Seems dumb but this movie brought me out of depression in college. The line "And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?" was my motto. I felt like Chuck on that island, but I brought myself back. And now I'm graduated in a full time job. And I've found myself back on that island. I am listening to this to bring myself back again.
It’s only you who can inspire people through your words, like me a 67 year old man who you encourage to press on! Persevere my. Friend and live in the moment!
As Mark Twain said, “the two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why”…… Never stop trying to find out why, you are not alone in this world and struggle.
I want to thank the musicians who ate, slept and devoted their lives to their instruments, what you hear is countless hours of practice, putting so much feeling in their work. Without you this wouldn’t have touched so many lives.
thank you!! I didn't play in this music, , but I hoped my music has at least touched people in some way. even if to lift thier spirits for a few minutes or to relate to the sadness expressed through music.
As I listen to this song, I think about my wife who has suffered brain damage from a fall in our home due to a high Covid-19 fever. When I visit her it seems that she is somewhere else but in the moment with me at her side. I cry all the time. I feel her pain as she lies in bed for over two months. She loved this movie and this song. Please come back to me, Trudy? From your loving husband - Sal Caradonna
She has healed and is now home with me and my son and we are taking care of her still a long way to go to get her back 100% but the goodness has started.
@@vampirehunter2698 Sal, music has the most extraordinary capacity to heal the brain. Play her favorite music all the time and try to get her to sing or dance along. Please keep us posted ok?
I saw this movie four times in one week just to hear this play. I was the last one in the theater to leave. You can hear the waves ever so slightly wash up on the shore. This sound does something to me spiritually. My body reacts - it’s a wonderful experience.
Just sent this to my adult son who has been estranged for a couple of years now. I pray that he returns before it’s too late. I’m 74 and have leukemia among other health issues. I’m hoping that this music reaches and moves his heart.
I’m so sorry that you are going through this. My son is also estranged. What I wouldn’t do to hold him in my arms. I’ve never known such excruciating pain. I’m sorry for anyone that feels this.
Probably one of the most moving scenes ever in a film. When he looks back at the island as it dissappears whilst sitting on the raft, the island that kept him alive, simply beautiful .
I agree. To me, he's looking at what was his prison and so glad to be leaving but at the same time, as you said, it's what changed and saved him him and kept him alive.
This movie taught me about loss as a kid. I always hated that he didn't get to be with his wife when I was younger. Now I see the lesson is about facing loss and persevering. What a great movie
I first watched it when I was 9. At that time I understood what happened but couldn't comprehend the emotional ordeals that Chuck went through. When I rewatched it for the first time at 11, I cried 5 times throughout the movie. The first time I cried rewatching it, Chuck was kissing his girlfriend. When I watched that, remembering how in the end he never got to be with her even though she was the thing that kept his will to live on the island I really couldn't help myself.
He didn’t face loss because the whole film indicates his destiny wasn’t with Kelly anyway. The island gave him a new path with the woman at the end. She was his destiny, not Kelly.
"....And I've lost her all over again." Makes me weep so hard when we this movie. Chuck never stopped loving Kelly even through the pain, the starvation, and the misery. All he could think about was her. Yet, even he knows he had to give her up in true love. "One day, the sun will rise! We have to keep breathing!"
"I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive. Somehow. I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope. And all my logic said that I would never see this place again. So that's what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And one day my logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I'm back. In Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass... And I've lost her all over again. I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly. But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?"
Was Wilson Kelly? And when Wilson floats away it's Kelly going? That's what I've always figured. But that's an unforgettable line you posted. Thankyou.
p 28 He was referring to the photo of her that was in the pocket watch she gave him as a Christmas present, he sat it facing him while he slept so she was “always there”.
@@p28-e7j I think Wilson floating away was a symbolism of him returning back to civilization. Wilson was apart of the island and his companion that kept him alive. When it was time to go back home, everything that he found on the island faded away just like the island did when he got on the raft..
I first saw this movie 20 years ago. I nearly cried at the goodbye Wilson scene and for a long time thought it was the saddest/most powerful scene in the movie. Now 20 some years later, after rewatching, I have a different opinion. When Chuck manages to beat that final boss tide and is sailing away from the island and yells to himself that he made it and looks back at the island and the soundtrack kicks in for the first time, that moment bought me to tears because it was like finally making it past a hard/dull period in your life but looking back regardless how bad it was, you can't help but feel a bit nostalgic because for a while that was your life. The island was Chuck's home for 4 years. With the uncertainty of his future on the ocean, he knew that regardless of what happens he'll never return to that island again. And another scene was when he said in that monologue towards that end that he's sad he lost Kelly but was glad she was with him on the island. In times of loneliness we cling to whatever we can in order to gain some hope and strength to face the tides that await us. Overall I thought this movie was amazing and it will stick with me for as long as I'll live and I'm grateful that once in a while I'll come back to it hopefully as a better person.
When me and my wife buried our little boy in 2014, he was 17 weeks old. I vowed not to say goodbye ever again. I listened to this over and over. Still hurts to this day.
I don’t know you but I do so feel your sadness, I am so so very sorry for your loss. We never ever forget the loved ones that we lose, we just seem to get better at dealing with it, I hope you both find that strength together to keep moving forward.
I lost my 2 sons to drugs, 1st one 19 , the 2nd 24. This song breaks me in two parts. 💔. I look for strength to keep moving forward. I think of how final things are. I'll never have another chance to make things right, then my 10 year old grandson moved in with me, now I focus on keeping him safe, it's like it was meant this way. I see new life when I wanted to give up. This song opened my cold heart back up. Everyday I'm working through it. I miss my sons horribly, but now I have new reason to go on. In memory of my 2 sons who have passed. Even though my heart is broken, I find strength to push each day.
George, your message was so strong the only replies could only be ones of encouragement. We are speechless, all of us. I lost a daughter and now are a so much more a part of her children’s lives, 9 and 5 years old. They bring something new in our world, from those that have been lost. Hope lives. It is what we do with it that counts. Carpe diem is the best way to make it mean something I think. They are so young and impressionable. We can still give the good they will remember. Be well.
My friend, I have three sons and a daughter. I can't imagine how you have made it. No father should see what you have seen. May God bring you true and lasting peace and, if at all possible, fulfillment.
I think what people don't realize is when he looks back at the island as his raft carries him away and this song plays and then when he loses Wilson and this song plays those are pivotal moments to him letting go of his former self. Wilson and the island were the last remnants of his old self...they were what he occupied his time with and where he lived just trying to survive and live another day just hoping that he could go back home to his fiance some day. But he learned that time can steal all in life no matter how strong you are and how good of character you have within you...time can steal many things from you. Apart from the swanky job and cool clothes, the family dinners with 20 family members, his fiance, his bravado as a man, Chuck Noland was a survivor stranded on a deserted island and reinvented himself into a man that appreciated the more simple things in life and had to learn to live without love.
Das ist so schön geschrieben und so treffend beschrieben. Der Film zeigt sehr deutlich wie sehr das Schicksal einem herausfordern kann. Was unser Herrgott auch immer für eine Prüfung uns auferlegt. Wenn wir es richtig machen gehen wir immer neu und gestärkt heraus.
I lost my wife a few months ago. It hurts everyday knowing our dreams together ended when she died. But one thing I’ve learned through everything that has happened is that IM still here. I have to keep going. I’m at that crossroad of life. I don’t know where the road wil take me. All I know is I’ll always carry her memory with me as I travel it. “Tomorrow the sun will rise”
Sorry about your loss, man! I hope you will find love and happiness in her cherished memories and in other human and divine relationships. God bless you!
