It seems like movies nowadays can never repeat the feelings that movies like Casper, Jumanji or Hook gave us. Take the Jumanji sequels for example, they have adventure, action, great effects but they seem to lack a real heart to them. It's strange how all these movies from my childhood always left me feeling a wide range of mixed emotions, happiness, sadness and most of all sensibility.
The music from Hook and Casper hits every time.
Its because Hollywood forgot about plot and character development in favor of CGI and fast paced action. There are a few movies that follow the tradition of actually having a good story arch. Most unfortunately, forget that a good score and story are the essentials of a good movie with relatable characters. It makes me sad that the era of cinema has crashed, as far as I'm concerned.
Those 3 movies.... All my childhood... And yeah there's no movie like those today.
It should be of note that For Casper and Hook at least, Stephen spielberg was behind the scene, even today i can identify a spielberg film without seeing his name just because of the style and or feeling the story takes.
Yasssss
this song is like getting a hug on your worst day from your childhood memories.
That is literally so relatable.....thanks for this comment.
Smiles.... A long awaited hug.
@John Doe oh... And you can eat my dust.
You mean your childhood memories are hugging you on your worst day? Or you are being hugged by the worst day from your childhood memories?
thanks im actuallly weeping off this fr haha :)
As someone whose always struggled SEVERELY with making friends or finding relationships this song and movie has always hit harder than any other childhood movie
This song just fits so perfectly that deep loneliness and simultaneous longing for closeness with someone
This is the exact reason why I was to become a film composer one day. To make all who struggled with any problems feel loved and wanted through my music
@Miles Doyle I mean yeah I agree with all those things but what does that have to do with my comment. Lmao my guy posted an entire ass book
When I was five I dreamed of this song as I kept going up in a never ending attic
@Miles Doyle while your praying to whomever your praying to please ask for some divine intervention to stop the war going on ..i say that respecfully
alone… forever.
Who else cries as soon as the piano melody starts playing?
Empathic people get it. It's devastating.
😢
Me lol. Every time lol
I cry every time it makes me think of my mom she passed away last year and I miss her so much and I cry for her and I feel insecure and I feel lost scared and confused . I miss my mom she’s my gaurdian angel
@@jimmysullivan4981so sorry. She’s an angel watching over you.
Anyone get that weird seizing feeling in your throat from the nostalgia?
It's a hard feeling to describe... Like feeling really desperate to go back in time, slightly sad because you know you can't, and slightly panicky, all at the same time.
I get the feeling too being born in the 90's myself.
I get that feeling every now and again. Something will remind me of a really happy time in my life and it will makes me sad knowing that I can never go back and experience it ever again
Danielle Parker But of course there will be other happy times ahead in life.
It makes me happy to know I'm not the only one who feels nostalgia so intensely.
I'm only 26, but sometimes I get the feeling so strongly it's crippling.
I also get Goosebumps, and feel like I'm about to tear up too sometimes.
Dan Coulson I'm 23
One of the saddest movies I've watched in my childhood... He is dead... he is a ghost... He becomes a boy for one night only... he loves the girl... he turns to a ghost again, forever... man, that's so sad and hopeless...
Ever seen AI?
@@beavispdx yes. Also very sad.
She will join him one day, so eventually, they will be together.
Yeah, but he can fly and do all sorts of weird stuff with his body.
Kat won't join him if she dies without unfinished business, which is kind of the point. She'll cross over and be in Heaven with her parents, and any other loved ones who went before her without unfinished business.
I do like to hope, though, that Casper crossed over too and rejoined his own family. Perhaps after Kat left the manor to go out into the world and build her adult life, or after she married and had children of her own, or even when she grew into an elderly lady and Casper knew she wouldn't be around for much longer.
Casper's unfinished business was his father, and Kat helped him to remember that and process it. I think that after that, he could've crossed over whenever he chose to.
The 90s had more colour and energy. Less anger
I was born in 93. But i wish more than ever to go back
Simpler times. As easy as that.
I was born in 1992 and I wish we could back to those better days
Weve just got to carry on, even if we have no idea wtf we are doing or not feeling "at home" in this time.
Like somebody once said, "It was the economy, stupid!".
This may be the most beautiful piece of music in the world and no one even has a clue.
2 million views on this video alone. Yeah, people sure are clueless.
@@jesusnthedaisychainGangam style has 3.5 Billion views in comparison. People are clueless.
This one and John Williams - You Are the Pan invoke the same nostalgia and emotions from growing up.
100%
Also Edward Scissorhands score...
He stayed behind so his dad wouldn't be lonely, that so heartbreaking.
This song hurts inside. Especially during the movie scenes.
