  • Finally I found this song!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 3.) It wasn't smart to crawl in this case too, ofcourse.. the closer to the ground, the better you can breath, but in a house where you need to walk 10 steps to get to the front door by walking there & holding your breath for 8 seconds it's just stupid to start crawling for 3 minutes.

    4.) If you say this is all obvious afterwards you still need to learn a lot.. ofcourse u wont be able to think clear during a fire but there's a difference between clear thinking and common sense.

  • The scene is nice, but didn't really make sense tbh :>

    1.) If you wake up in your bedroom (in a 1 floor house) and you see that the living room is on fire, it's most obvious you get out trough the window in the bedroom?

    2.) And even if opening the window would cause a backdraft.. it would be smaller than the backdraft you would get by opening the door in the living room that was on fire.

  • One of the most darkest episodes in criminal minds imo

  • i started to cry...

  • what the name of the song

  • @adartzt Read the title of the video...

  • Comment removed

  • I love the lyrics to this song ;D

  • OMG I love this song it touch my heart

  • The song goes so well with the scene!

  • Fugees "Ready or Not"

  • Does anyone know if there was a rapper or singer of some sort that used this song.

  • anyone know where I can get this emphazised version?

  • @rodenrren2 i can send it to you, just give me an email youcan use and ill send you the file as an attachment :)

  • Lol adding to "The Window" theory, if you actually watch the episode, youll be informed by Derek, if i remembered correctly, that "The UnSub" set it up so the family could only use the front door, which was wedged closed anyway.

    Damn i should be in the BAU :P

  • just watched this episode again on tv... the scene is as sad as haley's death scene t.t thanks for the video!! it's great! 

  • happy x-mas every 1. from ireland. sad song.

  • This is an amazing video. The song adds to the sadness of it and the video was made for the music

  • For those who keep asking: "WHY DIDN'T THEY GO THROUGH THE WINDOW ?", here's a tip:

    Ask a friend to set your house on fire while you're asleep, wake up (if you can), think (if you can anymore) and act (that becomes a little bit harder, huh ?!)...

    Now, tell me how much of you passed through the window ?...

    OTHER DUMB QUESTIONS ??...

  • @diboan You forgot to add there's a chance for backdraft(explosion) if they rapidly broke a window.

  • The most intense scene . . . EVER .

  • Best picked musical selection in the entire series hands down

  • It is scary to see something so perfect play when something so sad is going on.

    Yea criminal minds fan myself and this opening was really one of those that got you caught.

    Enya is making this opening perfect in every aspect.

  • @Hoogica agreed!!

  • It was Obama's fault. =p

  • I cry to this video nearly every time, such a beautiful song and sad video

  • i fuking love enya and this scene is epic

  • I agree. This is a powerful scene

  • As soon as i saw this episode i searched up what song this was, I was addicted. Not to mention that this is one of the most impacting opening to any Criminal Minds episode. Anyone else just feel this sense of huge loss to see this family die to this music? ;/

  • @itssosarahh yep.... very moving

  • the murderin bastard

  • porter69er u are a party pooper I love this song and criminal minds and agree that this is one of thier best starters for an episode now listening to song for 15th time lolz!

  • i loved and hated this episode if u get me thanks for adding it

    x

  • Sorry but this is just awful. I did a 3 month course on fires in buildings, it had a specific name can't remember, but that house is what 2 bedroom, 2 receptions, bathroom and kitchen. It's one floor. As if they have just traveled literally 20 feet, some of which wernt in flames, there was no smoke in the bedroom. They would not collapse from that. Sorry, wouldn't happen.

  • So dumb, just let them die. :)

  • because fire = panic and smoke inhalinition causes cunfusion. to the person who asked y not break a window.

  • The one who dislikes it is the arsonist I think :D

  • That episode was genious! (:

    BTW. The woman is so strong!

  • That episode was genious! (:

  • OHHHHHH thanks i searched long to foud the name !!!!! you are my hero of the day !!!! :*

  • My parents watch this show and I was drawn to the tv to watch when i heard this song. And then right after I got on youtube to see if I could find it lol. Its so beautiful and sad at the same time. Perfect match to this scene.

  • Comment removed

  • I've been looking for this song forever.

  • wow.....made me cry.

    

  • Does Anybody know What This Instramental Is Called

  • @ReggieTooSick Enya - "Boadicea

  • It's kinda like Apollo 7 like with the fire and the door not being able to open SAD TIMES

  • Love it best criminal minds opening sad tho

  • This song kinda reminded me of fire starter, what was weird was when I looked this song up the last known media before this that used it in their sound track was sleep walkers. Both are stephen King masterpieces.

