Farewell Mr. Sakamoto - thanks for those beautiful melodies. Long may you live in another universe.
this piece had such a massive impact on me during a very important part of my life. i'm saddened to hear about ryuichi sakamoto's passing. his work is so beautiful and will be with me for the rest of my life.
Me too
This song has underpinned my life at many points.
R I P
MR SAKAMOTO
I will always wear forbidden colours !
Xxx
I love the original version, with the synthetizers and Mr. Sylvian's voice. OMG, it's wonderful.
As artists, we live forever through our work. Even long after our deaths, so long as we're able to touch the hearts of even a single person through our art, it's like we've never been gone at all.
Rest in peace, Sakamoto sensei ❤️
beautiful
Hear hear! Lovely sentiment!
🥲🫂❤

Such an overlooked singer... Thanks to a friend, years ago, Peter. I now know about David Sylvian.
Make sure to check out Japan. Sylvian was the vocalist in that band.
Sylvian has been in the music industry for decades
please forget
@@MilkBreakMinecraft I know, but thanks!
@@aiscorp lmao
My love wears forbidden colours...
RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Beautiful and heartbreaking....what a great world we live in with David Sylvian and Mr Sakamoto
what a great world we live in without! David Sylvian!!!
This song is a prayer.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written RIP Ryuichi
This is an utterly brilliant composition on any level you want to dissect it from. Ryuichi's use of that haunting melodic line against the changing chords, and its powerful transformation when he sings "millions are willing to give their lives." It's easily one of the most melancholic pieces I have ever heard, distilling the sheer horror and insanity of war into something divinely beautiful. If this piece can't bring a tear to your eyes, then probably no music can. Sylvian delivered a great set of lyrics and singing too and the movie itself was great too, as paindful as it was to watch.
its less about distilling the madness of war to the beautiful than about the importance of tolerating difference. the admiration of the other as pure difference, the sharing of one world that ends with death. thats what makes it poignant. and it extends to us all and every single relationship.
"millions are willing to give their lives" is an expression of the importance that person is, not just to the lover but attests to the power of the other to many others.
@@danielwa4819 You said that really well, I agree this movie is all about accepting differences, and it shows how rich life is if you do accept, because we are all human, we all laugh, cry and we make powerful relationships (to our own hearts).
Grateful we made a big sojourn to see this when it was released in the theatres
And now Sakamoto is gone. Can’t believe it.
Over 30 years since I have listened to this song, still haunting.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Sakamoto. You will be forever in my heart
Still sounds flawless all these years later...
Ryuichi was a gifted and eclectic musician as well! Thank you, Ryuichi! May you fare in the heavens! 😇🙏
This is one of the most favorite music I have ever known.
I first heard this song and music on a local FM station and immediatly bought the soundtrack, we saw the movie shortly after and the music was a powerful part of the movie. RIP Ryuchi Sakamoto
RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto. While he constructed many compositions throughout his life, this one has a special place in my heart. He will be missed by many, but never forgotten🎹🎶🎼 MERRY CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE
I must've listened to this version alone non-stop for the last hour.
I simply love this tune, o negai shimasu! Rest in peace, Ryuichi, you will be missed forever. My heart goes out to all you wonderful Japanese people! Totemo ii! This is the real stuff. 😢😅
unquestionably one of the most evocative, sumptuous soundtracks every composed. The two are them are perfect companions musically, for this song. Also, Ryuichi was AMAZING in that movie. I cried my face off.
LYRICS:
The wounds on your hands never seem to heal
I thought all I needed was to believe
Here am I, a lifetime away from you
The blood of Christ, or the beat of my heart
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
Senseless years thunder by
Millions are willing to give their lives for you
Does nothing live on?
Learning to cope with feelings aroused in me
My hands in the soil, buried inside of myself
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again
I`ll go walking in circles
While doubting the very ground beneath me
Trying to show unquestioning faith in everything
Here am I, a lifetime away from you
The blood of Christ, or a change of heart
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again
Tummy turning tune 😇
😍
Gracias por la letra 🌷
🖤🙏🏽
Listen alone , pick up on every note,key change and emotion in both music and voice,listen alone with no distractions , then you may understand what I mean, This music will move you xx
Probably one of the best pieces of music ever.. Only enhanced by David sylvian.... I've loved this guy since forever
Hurts my heart ❤
Yes, Anna
Together with Beethoven's Ninth:
The two most moving and glorious compositions of musical history !!!
I will always remember this immortal tune 🎉
I remember playing the single record over and over again when I was living at my Mother-in-laws home before moving to the US, so 1987-1988. One side has this version, the other is the instrumental version. When I say over and over I mean sometimes all day! Haunting and beautiful, sad and poignant.
Rest in peace, Mr. Sakamoto
It’s 23:51. The world is so scared due to COVID-19. So am I. It’s snowing outside. Heavily. I feel like we’ve started living in the alternative world. Listening to this version. Feel some things may be better. Anyway, whoever reads this, wish you health!
hope you are well
🌷
life goes on
Lmao, what an exaggerated comment and cringey comment looking back. Just enjoy the music, and live your life. "The world is scared, and so am i" christ sakes, I didn't know I could find myself laughing to this song, but with these comments, i can't help it. LOL
still takes my breath away.
Farewell Ryuichi.... saddened to hear the 3rd battle of cancer came to an unexpected end.
Great song and a fantastic Movie starring the late David Bowie!!! 💖💖💖
A fantastic progressive film, and equally fantastic soundtrack. Tragic and beautiful.