Who ever sees & reads this comment Thank You for reading this 😢 and God Bless you. 12/10/1964-6/1/2019 54. Grand Rapids Michigan My Dad Died on June 1st 2019 and From Angiosarcoma a Rare Cancer that happens in the blood vessels (1out of 1,000,000 get it Usually at 70 and up but can happen at earlier ages) and can happen anywhere from the body and it happened as a Tumor mass in his right lung and eventually went to his left lung it caused Alot of pressure on his lungs and was causing fluid to build up constantly-to cough and hack up clear fluid like saliva. We thought it was Bronchitis so he took medicine for it(1week) and we saw that it really wasn't working so on one day he got mad and put a hole in the wall in his bedroom. He had been suffering this for about Four Months since all the way through June 😢 and we just didn't know that eventually it was cancer in his lungs. The Doctors Tried Everything they could do to keep him alive by doing Radiation Therapy cause they couldn't do surgery (it was too big) So they tried two treatments of it and the cancer wasn't reacting to the radiation by then he wasn't capable of doing Chemotherapy. So they put a Ventilator and other things on him and had him on 💯Full life support to Inhale and exhale from the machines that were keeping him alive. Aventually we had a family Meeting on June 1st to talk about his results and further Progressive treatment if possible but eventually they said this is Imminent to his Health to get any better from this point on. Soo many people were Praying for a Miracle 🙏 that he could make it baby step after baby step. It emotionaly shocked me to hear this so blunt in a Kind of way even though they tried to sugar coat the Evaluation. I'll end it here to not keep lengthening this comment too much. I'm 20 and have Alot of life too live without him at my side He will be Severally Missed untill I meet him in Heaven again The last thing I said was "I'll see ya in Heaven". I Extremely Appreciate anyone that has read my comment. Please Like and reply if you can Thank you, God Bless you and May the Force be with you.👍✌️
Honestly, out of the many years I've been on UA-cam, I've seen so many comment sections and this has to be the most genuinely emotional of them all. It's not all just tasteless comedy or condescending arguments, it's full of people who actually feel down to Earth and relatable, people who share their sorrow in loss. Bless you all for being apart in this wonderful discussion.
The comment section for "That Next Place" by Thomas Newman is the same. I'm not sure if you've ever gone to that one, but it's great too. The song stirs the same emotions as this one too.
@@javiermarsans9655"Jehovah" is a misunderstanding of the Hebrew YHWH, with vowel points added for how to speak the Name of the Lord, since speaking the tetragrammaton out loud was forbidden.
Some ppl are just waterproof when it comes to really beautiful things in life like this extraordenary masterpiece and its overwhelming dignity. You cannot teach those ppl any lessons, they will never learn anything but being bullies to others.
The fact that this movie is 20 years old (7th december 2020) makes this music even more sad :( This movie is an underrated masterpeice that should never be forgotten!
This music reminds me of all the people I have lost in my life. To those of you who read this please always be a good friend to the friends you have and tell them how they are amazing because you never know when your gonna say your final goodbye to them.
I will turn 66 years old in a few days. I have said goodbye many times to those I was close to and not so close to as well. That is why I don’t relish the thought of living into my 80’s or longer. Everyone I’ve known and loved would be no more. One still has to keep breathing because tomorrow the sun will rise.
I so agree with you! I would very much like to welcome you to have a listen to some of Thomas Newman's music. His music for Shawshank Redemption is outstanding. Also, this reminds me a lot of Thomas Newman themes for Meet Joe Black (underrated film). The work Newman did in the film Passengers is breathtaking as well.
I had a painful breakup some years back! We loved each other! But certain circumstances hindered our progress! She came to my work with her new husband! And from a distance she mouthed the words “I Love You” I smiled back! The scene when Kelly runs after Chuck in the rain! And she tells him “I knew you were alive Your the love of my life”! Powerful stuff!!!
It is the best indeed! The others good, some extremely good (philadelphia and forrest gump), but this man could stand alone for almost all the movie without make you blink once. No Tom Hanks movie makes you think about the sense of life like this.
This is the kind of song that sets the tone for a moment of divine intervention in a world crashing down and falling apart all around you. It's easy to lose sight of what is important in life when all seems lost and the courage to keep moving forward is like a dimly lit candle about to be blown out at the slightest brush of wind. But then you see a little break in the clouds and a tiny ray of light seeps thru. Suddenly you find yourself moving toward it, and you wonder how a broken vessel such as yourself could possibly be drawn to a little light after spending what seems like eternity in your own darkness. Suddenly you realize as you get nearer to that light your spirit is drawn to it, where it has always yearned to be. Once you find yourself out of the darkness and into the light, the weight of the sadness, anger, hurt, bitterness, confusion, and everything that landed you in the very depths of hell no longer linger in your heart and mind. It's the sweetest feeling.
Im dying my gf of 14 years is moving on im not ready we have 2 kids i didnt want to separate im not ready i cant live without her. I cant see the light im so scared but i cant kill myself i have to be here for my kids idk what to do this is the only hope ive seen i hope i hope this is true
It ranks right there with dances with wolves..out of africa..and somewhere in time...I so admire the composer's that write these haunting masterpieces..
This song brings tears to my eyes, then as the piece progresses.. hope and joy. I love this one. "The sun will rise and who knows what the tide will bring"
Went through a heartbreaking divorce a few years ago. If there is a movie that describes tradegy, accepting what you cant control, overcoming hopelessness, and starting a new life. This movie is it.
I dont want to sound lame but I played this music in the background while I delivered a farewell speech for my best friend of 24 years who passed away from cancer. This piece of music is truly something. The emotions, the memories and the way your body and mind feels are all connected. They fluctuated from happiness, sadness, pain and grief. Life is definitely short. Your mind shifts knowing your best friend is gone and the memories that tie to the good times of what you remember with that person can no longer be shared by those who did not live it. RIP Tim M.
I know it was a year ago but I'm reading this comment now. This is such a beautiful song and I'm sure it was the perfect song for that day. Sorry for your loss.
makes me think of my friend who passed away a little over a year ago to alcoholism..I would think he was fighting depression too...I hope you know my heart hurts for you Jake. You were a great person and sometimes misunderstood as some of us are but you had a good heart and it shown through in all the good you did. We all miss you dearly whether you know it or not. I wish so much things could have been better for him. It's rare that you get actual friends in life..at least for me it is.
Man, i always cry to this song... it touches my entire soul in a way i cannot explain. I think about my grandparents and how i miss them. They raised me since i was a little boy and trough my teenage years. Having losing them was for sure the hardest thing in my entire life... i was 15 years old back then and felt completely lost and hopeless, now i'm 25 and still crying them... and i think it will do it till the day i die. Also i think it's a way of honor and remember them, with joy and sadness. I remember my grandpa saying he still cries thinking of his mom, and he was 86 years old. Some people mean so much to us, the least we can do is remember them and what they mean to us. Moving forward doesn't mean you won't cry no more... that's beyond grief.
My grandfather told ne when I was approaching manhood, "you're not a man until you cry". I told my two boys that. I loved my grandfather, he and my dad were my heros. Im 71, and still cry at times.
You're not alone. I think of my Mum and Dad, and how much I miss them. I can't help but cry, but sometimes, in a funny way a good cry is cleansing, or a release. I love this song, but it makes me cry every time too.