  • Matches eachother quiete good !

  • I'm not a fan of this show at all. I just wanted to hear this song. But I must say, the music and opening sequence are meant for each other!! The music gives power to the scene and the other way around as well! Props to the writers!

  • they slowed the song down a noticeable bit. odd. but i do agree this is perfect for the scene. :)

  • In this seen the family being burned alive because the father is a leader cutting environmental costs in a companies business to save money for the sake of big business greed. Good thing hes to stupid to jump out a fking second story window.

  • thank you so much for uploading

  • @sheldon0bazinga

    Yeah they both do!

  • I saw this episode too, while watching it, you get sooo angry with the man who started the fire!

    at least, I get );

    loser

  • What an epic start to a Criminal Minds episode...and the music really does convey the futility of their attempt to escape

  • What an epic start to a Criminal Minds episode...and the music really does convey the futility of their attempt to escape

  • this show has taken my attitude towards trusting others and warped it; and I couldn't be happier. 

  • This episode is amazing. The intro. Acting and then Thomas gibsons acting was off the charts as usual but in this case he shows emotion!!!

  • @CriminalMindz18

    And so does Emily Prentiss when Hotch tells the woman that her husband and child are still alive. She almost cries, I don't think there's another episode in which she shows so much emotion.

  • Thanks to Criminal Minds I discovered this beautiful song. God I love that show!

  • saw the episode two weeks ago and loved the song!! cool video!

  • Thank you so much. Once i saw this I had to know what the song was.

  • I genuinely think this is the best opening music/visuals I've seen in any program.....Is this the original version of the song?. It Sounds different

  • the first thing that comes to mind.. is to get out using the door, because u wouldn't expect it to be blocked. By the time they reached the door, they would already be losing oxygen and wouldn't be able to get to the window.

  • The bomber arsonist is a douchebag

  • in my opinion the best intro of a crime episode EVER

  • the banshee in irish does not set fire. as a child we were told she fires a comb to kill.  representing a death to follow for the person in the house.and sounds like a fox.

    i still believe.

  • I heard this song in the early nineties , it was used in the movie sleep walkers by Stephen King way before that rap song used part of it. Thought it was pretty haunting to hear it on C.S.I

  • Why didn't they just go threw the window?!? And why did that guy do that?!? :0

  • @FlyleafDamonElenaxox Watch the episode and you'll have the answer...

  • @diboan plz tell me! i live in sweden and we never had criminal minds on TV :(

  • @jackyblacky1 What do you want me to tell you ?...

  • @jackyblacky1 you have internet. you have youtube. problem solved!

  • @jackyblacky1 one of the cops , trys too redo the stuff , that the guy did, who put the fire , and he lit the windows on fire too ;)

  • @FlyleafDamonElenaxox breaking a window lets more air into the house which feeds the fire and may cause an explosion

  • @misssarcastic78 So does opening the door...

  • @misssarcastic78 It wouldn't cause an explosion in a house... Many people are able to get out due to breaking opened windows while a building is on fire.

  • @FlyleafDamonElenaxox the window was locked, you can see that if you watch the whol episode

  • @FlyleafDamonElenaxox he bolted them all shut just like he bolted the door shut with nails

  • @FlyleafDamonElenaxox I also thought so. The guy did it because he is a paranoid and feels it as an emotional liberation or a sexual satisfaction.

  • @FlyleafDamonElenaxox think about it where do you go first when theres a fire in teh house? the door right? well the door was wedged so they couldent get out and then when they wernt able to breath it was too late for them to get to the door.

  • the sad thing is is that this actualy happen and people actual do this......and for what joy....makes me sick

  • This is soo sad! But one thing came to my mind while watching this; why the heck did they not go through the window!? I mean, there must have been SOME windows in one of the bedrooms or something....

    Anyway love the song. And I really do agree, this is one of the best opening scenes(:

  • what an opening. this song with that show, absolute perfection. thank you diboan.

  • @MRBISHIGSR It astonished me when I watched this opening. I wanted at once to share it because I was pretty sure I wasn't the only one... i was clearly right !...

  • Recently I just began on being introduced on this television series, Criminal Minds. I only watched a few episodes, but Ashes and Dust was my favorite due to the intro's song. It was haunting and yet alluring as the house fell down in flames. I want to this song being played at my funeral. :)

  • @ParamoreKid10 it's actually The Fugees -Ready or Not. It's really a great song.

