[@gorbunovvv]

"Coward" track is actually from the scene, where protagonist is going to die from suffocation. The scene with damaged spaceship entering the atmosphere is "No time for caution". Although it uses the same music theme as "Coward", but in more intense way.

[@ediguzelis8034]

Actually in the “Mountains” the rhythm is 42.58 bpm every ~1.4 seconds a tic and if you do the math, 42.58 bpm = 2,555 bph (beats per hour) and there is 2,555 days in 7 years “Seven years per hour here. Let’s make it count.” That means every tic symbolises a day past in the earth (Alp uçar have mentioned this 3 months before me I haven’t seen the comment credit to him)

[@howlbigbadwolf]

Entertain The Elk if you were able to watch this movie in a true IMAX theater, or Dolby Digital Atmos theater, the music itself was in certain cases better than what was going on on the screen. It was almost deafening in certain parts, but considering the emotional impact they wanted the movie and music to have, it was very necessary. I actively seek out finding music by Hans Zimmerman, and Alan Silvestri, and John Williams.

[@BuceGar]

The writers intentionally wrote the dialogue for the robots the way you would write for a human. It's very natural and casual, not stilted and grammatically correct. This made them great characters. "See you on the other side Coop."

[@rezmir7115]

"When they arrive on Miller (the water planet), this track starts to play. A prominent feature of the track is a constant ticking. I just timed 60 seconds of the track, and there were 48 'ticks'. So, each 'tick' interval is 1.25 seconds. "Every hour on Miller is about 7 years on Earth" There are 3600 seconds in an hour, and (86400 x 365.25 x 7) or roughly 221,000,000 seconds in 7 years, giving us a conversion factor of 221,000,000/3600 ≈ 61400 seconds which pass on Earth for every second spent on Miller. Times this by the interval between each 'tick', and you get 77000 Earth-seconds, about 21 hours. So, each 'tick' you hear is a whole day passing on Earth." -u/baronarcher (r/interstellar)

The way that it evokes both awe and wonder of the unknown (venturing into outer space) while also casting undertones of sorrow and longing (leaving your daughter, family, and home planet behind) is incredibly powerful. Not to mention how the immense build up literally culminates in a rocket taking off. Interstellar has got to be Hans Zimmer's best work.

Personally I think it's Nolan's best -excluding Momento- because it's the only one of his films driven by emotion and a key relationship as opposed to an intellectual action movie such as Dunkirk. I mean arguably Dunkirk has an emotional backbone- but no where near to that of Interstellar in my opinion. But anyone you're entitled to your own opinion, I guess I kinda just defeated the purpose of this comment but because I spent five minutes writing it I'm gonna post it anyway haha.

[@sparkles7560]

*sierra_aviator* If you’re talking about that short story of a father leaving his daughter that Nolan gave to Zimmer as a guide, he didn’t lie to him. I actually think the main point of this movie is the father/daughter relationship with the daughter waiting for her father (hence this touching soundtrack, compared to other space-based movies, and that notion of time passing by) so Nolan knew what he was doing.

Hey, Im in your wife's english class and she told us about your channel, and my gosh i love this channel! Keep up the good work!!

[@EntertainTheElk]

Thanks for reaching out Vicente! I'm glad you dug it. Enjoy your summer vacation.

[@hardikpshah25]

Ok, so this is something amazing I’m taking away from this video, the importance of music in any video content! And the Anatomy of Story!😀 thank you Elk🙂

[@TheChuckers123]

What a great nuance! It's the little things like this that makes Interstellar my favorite film of all time. Saw it 4 times in the theater! Also the song that plays when the ship is falling towards Mann's planet is "No Time For Caution." It transitions from "Coward" to "No Time For Caution" once they're in space. Love your videos

[@EntertainTheElk]

Thanks so much! Yeah, sounds like the confusion comes from the fact that there's a bonus version of the Interstellar soundtrack. They're always trying to trick me! But glad you still liked the video. :)

[@SideReverse]

Yeah, I was gonna comment the same thing. Although, there's one thing missing. In between Coward and No Time For Caution is actually Imperfect Contact which plays when Cooper and Brand flies behind Dr Mann toward the Endurance (basically once they're in space) and plays until Dr Mann destroys the airlock, transitioning right into the chorus for No Time For Caution.

