@@cubicunity508 Yeah...
don't brain washing me with this amazing theme extended.....
@@jerry830619 Brain wash? Maybe it's just connotation, but brain washing means forcing someone into being a mindless puppet. I choose to enjoy this and I truly do enjoy it.
this theme song is a masterpiece
Sure is
what else could you expect from Lorne Balfe ? :)
Yes indeed
The series is good to
Yes definitely
Underrated show, I was shocked when I saw it. Such a good acting, writing and cinematography . Highly recommended. This theme is just epic !
And you'll be even more shocked if you read the books!!!!!
I highly agree with this, I love the show, it makes way more sense than the movie they did years ago, I need to read the books though
I agree, right now im watching the subtle knife
Why tf are they so bad at marketing tho? I didnt discover it until 1 year after it released, when i read the books and stumbled upon it because i was curious to see if ther was any adaptation....
Id very much be happy to trade these dumb youtube ads about negative IQ mobile games for trailers of this amazing series....
This theme is about the only thing truly "epic" about this series so far (half way through season 1). Inconsistent acting, odd, awkward moments that jar you out of your suspension of disbelief, plot holes the size of alternate realities that are never explained, sophomoric directing and actors who have been clearly miscast. It's just barely worth continuing on...but then I watched the entire season 1 of War of the Worlds, so the bar during the pandemic is indeed very low.
I would kill to hear this in a live theater....amplified!
first download the better qulity version since youtube audio quality is dog crap
OMG YEEEEES!!!
Also I got the likes to 69... 😂😂😂😂
The perfect mix of mystic heroism, underscored by this bass line of totalitarian dread. This show!!!!
This is the best description of this song. on point.
This comment is soooooo accurate and soooo beautifully written!
In my opinion in some areas you can hear many trumpets and kind of like a royal hymn. This makes me think of maybe a royal band of angels or to kind of represent the kingdom of heaven. Like at 1:42
Im so exited for this years season
@@edc6172 that is actually ppl singing in the background and that gives it the royal angels feeling.
My best friend: So what's your favorite song?
Me: it's complicated...
word!!!
Right there with you. I have this set as my ringtone and it went off at my job and my supervisor heard it and asked, "What is that?" I said, "The theme to the best show ever."
@@davidstone281 That's a frickin good idea
ill do it too
No it is not, it's the main theme from His Dark Materials series, how complicated that can be?
@@rafaelalodio5116 Yeah this meme is Overused for no reason.
You ever hear and watch an opening sequence so good you immediately fall in love with the show?
Cause that's what happened to me lmao
Yes soon as I heard the theme, I knew I was Going to love the show X
same hereee. i honestly started watching the show because of how good this theme is. absolutely gorgeous and a masterpiece!
Game Of Thrones: I have the best intro/theme
His Dark Materials: Hold my Dæmon
Bro.
One does not simply hold other people's Daemons '-'
Idk there both good and they are probably similar because of HBO
And get accused of taking away someone's soul? I think not
Lmfaoo they are both written in similar keys lol. C minor to Game of thrones and his dark material is Eb major but same keys lol
Umm it's forbidden to touch or hold another's deamon but I knew what you meant lol 😃
Game Of Thrones: I have the best Theme
His Dark Materials: Hold my Alethiometer
nooooo dont u dare touch somebody else's daemon T.T
Everybody gangsta til Hans Zimmer comes
😝
There are some good shows even better. Westworld or Raised by Wolfs.
@@keremteber7420 oh yes Ramin djawadi is one of the best for sure. i get chills everytime i hear light of the seven or any other song of him
The first time I heard this song on the very first episode I almost cried it's so powerful. You know that feeling when something is just so beautiful it nearly brings you to tears?
Me too. It's almost for a second I became Lyra traveling through infinite worlds amongst daemons, angels and northern lights. So incredibly beautiful.
Pure art
I felt the same way.This story is so epic.Everything about it is just magical and real at the same time.And this theme...it's one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard.
Stendhal syndrome
Myself X2 This made you cry? I know it’s good but to cry? Lmao.
For anyone curious, here are the lyrics in the intro:
*Latin:*
Susurros immortales audiunt,
Haruspices incipite parvuli,
Incipite parvuli procedant menses magni,
Incipite, incipite
*English translation:*
They hear immortal whispers,
Begin, children, and read the omens,
Begin, children, for time passes quickly by,
Begin, begin
What does that even mean, though? And the words themselves don't really have anything to do or mean anything to the show or books.