  • Oh god, I remember... This is so perfect, so, so, so, so... God. I think this is the most complete and awesome show in the world...

  • I'm watching this right now and when I heard the song I swear I heard the melody before. I think one of Diddy's artist used it a while back. The opening scene was possibly the best from the show and that's saying something. I had to find this song. So glad that I did!

  • This scene ripped my heart out when I watched this episode. I'm a firefighter and I NEVER want this to happen!

  • This song is scary but I love it!

  • Now I want to see this epi... The look on the face of the man who set the fire is truely terrifying! He actually watched her die!

  • this song sends chills down my spine

  • i just saw the beginning of this episode bcuz its on now and i thought it was amazing. the best ive ever seen, and the sing helped. LOVED IT

  • Does anyone here know the name of the ending song for this episode? It is driving me crazy that I can't figure it out =(

  • @ladiesden76 I found it WOW...in case anyone else is curious it is..."Grey Room" Damien Rice

  • Great song and good episode, only problem I have with it is did the adult's bedroom have no windows to go out of? Haha, just something I thought of

  • Scoring this scene with this song was a stroke of brilliance. The juxtaposition between the music and the scene is great, it gives me goosebumps every time.

  • Sounds like they slowed down the song.

  • In my opinion this guy was one of the most worst sociopaths the show had. He scared me thats for sure.

  • Whenever I hear this song on my iPod this scene always pops into my head. . .very eerie. I love it though

  • I seen these song used one time in a video that had Witch Burnings in it and the women were Screaming

  • Best opening on Criminal Minds, ever!

  • One of my favorite episodes. The following scene at the hospital broke my heart though. Thanks for posting this. All the other posters are dead on about the song being a perfect choice for the scene. It really brought home the feeling of loss.

  • @saprater25 The scene at the hospital broke my heart too, it was almost unbearably sad.. the song is spot on.

  • I love the song its just the scene is so sad :'(

  • you did a great job. i love this song!!

  • What is the episode's name?

  • @mocsokdzsin  "Ashes and Dust" (S2E19)

  • Comment removed

  • thx

  • Comment removed

  • wow really good. I have heard the song before, but from everyone's descriptions the show captured the meaning of it perfectly. In fact they did such a good job I actually wish I could watch the episode now

  • this is super creepy for me, because i live in south san francisco :O

    i was watching it at home alone and it scared the living daylights out of me.

  • This is the perfect song to be at the end of a movie where a person sacrifices themselves or something. Its dark yet calming!

  • thats some haunting shit

  • If u stop this at 3:47, u can see the face of the boy in the pic...isn't this the same child actor that played the role of the father's son (the dad who had leukemia)?? At the end of the episode, Hotch gives the boy a letter from his father. I swear this is the SAME kid.

  • this Song is 18 Years old - Enya - Boadicea , original played in Stephen Kings - Sleepwalkers ;)

  • the scene is realy good!!!

  • This entire beginning to the episode made me cry... the episode in and of itself was heart touching..

  • one of the best openings to criminal minds :) but i think its sick to burn to death :s

  • i watched this episode last week! the song went perfect with the opening in this episode. although, now whenever i hear the song, i start thinking about people burning to death...it's scary. anyways...good video. good idea to show the whole opening and have the whole song play through it all...very good...good job :)

  • Thank you ! ;-)

  • @xHOTxCHOCOxFUDGEx o? well work on your spelling then dumbass

  • I didn't even spell anything wrong. .-.

  • still piking on ppls when u cant get it right urself? really? hyppocrit

  • @beckie5001 im not a fucking hyppocrit stupid!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont pick on ppl!!!! im not a bully like u ppl!!!!

  • im not picking on u. youre jsut akeing offence. not my problem.

  • @xHOTxCHOCOxFUDGEx same here, powerful powerful sickening scene...great show...although if u watch 5 episodes in a row its too much to handle

  • @xHOTxCHOCOxFUDGEx i very much agree with what you said. even the part about hearning this song the 1st thing i think of is ppl burning.shivers.

  • what is the name of the song?

  • "Boadicea"...

  • yeah i feel like an idiot. i saw the name right after i wrote that.

  • this scene made me really upset the first time i watched it. its probably my favorite scene from any episode

  • Boadicea, queen of the ancient Celts, burnt Roman settlements to the ground, killing thousands. So it actually fits.