Not enough people realize this type of music is the most uplifting, sad, powerful, beautiful music there is. How can you not feel something when you hear it? The White Whale Chant is another absolutely haunting piece. Look it up and enjoy 🙏🏽
Cant say enough of the feeling I had at the end of this movie, it reminded me of a time when my then wife whispered in my ear I love you, honestly the most sincere feeling I ever had and I never thought Id lose her to another man but I did. Then I lost her twice due to cancer, never was able to say anything or even that I loved her. Such a empty feeling she meant everything to me. I wish sometimes I could be with her.
My girl kitty Lushie passed away March 25 this year, I know what you mean, I miss her so much. I would watch...........I love kitties so much.......Meow from 🇨🇦........❤️❤️🐱🐱
It's significant that the movie's title is "Cast Away," not "Castaway." It's not about being a castaway. It's about casting away, letting go. Everything Hanks does and suffers is to prepare him for the moment when he will meet and love the woman on the angel-branded spread in Texas. She is his destiny, not Kelly, the Helen Hunt character, the woman he loved and lost. She, like so many people in this world, are meant to be with us only for so long. At one point, he said he was sad to lose her but glad she was there with him (in spirit) on that island. Recognizing this, he can go forward.
This song reminds me of a break up with a gal I thought I was going to marry. I was devastated!!!! I listened to this song and it made me the saddest I had ever been.... I listened and listened and questioned why........ I am truly grateful it happened, for years later I met my wife and had our beautiful children. Today, this song only brings me a sad memory but much joy for going through it to see the light ... Life will go on ! Be blessed to have loved !!
Billy. I cant begin to tell you what your comment means to me. I'm at that point right now in my life! But I dont see the happy ending you have. I just wanted to say thanks for your comment and I wish you and your family the best.
Weird man I just broke up with my girlfriend who I had been dating for 3 years and thought I was going to marry her... it hurts alot. But I hope I see the light like you did.
I also when through a hard break up that cut my soul and felt so one that year. I saw this movie and gave my soul hope and sadness. I cried so much. I kept breathing and knew someday I was gunna catch a tied. Now here I am with ice in my cup all over again and in love all over again. Her name is Veronica and I love her so much. May the Lord bless us for the rest of our lives together.
I was a projectionist at a cinema when this movie came out, Our manager ordered boxes of tissues and had the usherettes go around handing them out throughout the movie. She was one badass manager, everyone adored her. Her husband had some of this music played at her funeral. R.I.P. Joan. Thank you, Spirit Of Orchestral Music.
Damn I wish I lived near your theatre at the time, almost nobody in the cinema business has that kind of dedication to their job anymore unfortunately.
Can I just say I really love the oboe in this song? It’s a beautiful, emotionally powerful instrument that a lot of people don’t know about. It really carries this piece, wouldn’t be the same without it.
This movie is a lifesaver for so many people. It helps us find a reason to keeping going forward. TURN THE PAGE!! FOR never know what TOMORROW holds for us. KEEP BREATHING!!!!!!! THESE TWO WORDS ARE SO POWERFUL!!!!! So many people need to see a story like this and realize how important it is to NEVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED!!!!!!! "NO ONE IS GUARANTEED TOMORROW. Tell people that you need to forgive THAT YOU "Forgive them" Tell those YOU need to say I LOVE YOU "I LOVE YOU" DO it today It might be your last chance FOR not one of us KNOWS how much is left of our life. Example WHEN a person is laying on their deathbed and only has BUT a few breaths left on this earth. The only thing you will remember most of all is all the people you should have loved when all you did was hate them. All the people you NEEDEd to make amends with but now it's to late. TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED!!!!!
Just watched Cast Away for the first time and I’m bawling. I know what its like to know someone have been dead for a long time then suddenly show up. Knowing there’s nothing you can do except move on no matter how hard it hurts.
I am 19 so I basically never heard about this movie before. maybe a couple of times but never paid attention to it. just switched to HBO and left it in the background while doing some homework, but coincidentally heard the Soundtrack of this classic. needed to go to UA-cam and... listening to the OST evokes a very strong mixture of feelings like melancholy and sadness Even when I’m actually not feeling that way. I need to watch this movie right now
The Cast Away main theme is one of the most beautiful and moving pieces of music I've ever listened too. If you can listen to this piece and not feel the hope and despair of the main character (Tom Hanks), then you may not be human. Alan Silvestri is highly overlooked as one of our greatest composers.
I'm going through a horrible yet heart-breaking relationship that I saw my whole future with this person, but now is gone! I feel lonely and abandoned at times. And every time I listen to this soundtrack, it reminds me to keep going and keep breathing. Life's unpredictable challenges come and go through all kids of shapes and format and dynamic. You'll never know what the life may bring today or tomorrow. The only thing we have control over is our attitude.
תדע שכל בוקר עם זריחת החמה את מקבל מתנה לשינוי להבנה לתת ללב שלך חופש לאהוב להכיר ומקווה מאוד שמצאת אהבה חדשה ומישהו אוהב אותך כי אם אתה מאזין ליצירת המופת הזו אתה אגם רגיש ומלא באהבה בהצלחה❤❤❤
Whoever wrote this ( I didn’t look it up) and performed this… I just want to thank you. Sincerely. Not a bunch of words. Just thank you, You have no idea what you’ve done here. Thank you so much.
This is arguably the best movie Tom ever made. Mainly because unlike most movies that tell a specific story this is a story we can all relate to and learn from. In this life at some point we will experience loss. Sometimes the loss is a divorce, death, a career or physical loss and sometimes we can lose ourselves. This music is a doorway that opens up stories of this in our lives. I can tell you this from personal experience. I was a military aviator and had a wife, 3 kids and brand new house. I was sent on a mission and it was a mission that went horribly wrong. I made it back and eventually got back to my house. I soon found out that it was an empty house and my kids laughter was gone. The military knowing how the mission went sent me to a shrink. They said I had some PTSD and permanently grounded me and I soon also found myself reading divorce papers. The military being grounded from flying then told me I was getting discharged even though I still had 6 years left on my contract. They pushed me out into the street. One day I was sleeping in a brand new 4 bedroom house and another day I found myself sleeping in my van. My soon to be x brother in law returned from IRAQ and was found hanging at his house. It was this movie that reminded me to keep breathing and keep going because you never know what the tide will bring in. So that’s what I did and I started my own business and recently bought a house. If you’re in a dark place keep breathing, keep going because you never know when, what or who the tide will bring in.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard and I'm a huge lisfener to real music. The theme seems to embody all the yearning, sadness, tragedy and hope possible. Thankyou Alan Silvestra. A masterpiece.
For all who are fighting with themselves, do not lose hope, one day you will find yourself and it will be the biggest relief in your life, one day everything will be fine, I struggle with depression and anxiety every day, I am afraid I will be alone for the rest of my life and this beautiful music gives me strength for the next day, for anyone who reads this you are not alone, I like you and I wish you all the best, and when it is worst for you look at the sun and all the shadows will fall for you! God bless you
Recently watched the movie again after some twenty years. Didn’t remember peeling onions the first time. That rainy, emotion packed scene at the end just turned on the waterworks. This music so beautifully captures the film from start to end.
Brings me to ugly tears every time. What a gorgeous sad beautiful emotional piece. The music, the fact that we sit here and mourn a volleyball. Just incredible all around
I'm no movie buff, but this is my favorite movie of all time. I can't get over how silent the movie is (80 minutes of on-screen silence in total). However, when it's not silent, it's playing this beautiful orchestral piece. Such phenomenal camerawork, acting, directing, and music.