Still, it's cool, and thanks for taking the time to do that! 😁
@@Jrdn357 well, it's not very specific but i think it does set an atmosphere of rebellion and prophecies, wich is pretty much what the book is about, isn't it? don't know for sure because i've only read the subtle knife
@@moonchild7223 Why would you read the second book, but not the first? I don't understand. (But I get your point about the Latin chants.)
@@Jrdn357 lol, i was curious about what happened after lyra crossed the portal and as everyone was saying the books and the show are very similar i thought i wouldn't miss anything if i skipped the first
@@moonchild7223 People are so naive these days!!! (No offense.) But so many people just say, "Oh, I've seen the TV show so I don't need to read the books!" NO!!! Take the Harry Potter books, for example. The movies are amazing and I will love them forever. But the books are so much better! His Dark Materials is my favourite show of all time. Even more than Game of Thrones. However, I'm so glad I read the first book, too. No matter how good an adaptation is, the books will always be worth checking out. Even just for the little moments that have nothing to do with the full-on plot, of which they cut, are worth reading for. They just give the story so much more life and personality!
I remember hearing this on the first episode and thinking "they've nailed it". Perfect for the Dark Materials trilogy.
Avengers, Game of Thrones, the Dark Knight, Inception, Edward Scissorhands, Pirates of the Caribbean: please welcome His Dark Materials in the hall of greatest soundtracks ever. Damn, I love music!
Lo, Avengers? XD Far from the best, even far from really good.
Bruh how dare you forget Star Wars
and transformers dark of the moon battle is amazing
Attack on Titan exists
What about interstellar
The influence of Balfe’s mentor Hans Zimmer is so prominent.
Zimmer is just 👌👌👌
They both are great, but this song is tied with Hans’ Reckless for my favorite none lyric song.
I read all the books and I just can’t believe how good the series is! I just love the theme
The series is even more enjoyable than the books, and that's saying something!
Yes! It’s just so great!
I read too
What's the name of the books?
@@elcid9757 His Dark Materials
This show Is pure art and this intro theme is amazing
how is it art?
@@avengerXable anything that moves you is art.
@@atomos18 not necessarily but it's still art.
@@avengerXable it's a good show... That's what art means in show writing
It is very good, though it should have been 12-16 episodes. Not because of wanting to see more of this intro, but for setting up the characters better - Mrs Coulter letting it slip that Lyra is Asriel's daughter, for instance, makes very little sense for the way she's set up to be (i.e.: a ruthless machine that never gives anything away, with a sweet smile and iron grip). Also, Lyra in the show is petulant, yes, but is not presented as being the self-sufficient, confident youth she is in the books - something I attribute, not to bad writing, but to not having the time to explore her character properly. Another gripe: Will Parry's actor could have been a tad more expressive, especially by the window at the end but, hey, lucky guy's doing his damnedest.
This theme is the perfect example of why Hans Zimmer took on Lorne Balfe to be his assistant! Balfe did a fantastic job!
I thought the magical days are over , I thought they cannot recreate the magical feelings of our childhood Harry Potter/LOTR/Star Wars/The Golden Compass brought to us . but they did , these mf did it . This series is a master piece .
Best theme song in a long time. Those quarter note triplets in the bass line are just devastating.
They really are!
I don't understand what this means;however I love the theme
This music gives you goosebumps...amazing show too
i agree 100%
This show exceeded my expectations
As everyone, the movie was. .. awful
No it wasn't, the movie was excellent, it's just a bit older. It badly needed a sequel that we never got.
@@AspectClip it needed a sequel but it also took out important aspects that defined the saga. Otherwise the cast and effects were stellar, it definitely had potential
They both had potential, but the series made better use of it
Overwhelmingly.
I love how subtle the lyrics are, just an epic sound, you can barely hear the words and it's in Latin, yet someone put a lot of thought into this...
i wish i knew the words so baaaaaaaaad
@@islastorrar I know some. Surrouses Immortales. Audinut Horoscipes. Incipite Parvuli. There is more, but I know the full translation.
