Listening to Vangelis for the 70's and 80's has me time tripping back to my youth when I would put in an LP and headphones........and let his music carry me awayyyyy. The China recording gets me Everytime. Better days😢
You're absolutely right about the soundtrack value. Unfortunately, Denis Villeneuve didn't get that when he directed the sequel... and that's why that movie is nothing but a faded shadow of the original version.... and now it's too late to fix that on the coming sequel.
@@SergioSabinoMusicOfficial you are so right... every villeneuve production seems like the actors are all on a benadryl overdose... like BR2049 with agent k-hole
Yes; somewhere there is a video of some of the first Star Wars movie without the soundtrack and sound effects, and it looks kind of silly. Music has saved many films; Halloween is another example.
Isn't true that this song, plus Ridley Scott direction and the Blade Runner screenplay it's one of the most magnificent artistic moment in the human history?
How many times has this song lulled me to sleep. How many times have I sat in my car alone on a rainy night after work because I can't stand to interrupt the song. And here, now, your rendition floats my mind away to times long ago, when things were simpler and I was younger and more innocent.
@@TaurusTarkus Very much so! There are so many memories in my mind (going way back to the age of about 9),that come strongly when I hear certain music.
When Deckerd was looking at her photo .. and that momentary pause comes .. and then Rachel and her Mother begin moving ~ the still probably being part of an old 8mm film maybe? .. "I didn't know why a replicant would want photos" .. Vangelis created music that was so emotionally intense that I can weep listening to almost everything from Bladerunner 💛🙏💛
"Vangelis created music that was so emotionally intense that I can weep listening to almost everything from Bladerunner" Indeed. He was able to tap into the deepest levels of emotion. I've been working on Blade Runner Blues, and (especially given the ways it is used in the film) it tears your heart out.
I like that you included some sound elements reminding us of the atmosphere that Blade Runner takes place in. This is, after all, a song about the anguish and sadness that Raechel experiences when she finds out that she is not human, even though she has the feelings of a human.
FLAWLESSLY BRILLIANT. Thank you. As I sit on my sofa on a rainy NYC Saturday morning. The rain hits the windows as the drops roll down the glass, just like tears in the rain. I'm starring at my original Blade Runner poster I took down from the Flushing, Queens RKO THEATRE in 1982.
Many thanks for your wonderful comments! My daughter lives in NY, and it's raining here (about 80 minutes away) today too. May I suggest my Vangelis Playlist, which has several from BR in the order from the soundtrack.
Hi Taurus, I am also pleased that there are people that viewed and commented on this. It lets me know I'm not alone. It's very rare in this day and age to meet people that appreciate the beauty of the masterwork by Vangelis. The score for Blade Runner may have been one of his best works. Ironically, Blade Runner also endures after all these years. Your cover, like all your others, is flawless, pure, and perfect. When an artist gives you a gift of his or her art, then in becomes priceless. Truly priceless! Thank you so much for all the work on your channel. It's Priceless!
Thanks so much for your wonderful comments! Having a UA-cam channel can be a lonely endeavor, and comments like yours really make it worth it and keep me going!
Thank you. I really wish that he had been able to hear my covers (please check out the others). Unfortunately, my understanding is that he didn't do much on the internet.
Brought me to tears, as this popped up in a sunny lazy Wednesday afternoon while I'm having a cup of coffee and watching the trees outside. We need to remember that the moments we live in will one day be memories and we should cherish them while they happen with this in mind. Thank you, impeccably well done.
Thanks! I was just thinking that when I first released this, within an hour I got two thumbs down. Fortunately, most people since then have enjoyed it.
So great to hear this a week after the great man's passing,although he has left us physically his soul with live with us through his music,I'm sure he would be proud of your rendition,bravo
Thank you. I wish that he could have seen any of my covers of his music; I'm equally happy with each of them. Unfortunately, I don't think he did; he did not spend time on social media/internet.
Soon memories of green will be a truth behind that extraordinary song composed by vangelis.i m certain vangelis predicted the future for several times . congrats for your remarkable performance .
Salute from a fellow musician! You successfully matched the exact athmosphere this composition deserved and Mo Vangelis for sure smiles at you somewhere up there from Heaven. I watched the majority of your covers available here and just can say - bravo!
This is an awesome cover of this song. I like it as much as the original, and that's rare for me. I think the reduced sound effects give us an opportunity to appreciate the piano part more, definitely in my case. I think you made the right choice with putting some in tho', really well balanced, and that bit right at the end, well done recreating that, it's almost a signature part of the track in its own right.
