I took my father to see this film on Father's Day, 1989. It was a few weeks after one of the most vicious arguments we ever had. I said something so awful to him that day that I still haven't forgiven myself for. But we made peace after seeing this film, and agreed never to argue that way again. I lost him a little less than three years later and have been grieving him in my way ever since.
I lost my father this year. He was 93 years old. I didn't see him for 10 years. Then two months before he died I finally visited him. I couldn't stop listening to this wonderful score for several days.
Lost mine 9-11-08, we hadn't spoke for years for what, I still don't know. We finally reconnected and his health was declining, I was his companion/caretaker the last six years of his life. Later we learned he had cancer and two weeks to live, he passed two weeks later down to the minute. We didn't get much sleep in those two weeks, we did a lot of talking and I learned more about dad in two weeks than in all the previous years of my life, I miss him terribly
@@timmclaughlin5033 Be proud you got to spend his last few years together. My father just got over Skin cancer, Prostate Cancer, a Subdural hematoma, a Triple bypass. And a stint in his leg. While providing for his wife and daughter, my older sister. My father is one of the best people I know, not just because he's my father, but the things he's gone through for others, and not made a single complaint. The only thing he ever asked for was grandchildren. Which I hope I can give him soon, but I want it too also be for the right reasons, and not just so he has a grandchild.
The score really took the spirituality and mystery of this film to the next level. It invoked the right emotions at the right times. Just perfect. I can't imagine this film having had any other score.
I agree. There is a very nice featurette floating around of Phil Alden Robinson and James Horner discussing the various themes while James plays pieces of them on a piano - highly recommend.
Listen to this song every day on the anniversary of my Dad's passing. The last thing we did together just him and me was to go see a Detroit Tigers game. It was a Perfect Day, just six months before he went on to The Place Where Dreams Come True...
John Williams has made many a classic scores that you can whistle or hum to, but James Horner makes you *feel* the movie and fully engages your emotions into it.
Everything about this movie is perfect. From the actors, to the setting and the score. James Earl Jones is the ONLY actor who could have given that speech towards the end. IMO, it's the greatest baseball movie ever, one of the, if not the greatest sports movie ever, and should easily be in the top 10 overall greatest movie ever. No other movie will cause grown men to shed a tear every time they watch it.
“In Greek nostalgia literally means “the pain from an old wound.” It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. It takes us to a place where we ache to go again…back home again, to a place where we know are loved.” -Don Draper
I'm a Brit that has very little interest in baseball, but I love this movie. It's themes of love, hope, redemption, forgiveness, and believing in your dreams, are beautiful. If only a modern film could capture just a sliver of what this film represents. It also helps that it's got three of my favourite actors in it - Kevin Costner, Burt Lancaster, and James Earl Jones.
Well as an American, in a weird way, I feel this film is supposed to emanate the best of what we’re meant to be. Redemption, forgiveness, family, freedom, second chances, unfortunately we haven’t always lived up to these ideals
My dad and I were huge Mets fans, and one of the greatest days of my life was taking him to Game 7 of the 1986 World Series before he died. See you soon, poppa. Maybe we’ll both be in our 20’s when we meet again.
I am currently listening to this with tears streaming down my face. It will always take me to a place that no other piece of music ever will. In my humble opinion, it is perfect!!!
64 year Vietnam vet and hands down 100% my favorite movie, seen many some good and some bad but field of dreams is just that a field of dreams love it always will.
Yes, thank you for your dreams. My brother-in-law is about 73 years young, served in the swift boats in Nam. Says he can still remember it like it was yesterday. Has reunions with his crew like a band of brothers. My brother-in-law is still living, and doing quite well. He earned the Navy Silver Star for his heroism during an ambush as helmsman of his boat to put it in best advantage for his gunman to do what needed to be done and staying cool under fire. And yes, he knows John Kerry.
Lost my dad August 15th. My boys and I did a last around the horn and tossed the ball into his casket. Somehow, it gave me closure. It felt right and got me through the pain. He introduced me to baseball and I’ll always be grateful for that and so much more. He’s on the Field now👊
I lost my father when I was eleven years old, just old enough to know what a great man he was but not old enough to tell him. 'Ease his pain.' Well, this film eased mine. Thank you, everyone involved in making the magic that is A Field Of Dreams.
