Is it too late? Perhaps no one will see these post. I lived in Africa. I lived as a young girl in Nairobi. And I loved it. This film brought it all back.: the sound, the people, the smell of the landscape.. My mother is gone now. And yet this is what brings her back to me.

[@IB-1963]

It is yet another Year later than when you posted (2024) now. I hope you are well. I am 60 now and live in Australia. I was born in Lusaka, Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) in 1963 and lived in Africa for the first 12 years of my life. I remember it well. I love this Movie and the Soundtrack - hard to believe the Movie and Sound Track were first released 39 years ago. My father passed away 11 years ago but my mother is still going strong at 86. God Bless

[@mariemartien3887]

It is never too late. I never lived in Africa and a pure white person so to speak but that movie and music made me feel I lived there in a former life. As long of the sounds and evn the smell live around you, know that your Mom is still alive and is looking over you. That movie and music mad me feel like I was flying over my homeland where I can find the beginning and the end, peace at last.I always wanted to go there but I limit my travels to see my Mom in France considering she is 97. Treasure the memories, smell, landscape, the people and the music that brings you back to your Mom. She is technically gone but not spiritually. She lives in you through that. Embrace her spirit

[@lydiagraf1392]

Its never to late.I love this song ,too,because i remember the time when i was young and free. Best wishes to you little girl in Nairobi

This soundtrack is bittersweet for me. I cry every time I hear it. It’s been years now. Me and my brother, my only sibling listened to this together. He was diagnosed in 1986 with AIDS. In 1994 he became ill. He wasn’t ready to die. He fought the battle for 2 years. This lovely song was his favorite. It helped to bring him peace and calmed his heart. Michael was a beautiful person who loved life. I look forward to meeting you in heaven with our Lord.

The flying sequence always reminds me of my Parents. Not because of the plot, but in the fact that the were both instructor pilots who met working together after WWII. They flew open cockpit biplanes and fell in love soaring through the skies, including landing on beaches like in one scene. They would have both turned 100 years old this year. Dad flew with the USAAF in the South Pacific and Mom was a civilian instructor pilot. “The Greatest Generation”. I miss them so.

[@jennybashford4906]

Such a beautiful love story. I read it while listening to the music. I could imagine them landing on the beach

They were the Greatest Generation

[@derkmanley3220]

As much as I appreciate the comments regarding the "Greatest Generation; Every generation, then and Now, faces a common enemy, Evil and Wanton Destruction! A wise theologian once wrote, and I paraphrase, " Nostalgia may reflect a belief that God is exhausted in the Present." Right now, at this very instant, some Sociopathic Bastard is Contemplating an assault upon the Most innocent and vulnerable: Our Children! Columbine, Sandy Hook, Uvalde...The List goes on, and on.. Ad infinitem Evil accosted us when Six Million men, women, and CHILDREN lost their Innocence and Lives at the Hands of Evil!! Our Generation, not the Greatest Generation, who more than did their Part, asks us this Critically Important Question: " Are you, the Generation of 2024, prepared to do YOUR PART?!?" If OUR generation answers with ANYTHING other than an Unflinching, EMPHATIC, "YES !!" Then we have proven ourselves unworthy before GOD and HISTORY!! Innocense, LOVE, and Especially our Beloved CHILDREN, Will ask what We did during The Pandemie of Mass Murder currently Attacking Civilization? Join me, and Millions of Others in Answering that QUESTION. This is Our Normandy, Our Terblinka, OUR obligation to Fight EVIL with All Our Hearts, and All Our Minds, and All OUR SOULS. Join me in OUR sacred And Honorable Task, repudiating and defeating EVIL once AGAIN! Faithfully and With LOVE, The Rev. Derrill B. Manley, Jr, Ph.D

Every time I listen to this music in my house only 5kms away from Karen Blixen's house and at night I hear the lions roaring at the Nairobi National Park, I say to myself just like Baroness Blixen did many decades ago, yes, this is how it was intended.

