You shall die. You may see. The beauty and the horror.

"There is no one in this room who can stand against me. Your mothers warned you about my coming. Fear the moment. But you think you could have a chance. But you are afraid, what if I could be the One? This could be the moment you've been praying for, all your life." -- Timothee Chalamet as Paul Atreides in DUNE: PART TWO.

how the soundtrack of Dune part two helped build Paul and Chani's love story

A Time of Quiet Between the Storms

what we hear: The music is building slowly. Very slowly. You can hear the sand dancing all around it. The wind blowing. There is a melody that sounds like hope. There are some whispers in the background. It all sounds like as if something is glowing. The layers keep adding up until the hopeful melody is all you can hear, building with harmonies, with such a bright sound you can almost see the sun if you close your eyes listening to it. It is somehow deeply sad and hopeful at the same time. Drums are added which elevates the music to a level that altogether feels epic.

what we see: Nothing is safe. None of them knows what their future holds, whether they will find safety or not, what tomorrow is going to bring. They are trying to find their ways in whatever is left of their world. These tiny moments together are all they have. Outside of these moments all there is are fights, tears and loss. The pressure of his future would break him if it wasn't for her. But there's the miracle of somehow finding each other throughout all this. Getting to know each other day by day. With small gestures like glances and touches and smiles building up. Finding safety in each other. Building trust. Falling in love.

Kiss the Ring

what we hear: A sizzle. Harmony. The melody slowly returning. The same glowing, beautiful melody of hope. Carrying their world. Their moments. Their love. Their fate. It builds quickly, instrument by instrument. until it feels monumental once again, even louder than before- but another layer appears, and it is bittersweet. Sounds like victory. Vocals are added and there is a piercing high note in the background that is ominous. It is their melody still, but there is no "them" anymore. Heartbeats. Beating faster. What was once theirs is now no more. The music stops on a high and shatters all at once, just like her world did.

what we see: He won everything he wanted. There are obstacles and battles left to fight still but so far he has everything. Feyd-Rautha is dead, the Emperor is on his knees in front of him. The whole world is his to have. But in order for him to get all this he had to give her up. Give Chani's love up. Let her go. He chose his head instead of his heart to not be weak like his father was- even if it broke him. He knows all that already before she does. But she realizes it in just a second. Even in the last moment, where it's all said and done, he turns to take one last look at her. They look into each other's eyes and say nothing but say everything at the same time.

[Chani] was like a touch of destiny. He felt caught up on a wave, in tune with a motion that lifted all his spirits.

Paul swallowed. The figure in front of him turned into the moon's path and he saw an elfin face, black pits of eyes. The familiarity of that face, the features out of numberless visions in his earliest prescience, shocked Paul to stillness. He remembered the angry bravado with which he had once described this face-from-a-dream, telling the Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam: "I will meet her." And here was the face, but in no meeting he had ever dreamed.
