Peter Gabriel understood the assignment when Martin Scorsese recruited him for the soundtrack. Like basically, "It's the crucifixion but instead of a tragedy it's the victory of life over death. The victory of love over despair, good over evil and humanity over cruelty. Think you can put all that into four minutes and four seconds for me, Pete?"
It was really great ending, 1st time I watched it I didn’t fully get it so I watched it again and it was truly one of the best interpretations. It really focused on the esoteric and strangeness of the story.
Ironic that the one movie the Christians hated and called blasphemy accurately depicted the victory took place on the Cross and not after during the Resurrection.
The film and its wonderful soundtrack definitely gave me more a profound appreciation of Jesus Christ than all my years raised going to Catholic school.
Brilliant, after all these years I'm still captivated by this piece. This music together with the last shot of the film is pure divine intervention. Scorsese even said that the last shot of the film was divine intervention.
During the credits I felt that this music made me much more friendly to the image of Jesus than any church I've ever been to. I don't believe in God but I believe in the beauty that spiritual experiences carry and this movie is a grand portrayal of that very deep and eternal quest for god.
May i humbly suggest to all the people leaving comments go see Moses Pendleton's dance group MOMIX's version of the PASSION. Ir has one of the debate from the movie and is somewhere beyond beautiful.
The track starts with female ululuation, something to signify strong emotions in the middle east, usually at a wedding or a funeral. Such a perfect opening to a song signifying the death of Jesus either as a sorrow of a proclaimation of joy.
Yeah, I kinda took that sound, which is admittedly frightening the first time you hear it, to be the sound of angels rejoicing. You don't really know what you're hearing at first. Then the bells of Heaven chime in.
I'm an atheist but I did grow up studying the Bible. It's insane to me that this movie was so villanized by a lot of christians. I think this is the most accurate and mature depiction of the gospel that's ever been made.
HanoverFiste3 as an open minded Catholic i would agree with you 100%! this movie (and novel) saved me from my crisis of faith and showed a whole other Christ that was believable and flawed just like the rest of us. i would rank this film as the definitive movie about Christ
Javier, so a faith in a flawed Christ is more worthwhile than a perfect redeemer? If Christ was anything less than the unblemished "lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world", then our faith is futile, since we would still be in our sins. A morally compromised Christ is no Christ at all, and certainly not one that is worthy of worship, devotion, or faith. If Christ was no more than a human being, he is not our Saviour or our Lord, and he is unable to deal with the sin problem that pervades all of us. Faith in a purely human messiah is worthless. We might as well give it all up in that case because it offers nothing but another failed Jewish Messiah, who, at best taught a few wise things here and there, but is ultimately of little more significance than Judas the Galilean or any of the other Messianic pretenders. I have to ask you though, if you're really convinced of this, what accounts for the belief in his resurrection to glory and immortality and the belief that he was the Son of God? What brought this belief about in your view, if not the his resurrection?
If you hate the thought of Jesus being so flawed, than what's the point in having the pleasures of emotions? It's not like your making things easier by not questioning these things.
This piece is astounding in the context of the movie which depicts a more perfect sacrifice. Why do some Christians get upset over the idea that the human part of Christ could be tempted. He was tempted in the desert according to the gospels.
as a christ-lover i loved that movie too; much more than the overly-perfect Jesus from the Passion of the Christ! the human part is what makes christ such a unique deity!
It’s a great piece . Love the way it starts out the bells are beautiful I love listening to bells ringing out. The most beautiful bells ringing out was at Diana funeral at Westminster Abby. They went on for ever, so beautiful. I grew up listening to Peter Gabriel in the 80s. This track is beautiful one of my favourites. ⭐️💜
JOHN 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whoeverso liveth and believeth in me shall never die". HE HAS RISEN!!!!!
I love this so much this gives me hope because even though it’s sad because Jesus Christ died on the cross he was not afraid and knew that his message of love would continue on even when he was in heaven.
Wow. Just Wow! Never knew a longer, slightly of different version of this song existed! This album is STILL one of my top favorite albums of all time. Must get this movie! WHY isn't this longer version on the soundtrack as well?!