Who else could leave something so beautiful on earth?
７年前、坂本龍一さんが好きだった母の葬儀にこの曲を使わせていただきました。
映画も子供の頃母に連れられ何度も観に行きました。
母に会いたくなるとこの曲を聴いています😢
坂本さんも昨年黄泉の国に旅立たれました😢
好きだった人がまた１人居なくなって寂しいです…
Why, across the last 40 years, are my cheeks always wet when I hear this?
" Lifetime " away from you ,,,, DS from their 1st album has probably touched every emotion some where, at some time , a personal thing i guess . The " Other side of Life ", i still to this day try to work out where that wants me to go and do.... My bitterst pill, saw Japan 7 times , and id been the previous night, they did two nights at Manchester apolo , then getting a ticket for the fairwel tour , it was tryng to get pink champagne during the Blitz ,,, I find listning to Oil on Canvas really hard ..... RIP Mick, what a genius
Flawless. Mr Sylvian and Mr Sakamoto. Flawless❤️❤️
Such a brilliant collaboration
Missing DBowie and doing all I can to soothe the grief. It has been more than a year. Chanced upon these 2 greats, and I am a new fan of theirs. Thank you for sharing. Thank you DB, the film, the music and film artists, for TH-cam sharing platform, for the synchronicity.
It seems to me there’s a flavor of Nightporter song from David in this anthological tube which I hold dear to my heart ❤️ RIP Koichi S Live long Your Spirit ❤
この曲のポーカル、デヴィッドボウイかと思ったらシルヴィアンだったんだね。
教授と長年の友人だって言ってたもんな!。
歌声とメロディが見事に調和してホントに素晴らしい🤩🤩
Rest in peace Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence. Forbidden colurs
2016年に お亡くなりになった
デヴィッド・ ボウイさんが 歌っているのかと思っていたら
違う方だった それでもこのバージョンは素晴らしいです
ありがとうございます
One of my all time greats. Thanks for the memories..
Yes still a great and beautiful classic
Masterpiece ❤️
RIP my beloved Ryuichi .... We have to die. Everyone sometime. It`s so horrible that we have to stand it. All the good Musician are fade already.
Ryuichi Sakamoto - Rest In Peace.
This song brings me a lot of comfort.
RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto!
Unsterbliche Melodie! Einmal gehört, nie wieder vergessen.....
DESCANSE PAZ!!!!!!!! GÊNIO SAKAMOTO!!!!!!!!
Japan such a fascinating country, love this track..
R.I.P. Ryuichi Sakamoto
RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto
I just realized what Forbidden colours means.
1952-2023 RIP 🙏
Mr. Sakamoto is known for his ties with Bossa Nova. He has taken part in Morelenbaum², a project of his long term cellist, Jacques, with whom he covered several Jobim's songs.
Something that always brings to mind this connection are the very first melodies of this tune. Pay attention. It reminds "Pela Luz dos Olhos Teus", a song by Mr. Jobim himself.
0:00 to 0:29
Timeless
The longing to be with the other as an impossibility due to difference, and at the end of the day the inevitability of death that collapses all differences to a shared fate. Mono no aware.
LOVE THE FILM, MUSIC AND ALL!
miss you kevin
miss you ryuichi
resst in peace
i love y'all
One of the best voices over this magnificent music.
1. I've known about this movie for a very long time but never watched it because I guessed it was one of those movies I want to dedicate myself entirely and uninterrupted for the entire duration. I guess Christmas is now a perfect opportunity.
2. Can't believe it's from 1987, sounds like "early 2000s but a lot of effort went into this to make it an avant-garde song" but it's from 1987. Now I want to see it even more. Hopefully the movie stands out as much as the poster tells me it does, I'm expecting something "Lawrence of Arabia" or "The Legend of 1900" in terms of emotional experience. Farewell Mr. Sakamoto.
This song is so charming🌹
Rip Ryuichi Sakamoto
La musica ha il potere di fondersi con i sentimenti che uno vive in quel momento per poi diventare indelebili.
Rip Mr Sakamoto genius and one off
デビットシルビアン、昔JAPANというグループにいた人かな。声がそうだから、昔、Japan好きだったから、なんか嬉しい。大好きな戦場のメリークリスマスをとても上手く歌っていますね。
Too young to die, rest easy Mr Sakamoto .
デビッド・シルビアンが唄う、このバージョンも好きです。
何が悲しいって坂本さんがこの世にいないこと。
Magnifique ❤
そもそもこのジャケットがカッコ良すぎる！
RIP Sakamoto
Beautiful xxx
I heard that song somewhere but I can't remember where. A Miyazaki movie ? A video game ? My phone alarm ?
More important, it's really beautiful
"The Path of Wind" from My Neighbour Totoro has some similarities to this song.
RIP ❤
Merry Christmas!!!
just wow :)
Thanks for good quality :D
magic
Ryuichi Sakamoto (坂本 龍 RIP

Arigato gozaimasu Sakamoto san 💔 ❤
Thank you sargent caliers.
las mas hermosa
To me, as an Anglo, Mr. Sakamoto stole the movie. Who was this David Bowie gentleman?
RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto
These artists not recognised, whereas Phil Collins and George Michael adored, justifyably so for what they did, but DS criminally ignored
Speaking about the film...Totally underrated...Should be and considered a classic.Probably the inevitable similarities to "The bridge of the river Kwai" didn' t let that happen...But still, a great film and even more a brilliant music...
Came from Watergate - Heart of Asia and not ashamed of it
4 people do not like. What do they like?
