The Gael - Last of the Mohicans Theme (Dougie Maclean)

[@clothilde1623]

You can’t walk past a tourist shop in Edinburgh, Scotland, without hearing _Last Of The Mohicans_ being blasted out on the bagpipes. I hear it every day and I still bloody love it. ❤️

My friend knew Dougie MacLean well. When he died, we had this played at his funeral. This will always remind me of him, so I know how you feel xx

[@broadwaymelody33]

My dad remembers seeing this in cinemas with my mom. She was pregnant with my sister and rather hormonal, and was rather taken with Daniel Day-Lewis. When he is yelling to Cora "I will find you!" my mom blurted out to the screen "Okay!" in a flustered breathless voice and the whole theatre burst out laughing. 20+ years on and no one lets her live it down XD

There is a definite relationship between gaelic music and trance where by it touches the deepest darkest and wildest parts of your soul.

[@sherbuc123]

Gaelic and tribal !! Yes.. to your soul

[@twentytwo138]

I agree, i think the impact of traditional and tribal music is very similar to modern electronic trance music, especially if there's no singing involved, only music. They both take you to another world just with the rhythm, melodies, instruments and/or electronic sounds. Music without singing is more intense because you get to create your own world, and you forget the music is made by a human, it feels otherworldly.

Where General Braddock lay in a grave along a road. I grew up in the midst of where history happened. My ancestors were here at that time, settling the frontier.

Simply put the making of music itself is a science, or as Elvis Costello once said " trying to describe the creation of music is like dancing to architecture".

It's because we're emotional people. Words can evoke anger and fear but also protective feelings and physical responses, it can give you hope and help when you need it. You put that to music that touches the heart and you can bring about all kinds of responses. It's called being human. I really enjoyed the movie but the music brought it all together. Watch "the patriot". It's the same. Music brings you into the movie, makes you part of it.

I belong to sharnuud tribe for example, while Chinggis was Kyan tribe which was one of 3 ruling clans of Hun empire. The last thing, don't get angry on me, is alcoholizm. But difference is, we Mongolians got beards, and especially in central Mongolia we have groups that children in little age got white-blonde hair and green-gray eyes, funny thing is their hair turns black when they grow up, but green or grey eyes remain same. Maybe we got some blood from now extinct "white skinned blue eyed barbarians" mentioned many times in ancient chinese histories.

When we were little, my sisters and i used to dance around to this song in the kitchen, (which had the most space) and we would climb on top of stools and twirl across the linoleum, pretending that we were Native Americans, climbing up mountains and dashing through rivers, doing nothing in particular but enjoying the song and being our own, crazy selves

[@dougherron8255]

@Kalamere S "Gael" does not refer only to Irish. We Scots are Gaels too - hence the language of the Highlands & Islands is called "Gaelic"!!! And FYI the composer Dougie MacLean is a Scotsman - born in Dunblane in central Scotland (where Andy Murray also grew up...).

[@JimmyRnj]

Gaelic culture originated in Ireland and was brought to Scotland by the Irish Dál Riatans.

[@3jdni]

^ That's about as stupid as saying the English aren't English, they're German or Norse, Roman even...

[@brucecollins4729]

@@JimmyRnj you should look up the origins of the scots and irish gaels on irish grigenes for a more realistic and accurate account

[@wildcatmahone-md6me]

The Irish refer to their native language as gaelic also. Irish Welsh and Scots are all gaelic peoples. Celts too but thats part of a broader regional culture.

[@jasonlowery1399]

Why does this song hit me deep in my soul? Beautiful!

[@xseqer6770]

Besides its own inherent beauty, could it be its 'association' with GENOCIDE, AND with a literary masterpiece, perhaps?

[@heathercunningham4855]

I first discovered this song when I came across circa paleo playing it on KZbin, and since then it's become my favourite thing to listen to, and play on the violin:)

[@Jesushatespolicemen]

Gives me cold chills every time, like I just saw a ghost. Genius!

[@jockmcscottish7569]

Adagio for Strings - Samuel Barber (Platoon),The Godfather - Speak Softly Love Classic version, Now we are free - Hans Zimmer and this great tune is a case where both movie and soundtrack were just amazeballs. Hymn to the fallen - Saving private Ryan, The Good The Bad The Ugly tune, I'm probably missing loads more

[@jamescurrie596]

I have been enthralled by the movie since first seeing it and particularly by The Gael and love playing it on my harmonic harmonica. It becomes haunting when played slowly in single notes and sounds like a bagpipe lament. It will stay with me forever.

[@Vikingr4Jesus5919]

Dang, Dougie Maclean! You stir every drop of Celtic blood in me!

[@favioavennicci4541]

Honestly Dougie Maclean's version sounds more like a tears for fears song. Personally I like this version better.