I feel sad
@@TheSurviver2
Don't be though
Can I keep you! That part always get to me 😥
I got sick. Dad got sad.
It really does, this piece captures the ache of losing a child like no other composition. The first phrase is fear, the second is optimism, followed by devastation, then acceptance and longing. The phases you go through as your child leaves you behind, but knowing there's a reunion someday.
Hauntingly beautiful, what a talent James Horner was.
Literally from Avatar, Braveheart to also Titanic all beautiful masterpieces...
am I the only one that gets teary eyed when I hear the haunting piano lullaby. It's cathartic and the nostalgia is overwhelming. It's this strong joy and sadness washing over me when I hear it. My childhood. It's like the movie hook, Robin Williams as an adult, who lost his magic and view of the world as a tired, adult. But reverts into that child with the magic for a brief moment but it's temporary. It's like seeing a spirit of your younger self as a child showing up speaking too, you telling you everything will be alright and all these childhood memories wash over you and joy but then the child spirit of you has to leave and disappears and you're like "no where are you going, don't leave" and then the deep sadness with the great joy that came. Such a great time in my life during the 90s and casper and such movies
literally hook soundtrack and this take me back
I felt that comment from my heart. Thank you, you are not alone, dear human. Much love from Germany xx
NO, no you're not the only one, lol ... this piano tune from *Casper*, that ICONIC John Williams flute theme from *E.T.* as well as that one from *Hook* during the Peter/Pockets scene, JW's main piano theme from *Jurassic Park* - and even that Dave Grusin end credits theme from *The Goonies* have ALWAYS had a special place in my heart ever since my childhood! ❤🥲 IDK, it must be that magical Spielberg-connection from all of these classic films! 😌 (He was the XP of this film, along with The Goonies via his Amblin Entertainment production company) I think the only themes NOT related with Spielberg that can instantly get me choked up with all the feels are Jerry Goldsmith's BEAUTIFUL theme from the OG *Soarin' Over California* ride @ DCA, and the John Coffey execution theme from *The Green Mile* by Thomas Newman...😭😭
Vc conseguiu traduzir o que também sinto 😢
yup nostalgic
Kat: What's it like to die?
Casper: Like... being born, only backwards. I remember, I didn't go where I was supposed to go. I just stayed behind, so my dad wouldn't be lonely.
:(!
MaleficusMonoceros89 😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭
Good but sad line
:(
Deep
I never thought as I got older I would miss the 90s as much as I miss it now. It hurts to grow up and to know how laid back and carefree it was back in those times it's even more difficult looking back...
I have felt that way for a long time since I finished high school
Yo también los extraño mucho. Los primeros años de la vida, sentirse en la protección de la madre. Los hermanos, la familia. La inocencia.
😢❤
This movie is the audiovisual definition of “melancholy” 🥺💙
It's 2022 and this still makes me tingle I'm 37, beautiful music!!
Born 1985
I’m 36 & this music still makes my heart heavy and causes me to sigh deeply.
my moms 37 too :)
I'm 39 and still hits me too
Most underrated score of all time
This one and the theme to Secret Garden (1993) by Zebigniew Preisner.
Brian Volke true
Excuse me, may I know what do you mean about score? All I know score is about number, sorry I'm not a native speaker
Fredrik Ariel Ornata where are you from ?
I'm asian.. What did he mean about score?
James Horner, you contributed a masterpiece to a masterpiece my friend. RIP
He was a master at what he did! I miss his contributions.
Such a talented man...💫💫🎶🎵
He will be missed 💔
Our Mistro in the sky 😂👍🎗✝️♥️🎵
He was amazing. This score was no exception
After finding this gem i had to google James Horner and his discography...i didnt know this man basically shaped my childhood in the best way possible! R.i.P.
I lost my son, And I always cry when I hear this song. But it reminds me of him so much. so full of love, life. he could brighten a room just be entering it. And his hugs could make the worst pain lessen.
I have a 4 year old dauther. I couldn't imagine a life without her! You are stronger than you realize! My condolences..
🙏🙏🙏
@@kal-elofkrypton8584 I lost my parents in 9-11 I love them very much
I'm so sorry for that pain you endure, for me, it was my little girl, it never heals does it? It's been decades but it feels so fresh and raw.
Heaven isn't that far away.......... Someday.
Can't help but cry when you hear this music and think,"Can I keep you?"
That line should be inducted into the AFI's greatest movie quote's list!