OMG - beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Many thanks for sharing your talent with us - "Memories of Green" is my favorite Vangelis composition, and your flawless heartfelt performance is breathtaking.
Vangelis wrote such beautiful melodies, but he never just played them, but took his time to build them up, embellish them and suddenly go to another equally beautiful melody inside the song. It was magical.
@@mikaelbiilmann6826 Thanks! Great Michael Palin image. In addition to Python, I loved him in A Fish Called Wanda. I keep meaning to watch more of his travel documentaries.
@@TaurusTarkus Thanks. I loved Palin’s contributions to Monty Python’s tv series and movies. He wrote some of the funniest bits. He did write some for Terry Gilliam too. 😄
Theres a good side of the UA-cam’s algorithms 🙏. As a fan of the blade runner soundtrack this is beautiful my friend. Ive just listen to it with my eyes closed on a rainy cold night before going to sleep. This is indeed pure magic. Thanks and Vangelis from afar its surely smiling ✌️👏🙏
Thanks for the beautiful comments! Yes, there is definitely a lot of good on UA-cam, and fortunately my channel has mostly been spared of the negativity that so often strikes in the comments sections. I hope you enjoy my other Vangelis music as well. Peace.
Im a Huge Blade Runner fan, i absolutely adore the film and especially the music, and all i can say is, you have done the track Justice, this sounds sublime 👌 i can only imagine how it would sound in person live, phenomenal work Sir
This just reminds me of my late grandmother(mother's side), who recently passed 2 months ago😢, and it really hurts but I have family and friends who are there with me, so thanks for helping me through this song to remember the good times with her.
This performance does not deserve 14k views, but more than 14 millions.... brilliant, touching the heart, breath-taking, just a caviar... BR atmosphere is captivated in this beautiful piece you performed! Vangelis would have loved, certainly...
Thanks for such great comments!! When I first released this video, nearly a year ago, I was excited to see what people would think... and within about two hours, I got two thumbs down!
This is simply superb. I listened to this multiple times, even with sounds of the Bambino UFO Master Blaster playing in the background, and I'm amazed every time. Thank you!
Thanks so much for your comments! The sound effects are coming from the Yamaha Montage and the Prophet Rev2. After making this video, I learned about the Bambino Master Blaster and bought one off eBay! If I ever end up re-recording this, I will be sure to put it to good use. :)
I played this video many times since I first watched it 2 weeks ago. Having never seen Vangelis played this music live, your recording is the best we have of listening and watching this piece being played the same time.
esta pieza es de las primeras en cautivar mi alma con la clase del maestro Vangelis en el año 1983 cuando saliera en casette en la selección musical de la serie Cosmos de Carl Sagan. Sagan lo hizo a lo grande incluyendo ese género new age de calidad suprema y era mi favorita. Luego memories of blue y of white la igualaron en mi preferencia pasando a ser el tríptico que completó mi descubrimiento dimensional de este tipo de obras que abren puertas a nuevos sentidos sutiles y maravillosamente pacificantes del alma. Gracias!!!
"I've heard things, people wouldn't believe...and now, all those notes, will be hold in mind...". Best rendition after the original, the atmosphere is the same and Rachel stands by me.
What an amazing cover! Sincerely I think I might be a little biased 'cause I love this song, but everything about this cover is so perfect in every aspect, that I personally consider it one of the best works (related to all the songs in general) in all UA-cam. My sincere admiration and appreciation goes to you and your beautiful interpretation of this Vangelis' masterpiece.
Thanks so much! I was just in Madrid a month ago for the first time! In fact, I've been working through my pictures, and my next video will be pictures from Spain. We stayed along the Gran Via. I really loved the Prado, Royal Palace, Reina Sofia, Retiro Park, etc... and from Madrid, we did a an incredible day trip to the amazing city of Toledo. Prior to that, we spent several wonderful days in Barcelona. I do hope to return to your wonderful country!
This has always been my favorite from the soundtrack. The way you perform these songs so effortlessly and with such authenticity is fantastic... Be encouraged you are truly gifted. Time to listen_
Of all of the cover versions of this musical masterpiece that I have heard and there are some very good ones, this is as close to the original as you are going to get. Not just because all of the sounds are there but because the tempo is spot on. The artist is just a very very good keyboard player, up there with Emerson.
Read the news of Vangelis passing today and I had to listen to my favorite piece of the Blade Runner soundtrack and I find this amazing cover. Thank you for this! :)
@@SchulzTrain Vangelis had the rare ability to effortlessly pull beauty out the ether. I think he saw it that way- that music was all around us, and that we needed to open ourselves up to it.
