Blade Runner 2049 - Tears In Rain Slowed Extended

All rights of the Original "Tears in the Rain" go to Hans Zimmer and Wallfisch (for the 2049 track, the original Blade Runner Tears in the Rain goes to Vangelis).
Enjoy! :)

When i was younger, my dad and I went to blockbuster and rented the original blade runner. He had watched it numerous times when he was younger, and he told me how good of a movie it was. Being only like 7 or so at the time, I didn’t think to much of it. But when we got home, and put it in the disc player, I was instantly infatuated with the deep storyline and rich music of the film. I like to think that this movie really shaped my childhood, and I couldn’t think of a better candidate for that title. Now that 2049 has come out, my dad can’t get enough of it. I remember how giddy he was to see it in theatres, so eager to relive that beautiful experience that the first movie delivered. He watches it time and time again, and it makes me so happy to see him this way. In conclusion, blade runner changed my life, it shaped me into what I am today. Thanks for your time lol.

That's beautiful to hear man. Movies transcend physical boudaries of inspiration. I myself watched 2049 more than two handfull, excellent visual and mindbending depth. cheers.

[@Фостер-б6ш]

Thanks for the kind words! I also became interested in the first part as a young man, and the original soundtrack from the film became an integral part of my life, I fell asleep to this music for many sleepless nights. When I learned about the release of the 2nd part of the film, for a while I did not find a place for myself. In the cinema, I sat the whole movie without stirring. The continuation of the film surpassed all my expectations, so harmoniously and in spite of the years separating the two parts, the picture of 2049 is a wonderful continuation of the original film. I apologize for my English.

I swear Bladerunner was honestly the most realistic of the sci-fi movies in how the world could be like during a space age. The parts I liked the most were probably the music, which in itself told much of the story and the mood of the characters and this piece was by far the best. Still puts me into tears every time I watch that scene at the end, and hearing that speech while the rain fell. Definitely still one of the better movies out there if only for the feels alone.

[@vedantdesai1]

It’s still the most realistic future that sci-fi depicts. With the tech boom, development in AI, and extensive genetics and bio-cybernetics research we are having along with the rise in poverty, disparity and income inequality and rapid urbanization of countries mixed with the shifts towards monopolistic markets and trillion dollar conglomerates… this future isn’t far from a realistic possibility. Probably why cyberpunk sci-fi is my favorite genre

I'm a DJ, and that's relevant for later. When I was growing up, I didn't realize the impact the original movie had on so many people, like my father and millions of others. When I got older, however, and started really getting into film and audio, I started watching it with my father and realizing how important this movie truly was. When he passed in 2011, Blade runner was the first movie I watched after his death and Roy's death scene shook me to the core for reasons I don't truly know if I'll ever get over. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago and I am doing a themed set for a Cyberpunk night. Of course, I had to play almost everything from the original Blade Runner OST. There is no Cyberpunk without BR. For the final song, I chose the original Tears in Rain, complete with Roy's speech. When it started to play, I could feel all the emotion coming back after years of my father being dead. I held my composure as best I could until the set finally ended on that song, and then excused myself and cried in the back, hard. I didn't know it at the time, but the night I was DJing and played that song and cried, was the night of the same day Rutger Hauer had passed. That hit me hard. I don't know if there will ever be a time when i don't hear this song from now on and not tear up. I never once, in my life, thought a piece of music with a few lines of monologue would ever bring me to tears, but Vangelis, Rutger Hauer and my father all showed me it's not only possible, but also that it will hit hard. I thank the 3 of them for the wonderful gift they have given me, and this song is truly one I will always cherish.

Vangelis is one of those big bangs in music. He defined another site for music. Or discovered deeper depth of this immortal and eternal art ... now many are following his step in music . When I listen to prelude song, I go directly to the valley of eden, hovering into the air of eternity, I can clearly see, where no feelings and no memories exist, just me and eternal peace ... Vangelis created these atmospheres in music, and no body can get even close to him, some way he knew the right chords and harmonies , It is as if with the help of an ancient goddess, he had found the lost ancient and celestial melodies and rhythms of universe.

[@Cloud5472]

When I as younger, I watched a movie called "Blade Runner" with my brother and father. I don't recall much of my reaction to the film, other than laughing at a replicant death scene and my brother doing the same. Over time, the film slipped from my memory until my roommate John asked if I had ever seen it. I said no, and to be honest I didn't realize it was that film until I was at the scene of the replicants death that I had laughed at as a child. But I didn't laugh this time. I watched in silence, and continued the movie to completion, absorbing every scene I could looking for a deeper meaning that I knew was right in front of me. Beyond the greater meaning, beyond who was human and machine, beyond the subtle nuances of the great film, i think the greatest thing about this film is overlooked because many don't realize it when they see it. The thing the film cherishes so much, life, is the very thing that makes the film better. I feel that the more I live, the more I grow and learn, the more I realize how insignificant and small we are, and how terribly close to death we all are- the better the film becomes. Because after all, all these moments will be lost in time. Like tears. In the rain.

