Rest in peace Micheal Gambon one of the most inspirational speeches I’ve ever heard. Thank you for all the movies that you starred in over many years.

The movie is a diamond, the soundtrack makes it a polished diamond

Layer cake, this song, and Michael Gambon mean more to people than many think. It’s a cult classic. RIP Eddie Temple. You were a legend.

This is the original version; it was produced for the film 'Layer Cake', which you should watch if you're unfamiliar with it, because it's quite simply excellent.

Simply outstanding film and simply outstanding piece of music. Layer Cake is one of the best British films ever made and it's hard to think of a more emotive piece of music. Absolute brilliance.

"You're born, you take shit. Get out in the world, you take more shit. Climb a little higher, take less shit. Until one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere, and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the Layer Cake son." For those having trouble hearing.

Sounds as haunting and as beautiful now as it did back then. Stunning sound.

This song and film are epic…massively underrated

Paul the Boatman. Kinky. The Duke. Slasher. Kilburn Jerry, Crazy Larry. Mr Lucky. Troop. Jimmy. I don't want to add my name to that list. My name? If you knew that, you'd be as clever as me.

I could listen to this forever!!Want this played at my funeral!

One of the best pieces of music ever...

I've heard some music in my time but nothing as powerful & moving as this .. lisa Gerrard's voice blow's me away .

This still sends chills down my spine. I wish I could get the chance to see Lisa Gerrard live sometime

Epic film, and the soundtrack absolutely transcends generations.

This song introduced me to Lisa Gerrard and this type of music. Thank you, it's beautiful!!

turn the lights off and i can listen to this for ages, so haunting and beautiful at the same time , well done lisa gerrard

Sometimes when I'm having one of those crap days at the job....I just listen to this on my ear phones. Her voice takes me to another place. Thanks you for the video.

I have the layer cake speech as a ring tone. we were in psychology class discussing the different divisions of society and my phone rang. Basically this is the best explanation of life.

The most hauntingly beautiful track I've ever heard. I've never heard a voice as majestic and flawless.

Some of the most beautiful, ethereal music ever made!!! Ahhh.... it takes you to another time and place.....

Rip Micheal Gambon you made layer cake the film it is today as eddie temple what a character he was. Got to be one of the best films I’ve ever watched love d, Craig and Colin summat or other one in Alan partridge alpha papa pat I believe was callled anyway rip to a true legend 😢

Amazingly haunting and uplifting with a subtle sadness.

Absolutely brilliant 👏

Rest in peace Michael Gambon. I type this with teary eyes. This piece of music is hauntingly beautiful.

If only Dumbledore had said this to harry potter

This is beautiful...

It's actually from the movie "Layer Cake" w/ Daniel Craig - he's explaining "the facts of life": that society is like a layer cake... and the higher you climb in society, the less shit you have to take.

Her music helps me to express pain and sadness and take it out. I started to listen to her resulting " NOW WE ARE FREE" which is amazing song.

Welcome to the Layer Cake, son.

Her voice is the only voice that sends a chill down my spine and makes my hair on the back of my neck stand up. I also love the intro. It's so true on how life works.

3:00 omg chills

Best ending of one of the best movies.So dramatic,ironic and beautiful..and the music.no comment.

Love the speech , life

Musically...........and.........Visually....... Stunning.......

I've loved Lisa Gerrard's music since way back when she was in the band 'Dead Can Dance' in the 80's-90's. Breathtaking music with that band and her beautiful voice. If you've never heard of Dead Can Dance, you might like to check them out.

Outstanding music, outstanding film, perfectly cast.All Lisa's work makes you contemplate life.

3:03 is what I imagine the sunset sounds like

Diana: Last Days of the Princess (in Russia known as «Принцесса Диана: Последний день в Париже» or «Диана: Последние дни принцессы»)

She has such a beautiful voice!

Totally agree; 'voice of the earth' - couldn't have put it any better, that describes her sound so well. beautiful

Lisa Gerrard sounds like a angel and she holds her notes very well

Fantastic sound lisa is great plus the wise words completely top it off for me top marks

"Just like the good ole days eh? Nothing like a bit of armed robbery." 😂😂😂

Rip you will never be forgotten

Loved Layer cake, Lisa Gerrards voice is just haunting. In a good way.

One day if ever become a millionaire this is the first song am going play

❤ SKIN-DEEP EMOTION ❤ ❤ INSANELY BEAUTIFUL ❤

this music makes me know inside what eternity must be...its so haunting!!