I always looked at the composers to see if i would be interested in a film. Williams, Zimmer, Silvestri, Elfman to name a few. But James Horner's "Field of Dreams" was the first to make me cry at a theater. You will be missed Mr. Horner but your music will last forever.
Absolutely. It elevates the movie - and in particular that scene - from very good to great. Wish the studios would let him write the kind of music he likes to write, rather than trying to constrain him to the bland 'Zimmer' sound that you hear in just about every film now.
Crystasorrow True - he's done some very good stuff. Just a convenient term I use from time to time :). His Lion King score is fantastic and very underrated. Elephant Graveyard (if I remember correctly) is insanely skilfull. Regardless, there's a worrying trend in the industry towards blandness now I think. I hope I'm just imagining it.
I'm not the biggest baseball fan, however this movie/score had a huge impact on me as a young teenager. At the time, I was still grieving my father's young death and this movie helped me in so many ways to come to terms with that natural course of life. Thank you Mr Horner and say 'hi' to my dad and tell him I cannot wait to have a catch.
You loved the movie because it was NOT about baseball, but about relationships with boys and their dads. Playing catch is the most primitive relationship activity between a dad and his son. You loved your dad.
The line that is most potent to me, which is rarely mentioned is "I'd only seen him years later, when he was worn down by life." Ray sees his Father and in that moment realises than there was so much more to him that a tired old man who had been laid low by the disappointments of life. I only truly understand that now, as a middle aged man. My Mum cried when she heard that line and she's not given over to exuberant displays of emotion. I cried too, but then I can't even think about the film without crying.
Thank you for sharing. I've been to the...Field of Dreams twice & it truly is a special place & I've lost count of the # of times I've seen the movie ...🌾🌾🌾
Beautiful song from a Beautiful movie. James Horner knew how to perfectly blend a melody so that you feel it in your heart and soul. His music can take you to a place of peace or memories like few other songs can.
The end of the movie when he was with his father them talking with this score truly touching literally makes you want to cry but tears of how much of a masterpiece this was
Having grown up in the sixties, when life was simpler and less complicated. The remembrance of those Sunday afternoon catches with my father is brought back to life in this movie. Kevin Costner was the right (and only) choice for this role, and to my mind, he has always been overlooked for his subtle, but striking performances. The cameo role of Burt Lancaster as Dr. Archibakd "Moonlight" Graham also brought memories of my first doctor, who actually did make house calls, which people these days can't conceive of. Not to be overlooked, James Earl Jones and Ray Liotta were also superlative in their respective roles. Making this movie even more memorable is the melodic and haunting music of James Horner for which he won an Oscar, and deservingly so. As a child of the sixties, this movie will always be one of my favorites.
I just came back from visiting the field with my son. We played catch. I looked around not believing where I was the entire time and since then I’ve been listening to this. As Ray says…. Its perfect.
When I hear this it makes me miss my mom. I know this movie is about fathers and sons. I believe it’s about having that one last moment with the ones you love the ones you love
I played the instrumental from 6:15 to 9 mins in at the end of our wedding - kissed, walked down the aisle together, and then people were to listen to it while they left the church. No one left until the music stopped because it was so beautiful. Still makes me "swoony" 26 years later!
Thank you Heidi...I proposed to my pride from ...The Field... by telephone about a year after your marriage & lucky me she said yes ! She 💫💫💫 about 2 years & the movie & the music helps me daily...to get through it...🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾
This was a movie that I never thought about the score, because it was so ingrained in the DNA of the film it bridged the senses and sound and sight became one.
This song always makes me appreciate the relationship with my father, and what the pain that I will once experience in seeing him pass. Appreciate those family members
Since it fathers day 2022 . I just want to say love you dad you been dead for over 30 years since I was 10 / but I remember you …. Thank you for being alive so I was born and loving me until you left / I love you - and sure I’ll see you in again one day in “ my field of dreams “.