[@GeigermSv]

Blade Runner shouldn't be watched in your prime youth, you'll find it laughable or boring. But after having been dulled by the constraints of being a grown up, confronted to the lost of loved ones, illness, depression, social alienation, feeling of losing yourself, to be fed up playing a role, chasing rainbows and cynism, then this movie will be a striking one and maybe you'll stop underlooking it. Because Roy Batty's monologue will be the most beautiful and sincere memento mori you definitely wasn't expecting. And then you'll feel again, painfully, what is it to be human, how it's both a loathing but exquisite experience. Loathing as we often fool ourselves to flee our existential loneliness or emptiness, exquisite because even if we're nothing on a cosmic scale we can imagine, create and appreciate beauty in tiny details.

For many years fans of Blade Runner like myself have considered this tale as the eye opener to what we know as chaos today. Watching this film back in 1982 it struck a serious chord when we saw how man has dropped to a new low in creating machines to do our dirty work and not once get thanked for it in the process. Not that a machine would understand the word thanks unless it had awareness to process the word. Be it as it may, Ridley Scott gave us a timeless classic in a noir detective thriller set in a gritty, visceral atmosphere one cannot help but describe it as nothing less than hell on earth. The music set a perfect standard to offer hope to the hopeless, a light to those stuck in the dark and for others, it was a new wave of technology that has helped the movie industry push forward with new ideas in film. Such as Children of men, Sunshine, Snow piercer, and its new sequel - Blade Runner 2049 which had finally won two academy awards. But vangelis will live on in the original Blade Runner simply because he gave us the ability to imagine beyond the dirt, grime, and violence set in a city that's ready to collapse from its own shortsightedness. Nothing short of brilliant music which compels one to leap beyond logic.

I watched Blade Runner as a kid in Mexico. I didn't know what to expect. I guess I thought it was gonna be just another sci-fi flick. From the 1st frame the movie captivated me and I was mesmerized. I won't lie to you and say that I had an existential epiphany or something similar because I didn't. I was far too young to entertain that kind of thought process. In fact, I remember walking out and not quite understanding what I had just witnessed. I was confused. What was that? I didn't even know if I liked it or not, but what I do remember is that it stuck with me. I kept thinking about it for a very long time. The dystopian imagery and above all the music. It just engrained itself into my psyche and it never left. I kept going back to Los Angeles, November 2019 throughout the years and I soon realized that Blade Runner is the GREATEST sci-fi movie of all time.

I read somewhere that Rutger improvised that last soliloquy. Can someone verify that?

[@gelatinskeleton8745]

I can’t explain how much I love this. BR is the best science friction film ever. And, Tears In The Rain is the most emotional piece of the film.

I’m gonna cry when I play this 15 years from now Bc I had such a connection with this masterpiece. I played the soundtrack almost everyday when I was going thru a dark phase in my life.

One can creep up to a clock as slowly as one can, but the clock knows your end, on every hand. So don't give up, just keep on going, you'll be here until the stars stop glowing. This feeling, this ache, the time it will take, to realize that what you are is not who you are, but who you are is better by far, even if that will be lost, like tears, in the rain. Something will bear your memory, a link, a trace, a memory of a smile, a touch, a face. Keep going. It's worth it.

Those few lines were actually written by Rutger Hauer himself. Ridley Scott let him compose the end of Roy Batty life and Ridley liked it enough to keep it in the movie. It was a wonderful piece in the movie. RIP Mr Hauer. You will be missed.

I saw the first film at a pre-release viewing I. London, seem to remember the tickets were cut out of Starburst magazine. Went with my friend and the queue was around the block! I was mesmerised fro that first moment. Seen the film SO many times and still love it today (in my 60’s now). My son and I went to see 2049 at the cinema and we both enjoyed it, Hans Zimmer did a great job of recapturing the mood of Vangelis’ original score. So. Ice to see younger people discovering this brilliant movie with its ever more pertinent themes. 😊

[@koaekea]

The flame of life hangs on by a flickering thread. A constant wind, threatening it’s very existence. Despite the attacks, it continues to burn. It continues to thrive. Fueled by the thought of existing; not wanting to give up this gift it was given. The opportunity to be real. To acknowledge truth and meaning. Forever infatuated with the emotions and feelings that life stirs. Such a beautiful thing, this small, little flame.

[@ik6261]

One of the best films I seen as a child 👌 the sort of film that lives long in the memory. For the time it came out it was way before it's time the original. A masterclass from all the team involved. You just dont get films like this now a days and never will! Times have changed for sure. God bless ever one and stay safe 💯👌

[@brettthomas7038]

If you feel like giving up, remember that where you are right now... might have been where you were so desperately dreaming of being this time last year, last week, yesterday. I implore you...keep going. It's terrifying right now, true. It's sad. It's frustrating, it's frightening. There isn't much light. But there isn't anything if you give up. Keep going. It's worth it, even if it doesn't feel like it now.

HellcatHD - Not a retcon at all. It was Deckard’s way of invalidating Wallace’s power move. Dismissing his creation, and his pride, with a petty detail-one that doesn’t even happen to be true.
