Pandora by Frances Ashman (features in film Nil By Mouth)

[pinks245]

This is such a truly brilliant song, moves me every time no words can describe, as it reminds me if the scene in Nil By Mouth as they both look so calm and at peace.

[roytetwart]

Really great track.

Thankyou for posting it.

[roytetwart]

[roytetwart]

Absolutely brilliant.

[discoqueenful]

extraordinary



[myaccountsdisabled]

The three idiots who down thumbed this have no taste in music what so ever. NONE!

[paulm767]

Thank you so so much for adding this to youtube, the film Nil By Mouth touched the very soul of me and the scene where Kathy Burke and Edna Dora are dancing to this track is a great, no words spoken by the music says it all. One again thank you and to Frances Ashman, please release an album, you'll be surprised how many people are looking for your work!

[parisjimmy1]

I can'nt believe I found this song.  I have been looking for over 10 years! Beautifulxx

[Mrphatbastard1]

@parisjimmy1 WOW! I just found it as well, even recorded the sound track from the movie but quality sucked. WOW I can't believe it!!!

[jessyrichy]

this song is so powerful. I play it when I'm feeling low. I love it. I wish there was some way of getting it onto my i-pod?

[Clara1173]

I love this song:))

[imattv]

this song is beautiful. This film is painful &hard to watch...i had to start & stop it like, 6 times...but there are some phenomenal performances...and honestly the scene this punctuates is, in contrast to the stark bleakness &staggering brutality that comprises 90% of the film, 1 of THE most brilliant & moving images I've ever experienced in a motion picture.

[urbanscubadiver1]

@imattv ..well said..same same here..this tune when she dances with her mum propa gets me....

[btvfesta]

top tune cant belive they never released soundtrack 4 nil by mouth

[Deucecanshuffle2226]

[TheJadeycakes89]

such powerfull music, such a powerfull film, especially if you can relate to it, ray winstone and kathy burke are truely magic! such a shame a soundtrack was never released.

[Patrikuse]

One of the greatest low budget films in the history of Cinema.

[Patrikuse]

Nil By Mouth is a wonderfull film. Gary Oldman has created one of the rawest, realistic, complex films in recent years. Ray Winstone and Kathy Burke are Magic!

[Jlmtik4]

I believe everybody's better for having heard this song, and seeing this movie.

[MrRory35]

well sead

[MrRory35]

what a seen,, i have never felt so close to some one i have last thank you for the memory,,love you mam x x x

[sean4paisley]

One of the best films ever made, dark as fuck. Amazing acting from Kathy Burke and the mighty Ray Winstone and this track is a revelation

[windchimex]

very underrated track ....great scene with Kathy.

[paperandtea]

amazing scene..gary oldman directed that scene with so much talent kathy was great and the track is enough to make u cry and reflect ..its a painful yet majic moment

[debraange]

Quote: WE CANT GO BACK AND CHANGE THE BEGINNING - BUT WE CAN GO FORWARD AND CHANGE THE ENDING!

[tommeercat]

@debraange I love the quote, but where is it from???

Its not in the song- not that I can hear anyway lol

Is it in the film?

I've seen the film a few times and don't remember it. x

[debraange]

@tommeercat glad u love the quote, no its not in the film i came across it at a time when i was feeling low, check quotes and sayings on google.x

[debraange]

thanks to gary oldham for letting us into his early life, nothing was left out nothing was forgiven. A true insight for all us struggling to be the best in what we do those of us whom have a dream. If Hollywood can welcome Gary from south london and well dragged up! We can all eventually have a great, successful, happy life, keep trying! I am.

[paperandtea]

nice comment yea his sisters doin allright in eastenders aint she bless her he is an amazing director and ray winstone is an amazing actor

[MandyBuglet]

The scene with this song is my favorite of the movie NBM.

It's just so peaceful compared to the rest of the movie.

-Amanda

[paperandtea]

was a beutiful powerful emotional true and deep and meaningful scene that some of us may be able 2 relate to,get goosebumps and kinda wanna shed a tear,brilliant film great music

[sparkstron73]

Lovely track and lovely moment.

[ascampyboy]

[BeeAnne01]

IM IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG AND THE FILM

xo0xo0xo0

[paperandtea]

ray winstone and kathys performance are on a level of di nero

[KieferSutherland00]

this film was on tv last night , Great it will never get old and couldnt ask for a better cast

[glennopd]

Kathy Burke won the Palm D'Or for best actress at Cannes for her excellent portrayal of Valerie. She should have gotten the Oscar. Fucking Helen Hunt got it for As Good As It Gets....fucking says it all!

[fuzzbot666]

awesome

[deknlaini1]

this is such an heartbreaking record, it really cut's were it hurt's just can't stop listenin to it, and the film nil by mouth is excellent, wel done ray winstone and kathy burke

I thank you with all my heart! Like so many others, I have continued all these years to search for Frances' music ever since the theatrical release of Nil By Mouth - 10 years now!!! I'm beyond ecstatic just to HEAR these haunting songs again.

To Frances Ashman, from one artist to another: I truly hope one day you will have an album out. The world badly needs the kind of beauty you create. Thank you for these songs.