There was me thinking I'd perhaps read too much into the meaning of this movie. Reading the comments here brings great comfort, I can see how deeply others were moved by it and its soundtrack. The island for me is a symbol of purgatory or the doldrums that we find ourselves in after one form of tragedy or another, and although I advocate for fighting through your pain, sometimes you have to wait for the tide to come in, you awake one day and the pain isn't gone but you feel different. The lost time that is represented by his life on the island is analogous to the grieving process we all must endure at some point. When people say of films and literature that it speaks of the human condition, I used to feel clueless as to what they meant, but now I see. There is no way certain pains can be redeemed in this life, there's losses that are just losses. What a beautiful testament this comment section is to humanity, and to the perseverance we show in the face of blunt tragedy.
I saw this film when I was in the deepest sadness. I had prepared the certification test that I thought I should do, but it was really hard for me to realize I'm not the one who can pass the test. Endless depression came to me and I felt like I was being alone in the island. Now I'm preparing for the other test, and I'm sure this movie saved my life at that time. Thanks Tom Hanks and the director from a student from South Korea.
A few seconds into the tune and my tears immediately began to roll down my cheeks. I didn't think nothing particular, a loss or a memory just the sheer beauty of the music that captured me. The tenderness and softness of those strings or synth sounds whatever it is straight into my heart like a bullseye. Inevitable for me not to be moved by it. In forrest gumb there's a tune that is very similar to that one and it's also my favourite of the forrest gumb music score. The whole Forrest gumb soundtrack is definitely in the top five of all movie scores for me personally but that tune that sounds very similar to that one here is my favourite. I think it comes in the movie at the end after Baba, his mother and Jenny are all gone and Forrest somehow looks back at his life and gets the feeling that his life was a masterpiece and everything he did was all worth it and he earned all his sucsesses just by loving any situation and anyone and never gave up on it although he was mocked and ridiculed and bullied and let down by many. And when that score comes it is as if the heavens and the angels saying to forrest: well done son you have passed all the challenges. And at that moment because the music was so peaceful it felt like Forrest finally found the peace in his life that he longed for during the whole movie which portayed his whole life. That to me was a wonderful moment in the movie due to that music piece that reflected Forrest's emotional and mental state. And this piece here reminds me very much on that one. I know I said it already. 😊
Due to loss, struggles, things that life throws at you that you feel you can't handle. I've felt them, and suffered severe insomnia for years . Heard this. And I slept. Thank you.
On the island for years, no music, he sails away and this music begins......and then he looks back to the island as it fades away....and you can just see how much the island meant to him...his savior, his support....and how even what is dear to us must be released. Then he later lets the oar drift away. He lets himself be guided and has found submission. The movie is spiritual on so many levels.
Sometimes you feel like the world just casts you away to be alone, during that time you hold onto to something that will bring you back to the world but when you do come back the one thing that kept you going is no longer there because the world kept turning while you were gone and things changed so what do you do? Just keep breathing...
I happened to read your comment after one year. I do hope you will see my comment on your beautiful and most absorbing words you have written. They are very poetic and with deep meaning. Thank you Daine for your wonderful and meaningful words. I too enjoyed the music in the movie Cast Away. Bandula Jayawardene.
What a great message this movie had. To never give up or give in. Keep waking up every day. Keep breathing. There is always tomorrow. "And this too shall pass".
When I was a kid, I watched this movie many times. The loneliness of Tom Hank's charachter and his faith always made me fell inspired. This last couple of months, I realized I'm also lost in that island. I've listened to this song so many times, it's not Tom Hanks I see in my mind now. It's now my fear, my loneliness and my faith in the tide. Like a friend once told me, sometimes in life we find ourselves lost in an island, and we never know the means we need to have to get out of it. But, that's not a thing I need to do alone. And by then, I start to see that the island it's not so desert, and that the tide had already brought me the way out a long time ago. It's time to leave. Thanks to this friend, and thanks to my high school Professor for a sweet memory in witch I can go back if I may.
I think this theme is showing more than just staying alive it’s about finding meaning and purpose in even the most challenging and difficult circumstances.
I am sitting here and reading all those comments. And I am just gonna say something. Do you see what music has done to you?Look at this great thing that is called music, listen to it. Your hearts are open I can see them.

Seems dumb but this movie brought me out of depression in college. The line "And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?" was my motto. I felt like Chuck on that island, but I brought myself back. And now I'm graduated in a full time job. And I've found myself back on that island. I am listening to this to bring myself back again.
You can do it brother, work is sacred, be your communities keeper..will be hard times....they will pass
It’s only you who can inspire people through your words, like me a 67 year old man who you encourage to press on! Persevere my. Friend and live in the moment!
As Mark Twain said, “the two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why”…… Never stop trying to find out why, you are not alone in this world and struggle.
God bless you brother, We love you.
God bless you brother

Found god in jesus name brother 🙌🙏
I want to thank the musicians who ate, slept and devoted their lives to their instruments, what you hear is countless hours of practice, putting so much feeling in their work. Without you this wouldn’t have touched so many lives.
thank you!! I didn't play in this music, , but I hoped my music has at least touched people in some way. even if to lift thier spirits for a few minutes or to relate to the sadness expressed through music.
Jesus can help you ❤❤❤
A miracle has happened, my wife has made it home! Now the long rehab starts, but she is home.

My cat died. His soul brought me here today. I write a song about him on my UA-cam here, but nobody would watch.... Thankyou for this. 🐱 Meow.
As I listen to this song, I think about my wife who has suffered brain damage from a fall in our home due to a high Covid-19 fever. When I visit her it seems that she is somewhere else but in the moment with me at her side. I cry all the time. I feel her pain as she lies in bed for over two months. She loved this movie and this song. Please come back to me, Trudy? From your loving husband - Sal Caradonna
Sorry to hear that. Is she okay now?
What a sad post....please update as to her welfare now?
She has healed and is now home with me and my son and we are taking care of her still a long way to go to get her back 100% but the goodness has started.
@@vampirehunter2698 Sal, music has the most extraordinary capacity to heal the brain. Play her favorite music all the time and try to get her to sing or dance along. Please keep us posted ok?
our prayers are with you
I lost my mum to cancer this year, I’m broken. I miss her terribly! This tune hits all the heart strings.
Sorry for your loss
Hope you feeling better now ?
Elle ne sera jamais loin de vous
Dieu vous bénisse.
I’m so sorry…….rip
God bless you and her
I saw this movie four times in one week just to hear this play. I was the last one in the theater to leave. You can hear the waves ever so slightly wash up on the shore. This sound does something to me spiritually. My body reacts - it’s a wonderful experience.
Just sent this to my adult son who has been estranged for a couple of years now. I pray that he returns before it’s too late. I’m 74 and have leukemia among other health issues. I’m hoping that this music reaches and moves his heart.
I’m so sorry that you are going through this. My son is also estranged. What I wouldn’t do to hold him in my arms. I’ve never known such excruciating pain. I’m sorry for anyone that feels this.
My daughter returned after four years of being estranged don't give up keep praying God heals broken hearts remember the prodical.son
@@darleenpuffer8587 Amen!!!!
Don’t give up your love for your son, as the father of the lost son in the Bible. - All the best!
Probably one of the most moving scenes ever in a film. When he looks back at the island as it dissappears whilst sitting on the raft, the island that kept him alive, simply beautiful .
Couldn’t agree more
😢this and every scene from the movie brings a tear to my eyes
I agree. To me, he's looking at what was his prison and so glad to be leaving but at the same time, as you said, it's what changed and saved him him and kept him alive.
Because they used no music on the island then it hits you once he finally leaves ❤
Powerful scene
How can a single man compose the Predator Theme, and this theme as well?
