This HAS to be played either at my funeral or my marriage. Whichever comes first.

This is Berk. It’s twelve days north of Hopeless and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death. It’s located solidly on the Meridian of Misery. My village. In a word? Sturdy. And it’s been here for seven generations, but every single building is new. We have fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunsets. The only problems are the pests. You see, most places have mice or mosquitoes, we have…dragons.

I’m not crying my eyes are just watering

Best theme ever. Hands down.

1:59 always gives me chills everytime i hear it

The entire time I thought the conductor was counting off beat until I realised there is literally two melodies going on at the same time. That is some massive counterpoint

This franchise was my childhood, i don’t want it to end

The whole part from 0:47 still gives me massive goosebumps

I came here so that if someone likes this comment I can listen to this song 🎵

If you haven't had a chance to see a full, professional orchestra yet, it's an astoundingly powerful experience in person that you should have at least once. The music feels alive in a way that no speaker on the planet can reproduce. You feel it from the bottoms of your feet to the very ends of your hair. There's a good reason these things were the original rock concerts.

2:08 just hits the sweet spot, i dont know why just does

Play this song when you're playing fetch with your dog at the park to make the moment more epic.

Every time I hear 2:08 I can’t help but smile from ear to ear, it brings back memories from when I was a 7 year old kid watching this in my living room and wishing I could ride toothless.

1:17 the smile on that guy at the back's face just makes you know this man is in love with HTTYD and it's music 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️

The two dislikes are Drago and Grimmel.

Can you imagine being in the room as this is playing and hearing it raw 😭😭😭 girl

Max volume and headphones = tears, goosebumps and big sincere smile. John Powell is absolutely amazing.

There will never be a more iconic and epic score in a Dreamworks animated film then this. No composer will ever create a better score for a Dreamworks film then this. This score is simply just one of the best of all time

This needs more views

Never have I heard such elation described in music as 2:08 just. the teary-eyed, breathless realisation of your own success, the victorious freedom, the weightlessness. It really does feel like I'm flying. And it's amazing how unanimous that feeling is while listening to that particular part. How did John Powell manage to capture that so powerfully? Nothing short of magic.

2:05 and on just gives me chills. It reminds me of how far I’ve come

My God the Crescendo of the Brass section at 2:10 can bring a 40 year old man to tears. Probably one of the greatest sections of music I’ve ever heard. Chills

The lows at 0:46 give me chills every single time

Honestly one of my favourite pieces of music ever written

I haven’t seen HTTYD in years, but this song reacts to me. A bit of backstory, I’ve lost many years of my life due to depression from past events. Now, after nearly 9-10 years I’ve found my happiness again for life, and this song sums up everything I have had to face, I have approached, and is approaching me this year, the journey of something new but familiar and the hardship I may struggle through. But believing in myself, the love and support from my friends and family, nothing can stop me, nothing will stop me.

Imagine all these people have children or grandchildren that grew up with HTTYD and they tell them that they have a whole symphony playing the music that they grew on

Orchestras and bands are sooo under-appreciated and almost always go unrecognized, yet they perform the most incredible, moving pieces such as this. (Of course, major props to the composers - unbelievable talent!)

Every single time I listen to this I hear something new. Today it was the very deep horn(tuba?) that goes down three(?) notes at around 2:11 after the other horns hold their note. Gave me chills when I heard it. three months later edit: listening to this again, I realize that the horn does those same three notes frequently throughout the piece. Yet again I am in awe of all of the tiny, seemingly insignificant parts that make up this incredible music.

0:47 & 2:09 they just hit me every single time, still my all time favourite movie and tbh, i don’t think it will ever change ❤️

I'm literally crying right now. I don't know why, but this music feels like the gates of heaven are opening up for me. I can see so much light and beauty. I can see in my mind. 's eye how the instruments blend together in this beautiful river of harmony like I could physically feel the music, and I love that.

these new generations don't know what treasures they are missing out on

If, in my life, I attend one singular orchestra performance, let it be one that includes this song. I'm 99% sure no composer can make a better score than John Powell did with this.

Who the f**k are the 9 people... no... THINGS... that disliked this???? They're just angry all the dragons are gone and now they can't have a test flight.

I feel like as the orchestra, you have to feel some level of awe from the composer's arrangement when you're playing with everybody else

If one day I see this live, IDC how expensive it will be. I WANT TO HEAR MY CHILDHOOD SONG AND MEMORIES COMING BACK ALL OVER AGAIN

I'm in my 40s so this movie wasn't part of my childhood, but discovering this score through other means & now seeing/ hearing it performed (1st time) by live orchestra makes me lament I'd missed it... because, I was a well-trained French Horn player & my high school had an excellent music program & a ton of talent. Our band director chose some fantastic & sometimes epic pieces for us to perform - one being the theme from "Mr Holland's Opus" & hearing that still brings me chills, the other being the Theme from Robin Hood (the Kevin Costner version), both featuring amazing sections for the Horn. So, I smile wistfully, thinking how fun it would have been to perform this, but also imagining somewhere out there are some lucky talented kids who have probably have.

