Crash Soundtrack - Sense of Touch

[LGKids]

I actually missed this amazing music in this film and later heard it at the end of SVU show where Ludacris character and Ice T's character have a parting of the ways, so to speak! Don't know what I was thinking the first time I watched this movie, but it was on last night and I said, hey that's that haunting, but cool music! Peace!

[01DancingPrincess]

The song is called Lisa Lan actually. For those of us who are Welsh and prefer it to be called by it's Welsh name.

[melliexo]

I have had this on repeat all day

[mcgoof171]

I can just see them trying to pull Matt Dillon out of the car, and him crawling back to save her.

So powerful...

[josettebeau]

it's soo sad and beautiful...

[medgasguy]

Haunting, yet sounds like a beautiful song from an angel.

[JDzombaK]

I've listened to this song over 200 times, literally... I should really watch the movie. 

[LaughyTafty]

anyone know what it says in welsh?

[JDzombaK]

@LaughyTafty I can't post a link due to YT restriction, but Google "sense of touch welsh translation" and go to the wikianswers page.

[FilmNationUnite]

This reminds me everyday to tell somebody in my life that I love them. To remind them that no matter how busy or how stressed I get that the love I feel for them is the most important thing,

[alexdu97440]

i cryed ommgg it's very saddddddddddd!!

[iAmTheQuam]

i can't explain the feelings that arise when i hear this song...

[MilwaukeeSDman]

Who created this wonderful song?

[JDzombaK]

@MilwaukeeSDman Mark Isham was the composer of Crash's soundtrack, I believe.

[yomajo]

That voice...

[MegaKc9]

such an epic song.

[MTKoch90]

if you dont like this song you have no heart

[ZilentKi11er]

12 persons doesn't have feelings

[Razzmatazz4]

We watched this in AP Psychology and I went home and bought the soundtrack. The movie and the music are phenomenal.

[filthygerman027]

who else got this song from crash?

[captainsimon1]

@filthygerman027 I see what you did there! ;)

[DaKilla331]

@filthygerman027 it says "crash soundtrack" in the title dumbass, obviously the majority of the people here got this from the movie

[wolfie0516]

Same here. I heard it on SVU and thought it was so beautiful.

[TheImmortalRealm]

These kinds of songs never fail to leave me in tears and I am a grown 22 year old man apparently... Ah what the hell, I am human after all.

[eddieyyy3]

I can't stop hearing Thandie Newton screaming when I hear this song.

"No....Get away from me! STAY AWAY FROM ME! NOT YOU, NOT YOU!! DON'T TOUCH ME!!!"

[LostDommm]

@eddieyyy3 So many incredibly scenes in Crash.

[LaddergoatSupreme]

@eddieyyy3 That scene is like a punch in the face, a punch full of sooooo many emotions.

[eddieyyy3]

@LaddergoatSupreme It's like she wasn't even acting, it was so heartfelt and real.

[LaddergoatSupreme]

@eddieyyy3 Pure magic.

[IGodIsLoveI]

WUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Q TEMON MAS CHIDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

<3 <3 <3 <3 ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[Darkoalive]

God, that movie is fucking awesome and the soundtrack is even more

[kwah596979]

No matter how many times I listen to this magnificent song I get goosebumps.

Welsh is a beautiful language.

[jaycolston]

I played this at my Mums funeral because we both loved the film so much.

[ladyjag121]

movie was definatley oscar worthy

[theMUSE4life]

what does she say?

[spaceylover]

@vonkvetch it is an episode entitled 'Screwed' the season opener for SVU 2007. A lil trivia for y'all: Ludacris plays in both the movie 'Crash' in which they use this song, and in the SVU episode in which they use the song as well. Blew my mind when I had watched the movie and then at some point later on, saw the show.

[SuperMariopuzo]

this film has one of the best soundtracks of modern years, I find it hard to think of many others that even come close

[knarrie1966]

Great Song! 

