks for the memories..May you forever rest in peace & live on in eternal laughter 🕊💙🙏
Shortly after my Dad died in 2004, my Mum and I travelled to London for a few days. I went into the Virgin Megastore near Piccadilly Circus, and bought a load of CDs, amongst them this one. On returning home, of all the tracks on the CD, this track really hit home and I played it over and over again. I felt that it was so comforting, and somehow helped me get through my bereavement.
This film is perfect. A Magical score by Horner. I walked down the aisle to my husband at 5:05 and it will forever be the most perfect spot of music I will ever hear. My real place here dreams are made of ❤️
One of the greatest films ever made and a score that is gorgeous; 5:05 is sublime - like looking into the heavens and seeing every star on a dark night. This film is a tribute to two of the greatest gifts God has given most of us: Dads and Baseball. When I hear this piece I remember the greatest man I have ever known. I miss you, Dad.
You really get it. No one is ever completely lost to us. Our grief is the false belief that we cannot redeem the past. Of course we can. We can redeem ourselves through our own presence with our children. You got it.
Horner (RIP) was one of the masters of making music to fit the mood exactly. Quite a few of the very moving parts of this scene have been mentioned in these comments. But the part that always makes me weep like a baby is when the haunting minor keyboard chords kick in at 6:12 just when Ray asks John, "Is there a heaven?" And when his father responds, "Oh yeah. It's the place where dreams come true", the music builds to a crescendo as Ray looks over at at his family and decides that "Maybe this is heaven."
An unlikely cult classic. But with a score of this caliber, it makes perfect sense and couldn't be any other way. Elements such as these elevate films from potential mediocrity to something timeless and cathartic. An ethereal, gentle, and at times chilling score. A favorite.
"And they'll walk out to the bleachers, and sit in shirt-sleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game, and it'll be as if they'd dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick, they'll have to brush them away from their faces".
I keep coming back to listen to this. It's been months now. Simply one of the most stirring, powerful compositions out there. It wakes up emotions and memories in me for which there are no words. Thank you, James Horner, for using your talent so greatly!
Ryan, I hear you. I’m 62 and my dad died 8 years ago. I can still remember all of those wonderful times when he and I went out and played catch. In fact, it means more to me now than it did then. With two sons of my own, I see how important that time with my dad really was.
Man. The Golden Era of movie scores really was about 1982-1999. John Williams and James Horner at their peak and before Hans Zimmer started having every score sound like an imitation of Inception.
Watching the MLB Field of Dreams game between the Yankee and the White Sox and thought of James Horner's majestic score of the original movie. Brought me to tears. He also scored Titanic among so many others. One of the greatest composers of all-time. Died unexpectedly in a plane crash many years ago.
We saw him conduct a live orchestra for Titanic the movie at the Albert Hall in London. James Cameron was there too and came on stage afterwards to congratulate him. It wasn't long after that that he tragically died. Such a loss to the world :(
I heard this on a classical radio station this afternoon and had to pull over so I could thoroughly enjoy where it was taking me. So many layers. A masterpiece.
This is one of my all-time favourite movies, and yet I don't even like baseball. It had Costner in his golden period of film making, and Burt Lancaster nearing the end of both his career and life. All wrapped up in a movie about love, loss, sacrifice, anger and redemption. And it's finished off with a magnificent score by the one and only James Horner.
The music cue when the scene transitions to show just the sunset above the corn, before Ray and John even come on screen, is enough to get the tears going. It's incredible