  • @lyta1138 kool

  • This episode was on again last night, I had forgotten how powerful the opening scene was, especially with the music. Criminal MInds is awesome.

  • @WestOCHD2006 i totaly agree with you!

  • This is one of the saddest, most heart-wrenching scenes on television, and the most powerful of this entire series.

  • MY FAVORITE SCENE IN CRIMINAL MINDS :D

  • But what is the relation between a Celtic Queen of the Iceni and the tv series?

  • Why the hell didnt they just go out the window in the parents bedroom?!!!! Come on!! Are they the worlds dumbest parents or what?!

  • @lightyears1981 Maybe you should just watch the actual episode before you criticize. His fires have multiple origin points, those origin points being every possible exit to the house, except the front door, which he nails or locks shut so that he can watch them die.

    Have you ever fought a fire before? I've fought many while I was in the Navy. You can't just walk through a blazing inferno to get to an exit like a window (which he'd nailed shut anyways). They were dead no matter what.

  • this is a sad song..this episode is very sad

  • This is such a beautiful song and i love it so much, but I mean seriously, why did they take all that effort to get to the front door when they could've just gone out a window, i mean the house is one floor!

  • @PeopleAreFunny99 its nailed if u have seen the full epesode duh he locks them in there and wached them sufficate and burn

  • @beckie5001 even then they could have wlked out the window in the fathers room

  • @AircraftPhotography1 not even! he was a sociopathic man whom baseicly traped them in there and wached them DIE

  • @beckie5001 but how did he get into the fathers room without waking him up?

  • he ddnt og through the fauthers room stupid maby if u wached the whole show you would knw? hmmm think about it

  • @beckie5001 thts wat im trying to fucking say u dumbfuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • piss off jackass

  • @beckie5001 no u piss off and stoping being a smartass all i was trying to fucking do was saying sumthin and u were being a fucking smartass u fucking cracker!!!!!!!!!

  • dude i like being a smartass thats my forte and nothing you can say will stop me nadi bet ur wight too so dont be callen me a cracker! XP

  • and yes im wight, thank you for telling me what i already know. and ur probly wight too...

  • thats not verry nice...u asshole

  • @AircraftPhotography1 he didnt have to. before luring the father outside he could have nailed the windows shut in both bedrooms from outside. effectively trapping them. a freak like this guy wouldnt start a fire blocking all paths but the front door and be stupid enough to leave the windows in the bedrooms as an option. they may not have tried them, but i bet they would have been locked just as the door was.

  • @PeopleAreFunny99 same response I gave the other guy: His fires have multiple origin points, those origin points being every possible exit to the house, except the front door, which he nails or locks shut so that he can watch them die.

    Have you ever fought a fire before? I've fought many while I was in the Navy. You can't just walk through a blazing inferno to get to an exit like a window (which he'd nailed shut). They were dead no matter what.

  • i watched this episode lats night! i loved the opening so much! best one yet!

  • this opening scence with that music was incredible....the song fits perfectly

  • This song is just too good for this..it should remain in film "sleepwalkers" was ok but it should have been in a Lynch film or something worth its weight.thx

  • This song is great.

    And that episode was lovely.

  • I first saw this episode last night. The song is so amazing, as I would expect as it is by Enya. It is such a powerful song, you can feel the fear of the family as they try to escape their doom. The peacefulness of the song contrasts the frantic effort to escape the fire.

  • This is the most touching opening scene for Criminal Minds, ever. I loe the song, it makes me think about sad things.

  • That was sad..

  • I find this scene scary i have nichtmares about it! :S

    But the music is so beautyfull (ll)

    We have to sing is for school, and so the hole time; HMMMMMMMMM

    XD

  • btw, this reminds me of Final Fantasy VII, which I may have said, I didn't read my other ciomments-but when ABCkorpi mentioned that--I suddenly thought of the part in Crisis Core when Sephiroth burns Nibelheim, then just walks away thru the fire...hair swaying, regretful, hateful thoughts going through his 1st class mind..

  • True! Also a very cool scene.

  • ...whoa...I just listened to a few seconds of this song, and then all of a sudden, it played on Criminal Minds on TV right now!! Thats so---odd...yeah, so as I said

    (2 wks ago), about this song, and Sephiroth..open another tab, or page, and go to Youtube..type in:..idk..Sephiroth burning Nibelheim (C.C. version) with it muted, or very silent, then play this song in backround..