Que melodia,tan preciosa me hace,viajar y despierta toda,mi imaginación ,que sensibilidad ....genial ,Nome cansaré nunca de escucharla y para mí perdurará ,hasta el fin de los tiempos❤
my favourite track from bladerunner and you did it justice. Vangelis was such a clever clever passionate composer. Thank you you made my day. good health and keep the music forever.
Nao ha palavras....para essa obra prima....pelo filme....direcao...fotografia.som..figurino..elenco e principalmente trilha sonora...Se existe perfeicao neste mundo..se chama Blade Runner......❤
@@TaurusTarkus Eu assisti so no cinema 38 vezes.....em VHS E DVD perdi as contas .....ja me vesti ate de Rachel em um Cosplay que fui.....sou ¨pouco¨fã.......rs
Uau; 38 vezes! Então você conhece o filme muito melhor do que eu. Eu não tinha idade suficiente para ir sozinho e meus pais não me levavam para ver filmes com classificação R.
hace unos dias conmemore la muerte de vangelis con este video... Pase de un estado muy sensible a una calma quieta... quieta en el infierno de mi vida... Un saludo enorme desde Curico, Chile y muchas gracias por tu hermoso cover...
This is a truly beautiful cover. My favourite piece of classical music. With perfection and depth of feeling in your play, matches the great man. Bravo!
Thanks for your comments! In a world of diverse people and views, some gave it a thumbs down, including two people within hours of posting. But many more like it.
I was going to record this at one point. But you nailed it so much that there's almost no point. Fantastic job, every little detail is there. There's some good version out there but they all ruin specific elements that should never be missing. But yours has all that Vangalisy goodness.
I must say, High hopes my friend. I hear the beauty not being marooned... I'm very happy to know the quality in joy for music still makes its round for younger generations to hear these days
After having watched some of your videos, only thing I can say is that your talent and passion for music is absolutely phenomenal. This is not the typical music channel where covers are made. Your performances have something beyond.
Thank you very much indeed for such kind comments! I missed your wonderful comments until just now; I was visiting my daughter in Asia when you wrote them. Thanks so much.
I was not sure anybody could replicate such gigantic enormous burst of talent,from the immortal greek, now i see his artwork had impregnated the collective mind of humankind, and talents from all colors and backgrounds and ages will come from everywhere to try to keep alive that grandiosity of beauty that is the musical creatures of vangelis..thanks taurus tarkus from another lover of this genious work of art
Wow. So impressed and so well played. I literally grew up with Vangelis's music. I remember staying up late just so i could watch Cosmos and even then being captivated by it's soundtrack. My older brother had the Heaven and Hell album and i would frequently play it. I was hooked from that day on. Loved watching you play that piece, Memories of Green.
Thanks so much! You are lucky to have discovered such beautiful music at such a young age. I did not hear the music of Cosmos and Heaven and Hell until I was much older. Chariots of Fire was my first, followed by the equally magical Jon and Vangelis recordings.
@TaurusTarkus You're very welcome. You did a superlative job. I honestly can't tell the difference between this and the soundtrack save the absence of the beep-boo-beep soundtrack effects.
Thanks! As with my other Vangelis covers, I went through it very slowly to try to get the notes right. For this one I had a transcription to start with, but they usually have mistakes. For something like Blade Runner Blues, I had nothing to work with, and that one is quite long.
Like many other people, I discovered Vangelis via Chariots of Fire and later his amazing work with Jon Anderson. I listened to that music a lot in high school, and as a keyboardist, I felt like Vangelis was performing a work of magic. How did he ever get his keyboards to sound so organic and musical? My parents did not take me to rated R movies, and so I did get to see Blade Runner for a while, even though I was a big fan of Harrison Ford. When I did see it, I think it went over my head a bit. Perhaps I was so blown away by the music that I couldn't focus on and appreciate the depth of the themes of the film until later. Blade Runner is my favorite work/score/album by Vangelis, and happily UA-cam allows me to share my love of the music with those of you who appreciate it.
Un tema escandalosamente hermoso. Quedo casi sin plabras. Tu interpretacion Taurus hace que al escucharlo solo piense en Sean Young con sus pequeñas lagrimas en sus mejillas y su conocimiento de que no era humana. Realidad pura y triste. Muchas Felicilitaciones compadre
En efecto. Música como esta puede ser mágica para transportarnos. ¡Gracias por tus comentarios! Espero que también disfrutes de mis otras versiones de Vangelis.
