Zimmer spent the early part of his career in the United Kingdom before moving to the United States. He is the head of the film music division at DreamWorks studios and works with other composers through the company that he founded, Remote Control Productions, formerly known as Media Ventures. His studio in Santa Monica, California has an extensive range of computer equipment and keyboards, allowing demo versions of film scores to be created quickly.
Zimmer's works are notable for integrating electronic music sounds with traditional orchestral arrangements. He has received four Grammy Awards, three Classical BRIT Awards, two Golden Globes, and an Academy Award. He was also named on the list of Top 100 Living Geniuses, published by The Daily Telegraph.
Zimmer was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany on 12th September 1957, and moved to London as a teenager. While he lived in London, Zimmer wrote advertising jingles for Air-Edel Associates. Zimmer began his musical career playing keyboards and synthesisers. In 1980 he worked with The Buggles, a New Wave band formed in 1977 with Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes, and Bruce Woolley, appearing briefly in the video for "Video Killed the Radio Star" (1979).
In the 1980s, Zimmer worked with film composer Stanley Myers, a prolific film composer who composed scores for over sixty films. Zimmer and Myers co-founded the London-based Lillie Yard recording studio. Together, Myers and Zimmer worked on fusing the traditional orchestral sound with state-of-the-art electronics. Some of their first movies with this new sound include "Moonlighting" (1982), "Success is the Best Revenge" (1984), "Insignificance" (1985), and "My Beautiful Launderette" (1985). In 1986, Zimmer joined David Byrne and Ryuichi Sakamoto on their Oscar-winning score for "The Last Emperor" (1988).
Soon afterwards, Zimmer began working on his own solo projects. During his solo career years, Zimmer experimented and combined the use of old and new musical technologies. His first solo score was for Chris Menges’s film "A World Apart" (1988). However, the turning point in his career came later that year when he was asked to compose a score for Barry Levinson’s film "Rain Man" (1988). In the score, Zimmer uses synthesizers mixed with steel drums. The score was nominated for an Academy Award in 1989. A year later Zimmer was asked to compose a score for Bruce Beresford's "Driving Miss Daisy" (1989), which won a Grammy Award 1991.
In 1994, Zimmer won his biggest commercial hit for Disney’s "The Lion King" (1994). He wanted to go to South Africa himself to record the soundtrack, but couldn't because he had a police record there for making subversive films. "The Lion King" soundtrack won numerous awards, including an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and two Grammys. It was then adapted for the Broadway musical version, which won the Tony for Best Musical in 1998.
Since the success of "The Lion King", Zimmer has written numerous film scores. His hundredth composition was for "The Last Samurai" (2003), for which he won both a Golden Globe and a Broadcast Film Critics nomination in 2004. After composing over a hundred film scores, Zimmer finally performed live for the first time in concert with a hundred-piece orchestra and a hundred-person choir at the twenty-seventh Annual Flanders International Film Festival.
He has received numerous honours and awards, including: Prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award in Film Composition from the National Board of Review, Frederick Loewe Award in 2003 at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, ASCAP’s Henry Mancini Award for Lifetime Achievement, and BMI's prestigious Richard Kirk Award for lifetime achievement in 1996. Today, Zimmer is considered to be the father of integrating the electronic musical world with traditional orchestral arrangements.
Zimmer's first wife was a model, Vicki Carolin, with whom he has a daughter, model Zoe Zimmer. Zimmer lives in Los Angeles with his second wife Suzanne Zimmer with whom he has an additional three children.
My Only
Hans Zimmer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My only one
My only
My only mate
My only love
My only
There was a time that a long agoI only have myself
I wasn't lonely
I dance alone
And there was no one else
Share the stars with me to day
And I have me
Only mate was only in my dreams
Only mate
Only world
My only
My only mate
My only love
My only
Soon
Marry kiss
And the feels will be
That no mine
You're for me forever
The song 'My Only' by Hans Zimmer is a short and sweet composition, with minimal lyrics that represent a deep and complex feeling. The song is about finding and holding onto true love. The repeated phrase, "My only mate, my only love" represents a sense of unity and the feeling that the other person is the only one that matters. The opening lines also speak of how the singer once danced alone and didn't need anyone, but with the arrival of their true love, everything changed.
The line "Only mate was only in my dreams" feels like the singer has finally found something they always wanted. Moreover, the line "Share the stars with me today and I have me" feels like the singer is content with themselves, but adding the love of their life makes everything much sweeter. The song speaks to the power of finding true love and how it makes everything so much better.

My only mate
The one person who has been my constant companion
My only one
The one person who holds a special place in my life
My only
The one and only
My only love
The one whom I love dearly and without reservation
There was a time that a long ago
Once upon a time, long before now
I only have myself
I was all alone and had only myself to rely on
I wasn't lonely
I may have been alone but did not feel the absence of companionship
I dance alone
I enjoyed my own company and danced by myself
And there was no one else
There was nobody around to share the moment with me
Share the stars with me to day
Share this beautiful moment with me today, with the stars as our witness
And I have me
I am comfortable in my own skin and do not need anyone else to validate me
Only mate was only in my dreams
The idea of a companion was only a dream at that time
Only world
The world in which we share, just the two of us
Soon
In a short amount of time
Marry kiss
The moment when we seal our love with vows and a kiss
And the feels will be
The emotions that will arise
That no mine
That they do not belong to me alone, but are shared between us
You're for me forever
You will always be mine, forever and ever

"I will love you as long as I breathe." Remember, Paul is prescient. He's not making Chani a promise here, he's stating an absolute fact.
@Stitchman3875
In the book, Chani was fine with the arrangement because she knew it was only for political reasons that Paul married Irulan. Paul told her that Chani will be the one who he shares the bed with, etc. Jessica even assured Chani telling that while they are concubines now, they will be remembered as wives. So my guess is that in the next movie, Chani is gonna warm up to it. We saw a glimpse of that in Part One.
@Musabre
@@Stitchman3875 Yes, the snippet of them both on the floating craft dressed in black overlooking victorious soldiers on (what looks like) Caladan or similar earthlike planet. I think his nightmare/vision in the tent in part 1 was more accurate than initially seems.
@Stitchman3875
@@Musabre exactly. I’m not sure which planet it was in Part One, but it’s gonna be typical of all the planets his crusade occupies/invades. My guess is either Chani sees that Paul’s actions are beneficial and she comes around, or she fears him and comes around. I would prefer the former since it is more in line with the book. We’ll just have to what DV has in store for us.
@lkeke35
He can see that they are endgame! And that she will have his children! It's why he makes no effort to pursue her at the end. He knows he will see her again, but still, he broke her heart so badly!
@lemonysnow47
Considering the vagueness surrounding Paul's visions with Jamis in Part One, I wouldn't be surprised if we see that Fremen on Caladan shot, but it's Irulan who stands next to Paul.

Jesus,that ending is one of the most powerful and gut wrenching since The Empire Strikes Back. And i was sad when Chani left,realizing that Paul was no longer the man she loves.

@@miltontavares9506Love just doesn’t end……she left out of anger when she stared at the Emperors Daughter. She needed to feel like she mattered so she called upon a worm to test her self, she’s going back to her people to help them.
