Speech at the end of Platoon
"Those of us who did make it have an obligation to build again, to teach to others what we know, and to try with what's left of our lives to find a goodness and a meaning to this life."
@@apollomann9540 Obviously, this was the best, and hard to top . . .
Platoon first I heard this haunting music and through the dance era and it still can't stop the emotion it gives
Makes me shiver and piss my pants
Thts what pieces of music should do
Xxc
Amen
Having it used in my funeral video. The movie about one of my units, 3/22 from 25 Inf. Div. when I was in Vietnam in 1968.
Kauniisti sanottu, kunpa näin tapahtuisi.
The way I hear this piece of music as a Veteran of 3 wars.
The first portion. Going to war. The uncertainty and chaos.
The second portion of intermittent climaxes. The war itself. The rage, sorrow, fear, and confusion.
The climax. Your war is over. The joy that you survived, but the emptiness, feelings of regret and overwhelming depression that war bestowed upon you.
Truly a beautiful piece of music that I can identify with.
« La bonne musique ne se trompe pas, et va droit au fond de l’âme chercher le chagrin qui nous dévore. »
-"Good music is not mistaken, and goes straight to the bottom of the soul to seek the sorrow that devours us. »
Stendhal .
May God have mercy upon us and our enemy and forgave our sins
May our war be over in our hearts.
Thank you for your service, and bless you
Much love and thanks veteran,now the peace and grace that only Jesus the christ can bring be upon u today and forever...
The platoon scene just replays in my head along the music. Such a powerful scene still remembering it after 40 years
I bet the song makes you weep so much.
I’ve never seen platoon
It must have been an absolute privilege to watch/listen this without the commercials
The depth of sorrow in this music is immeasurable, and beyond description
Olen kanssasi samaa mieltä!

They played this beautiful piece of music at a 9-11 memorial service,a few days after the nightmare .each person reading the name of a lost loved one,ringing a bell.walking off stage.....not one sound,except this music, the names,the bell and the sound of hearts breaking....I will never forget..
Brings me back to Vietnam every time I hear it...49 years now...I cannot forget,
Damn, that's tough. Thank you for your service, man.
Yes, me too. 1968-1969 and 1970-1971, DaNang, Fire Base Bravo, NaTrang, Pleiku, and the Highlands. Lost some great Marines...may the forever rest in peace. I can assure everyone they will never be forgotten. A lousy War that never should have happened. We learned nothing from it..Co JCG (USMC) Retired
Thank you
Thank you sir
@@budgarr4530 thank you sir
An absolutely stunning, haunting and beautiful piece of music
agree it was key to the movie Platoon, I was blown away when I saw at the cinema, I just stayed in my seat when it ended.
Lovely song most sincere.
In my opinion, this is of the greatest pieces of music ever written!!!
it's truly up there with the best of songs
"one"?
Yes
This is one of very few pieces that can be sung by a choir, played by an orchestra and played on a pipe organ and still have that same effect on the listener.
Using the serenity, peace and beauty of Adagio to underscore the sheer violence and trauma of 'Platoon' was something bordering on genius.
RIP all who never came back from wars and kept us free by doing so. We WILL remember them.
I couldn't agree more and I love the song.
Indeed, here a choir version 🌸💕❤️: th-cam.com/video/fRL447oDId4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OhgNS_ERpX0pQ6M9
I’ve never heard of the pipe organ version. You would do so much for me if you could just link that here, please
Agnus dei, for Choir
@@angelesgarcialoyola6780 Indeed utterly haunting.
I had the version that is sung to Elgar's 'Nimrod' played for my Mother as the curtains closed at her committal. Still breaks me up.
One of the most soul-wrenching pieces I have ever had the joy to witness
Very moving piece. You can feel the sorrow, the helplessness, and the desperation of the movie in this song.
Yes the happiness, joy and the sorrow this song brings to the heart is truly heartfelt indeed
If a piece of music like this does not stir your soul, you can't possibly have one.
+leopold Absolutely. It is one of the most stirring/haunting set of strings I've heard. Simply beautiful!
I so agree....
currently 39 people don't have souls !
Si cette œuvre ne déchire pas votre âme, c'est que vous n'en avez pas❣
48 Up to now! What a misery!
Every time I listen to this it takes my breath away. I was there and saw many things that remain with me today.
Sorry to hear that you were there and had to see many dreadful things.
I do hope right now and always and forever that some kind of peace will be in your heart.