The 6 dislikes are from: Krogan, Johann, Mildew, Ryker, Alvin and Savage

This song is to die for!!!!!

2:08 gives me chills

It's songs like these that remind you of how beautiful music can be.

Imagine being one of the musician to play this masterpiece. Must've been fun and a great honor

The key change from D to E is amazing, I really wish I understood how it works though :/

The joy and the tears this score brings me is unreal

Sometimes I hear this song 30 min straight and it doesn't get boring and the refrain gives me goosebumps everytime

I didn't know music could have this much power over me

This music instantly transports me to my childhood self watching this scene for the first time, and I've never been able to recreate that happiness and exhilaration otherwise. It's so amazing how when we're in times that are hard on our mental state, we return to the things we associate with our younger, more innocent, more happy, and unburdened selves. On the verge of tears listening to this, truly

The darkness I feel inside. There’s still light.

I never thought about what people meant when they’d talked about getting chills as they listened to something until I saw this video

I'm playing this in my schools symphony orchestra! So excited!

Best. Theme. Ever. I get chills the whole song. It's so amazing.

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard, actually made me shed a tear reminding me of my childhood

IDK if it's just the nostalgia of a 2000's kid, but whenever i hear this i fall to tears

One of the best themes... It's the kind of theme that makes you think you're a character in the movie.

0:06 one of the best parts of this masterpiece

if this isn't played at my funeral then I refuse to die.

"Kids movies can't have good orchestral soundtracks" John Powell: Hold my toothless plushie

John Powell also write great music for "Don't Worry Darling".

Only sad thing is they don't show off the drumers...

1:59 just magic😍

0:46 best part hands down

After i saw this live performance last night and scrolled down the comment section i had to share this melody that i found and it resembles the movie’s soundtrack And sort of symbolizes toothless and hiccup’s friendship Friendship is magic - marcus warner

Every fucking time I don't know why but I get goosebumps all over my body while listening to this, especially 1:59, very powerful piece.

I feel like because we see all the musicians it just makes it more powerful

2:05 gives me goosebumps

3 yrs later, and it still slaps

it's January 1st 2024, and this is my first musical piece of the year, gotta start on good foot

Imagine that you watch this animation again with your grandkids. I swear I'll remember this memorable youth forever.

0:47

Goosebumbs... the whole video... Hiccup & Toothless where my Childhood

This masterpiece perfectly encaptures the new experience of flying and the freedom and fear that comes with it.

Now imagine it with toothless legendary growling as they embraced in their flight. If there´d be dragons, this´d be the music that´d play every single time one was ridden.

Oh the memories... Oh the child hood... I see it all when I listen to this theme... Easily one of the best themes to ever exist and they may have split paths but that does not mean we will forget them and anyone who disagrees with this didn't have a happy childhood

Genuinely one of the most beautiful themes when matched with the cinematography, perfection

This is the best music I've ever listened to IN MY LIFE..

Whenever I listen to this or watch it, it always give me the chills and goosebumps ❤❤

whenever i hear this theme, it gives me so much chills. this movie was my childhood.

My heart literally stopped a few times, I CAN'T BREATHE- *out of breath, but still trying * THIS IS AWESOME-

"This is Berk"

Makes my spirit soar!

Had no business slapping this hard

I’M CRYING- THIS MASTERPIECE WILL ALWAYS BE ICONIC

BEST SOUND TRACK ANY DREAMWORKS MOVIE EVER MADE

I'm glad I'm alive to have experienced this

0:13 i love this was played ❤

How to Train Your Dragon will remain in our hearts and we will never forget this wonderful childhood..❤️ Thanks to those who played this composition on their wonderful instruments, let them live happy and proud .. thank you ..😢❤️

bro casually released the best song in the history of the world for a dragons and vikings movie

Me in 10 years: Child... let me tell you an amazing story

That crescendo at 2:11 is flawless!

0:54 is THE MOMENT BROSKIS

our childhood was so good and we don't even realize it 🥺🥹

This will always gives me the feeling like I'm flying. Like I have touch the clouds and up and away. I wish I have my own dragon. I wouldn't mind not talking to people.

One of the best soundtrack songs ever.

this is the most underrated track ever.

To me, this short musical piece is like a journey through life. Starting from the innocence of childhood 0:30 The celebration of youth 1:12 The struggles of life in the middle. 1:28 And the freedom, acceptance and wisdom towards the end. 2:02 Just brilliant!

i miss this series

It's beautiful it make's me feel so heartwarming I feel like im actually there. The emotions, the ambience It's so beautiful

Ich komme beim Hören immer zu Tränen das ist das schönste meiner Kindheit

This might be one the greatest pieces of music ever written

😢😢Just a memory of a saga that will never return...

I listened the album today and I loved it really much! Thank you guys ❤️
