Also sprach Zarathustra (2001)

I found today's song by way of a YouTube channel I listen to once in a while. Not quite social media, but not too far off.

"Also sprach Zarathustra" was composed in 1896 by Richard Strauss, inspired by Nietzsche's work of the same name. Most people know it because it was used in the "Dawn of Man" sequence of Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. A film that you should definitely see at least once. I have seen it many times.

This song is "Also sprach Zarathustra (2001)" by Deodato from his 1973 album Prelude.

If you are wondering WHY you should see 2001: A Space Odyssey, I cannot explain that better than Danika. Her video 2001: A Space Odyssey EXPLAINED in 2001 Seconds does contain spoilers if you haven't seen it, and 2001 seconds is about 34 minutes.
