I am a 77 year old Japanese. I started learning the violin at the age of 65, and stumbled across the songs I wanted to play most. This "Theme of Yumeji" composed by Mr. Umebayashi is now a song that I want to deliver to those who are lying in bed in the corona, medical doctors who treat it, and everyone who has died of disease. There is no. Peace of mind for those who do not open their eyes again, thank all of the medical staff, and gently practicing so that they can gently approach the wounds of the hearts of people who break the current situation and start walking. Sorry for the poor English

"In the old days, if someone had a secret they didn't want to share... you know what they did?...They went up a mountain, found a tree, carved a hole in it, and whispered the secret into the hole. Then they covered it with mud. And leave the secret there forever."

Here we are, people from different places of our planet, gathering together to listen to this piece of art. Hello from Kazakhstani 18 years old girl who is in love with this music.

I am a 47 year woman who's been dreaming about this song for 35 years

I'm near about 78 years of age but I'm now in full of love hearing such mind blowing music. Thank God I'm still alive and still hearing such music.

If melancholy had a sound, if longing could speak, if the shoulders you cry on had notations, if strings could hold the weight of pain, if vibrations in the air were sad one day, if the definition of hope and defeat had the same language, it would sound like this piece.

"He remembers those vanished years. As though looking through a dusty window pane, the past is something he could see, but not touch. And everything he sees is blurred and indistinct. " Such a beautiful movie

Is nobody going to talk about the beautiful paintings? They are absolutely beautiful.

A song that has no words but tells your story only you know ♡

"Chow: In the old days, if someone had a secret they didn't want to share... you know what they did? Ah Ping: Have no idea. Chow: They went up a mountain, found a tree, carved a hole in it, and whispered the secret into the hole. Then they covered it with mud. And leave the secret there forever."

This is for you. My impossible love.Mónica.

This music helped me a lot to go through the depression last year. Very close to my heart now. "Melancholy is the happiness of being sad. - Victor Hugo"

"He remembers those vanished years as though looking through a dusty window pane, the past is something he could see, but not touch, and everything he sees is blurred and indistinct..."

“La mélancolie c'est le bonheur d'être malheureux” V. Hugo

Here am I an 86 year old woman moved to move to the beat of this exquisite theme as it flows in me, around me, music so sad yet so alive and full of inspiration for the next moment, the next breath, grateful more than can be told that there is such music, such musicians... gracias a Dios

Early Night It's raining lightly outside By the window In a dimly lit room Welcome ache of loneliness Resonates through heart Wrapped in the comfort of distant colorful memories

the secret of this kind of music, is in its simplicity, captures your attention, and makes you fly, listen to it with feeling, you will realize that it is talking with your soul Thank You

Why is sad beautiful? Why is my heart breaking, but I cannot stop listening? I come back to this every night...like a soul who has departed but calls me to listen to his voice.

If you haven't seen the movie this song is featured in (also called 'In the Mood for Love') you really should, it's a masterpiece!

i play this piece...night after night....on two separate devices. I dont sync them up. I play one for a couple measures then I start the other. For 12 wrenchingly beautiful minutes as one piece falls and rises the other rises and falls in a conversational echo. I feel like Im a part of the conversation. This. Is. Everything. Thank you Shigeru Umebayashi. Deeply humbled and grateful.

This makes me feel I’m living a life I don’t have

He remembers those vanished years. As though looking through a dusty window pane, the past is something he could see, but not touch. And everything he sees is blurred and indistinct.

Here in Seattle, alone. This piece does wonders. Makes me want to fly, in dream land, and visit each of you who have commented. The farthest star, I'm here

My mind is blown that I haven’t yet heard this - it speaks to me strongly. What a gift every day is.

This is one of the favourite music of my teacher and he plays this on every lessons.😂

This song is for the people who want to find some peace while their souls are wandering through the delicate notes of the violin.