Also just the way he whispers it to her is incredibly sweet!
me and my girlfriend sitting watching this and I asked her the same thing, she thought it was so cheesy...then Casper said it in the movie and she thought it was the sweetest thing ever...WTF!? lol xD
+Thomas Baron The same thing would definitely happen to me too xD It must be Caspers innocence or something that makes it work for him lol
Laughing Coyote lol yeah, how pathetic is that? girls swoon over a cartoon ghost when he says it and a real guy can't get a break lol
CASPER FACTS: Casper's mother (Mary Anne Mcfadden) passed away giving birth to him, he grows up to 12 years old with his father and asks for a sled in December in 1895. His father buys the sled and Casper plays with it until night time, and he gets VERY sick, he then passes away from pneumonia before Christmas, and doesn't move on because he doesn't want to leave his dad. His father (J.T Mcfadden) then becomes obsessed as an inventor trying to create resurrection to bring his son back to life and comes up with the Lazerous. He lives in a manor at the head of the friendship town and people can hear and see things at night at his house that are weird; flashing lights, hoots and hollers, whirring and buzzing. He is arrested one night when he is so close to testing his invention to bring Casper back. He is then committed to an insane asylum where he is forced to live the rest of his days getting treated for an illness he doesnt have and being told Casper is not a ghost and that he is crazy over the death over his son. Casper then begins to lose his memories and only wants a friend and he rest is in the 1995 release of Casper. It is suck a beautiful movie.
I think when Casper's father was taken into custody, the manor went up for auction, and Carrigan's relatives might have purchased it at a discounted price, but no-one could live in it due to it being haunted, just like she was trying to get in to get the treasure. Her family might have tried to sell it, but no-one wanted to buy it, so that's why all their belongings are still inside.
***** It's a theory I came up with, because our family use to buy houses at auction (before the housing crash) and it would be sold "As Is", meaning all their stuff would be inside, because not many relatives wanted to deal with sorting through their stuff. They might take an item or two that they wanted, but that would be it. You'd be surprised at some of the stuff that was found.
Keeper Of Clocks and Time
The reveal on what happened to Casper was so well done, they brought together visual clues and thoughtful monologue perfectly. It made this way deeper than just a kids' movie. I've heard some people say that this movie is cheesy, with the jokes and stuff...I don't think it's necessarily cheesy, it's just dated. I've also heard complaints that the plot is disjointed, but I think it works - watching it now 20 years after I first watched it, it seems like it goes by a lot faster, but the pacing is consistent. It has more of a slice-of-life feel in some places than just a perfectly streamlined narrative, which is fine. It makes you ask a lot of questions and care about the characters very quickly. I'm sitting here thinking like, what's going to happen as Kat gets older, will she wait for him? Will this happen every Halloween? Every time he does a good deed? Or will he have to look on as she gets boyfriends or married, and grows apart from him? Almost as soon as they meet, he's faced with her being interested in "real" boys. There could be a lot of tension there especially since he was raised in an earlier time period, with different standards for courtship ages and methods. And it seems like she only has romantic interest in him when he's corporeal at the dance. What happened later that night, after the dad went to bed? How awkward would that be, like, "Well, we just kissed, but now I'm a ghost again..." He loves her, but what if she was just using him for the dance? GAH, this has so many layers, too deep for a kids' movie!! *collapses*
Keeper Of Clocks and Time 😞😞😞😞
2023 and its still as mesmerizing & beautiful as it was back then. Feels 😭
100%
1:07 Id recognize that Piano melody within a nanosecond! This was one of my favorite film scores and still is! So beautiful!
my favourite part of the music . When it plays in the movies, the scenes are always deep and meaningfull
This movie was pure magic. I was a child when it was released, and I'm a full grown teacher today. Last year we had a 90 minute period to do anything fun with our students for Halloween. I had to introduce this new generation to Casper the friendly ghost!
Awesome that you never forgot about how beautiful this film and soundtrack is 💖
Kindred spirit! I teach third
I was just thinking about this movie a couple of days ago as I was going through some comments down here.
In the end of the movie, everyone was able to get their unfinished business done. Doctor Harvey was able to understand where his wife was and what she became.
Kat learned how to make friends and got the whole school’s attention with the Halloween party.
Casper was able to be human just for one night and I believe that he eventually understood that he needed to crossover and I truly believe that Dr. Harvey helped him with that process.
I guess that was hard for him crossing over since he would miss Kat but at the same time I have the feeling that Casper promised her that they would be friends for all eternity.
Kat in the other hand understood that Casper was suffering for many years being a ghost and accepted the fact the he needed to leave and cross over. I am not quite sure about Casper’s uncles since they always were disturbed ghosts but I believe that most of them were able to find their final destination and find themselves.
It’s really sad but it’s the only theory that makes sense to me.