I'll never hear this and not think of my dad. One of our favorite movies. He lost his dad when he was 16. I lost mine at 20. This music is special. It reminds us of things and people we've lost. And reminds us that they are not lost forever
Incredible to think the late, great Mr Horner did this, Honey I Shrunk the Kids and Glory all in the same year. All three would have been worthy of Oscar nominations, truly one of the all-time great composers.
Really going to miss James Horner!!! Every time I just hear the score it.brings tears to my eyes not.only because of his death but because of the emotion and the extreme energy that he put into it. Hollywood and the world will never be the same without him. May you rest in peace James Horner. We all will miss you very much. Thank you for.your musical genius and the incredible music that you gave us to some of our favorite films. Thank you.
I thought the movie was an american masterpiece, and the music is simply somewhere above that. What he did composing this music was lift a game and the athleticism used playing that game to a higher level. I think, as one who played all the sports when younger, and college football, that when we played, our spirits were singing music like Horner's for the pure and simple pleasure of games and competition. Maybe I am making too much about it, but I feel that way pretty deeply.
It’s amazing how 7 words can instantly make you cry, even when you think about them. Baseball is such a beautiful sport. Nothing takes the stress out of life like a good game of baseball
I saw this on a first date with my girlfriend at the time. Even though we didn't date long because she had just gotten over a bad 5-year relationship and I had just gotten divorced from my first wife, we maintained a friendship. She wanted to get back together after we stopped seeing each other, but I had met my wife by then, and we were engaged. My former girlfriend later met a decent man and got married herself. Sadly, her marriage didn't last. She died recently, and I only found out two months after. She and I still kept in touch via e-mail as our birthdays had an inside joke between us with hers being the same as my grandmother's and mine being the day we first spoke. I had e-mailed her for her birthday and received a response from her husband telling me she died. I am totally devastated by this news. She was a great lady and a great friend. She gave me my self-esteem after my divorce, something I never had. I will forever be grateful to her for that, and I will pray for her family and that she rests in peace.
bergcycles1 You are more than welcome. The anniversary of the date we saw this movie just passed, and I watched it in her honor. Yes, I cried also. This woman gave me back something I lost and probably never really had seven years earlier, my self-esteem. She made me realize I was 26 and had never been 16. I'm just grateful for running into her a few years ago and having the opportunity to tell her this.
So sad and emotional. Makes me teary eyed just listening to it. It makes me wonder if this is heaven and your surrounded by all ur loved ones. I miss my family daily.
I dont know why, but I feel the presence of GOD when I hear music like this. I don't necessarily tie it to one religion. It's more "ineffable". Words don't do it justice. It's a feeling. Anyways, such a beautiful score❤
Welp, come to find out, I don't actually have to WATCH the ending scene of the movie to get teary eyed. Apparently the song itself is enough. "Hey dad... Wanna have a catch?" Works one-hundred percent of the time, every time.
royalsfanen, I cry every time at this point in the movie, except for the other night. I started crying when Ray first saw his dad. Hadn't seen the movie in a while, so... I went to the Field Of Dreams a few years back. Listened to the soundtrack until reaching the Field. I sat under the pine near the house while watching kids hit the baseball and run the bases. Simply magical on a perfectly comfortable early summer's afternoon.
i lost my girl in jan...she took her own life and there is so much i wish i had said too her.....this film was on tonight and it made me think about redemption and grief and how too combat it all ....James Horners music has truly helped me tho...listening too it where i can and burning off the pain or just invoking me too say good things too people...and trying not too lash out in anger at people with spite and malice.....tho the road will be long and tough i have mad a promise too her in the chaple of rest to live mylife in a better way and too watch out for my two daughters and make sure the dont befall her pain and tragic end...anyway not sure why iv said this but its helped...god bless and peace...One love Gemma dann in my heart always and forever.
+jamie bennett Sorry to hear about this. If you do as you say and watch out for your daughters and keep their mother's positive memory alive for them that is the greatest gift you can give them.
+Greene Light kids are well we fight the good fight...i wake up and think she is there then i now when i reach over she aint....it shit...and a tough thing i hope you aint gotta go this way L)
So many cherishing memories associated with this movie.. And the soundtrack is pure magic.. RIP James Horner.. This music is pure reflection of you.. Mesmerizing!!!