[DivaGB]

The lyrics are from the Welsh folk song Lisa Lân. Here you go:

Bûm yn dy gusanu Lisa gêl

Yr oedd dy gwmni'n well na'r mêl

Do lawer awr mewn mwynder maith

Yr oedd dy gwmni'n well na'r mêl

(Literal translation to English)

I have kissed you mysterious Lisa

And your company was better than honey

Yes, many an hour in prolonged tenderness

And your company was better than honey

[0ElectricWizard]

It's Welsh, "Lisa lân" is it's name. It doesn't even sound Welsh to a Welsh person! Indeed the vocals sound more Middle Eastern than anything else, but that's just because of accents.

[BboyMora1]

When people create these kind of songs I always think to myself "How do they sit there and just think of this shit?...Fuckin Amazing Talent"

[Koraliene]

The language is not Persian or Irish, it is Welsh. It's an old Welsh love song called Lisa Lan. You can find the translation by Googling Sense of Touch Mark Isham Translation. :)

[VeggieLover001]

what is it translatd to english?

[WiseManOfTheForestSK]

The language is the Language of Persian. A tribute to the Persian man who almost killed the little girl. Holy hell I was tearing up at that scene. Also when the Persian daughter who is the Coroner gets a phone call from her father. This song is so beautiful.

[renechanse]

In my opinion I think the song is Irish.

The pattern of the sound is very Irish to me.

Language itself also sound Irish to me, not Welsh.

At first I thought it was the group: Celtic Woman.

[Heather191]

@renechanse It's definitely not Irish.

[joegarston]

Can't Stop Listening..

[sarahyellow]

Makes me think of a moment in someone's life where all the bad things have added up and it's finally the moment to take a deep breath and go through the s*** and face them.

[sarahyellow]

Makes me think of a moment in someone's life where all the bad things have added up and it's finally the moment to take a deep breath and go through the s*** and face them.

[alexdu97440]

ommgg i cry i cry i cry omg this is sab

[mcnuggets2011]

"Oh, I already know who killed him. You did"

:(

[lillunchin1002]

What type of music is this? Out of ignorance I say Indian, or Arabic...and I honestly believe that is wrong.

[LostDommm]

@lillunchin1002 It's a Welsh song.

[lillunchin1002]

@LostDommm Thanx!! Do you know which song was playing when the Iranian couple's store got robbed in the movie Crash? That's how I ended up here...trying to find the answer.

[sillybilly972]

@LostDommm That's fucking brilliant, all along I assumed it was Arabic. A clever ploy to show similarities/misconceptions between in races?

[SturmKorps]

@LostDommm

Source?

[llewrhob]

@lillunchin1002 Its Welsh

[RadiumAudioLtd]

@lillunchin1002 Welsh Traditional song --

[musicfan088]

@lillunchin1002 Igorance is bliss.

[FibiiMedia]

Perhaps less powerful when you realize that the vocals in this track are from a stock vocal sample CD. On a major motion picture. On an "original soundtrack." Ouch.

[32corrupted]

beautiful song.it wakes me up in the morning for work. goes great with the scenes in the movie,very powerful.

[nuckles2k2]

iCloud just found this song in my cloud...completely forgot about this song. I remember rewinding the scene in Crash over and over when they played this. Good stuff.

[horup1]

The most emotional song made. This is a sag song...

[Storm1053]

im gonna play this song when i die

[sameermahoolkar]

@Storm1053 wonderful thought :-)

[dariusdareme]

@Storm1053 me too , along with Apocalyptica - Fade to black and Enigma - Return to Innocence

[Storm1053]

@dariusdareme mate how are you gonna play all them songs at the same time when your dieing, you gonna have a playlist or something xd

[dariusdareme]

@Storm1053 I was thinking of playing these songs at my funeral not literally at the time of my death.

I didn't express myself correctly. :P

[DessyOdile]

this music makes sharing emotions so deep...