❤
When I was 6 I got a black cat and I named him Casper after my favorite movie. Oh how I miss him. 2003-2017❤️
dont cut onions..😭 R.I.P Casper..
Add my snapchat Jimmy-edwards17
Sorry about your cat Casper Nina ♥️
@@bobby42549 thank you ❤️
This is beautiful, but boy did it just sadden me. I know this is weird to say and I know you shouldn't dwell in the past...but I miss my childhood.
Goosebumps and feels. Not weird at all. This song is like a hug from a long-lost friend.
Don't feel weird, I miss my childhood too.
I play this every time I need it the most, especially after pre-convention blues
Don't worry. I feel the same. I just started my master and miss my childhood a lot..
Sassi Frazz animewerewolf It's good to know I'm not the only one who feels this way.
I'm only 17 and I still think back to when I was younger and there were actually good movies and shows.
This is nuts. I saw this movie as a child of less than 5. And I haven't watched the film since then. This song has been in my head since then. Mind you I only heard it when I saw it back then. Now over 30 and I finally decided to search this song again. I'm surprised how this song was implanted in my head for over 25 years.
Beautifully, and quite suitably, haunting. It just hurts the heart, doesn't it?
brassybats, I don't know if you still visit CZcams, and I realise I'm responding to a comment that is 3 years old, but your words are very true. This music conveys sad emotions, and yet it is absolutely beautiful.
Agree!!!
@@beeman2075 yeah this song hurts, I feel happines and sadness together from this melody all at once
Se llama Trilce, que significa tristeza dulce. Es un sentimiento hermoso que causa tristeza. ❤
James Horner might be best known for Titanic, and other big projects like Avatar but surprisingly I first learned of him from Casper and this particular piece brought me to tears when I watched the movie, yeah, did not expect that to happen. It was so hauntingly beautiful I just had to google for it and learned that it was a work of James Horner. He had this talent of making music that literally brings me to tears. I cried too when I hear Somewher Out there from An American Tail. Thank you for gracing the world with your beautiful music Mr. Horner. You will be missed :(
TheMschelsea91 He had so many good ones, I love emotianal nostalgic tracks... If We Hold On and Once Upon A Time With Me are two of the most faboulous I've heard. Bless you both §
Really? I will definitely go check them out :)
this and willow will always be my favorite scores of his! Truly Legendary
:'( the best
The Grinch, Bicentennial Man, and Apocalypto O_O
It hurts a little, under all the humor there is still sadness, and love and forgiveness :'(
I was 9 or 10 when i first saw this film at the cinema.
I thought it was beautiful, but as a child never really understood the serious side of it. just laughed at the bits a 10yo would usually laugh at.
i watch it, at 29, and now and I see Kats dad and her mum at the end, where she says
i'm going somewhere where i can watch over both of you til we're all together again.
Tears are a beautiful thing after you lose a loved one, and the end of this film always helps to make those come when the pain gets too much.
Makes me think of my grandmother.
Miss you nan
I miss my friend who died this year too. I know how it is to lose someone.
Cover art = whimsical illustration of quirky ghosts and adorable beloved kids character
Music = the sound of a child dying that is so moving and emotionally resonant you may have to just sit down and contemplate your place in a world filled with such sadness.
I love 90s kid films
When I hear the melody line in the piano I can’t help but picture parents looking through the toys of their children after they have died. The notes bring out a specific kind of sadness associated with the death of a child. The continual high notes reflecting the innocent hope of a child, not fully grasping what was happening. “Dad got really sad” is such a telling line with how old Casper was and how little he really understood about his circumstance. But it also holds that sweetness of paternal love that never fades even after death. Kat’s mother stating that she is always watching over her family is really driven home with the melody as well. Gosh I love the melody of this score. It just kills me. (Pun intended)
Bravo bravo bravo!!!!!!*
What the hell
That's exactly what this feels like. Sometimes words can't convey it, but this music most certainly does.
Notice the conversation between the clarinet, oboe, bassoon, and flute, they represent the child, mother, father, and GOD, the vocals are the angels singing in welcome. The piano represents the sadness of the moment.
Wow! Your words moved me.
It's amazing how James Horner could invoke so many emotions by using only a few piano chords, I truly miss him and his compositions
I can’t think of a more comforting soundtrack outside this. I fell asleep to Casper on VHS every night back in the day. Forever my favorite movie
The love you feel inside you take it with you
I did too!!! what a simpler time
90s movies are what got me to where i am today
Glad to be an 80s kid. i was 10 when this came out.
Where are you today? Someplace good?
