Jóhann Jóhannsson - They Being Dead Yet Speaketh

[@MartinBergnerGuitar]

Johannsson was a very special composer... he grasps and expresses emotion in such a unique way and with so much focus like there is nothing else that matters to him than creating this one moment. He does it with such grace and a sense of perfection that it leaves me mind-boggled. I can only imagine what a beautiful person he was... may he rest in piece.

[@miklosgotzy5095]

His music and soul are eternal.

[@Mjzzz11]

lost is a man who no longer has a family to live with.His parents are gone, his aunts and uncles have abandoned him,but it is the beat of his heart that reminds him of his life. He wishes each day to slowly get better buthe knows himself that life will take its toll on him.

Die musikalischen Arbeiten von Johann Johannsson sind perfekt, ja schlicht genial.

[@ThorirPP]

Rest in peace, þú einstaki, hæfileikaríki maður. We will never get a talent like yours again.

[@ShutterSnapped]

His music will speak for years and years to come.

[@theconfessor3177]

Johann will indeed always speak through music. RIP...

[@kengoodey]

This man is an unbelievably epic composer. Everything I've heard so far has been mind blowing.

I heard of his passing this morning. Life is short but may his music live long.

[@andhikaeka1813]

THIS IS HOW HAPPINESS FELT LIKE.

Too sad to hear Jóhann died. R.I.P. Jóhann.

[@xilix]

He had so much more to give. It's a huge loss.

[@nites90]

My mate just mention it to me to go n check this guy out. He said he interpret this song as what 'life' is....I couldntve agreed more. Jóhann Jóhannsson is a genius. Thankyou...

[@imaansharifi]

Rest in heaven johann.... I always think about you 💔

[@fuocofave]

Johann you are amazing

[@Mjzzz11]

So he waits his life hoping of something to change but he has grown old,there is nothing left in him.He sits on a bench of a vacant park and looks up to the sky thinking of his past memories as he hesitates of the though of a single one a tear drops from his eye

[@pampiriram]

So bittersweet. I love it, gives peace to my mind!

[@RobertBalaam]

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful !!! 🎶🎺🎹🎷🔝💯🙏😇

[@christiangloria86]

Pure beauty.

[@FolkBoyify]

Edit: Wow, thank you all so much! And there he was, standing before us, his flag raised above his nappy head, his scars left bleeding throughout his body, his eyes tired, body weakened, brain exhausted. This is where we met the Man who had labelled us his brothers, his sisters, his family, his friends. They abandoned him. But, he did not abandon them, for he KNEW what this world was coming to-it's end. The dust that swallowed the air once, now cowarded into thin air, & left no marks of true peace. But on this day, as we praise his name, we learn that HE was our friend.

Where did you get the image?

[@ceciliocedonoblocnote]

I listened almost all of his other songs but none of them made me feel like this one. 0_0

[@mariekurulashvili6203]

It was the last time i was holding her hand. Death was looking at me through her eyes whispering this melody... And then there were left only two of us, me and S I L E N C E

[@MM-bm5zx]

LOL

[@TheNanaooo]

reminds me of the soundtrack to the beginning of the taxi driver. : )

[@작심삼일121번은일년]

비행기 사진이 과거의 흔적이고, 그는 그 사진을 멍하니 바라봅니다. 당사자들에게는 선명한 핏빛이었으나 그에게는 막연한 흑백으로 남은 사진이 더욱 그를 침묵하게 합니다. 그는 여기 전쟁의 흔적에 애도하나 사실은 직접 겪지 못했기 때문에 결국 그의 인사는 공허할 뿐입니다. 낡은 전쟁기념관은 그의 발길을 반기지만 그의 어깨는 아무 것도 모르는 자의 어리숙한 뒷모습인 것 같습니다. 하지만 이 작은 반성이 조금이나마 더 나은 미래를 만들어 갈 수 있을지 작은 희망을 걸어봅니다.

[@christp9962]

rest in peace

Er ist nicht tot. Ich sah ihn gestern mit Elvis und Amy durch unsere Einkaufsstraße gehen. 😘🤗

[@soroushyaghoubi7709]

What instruments are used in this piece?

[@dreamaster9000]

From ear, the primary instrument is an organ, backed with trumpets and trombones...

[@Hyder__-ip2og]

soroush yaghoubey oragen

[@christinebeckett5511]

organ, brass (trumpets, trombones, tuba, etc), timpani and some other percussion around the 6 min mark (sounds like a tenor snare), plus samples and electronically manipulated strings, voices, and other timbres

Bahçede kendimi çarmıha gerilmiş bir hâlde tasavvur ediyorum

[@briankoch9786]

I feel like this song was an inspiration to his new song "Arrival"

[@0Ruzena0]

I know him for 8 years so only thing I can say to you is... FUCK OFF ;and get your homework done ;] I was always astounded by the numbers of briliant minds that emerge after something is done

[@TheDennzio]

astounded or stupified?

[@briankoch9786]

I'm confused. Are you insulting me for my opinion about this song in comparison to Arrival? Regardless, he is a master of his work and I am grateful to be exposed to it.

[@bloodrunsclear]

Hmm...that image is very La Jette ;)

[@JoanArmlong]

Is this music from a film??????

[@newwave808]

+Ivanka Dovhoruk its music to the film "The Miner's Hymns", a silent documentary on the Miners of Northern England and their hardships. (you probably figured this out after half a year XD)

[@DAABworks]

+Ivanka Dovhoruk Yes. It's from The Miners' Hymns.

Not trying to be disrespectful, nor critic, this sounds like a "godless Arvo Pârt".

[@benj4087]

that's actually a hilarious and pretty fitting description

[@artistanbul7614]

it really is.

[@charlessomerset2584]

Perhaps secular, but definitely not Godless.