[xKatie96]

this song is so sad but beautiful :(

[moniqware]

When I hear this songs, I remembered to my dead father and then I cry :(

[LostDommm]

@moniqware Aw. May he RIP. :( It's good to have a cry every once in a while.. and this is the song to do it to if you've gotta get it out of your system!

[override1998]

@moniqware I pray that you also find peace through the sadness. I am losing mine right now to cancer. I feel your pain.... God Bless.....

[theDjh101]

Not a bad song, but I didn't really find it appropriate in either Law and Order or Crash (funny how Ludacris was in both of those).

[theDjh101]

@theDjh101 I'm going to check back in a few days and see how many thumbs down I got for that 8).

[dariusdareme]

@theDjh101 I don't know why I disagree with you, but I found it brilliant in Crash.

Maybe if you suggested another scene.

I found it as brilliant as How to save a life in Scrubs or Chasing cars in Grey's anatomy.

Show me better scenes.

[TheScumfrog]

One the greatest pieces of music ever put into a film. In fact, one the greatest pieces of music ever produced. Period.

[cbmail007]

*weeps profusely* **wiping tears away to type**

THIS is one of the most emotional scores I have ever heard.  My poor jaded ears have been drowned in Bieber, Gaga, and others and yet this is like a gasp of fresh air in a room of poisonous gas.

[dariusdareme]

One of the few songs that can make me cry

[LostDommm]

@dariusdareme Same here. It doesn't even need a video to go with it. The music alone is enough to make me tremble and tear up. One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever had chance to hear.

[dariusdareme]

Beautiful

[lilkk234]

Jizzed my pants...I fucking love with song!

[silkorganza]

This is hauntingly beautiful music that affected me deeply and the movie isamazing:)

[TheMagnumCWL]

This song made the movie. one of the greatest pieces i have ever heard.

[nsxforever]

Winning..

[Kimj1990]

@nsxforever duhh

[1bottlejackdaniels]

i love Carol Ensley's voice>> intense and sensual! ...other artists are on the same level ...enter>> Loreena McKennitt Galapagos ...or enter>> Dead Can Dance Glorafin ...cheers!

[Pheenixz]

This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard... I think I just had an epiphany...

[guto820ffffff]

It is an arrangment of a traditional welsh folk song and it is sung in welsh. Being welsh my self and Welsh being my native language i was very surprised when I first saw the film.

[DenialGuys]

sounds very gladiatorish

[sjs2011]

Very powerful song..

Can't explain why.. Somehow, it just really is..

[adelmo1989]

My God it make me cry

[scoutreeve]

p.o.w.e.r.f.u.l.

[1988Bluebell]

This movie makes you feel every emotion known to man

[1988Bluebell]

This movie makes you feel every emotion to man

[2801charly]

wahnsinns song !!!!

[sjs2011]

what a fantastic song...

[Thatitaliano]

did the music in this movie have any relation with the music in the movie gladiator?

[somewhatlongdong]

"Crash" was one of the best movies I've ever seen.  I'd recommend it to anyone.

[1lastsoldier]

who sang this song?

[Fallingdown232]

where can i find the instrumental of this? I dont want the vocals

[MachoMoustachio]

Crash didn't deserve to win. As good as it was, it was also awkward and pretencious.

[Davccelion]

@MachoMoustachio ,I am sorry but I will never agree with you. I have had to live in the midst of communities where people came from all corners of the world, and I work as a volunteer to help inmigrants, and I have never seen a movie that described so well the "crash" between different worlds, the strange situations that may arise when the conditions are such...

[changobilly22]

@MachoMoustachio how so? like what about it said awkward and pretentious?

[Victoria92646]

Hadn't seen the movie "Crash" (I will now) and hadn't heard this lovely song until it was played during the last moments of a Law & Order: SVU episode. I googled like mad till I found it and how glad I am that I did. This song is ethereal and transports me to a different place, a better place. I thank God for the richness of talent that is in the world.