Soothsayers hear immortal whispers. Begin children. There are great days of the month to come. Begin children. Begin, begin.
@@shinrbx9587 omgggg thank uuu
@@islastorrar Susurros immortales
Audiunt haruspices
Incipite, parvuli.
Procedant menses magni.
Incipite, incipite.
@@shinrbx9587 that translation works with what's to come, thanks for translating
Avengers portals song: I'm the most catchy, iconic song ever!
His dark materials theme: hold my armoured bear...
sounds heavy
Hold my alethiometer. 🧭
Mandalorian - Hold my Baby Yoda.
Hold my panserbjørne
I want to see someone hold a 2 ton bear + 3 tons of steel armor
This is one of those rare themes that I never, ever skip. I have to listen to it, each and every episode. This is one of the best themes ever for me! There was also a slightly different version after one of the episodes as ending. Anybody know what I mean and where I would find it?
Exactly the same as you! I always skip intro themes but never this one! Always look forward to it and can’t get enough of it. It’s a masterpiece. I know what you mean about the different one but haven’t found it.
are you referring to this? th-cam.com/video/MZk5m7ldaRo/w-d-xo.html. They had this one as the last episode's ending instead too th-cam.com/video/qiuiGHEqPLo/w-d-xo.html
@@drewdimag1 I'm not sure, maybe the first, but I thought it was like almost the same as the original, just slightly different... Been a while. But thank you!
It's as if the BBC commissioned the theme tune writer to come up with something that rivals the Game of Thrones music.
The theme and opening titles definitely have a GoT feel to them, don't they? HBO is handling the international release, so they may have had a hand.
Both composers are "close" to Hans Zimmer, if I recall.
I love Djawadi's GOT theme, but for my personal taste this one is much more interesting. Harmonic choices, especially the 2nd part.
Rivals? Sure this is amazing but not in comparison of Game of Thrones in my opinion.
Lorne Balfe has always been brilliant.
This series is so underrated. The acting. The cinematography. Everything makes this such a classic
ruth wilson as mrs coulter absolute perfection
this series as a whole is so so sooooo well done, this theme is no exception
really is not that well done actually but its worth a watch
Binged it yesterday to episode 5! Really imaginative world and fascinating concepts. Really makes me want to check out the books
@@sanddry738 imaginative world? the people have animal companions thats it, the rest we barely know about, and what fascinating concepts?
Cristian Siica The magisterium, dimensional travel, daemons, dust, adults vs. children, different factions, armored bears, the aliescope, symbolism, narrative, the characters, interactions between people and worlds, time period styles, the cinematography etc.
@@sanddry738 yea if you are new to television or books yea for sure these all are new and exciting
Game of thrones: we have the best theme/intro
His Dark Materials: hold my dust
They both amazing
@@sibalsekya yeah they are both hyperamazing and superstunning and megaastounding and ultramarvellous

totally truth and it reminds me game of throne generic song
I never skipped the intro when I watched that show because it's just soooo good!!!❤
I won't lie, everyone...I paused the show and came straight to YT when I heard this. Once I heard this version...I was in tears. I replayed it back to back. After reading the books, making it through the journey as a boy years ago, to now see it on screen, being as amazing as it is...this intro just made it perfect. I felt the substance of the story through this song. I love it. A masterpiece.
theres something unbelievably perfect about this intro
I finished the Amber Spyglass yesterday. That was for now the longest book (I have the three books in one) I have ever read. A thousand of pages, and I do not regret any of them. And my spirit is still... In it. I have that incredible feeling I had an adventure I will never know again. Love on Philip Pullman and all his work.
I remember the first time I read the books, I basically devoured them (read them all in 3 days), and after finishing it I've had this lingering feeling that part of me was still in there. Weird and sad. And the series has brought all those feelings back, it's actually astounding.
@@fabiomistri3451 3 days, good lord. Without my break of a few months, I took something like a few weeks. Yeah, slow reader.
I know exactly what you mean. I could not forget what they went through, and what they gave
@@isaiahwoods6357 And you feel sooo bad for Lyra and Will at the end of it.
Don't miss out on The Book of Dust. Lyra's adventure continues, and possibly there will be one more book!
Best intro song ever
Coming back to this since season 3 just aired. I still remember hearing this in repeat until the melody stucked in my head for weeks lol.