Wouldn't be neat to see your father before your an apple of their eyes. Just a small amount of time. I lost my father almost 10 years. This soundtrack came to me this morning at work. I guess I'm still thinking about my Dad. I think I would love to venture in back during his time in the Korean War time. Maybe during the times when he was protesting during the Civil Rights in the 60s. I miss you Dad.
At the end of the day, it’s just a game. At the end of my life, it will still be just a game. But I do smile and have cried at the joy this music and the portrayal of a my favorite game and the gift it is….and what is brings to my life…that I am thankful for 🙂
Soffia in modo strano il vento da quando tu non ci sei più. Soffia con un eco lontano con il suono delle tue parole. Nel grano che si fa cullare, nel suono del sole e dell'oro sembra di vedere il tuo volto sereno. Sento un vuoto colmo di tuoi sorrisi, mentre qui la clessidra tra i rintocchi delle campane scorre. Il bambù dentro la luce di un tramonto placa un pò la mia dannazione. E l'uccello che vola solitario mi fa pensare ai tuoi canti. Come dentro una dimensione dimenticata vengo rapita. Nella vigna con i grappoli maturi, un fagiano intona il suo richiamo, come in un sogno tu mi parli. Un ombra lunga sotto le mie scarpe mi fanno sentire sola. È un amore perduto il mio. È un trepitio di singhiozzi e lacrime salate il prezzo per lasciarti andare. Qui resterò ad aspettarti, mentre costruisco i giorni che Dio mi ha ancora concesso.
I played this song for years saying that I would play it when I finally went 12-0 in MLB The Show Battle Royale. Tonight it happened, and I couldn't feel better
During RAGBRAI 2010, the last day of bike ride across Iowa passed through Dyersville. On the way to the finish town in Dubuque, most of the riders stopped at F of D and we got a pickup gamer started. The Field looked exactly the same and it was awesome.
One of my favorite scenes is when Doc. Graham starts to walk back through the players and as he nears the corn field Shoeless Joe yells "hey rookie" Doc Graham stops and slowly turns to Shoeless Joe with that familiar Burt Lancaster presence in that character. Shoeless Joe "you were good". Doc. Graham then slowly turns away and keeps walking back to the corn field. Burt Lancaster brought so much to that film.

At least you got a chance to make peace with your dad. I cannot imagine the guilt you were feeling. 😢😢😢
Beautiful my friend
i say again, forever, this is one of the best pieces of music ever conceived, written, or produced. rip mr. horner. a true genius.
I agree ❤🙏😢
James Horner's music sends shivers up my spine. What a loss of talent.
For Ray . RIP Shoeless Joe Jackson
I genuinely think that this is one of the most beautiful, sincere and spiritual films I have ever seen. Definitively in the top 4 on Letterboxd
You eased our pain. You went the distance. It was you James, it was you!
Excellent!!!!
Totally agree & thank you...🌾🌾🌾
Rest In Peace, Ray Liotta
James Earl Jones.
Thank you for everything sir.
Yes
JAMES Earl Jones 🙏😎😢❤
Thank you, James Horner for your music. May you find your place in the cornfield.
👍
Awesome
Y am . Saturday night I will also like to say thank you for all you did . I know I'm not james any more . I am God
Mr Horner was a incalculable loss to motion picture music!
I lost my father this year. He was 93 years old. I didn't see him for 10 years. Then two months before he died I finally visited him. I couldn't stop listening to this wonderful score for several days.
Marc Parella sorry for your loss...
Lost mine 9-11-08, we hadn't spoke for years for what, I still don't know.
We finally reconnected and his health was declining, I was his companion/caretaker the last six years of his life. Later we learned he had cancer and two weeks to live, he passed two weeks later down to the minute.
We didn't get much sleep in those two weeks, we did a lot of talking and I learned more about dad in two weeks than in all the previous years of my life, I miss him terribly
I I can’t
@@timmclaughlin5033 Be proud you got to spend his last few years together.
