That's the only way I can describe it. And instead of writing out sheet music, I just did up a quick [url=hhttp://www.mediafire.com/?652hk4vam41v0jv]audio clip for you to listen to (mediafire)[/url].

Could somebody please tell me the name of the song? It's driving me nuts

sounds like something from The Fountain (Clint Mansell) but I may be totally wrong



edit: actually only the chords do, the melody doesnt

Sorry i can't help, but that does sound like a lovely piece. Wouldn't mind hearing the whole thing myself.

I changed the link. I think the piece plays a little slower, and the notes have more reverb, etc, etc.

Is there an app for smart phones whereby you can hum/whistle a song and it'll ID it for you? It used to be "Midomi", but it's no longer.

One of my favourite films and soundtracks too. Saw Clint Mansell and Kronos quartet at a church in Islington, Darren Aranorfsky was there, amazing!

I know, same with me! I can't remember what movie I heard it in, but it was definitely during a sad part.

i think his scores can be a little obnoxious, the fountain is great though.