[@tinytantrum99]

Favio Avennicci Do you know if this version is on Spotify?

[@favioavennicci4541]

Sadly no, though there are tons of other versions

[@somegoodish]

same and im not even celtic

[@Vikingr4Jesus5919]

somegoodish Haha, imagine then how I (and others with Celtic blood may) feel ^^

[@SharonMau]

The theme "The Gael" for Michael Mann's "Last of the Mohicans" (1992). The song is composed by Dougie Maclean.

[@dylanhealy8126]

Alpha Co. 2nd Platoon, 1st Battalion, 19th Infantry Regiment, 198th Infantry Brigade was the unit I graduated from at Sandhill, Fort Benning in 2013 to become a US Army Infantryman. This is the music they played when our company marched on to the field to “turn blue” and receive our Infantry Chord. Luckily my dad, a Vietnam Infantry vet with the 101st, got to put my Blue Chord on officially making me an Infantryman. I loved this piece before I joined, I love it even more now. Very emotional

[@EMTBLife]

Stay fierce brother 💪

[@stormrevenant]

One of my favorite fighters, Fabricio Werdum, walked out to this theme in UFC 188. So epic!

[@johngialanellajr8650]

How can you not love this song. Outstanding. I have watch "The Last of The Mohicans' about 6 times for the Movie and for this song. It sounds more Irish then Scottish.

[@beowulf3346]

Love the movie and this soundtrack. This type of music make u want to go back to that time again.

[@thecrowrains]

This movie, for me, portrays the Indigenous, ancestral Native Americans as a proud, strong, intelligent, and fierce people from east to west! All of us!

[@t78646]

diddo:)

[@newcasual22]

So we're most cultures\people around the world the Celts, the gales the pics the germancis etc

[@FelinePaints]

i agree with you all - all native peoples of the world were noble- from australia to greenland - it was the industrial revolution that killed our souls.

[@TheZombieman87]

***** But without the Industrial Revolution, we would not have computers.

[@FelinePaints]

Samuel Lord True, I don't claim that it was 100% bad (as I sit in a heated room in australia on a chinese made computer, listening to dutch music and drinking african coffee) - but I do think that a lot was lost in industrialisation- much of our sense of community, spirituality and connection with the land for example. It would be nice to have those things back... AND keep my computer and coffee

[@TheThingInMySink]

Watching lines of infantry advance in Darthmod: Empire with this playing is the best thing ever.

[@henrypjoyce]

OMG Yes!

[@TheThingInMySink]

Revolutionary dude Why hello there comrade Stalin

[@henrypjoyce]

+MyNameIsMud Greetings comrade mud. Judging by your name, you grew up in the farmlands of soviet Union!

[@TheThingInMySink]

Revolutionary dude Indeed i did tovarisch, well my real name is Mut or муть as my comrades in the motherland would write it, but you see Yosif, in this day and age one must have a name that can be globally understood, Вы знаете?

[@henrypjoyce]

+MyNameIsMud Да товарищ

[@Steve-ps6qw]

It is interesting that the women comment on the looks of the man but for me, the draw is the bound between the father and son, the warfare and sacrifice. I don't expect women to understand these, except for sacrifice as they too sacrifice. But to fight along side your father and him dying is strangely honorific and definitely tragic. When the movie came out my son was an infant and I thought of me and my father....almost 30 years later my father has passed and my son is as old as I was when the movie released....so in my mind it is now me and him and I am passing the torch to him as I pass away. It is weird how a scene in a movie, coupled with a song, can have such strong emotional meanings for someone. This song always brings tears to my eyes and a visceral sense of honor, commitment, and sacrifice.

[@boydah69]

You get it, my friend. This film and the soundtrack evoke the bond I have with my sons and daughter. They are all fine, well balanced young adults now, completed university and yet still very good outdoorsmen, all can shoot, cook, fish, hold a job and sit with me watching classic movies like this and talking about the themes over a glass of red afterwards.

[@thegreatmoustachio]

I like to listen to this while I type essays. It's soothing, and inspires me.

[@thegreatmoustachio]

Halfway done with an essay, and I need some inspiration in my life.

[@maximusmeridius1240]

I love music filled with emotion

[@j-man6001]

So many chills! Every time I hear this!! A truly great movie as well

[@aqx770]

When I was young I ran through the woods just like the opening of this movie. A powerful memory.

[@joeyburgess748]

this track is so amazing I just love it so much

[@MichaelDadourian]

One of my favorite all-time soundtracks and film. Definitely added a great deal to this film.

Forget your personal hangups we are all the people some of us more tribal than others and we feel a passion as the cold shiver goes down our back when we see our ancestors in these historical renactments we see our strengths and faults English lakotah