My father just got over Skin cancer, Prostate Cancer, a Subdural hematoma, a Triple bypass. And a stint in his leg. While providing for his wife and daughter, my older sister.
My father is one of the best people I know, not just because he's my father, but the things he's gone through for others, and not made a single complaint.
The only thing he ever asked for was grandchildren. Which I hope I can give him soon, but I want it too also be for the right reasons, and not just so he has a grandchild.
93 that’s a very good run in life your farther did well.
Every time I here this....tears fall from me like showers. My Dad and all Dads forever.
Same here.
Amen. Always....
The score really took the spirituality and mystery of this film to the next level. It invoked the right emotions at the right times. Just perfect. I can't imagine this film having had any other score.
I agree. There is a very nice featurette floating around of Phil Alden Robinson and James Horner discussing the various themes while James plays pieces of them on a piano - highly recommend.

Field of dreams

The legend of bagger Vance

The very best sports movies in my opinion, and the music scores are so wonderful.
I totally agree. I’m a grown man. And yeah tears were shed
Don’t forget The Final Season! Starring Rudy
I cry every time he ask his dad if he "want to have a catch"?

low down thank you for your service! You are a hero.
Thank you for your service.

Thank you so much for your service!

And yes, he knows John Kerry.
Back here from the game yesterday. James would be so proud of the production of the beginning of the game.
Me too. James Horner’s brilliant score shaped the movie and it wouldn’t be the same without it.
I can't imagine watching the movie ending for some time to come. My father passed away a few days ago.
I keep coming back to this peace when I need some soothing. It's transformative.
6:26 Ray looking back at his family on the porch and realizing he has it all.
7:32 "Dad, do you want to have a catch?" "I'd like that."
Every time I watch this, I cry just a bit sooner a bit longer and way more wistfully. A glorious masterpiece. An American glory.
It's one of the few movies that can actually make me cry. Shh, dont tell anyone. 😊
One of the greatest films in cinematic history.
there are times when as much as you love the movie it's the music you remember most.

One of the most beautiful soundtracks ever created... I can tear up immediately when I hear it. That's a gift Mr. Horner. Thank you for that.
RIP Ray Liotta
When music had a meaning in films and was an important actor.
It still does, it's just rarer. Hans Zimmer's soundtrack for "Inception" comes to mind.
how can you say that! i bet the music from 2 fast 2 furious changed many peoples lives. hahahaha just kidding
@@Doctor_whom hahah it depend... but the first movie had a great solid score :)
This was a movie that I never thought about the score, because it was so ingrained in the DNA of the film it bridged the senses and sound and sight became one.
Tremendously insightful point. Never thought of that before.
RIP James Horner, one of our greatest film music writers ever.
Every part of this conjures up feelings of bittersweet sadness from my memories.
This song always makes me appreciate the relationship with my father, and what the pain that I will once experience in seeing him pass. Appreciate those family members
Since it fathers day 2022 . I just want to say love you dad you been dead for over 30 years since I was 10 / but I remember you …. Thank you for being alive so I was born and loving me until you left / I love you - and sure I’ll see you in again one day in “ my field of dreams “.
I'll never hear this and not think of my dad. One of our favorite movies. He lost his dad when he was 16. I lost mine at 20. This music is special. It reminds us of things and people we've lost. And reminds us that they are not lost forever
Incredible to think the late, great Mr Horner did this, Honey I Shrunk the Kids and Glory all in the same year. All three would have been worthy of Oscar nominations, truly one of the all-time great composers.
MLB is back at Field of Dreams baby, and it’s just as beautiful as it was last year!
Too bad there won't be any game this year.
@@rockyracoon3233 . Ditto to that.
Really going to miss James Horner!!! Every time I just hear the score it.brings tears to my eyes not.only because of his death but because of the emotion and the extreme energy that he put into it. Hollywood and the world will never be the same without him. May you rest in peace James Horner. We all will miss you very much. Thank you for.your musical genius and the incredible music that you gave us to some of our favorite films. Thank you.