[@candyparton6472]

I got a chance to co-write with John on the film “Frances.“ The song was cut from the last scene but Sarah Brightman recorded it. If you know the story, you’ll understand why a song with lyric just wouldn’t work.. Out of Africa is my favorite score of his. Besides being a master composer, he was fun, bright and very easy to be around. A gentleman in the best sense of the work. I can’t imagine listening from your house. What an amazing feeling! Namaste

John Barry was not human . He was an alien descended from the high heavens. No human being can aspire to achieve the Godliness of his music. His music was... and is in perfect sync with the Creator. The vastness, the non-perception of time, the drama and the awareness of how negligible is Man compared to all of Creation.

‘Out of Africa’ soundtrack will go down in the annals as one of the most soul stirring soundtracks ! Gives me the goosebumps every time I listen & transports me to the farms of Africa - Salutations to John Barry the legend .

[@peetsnort]

The funny thing is that these foreign people make the place look better than it is. You do realise that if you live in Africa its very difficult

[@laurids2007]

Actually, the film shows both, the bad and the evil, the good and the horrid of Africa in those years. The life of Karen Blixen was hard in Africa. For those who ventured in that continent many times a dream became a nightmare.

L'Afrique, un continent mystérieux, un territoire comme un autre monde en certains endroits encore pur des souillures de ce monde. Cette musique nous transporte dans cette beauté sauvage et rude. L'empreinte que nous laisse l'Afrique sur l'âme et le coeur nous transforme à jamais. Merci Monsieur Barry d'avoir su nous livrer sa douceur et ses mystères dans cette magnifique musique, parce que je l'ai vu se révéler devant moi, votre musique éveille tous mes souvenirs. Quelle nostalgie vous éveillez, j'en ai les larmes aux yeux.

[@junerose-sommer5494]

Absolutely beautiful piece of music!! I cry every time I hear it! Masterful!!!

[@peetsnort]

Me too. I am a big softy and despite being born in zambia and brought up in cape town and living in the UK I always get misty in the eyes.

[@junzheng254]

Classic master piece of music and movie❤❤❤❤

[@marcus-vy4bl]

John Barry is literally the soul of God .I will never understand how a man can create so such beautiful melody

[@StooFras-TheFiresofHell.]

Even here in the end days of 2021 listening to this is amazing, more so in these frightening days.

[@joseguyroger9362]

This music captured my soul . John Barry is one of the greatest composers of all times!

[@marinacaroulias1422]

Indeed a great composer for eternity

[@lasvegaslady702]

John Barry, May you RIP..You have given us so much joy in listening to your music..I can truly say I have lived and loved with your magnificent sounds..Fantasticly Beautiful, It touches my heart and I'm sure every person who has listened to your wonderful music..God Bless!.

[@chrisemmonds6445]

What an absolutely beautiful piece of music

[@MarjorieWong-ym3ft]

Indescribably detaining,this man composed an immortal piece.

[@rgdraconic]

I love that everyone is posting "oh, my mom loved this" or "my mom would play this in the car" and I'm no different. My mom would play this and it's the single song I associate with her, I adore it. I had a hard time processing her death, and this let me feel something.

[@mariemartien3887]

Grieving is a process that never ends really. It might transform into a more subtle and positive thought process. I explain briefly. When my Dad passed away, I had to write about my feelings, which was about the sense of loss, 10 drafts over two years. I let it sit because the more I was getting into it, the more pain I felt. I had to breathe and think what was happening beyond my physical and emotional pain. This is when I suddenly realized, that want it or not, he would never be dead. He just transitioned to another dimension that we truly don't understand. So I totally changed my title from the Sense of Loss to the Metamorphosis. I will always miss him in the physical world but I know that he is in another dimension I can't grasp or understand. This movie/soundtrack brings to an etheral state where all is one, so to speak and if I make sense. Trust me, I miss him in my world every single day but I know he is with through music, art, movies, writings, etc

[@thomassaunders8475]

We may only be a generation and a half species but this score brings our souls to the threshold of eternity!