The magic and charm that is lost in today's HD CGI fuckfest
@@TheAngryHippie You realise that Casper and all the other ghosts in this movie were entirely CGI, no?
@@DrMcMoist It was, yes. But only when it was necessary. Movies now are just showing off how advanced CGI can be that the story is left behind.
That's the musical definition of sadness.
Have you heard Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings? It's been called the saddest piece of music ever written, but it's not dreary at all, in fact it's really quite beautiful.
I'd also suggest Dvorak's Romance for piano and violin, Op.11, I think it's one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces ever written. If you like Casper's Lullaby have a listen, I think you'll like it.

The music in this movie is a masterpiece! 🥰 especially at 3:18 🤌 Casper, Braveheart and Titanic have the best instrumental soundtracks imo. They just don't make music like it anymore.
Interestingly enough, ALL 3 of those movies you mentioned there were scored by the late, great James Horner! 😢 This has got to be one of his most underrated works! The themes from Cocoon, Willow & An American Tail are also some of his other finest works in my book! 👍👌😌
Land before time too 💔
There's no more scores like this anymore , that can make you feel and tear up like this .
🙏🙏🙏👍
Very underrated movie. When Kat helps Casper remember his life and how he tragically died was truly a touching moment.
If you are the kinda person like me, wait till you hit your 40s. The feelings for longing get more frequent, you know how life works by now and sadly, loved ones start to perish, this soundtrack perfectly depicts those feelings. Soundtracks like this are rarely found anymore
I can't even begin to explain how much this soundtrack and film affected my childhood. It will always have a special place in my heart. RIP James Horner, you will be missed. This is such a loss to the filmmaking,composing community.
RIP James Horner. Your music was legendary.
Can I keep you?
*Cries*
T-T
Casper?
Honva, who are you asking if they never saw the film?
***** I think Question Aut was responding to the "Can I keep you?" line, where Kat replies with "Casper?"
This reminds me of Edward Scissorshands for some reason. Same vibe and feeling to the song, along with a very similar use of the choir.
Same..
I actually prefer Casper over Edward but I have to agree
Yeah James Horner seems to be channeling Danny Elfman here, lovely
James Horner "borrowed" from many musicians, he even re-used his scores several times over in different films. braveheart, avatar, titanic and so many other soundtracks he put together are mind blowing, even if not completely original.
I was JUST thinking that myself as I scrolled past your comment.
Horner is absolutely genius man
Brock Lesnar what?
I swear, James Horner has a gift from God to create such amazing music. "Can I keep you?".... :')
Fractorification can i keep you ...im 32 but hell this still touches me more than any words can say 😭😍😭
I can never understand why people like to rag on the “can I keep you” line, he’s a twelve year old boy who has a friend for the first time in the better part of a century, of course he’s not gonna know how to articulate something like that very well.
Have always loved the music in this movie from the day I first heard it.
200th like. It was beautiful and sad. Classic since I saw it at the drive in in 1994.
Daniel Nahoa Ani, Amen!
When I listen to Horner's work I fantasize that if Winter didn't exist his music would have invented it.
+Marko Petkov Such a unique perspective, I love it!
Very poetic.
I agree. His music is magical.
Thanks. It really affects me emotionally. Don't really know why, I mostly listen to heavy metal. All of his music, and take a listen to Thomas Newman (Meet Joe Black Soundtrack) or Ennio Morricone (The Mission) They to just go straight to my bones.
Horner's death was a sad loss for real music. As Hanz Zimmer once said at the Classical Brit Awards I attended "If it wasn't for film, the orchestra would now be dead".
this song was oddly playing in my head yesterday....
R.I.P james horner,one of the masters amongst John Williams ,Hans Zimmer, alan silvestri
Ennio Morricone?
Don’t forget Michael Giachino
This movie… It’s one of the ones I remember watching over and over with my father. The man I was terrified of, but I loved with all my heart. I’m 29 now, I haven’t spoken to him in 7 years. But when I hear music like this, for a brief second, takes me back to happier times. I cry. I smile. But mostly I cry. He broke me so badly and all I wanted was for him to love me. This is what this music feels like, the awful longing I had as such a small child just for that, just for love.
I hope you found love, and didn’t have to suffer to get it. Parents often don’t realize the huge power they have with a kid, and the huge responsibility they have to a child.
Feelings are so complicated sometimes. Thanks for sharing, stranger.
I hope you've come to truly understand that his inability to give you what you so needed was never because of you but because of him. It's easier said than done, I know. No matter what, regardless of his flaws, you are worthy of love and nothing can change that.
Take it easy!
You are not alone. Only Jesus can remove that sadness, I know. Learn of him, as we all should.