I thought the movie was an american masterpiece, and the music is simply somewhere above that. What he did composing this music was lift a game and the athleticism used playing that game to a higher level. I think, as one who played all the sports when younger, and college football, that when we played, our spirits were singing music like Horner's for the pure and simple pleasure of games and competition. Maybe I am making too much about it, but I feel that way pretty deeply.
It’s amazing how 7 words can instantly make you cry, even when you think about them. Baseball is such a beautiful sport. Nothing takes the stress out of life like a good game of baseball
Joe Tracy well said.. I love the game
"Hey Boo." in To Kill a Mockingbird does me in at 2 words but yeah, those seven take me down too.
@@laurathornton1456 that’s a good one. That got me too
"If you build it, he will come."
never forget this masterpiece.
Best ending to any movie ever.
I saw this on a first date with my girlfriend at the time. Even though we didn't date long because she had just gotten over a bad 5-year relationship and I had just gotten divorced from my first wife, we maintained a friendship. She wanted to get back together after we stopped seeing each other, but I had met my wife by then, and we were engaged. My former girlfriend later met a decent man and got married herself.
Sadly, her marriage didn't last. She died recently, and I only found out two months after. She and I still kept in touch via e-mail as our birthdays had an inside joke between us with hers being the same as my grandmother's and mine being the day we first spoke. I had e-mailed her for her birthday and received a response from her husband telling me she died. I am totally devastated by this news.
She was a great lady and a great friend. She gave me my self-esteem after my divorce, something I never had. I will forever be grateful to her for that, and I will pray for her family and that she rests in peace.
bergcycles1 You are more than welcome. The anniversary of the date we saw this movie just passed, and I watched it in her honor. Yes, I cried also.
This woman gave me back something I lost and probably never really had seven years earlier, my self-esteem. She made me realize I was 26 and had never been 16. I'm just grateful for running into her a few years ago and having the opportunity to tell her this.

James Serzant What is it?
nathanieldayspring00 I think he is saying she remarried after her divorce and the new husband responded
So sad and emotional. Makes me teary eyed just listening to it. It makes me wonder if this is heaven and your surrounded by all ur loved ones. I miss my family daily.
One of my all time favorite movies with one of the best all time scores
I will never understand how this score isn't on Spotify. It's pure magic.
Agreed. It needs to be on
Buy the CD!
6:54 i remember this part playing in my head when we went outside for softball in gym class. just plain field and some dust. it just felt different.
❤ Rip Mom.
I live 20 minutes from the Field of Dreams Iowa truly is a beautiful state. Dreams do come true here
I dont know why, but I feel the presence of GOD when I hear music like this. I don't necessarily tie it to one religion. It's more "ineffable". Words don't do it justice. It's a feeling. Anyways, such a beautiful score❤
Agreed.
It's pure.......
I agree & would just add to me it's spiritual in the way it did & continually does ...move me...🌾🌾🌾
RIP - your music is eternal!
6:25 - maybe this is heaven.
Gets me every time
Welp, come to find out, I don't actually have to WATCH the ending scene of the movie to get teary eyed. Apparently the song itself is enough.
"Hey dad... Wanna have a catch?"
Works one-hundred percent of the time, every time.
royalsfanen Ray: "What's in it for me?"
Joe: "If you build it HE will come."
Ray: "Oh my God, it's my father."
Equally powerfull
royalsfanen,
I cry every time at this point in the movie, except for the other night. I started crying when Ray first saw his dad. Hadn't seen the movie in a while, so...
I went to the Field Of Dreams a few years back. Listened to the soundtrack until reaching the Field. I sat under the pine near the house while watching kids hit the baseball and run the bases.
Simply magical on a perfectly comfortable early summer's afternoon.
You and me both! Love this movie.
@@rogerplatt4852 - "No, Ray. It was you."
i am totally devastated by his loss. the world has lost an incredible talent.
AMEN! to that.
A incalculable loss for sure!:'(

+Domenic Lavigna it was my girlfriend my lady...i have 3 daughter there all ok thanks x
+jamie bennett Sorry to hear about this. If you do as you say and watch out for your daughters and keep their mother's positive memory alive for them that is the greatest gift you can give them.
