Maybe, just maybe we are ALL having the experience Picard had and we'll wake up in about 20 minutes or so.

I saw this episode in 1992 when it was released. I was a boy of 14 and it moved me deeply. I was overwhelmed with sadness when it came out. I didn't know why then. But I know why now. 30 years later, my wife laid to rest, the songs of our life are only a thing of memory. Our children a product of love and affection. And even if I explain the depth of our love and meaning of our overcoming struggle... no one will ever hear more than a song sung on a flute of a memory past. A life taken for granted. A a love so true, if I explained it to you, you wouldn't've believe me.

This music piece is never too old, never too late.....it brings an inner peace when I listen to the flutist and the orchestral pieces bring a harmonious rendition of soul and well-being....may the inner light bring peace upon you and yours!

Does the Conductor wear a Star Trek Uniform?

Batai....we could all use a friend like him.

Großartig, macht richtig Spaß 🙂

Still tugs at the heart after all these years and I still don't why.

I am always amazed at the fact that this one stand alone episode from a tv show can move so many people so deeply. My eyes well up every time I hear that hauntingly beautiful melody.

This is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing it.

I am here for that incredible flute solo. Rendered so beautifully.

OMG THE CONDUCTOR IS IN UNIFORM!!!

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

That episode was the purest storytelling.

I know it’s fictional, but every time someone plays this song, they bring life to a dead race for the briefest of moments. That’s an idea that just gives me an emotion I can’t really explain.

Bravo

Beautiful ....

I am crying everytime i see that episode and hear this beautiful music.

This is for my daughter who is not with ua now

The Inner Light and every subsequent moment we saw Picard play that flute gave me an existential crisis.

Awesome

From one of the best episodes of Star trek the next generation beautiful

II'm here because i thought they were going to do the Beatles Inner Light. duh

All that's left of a alien race that knew they going to die. The thing is some of them could be saved using the Guardian of Forever..

BRAVO!!!!

A masterpiece, to this day and beyond. I hope this never gets taken down.

Who watches the watchers "i dont fear you any longer" is my favorite moment of dialouge This my favorite music to just ecapsule star trek for me 😮

😢

I get the “goosies” every time I hear this amazingly beautiful piece of music…pure heaven!

I wanted this in the Picard show. Imagine, if you will You see stars, you hear the opening bars to the TMP/TNG into start up, you see the Enterprise D come into shot just like in TNG... and then the... E? Wait what? And before the DUN DUH DA DUN kicks in, the camera pans out and THIS music begins. Its not the ship, its a diorama on Picard's wall in France. Opening credits start up as we go through his living room and/or study and we see a few easter eggs in addition to hints as to what he's been up to all these years. And it ends with coming to him overlooking the vinyard, flute in hand as the last notes fade away... Alas, not quite the show we got. But using this would have really cemented that this was HIS journey.

I think I prefer the original arrangement on tin whistle.

Is it my imagination, or is the conductor wearing a Star Trek uniform?

Was spielt die für ne Flöte??? Die klingt genauso wie die Ressikianische.....

I have the DVDsets but just love this tune .

Wow - that soloist, really caught the emotion of the piece - well done to her and the conductor.

When i first heard this, it made me sad. I shared my thoughts with my father, and he disagreed. He thought it was full of beauty and hope. I hear it now and I miss him.

Thank you for this! It was SOOOO perfect! The delicate playing of that woman of the flute is exquisite! Live long and prosper. 🖖❤

4:39 most beautiful moment 🖖❤️🖖

My favorite Star Trek episode ever. This music gives me goosebumps, and makes me tear up...magical. <3

ピカードが息を引き取る時、死んだみんなが出てくるシーンは号泣だったな。

I'm a huge Star Trek fan and in my youth, there were two episodes of television shows that rocked me to my core. One was "City on the Edge of Forever" and "The Inner Light". I know those seem like cliché answers but when I think that I tend to often think there is a reason why that is so cliché, and it's because those are both fantastic stories. After re-watching "The Inner Light" I came here with a tear still in my eye, and I'm thankful I did.

Love the fact that the conductor is wearing a TNG uniform... very appropriate! Love this orchestral version as well, I have it on my Star Trek 20th Anniversary album....

Sensacional

I know absolutely nobody who understands me to like this melody and seeing orchestras such as these gives me hope. 🖖❤️🖖

That's wrong. You're playing the WRONG. NOTES.

Over so many of thousands of years we were unknown. Then suddenly we are born. And we will be forgotten in a blink of an eye for the rest of eternity. We are a splitsecond in time, feeling as the universe is ours. But we are mere guests, too shortlived to understand anything but what is in front of our eyes.

Re-watching TNG and oh man talk about tear jerking, appreciating it so much more especially the inner light episode! 🔥💯 they don’t make Stories like that anymore! Also Picard Season 3 is AMAZING!

Magnífica melodia. Inspiradora, relaxante. Uma conexão com o universo, com o meu eu anterior.❤❤❤❤❤

Oh my god, this is the best version of inner light I’ve ever heard!