[@jackjohnhameld6401]

This was playing on the radio in a used bookstore. A pretty young woman asked what it was. It is so beautiful she said.

[@headbangingmama8907]

How right she was! Just beautiful and inspiring!

[@onlybosslion9267]

The movie excellent, as with all John Barry’s music, that to hear, see those movies makes for exceptional excellence. I have to say , it’s probably my favorite. We are blessed to have lived to experience this exceptional music. Beautiful and comforting. The music flirts with one’s life, some highs and some lows. ♥️. This superb music is simply the inspiration of reflection on ones life path and is just excellent. He will be remembered as Loved. 🕊

[@hannahreeve1825]

This was my nans favourite film. She had been to Africa on a holiday and absolutely fell in love with it. This piece of music meant so much to her and to my grandad who was a huge John Barry fan. When we lost them a few years ago we played this at nans funeral. Breaks my heart every time I hear it.

[@kimberlybellefontaine1215]

Oh how I love this beautifully moving music. I remember seeing the movie when it first came out in 1985. I was 25 years old and a HUGE romantic (still am..💕). I fell in love with the movie and the music and had to run out and buy the cassette tape (lol) right away....and now I have the CD. I must’ve listened to this soundtrack thousands and thousands of times. Last time I watched the movie though was probably 30 years ago. Hard to believe it’s been that long....wow. Might have to watch again soon. I was SO in love with that romantic story.....and the romantic music....and with Robert Redford and of course the incomparable Merryl Streep.

[@wallacetrickett1996]

A beautiful score, John Barry 's music really captured the atmosphere and story line of the films he lovingly composed for. This is certainly one of my favourites.

[@matthewperry3637]

A masterpiece for sure x and don't think it can ever be replicated !a lost art maybe in this generation.... I hope not 😞

[@noragonzalez7264]

Yes me too 💖

[@jeancoombs4241]

I loved Africa I wanted to go back it’s soo beautiful . Makes me cry listening to it . I left my heart there ❤️

[@madala9324]

[@davejay15]

Every time I go to montana. I'm home 40 yrs now. I know exactly how you feel. Dances with wolves theme puts me right there. Good stuff.

[@michaelmauro6522]

Once there, a part of you never leaves. For as long as you live, it will call you back.

[@aqualady0]

It smells different too, doesn't it?

[@Sean-ec7pr]

John's music made great films even greater

[@darlenel.hardin8699]

This soundtrack takes my mind to another place. So soothing I often listen to the soundtrack when I get stressed .

[@dawnjohnson3263]

Indeed

[@katmors8689]

This is so difficult to write .... This was me and my mom ❤ we even went to karens house and saw Africa together. Makes this even more painful 😢 thank you mom for everything. I love you and our travels 🌍

[@elizabethmcwilliams7368]

What talent to compose such a beautiful piece of music. Stunning ❤

[@Daniel-vl4nj]

This was one of Grandma's favorite songs. She passed away a few weeks ago and I can't stop crying listening to this.

[@Susan-fj8en]

From this 👵🏻Nanni to your heart ♥️Be at one with her , when you are listening to Your and your Grandmothers communication piece of her Be at peace with her. 🙏 ♥️

[@sharoncermak8444]

This was on TV last night. One of the best love stories and soundtracks ever made. John Barry was simply a genius. See King of Kings, Somewhere in Time The Notebook if you want to see other great love stories...the music makes the story...

[@lynx6124]

Have you ever seen 'Love Story'? great music there too!

[@khaledbackshish]

Listning to John Barry's music will take you to another world of fantasy.

[@josephcavaliere9772]

Yes it did for me, a wonderful memory for all of my life and a true love story I really understand. Dennis life n the movie reminds me of me and my way on handling my relationship with my girlfriend and my wife. He was rite a peace of paper doesn't make ur relationship any better than before.

[@romanocaturegli5448]

For Certain.

[@meshellegriffith4267]

John Barry, thanks for this breath taking music. You touch my soul.