This string arrangement is unique - I love it so much!🎻♥️🎻

"It is a restless moment. She has kept her head lowered... to give him a chance to come closer. But he could not, for lack of courage. She turns and walks away."

I love sitting at night sipping whiskey listening to this and thinking everything is in slow motion

The most beautiful sadness I have experienced

Эта мелодия - поцелуй от Бога, преданный через автора. Когда слышу её, чувствую как душа начинает рыдать, даже не понимаю, почему. Люблю вас всех. Это музыка вечности

Впервые слышу : Шигер Умебаяси... Прекрасная мелодия. Она поддержит нас в неудачах, разочарованиях и будет радовать , когда мы счастливы. Как красиво звучит скрипка , пронзительно и одновременно умиротворённо. Автору -- Браво! Скрипке -- Браво!

This music sounds like a conversation. It's an indistinguishable but beautiful language

As a former violinist, the beauty of the tone and phrasing in this evocative performance brings a transcendence to the beauty of the composition of music and art. 🙏🏻❤️

I turned 25 last month and I've been never in love or in a relationship. I am still studying and got so many insecurities and worries for the future. This piece reminds me of all those things in a romantic, cheesy way, yet gives me hope. very paradox. I hope I can come here one day and comment that everything turned out well and it wasn't bad at all in the end. even if I am never gonna know what mutual love means.

The idea behind "leaving someone breathless" is to suggest that you impressed them so much they forgot to breath. breathlessly.

Words cannot explain how beautiful this is.

Wang Kar Wai picks the best music for his movies..This is a gem

this song is not only beautiful, but perfectly encapsulates the themes of the film

How is it possible to listen to this lovely music and not fall in love .

I was listening to this song 2 years ago literally every day. I've lost it and couldn't find though I searched for many times... Today i was in a very bad mood and i found it accidentally by clicking songs... This song is a medicine for my soul

We need this kind of music, to heal our soul from actual psychopathic politiicians, corporations and banksters.

This song is like a blanket laying over the soul to keep it warm and calm.

The art , symbolic , almost distantly disturbing. The violin is teaching the depth of my emotions.

Gao Xingjian's paintings are awesome

This masterpiece makes my aching soul feel like there is a place to rest…

This music is so poignant - I feel the presence of everyone I ever loved; gratitude and longing mixed with sadness. It’s a blessing to hear it.

These paintings are incredible...just like the music..I'm not sure whether the music melts into the paintings or the paintings just float and melt into the music.. this is heavenly..thank you for sharing this..

Immense depth and substance...it may only be me but cannot fail to notice a certain Balkan/Eastern-Central European vibe.

It is sad and at the same time comforting and brings peace to ones mind, and a smile, hope and a view to a brighter future

Cette musique est un baume pour le coeur en souffrance de trop d incomprehension de ce monde insensible et égoïste. Merci a ce merveilleux violoniste .

this found me today, as i am trying to write a summary of an art piece i have been working on for the past weeks. my mind was racing and i stumbled over my words. listening to this and looking at the paintings has calmed me down now. i feel like i am able to focus more through this. additionally, reading all these comments from all over the world is a treat. so many different people, so many different languages, but still we were all here, listening to this song, leaving words behind for others to find. vielen dank dafür und herzliche grüße aus deutschland

Vale la pena vivir para descubrir personas que pueden crear las cosas más bellas del mundo. Para mi la vida simplemente no existe si no hay pasión y una de mis pasiones es la música. La vida sería solo oscuridad sin melodías como esta. Estoy encantada de haberle descubierto . Me hace revolotear el corazón.

Wong Kar Wai's In the mood for love. One of the best movies I've seen. This music contributes a lot to set the tone. Beautiful.

Hipnótica, cadenciada, delirante e contida : a alma na medida certa.

I heard you talking about love, so I remembered my love that will never have a beginning ♥️✨

This is the music of lost love, what could have been.