Alan Silvestri is a GENIUS.
Sure is!!! 🌟
❤
And the Contact score!! ❤❤
The Lion and the Lamb have the same wonder creator.
The answer is simple. It’s because he’s doing and has done what he was meant to do on this planet
This movie taught me about loss as a kid. I always hated that he didn't get to be with his wife when I was younger. Now I see the lesson is about facing loss and persevering. What a great movie
Well said.
I first watched it when I was 9. At that time I understood what happened but couldn't comprehend the emotional ordeals that Chuck went through. When I rewatched it for the first time at 11, I cried 5 times throughout the movie. The first time I cried rewatching it, Chuck was kissing his girlfriend. When I watched that, remembering how in the end he never got to be with her even though she was the thing that kept his will to live on the island I really couldn't help myself.
I used to feel the same as a kid! Now I understand! Greetings from Brazil
He didn’t face loss because the whole film indicates his destiny wasn’t with Kelly anyway. The island gave him a new path with the woman at the end. She was his destiny, not Kelly.
I don’t think Chuck and Kelley were married, in relationship yes..
"....And I've lost her all over again." Makes me weep so hard when we this movie. Chuck never stopped loving Kelly even through the pain, the starvation, and the misery. All he could think about was her. Yet, even he knows he had to give her up in true love. "One day, the sun will rise! We have to keep breathing!"
"I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive. Somehow. I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope. And all my logic said that I would never see this place again. So that's what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And one day my logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I'm back. In Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass... And I've lost her all over again. I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly. But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?"
Best line EVER!!!
Was Wilson Kelly?
And when Wilson floats away it's Kelly going?
That's what I've always figured.
But that's an unforgettable line you posted.
Thankyou.
Fuckin amazing
p 28 He was referring to the photo of her that was in the pocket watch she gave him as a Christmas present, he sat it facing him while he slept so she was “always there”.
@@p28-e7j I think Wilson floating away was a symbolism of him returning back to civilization. Wilson was apart of the island and his companion that kept him alive. When it was time to go back home, everything that he found on the island faded away just like the island did when he got on the raft..
I first saw this movie 20 years ago. I nearly cried at the goodbye Wilson scene and for a long time thought it was the saddest/most powerful scene in the movie. Now 20 some years later, after rewatching, I have a different opinion. When Chuck manages to beat that final boss tide and is sailing away from the island and yells to himself that he made it and looks back at the island and the soundtrack kicks in for the first time, that moment bought me to tears because it was like finally making it past a hard/dull period in your life but looking back regardless how bad it was, you can't help but feel a bit nostalgic because for a while that was your life. The island was Chuck's home for 4 years. With the uncertainty of his future on the ocean, he knew that regardless of what happens he'll never return to that island again. And another scene was when he said in that monologue towards that end that he's sad he lost Kelly but was glad she was with him on the island. In times of loneliness we cling to whatever we can in order to gain some hope and strength to face the tides that await us. Overall I thought this movie was amazing and it will stick with me for as long as I'll live and I'm grateful that once in a while I'll come back to it hopefully as a better person.
What an amazing comment I have read .. 💖💖💖💖
Couldn't have said it better myself
Silvestre Music with Scenes create that emotion. Really super details about this film u gave in this writings. Thanks
Beautiful comment my friend
That's super profound.
When me and my wife buried our little boy in 2014, he was 17 weeks old. I vowed not to say goodbye ever again. I listened to this over and over. Still hurts to this day.
I don’t know you but I do so feel your sadness, I am so so very sorry for your loss. We never ever forget the loved ones that we lose, we just seem to get better at dealing with it, I hope you both find that strength together to keep moving forward.
I pray for peace for you and yours. 🙏
You are strong & this sound is amazing. I pray you & your wife continue to overcome that tragedy! My heart truly goes out to your family !
Everything happens for a reason, the God above has never made a mistake!
🙏🙏 So sorry
I lost my 2 sons to drugs, 1st one 19 , the 2nd 24. This song breaks me in two parts. 💔. I look for strength to keep moving forward. I think of how final things are. I'll never have another chance to make things right, then my 10 year old grandson moved in with me, now I focus on keeping him safe, it's like it was meant this way. I see new life when I wanted to give up. This song opened my cold heart back up. Everyday I'm working through it. I miss my sons horribly, but now I have new reason to go on. In memory of my 2 sons who have passed. Even though my heart is broken, I find strength to push each day.
be safe.
Be strong. Best Wishes.
George, your message was so strong the only replies could only be ones of encouragement. We are speechless, all of us. I lost a daughter and now are a so much more a part of her children’s lives, 9 and 5 years old. They bring something new in our world, from those that have been lost. Hope lives. It is what we do with it that counts. Carpe diem is the best way to make it mean something I think. They are so young and impressionable. We can still give the good they will remember. Be well.
Incredibly poignant story, very inspiring, thank you......
My friend, I have three sons and a daughter. I can't imagine how you have made it. No father should see what you have seen. May God bring you true and lasting peace and, if at all possible, fulfillment.
I think what people don't realize is when he looks back at the island as his raft carries him away and this song plays and then when he loses Wilson and this song plays those are pivotal moments to him letting go of his former self. Wilson and the island were the last remnants of his old self...they were what he occupied his time with and where he lived just trying to survive and live another day just hoping that he could go back home to his fiance some day. But he learned that time can steal all in life no matter how strong you are and how good of character you have within you...time can steal many things from you. Apart from the swanky job and cool clothes, the family dinners with 20 family members, his fiance, his bravado as a man, Chuck Noland was a survivor stranded on a deserted island and reinvented himself into a man that appreciated the more simple things in life and had to learn to live without love.
It's just that. Exactly. Nothing else to add.
Das ist so schön geschrieben und so treffend beschrieben. Der Film zeigt sehr deutlich wie sehr das Schicksal einem herausfordern kann. Was unser Herrgott auch immer für eine Prüfung uns auferlegt. Wenn wir es richtig machen gehen wir immer neu und gestärkt heraus.

@@OeraliusTarth Hallo Oeralius,
Woher kommst du?
I lost my wife a few months ago. It hurts everyday knowing our dreams together ended when she died. But one thing I’ve learned through everything that has happened is that IM still here. I have to keep going. I’m at that crossroad of life. I don’t know where the road wil take me. All I know is I’ll always carry her memory with me as I travel it. “Tomorrow the sun will rise”
how did she die ?
Sorry about your loss, man! I hope you will find love and happiness in her cherished memories and in other human and divine relationships. God bless you!
God bless you and the soul of your dear Wife. I am sure She wants you Just happy.
Been there. It takes time.
Yes it will my friend

Who ever sees & reads this comment Thank You for reading this 😢 and God Bless you.
12/10/1964-6/1/2019 54. Grand Rapids Michigan
My Dad Died on June 1st 2019 and
From Angiosarcoma a Rare Cancer that happens in the blood vessels
(1out of 1,000,000 get it Usually at 70 and up but can happen at earlier ages)
and can happen anywhere from the body and it happened as a Tumor mass in his right lung and eventually went to his left lung it caused Alot of pressure on his lungs and was causing fluid to build up constantly-to cough and hack up clear fluid like saliva.
We thought it was Bronchitis so he took medicine for it(1week) and we saw that it really wasn't working so on one day he got mad and put a hole in the wall in his bedroom.
He had been suffering this for about Four Months since all the way through June 😢 and we just didn't know that eventually it was cancer in his lungs.
