There is something very haunting about this track.

this is the most terrifying yet the most beautiful music I've ever heard...

Unbelievable that this score was not nominated for an Oscar.

I see a lot of comments of people saying, "I saw this movie once and won't ever watch it again." I've watched this movie at least 5 or 6 times since I first saw it a couple years ago. I get why people wouldn't want to watch it again, but it's such a sobering look at addiction. It's one of the best films ever made, in my opinion.

The true theme song for 2020

Can we please acknowledge the old dude with the trombone he is really feeling his part.

The movie “requiem for a dream” was already a dark, raw and very true tale of addiction, then you add in this masterpiece to really set the mood. I wouldn’t wish addiction on my worst enemy. This movie should be played across every school as a deterrent to stay away from drugs.

Battled addiction for 6 years and it took just about everything from me, but I came out on top. Now I'm clean for 4 years and doing good. This song immediately brought back every single moment of hopelessness and despair I felt in Kensington. Just, amazing.

There could never be a theme describing better how it feels when addiction drives you into insanity. Slowly, painfully, eventually... This is the soundtrack of a life falling apart. This is the theme of an existence burning to ashes. The soundtrack of a dream dying. The requiem for a dream.

I once read a review, it says, _The movie is so good I'm never gonna see it for the second time_ . Really, listening to this theme alone brings back despair.

This belongs amongst the Mozarts & Beethovens. A true modern masterpiece.

This has GOT to be the best version I've heard yet... AND I've heard a LOT of 'em.

People say Hans Zimmer is a genius, but Clint Mansell is out of this world.

I only watched the movie at the cinema, once. The volume was so loud, I felt sick. It was a complete perfect experience. I do not want to taint that memory, so that one time will be the only time I watch it. At the start there was some young men behind me, bit loud, looked upper middle class. Snickering at the main characters use of drugs at the start. When the movie ended, not a single word was said. Snickering was long gone. Nobody actually said a word until we were outside. I felt like shit. By the looks on everyone else, so did they. Perfect.

I am from a small city of India and I don't have much insight on American culture. I always thought life in the first world countries would be a cakewalk. But after watching these kind of movies I got to realise that many people in developed countries as well live a miserable life due to their bad choices.

Every time I listen to this song it gives me goosebumps. It's incredible how many emotions it can bring out. Congrats to this orchestra for the excellent performance.

I can still hear the refrigerator from here

Harold, I'm gonna be on television..

This is one of those masterpiece symphonies that everyone has heard in their lives, whether you know what it is from or not. It represents something incredibly powerful.

Remember when movies and even games had memorable killer soundtracks like this?

"It's a reason to get up in the morning. It's a reason to lose weight. It's a reason to try on THE RED DRESS"

A mistake that makes you humble is bettter than an achievement that make you arrogant.

The groan of the trombone, the sharp piercing shrills of the violins, the flutters of the flutes. You can feel the agony and angst growing 🖤 0:39

Amazing how I can go from calm and content sitting in my living room to actually anxious or suspenseful just with music. I feel like music in a sense is literal magic

The thrombone sound like some ghostly howling , really feels like some poor soul being tortured

Best version I have heard

Не смотрела фильм и никогда не имела зависимостей, но эта композиция тончайше передает посыл умирающего человека в отчаянной, безнадежной борьбе и живущего во внутреннем чистилище, эта музыка как красивое предостережение. Если просмотр записи вызывает столько чувств, то даже не представляю ЧТО было на концерте. Клинт Мэнселл - настоящий Гений! Аплодирую стоя!

Still get chills like the first time I heard it

I want this to be played on my funeral

This is literally the sickest thing I've seen in my life

This score: listen over and over.. The movie? Just once, and never again.

That drop at 3:12 has to be one of the best drops in the history of music !!

It takes courage to watch this movie again

Dramatic, dark and sad, amazing!

I knew the first time a watched this movie, first found about the music and found out it was for a movie, I went to camp, my parents bought and watched it first, also to decide if I also could watch it (I was 14, this was in 2005) when I came back they told me about the present they got me, the movie requiem for a dream, excited to watch it, but it was heavy for my heart, I still have the copy they bought for me, and it is still heavy for me to watch, a great movie.

Есть кто из 2023? ВСЕГДА когда слушаю мурашки,Это шедевр!!!!

I repeat it...but the goosebumps never go

Hands down... The best Thing ever made. Love it. The Soundtrack of my life.

I listen to this every once in a while to feel something.

This piece of work translates all the ascending feeling of the dream, the anxiety of the struggle to rise, and the explosion of decadence that we can see in the movie. Awesome theme!

Charging my phone. Its at 98% while listening to this.. most epic full charge i had....

I wasn't really a fan of the symphony, but when I heard this song, even as a kid, it just made me wonder what else is out there? IT'S THAT GOOD

The music that angels plays during judgement day as everyone runs in fear.

This and Adagio for Strings always gives me goosebumps. Every time.

Absolutely beautiful. Requiem for a Dream is one my favourite films and this is the best live performance of the song in existence.

The gentleman on the muted trombone has my heart - what a talent - truly beautiful

The melody is basically 3 notes and yet it's so profound

How can something be so beautiful, disturbing and powerfully majestic all at once?

If you are getting married, let it be with someone who appreciates this song❤️

Immortal magnificent piece of art

Oh my God, this piece is so powerful... that even a strong person like me causes so many emotions..Clint Mansell conveyed the atmosphere well.

Тот момент, когда гениальный режиссер и гениальные актеры встречаются с гениальным композитором!