You should reach out and speak to him. I know its not my business or what the whole story is between you and your father but that is your dad and you say you love him. My dad passed away back in 2010 and hardly saw him. He was a good man with a good heart but things didnt work out between my parents when I was at a young age. Give him a call and talk things over. Better to try than to look back and wished you did when its too late.
i just saw this movie after almost 10 years today...it still made me cry
this might sound sappy but love, is truly the best thing in the world.....whether it be towards you parents, you siblings or that special someone....
this song literaly has me crying like a baby lol
Oops
D.A.R.E Encouragement
I'm a really sensitive guy lol
I thought it was remember me this way.
But thats not his lullaby. I don't think it is?
Consequently, I cant watch videos on my phone so im kinda playing a guessing game when videos pop up.
Sensitive? You and me both. Actually i enjoy being around other sensitive people. I can relate with sad emotions because I too have lots of inner emotional pain.
Yeah me too my friend, i think we as people need to show our emotions more rather than hide them and let them get worse its good to cry every once and awhile it shows we are human, i'm glad someone else out there understands.
Me too. Especially when Kat's mum's ghost appears to talk to Dr Harvey
i actually started crying listening to this because so many good memories came flooding back because of this song/movie..one of my personal childhood favourites
Just..magical, i remember as a child watching this and being mesmerized by the music even then
Ah, the sweet feelings of my childhood flooding back.
It's beautiful how the music starts just after: Can I keep you?
Actually it is just before it ends
it actually starts just after, the one that ends was the song Remember me this way...
I’m a film actor, and when I was 7, I was taken to the cinema for the first time. I had no idea what to expect and had wondrous feelings about what it would be like.
The film they took me to: Casper.
This is such a nostalgic music. I was 6 when I first watched Casper😭
Reminds me of how precious our childhood was growing up on this... ❤️
It’s amazing that musical storytelling so haunting, deep, tragic, and beautiful like this can come out of something so innocent and simple like “Casper The Friendly Ghost”.
Fuck I'm only 22 not even that old and I already want time to stop passing me by. Every year goes by faster than the last. To be 7 or 8 again....
laxfan727 holy crap, I´m 22 as well and every day I think that in 10 years I will fucking kill myself in a nostaligc suicide ,,, how can we go on?
Sharfad A lot of great composer will build their inspirations from them and there is going to be some amazing successors! Don't destroy your self!
laxfan727 That's good to hear you say you are only 22. When I was 22 I felt like I was 40. Listening to this, Air, Babyann, etc. I felt that I was already over the edge of mortality. Now I listen to this music while I clean the house. You are a nostalgic soul. Enjoy it.
Wait till u hit 30 ... years will seem like months >= )
+Stoli Cartmanburg I can second that 36 now and feels only yesterday I was 18
Que hermosa melodia.. me recuerda tanto a mi infancia, yo creci viendo esta pelicula y esta cancion en particular me encantaba, a pesar de que era una niña siempre senti que era muy bonita y escucharla ahora hace que me sienta nostalgica.
Es una musica que nunca desaparecio de mi cabeza, a pesar de que la Ultima vez que vi esta pelicula fue hace muchos años, cuando era pequeño. Apenas hoy la volvi a buscar y ahora recuerdo porque nunca la olvide. Tiene una hermosa manera de hacerte sentir en paz, como si fueras un fantasma a Punto de cruzar Al otro lado y mientras lo haces miras Todo lo bueno que viviste en tu vida y Todo El amor que recibiste. Sin duda una de las mas hermosas melodias en la historia del cine.
El tiempo pasa tan rápido! Sin darme cuenta, ya pasaron 5 años desde que escribí el primer comentario. Hoy casualmente, me he acordado de esta melodía. Y siento exactamente las mismas emociones de hace 5 años atrás. Ahora soy mamá y tengo dos niñas pequeñas, pero si Dios así lo permite, les pondré la película de Casper, y haré que escuchen esta hermosa melodía. Tal vez, se enamoren de ella así como lo he hecho yo, a lo largo de todos estos años. ❤️❤️
I miss my childhood.. I miss 90s 😢😢😢😢😢
Greta Bartoli me too
It was a good childhood
❤️
One of thee most hauntingly beautiful pieces in film no doubt. The message I felt from it, is one of farewells and goodbyes to the people in your life that so often come and go.
Just brings back childhood memories
No matter what the thought, a broken relationship, lost friends, deceased members, you always get emotional. I feel like a ghost myself when I ask my ex "Can I keep you" James Horner I wish one day I can make music like you.