God bless you my friend
James❤️
Bless you.❤️
Thank you
you know a piece is good when it gives you goosebumps down your neck into your back
فعلا
You should listen to Pete Tong's version of this with Massive Attack's Teardrop, I tell you it's so moving 😞
@@BobWynn Peter Tongs version is very good but it's not up there with song that came out first
@@MichaelGill-qw2xu Oh absolutely agree but it's so different and still moving
@@BobWynn whenever the song is listened to.
it sends a shiver down the spine.
This adagio is just going straight into the heart & emotionel center (Where ever thats placed)
When I watched the start of "Platoon" & this was played, I got tears in my eyes.
Though I'm big & look like a biker, Im happy that I feel sad & am man Enough to admit that fact...
I am a Metal dude from Denmark, but to enjoy a piano sonate or adagio in minor, is a gift, thats priceless.
Thanx to Barber for this epic composition!!
Putting a song together is Good....composing music is Genius...
I could listen to this all day without a break. It brings body and soul together as one.
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/ruFQCyrOorY/w-d-xo.html
It's Avery lovely and beautiful movie song.❤️
Phenomenal piece of music. Similar to what someone else said on here, if this doesn't move your soul, you don't have one.
I'm carrying right now
Many people think this is a classical piece from centuries ago. It was written in 1936 and is truly a great piece of music with or without the film "Platoon."
No! This masterpiece was composed in 1938. 😉
Seriously i think that pièce IS so old tel i sée you cmnt now....absullately IS a great pièce of music in thé all History ...
@@UncleHempy was composed in 1936 and released in 1938
@@d6ni no it was composed in 1938. Read the history about it. ☝️
@@UncleHempy Barber finished the arrangement in 1936, the same year that he wrote the quartet. It was performed for the first time on November 5, 1938, by Arturo Toscanini conducting the NBC Symphony Orchestra in a radio broadcast from NBC Studio 8H.
It's mournful and somber mood makes it perfect for funerals.
The absolutely most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. Kind of makes my heart break when I think of ppl I love and lost, or suffering of things in my life. A hurt animal and of course, Sgt. Elias running from the enemy.
I'm from New York City and the anniversary of September 11th just past the other day. 22 years, and I've been doing the usual like I do around this time watching a lot of TH-cam videos of that day. I was 23 then. In my head this theme song plays as I watch 911 videos. it goes so well with the tragedy of that day. I typed up platoon themesong and this is the first video that came up. Its so beautiful. Definitely fits for the Vietnam War and the horrific day of September 11th 2001.
Much love❤️
This music gives me chills. All The young boys, Bless All of You.
Etwas man nur sehr selten zu Ohren bekommt ... Wunderschön
I totally forgot about this beautiful piece of music! My dad use to play this all the time when i was younger. He's part of the reason i fell in love with classical music.... So beautiful!
I heard this at the end of a movie I said I wouldn't watch and started to cry, I saw everything all over again
Haunting harmonies; uncluttered minimalism cutting straight to the heart. This was composed by a genius!
Yes what a wonderful piece of music and sure does reach the heart deep down inside.
Beautiful, moving piece of music.
Of course it.💟
Wow what a very very sad,but Beautiful piece.its bought tears streaming down my face remembering my Daughter whom was found deceased by the Police at Christmas time.😭😢😢😭I'm broken hearted...😢😭😢😭love you forever my dearest daughter Caroline..wow the tears XX😢😢😢
Steph boond: Sorry about your daughter.
bless u Steph ... ive no words ... ive lost all my loved ones ....take care ...try be kind to yourself
This is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard. This is the music when my coffin goes into the crematorium. You listen to it and it is about a person dying. The silence in the music means they have died and reached Heaven. After that they are floating around the after life. Close your eyes and think of nothing when you listen to this beautiful tune
❤️
A beautiful piece of music. I remember going with my husband and one of his best buddies he enlisted. My husband is dead from Agent Orange. His buddy died from suicide years ago. Ironically they both died on same day. Both Vietnam Vets
This music is about the drama of humankind.
Its actually about platoon a war movie but i think other stuff
This was played
in St. Patrick's Cathedral for Robert Kennedy's funeral June 1968
Quem assistiu ao filme Platoon provavelmente se lembra dessa belíssima música, assisti em um cinema e nunca mais esqueci o Filme e a sua trilha sonora.
