"Rachel's song", composed by Vangelis for the Ridley Scott directed film Blade Runner.
The song features on the soundtrack album however was never used in the Film.
It could be imagined that the song was going to be used to score Rachel's growing doubts
about her identity. The track "Memories of Green," was instead used.
The vocals are sung by Mary Hopkin.
The Future Sound of London sampled the vocals for their 1996 single "My Kingdom".
I have edited a few scenes from the film to show what it might of sounded like if used in the film.
I hope you enjoy it!

She could have played Marion in Raiders of the Lost Ark, unfortunately for her (and for us!) she was in the group casting with Tom Sellekck, who was the favorite for the role of Indiana Jones but as we know he must quit due to the contract for the Magnum tv series. And while we all love Ford as Indi, how beautiful Marion would be if Sean Young played her ... Eh we can only dream about it... - And admire her in Blade Runner!

I have just returned home from the funeral of a very special young man, who died an untimely death. This music was played at the start of the service and I will never forget the impact it had on me. So soothing, yet so immensely sad. It touches the very core of one's heart.

This film is a masterpiece, and the music plays a big part. It's haunting but soothing at the same time.

@TitanFind 9 жыл бұрын

Yeah, there are some films where the music score is essential to the experience, and an integral part of why it works. Blade Runner for me is an experience that exists primarily in the juxtaposition between the dystopian neon future depicted and the warmth and beauty of Vangelis's score. Had the score emphasized rather than countered the harshness it would have been a radically different experience. The whole film feels suffused in a warm glow...ultimately it is a film about humanity, or what it is to be human, to be sentient, to love, fear and have feelings. To feel the fragility of life, and to revel in your time (as Tyrell would put it). Vangelis's score brings this home. Ultimately, and perhaps paradoxically as a synthesizer-based score, it's one of the warmest and most human musical scores ever created for a movie.

@SFforlife 9 жыл бұрын

TitanFind What a great comment, I agree completely. The dichotomy of the harsh, gritty, future city and the comforting, almost relaxing score really make the experience rather unique.

the film was by itself classic and have jump started a genre but the vangelis scores ? i think both the film and musical are of whole diff worlds and the two combine makes them eerie and fantastic all the same . .seeing the future and our past together . . .anyway back when no internet and etc . . . . i got my first copy of vangelis way back in early 90's .. . in cassete and CD . . i still have them and can't regularly play the casstete as these platforms arent around anymore. one day the cassete will become brittle and will be lost. in the story, rachelle was created to last . . though program not to be overly perfect, had flaws by memory and emotions but was built to last .. . .

Y'know, I know people say it's a sinister line, but I only thought that on my first watch. The more I think about it, Gaff wasn't issuing a threat or making a snide remark- he's actually encouraging Deckard to do it. Too bad she won't live for long given their short lifespans, but hey, who gives a shit, everyone dies, so you do you.

There aren't many things anymore for a Greek like me to be proud of.Apart our history and the physical beauty of our country,it's nice to see that there are still many great Greeks and Vaggelis is definitely among them.His music inspired the electronica as a genre.This is by far the best soundtrack ever made!I 've been working for some time a video about a d&b tune,which is influenced by this movie and i just realize that it looks a lot with your video.Maybe i won't finish it.

Sensual, w fantasy, w space ambience, futurist, the rainy city at night, neon lights...it is just SENSATIONAL. Hug! And the best: the Eye w Los Angeles 2019 and the sound of music and fire coming out the buildings, just Wow. In loved w this movie..🤩🤩

Continued: "Who am I, where do I come from? Where am I going? What does it all mean?" The fact that Ridley has not only the replicants, but in the end Rachel and Deckart "rebelling against man's fate" as it were-perfect.

"Too bad she won't live..." but the irony was that Rachel, being a replicant so perfect as to be the perfect woman, would live forever, as she did not have the "Time to die" chip. There is so much in this movie. The subtle replicant acting that shows a replicant realizing humanness, with a human who is murderer of her kind.