Tengo 68 años de edad, de la parte baja de este planeta llamado Tierra, Chile es mi país de residencia, hace muy pocos días encontré esta melodía del Sr. Shigeru Umebayashi, paz y un letargo placido a mi alma, así puedo definir lo que escuché.

Beautiful soothing music; let this bring us, human beings a little more together, kind regards, a 63 years old man from Holland

Today Good Friday 2023 and the church used this music during the way of the cross and I was mesmerized!

Si le sentiment amoureux (d'une belle histoire manquée) est une mélodie, ce serait assurément celle-ci...

Hatırlıyor musun? Serin bi akşamdı. Yürüyorduk, gözlerime bakıp seni seviyorum dedin. Bende dedim. Arkadan bu güzel parça çalıyordu, hiç bitmesin istemiştim. Rüzgarın esintisiyle sana bakarken sanki dünya etrafımda dönüyordu. Başım dönüyordu, seninle mayhoş bi gece, elimde bana lütfettiğin kırmızı bi gül. Sadecr sen ve ben. Ve ışığa doğru Yürüyorduk, karanlık bi sokakta. Öptüm seni, kokunu cektim içime. O gece aşkın en dokunaklı halini hissettim. Sarhoş gibiydim. Sana bakarken gözlerim yaşarıyordu, mutluluktan. Peki simdi? Ne mi oldu? Meğer o gece sadece ben hissedebilmişim. Sen yine oyununu oynamışsın. Aşkın gözü kör derler, ben o gece yine kördüm. Göremedim. Umarım benim hissettiğimi sende hissedersin Hadi.. Umarım seninle de güzel oynarlar.

Я из России ... эта музыка способна заставить плакать и сострадать любое сердце...даже если оно из камня...даже если ты враг всего человеческого... ...нет ничего дороже человеческой жизни дарованной нам судьбой ли,провидением,неведомой силой бытия,Богом...и значит она дороже нефти,газа, долларов ...и никто не вправе уничтожать и убивать чью либо жизнь ...

i am child from bangladesh i like this song very much

I always imagine the beautiful lady with her Chinese dress walking down the narrow road and smoking a cigarette while waiting for her secret lover

This is tremendous. Takes me back, to the cities, late nights, travel, where we all want to be. Lives full of surprise and spontaneity, beauty.

Sublime melancholy and nostalgia of what was and what could have been. Such an excellent soundtrack for an emotive movie. The paintings accompany the music superbly.

Душа, глаза,и всё во мне, в потоке слёз от боли захлебнулось. Я вижу,что не надо видеть мне. И слышу, поколения, убитые безумьем. Того,кто всё придумал, извратил. Лишь,чтобы стать вершителем ,героем! Он тварь, людей, детей убил. Но...остаёмся мы, живём. Пусть даже с примесью,но гениальное сословье..

Beautiful, painful and exquisite - transcending continents, idioms and cultures. A keeper!.

Inmenso, como la noche. Profundo, como la melancolía. Inolvidable, como la saudade.

I love the movie, this song remember me the beauty of her, her light step, her kindness, her ethereal beauty ,💓

Πόσα θέλουν να πουν μεταξύ τους δύο μάτια...τα λέει όλα αυτή η μουσική.....η μια ψυχή να καλεί την άλλη....γιατί μόνη της δεν μπορεί πια....

Whenever i listen to this song, i just imagine a pure childish love between two kids who play and dance together, grow up together loving each other and sharing moments together.. I imagine them in very simple and daily moments that make the difference though when you live them with someone you care and when you live them with laughter, dance and kisses.. The story ends with the death of the one of them and the loyalty of the other person through the difficult times, when they cannot dance together or go for walks together like the old times. Something like that is the reason for someone to be happy, i guess.

The feeling of unrequited love, lost love! All the words unsaid Buried feelings that hadn’t seen the light this is what I felt while listening to it

I love this piece. Its intense, heady, intoxicating, full of passion + desire + longing in those long notes. The plucking it the background (idk music terms) frames the melody like the corridors and rooms that frame movie. It creates a beat that puts me on edge. Full of anxiety, just like chan and chow question their love for each other.