+jamie bennett bless you brother
+Greene Light kids are well we fight the good fight...i wake up and think she is there then i now when i reach over she aint....it shit...and a tough thing i hope you aint gotta go this way L)
GORGEOUS score!! My Dad & I would watch the end of the movie together, and then -- of course -- "have a catch" after. JUST LIKE YOU GUYS, RIGHT?
Just heard of Vin Scully's passing and I came straight here!😔
So many cherishing memories associated with this movie.. And the soundtrack is pure magic.. RIP James Horner.. This music is pure reflection of you.. Mesmerizing!!!
Wouldn't be neat to see your father before your an apple of their eyes. Just a small amount of time. I lost my father almost 10 years. This soundtrack came to me this morning at work. I guess I'm still thinking about my Dad. I think I would love to venture in back during his time in the Korean War time. Maybe during the times when he was protesting during the Civil Rights in the 60s. I miss you Dad.
R.I.P. to Burt Lancaster, James Horner, Ray Liotta, and James Earl Jones.
Ditto!😢
Hits home, doesn’t it!?
Favorite movie ever since childhood! I can picture everything happening in each scene through this music. So beautiful and moving and magical.
I love you dad
At the end of the day, it’s just a game. At the end of my life, it will still be just a game. But I do smile and have cried at the joy this music and the portrayal of a my favorite game and the gift it is….and what is brings to my life…that I am thankful for 🙂
Soffia in modo strano il vento da quando tu non ci sei più.
Soffia con un eco lontano con il suono delle tue parole.
Nel grano che si fa cullare, nel suono del sole e dell'oro sembra di vedere il tuo volto sereno.
Sento un vuoto colmo di tuoi sorrisi, mentre qui la clessidra tra i rintocchi delle campane scorre.
Il bambù dentro la luce di un tramonto placa un pò la mia dannazione.
E l'uccello che vola solitario mi fa pensare ai tuoi canti.
Come dentro una dimensione dimenticata vengo rapita.
Nella vigna con i grappoli maturi, un fagiano intona il suo richiamo, come in un sogno tu mi parli.
Un ombra lunga sotto le mie scarpe mi fanno sentire sola.
È un amore perduto il mio.
È un trepitio di singhiozzi e lacrime salate il prezzo per lasciarti andare.
Qui resterò ad aspettarti, mentre costruisco i giorni che Dio mi ha ancora concesso.
My all-time favorite movie. Just something so magical about it that I never grow tired of.
Every time I watch this movie I cry. Because I used to play catch with my Dad as well
I played this song for years saying that I would play it when I finally went 12-0 in MLB The Show Battle Royale. Tonight it happened, and I couldn't feel better
I’m not crying, you’re crying.
During RAGBRAI 2010, the last day of bike ride across Iowa passed through Dyersville. On the way to the finish town in Dubuque, most of the riders stopped at F of D and we got a pickup gamer started. The Field looked exactly the same and it was awesome.
This song I've always loved. since, I, was a kid.
RIP Terrance Mann.
And I just watched this movie two days ago
Love you always James Horner. Fly high....
I can't help but think of Burt Lancaster & all his lovely work while listening to this.
One of my favorite scenes is when Doc. Graham starts to walk back through the players and as he nears the corn field Shoeless Joe yells "hey rookie" Doc Graham stops and slowly turns to Shoeless Joe with that familiar Burt Lancaster presence in that character. Shoeless Joe "you were good". Doc. Graham then slowly turns away and keeps walking back to the corn field. Burt Lancaster brought so much to that film.
James Horner could touch your soul with the music he composed. Rest In Peace 🙏🏿
I hear Aaron Copeland in this. Reminds me of Our Town.
+MaxKol After all the times I've listened to both this soundtrack and Appalachian Spring, I can't believe I never made that connection. Good call.
Thanks. Listen to "Our Town" and tell me if you hear a similarity.
Thank you, James Horner. You gave some part of humanity an audible recognition of their griefs, joys, and memories. Thank you 6201Films.
I will never, not tear up.
RIP Ray
Words never forgotten - "Hey Dad, wanna have a catch?"" Reality.
For all my departed family, friends and Shipmates....God bless.