Is this Heaven? It's Iowa. Iowa? I could have sworn this was Heaven. Is there a Heaven? Oh yeah. It's the place where Dreams Come True. Maybe This is Heaven.
The theme reminds of me of a "Neverland" story(Peter Pan). Just like heaven, it's so beautiful and realistically ethereal. Makes you believe that there really is an afterlife that we are all bound to go to someday. Reminds me so much of my father. I know his good and gentle soul is in heaven. May he rest in peace
I've never seen this movie, but it happened to be on TV a few weeks ago. And I noticed the melody that starts at 3:33 and recognized it. I actually played this in high school marching band my senior year! I loved that particular piece and had no idea where it came from, now I know!
I suspect that in your lifetime, it will come to mean much, much more. I’m a female, estranged from my 84 yr old father for more than 33 years (his choice, divorced my whole family), yet it still strikes a chord with me I guess I’m still hoping for a reunion somehow, someday.
Questa sera, nel buio del mio terrazzo, che guarda al mio paesino ancora addormentato, sento la mia testa leggera. Oscilla al suono lieve del vento che muove gli alberi, al fruscio inpercettibile delle stelle sul soffitto. Lascio che vaghi, lascio che perda l'equilibrio. Guardando la luna sento lieve una carezza sulla pelle. Immagino le persone ancora in ferie, immagino le loro case vuote. Mi sento come quelle mura, dove dentro vi è silenzio e buio. È come se fossi rimasta solo io, ad aspettare qualcosa che adesso è lontano. Mi sembra di avvertire una flebile voce che mi chiama, non so da dove viene, ma riconosco il suo suono. Aspiro un tiro profondo dalla mia sigaretta che sembra accendere un fuoco che arde. La notte tutta in torno fa brillare il cielo, ad un tratto la pelle d'oca. E se fossi il sogno di qualcuno che mi sta sognando? Magari sono solo perduta dentro a questo strano pensiero che qualcun'altro sta facendo. Un aereo in lontananza disegna una scia, mentre tra gli alberi sento una civetta scandire il tempo. Oh vita, perché non ti afferro? Perché sei tu che mi muovi? Non ho forza sulle gambe, non riesco ha disincantarmi da questo oblio. Penso a dei volti, a quelli che ho amato di più e inevitabilmente comicio a piangere. Adesso vorrei trovarmi in mezzo ad un campo di panocchie, lontanissimo da qui. Vorrei trovarmi nel buio assoluto di un campo coltivato per poter parlare con Dio senza che nessuno mi senta. Vorrei trovare la pace, magari morire per vedere dall'alto tutto quello che voi umani chiamate "realtà". I piedi non toccano più il pavimento, vedo cadere giù solo qualche piuma. Le mie ali si stanno aprendo, il volo non sarà difficile. Gesù mio lasciami cadere, trasforma i miei piedi in piombo, non voglio lontano mio figlio. Gesù ti prego, salva questa mia anima lamentosa. Un auto, due fari, qualcuno scende dall'auto e parla al telefono. Sono tornata, adesso sono qui. Adesso. Solamente ora rivedo il mondo per come lo conoscevo. Sono qui.
Still one of the most Heartfelt & moving movie musical scores of All Time! I will Always consider this one of the Best in portraying heartfelt emotion in a movie. Very well done.
Tell you what, I've gotten back into 'Our Town'. As good as Copland's score was, this would work easily as well behind that masterpiece of the glorious timeless worth of ordinary America.
A magical theme for a magical film,if there were only fields like this we could go to it makes me want to see my brother again ,taken from us at 18 yrs old when i was 14 ,some 42 years ago If only ! now that would be heaven A very comforting film ,one of my top 3 favourites and drawn back to watch it over and over The meeting of Moonlight Doc Graham in a midnight street ,years after his death is enough to stir the imagination, of what that encounter would feel like in reality ,then as a young man at the side of the road ,the fact Shoeless Joe knew whom he was without asking ,then back to old Doc to help Ray's daughter ,then he has to leave but fulfilled his dream 9:06 " HEY ROOKIE YOU WERE GOOD " Class ,rarely encountered in today's films 🎥- magic