😘...¡Hermoso! ...La música logra expresar lo que con palabras, ya no se puede expresar..... Las palabras enmudecen para que la música hable......¡Realmente Hermoso!....🥰💝....Para todos un gran abrazo de LUZ y AMOR e infinitas bendiciones desde Caracas Venezuela ...💝🙏🕉☮☮☮

My view is the hood as I lay in the slums listening to the most beautiful strings ever

If silent light tears had a voice this would be it !!

What a beautiful, beauytiful piece... thank you Pinelopi for its serenity

Kind of enigmatic and sensual message is hidden in this masterpiece... Nostalgic feeling

In the center of my hearth is deep love that the world hurt so many times. I'm afraid to open up again, I don't trust anyone. How can it be that we are born into such world with such delicate hearths.

Love is a strong force. You cannot defeat it. It’s a mysterious element, and a beautiful one. One cannot disparage love. Human beings cannot bridge one to another by force at any cost against their willings. We must let love to do the work. After all, love is eternal.

Hi from Tunisia, when i hear this unique music i Saw all thé détails of thé movie are still in my mémoire even if i close my eyes

music has no homelands and borders. Greetings from Greece!!!

I am from Czech republic. I love Shigeru Umebayashi. So beautiful music!!!

This is one of these moments when I start loving again. Loving life, loving nature, loving every living being. Something only music can do. A masterpiece of feelings. Thank you for sharing.

Qué pieza magistral!!! Simplemente maravillosa, de una elegancia y soberbia que traspasan el alma. La amo!!!!

Toľko rôznych emócií, toľko rôznych predstáv… A stačí iba jediná pieseň 🙏🏻

The pain of life , a moment of reflection. So many regrets living inside. So many fears eating at my soul. So many memories that play again in different ways with different outcomes. God i ask you for light and strength, heal me and let me be a child again with no fear and feel the joy that i know is still there.

This song has a magic that makes me feel like in another peaceful reality

What I like the most about this piece is how it can speak to both the individual and the collective at the same time. In my imagining, I picture in my minds eye all these individual stories of these different people, clips from their different stories, randomly, seemingly unconnected lives and then I see how they all may fit together in a larger story, unwittingly, into this abstract entirety that they themselves go unaware of. There is a lot of contradiction in this song. There is tension and there is flow. There is movement and there is a stifling pressing ticking of the time almost paralyzing from motion. It's a very interesting and thought provoking piece if music. Could be great background music for meditation, study or solving some problem or situation that demands concentration and repetition.

I don't know why, but there are some pieces of music that make me cry without feelings, So, I know the greatness of music from my eyes and this is one of them them

J'ai découvert cette merveilleuse composition dans le film W.E ! Depuis elle ne me quitte plus ! Merci

How a piece of music can touch your soul and make so many feelings come out strongly... a piece of magic!!!!

0:30, every time I hear that intro I just think/ feel, utter perfection! I've heard several takes on this piece of music but nothing does it like this one, it can't be bettered! Heaven, perfection....

Pensé que era la única persona de idioma español que escuchaba obras maestras como estas

Enjoying this music with tears...while we are 111 qurentena in Argentina Separated from my family and husband!

Toujours amoureuse de ce film et de sa musique .Des décennies que ça dure !

Perfecto momento para permanecer debajo de la lluvia, no riendo ni llorando simplemente queriendo pertenecer a su leve ritmo para saber porqué no estuve antes ahí.

Ufffffff.....escucho esta melodía y me manda al mismisimo carajo!!!...a cualquier lugar del Universo....y me deja dando vueltas como un satélite....impresionante!!!.... desnuda el alma...Me pregunto: ¿ como es posible hacer estas melodías?.....las pinturas...en austero blanco y negro y grises ...hablan solas. Esto es una delicia!!!