6:25 gets me every time
I am in awe of Samuel Barber, how someone can create such a beautiful sad and heart rending piece of music that touches the soul is beyound me and played so beautifly with such feeling. Each time if listen to it always brings tears to my eyes. Magical.
It truly brings more than a year to my eyes and has done for awhile.❤️
When I die I would like to this music in my funeral
Beautiful, very moving piece and full of emotion. This music gives me chills. Absolutely stunning....
This piece was perfectly picked for Platoon the movie. Haunting.
This music makes me think of my dear departed sister her life and how she passed away, it makes me think of my life and all my pain of love and those I loved that I have lost, it makes me see the future pain and what is to come in the deaths die.
Greco Veritas: Sorry for your loss. You always remember your sister. There's peace on earth.
Sends a chill through my body...absolutely beautiful piece
The same as me as well as it makes the heart feel wonderful inside and warm.❤️
What a Masterpiece from an American great talent! Thank you, Samuel Barber!
Yes The Samuel Barber is a classic and up with the best songs ever written.👍
Increíble el poder de la música, tanto sentimiento que te puede entregar una canción 🥺🥺 temas como este vivirán por siempre, 2022 y aquí estamos escuchando esta hermosa melodía ❤️

How much are you willing to give to a grifter of bone spurs?
My husband came home from Vietnam.. we weren’t married yet. I was 10 years younger. He came home in one bodily piece. He survived. I always heard this piece on the radio and just thought amazingly emotional.. and gorgeous. We never saw Platoon. I apologize to all those who’s loved ones did not return. I am heartily sorry that this piece is painful.. a hurt not healing. God go with you… that’s the promise.
This music truly pierce the soul, I felt that way the first time I heard it and I feel this way even now.
I love the song❤️
I first heard this piece of beautiful music when I watched The Elephant Man I went straight out and bought the album,still moves me to tears every time I hear it.
This was also in another film, "The Elephant Man", which made six years before "Platoon".
Wow, I forgot that, The Elephant man is one of the most sensitive films ever made.
The elephant man another very sad movie.
This is beautiful. I used to cry my eyes out to this when I was very young.
Adam Stearns I first heard this one year ago in the movie Lorenzo's Oil. Still when I hear it, I think of the scene from Lorenzo's Oil and feel like crying. So sad and beautiful at the same time :)
I still cry, Adam.
I still do and I'm 81.
Just a straight up and down blues guitarist if I could get just one 1/2 % of feel into my attempts at musical feel ,well ......
Tears in my eyes, so beautiful yet so sad
One of the most touching pieces I've ever heard.
Long live to the Memory of Sgt. Elias...!!!
One of the greatest spiritually inspired beautiful pieces of music ever written that speaks directly to you soul.
The most moving piece of music, since first hearing it years ago it has always been my chosen funeral music sounds morbid but my family knows that this has always been my desire.
Essa música representa poesia em forma de música. Quem a compôs simplesmente foi inspirado divinamente.
É uma das coisas mais lindas que já ouvi na vida
That the finite mind of man can compose things of such beauty, melancholy though it be, is a profound miracle
It seems a eulogy, it is saying "farewell" to a lost loved one. Truly an emotional piece and a one- of- a- kind in the music repertoire
Yes and I certainly agree with what you have said about the song in relation to the song from platoon ❤️
Yeah, that part of the movie definitely moved me which is why this song will forever be in my playlist!
I've shed tears to this... means more than platoon... emotional in any guise
Me too.... emotional personified
Que música linda, que melodia fantástica. Sempre que ouço viajo no tempo. Encaixou perfeitamente no filme Platoon. Em tempo fui militar das forças armadas e tinha o costume de escutar essa maravilha de música na Cia. O pessoal adorava.
"The First Casualty Of War Is Innocence."
Death by chocolate, even lovely things can kill us.
É uma das coisas mais bonitas em que eu já ouvi em toda minha vida! Sua magnética na melodia, me faz chorar. Sentimento único. Obrigada !
Adagio for Strings is a beautiful and haunting melody that I love. Paul
130 dislikes? This is a brilliant piece that moves your soul ,even a deaf person would feel it just by watching ..I dont understand the dislikes but I guess some poeple dont have ears or souls .
For Folsom--they're great.
I am sorry for all these young men who had to go through the horror of war. The draftees as well as the professionals, and not just Vietnam, but also Iraq and the Balkan wars. War destroys all humanity. We are at the brink of a new war, and it will devastate us too. Because violence only begets more violence, and cruelty begets more cruelty and injustice only begets more injustice. We all become inhuman. And all victims are innocent. Nobody deserves to die in a war or to survive it and live with these memories of evil.
