[@edmar7317]

whenever i hear this music and i remember the movie "the deerhunter", i think of time passing by when we were young, then all of a sudden here we are like in the sunset of our lives and we start to ask ourselves what had happened? how time had passed so quickly by, how people dear to us had passed on to the great beyond and we ourselves are in the throes of moving on as well. time is fleeting and we often wonder what had happened to our youth, when we would frolic under the sun or dance under the rain. now even every bit of movement is a difficult task and we strain in remembering things past or persons we've known. time sure flies like the wind as the music "cavatina" wafts in the air...

Ed Mar and so fast...

[@wadecrown2474]

Ed Mar The bible says that our lives are nothing but a sigh compared to eternity with Christ or without Him. The choice is all ours.

[@edmar7317]

Wade I agree. I reflect whenever I hear this music. I believe it is God- sent, and we can always use this art form as we meditate on the meaning of our lives. And as we live in the service of God and our fellow human beings, in the end, as we watch the fleeting moments before us it will always be a life well- spent, rich, vibrant and fulfilling. That to me is "Cavatina" ...

Unfortunately, even though it was written well before the film, I no longer can separate it from 'The Deer Hunter', a masterpiece of a film I have only watched once, and never will again, due to the sadness, sorrow and feeling of utter desolation it left me with..

Haunting theme in a beautiful movie. True fiends remain in your heart. Heartbreaking the final scene between Michael and Nick, as one tries to save the other. I lost my best friend years ago, a little part of me died that day. Forever in my heart. RIP.

[@seantwentyfour471]

When I was a young child, my father said to me "we're going to watch a movie, and it will make you a man". After watching The Deer Hunter I just sat there realizing the terror, reality, and cruelty of war. My father disrupted my silence and said "Never forget your brothers in arms". He was a stern MasterCheif in the US Navy and the Vietnam Conflict recently ended. His words never left my heart. Father, I have not forgotten the fallen, and will carry them with me for the rest of my days. ~ I have been in the USMC now for 33 years and am MasterSeargent. I will not forget you.

[@chambeet]

Sean TwentyFour That’s interesting it made you realize the terror and cruelty of war, and yet you also joined the military. Not trying to bash or anything, just an interesting thing to say. I understand you want to make the world a better place for all of us.

[@uhlijohn]

Do you know who Gen. Smedley Butler is Sean? You better find out. He wrote a famous book called "War Is A Racket" Butler was one of the most decorated Marines in history but after he retired he came clean and denounced Wall Street for using the US armed forces as their "muscle". The moment the American empire is dissolved the US armed forces can regain their rightful and laudable goal of defending the republic from all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC! That means Wall Street!

In 2/19 I lost my very best friend. Her name is Indigo. She was a Rottie mix, and was 14 yrs old when she passed. I love(d) her with all of my heart. We could finish each other’s thoughts, communicate our feelings with just a look. We were inseparable, and she was a beautiful creature. I first heard this particular version of Cavatina soon after she died. It perfectly expresses the love that we shared with one another, and the excruciating pain caused by losing her. That is why I now refer to this specific music, in this video, as “Indigo’s Song.” 💔💔💔💔😪😪😪😪

Beautiful...the way you expressed it...pets ARE family too....I have soooo many memories of old pets that are gone, they were soooo important in my life, in my children's lives as well...I remember pets from when I was just a little girl; their personalities and everything about them and now I am old and retired. I took it upon myself, however, to take care of a cat that my dear old neighbor when she passed away and although Lisa (the cat) is not as "sweet" and /or cuddly, I make sure I spoil her and take care of her. She was an almost wild farmcat, but she will have a loving home, no matter what, with me, as long as I can take care of her! It wasn't her fault what happened! My children have learnt, since a very young age, to never hurt animals and be kind to them and they are both loving pet owners! Sooo proud of them...I could seriously harm a person, if I knew they hurt animals.....no kidding! Humans are actually the worst animals on this planet....sorry to say!