The Doctors Tried Everything they could do to keep him alive by doing Radiation Therapy cause they couldn't do surgery (it was too big)
So they tried two treatments of it and the cancer wasn't reacting to the radiation by then he wasn't capable of doing Chemotherapy.
So they put a Ventilator and other things on him and had him on 💯Full life support to Inhale and exhale from the machines that were keeping him alive.
Aventually we had a family Meeting on June 1st to talk about his results and further Progressive treatment if possible but eventually they said this is Imminent to his Health to get any better from this point on. Soo many people were Praying for a Miracle 🙏 that he could make it baby step after baby step. It emotionaly shocked me to hear this so blunt in a Kind of way even though they tried to sugar coat the Evaluation.
I'll end it here to not keep lengthening this comment too much.
I'm 20 and have Alot of life too live without him at my side He will be Severally Missed untill I meet him in Heaven again The last thing I said was "I'll see ya in Heaven".
I Extremely Appreciate anyone that has read my comment. Please Like and reply if you can Thank you, God Bless you and May the Force be with you.👍✌️
Thats right
true
It's called beautiful sadness
Honestly, out of the many years I've been on UA-cam, I've seen so many comment sections and this has to be the most genuinely emotional of them all. It's not all just tasteless comedy or condescending arguments, it's full of people who actually feel down to Earth and relatable, people who share their sorrow in loss. Bless you all for being apart in this wonderful discussion.
Thought the same.
God bless you!
God bless you!
The comment section for "That Next Place" by Thomas Newman is the same. I'm not sure if you've ever gone to that one, but it's great too. The song stirs the same emotions as this one too.
We're all human, we all can share in loss and grief and love for one another.
In my life (60+) I sometimes had the joy of hearing assorted music that made me feel being in touch with God. This is one of them. I am grateful.
Hang in there pal
Dito!
Amen
God is love. And his name is Jehovah

There are also people with no sense of beauty or the Divine

The fact that this movie is 20 years old (7th december 2020) makes this music even more sad :( This movie is an underrated masterpeice that should never be forgotten!

Wow yes! one never knows how long we have ...or when a loved one will leave us...
I will turn 66 years old in a few days. I have said goodbye many times to those I was close to and not so close to as well. That is why I don’t relish the thought of living into my 80’s or longer. Everyone I’ve known and loved would be no more. One still has to keep breathing because tomorrow the sun will rise.
I love reading comments after watching a good movie. Love to see how people are amazed same as i am....
If you want to see such this madnifacent movie i suggest to watch driving miss daisy
Green mile also.....
Shawshank redemption.....
Yes me too😢
I think so too
This is one of the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. It's hauntingly beautiful, with the Oboe.
I so agree with you! I would very much like to welcome you to have a listen to some of Thomas Newman's music. His music for Shawshank Redemption is outstanding. Also, this reminds me a lot of Thomas Newman themes for Meet Joe Black (underrated film). The work Newman did in the film Passengers is breathtaking as well.
I had a painful breakup some years back! We loved each other! But certain circumstances hindered our progress! She came to my work with her new husband! And from a distance she mouthed the words “I Love You” I smiled back! The scene when Kelly runs after Chuck in the rain! And she tells him “I knew you were alive Your the love of my life”! Powerful stuff!!!
I love this music. It touches the soul every time I hear it.
I'm convinced this must be the music which plays when you take your last peaceful breath and leave your body.
Look up “The White Whale Chant”. It’s like an angel singing 🙏🏽
It’s not.
I really think that this will be remembered as one of Tom Hanks' best movies.
great music
It is the best indeed! The others good, some extremely good (philadelphia and forrest gump), but this man could stand alone for almost all the movie without make you blink once. No Tom Hanks movie makes you think about the sense of life like this.
This movie gives a lot of hope in today’s time due to Corona pandemic. We should really value life more than anything else.
@Camille McALoon What? Very odd coming from a woman. Are you OK?
@Camille McALoon I didn't mean to upset you.
This is the kind of song that sets the tone for a moment of divine intervention in a world crashing down and falling apart all around you. It's easy to lose sight of what is important in life when all seems lost and the courage to keep moving forward is like a dimly lit candle about to be blown out at the slightest brush of wind. But then you see a little break in the clouds and a tiny ray of light seeps thru. Suddenly you find yourself moving toward it, and you wonder how a broken vessel such as yourself could possibly be drawn to a little light after spending what seems like eternity in your own darkness. Suddenly you realize as you get nearer to that light your spirit is drawn to it, where it has always yearned to be. Once you find yourself out of the darkness and into the light, the weight of the sadness, anger, hurt, bitterness, confusion, and everything that landed you in the very depths of hell no longer linger in your heart and mind. It's the sweetest feeling.
probably one of the most inspirational thing I have
ever read! Thank you
Im dying my gf of 14 years is moving on im not ready we have 2 kids i didnt want to separate im not ready i cant live without her. I cant see the light im so scared but i cant kill myself i have to be here for my kids idk what to do this is the only hope ive seen i hope i hope this is true
Please do hold on. God says in the Bible that all who seek Him will find Him. Keep seeking and don't ever give up.

Wtf? :-P
It ranks right there with dances with wolves..out of africa..and somewhere in time...I so admire the composer's that write these haunting masterpieces..
This song brings tears to my eyes, then as the piece progresses.. hope and joy. I love this one. "The sun will rise and who knows what the tide will bring"
Went through a heartbreaking divorce a few years ago. If there is a movie that describes tradegy, accepting what you cant control, overcoming hopelessness, and starting a new life. This movie is it.
This song cleans your soul.
This score is a simple masterpiece, just like the film.
Best movie I've ever seen. I must have watched it over 200 times . Tom Hanks is brilliant. Music is beautiful and Wilson is the best.
I’m listening to this beautiful master piece sitting here and watching the ocean waves 🌊
I dont want to sound lame but I played this music in the background while I delivered a farewell speech for my best friend of 24 years who passed away from cancer. This piece of music is truly something. The emotions, the memories and the way your body and mind feels are all connected. They fluctuated from happiness, sadness, pain and grief. Life is definitely short. Your mind shifts knowing your best friend is gone and the memories that tie to the good times of what you remember with that person can no longer be shared by those who did not live it. RIP Tim M.
I am using this as the introductory piece to my father's funeral next week.
Sorry about your father's death. This would be a great song for a solemn and sad event like a funeral.
@@andyboy0005 it was just the right piece as we carried the coffin to the grave and placed it in position. Beautiful, sad, emotional but just right.
I know it was a year ago but I'm reading this comment now. This is such a beautiful song and I'm sure it was the perfect song for that day. Sorry for your loss.
@@lilskittle03 it was absolutely perfect in every way. Thank you.
Your dad would be proud.
This song captures a sense of woeful longing like no other. A masterpiece.
You're so right. Wish I would have found this earlier. It helps me confront some of my horrid childhood memories.
This is the song I want to hear when I’m on my final journey.
It’s soothing, melting my heart with its beauty ... and it is eternal.
This movie tought me what life is.
Thanks for great movie. From Japan.
makes me think of my friend who passed away a little over a year ago to alcoholism..I would think he was fighting depression too...I hope you know my heart hurts for you Jake. You were a great person and sometimes misunderstood as some of us are but you had a good heart and it shown through in all the good you did. We all miss you dearly whether you know it or not. I wish so much things could have been better for him. It's rare that you get actual friends in life..at least for me it is.