Lisa is absolutely awesome she has done a lot of work on film soundtracks. One of the most beautiful voices ever. One of my goals is to see her in concert sometime :)

One of the most impactful quotes of my life from a film. Screw Harry Potter. This is it. RIP Sir Michael Gambon.

An absolute masterpiece 👌

Love this song. For me, it's one of those rare songs you get caught up in and sort of feel sad knowing it has to end. "Host of Seraphim" by Lisa Gerrard is another that's just as powerful.

Beautiful 😢

i remember when i wrote this peice of music for the film i never thought it would turn out this well :)

she is my muse !! I long to see her and hear her live.. she sounds like an angel on fire sometimes! :)

Lisa Gerrard has a voice that simple pierce into your heart... you just just cannot withstand that voice that stirs your innermost self...

Lisa is a phenomena ... !!

I have at least 21 songs on my funeral list. I wouldn't get angry if they played this part too.

beautiful music and so brilliantly placed in layer cake

she has a way of making me remember what being human is... or should be..

Music and vocals that feed the soul

Spot on. Great film (IMHO one of the best British crime films ever - hugely underrated) - and this music is such a brilliant contrast with the deep violence and corruption in the movie.

This movie is so awesome. The music score, the editing and camera angles, magnificent actors and a breathtaking story. Thanks for the upload, nemtizz!

I've been listening this aria for several times, just can't get enough...

absolut, coś co trudno ująć słowami, piękno doskonałe...Uwielbiam Lise

When you hear this voice, you feel and know that there is a spark of divinity in humankind. It is as if the Father is singing right through her. Amazing

Absolutely breathtaking piece of music. Lisa Gerrard is a true genius with an enchanting and deeply haunting voice. Her music is sad, inspiring and very spiritual. Repect.

this has to be the most majestic song ever , amazing singer , luv it

Her voice.... it haunts me, man. Ethereal. Timeless. I will ALWAYS love the sound of those 'dulcet tones'.

Good Song to play when you have a good buzz just chilling at the crib.

voice of an angel 👼

Don;t know if this has already been answered but I have the CD and his voice-over is still in it. Still, I think it lends itself to the song - it sets the tone on a somber note, a sort of acknowledgment of the sheer futility of unbridled ambition.

The best thing to hear to keep yourself calm when you are stuck in traffic. I need to buy a car.

I'm so watching this movie again this weekend :-).

Phenomenal, beautiful music also pictures...

Nice pictures! Lisa Gerrard has an amazing voice! She sounds like an angel... Thanks for posting this video!!!

First time I noticed Lisa Gerrard's voice was in Gladiator. I have heard her before, but I was never able to find out who the artist was, but when Now We Are Free came out. It opened a door to music I never new existed. I am a fan for life.

Voice of an angel :D

i love the film layer cake and esp this song its so chilling

Michael Gambon's speech at the start add's to the run up of this song and the swearing is said in the right context, both are just as hunting and as powerful on there own, together they are outstanding.

Lisa Gerrard the greatest voice ever.....

This song never gets old for me.

This is amazing music. Just amazing. So atmospheric

Marvelous pictures, so beautiful and I love Lisa gerrard Good very good, thank you

beautiful pictures, and an absolutely gorgeous voice. Lisa is awesome. Thanks for sharing :)

Diese Stimme, - die Art zu singen.. Einfach unbeschreiblich ❤

makes me just want to go hard in the weight room and on the field, love this kind of music not even rap or rock can make feel like i want to go pass my limitations

Great movie, even better music and voice

Song always sends the odd chill up my spine. The quote at the start is also very true.

Utterly utterly Brilliant. Her vocals are like nothing ive heard, beautiful, powerful and so thought/mood provoking, simply superb :-)

Such a beautiful piece of music!!! sends chills down my spine all evertime i listen to it thanks for the post man!

KZfaq made me discover Lisa Gerrard. I went to her concert in Antwerp on november 13 and was perplexed. She enslaved me : can't stop listening to that haunting voice. Nice video also!

Excellent song, and the part @ 3:04...that just hits me everytime.

Je l'écoute en boucles, je la regarde sans fin, un pur moment de bonheur !

Glad I discovered this You Tube posting. I have greatly enjoyed listening to it.

One of my funeral songs x

I love this piece, soothingly delicious!!

This piece is so phenomenally evocative. Every time I hear it I'm nearly in tears. Unbelievably this isn't on any Lisa Gerrard album (correct me if I'm wrong) so I had to buy the soundtrack to the Layer Cake film to get a hard copy of it.

Je n'ai jamais entendu une voix aussi profonde et merveilleuse .

This song, to me, relates to the feeling men has when seeing how overwhelmingly beautifull nature is, and knows that they can never return to it
