GODZILLA THEME (1954) Cello Cover
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 бер 2021
- I only watch movies KAIJU/GIANT MONSTERS in them, so naturally I love Godzilla. This is the theme from the original film from the year 1954, by composer Akira Ifukube. I probably watched the original King Kong vs. Godzilla 100 times when I was young. Anyone else excited for the new Godzilla Vs. Kong??
Thank you Caleb Conner for all the great percussion you hear in the track!

If something like this were played in any modern Godzilla movie I would be super impressed

Godzilla minus one 2023
This REALLY captures that feeling of hearing that theme for the first time. Well done
Yesss! Glad you think so, I love this intro so much
yes exactly what i felt
That’s the way it should be played. Delightful for my ears. Just wow
Thank you Mosik!! :)
He didn't have to bless us like this........ but he did!!
:))
awesome cover!
fun fact: this specific variation of the theme was arranged by Ifukube for his 1983 piece, 'Symphonic Fantasia no. 1', a concert hall medley of different film scores he had composed over the years (including many Godzilla pieces). 8 years later, when Ifukube returned to composing film scores, this version finally made an official film appearance in 'Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah', and has been the go-to theme for Godzilla ever since!
Wasn't this the song from the opening credits of the very first movie?
@@jerodbarbee1821 yeah the 1954 main title is part of it, but the fanfare and intermezzo at the beginning weren't in that film. the fanfare first appears in king kong vs. godzilla and isn't ever played as part of the main theme until symphonic fantasia no. 1. sorry i get very um actually about this specific history haha
2:08 top right pannel.
Cello Basset is showing that he is canonically bigger than godzilla
Hahaha
I miss you
why do i get the eerie feeling, plus it reminds of the man in the suit 😭
You knocked it out of the park with this rendition!
Thank you Jag!
Anything sounds amazing in cello. When that upper octave comes in I get the chicken skin every time.
If I didn't know any better, I would've thought this was an official rendition. Amazing job!
Thanks so much for watching :)
Fantastic as always! I loved how powerful it was, it had that menacing quality that godzilla is known for
Yes! That intro is my fav, so much Godzilla hahah
Wtf, why did I get shivers? :0
Hot damn- this was great! Really had that POWER that tells you "Yo, Gojira's here, mf-ers."
Great music no matter how its done. GREAT!
This is incredible! Whenever I hear that intro, in my head I say "Simon says get the f*** up"
Simply unique
Thanks for this
Thanks for watching :)
This is what wakes me up from my sideplot-induced nap!
I CAN FEEL THE EPICNESS!!!
This is EPIC!!!! Thank you!! This is the best thing I've seen in 2024 so far. I'm so glad I stumbled on to this! BTW: I have that EXACT solar powered Godzilla Business Card Holder! My friend got it for me while he was in Tokyo. I've never seen another one in the US.
Haha yeah!!! I’m
So happy you like it!
As always, excellent rendition from someone who deeply understands the original.
Also, i cant be the only one who cant help but expect a hot beat to drop after the intro lol.
I cannot put into words how incredible this performance and your arrangement is. Absolutely spectacular.
que bonito se escucha con tantas voces tocando cada uno algo de la música
Thank you so much for continuing to reply to comments years later!
I haven't heard this one before, but it was great the way you played it. Loving the new intro sequence, too!
I love the way you make dark music really enjoyable to the ear. That’s a rare talent.
"...say, how did they make the old Godzilla roar, anyway?"
(research)
"Huh, they took the lowest string on a contrabass, ran a glove with resin over it, and then played with the speed?"
Yeah! I tried doing something like that with my cello but I didn’t sound anything like it hahaha
Loved it as usual!!
Thanks again!!
AHHHHH LOVE IT SO MUCH Just got a cello myself (have played violin for over a decade but cello has always been my favorite) and I love watching your videos while playing!!! ✨
Haha yay! Congrats on your first cello!! Go play some Godzilla now!
Epic and perfect as always!
Also, congrats to 10k subs! 🎉😀
Damn amazing! you did so GOOD!
Thank you!!!
awesome! nicely done!
Yes, Mark!
Amazing sounds great
Now this is epic
Epic music!
Miss your videos, hope you are doing okay and well. Would like to see some new videos.
Awesome
I know nothing about Kong and Godzilla, but I feel like his longer arm reach and better movement with his legs will allow him the upper hand... Either way, excited to see the fight on the big screen...
Oh, and cool song too, as always, you know the deal! :P
Hah! We will find out tomorrow!! :))
This is so underrated! damn!
It's so hard not to head-bop to those heavy-hitting cello accents tho
I give this a pleased skreeonk out of 10

Hey man, thanks for stopping by! I do plan to yes! It’s just been a crazy year on all fronts so it’s been hard to find the time :(
Yo, please molduga theme
Benton says hi
Starting cello lessons this weekend. Would it be weird to request this as the first song I learn??
It might be tough without some simple songs to help build basic technique first. I think the main melody here could be doable pretty early on if done in first position rather than shifting around like I do here
The lack of Ifukube ruined GvK :(
There's a marvellous Japanese string quartet version on here somewhere.
As well as a documentary where, despite being in Japanese, it's obvious there's a bit where Karauo Wada is explaining " Ifukube San COULD have used violins for the main riff, but the exact same note is far more epic on a cello, so he voiced most of it on them". It doesn't go in to how many brass players died under his baton though........I imagine there's a mass grave near the Toho tank....."This horn section's dead, muck them out and get me another"
I love gojira
Me tooo
Simon says get the f up