[Cameronsfx]

"I think we crash into people just to feel something." -Don Cheadle, Crash There were so many great scenes in this movie. So much pain, so much joy, lies, innocent prejudices, but the truth overwhelmed them all. We are all connected to each other that would should learn to love everyone regardless of what they think or do. If we all do that, we conquer all our fears and hope springs eternal.

[ShadowRhyder]

@flwraaa3003; The language is  the Language of heaven, Welsh, or more correctly, Cymraeg.

[nsxforever]

One of the most powerful bits of music in film history..

[luka2110]

pure beauty

[DjKateyM]

such a amazing piece of music  for a amazing movie !!!

[ETI5100]

DIOS MIO HERMOSA CANCION BELLIZIMA, TE ERIZA LA PIEL SOLO DE ESCUCHARLA

[flwraaa3003]

does anyone know in what language is this song????

[cbmail007]

@flwraaa3003

its an old welch/ celtic song.

[vonkvetch]

Beautiful song. Thank you Law & Order SVU for introducing it to me!

[CHOOCHOOYO]

@vonkvetch you should watch the movie if you like this

[235RB]

@vonkvetch whats episode? i love that show. 

[SugarDDASHX]

@vonkvetch The first time I heard it was when I saw CRASH, and honestly in itself, that was very moving, but hearing it again on Law & Order: SVU forced me to look it up again. It's such a great song...

[amaximenco]

a well chosen soundtrack intended to play with emotions during the dramatic scenes of the movie :)

[SUPPLEANDFIRM]

There so many disgusting melodramatic people on youtube who have to keep everyone else up to date with their hyper sensitivity. "This song... THIS SONG.. Oh it made the move, oh it made tears in my eyes... I BELLOW at every syllable: Oooh, owohoohhhhooooooooohhhh."

[whitespirit26]

This song, especially in the film with the corresponding scenes, can usually leave me shuddering with tears in my eyes.

[will235brn]

It Can Be Heard In On Law & Order: SVU's Episode "Screwed."

I Loved This Song The Fisrt Time I Heard It. Not Just because Of The Exotic Language But The Raw Emotional Responce It gave Me. It Reminded Me That I Was Still Human. I Believe It Also Reflexs The Same In The Movie...No Matter What Bad Things We Hav Done We Still Hav Another Side To Us That Is Sometimes Overlooked.

[MrVijup]

i watched this movie more than 20 times & every time i cant stop my eyes from being wet, this is the best movie i have ever seen, it is so perfect,

[whitespirit26]

@MrVijup Me too!! It is a masterpiece!

[JReed1985]

I love these atmospheric tracks they really make you think deep inside. The film was really good too as it played well when the cop saved the woman from the crash who he had sexually assaulted previously. It played well near the end when each character had his and her last scene.

[whitespirit26]

@JReed1985 Just amazing *shivers*

[JReed1985]

@whitespirit26 of course

[validok]

unul din cele mai bune filme pe care le-am vazut.......si muzica este pe masura.....superb

[MsLeafs13]

at the part when the piano gets louder, I get goosebumps

[cbmail007]

this song alone evoked tears into my jaded eyes

[spulian]

I don't think people realize how rare a sense of touch is these days.

[mirkamatusko]

i did, it was really powerfull film...

[Xscalla]

I did :(

[zkucharc]

One of the best soundtracks ever.

[19GirlBad]

such a powerful film.

[everydaywarriors]

This song reminds me of that life is beautiful and that there is much I will never know.

[Shinzy95]

had echt tranen in me ogen, toen dit voor de wedstrijd tegen vvv werd gedraaid..

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE

[begraafplaats]

@Shinzy95 Hier ook. Kippenvel over mijn hele lichaam.

YNWA

[QBmedia]

Feyenoord Rotterdam for ever!, We dont forget our fallen heroes!!!.

[PrimaveraPictures]

I kinda cried when the little girl jumped in front of the mexican dad... I MEAN I DIDN'T CRY! HAH! MEN DON'T CRY THAT'S HILARIOUS!