I don’t understand the hate on this movie. As Catholic myself there isn’t really a problem in this movie. It’s just a “what-if” movie about Jesus’ life.
These last famous words from Jesus-Christ, meaning a lot of things for me like doing the best you can in your life, empathy and hope. It Is Accomplished (Everything is done) "Everything is done" WIKI means: Let us especially observe the last word of Jesus just before he expires: "Everything is done"; this means that the redemption of the world was complete (John 17: 4). There is in these words the feeling of a great victory, for in succumbing the Savior triumphs and his death will be eternal life for millions of souls. The phrase "Everything is done" means that God's decisions about Jesus' suffering are now fulfilled. In that simple sentence, all of the Old Testament prophecies regarding the suffering of the Messiah were fulfilled. “When Jesus had taken the vinegar, he said: Everything is done. And, lowering his head, he gave up the spirit. (John 19:30)
Kazanzakis chose to portray Judas as the only disciple with the love and loyalty capable of making such a damnable action as betraying his friend. Basically the only one with the strength of character to do what his friend needed to be done rather than the 'easy' choice. Moving stuff.
I bought this album for the cover art, framed it, and put it on my wall after seeing coiled snakes and experiencing tingling like Jesus in the movie. This song, movie, and album art kept me optimistic during a strange and confusing time.
Some artist just have a grip - Human emotion, human spirit, human life.
The ear piercing sound and the next notes are such achievement... The sound layers off into a simplicity that is only understood by the ones who search deep inside themselves. It is worth the pain and suffering. Death leads to rebirth.
Something beyond the heart and the soul. At some moment in time - You will understand it And when you do Remember it Pass it on And Never Never Never - Let It Go
I always saw Dafoe's Jesus as being representative of all humankind, and that the main challenge of the story was man's problem of remaining human and toiling life upon earth or becoming more than human overcoming ourselves.
You have been more than helpful Sri. I can tell that you are a lover of knowledge like me. I recall trilling as something I couldn't do in high school when I was learning Spanish. I can do it now, 20 years later! I will look up vocal trilling--thank you and take care.
Isaiah 52:15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for [that] which had not been told them shall they see; and [that] which they had not heard shall they consider.
Does anyone know the name of the vocal technique they’re using at the beginning? I’ve heard it from other places (mostly at Ethiopian church services) but never know how they perform that type of singing, undulating their voice and whatnot.
How can we know what went through Christ's head? We were not there. If he was fully human;he was fallable to ALL of humankind's flaws. And why that is offensive? I don't know. Perhaps he DID ask Judas to betray him. One way or another HE orchestrated it; maybe the other four were doing doing a mudslinging job on Judas. Maybe Judas was Christ's best friend and they HATED that! The Gospels FOUR differing accounts of the same events; one of which, has the writer claiming Christ loved HIM best
Thank you so much for that intelligent explanation! I love that sound and wish I could do it myself. Do you know what any of the cultures you mentioned call the vocalization? I would like to research more about it:-)
Rentaghost76, well, he was part of God's plan. Nothing escapes God, not even the demons. He does not puppeteer evil, no, but His hand is over all things, within His jurisdiction. So yes, I am convinced that Judas, while seemingly not obeying Hebraic law or seeking God, was part of the eternal design. Having Judas was a must. In the new heaven/earth, when ALL is restored through Christ, He might return to the One God. (I don't believe an eternal hell or hell as a "place")
Reading between the many, many lines, judas felt betrayed that he was not jesus' favourite...bit it goes much deeper than that...read 'The white Godddess' for a deeper explanation.
Where is this version from? The throat music at the beginning lasts a lot longer than on "Passion", and it's missing a short horn intro. Is this taken directly from the film?
LOL! Yeah it could be taken for that too. But I've heard tribal women make that sound. I don't know what it is or what it's called. I believe there is a scene in this movie (TLTOC) with a woman doing it. This isn't a audio Rorschach test, but I hear an otherworldly sound...
a perfect song to leave this world.
Hallellujah for your opinion.
Peter Gabriel understood the assignment when Martin Scorsese recruited him for the soundtrack. Like basically, "It's the crucifixion but instead of a tragedy it's the victory of life over death.