Oh, man… you captured the essence of Vangelis here, God rest his soul. Thank you very much. It’s beautiful.
Thanks for such beautiful comments! They mean a lot. I hope you enjoy my other Blade Runner covers as well.
@@TaurusTarkus Bravo !

Is true , man
I'm not embarrassed to say this song gets me so close to crying everytime I listen to it. such a beautiful track, rip vangelis you will be so missed

Cry away friend...cry away (sobbing)
Vangelis e único....genial....pra mim se existe perfeição se chama blade runner.....trilha sonora única....❤
Blade Runner owes half its value to the soundtrack, which is a masterpiece by Vangelis, and this performance is sublime.
Many thanks. Yes; it's hard to think of another soundtrack that enhances the film as much as this masterpiece.

Very well done, TT. 👍
Vangelis hears you. 🙏
Love this! Thank you.
Que melodia,tan preciosa me hace,viajar y despierta toda,mi imaginación ,que sensibilidad ....genial ,Nome cansaré nunca de escucharla y para mí perdurará ,hasta el fin de los tiempos❤
¡Muchas gracias por tus hermosos comentarios!
my favourite track from bladerunner and you did it justice. Vangelis was such a clever clever passionate composer. Thank you you made my day. good health and keep the music forever.
Thanks very much. Yes; we've lost an amazing talent. We have his music to comfort us.
Nao ha palavras....para essa obra prima....pelo filme....direcao...fotografia.som..figurino..elenco e principalmente trilha sonora...Se existe perfeicao neste mundo..se chama Blade Runner......❤
Obrigado pelos seus excelentes comentários. Blade Runner continua a surpreender.
@@TaurusTarkus Eu assisti so no cinema 38 vezes.....em VHS E DVD perdi as contas .....ja me vesti ate de Rachel em um Cosplay que fui.....sou ¨pouco¨fã.......rs
Uau; 38 vezes! Então você conhece o filme muito melhor do que eu. Eu não tinha idade suficiente para ir sozinho e meus pais não me levavam para ver filmes com classificação R.

Tenho 54 anos. Os anos 80 foram uma ótima época para crescer!
Sencillamente extraordinario¡!!!!
Muchas Gracias!
Absolutely mesmerizing!
Thank you very much!
Man, you've got the sounds so dialed in it's crazy. Tremendous.

I get goosebumps throughout the entire song, uncontrollable
That may be the best compliment I've ever gotten. Nothing beats goosebumps!!

Oh my beautifully done. I think you are right the effects do add to the atmosphere (if you know the film). Brilliant.
Great to see you here Gerard! I appreciate your opinions. Many thanks.
hace unos dias conmemore la muerte de vangelis con este video... Pase de un estado muy sensible a una calma quieta... quieta en el infierno de mi vida... Un saludo enorme desde Curico, Chile y muchas gracias por tu hermoso cover...
Muchas gracias por tus hermosos comentarios.
Magistral
Thanks!
Emotional sound...fantastic. thanks for this moment...😢❤
Many thanks!
This is a truly beautiful cover. My favourite piece of classical music. With perfection and depth of feeling in your play, matches the great man. Bravo!
I really appreciate your kind words.
Thanks for this, fellow Taurus. My fave of all time. Anyone who did not enjoy it has no soul; I mean it.
Thanks for your comments! In a world of diverse people and views, some gave it a thumbs down, including two people within hours of posting. But many more like it.
Ces superbes notes nous amènent si loin dans un univers ou il fait bon rêver !
Merci pour cette belle sonorité , un enchantement .Bravo !
Merci Beaucoup!!
Semplicemente stupendo!!!!!! Grazie
Grazie per i vostri commenti!
I was going to record this at one point. But you nailed it so much that there's almost no point. Fantastic job, every little detail is there. There's some good version out there but they all ruin specific elements that should never be missing. But yours has all that Vangalisy goodness.
Your comments mean a great deal and keep me motivated to keep at it. Thanks so much!
Beautiful rendition, an amazing track, incredible talent you have, along with our great friend vangelis
Thanks for your beautiful comments!
Listening to this again.... absolutely superb!!!!!!
Thanks so much! I love covering Vangelis' music. Are there any others that you think I should try to try to work on?
Thanks for playing this tune. Your interpretation is almost perfect. I think that the master would be proud of you. Greetings from France !
Merci! I wish Vangelis could have seen my videos, but I don't think he did much online.