I do love this piece so incredibly much. It reminds me of my wife. I really can't do justice to my feelings for her and we've been divorced now for a few years. I think when I was little I always thought to myself that this music would come to me when I found my soul mate, and it did when I found her. I even asked her once, "Can I keep you?" I still love her and it's sad knowing that I may never love someone so deeply. As much as this breaks my heart, it reminds me so lovingly of her. Thank you for uploading, it's incredibly beautiful.
Thats so sad but at least she is still here, you can do something. My boyfriend passed away a month ago. Thats my last wish, to hear his voice and hug him one last time.
Loss is sad, no matter what. I'm sorry for your loss, I really am. Believe me, I fought for her. I just lost out. I guess I wasn't her soul mate, but I think we will all be so lucky again. As much it hurts, we will always have that love.
I wish I could take him back. My perception of life changed after his passing.
Mine too. I've changed so much as a person in the last few years. I'm not at all the same guy I was. But, its given me experiences I wouldn't have had otherwise either. I know that death is very different from divorce. But, loss can afford us different things. Not better...it doesn't have to be better. Just different. And you can be as happy again.
Thats the most accurate thing someone has told me so far. I hope you can be happy again, happier than you were before. Thank you for your kind words. Sometimes the best advices come from people so different and also far from us.
Rest in peace maestro. I grew up with your music appreciating the range of emotions you inflicted on each note. I always wished that I could have met you one day and could have collaborated on a project of my own. But now, sadly that will never happen, and we're only left with your wonderful legacy to remember.
What you just said was very profound and meaningful. I'm an actor, so I was hoping to work with him in a movie with his composition. I have a great amount of respect for you.
That was beautiful man ... I think music is the most powerful thing the one leaves when he dies .
Fractorification wait why rip what happened to him
Amy Rose He died back in 2015.
The guy was literally one of the greatest film composers of all time. So many of the movies he scored were successful or at least moving or memorable.
While flying a plane... wonderful composer... „Aliens“, „Land Before Time“, „Casper“, „Braveheart“, „Jumanji“, „Titanic“, I could go on forever... he didn’t deserve to die so suddenly and tragically...
I was born in 1991 and have gone through a lot such as learning difficulties and hard times making friends in childhood.
Even to this day with the passing of my oldest sister who was only 36.
I’d give ANYTHING to relive childhood again and relive the fun closeness of my family and siblings. ❤
This ONE piece of music brings me way back. Thank you, Mr Horner 😢
my childhood just smacked me right in the face
samantha rose
rip childhood..
It happens to us all
Same
It hurts so good in the heart ❤️
The last time I saw this film was when I was a kid. Today at the age of 34 I hear this song again and it is still beautiful.
I haven’t watched since I was 17 and now I’m 29
The beauty of James Horner's score
God, that piano part ALWAYS gets to me! 🥺😭 THANK YOU James Horner! ❤ May you RIP always & forever, sir! 🙏👑
This gives me flashbacks to when me and my grandma would watch Casper together, but things have changed overtime and she doesn't spend much time with me. So I ended up showing this movie to my younger siblings and they like it, so now I play this movie almost all the time and watch it with them
I watched this film as a kid and I just watched it again yesterday with my dad and my sister. The emotions were honestly so high! 💖😢 The nostalgia and also the journey of this incredible film really got to me - a timeless tale! I love this era of films! It felt like time stood still when watching this film and a wave of calm, peace but also sadness, loss & innocence washed over me... it also reminded me how amazing this soundtrack is!
I was going to say I miss my childhood hearing this song, but....I realized that even if I miss it, I wouldn't want to go back.
Why? Because back then I didn't live all I lived until today, all the people I met, all the things I've done, wouldn't exist.
And right now, what I really wish is to, one day, share this with my children, just like my mother did with me.
yeah I don't want to go back to my childhood. It wasn't THAT great most of the time. Maybe I could go back and have a new childhood somewhere else...oh well. haha. but nostalgia still creates feelings
*A piece that takes you on a trip worlds away yet simultaneously feels like home*
At 1:07 my heart just melts.. Holding back tears the first minute is hard but when that starts, it can't be helped. Miss you James!
David Mooney, Me as well, I just think of that scene with Casper talking with Kat about his life and death, it never really mattered to me when I first watched it but since recently I played it that scene makes me realise how short life really is
I was 2 when this movie came out , but I watched it when I was around 7 and I still remember it today especially this song it stuck with me
I was 2 when it came out too
es raro, pero los hermanos Fleischer cuando crearon a Casper por los años 30, me imagino que no se dieron cuenta lo triste que es el personaje de un niño fantasma.