Barber wrote this for the boys who died during the Great War, a century ago. Back when they hoped it would be the war to end all wars.
You are right Caroline... We should stop wars buts this world is full of idiots...
truly one of the greast most heartfelt compositions ever. There is also an astounding rendition for chorus made by Barber, from Belgium.
Fit perfectly for Platoon, haunting piece.
This song has made me realize that strings actually the closest instrument that looks like a human voice after I've listened to both choir versions and string versions too many times.
please reply to my story.
The theme from platoon takes me back in time to when I first met my dear loving friend Mr Philip Luff.
so many years ago back in the year of 2003 and my friendship with Philip lasted for 18 years until he passed away so sadly in the year of 2021.
The theme song from platoon takes me back in time when I first met Philip and to the final months I lastly spent with before he passed away,
Because the song heartfelt feeling to it and does bring a year to the eye.
When he died I saw my beautiful dear friend Philip in the chapel of rest and the song from platoon brings that vision of Philip resting in peace.
This masterpiece is a cradle of sorrowful memories, and a vessel of sorrow
Thankyou for this beautiful piece .Samuel Barber must have had a beautiful mind and soul to express so much in his music here.I find it calming and peaceful.A beautifiul piece of music that touches my soul.
john dean to not touch the emotions, I think you meant.
Absolutely beautiful
We have to respect the conductor and let him come out of his zone when the piece is over. He is the captain of the ship.
Fantastic
I’ve listened to this about 30+ times in the timespan of 7 months. A super heartbreaking piece.
Why does such beautiful songs make you cry? Not just cry but hopelessly weep.
The same reason love does. It demands an emotional answer as a response. Wishing you all the best.
Incredible music. Loved it since I first heard it watching "Platoon" many years ago
my funeral song .... i have loved this for over 20 years .....its goes deep within me and make me ache ... so beautiful
May it not be played in your honor for many, many years. Be well. Semper Fi.
So hauntingly sad and so incredibly awesome!!!
Brilliant version!
It's just so beautifully performed and full of emotion :')
I dare not ask about the horrific things you saw or witnessed happened but thank ALL veterans of war or active service a humble and sincere Thank You! My opinion is we shouldn't have been there. It was a really bad war as I read in books but being there in real life, is something that sticks with you for the rest of your lives. I watched men go off to war over the years and they never come back the same.
Everyone talks about how this music was used in Platoon and so do I. But another fantastic usage that came before it was in The Elephant Man.
Beautiful piece of music x
@ 6 min mark on, this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard, brings chills and tears and relief it runs the gambit of emotions bravo!
lights out with this playing not long before the tears start to fall just to remember
Five seconds into the music I am crying. I love this piece so much and the Movie was so heart rending for me, who was born in 1955. The Vietnam War was a huge piece of my life.
This truly amazing, I have loved this for 30 years and still do!
It really does stir my soul I have heard it maybe in one hour 5 times it is realy beautiful .
Preserve our beautiful culture. 🙏
a privilege to hear such a moving piece.
Purple hearts to all those brave young men 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Musica que toca el alma con mucha emoción.
Feels like your soul is vibrating.
That's only because it was playing when one of the main characters died in Platoon. :D
Para que una película, sea exitosa. Debe de tener una música muy conmovedora que se interprete a sí mismo y a los de mas. La música es la interpretación del alma, es un vinculo entre la melodía y el alma humana que compone una realidad...
TWD.
this beautiful melody is in one of the most remarkable episodes of TWD.
To me it's the first casualty of war or violence is innocence. Perfect.
Es una pieza maravillosa, una joya musical de una excelente, magistral pelicula platoon del director Oliver Stons. Nos recuerda el cancer destructivo de la guerra. Y mucho mas para aquellos que la hemos vivido en carne propia y que hemos perdido familiares y amigos. Se me hace un nudo en mi garganta y es inevitable no llorar. Los recuerdo camaradas hasta el dia que me toque partir. Los tengo congelados en mi memoria. Hoy tengo 56 años y los recuerdo con sus edades de 14, 15, 16, 17,18,19 años de edad que la guerra les arranco. Hasta siempre hermanos.
While I was listening to this song my mom called me and told that our friend died. God works in mysterious ways...
Thís touches me
