He Sleeps - Pretty Woman - James Newton Howard

[@expressflyer6760]

It's probably the best ever instrument ever written and produced. My morning alarm clock. I searched for this for years. It's simpy beautiful.

[@jameliaengel9938]

To hear an orchestra play this. Piano gets me every time.

[@tiffsaver]

I don't know why this guy isn't more well known. His music really made Pretty Woman special...

[@kadejito1]

Hes gone on to write a lot of fantastic music for motion pictures. Vertical Limit, The Sixth Sense, The Village, Lady in the Water, the list goes on. I think John Williams pretty much bogarted the coveted role as "the worlds film composer", but there are plenty of other good composers out there.

[@adesojiadebisi3477]

Saw this film when it came out in 1990 ( I was just fresh out of Secondary School ), and the ' He sleeps ' scene, literally blew me away, and I added ' LEARN THE PIANO ' to my bucket list, and a few years later ( 2016 ) I finally took up lessons, and still at it, despite the distractions and difficulties . I will probably look up the film again. Yes, music ticks all the boxes that words cannot tick. Just me, thinking aloud.

[@jd70HJ19]

He has been around more that 50 years ....he arranged music for many so called famous artist like ELTON JOHN... Good music does not get played on radio or tv...perhaps that might be the reason why he not known by many ...that will change.

Without thismusic the World would be poorer. Thank you. It really touch my heart

[@beverliedunlap2770]

This is the only piece of music that has no words that can illicit emotion from me. It is a stunning piece and emotion provoking. Just lovely. Thank you.

[@schafable]

Agreed. In my opinion that’s what music is supposed to do

[@stewartmoore5158]

I mean, you've got a world of non-lyric music awaiting to move you if this had an effect on you.

[@tiffsaver]

The craziest thing is that he actually wrote the music BEFORE he even saw the movie!!! This guy is totally brilliant...

[@JoseMorales-ym1ru]

I dont know why but for some reason this theme makes me cry .Even if doesn't have words .It makes me feel so loneley. 😂Well as a matter of fact it is because i'm so lonely .I live by myself with no one around me 😢

[@kraft837]

@@JoseMorales-ym1ru same here I live by myself, and I’m very lonely, but I love listening to beautiful music like this song from pretty woman makes me happy, however, I start to think how lovely it would be to be able to hold somebody in my arms

When simple music like this makes you cry you know it is music 🎼

Probably the best movie love song.

One of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard. Always loved it!!❤❤❤

[@billsimmonds9864]

The nicest version of this song I have ever heard.

[@benjoanne1]

So beautiful…to me, this song embodies what falling in love feels like 😍🥹

[@Deano4322]

When I was a teenager I met a beautiful young lady but being a stupid fool I didn’t appreciate what I had and I ended things but I never really stopped thinking of her but she moved on and met and married another man and this was a favourite film of theirs then the lady in question and I had a chance meeting some 10 years after we’d split up and I told her I’d always regretted ending our relationship all those years before and to my joy she told me that I had always been the one she’d wanted . That was 31 years ago and we’ve been married now for 28 years and as happy as ever but whenever I hear this amazing piece of music I always think about those 10 years I lost with her , For my Mary x

[@TunnellMill1]

Have looked for this piece for years only to find it tonight. Brings back so many memories. Beautiful, James Newton Howard and orchestra.

[@damonhucks6328]

Same here. Watching Pretty Woman for about the 30th time. When this song came on, turned on my phone THANKS SHAZAM!!! 32 years and I have finally found it. I am not lying when I say I can die a happy man.

[@susankent6051]

Same here. It always stuck with me❤❤❤

[@davidjeyes9980]

you can see that the musicians in the orchestra truly "feel" this piece - well played by them.

[@kouadioangebasile8530]

ONE OF THE LEGENDARY COMPOSER OF OUR ERA.

I agree, he is a spiritual successor to Jerry Goldsmith

[@dawnfp9683]

I walked down the aisle to this song 11/10/24. I have always loved this, It reaches my soul when I hear this absolutely beautiful piece of music. Thank you for creating it and for me to have this as I walk down the aisle was something magical 💕

I just lost a good friend from high school 3 days ago who battled cancer. I hadn't seen her in these last 40 years now, but her impression on me is exactly what this music speaks. She was also a talented flute player in our school orchestra. Miss u so much Michelle 😢.

When I'm laid to rest this will be one of the songs that's played !!!

[@tonylovell3589]

Yet not a song, it just feels like one!

[@sallyhu5028]

Not even three minutes ... so brief. Yet so rich, it feels so much more. A joy for the senses. Julia Roberts and Richard Gere were magical. And this piece ... and "Fallen" gave their scenes the emotional heft that made the movie soar and endure almost 35 years on. And will continue to be loved by millions for the memories it evokes.

[@yolobro.]

The most heartwarming theme, doesn’t get the recognition it deserves! Wish I could buy this live track as a digital recording and the sheet music straight from Newman himself.

[@tomasjoconnel5367]

pull it down for yourself off the web

[@arcticangel1628]

How could you say that it doesn’t get recognition?

[@paulino8472]

My best Rosie passed away 3 years ago, and everytime I hear this music, I think of her. I think of friendship and trust, and how that lives on in my memories and heart. I'll see you someday my friend..

[@iceomistar4302]

This was in Prague, I feel like Prague has some great musicians, most other classical orchestras aren't so comfortable playing film music but the Prague Philharmonic plays almost as well as any orchestra in Los Angeles or London.

Thank you. One of the most stirring scenes in the movie

[@atrac88]

WOW. Concert performances of a piece of film music pretty much always sound different from the original as heard in the film for various legit reasons - even with the composer conducting. THIS, however, good Lord. A perfect recreation! So much so I'm wondering if it is the original track layered with the video. Clearly, it's not. And it's a gift. I've been waiting for this sans kissing sounds etc. for 33 years! ❤

[@atrac88]

Or is it the original performance from the film? I'm second guessing reality now. 😂