[dsmxtuner95ISAFAGGOT]

@PrimaveraPictures

Pussy

[309633246]

@dsmxtuner95ISAFAGGOT Troll

[PrimaveraPictures]

@dsmxtuner95ISAFAGGOT I was joking, you fucking idiot!

[309633246]

@PrimaveraPictures don't feed the troll, he's only begging for attention because his mommy and daddy didn't give him enough...

[PrimaveraPictures]

@dsmxtuner95ISAFAGGOT 309633246 is right. Troll!

[DAYnNIGHTandNOW]

i aint bout lie, i did cry when that girl jumped in front of him........this movie crazy

[MiladyToxic]

this is beautiful...Crash was such a beautiful movie.

[SavageFoxx69]

...just beautiful...no matter the emotion...sad, livid, joy, or placid...its the beautiful thing of actually "feeling" something...

[iamrichwithoutmoney]

To me there is nothing more beautiful than sharing a moment with songs like this one

[89Obscure]

8 people have no f#cking ears.

Best song and best movie ever. Period.

[emersonkirby]

unreal



[GreenQueen20217]

@emersonkirby It's more realistic than anything any one person has ever experienced.

[islamacros]

i highly recommend this movie, one of the best movies i've ever seen in my life, it makes you think, reflect, comprehend many things, it makes you see that people (we) need each other, however they (we) hurt each other, that we are connected to each other all the time without realizing

[rgz1985]

Is this the full version?

[GreenQueen20217]

@rgz1985 Read the discription.

[Jlinkburritomaster]

the amplify of this song is making us fall down with tears n bubbles!Whoever singing this song,is moving along the violence,crashes,murders,or whatever scenic discovery we face as a ultimate battle!It doesn't matter,we are all family in many ways,remember that!

[Mhairi5662]

Asbolutey stunning song :-)

[idontcare769]

Every time I hear this song I can't help but become overwhelmed with so much emotion. I ALWAYS cry. It makes me think of so much I have buried in myself. I can't explain it. But this song is blessing.

[edgein10]

@idontcare769 It makes me cry inside. Most of my tears won't come out anymore. I swallow my emotions but this song does make me realize how much I have buried also. You don't need to explain......i feel the same.

[MissKlaraBabii]

when the cop saves the woman from the crash...OMG OMG i loveee that part and the little girl getting shot, but her "cloak" saves her.... This movie is classic. ITS AN EPIC. words can't express how much i love this movie

[FlyingGold]

why is she lisping?

[Bandit7tgirl]

@FlyingGold Yeah I never noticed that until I listened to it on here...still wonderful music =D

[keef920]

@FlyingGold she's singing in welsh

[lcorbishley]

what an amazing film, and soundtrack, so touching

[Bandit7tgirl]

Man I cried when the little girl ran in front of her dad, when the officer was trying to get Thandie from the burning car, when the other officer thought he was all bad and shot Cheadle's brother, and ESPECIALLY when Cheadle's mom blamed his death on Cheadle. Uh! that scene ALWAYS got me! And this beautiful song...wonderful.

[TheBluesunshine123]

@Bandit7tgirl I thought I was the only person who cried when the young officer shot Cheadles brother... I cried just at the same scenes as you did.

[JLINKtv]

8 people got lost in the asylum whoever disliked this!

[TheRaGiTe]

The music almost made this movie really. It brought out all the emotion and the intensity of the scenes

[3tangle3]

@TheRaGiTe the tune is actually Lisa lan a welsh folk tune...they just renamed it english

[Davccelion]

Sublime

[ButtHaver1993]

it was so moving when the cop saved her, we all thought he'd leave her but he didn't, and her face when she turned round on the way to the ambulance... thandie newton is an incredible actress!

and i don't care what people say, this deserved the oscar WAY more than brokeback mountain.

[whitespirit26]

@ButtHaver1993 SO true! Oh God, what a scene. He wanted so badly to save her :')

[Huzzle2]

@ButtHaver1993 It idd, it won best picture, THis was a great film, far better than a couple of queer cowboys bumbing each other in the mountains.