Para mi siempre sera la mejor pelicula que eh visto en toda mi vida me llego hasta el alma lloré con esta pelicula ,te enseña mucho a valorar a las personas que uno quiere
It’s like hearing something that has died years ago and you miss it so dearly 🥺
When Kat starts to talk about her mom with Casper...that makes me cry
I remember as a kid I did too...
this plays in my head when I think of my youth.
+Rick Estrada Mine too, such a beautiful piece of music
in my opinion, one of the most saddest "tear jerkers" songs of all movies my family and i ever owned.
James Horner, that master of feelings.
honestly i can never listen to this anymore, it is in my playlists but every time it plays i just skip it because my older sister used to play it always befor going to sleep and now she's married away from me and it hurts my heart to listen to it when she's no longer sleeping by the bed next to me....
Casper! I didn't forget. Grew up watching casper. Did you?
I watched it a few times during my childhood, but I still remembered a lot of scenes. Now that I own it on DVD these days, I am able to watch it all. It’s a very wonderful movie. :)
Surprisingly moving music for such a film. Why can't we have such music in today's films?
Does anyone else get strange flashbacks to this 1:06, like flashbacks to the 90's when you were a kid and life was so easy and carefree.
No I’ve never had it easy or carefree. There were instances it felt like it for a few moments but when u have a schizophrenic parent, there’s no such thing as “peace” like an army vet, u never know what to expect. Go from affectionate and sweet to degrading and hitting my head against the floor at any given moment. Thanks to Nickelodeon and Super Nintendo I got to transport myself into other worlds (temporarily) I wanted to be like Timmy, live in the country with perfect parents and a beautiful collie and in my imagination sometimes I did
Yep! 🤙🏼
I wish I could go back in the past. When magic was still here
Sorry my not perfect English! i write from Italy. I wanted to express my thoughts after reading all these wonderful comments. I was born in 1990, this film marked my childhood. I have an indescribable sensation hearing this melody. I am moved by reading the comments of other peers from all parts of the world who feel the same feelings as me! even though we grew up in distant and different places, thanks to this film after all this time we feel the same! it's like magic!
So many years later - still one of the most beautiful songs I have heard. 😌
I loved the casper movies...😁
Any other 40 year old men listening to this and just sobbing uncontrollably?
🖐
"Can i keep you?"
I've seen comments for this piece of music, of people saying that listening to this feels like you're getting a hug from your childhood memories on your worst days", or it makes you long desperately to go back to better times, and honestly i couldn't sum up this piece of music anymore perfectly. The late Horner composed such a beautiful soundtrack for this film and this track was the stand out. Such an amazing song that takes you back to your childhood and makes you want to relive those days again
Today is the 20th anniversary of this great film, one of best performances of Christina Ricci.
This music makes me more sad because I can never see Her and I'll never have the chance to hug Her , I Love Her so much...
***** She's still alive, and anything can happen... you might actually get to meet her.
Sundial83 I hope this soo much, it's the best thing that can happens to me
I fell in love with Christina ricci when I first saw this movie
***** If you can love someone you've never met and have never known, you are only in love with a projection of yourself. Your 'love' is nothing more than a form of narcissism or psychological masturbation.
You're in love with a construct of your own mind's making. You're in love with yourself essentially.
Marcara081 D'you remember the phenomenon of the '' love at first sight "? or do you think that all people fall in love only after living and fully met someone? I went over.
When I fell in love with Christy, aesthetically She was not even my ideal type of woman!
Apart from the fact that it is not that I like just her outward appearance, but how She moves, how She speaks and informing me, even the things She says and her sense of irony.
Love nowadays is considered only as an accessory to sex. I don't think this. For me the love, the real one, resists and goes beyond the inability to fuck and have to deal with the person . If you love a person you are not selfish and want only her happiness, and I know that I will never see her and be with Her.
Is not that I pretend to be her boyfriend, attention. I love Her and I just want Her happiness. If I thought that my happiness and the desire to "have Her" is more important that Her happiness, then I would be selfish.
Mine is not psychologial masturbation or mind's making. And then, I don't even love myself so is not narcissism too.
Loving Christy is the best thing ever happened to me, and I'm happy when I think of Her and She makes me doing so much art too.
I just cried a little...love it.
I'm not going to lie and say I'm not balling my eyes out in 2020, listening to this, hoping my family doesn't hear me cry. This one, Hook Soundtrack (You Are the Pan), Anakin's Betrayal Star Wars: Episode Three, Padme's Ruminations, Star Wars Episode Threel and the Immolation Scene from Star Wars: Episode Three always brings me to slobbery tears.
The love you feel for someone, if it is true, never dies.
Breaks my heart to have lost such a beautiful and inspired mind.