Lorne Balfe really outdid himself with the music for this series.
Went to concert last night and this was one of the pieces they played live and I just couldn't get it out of my head, so I'm here binge-listening to this. What a beautiful music
been a long time i stayed for a theme song for a show, I usally skip them after the first episode but this one is dope
Who all here after season 3, high five 🙌🏼
Massively underrated show damn
One of the few shows that I will never skip the intro no matter how many times I've heard it before. This is one of, if not the best theme I've ever heard in a show. It powerfully encapsulates the epic adventure the series takes you on perfectly.
Honestly, this theme truly captures the feeling of His dark materials. A wonder of composition and genius.
Can't stop looping this. It's amazing. The series is great too.
Amazing show. Criminally underrated!
One of the best tv show intros of all time...and the show isn't even available yet in my country
Also for me
Streaming is the way by now
Best theme ive heard in years, takes me back to when movies used to have great compositions
GoT: we have the greatest opening theme song ever.
HDM: hold my beer.
Hold my Tokay
Hold my alethiometer... OR NOT!!!!
Best tv show i have ever seen
the 100 dislikes its from the mathestyrium
It fives me goosebumps EVERY.SINGLE.TIME

@@tofu8676 As he should imo
@@tofu8676 I think its great
The best of the best music in the last 10 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome all who are here to listen this theme even after many years 😁😀
TH-cam recommended me this song a while back. It’s been sitting in my watch later until I randomly decided to listen to it today.
I know nothing about the show or the books, but this wonderful music has piqued my interest.
this is probably my favorite book trilogy ever, and the show is great. I recommend checking them out if you can!
Where's my "from the books" gang?!!!! 😘
Sup
What I love about this piece is how well it fits the story. It has a distinctly clockwork like feel to it, which represents the key scientific themes in the story, although they aren't modern by any standard, more of a steampunk idea.
The basey triplets at the end of every phrase are unfamiliar and dystopian, which is an absolutely genius way of demonstrating how the setting is very similar to ours but has many distinct, weird aspects to it.
The bit in the "middle" is far more reminiscent of your standard quest-style shows and movies, and yet sounds almost angelic with its choral music, like a higher power is at work throughout the show (which, brilliantly, is the part where the Subtle Knife appears in the visual theme).
This, tied in with the odd setting and the fact that it is very steampunk in nature, creates a very cleverly done theme. This is all just my interpretation, and it may be completely different to how the composer actually intended it to be, but I love it all the same, cause if nothing else, it's still a beautiful piece of music.
Edit: Formatting
Baruch and Balthamos were my favorite part of the books so I hope they're going to appear in the show too.
Some major Patroclus/Achilles symbolism between those two.
Everything Lorne Balfe touches is a masterpiece
Just when I thought that people had stopped caring about and putting much effort into theme tunes this came along. Brilliant 👏👏👏
Fortunately people still put effort into making brilliant theme songs. You should also check out The Leftovers, Westworld and The Counterpart's opening theme songs. They are masterpieces as well.
This is the best show theme since Game of Thrones! Hats off to the composer.
I hope season 3 comes out soon! I am so excited!
This series is going to become the new Game of thrones
No. It will have a better ending.
I think The Witcher and Wheel of Time will be more important when it comes to fantasy
Better than GOT
Sindre Jenssen it won’t last as long though 😩
Except no booobs....
Masterpiece !!!
Friends: So what have u been listening to in lockdown?
Me: u know just rap music and stuff..
In my head: the His Dark Materials theme tune on repeat for hours..
LOL yes
I’m just waiting for the next episode of this magnificent show
Me when the next episode arrives.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is the definition of divine!!!
2007 me: ok, this movie was disappointing. Nothing like the books, no suspense, no epicness...
2019 me, talking to my 2007 self: Soon, child. Soon...
same
Exactly this! And this is the closest adaptation of a book I've ever seen. Some dialogues are even lifted straight from the pages! The second season can't get here soon enough! Σύντομα...
@@cruciferum and they got the titles for some episodes straight from the chapter's titles too !
@@cruciferum Hey, Are you Greek?!

