Inception - 14. Don't Think About Elephants (Bonus Track)

[@akramdinulakbar9924]

It's been almost 11 years. And everytime I hear this track, it makes me want to fight somebody in a rotating hallway.

"Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange."

[@fadyk85]

How is this a bonus track? This is probably the masterpiece of the album for me.

[@xFirebird925x]

One of the best soundtracks from Inception. The suspense, the feeling, the chord usage...and great combination of classical instruments with electronic sounds.

[@razwu85]

who agrees with me that Inception had the best ,larger than life, soundtrack ever? i am really addicted to this.

[@drbazooka5907]

Simple but very effective.

[@SMheatstroke23]

Agreed.. You should definitely check out Interstellar, also :D

[@iforgot87871]

This is my favorite arrangement of the music. It's weird it didn't come with the soundtrack when I bought it.

[@dtothee8730]

It's a bonus track that you can only download from the Inception official website. It doesn't exist on the original soundtrack. I don't know why they did that.... I mean, this was used at the most memorable scene (the hall way scene) in the movie....

I finally figured where the name of this song came from; it was a line Gordon Joseph-Levitt had said in Inception

[@mordekaihorowitz]

if you take this title literally, you could think of this scene as someone thinking about elephants, and then a stampede of elephants appears and start destroying everything. Elephants are creatures from hell. They're really scary.

[@lookatezail]

+Maximum Frequency If you take the title literally you *wouldn't* be thinking of elephants.

4:23 all i can think of is that badass rotating hallway scene..best fight ever..no questions

[@deepstig]

3:10 to 4:05 is among the most epic sounds i have ever heard

[@creepstargalactica]

nothing but raw edge of your seat epicness hans zimmer is a tru orchestral genius! this soundtrack brings me out of my seat every time i hear it the movie itself is a work of art tho few can fathom it some dont realize that this isent just some sound in a movie it is hours of work and somtimes even 100s of people to create this beautiful sound i dont take this for grant thats why im here to enjoy i hope you all enjoy it as well

[@joedotphp]

This is my personal favorite of all the tracks. Unfortunately you can't download it anywhere.

If you like these extra tracks, check out Zimmers recording sessions for Inception, There is loads of extra tracks that were in the movie but not officially released :) Just search on YT Inception : recording sessions

[@amstang864]

this is the best score..possibly ever

[@eldrymoonguard8505]

Inception is thought by some to be impossible because the inceptee's mind has an uncanny ability to trace the planted idea back to the person who planted it. For example, if someone tells you “Don’t think about elephants,” you may think of elephants, but this fails as inception because the originator-the person who ordered you not to think about elephants-can be traced as the source too easily.

[@kungFuProdigy]

what your actually looking for is the track called destablization

[@Kaegri]

4:00 at the quiet part, I heard footsteps outside and thought it was part of the track... damn that was freaky o_o BUYING!!

[@Glamrgrl104]

Listening to this track again LOVE IT!!

[@Latieonx]

Such an awesome name for such epic music. Elephants and paradoxes of life and all we know as time and dreams. Nice, Nolan.

[@ObjectsInMotion]

@hagen552 thats actually called a Lucid Dream. An Inception is only when you have a dream, wake up, then realize you are still dreaming and never really woke up in the first place. I have them like once every 3 months or so, but it usually is more than one layer, for example one time i counted i woke up 4 times before actually woke up. And they're not fun either, because i get freaked out when i don't know if im still dreaming. Also sometimes i can't move, like im literally in bed and cant move.

[@HQBacon]

This is the best movie I've ever seen.

[@MrNeversaynever]

Inception, when you realize you go for other people goals and dreams.

[@Garudanime]

great soundtrack, also kinda sounds like Metal Gear Solid 4 music wich isnt completely strange since the composer for metal gear solid is hans zimmers student : ) (the composer for Inception)

[@7darkstarr]

this song is nice, I'm bouncing my head back and forward.

[@lorcan0c]

@gir0and0smoove I'd assume because it's Arthur who is fighting and he is the one who said this earlier in the movie in regards to the concept of Inception. "I say "Don't think about elephants", what are you thinking about now?" "Elephants?" "Right, but you know that it wasn't your idea, you know that I gave it to you. The mind can always trace the genesis of the idea. True inspiration is impossible to fake."

[@gngstazn]

"Don't think about elephants. What do you think about?" I would be thinking "why can't I think about elephants, they rock!"

[@pottyaboutpotter1]

An Elephant never forgets...

[@180schnawzer]

I loved this soundtrack. U prepare yourself to assassinate someone then everything goes wrong and you battle it out until someone is victorious.

[@sakshyamchauhan4317]

Gaand faad track. Boht hard!

[@akatsukimercenary]

Inception does have to with dreams. To incept something, is to put an idea, which permeates within the mind, therefore hijacking the body. The usage of the term is correct in the movie, and it deals with the lower recesses of the mind; and because it dealt with corporate espionage in which one party wants to eliminate the other competition. Therefore the dream terrorists must use ideas to curve the course. This was also the case in the anime movie Paprika in which they use a similar device.

[@party2death]