This kind of music gives you a deeper appreciation of Christ than every preacher in the world.
This comment wins UA-cam.
To be honest the movie made me appreciate Christ much more than bibble
Amen

Brilliant, after all these years I'm still captivated by this piece. This music together with the last shot of the film is pure divine intervention. Scorsese even said that the last shot of the film was divine intervention.
This track is one of the masterpieces of film music.
Quite possibly the best soundtrack ever.
Peter Gabriel at his best with GENESIS and this.
"IT IS ACCOMPLISHED! .....It is accomplished."

None of the debate.
I'm an atheist but I flipping loved this movie. And this track is just perfect.
YES THIS SONG WAS INSTRUMENTAL
It's a nice community here! I enjoyed reading those comments.

@@dars5229 You totally missed the whole point.
“Heaven’s like a wedding, and everyone is invited.”
This was our entrance song to our wedding reception in 2001. It is ever uplifting to me. God be praised for Gabriel and his music...
I love you Gregory Bretz. And It's Robert Jones wanting to love you.

Too late probably, but the gosspells told the Agony in Getzemani guarden, and his final wordos when is crucifixed.

Great album. Listened to it over 2,000 times and never tire of it. The greatest film soundtrack of all time for me.
Much better than the album version; this is the version that plays over the end credits. +++++
Matthew Allen Newland I prefer this version to the album one.
I believe Peter Gabriel was truly INSPIRED when he composed this sound track.
Huh?
JOHN 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whoeverso liveth and believeth in me shall never die".
HE HAS RISEN!!!!!
Amennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
Amen!!!!!!
The autor of the melody is Peter Gabriel, a genius!
The drumming of Billy Cobham on this is amazing, not that I'd have expected anything less from him
Even though I’m Muslim, I really liked this song. It’s very impressive.
Allahuakbar
muslims believe in jesus (isha) aswell, so what's your point?
@@leonardoflorentin Because the track itself comes from a fundementally chtistian movie
Peace be upon you, brother ☝️
The most respectful and impressive film about Jesus that I have ever seen!

Undoubtedly one of the most epic tracks ever created!
My heart beats faster everytime i hear it
Wow. Just Wow! Never knew a longer, slightly of different version of this song existed! This album is STILL one of my top favorite albums of all time. Must get this movie! WHY isn't this longer version on the soundtrack as well?!
well if that isn't the sound of the spirit leaving the body...
different opinion, it's the sound of resurrection: joy "ululation" (zaghārīt) and bells. ciao
I don’t understand the hate on this movie. As Catholic myself there isn’t really a problem in this movie. It’s just a “what-if” movie about Jesus’ life.

What a great movie
These last famous words from Jesus-Christ, meaning a lot of things for me like doing the best you can in your life, empathy and hope.
It Is Accomplished (Everything is done)
"Everything is done"
WIKI means:

It's not scary. It's ululation, a vocal women practice in western asia.
I love this track and really enjoyed the film. Thanks for uploading!

Jeez that singing at the beginning is terrifying
Isaiah 52:15
So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for [that] which had not been told them shall they see; and [that] which they had not heard shall they consider.

I think it is more Moroccan
I really want to know about this, too. Did you find out?
Maybe the best short piece of music behind ava maria!!
That is how I felt when I accomplished my Masters's thesis.
lol
Hah, the exact same reason why I came listen this today.
Lore & Roque, bad and horrorific argentinian artists, both never can overcome this jewel of the art.
And really accomplished cause we are dam it us point finger over us and finally cruxifixed for them!!
Hi everyone. From which album is this track extracted? The version included in the official OST of the movie is different from this track. Thanks.
I think it's the remix from the film credits
The album il Passion by Peter Gabriel and the arrangements are a little different but the tracks are the OST of The Last Temptation
I agree, exponential growth occurs when you drop your expectations of being a Christian or absence thereof to 0.
eerie music. it's like the music that never made it into silent hill.
Great song, where did you get it exactly? Because when I downloaded the mp3 from Amazon it is a version that is on 2:45 long, and not as good.
Qué emoción soy el Like n°1000 (snif!)🙃. Esto si que es música para mis oídos
nice soundtrack. :D
Where could I find this version? It's amazing.
Jesus crucifixion was very sad. But the ending of the last temptation of christ, Jesus turns back to his own cross and died the music was scary.
this is a awesome track! bravo peter
Will b my farewell track!❤

Fascinating comment/reflection. Can you refer me to some reading on that? I'm intrigued.
This sounds slightly different than the version on my copy of the album. Odd.
Great Song!!
Jesus!

Nothing would be more cool than this song to start play in my time of dying. :DD or at the end of the world :D
gran melodia

my god ! scorcese you are the fucking amazing director ! willem the fucking actor !! love that movie
Just for the record, Peter Gabriel used Nusrat Fateh Ali in the soundtrack of Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Last Temptation of Christ’.
this track its different to the album where i can find the rest of this version?
This is the actual soundtrack version. End credits of the DVD/Blu-Ray.

Judas is such a mysterious figure - was he actually a good guy, working undercover?