A journey to the deepest point of the human soul.. That's requiem for a dream

You can feel. the pain.

This song is about the tragedy of life... only to find yourself fighting, crawling out of a dark hole, finding the courage to put one more step after the other.

The feel of the song is definitely what your life is like as a junkie as everything unravels apart.

The cello is the instrument closest to the human voice. Trombone: I am about to destroy this stringed instrument's career.

why can't the violins go on forever? powerful masterpiece for the ages.

Lux Aeterna and Requiem a dream is such hauntingly beautiful film and song. Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of the ending of the film its beautiful so.. beautiful

YES THIS COMPOSITION HAS SUCH A DRIVING FORCE. THE CONDUCTOR IS SO EXPRESSIVE THAT EACH MUSICIAN KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT TO DO WITH EACH NOTE.

This song has some feelings to it, like sad music, powerful music, intense music, and a lot of other powerful feelings in this. And I LOVE it

I remember the first time I saw this movie and heard this song. I didn't know wtf I was watching but I know what I heard!

Эта музыка одна из лучших вещей что придумали люди. Она такая многогранная и сложная как наша жизнь. Это саундтрек нашей жизни.

I can watch this again and again🧐 . A work of art no mortal can understand

this drama is not a regular drama film. its like cutting deep up to your bone. and this soundtrack is not perfect, it is made in heaven

The twenty+ years which have passed since Mansell composed this piece have been extremely kind. Each note, each tone, each pause, each beat, all the elements have been enriched by the sunshine it receives when performed. Like wine, LUX ÆTERNA, continues to mature into a richer, fuller, more robust reaction in the ear, heartstrings react, accordingly.

Maaan, this takes me way back to 2002. I'd moved interstate and had just got my own place, so I had to move out of the house and warm bed I shared with a beautiful girl and build a new life, starting from almost nothing. I had a single, foam mattress on the floor and a school-size backback full of clothes/ toiletries/ etc. One of the first things I bought after moving in to my new place, was a VCR video recorder. One of my flatmates had Requiem on video, so I borrowed it from her an watched it 3 or 4 times every week! I'd finish up a night shift (I worked security at a pub about 3 minutes walk from my place), come home and heat up a pre-cooked, frozen meal and watch this. Maybe once per week I'd watch The Fellowship Of The Ring (I bought that video soon after moving in), so it wasn't that Requiem was the only thing I could watch. I was just addicted to watching it, for reasons that are still beyond me...

Alguien sigue escuchando esta obra de arte en el 2024?❤️

Absolutely incredible, out of world ❤

Hauntingly beautiful.

The year 2024 and music still lives! Say no to drugs!

The sound that guy is getting from the trombone 😳 so much despair from what is usually a bright and happy instrument 🎺

Это просто божественно, мурашки по коже. Хотелось бы в живую послушать.

That trombone part gives me life. Truly haunting and chilling

saw the movie while is was around my 14s.. Well aware of what could go wrong.. still tumbled into that dark place

This song is the true forbidden fruit, it enters the soul and exposes the whole truth, and the truth is frightening.

Nothing reminds me more of who I was, who I am and who I want to be than this song. These are memories from a sweet, sweet childhood.

It's difficult to put into words how this song makes me feel,. its like a self empowerment from within that makes the hairs on my arms stand up and for once I don't concentrate on all the things that have gone wrong in my life. All of a sudden my mind is racing through thoughts and memories of all my greatest accomplishments as they play out before me like a montage in a movie about my life. It makes me feel strong while at the same time almost bringing a tear to the eye. This is a beautiful piece of music.

I would cry listening to this live. It touches your soul. Incredible piece.

This song makes long dumps feel epic.

Very beautiful version .. I had goose bumps

I'm sure I've commented before but this performance gives me chills every single time I watch it

I've never seen the film. I first heard this piece of music on the intro to Sky Sports News quite a few years ago. Found out the name of it & it's now one of my favourite pieces. It's empowering. It must hit all the right frequencies for me. I feel like I can do anything listening to this.

لم أسمع في حياتي موسيقى تثير الرعب في قلب مستمعها كهذه الأعجوبة

Feels like it could rearrange the universe.

I cannot even describe the beauty in this.. Such a powerful entrance into my soul

What a beautiful performance, mesmerizing 🙌

Excellent ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I tell a different story in my head everytime I listen. Beautiful work from world class Clint Mansell

Уффф, у меня даже слёзы полелись. Сильно, очень сильно

What happened to film industry nowadays??!! why they're not making such a masterpiece anymore ughhh

Gives me chills every single time, without fail

Too beautiful this song! 😍

2:25 that transition there is breathtaking

A powerful soundtrack... the ominous music is permeated ever, by an inexorable pulse of tragedy and doom, from the low passages to the more intense sections and viceversa! A true masterpiece of film music!

This is a wonderful example of film music being used in the best possible way, because the film and the music reinforce each other so much. I get goosebumps every time I hear it, 10 years after having watched the film. On its own, although it is a good piece, it is not powerful enough for that reaction. The reason is that during the film it slowly gets imbibed with the emotion on screen, and in turn amplifies what is on screen. The film is made more potent by the emotion bound into the music, and the music by the emotion it is attached to. And it is a film that just continually escalates, relentlessly. And the end result is something that neither could have achieved independently. It is a unique film in how strongly I both want and do not want to watch it again

Im going to be fine Harry Im going to be in Televisión

Woah. This is such a good version! I can't believe new versions are still being made.

I adore a mad conductor!! Those movements!

This music really does something to you I can't stop listening to it