EXCELLENT SERIES
theres only like 3 spisodes until now relax, they are ok lol
Cristian Siica there's 4 actually and they're brilliant
@@colonyofrats4193 they are ok by far not brilliant lol your standards for series must be pretty low if you think 4 episodes are brilliant, thats ok tho
@@avengerXable why don't you tell us what other show is brilliant? go watch your Batgirl!
@@JSINmartini for example band of brothers- 9.5 on imdb and literally no soul in existence ever said its less than excellent
This theme song just makes you feel so powerful
the show and the song is literally a masterpiece, just perfect
I am comfortable saying this is my favourite TV theme of all time. Since the first time I heard it, on episode 1 of series 1, I've been in love with it. Pure perfection
All dislikes must be from Gobblers
I play this when I do cardio. Makes me feel like I’m going on an adventure
THAT is my favourite soundtracks of all, I cannot stop thinking about this masterpiece
I red the Golden Compass and the His Dark Materials trilogy when I was a 11 year old in 2009. And man, this theme song is sooo epic it captivates me it blew me away.
Who else reading through the comments while listening to this
Its me
😳
Man, I’ve imagined so many stories to go with this song. It’s the perfect blend of epic and beautiful and adventurous and powerful. I love the show but the soundtrack is the BOMB.
the strings in this is so badass uhh
uh something comfortable, now that im alone with my cat, nobody can judge me if I let it play for more than one time.
honestly Im geeking about his dark materials more than GoT.
to be clear GoT in is final season hurt me and I dont feel even reading Martins finishing the books.Done with him.
@SCP - 507 Hoppy Boi yes it makes me almost cry when i think of it.
hectisch No, you’re not!
@@Thepirireis well I sort of am cuz his dark materials was my favourite trilogy ever. And I read it in my teens and tweens and now I'm rereading again. I know that first season of his dark materials is most accessible for the people. Having dedicated BBC and HBO to source material for whole trilogy. I cannot know how they'll manage to do it.. but Yes! I'm hyped! His dark materials go deeper and subtler then asiof ever dared.
Kuv Rut My reply was to hectisch’s query if she is the only one that feels like Lyra is a lot like Arya. I answered that No, she is not alone with that feeling. I’m not sure what your talking about.
My favourite opening song for a tv show ever!
This is one of my favourite series of all time
@@John-dx8th u were close but it's a instead of a e
@@John-dx8th Lyra is my favourite character
@@John-dx8th and lorek is my second favourite character
@@John-dx8th what does that mean
Best drama the BBC produced in decades.
The soundtrack is all so good, reminds me of ‘Kara’s Theme’ in Detroit: Become Human, I can’t believe how well they pulled off the show after seeing it all. I’m a long-standing fan of the series after the books and was one of the few who actually hoped for them to continue the movies, knowing how it was supposed to end but this was a better outcome, the cast, especially Coulter, were extremely well chosen 👏
0:22 Holy shit this is powerful
0:34 (COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY)
I listen to this theme almost as enthralled as Westworld’s.
wowlover16 This theme does the exact same thing to me as does Westworld’s absolute chills and awe.
This is what I call music👌👍!
The first 15 seconds are so powerful. Literally gives me chills.
Cette musique est mon démon 😍

@@Episode_13 you do realize this was a partner project
And Yet again another composer creating a theme song that captivates your soul and make you hit repeat ..Game of thrones .Carnival row. The expanse. Now His Dark Materials and so many other instrumentals not only from tv shows but movies as well I'mma need a bigger hard drive😊
I love how you can hear Lyra's theme and Will's theme combined!
Kate will’s theme? :) which one is that?
Read the books when I was young. I got rid of them when I dramatically reduced my book collection as I brought an ebook reader. I now have gone back to physical books and this series has just made me reorder them. I'll start reading again after Christmas. Yay
The twist at 2:05 is just perfect 👌 it's my favourite part.
Sounds so mysterious yet, epic and wondrously adventuress. Gotta say, I haven’t heard a good orchestra theme in a long time, that is of course, since game of thrones.
This just sounds like an adventure
Αυτή η σειρά είναι απλά αγνή φαντασία. Υπέροχη σε κάθε λεπτό της!
"His Dark Materials" series is pure fantasy! This theme song IS fantasy!
I'm such a sucker for pedal tones😍😍 MASTERPIECE!
Underrated series, like why no one is watching this?
Best piece of music I've heard in a long time, simply wonderful...
