And Arrival elevated this song.

[@derpeter5523]

Yea, they kinda elevated each other. They gave completely new meanings to each other. The story of Arrival made this song even more heartbreaking but still calming, and the song made the scene so damn intense.

[@apersiannihilist5632]

It was written for shutter island

To be honest i think this is the most beautiful piece of music ever written and im not sure why but whenever i listen to this i get a huge lump in my throat and tears from my eyes and i feel the pure beauty of this music but also i feel a pain in my soul i can't explain. For me no other piece of music has this affect on me.

This score can make any adult cry like a baby first, and then fills you up with so much strength at the end. What a powerful music.

The last of us episode 3 could literally be a stand alone movie of a beautiful romantic tale with the most perfect ending! It’s one of the best episodes I’ve ever watched and this music was the cherry on the top

[@thtswhtshesai6d9]

This has always been my favorite piece of music-it literally draws tears from my eyes the second I hear the violin enter. When I watched that Last of Us episode I was already on the verge of crying…then I hear this song start and it immediately came flooding out of me 😭 I’m not a big cryer during movies and my gf had never seen anything bring me to tears so quickly lol I had to explain that this song just gets me for some reason.

[@oliverjames7315]

In a similar way to Arrival being paired with this, Ep3 changed me. Never been so broken by something so beautiful.

[@dameinoferrall2400]

This makes me think of two people who love each other deeply but know it isn't meant to be and the fact that they both realize this and must acknowledge it, is tearing them apart inside.

Yes I agree Damein . In fact it's happening with me and a dear friend I've loved from afar , for over 25 years . I've written a poem about it ________ to this song . If you would please have a listen and read my words while you play the video I would be most grateful . It sets the pace and the tone . (I hope you agree but it's not important that you do ) Thank You My dear , my dear 'tis for naught which you fear Your grace , your elegance , your style and your charm , are all I shall ever have need Be it day , be it night , 'tis a beautiful sight each time I look upon thee If nothing I say reaches into your heart , nor changes the thoughts there conceived Believe that the angels in heaven give me life , but you are the air that I breathe .

Watching this with the current situation the world is living, makes think and reflect.... Will it be possible at some point to recover our lives before the pandemic? It's sad to think that even the music got affected with the orchestras being unable to play on a stage.

I agree with you. But I need to also disagree with you. I knew about this piece when watching "Arrival". It's so beautiful and so suited to the movie I couldn't forget it even after the movie ended.

[@veralustina]

Yes for Shutter Island. For me this music shows pain like nothing else

[@Varmer]

it's strange how this piece sounds better as a humble string quintet, than it does on full orchestra. Still a masterpiece, but man, did Max hit bullseye with this one.

[@amirmahdikarimi3736]
