this song is just tooo quiet. i have volume all the way up on both youtube and my cpu, and i barely hear it. so yea, how'z about a louder version, please.
The movie was great and I love Casey Affleck as a director and as an actor. That said, the book by Dennis LeHane is still superior to the movie. This is most often the case with novels turned into movies. This one was exceptionally well-done.
@soopsoop111 AWESOME, now I'll know to look for it in that episode :D I was introduced to Alexi Murdoch via Zachary Quinto (in an interview; he was talking about music he loved). I adore his music now <3
*****SPOILER ALERT*******This movie was spectacular!! Casey Affleck's decision at the end was the right thing to do but he'll never know if it was in the best interest of the child. The little girl's mom was no good but she was HER little girl. Morgan Freeman had no right doing what he did but it will always hang over Casey Affleck's head, the little girl might have been better off with a man who knows what it's like to loose a child, therefore knows how to purely love and truly appreciate one.
@Skullz930 - Totally agree. Regardless of what a crappy mother she was, she still loved her child. She didn't love her the right way, or appreciate her, but she still loved her. No matter how nice Morgan Freeman was, the truth is, she was not his, nor did he have any right to take her. I was very torn, battling the decision in my own head, but in the end, truth is truth. No matter how you feel about it, no matter how much you disagree with it, truth is truth. Love doesn't drown out truth.
No. It is morally ambiguous - just like everything else. There are a host of factors that must be taken into account and 'right' or 'wrong' are only two labels amongst millions tacked on every issue. The more human an issue is, the more so. Truth is factories telling the public not to feed strikers so it ends sooner. Love is giving food to the strikers' starved families. And even then it works both ways.
Truth is Helene is her biological mother. Love might favor Freeman in the end.
This isn't the full version of the song...the lyrics are: Someone reaching for me now Through the dark, reaching for me now Someone reaching for me now Through the dark, reaching for me now You need someone to hear you when you sigh Someone to wipe away those tears you cry Someone to hold you 'neath the darkened sky Someone to love you more than I I love you girl I love you more than I can say I love you girl I love you more than I can say Even with my heart in the way
LOVE IT! Thank you so much for posting "Through The Dark" by Alexi Murdoch from the film Gone Baby Gone. I myself and another reviewer on Amazon both were mourning the fact that this beautiful song was NOT on the CD or mp3 download. I am so happy you have found it and posted it... where did it come from? Where can I find more by this wonderful musician?
@catherinetodd - I don't think this song is on Away We Go, but it was a fantastic movie and a brilliant soundtrack. This song is on a CD called Towards the Sun, and it's a limited release, hand numbered. It's fabulous.
@rblasco1970 : THANK YOU for the name of the CD: Towards the Sun. I saw the movie and it was wonderful. Going to see if I can get the CD. Gracias, amigo!
@rblasco1970 : THANK YOU for the name of the CD: Towards the Sun. I saw the movie and the music was wonderful. Going to see if I can get the CD. Gracias, amigo!
actually, gone baby gone came out at the beginning of 2007, we're almost at the end of 2009. but thanks for trying to start a completely pointless argument over entirely inconsequential details..
yeah, it won't let me download it from there. i managed to get a couple of versions from a google torrent search though, very happy about that. thanks anyway!
@catherinetodd - CD called Towards the Sun. Better hurry, though, because he only made 5,000 copies of this CD. They are hand numbered, seven songs on the CD, and you can order it off of his website.
hi thanks for posting this. i was wondering if you have this exact track but in a bit better quality because i am making a short film atm and this would be perfect. please let me know thanks alot
Afleck hasn't had a true hit since Good Will Hunting. He's done movies, but the last few of them have been really lousy box-office wise. they have a saying in H'wood, Three strikes, you're out. I think Gigli was the last of those three. He did a couple movies after that, but I can't even remember what they are.
He did one earlier this year with Russell Crow that was really good. He was listed much farther down in the credits.
In my opinion, he did do the right thing by principle, but as far as the future of the little girl is concerned, we can only wonder what lies ahead for her. I would have made the same decison as Casey Affleck by calling the police, because although Morgan Freeman's intentions were for the sake of the little girl, it was wrong. We are all confronted with a moral dilemma in our lives and the decisons we make stay with us whether they were right or wrong.
So true. There was a great line from the movie spoken by Ed Harris that I feel represents exactly what the movie is all about and completely ties in with the ending.
Detective Remy Bressant: Would you do it again? Clip Corwin Earle?
Patrick Kenzie: No.
Detective Remy Bressant: Does that make you right?
Patrick Kenzie: I don't know.
Detective Remy Bressant: It doesn't make it wrong, though, does it?
Perhaps he did the right thing in principle; but one is left to wonder, how the girl will turn out? Likely she'll be a second of her mother, irresponsible and trashy. Her mother would probably forget about her and go on with her vapid life, and the little girl would be offered a good life with Morgan Freeman. One day she would probably have to face her origins, but I think if I were her I'd appreciate the way things turned out. It's morally ambiguous, I s'pose.
@Stranger - Sorry. Regardless of how nice Freeman's character was, he was not that little girl's daddy. He took that child in the middle of the night, from her bed, from her mommy, and no amount of pretty clothes or toys could ever change that. The lies that accompany his decision, and the lies he would tell that child when she asks for her mommy makes clear that it is not morally ambiguous. We don't like Helene, but that doesn't change the fact that she was Helene's baby, not Freeman's.
@rblasco1970 And it's not that we don't like Helene-we are shown just how incorrigible a mother she is, how the child's development would be stunted by her influence, lacking in options. Means justify the (long term) ends; evil must sometimes to be used to counter greater evil: a few strands in a web, and it's multicolored, not black and white. Wherever your opinions lie, you can't take lying and kidnapping as sure-fire proof of complete wrong, because some would say Helene's having a child is.
Gone Baby Gone is so gripping as well as its soundtrack. It can be very heart jerking at times like at the end. I cried watching this movie. I believe that the decision that Casey Affleck's character made at the was the right thing to do. What do you think?
of course is the right decision 'cause thinking of if you were "kidnapped" when you were a child then after years you find the truth that your mum doesn't have to do anything in this story, you were just stolen!
@Urbanium2000 You guys misunderstand the ending. There were clear signs at the end that lead us to believe that Helene wasn't changing her ways. You can see the regret in Patrick's expression as he talks to her and sits down with Samantha. But that's not the point, the point is not whether he made the "right" choice, there are valid arguments for either side. The point is that despite the gravity of the situation Patrick chose to follow his beliefs even though everyone would hate him for it.
i just have posted it here because there isn't full song yet, and i don't know which parts contain but, in the movie, it "goes singing for about 5 minutes!
Now I'm going to have to see this movie. o.o