[@wantsomecoffe]

it says coward on the cd album

[@chiffmonkey]

The original release doesn't have No Time for Caution on it. You have to find it as a bonus track released later on Zimmer's website. I know, stupid right?

[@TheChuckers123]

chiffmonkey that wasn’t the case for me. Maybe it was different for me because I’m in the US? But I preordered the OST after seeing the film. And I had all the tracks no problem. Including “No Time For Caution.” However, the version of “No Time for Caution” that’s in the OST is different the theatric version because the climax in the OST version is strings while in the film it’s an organ. So maybe that’s what you were referring to? But yeah the song that plays during the docking scene is “No Time for Caution” watch the scene and listen to it. It’s pure beauty.

Great explanation. Thanx!

[@Brother7902]

My all-time favorite soundtracks: Interstellar, Cinema Paradiso and LOTR as a whole. I'd like to see an analysis on Danny Elfman's "Main Titles"/"Farewell" in Spiderman 1. Or Wojciech Kilar - Exodus, used in Malick's Knight of Cups👌🏻

[@EntertainTheElk]

Love it!

[@originalflimflam]

The Cinema Paradiso soundtrack is soooo good but I don't know anyone who knows the film- makes me sad it deserves more credit.

[@Exel3nce]

Harvey Graham never heard of it so it seems like i have to look it uo

[@eternalnjem]

Lotr soundtrack is godly

[@colormen12]

Try man of steel by hans zimmer. Self/less ost. Children of the sun and earth - assassins creed 2

[@zephyr-117sdropzone8]

The "What Happens Now?" track is simply mesmerizing.

[@thedude5600]

I remember the first ever time I saw this film. The score blew my mind! Incredible story telling thorough sounds.

[@u0aol1]

All hail the algorithm. Beautifully explained man, subscribed!

So good dude. Keep it up!

[@EntertainTheElk]

Thanks so much!! :)

[@sprles12243648]

oh and now i find out the breaking banter guys follow you. It's only natureal that i liked the video xD. Really looking forward to watching your future work!

[@theoneguy214]

Intrestellar music makes me cry of how beautiful it is

[@friend610]

it’s very interesting as to how a ticking noise- no matter how slight- immediately raises suspense,

[@TG-Maverick22]

Incredible analysis. 5/5! I would not skip ads for this video.

[@hrez4367]

My favorite movie. Everything about it. I listen to the soundtrack as if its a regular song and it brings me to chills every time, there is just something about it.

[@pilarwolf8818]

I miss interpreted the title as “What makes Interstellar music so terrifying” as in Interstellar music in general.

[@luciene4696]

Helo! I'm talking about Brazil (oi gente!) and I was super happy to see that your video had Brazilian Portuguese subtitles! Thank you so much for thinking about us!

[@Curiosityhub752]

Found you from tiktok. Do not regret a single thing, keep up the great work man!

[@JIREN972]

The elk sound at the beginning was the best

[@nezasumi]

I think the two songs are actually “Mountains” and “No Time for Caution”, but other than that, great video! I love the movie Interstellar, especially TARS, the ‘walking refrigerator’ robot, according to my friends.

[@EntertainTheElk]

Thanks so much! Yeah, the extended version of the soundtrack tricked me!

[@0nshore]

The song that plays on during the docking scene is actually called “no time for caution.” Coward plays earlier

[@kirandeepchakraborty7921]

Excellent Analysis

[@Karma-ry4sb]

Me: What are you doing? Mom: parallel parking. Me: no we can’t do that there’s no enough space Mom: No it’s necessary. Mom: How much space is in the parking area? Me: 10 feet long and 7 feet wide Mom: if I pass out you take the wheel Mom: Engage parking mechanism Mom: INITIATE REVERSE Me: cmon MOM Me: cmon MOM Mom: EVEN OUT Edit: why does this have 200 likes lol

No matter what, the docking scene vive me goosebumps every single time, almost cried. Especially the moment when they see the mute explosion.

[@adityachandranart]

Every time I listen to this it gives chills in my spine.

[@tpsdefacdmy]

I've seen Interstellar three times already, yet I still can't say "again..?" when we decide to watch it again.

[@luciantheisland2956]

“Mountains” is the best song I’ve ever heard

[@shagirani5518]