im not religious but i liked your comment because it was raw and honest and not preachy somehow.

James Horner is the Master of Making Music that can make even the coldest men cry.
Godspeed Sir.

and whoever cued the girl laughing at that moment is a genius. Family=Heaven.
This is one of the most emotive, beautiful pieces of film scoring ever. RIP James Horner.
The loss of Horner is incalculable!:'(
Wonderful as the soundtracks of our Ennio Morricone 🥺🤗
@@justin8591 Amen. both persons were great.
@@justin8591agreed about Ennio Morricone
Too many to list, I believe Once Upon a Time in the West was his masterpiece
Field of Dreams is probably my favorite movie. With a different score, I'm not even sure it would be in my top 100. Well done, Sir James Horner.
When you miss your dad.......this hits right in the guts.....wish I had more time with you dad..........RIP.
An unlikely cult classic.
But with a score of this caliber, it makes perfect sense and couldn't be any other way. Elements such as these elevate films from potential mediocrity to something timeless and cathartic.
An ethereal, gentle, and at times chilling score. A favorite.
i have listened to this a thousand times. and will listen a thousand more. so wonderful...
metoo
AMEN!
That transition at 3:22 always gets me. So heart-wrenchingly beautiful.

They'll hand over the money without even thinking about it. For it is money they have and peace they like.
I keep coming back to listen to this. It's been months now. Simply one of the most stirring, powerful compositions out there. It wakes up emotions and memories in me for which there are no words. Thank you, James Horner, for using your talent so greatly!
Brings me back to a time where I could just go out and throw the ball around with my dad, such a simple act yet so important.
Before this movie who knew throwing a baseball with your son would be like saying, Dad I love you, I love you too son.
Ryan, I hear you. I’m 62 and my dad died 8 years ago. I can still remember all of those wonderful times when he and I went out and played catch. In fact, it means more to me now than it did then. With two sons of my own, I see how important that time with my dad really was.
Man. The Golden Era of movie scores really was about 1982-1999. John Williams and James Horner at their peak and before Hans Zimmer started having every score sound like an imitation of Inception.
A time when cinema had timeless music scores, which took you to another place.
Hayden Wittig 👍👍👍

“Glory” is my James Horner favorite
“Once Upon a Time in the West” by Ennio Morricone is my all time favorite in soundtracks
And also Kevin Costner himself appears from the Cornfield
This week the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds at Field of Dreams
Cubs and Cincinnati Reds this week
Thursday I believe

Very well put. They sure don't make them like this anymore.
You don't like baseball!
No Ray, it was you.
😭😭😭
This song and Ray asking his dad for some catch. 😢 Every single time! My favorite movie, my favorite scene.
The music cue when the scene transitions to show just the sunset above the corn, before Ray and John even come on screen, is enough to get the tears going. It's incredible
6:55 Ray: "Hey, Dad? You want to have a catch?"
John: "I'd like that."
8:25 the whistle in the end always gives me the chills
Only rediscovered this today. More resonant than ever before. Godspeed James Horner
One of my all time favorites. Takes me back to being a kid, mom and dad. "Are you Moonlight Graham?"
Is this Heaven?
It's Iowa.
Iowa? I could have sworn this was Heaven.
Is there a Heaven?
Oh yeah. It's the place where Dreams Come True.
Maybe This is Heaven.
Although we cannot believe James Horner has gone, we do believe he was made a legend. RIP Jimmy!
The theme reminds of me of a "Neverland" story(Peter Pan). Just like heaven, it's so beautiful and realistically ethereal. Makes you believe that there really is an afterlife that we are all bound to go to someday. Reminds me so much of my father. I know his good and gentle soul is in heaven. May he rest in peace
Makes me think of my father...sad we lost him when I was young.
Me, too. And, my dad was from Iowa.
"Well maybe this is heaven."
The whole score is soothingly wonderful !
Makes me miss my dad. Reminds me to grab a glove next time I visit home. Can't remember the last time we played catch.
"No Ray, it was you.."
Someday I'll have that game of catch with my 'ol man and hopefully my son will be there to. God bless.
"Daddy there's a man out there on your lawn.."
"It will be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters..."
The read that in his voice. Such an amazing film and Score.
This music is amazing. You can feel the heart of the man in every note.
@@michaelcarl5130 exactly!
Astounding to listen to, breath taking, depth, movement, enchanting.
" Is...is there a Heaven?" "Oh yeah, it's the place dreams come true."

Top class movie, script, actors, soundtrack.
Great movie and a beautiful soundtrack.
Miss my dad so much. We played many games of catch before I lost him. Died on my 12th birthday to cancer.
RIP, Ray Liotta.
Possibly the best film music cue ever.
So long ray liotta is this heaven you are my friend goodbye

RIP Ray Liotta and Vin Scully!✝️
I only wish that I had the opportunity to play catch with my dad.
Maybe one day I may still have that opportunity.
Beautiful beautiful music
FOR ALL THE PARENTS WITH LOVE AND RESPECT
James Horner u are God inspired or by the heavens when you write and conduct ur music

Che Meravigliaaa
Alan silvestri bows to the man who made this.
Lindo!!! Amo esse filme
Last movie for Burt Lancaster. 😢 🙏🌈❤️☮️🙌🥦
Beautiful
And the simple point is again being able to play catch with your dad...
Does anybody here know whether any Field of Dreams music might be available on a fair-use basis for a podcast?
Good movie too n ghosts or hosts love the say of the f a d to
Daddy there is man on your lawn
A magical theme for a magical film,if there were only fields like this we could go to it makes me want to see my brother again ,taken from us at 18 yrs old when i was 14 ,some 42 years ago
If only ! now that would be heaven
A very comforting film ,one of my top 3 favourites and drawn back to watch it over and over
The meeting of Moonlight Doc Graham in a midnight street ,years after his death is enough to stir the imagination, of what that encounter would feel like in reality ,then as a young man at the side of the road ,the fact Shoeless Joe knew whom he was without asking ,then back to old Doc to help Ray's daughter ,then he has to leave but fulfilled his dream 9:06
" HEY ROOKIE YOU WERE GOOD "
Class ,rarely encountered in today's films 🎥- magic
Pujols 700. :)
Best since Bernard hermann
My vote for GOAT goes to Jerry, who influenced Horner tremendously. All three are among the ten best ever (if not top five).
Ease his pain
Its Iowa