Que descanse en paz el Sr. Vangelis
I must say, High hopes my friend. I hear the beauty not being marooned... I'm very happy to know the quality in joy for music still makes its round for younger generations to hear these days
Thanks for your comments! I do hope that the wonderful music of Vangelis lives on and continues to be discovered by new generations.
je ferme les yeux et je rêve, merci pour cette belle interprétation
Merci
Un' esecuzione impeccabile!!!! Sei stato eccellente!!! Grazie di questa tua performance!!!
Grazie mille!
After having watched some of your videos, only thing I can say is that your talent and passion for music is absolutely phenomenal. This is not the typical music channel where covers are made. Your performances have something beyond.
Thank you very much indeed for such kind comments! I missed your wonderful comments until just now; I was visiting my daughter in Asia when you wrote them. Thanks so much.
Great stuff. Vangelis created magic. Its time for me to play more piano, just no substitute for it.
He did indeed create magic! Yes; it's time well spent and can heal.
What a wonderful rendition. You gave me goose-bumps!
That means a lot. Thank you!
A beautiful rendition of the song. Well done and thank you for sharing.
Many thanks!
Thank you so much for this! From start to finish I couldnt stop listening, it was like experiencing this piece for the first time again. Thank you.
Thanks so much for saying so!
I was not sure anybody could replicate such gigantic enormous burst of talent,from the immortal greek, now i see his artwork had impregnated the collective mind of humankind, and talents from all colors and backgrounds and ages will come from everywhere to try to keep alive that grandiosity of beauty that is the musical creatures of vangelis..thanks taurus tarkus from another lover of this genious work of art
Thanks for your comments. I hope his music lives on as you say.
Absolutely stunning!
Thanks so much!
Wow. So impressed and so well played. I literally grew up with Vangelis's music. I remember staying up late just so i could watch Cosmos and even then being captivated by it's soundtrack. My older brother had the Heaven and Hell album and i would frequently play it. I was hooked from that day on. Loved watching you play that piece, Memories of Green.
Thanks so much! You are lucky to have discovered such beautiful music at such a young age. I did not hear the music of Cosmos and Heaven and Hell until I was much older. Chariots of Fire was my first, followed by the equally magical Jon and Vangelis recordings.
Poucas vezes vi alguém ser melhor que o mestre. Parabéns por essa versão impecável de um clássico do Vangelis.
Obrigada!
And the egg hatched...
Beautiful performance. This movie will always be close to my heart
Many Thanks!
@TaurusTarkus You're very welcome. You did a superlative job. I honestly can't tell the difference between this and the soundtrack save the absence of the beep-boo-beep soundtrack effects.
Thanks! As with my other Vangelis covers, I went through it very slowly to try to get the notes right. For this one I had a transcription to start with, but they usually have mistakes. For something like Blade Runner Blues, I had nothing to work with, and that one is quite long.
@@TaurusTarkus Did you do it because you are a fan of the movie or Vangelis or something else? In any case, great job.
Like many other people, I discovered Vangelis via Chariots of Fire and later his amazing work with Jon Anderson. I listened to that music a lot in high school, and as a keyboardist, I felt like Vangelis was performing a work of magic. How did he ever get his keyboards to sound so organic and musical? My parents did not take me to rated R movies, and so I did get to see Blade Runner for a while, even though I was a big fan of Harrison Ford. When I did see it, I think it went over my head a bit. Perhaps I was so blown away by the music that I couldn't focus on and appreciate the depth of the themes of the film until later. Blade Runner is my favorite work/score/album by Vangelis, and happily UA-cam allows me to share my love of the music with those of you who appreciate it.
Un tema escandalosamente hermoso. Quedo casi sin plabras. Tu interpretacion Taurus hace que al escucharlo solo piense en Sean Young con sus pequeñas lagrimas en sus mejillas y su conocimiento de que no era humana. Realidad pura y triste. Muchas Felicilitaciones compadre
Muchas, muchas gracias.
Sublime, la interpretación. La música te transporta a momentos inolvidables de tú vida.
En efecto. Música como esta puede ser mágica para transportarnos. ¡Gracias por tus comentarios! Espero que también disfrutes de mis otras versiones de Vangelis.
I loved the etheric and cosmic touch you added to your version ! it approachs to the Blade Runner movie.Greetings from Brazil !
That means a lot. My sister-in-law in from Brazil. I used to do a lot of jiu jitsu from your country as well. Thanks!
Wonderfully, you have played, this wonderful piece! God bless you!
Thanks so much!
What a heartful rendition!
Many Thanks! I hope you enjoy my others by Vangelis.
More than beautiful, sir!!!!! xxxx
Thanks so much Evan! Please check out my others by Vangelis.