Man, i always cry to this song... it touches my entire soul in a way i cannot explain. I think about my grandparents and how i miss them. They raised me since i was a little boy and trough my teenage years. Having losing them was for sure the hardest thing in my entire life... i was 15 years old back then and felt completely lost and hopeless, now i'm 25 and still crying them... and i think it will do it till the day i die. Also i think it's a way of honor and remember them, with joy and sadness. I remember my grandpa saying he still cries thinking of his mom, and he was 86 years old. Some people mean so much to us, the least we can do is remember them and what they mean to us. Moving forward doesn't mean you won't cry no more... that's beyond grief.
Great post friend
My grandfather told ne when I was approaching manhood, "you're not a man until you cry".
I told my two boys that. I loved my grandfather, he and my dad were my heros. Im 71, and still cry at times.
You're not alone. I think of my Mum and Dad, and how much I miss them. I can't help but cry, but sometimes, in a funny way a good cry is cleansing, or a release. I love this song, but it makes me cry every time too.
Some say less is more, and this score is perfectly evocative of that sentiment. May we all find that which brought us here.
Not enough people realize this type of music is the most uplifting, sad, powerful, beautiful music there is. How can you not feel something when you hear it? The White Whale Chant is another absolutely haunting piece. Look it up and enjoy 🙏🏽
Cant say enough of the feeling I had at the end of this movie, it reminded me of a time when my then wife whispered in my ear I love you, honestly the most sincere feeling I ever had and I never thought Id lose her to another man but I did. Then I lost her twice due to cancer, never was able to say anything or even that I loved her. Such a empty feeling she meant everything to me. I wish sometimes I could be with her.
🙏
Music that touches your soul. It is moving and beautiful. I can never listen to this music and not cry. ❤️
My cat died. His soul brought me here today. I write a song about him on my UA-cam here, but nobody would watch.... Thankyou for this. 🐱 Meow.

Cats don’t have souls. Google brought u here. Good music.
This was the first movie I ever watched more than once. The music always hit me straight in the heart.
The rain seen where he says good bye to the love of his life is the most romantic scene in movie history ! Very difficult 😞 not to cry 😢!!
It's significant that the movie's title is "Cast Away," not "Castaway." It's not about being a castaway. It's about casting away, letting go. Everything Hanks does and suffers is to prepare him for the moment when he will meet and love the woman on the angel-branded spread in Texas. She is his destiny, not Kelly, the Helen Hunt character, the woman he loved and lost. She, like so many people in this world, are meant to be with us only for so long. At one point, he said he was sad to lose her but glad she was there with him (in spirit) on that island. Recognizing this, he can go forward.
It is not clear if he ever sees her again. I think it is more about him finding himself.
Absolutely. ❤
This song reminds me of a break up with a gal I thought I was going to marry. I was devastated!!!! I listened to this song and it made me the saddest I had ever been.... I listened and listened and questioned why........ I am truly grateful it happened, for years later I met my wife and had our beautiful children. Today, this song only brings me a sad memory but much joy for going through it to see the light ...
Life will go on ! Be blessed to have loved !!

I also when through a hard break up that cut my soul and felt so one that year. I saw this movie and gave my soul hope and sadness. I cried so much. I kept breathing and knew someday I was gunna catch a tied. Now here I am with ice in my cup all over again and in love all over again. Her name is Veronica and I love her so much. May the Lord bless us for the rest of our lives together.
I was a projectionist at a cinema when this movie came out, Our manager ordered boxes of tissues and had the usherettes go around handing them out throughout the movie. She was one badass manager, everyone adored her. Her husband had some of this music played at her funeral. R.I.P. Joan. Thank you, Spirit Of Orchestral Music.

DO it today
It might be your last chance
FOR not one of us KNOWS how much is left of our life.
Example
WHEN a person is laying on their deathbed and only has BUT a few breaths left on this earth.
The only thing you will remember most of all is all the people you should have loved when all you did was hate them.
All the people you NEEDEd to make amends with but now it's to late.
TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED!!!!!
Just watched Cast Away for the first time and I’m bawling. I know what its like to know someone have been dead for a long time then suddenly show up. Knowing there’s nothing you can do except move on no matter how hard it hurts.
Yeah no other choice but to fly on and keep going.
I am 19 so I basically never heard about this movie before. maybe a couple of times but never paid attention to it. just switched to HBO and left it in the background while doing some homework, but coincidentally heard the Soundtrack of this classic. needed to go to UA-cam and... listening to the OST evokes a very strong mixture of feelings like melancholy and sadness Even when I’m actually not feeling that way. I need to watch this movie right now
The Cast Away main theme is one of the most beautiful and moving pieces of music I've ever listened too. If you can listen to this piece and not feel the hope and despair of the main character (Tom Hanks), then you may not be human. Alan Silvestri is highly overlooked as one of our greatest composers.
I'm going through a horrible yet heart-breaking relationship that I saw my whole future with this person, but now is gone! I feel lonely and abandoned at times. And every time I listen to this soundtrack, it reminds me to keep going and keep breathing. Life's unpredictable challenges come and go through all kids of shapes and format and dynamic. You'll never know what the life may bring today or tomorrow. The only thing we have control over is our attitude.
תדע שכל בוקר עם זריחת החמה את מקבל מתנה לשינוי להבנה לתת ללב שלך חופש לאהוב להכיר ומקווה מאוד שמצאת אהבה חדשה ומישהו אוהב אותך כי אם אתה מאזין ליצירת המופת הזו אתה אגם רגיש ומלא באהבה בהצלחה❤❤❤
หนังเรื่องนี้ผมว่าเป็นเรื่องที่เศร้าที่สุดในชีวิต โดยเฉพาะความรักที่ผู้ชายคนหนึ่งทำงานแต่ก็ไม่เคยลืมคนที่รัก แต่เมื่อต้องพรากจากกัน 4 ปี แต่ผู้ชายคนนี่ไม่เคยลืมคนที่รักเลยแม้แต่วันเดียว พยายามออกจากเกาะทุกวิถีทาง แต่เมื่อออกไปแล้ว กลับไม่สมหวัง แต่สิ่งที่ทำให้ประทับใจที่สุดคือคำพูดของเขาว่า ถึงเขาไม่มีเธอแล้วตอนนี้ แต่เขาก็ดีใจที่มีเธออยู่บนเกาะนั้น เป็นเหมือนแรงใจที่จะมีชีวิตต่อไป และเฝ้ารอที่จะได้เจอเธอ
Whoever wrote this ( I didn’t look it up) and performed this… I just want to thank you. Sincerely.
Not a bunch of words. Just thank you,
You have no idea what you’ve done here.
Thank you so much.
Alan Silvestri (I’m sorry, I figured it would just help…)
This is arguably the best movie Tom ever made. Mainly because unlike most movies that tell a specific story this is a story we can all relate to and learn from. In this life at some point we will experience loss. Sometimes the loss is a divorce, death, a career or physical loss and sometimes we can lose ourselves. This music is a doorway that opens up stories of this in our lives. I can tell you this from personal experience. I was a military aviator and had a wife, 3 kids and brand new house. I was sent on a mission and it was a mission that went horribly wrong. I made it back and eventually got back to my house. I soon found out that it was an empty house and my kids laughter was gone. The military knowing how the mission went sent me to a shrink. They said I had some PTSD and permanently grounded me and I soon also found myself reading divorce papers. The military being grounded from flying then told me I was getting discharged even though I still had 6 years left on my contract. They pushed me out into the street. One day I was sleeping in a brand new 4 bedroom house and another day I found myself sleeping in my van. My soon to be x brother in law returned from IRAQ and was found hanging at his house. It was this movie that reminded me to keep breathing and keep going because you never know what the tide will bring in. So that’s what I did and I started my own business and recently bought a house. If you’re in a dark place keep breathing, keep going because you never know when, what or who the tide will bring in.