This song transcends me to the scene in the movie where they have returned from the deer hunting trip. He is playing the piano, and the music fades to the thumping of helicopter blades in Vietnam. This is a precise depiction of my life at that time. Myself and my life was forever changed in a heartbeat three tours in Vietnam and I was no longer the same person. I cannot listen to this music or watch this movie to this day.

Beautifully done. The rough and tumble riverside steel mill town scenes in The Deer Hunter masterfully captured how life was for so many. They used several steel mill riverside towns but mostly Steubenville, Ohio. Dino Crocetti aka famed crooner Dean Martin, was born and raised there, like my Dad. And like my Dad, his Dad was a barber in Steubenville. Every time I hear this song, I think of my Dad who became a victim of some of the brokenness in our healthcare system nearing 11 years ago. Both my Dad’s parents came from Italy as toddlers, through Ellis Island. Many Italians settled in the steel mill towns. My Dad was a True Patriot and effective pioneer in the Electronic Defense industry starting in the USAF. When he passed one of those choked up on learning the news, was the President of the leading global trade group in electronic defense. My Dad had a presence like a cross between tough guy actors Brian Dennehy and Gene Hackman, so we all figured he’d live a very long time. Each of this song, Claire De Lune and Andy Williams singing “Moon River” will always remind me of him. I had to come back to add this: in the category of there are no coincidences or, as not enough say, “Signs from God” perhaps... ...immediately after posting this, I stepped outside for a quick errand. Just in time to note the clouds coming in at a ceiling lower than my current 9,600 plus feet elevation in Colorado. With the full moon rise lighting the cloud play reminding me of the mountain hunting scenes from The Deer Hunter.

This was more a product of David’s loss of hearing than wholesale disagreements. David loved his Country like every man should. I always observed David as a “gentle spirit” who deeply loved his family - and was never at loss to admit.

Growing up in the 50's & 60's that music really brings back the memories of those days because of the movie, sad memories, happy memories flood through my mind. Beautiful music. Memories of the nightly reports on the war in Vietnam and so much more.

Listening to this reminds me of both sorrow and peace in a time of forgotten Vietnam heros that I am honored to have been trained by.

Well said. They should deserve tremendous amount of respect by the folks whether they like it or not.

Bei diesem Song, schmerzt das Herz so sehr, daß es keine Möglichkeit gibt, seine Emotionen zu verbergen. Man wird an Jemand, oder Etwas erinnert und Bilder der Vergangenheit ziehen wieder vorbei. Auch wenn man traurig wird, ist dieses Lied bedingungslos schön. ❤

When I first heard this in The Deer Hunter, so many years ago, I thought: THIS is the music which has to be played at my funeral, nothing else. I'm not yet dead, far from it and I've never changed my my mind.... lovely rendition of a beautiful piece of music from Stanley Myers.

These 2 are not just playing music, they are telling a story together this is how music should be told with feelings and accentuation to take the listeners to heaven.

[@brucehutchison3946]

Surely this must be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.

Movie and music reminds me of my young adult years and it was just like yesterday and now close to late 60’s still gives me the chill whenever I hear it.

Her accompaniment is exquisite & compliments his lead with a delivery that's absolutely (earfully) appealing to the audience. Well done!!!

Sadly and tearfully, it reminds me of my husband's passing.

[@Mimi-bx2km]

Can't listen to this without sobbing, even after all these years. Memories flood back of friends who died over there. RIP

So very true

[@mpumelelotsabedze1707]

Brings so much memories when I was younger watched the movie...

[@OkieSketcher1949]

I love listening to the guitar when playing songs such as this. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for this recording.

Beautiful, Calm, Soft, Gentle and Kind.

I think it's the most beautiful piece of music ever. It's happy, relaxing, mellow, thought provoking and also sad. Makes think of the good in life and the sad parts of life.

Poignant music, beautifully played. The Deer Hunter seared my heart.. That was my time, and it tore everyone apart, as a society, and within our hearts.

[@geoffmetcalfe9863]

I have heard Cavatina played by many of the guitar ‘greats’, Julian Bream and John Williams to name just two. However, this is by far my favourite rendition from CARisma, a super talented duo and I play it very often. It always brings a feeling of hope and joy tinged with melancoholy. Than you both.