I love all of Allan Silvestri's music
I like all of his music as well.
Same
hands down one of my favorite pieces of music ever
This was a movie that i watched with my dad in our living room just a couple years before he died. Love this movie. Love the music. It takes me back.
Such a beautiful piece of music to such a great film
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard and I'm a huge lisfener to real music. The theme seems to embody all the yearning, sadness, tragedy and hope possible. Thankyou Alan Silvestra. A masterpiece.
For all who are fighting with themselves, do not lose hope, one day you will find yourself and it will be the biggest relief in your life, one day everything will be fine, I struggle with depression and anxiety every day, I am afraid I will be alone for the rest of my life and this beautiful music gives me strength for the next day, for anyone who reads this you are not alone, I like you and I wish you all the best, and when it is worst for you look at the sun and all the shadows will fall for you! God bless you
Recently watched the movie again after some twenty years. Didn’t remember peeling onions the first time. That rainy, emotion packed scene at the end just turned on the waterworks. This music so beautifully captures the film from start to end.
Some music is meant to stir emotions within your soul. This music stirs my total being!
This music is a masterpiece. Its up there with the best. I can't stop listening to it, the Oboe tugs on your heartstrings.
Brings me to ugly tears every time. What a gorgeous sad beautiful emotional piece. The music, the fact that we sit here and mourn a volleyball. Just incredible all around
I'm no movie buff, but this is my favorite movie of all time. I can't get over how silent the movie is (80 minutes of on-screen silence in total). However, when it's not silent, it's playing this beautiful orchestral piece. Such phenomenal camerawork, acting, directing, and music.
It is in its own class
This is the most beautiful theme I have ever heard. I am moved so much by this piece. My body has a physical reaction whenever I hear it. ❤️
Wilson- "queue music" I'm SORRY!"... made me cry like a baby 😔
There was me thinking I'd perhaps read too much into the meaning of this movie. Reading the comments here brings great comfort, I can see how deeply others were moved by it and its soundtrack. The island for me is a symbol of purgatory or the doldrums that we find ourselves in after one form of tragedy or another, and although I advocate for fighting through your pain, sometimes you have to wait for the tide to come in, you awake one day and the pain isn't gone but you feel different. The lost time that is represented by his life on the island is analogous to the grieving process we all must endure at some point.
When people say of films and literature that it speaks of the human condition, I used to feel clueless as to what they meant, but now I see. There is no way certain pains can be redeemed in this life, there's losses that are just losses. What a beautiful testament this comment section is to humanity, and to the perseverance we show in the face of blunt tragedy.
I saw this film when I was in the deepest sadness. I had prepared the certification test that I thought I should do, but it was really hard for me to realize I'm not the one who can pass the test. Endless depression came to me and I felt like I was being alone in the island. Now I'm preparing for the other test, and I'm sure this movie saved my life at that time. Thanks Tom Hanks and the director from a student from South Korea.
Its a journey we take, you will be fine ❤
1:54 sounds just like “The Real Hero”, another absolute masterpiece by Silvestri
It does too lol. Guess he thought no one would notice haha
Severed_J Edwards that’s what I thought 🤣👍🏼
@@j_edwards6075 I understood that reference. 😀
Nice to know i wasnt alone in noticing this lol 😂
Rest in peace my wonderful mom. I love you so much. We're all joining you sooner or later, and I'll be buried next to you and the rest of our family.
May Allah bless you
A few seconds into the tune and my tears immediately began to roll down my cheeks. I didn't think nothing particular, a loss or a memory just the sheer beauty of the music that captured me. The tenderness and softness of those strings or synth sounds whatever it is straight into my heart like a bullseye. Inevitable for me not to be moved by it.
In forrest gumb there's a tune that is very similar to that one and it's also my favourite of the forrest gumb music score. The whole Forrest gumb soundtrack is definitely in the top five of all movie scores for me personally but that tune that sounds very similar to that one here is my favourite. I think it comes in the movie at the end after Baba, his mother and Jenny are all gone and Forrest somehow looks back at his life and gets the feeling that his life was a masterpiece and everything he did was all worth it and he earned all his sucsesses just by loving any situation and anyone and never gave up on it although he was mocked and ridiculed and bullied and let down by many. And when that score comes it is as if the heavens and the angels saying to forrest: well done son you have passed all the challenges. And at that moment because the music was so peaceful it felt like Forrest finally found the peace in his life that he longed for during the whole movie which portayed his whole life. That to me was a wonderful moment in the movie due to that music piece that reflected Forrest's emotional and mental state. And this piece here reminds me very much on that one. I know I said it already. 😊
Due to loss, struggles, things that life throws at you that you feel you can't handle. I've felt them, and suffered severe insomnia for years . Heard this. And I slept. Thank you.
On the island for years, no music, he sails away and this music begins......and then he looks back to the island as it fades away....and you can just see how much the island meant to him...his savior, his support....and how even what is dear to us must be released. Then he later lets the oar drift away. He lets himself be guided and has found submission. The movie is spiritual on so many levels.
Sometimes you feel like the world just casts you away to be alone, during that time you hold onto to something that will bring you back to the world but when you do come back the one thing that kept you going is no longer there because the world kept turning while you were gone and things changed so what do you do? Just keep breathing...
Beautiful!
This is really deep
I happened to read your comment after one year. I do hope you will see my comment on your beautiful
and most absorbing words you have written. They are very poetic and with deep meaning. Thank you Daine
for your wonderful and meaningful words. I too enjoyed the music in the movie Cast Away. Bandula Jayawardene.
Diane Morais ... true, breath and find a way forward, never to take anything for granted ever again 🗻
Perfectly said...
The music is haunting and brings a deep warm feeling to listeners! I could cry!
My favorite movie of all time, I've watched it a hundred times.
What a great message this movie had. To never give up or give in. Keep waking up every day. Keep breathing. There is always tomorrow. "And this too shall pass".
💯 👍🏻
When I was a kid, I watched this movie many times. The loneliness of Tom Hank's charachter and his faith always made me fell inspired. This last couple of months, I realized I'm also lost in that island. I've listened to this song so many times, it's not Tom Hanks I see in my mind now. It's now my fear, my loneliness and my faith in the tide. Like a friend once told me, sometimes in life we find ourselves lost in an island, and we never know the means we need to have to get out of it. But, that's not a thing I need to do alone. And by then, I start to see that the island it's not so desert, and that the tide had already brought me the way out a long time ago. It's time to leave.
Thanks to this friend, and thanks to my high school Professor for a sweet memory in witch I can go back if I may.
I never have found a more relaxing, peaceful composition than this. Gives one time to reflect on the past and think of the future.
Absolutely stunning!!!! One of the most beautiful and heart aching pieces of music ever written! Alan is a legend!
I think this theme is showing more than just staying alive it’s about finding meaning and purpose in even the most challenging and difficult circumstances.
Alan Silvestri is a great cinematic composer !
I was almost hiding my tear while watching the end of this movie and this music add a touch of sadness in it.......
A masterpiece of musical genius.
I am sitting here and reading all those comments. And I am just gonna say something. Do you see what music has done to you?Look at this great thing that is called music, listen to it. Your hearts are open I can see them.
Something about this piece is indescribable, I've been listening to it at least once a day for the past 3 years
Always brings tears to my eyes.
"Because tomorrow the sun will rise, Who knows what the tide could bring? ".
