  • HI, what the fuck means cellar door IN GERMAN ? .. thanx

    Best film ever, it could made by GOD

  • @WhereIsTheAcTioN cellar means "keller"

    door is "tür"

  • @Fishyboy632000000

    cool danke =)

  • This song is absolutely beautiful.....i dont see why everyone on itunes rages that Mad World is album only. Its a good song yes...but the entire soundtracks amazing.

  • The most beautiful words in the english language

  • I wish this was looped. Beautiful meditation music.

  • esse filme tem uma trilha sonora du karalhoo!!!

  • how dare you have a wrong opinion.....shame on you free thinkers, get inline!

  • sonoridade delirante.

  • I'm trying to listen to this movies awesome soundtrack but my brother is playing Halo and won't stfu...

  • listen to this in a dark room on your own at 4 in the morning.

  • 4 people need to chut up

  • This song is so hauntingly perfect...

  • Cellar door...

  • I fucking love this movie.

  • The donnie darko soundtrack is easily one of my top three ever.. this one peice is so short yet so provocative, so emotional. especially at 0:14 it's like something terrible has just happened at yet somehow that same thing is too beautiful for words..

  • We all die alone.

  • 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds, that is when the world is going to end.

  • this song gives me the fucking chills ........ espically because iam watching this in 3 in the morning

    

  • this song is so beautyfull, it made me chut up....

  • This 1-minute song is like an inch of Gold.

  • To everybody who loved the movie, you absolutely MUST check out the official film website. It is seriously a whole other experience in its own, and it explains a lot of backstory and tells us what happens to many of the secondary characters after the film ends. Check it out.

  • Just gotta post to make a replay button for myself. Aha. T^T 0:00

  • you can listen to this soundtrack at hour 1:39 of the movie. There's somthing special with this melody...

  • It's so irritating when the video of a beautiful song is spoiled by idiotic arguments beneath it in the comments.

  • m e l a n c o l i c 

  • Love this movie and score. <3

  • This song has reminded me once again why Donnie Darko is the best film of all time. This movie helped me to through a pretty difficult year in my life, and it helped me to appreciate life for how precious it is. I will forever be indebted to Richard Kelly and his awe-inspiring directorial skills. Wonderful film indeed.

  • amazing movie!!

  • beautiful song though it would've been a lot darker and more rich story line had Tim Burton had directed the movie

  • @keiji9002 If you truly believe that, you misunderstood the film in its entirety.

  • @keiji9002 wow. just so you know. this movie could not have been made any better ever. but maybe you missed the clue and were startled by the packeging.

  • @keiji9002 Please no!.

  • This film changed my life.

  • so pretty...

  • The ambient sounds in this movie reverberate in your soul.

  • love this ominous score, Donnie Darko is a damn masterpiece.

  • Chilling.

  • A beautiful score to a beautiful phrase

  • I could fall asleep to this.

  • Man, one of The Mountain Ggoat's songs has a line going "And the cellar door, is a lonesome road". After being intrigued by the line i decided to look for the origins of the phrase. I stumbled upon this song, then onto other DD stuff. It's now my favourite movie and has completely changed my life. It helped me come to terms with myself(schizo here) and made me a happy person. I can happily say Donnie Darko stopped me from killing myself.

  • @DoctorZzo your story made me smile

  • @DoctorZzo you should listen to some Terence McKenna, search 'Schizophrenic or Shamanic'.

  • @DoctorZzo i see you have commitment to sparkle motion =) but on a serious note, donnie darko is a very great movie and im glad you didnt kill your self.

  • @DoctorZzo I have lost a friend once... he did not see this movie

  • @DoctorZzo same here :)

  • @DoctorZzo oh man im so happy to know that this movie touched other people like it did with me, this is really my favourite movie of all time too.

  • @DoctorZzo haahahaha...go back to china bitch!

  • @DoctorZzo

    just saying:

    that song by The Mountain Goats,

    it says 'The cellar door is an open throat'

  • @TheLinkinpark50210 lol, this is true

  • @DoctorZzo Get stuffed.

  • @DoctorZzo its actually not about the word cellar door tho. cellar door is a beatyful word but the deeper meaning comes from celador.. wich is spanish for : guardian or someone who watches over.... look it up if you want to. cellar door is just an english word using the same sounds/phrase so to speak... its not about the door to the cellar. its a beautiful phrase none the less. stuff like this is more noticable if you grow up with differnt languages...

  • @diviz0r no i think you're wrong. in the film it was very specifically cellar door. now, it may not be that way on google or in real life, but the film put emphasis on it being those exact two words.

  • @EmilyStation1994 im not tho. its the pernouciation (sorry if my enligh sucks im dutch) she doesnt actually say why its so important or does she? What do you think the reason is it was in the video? and dont say you dont know and you just want me to be wrong :P cuz i put some real time in it. you could check Wiki for a short explanation: commonly used as an example of a word or phrase which is beautiful in terms of phonaesthetics (sound) with no regard for semantics (meaning). read the rest :)

  • @EmilyStation1994 theres even a part on wiki saying that a "courtly Spaniard" (spanish) said that even the english (hard/loud/clear) language has beautiful soft words like "cellar door" wich is pernounced the same as the spanish word "celador" and what does celador mean? guardian/someone who watches over. now what was donnie in the video? the guardian. he chose to die when he had the second chance so the love of his life wouldnt die(and the fire etc wouldnt happen) he died in peace knowing that.

  • @diviz0r Humm. No i don't think you're right. In one part of the film Donnie goes through the Cellar door of grandma death's house. There's obvious significance to this moment as he notes; "cellar door", as though that particular moment was poignant in some way - and it was, it's how he meets and kills Frank.

    It's also written on the board by the teacher "cellar door". I'm sure the word was meant to be as it was written.

  • @EmilyStation1994 lmao. ok think what you want. yea the whole plot of the movie is about an actual dore. not about symbolism of him being a savior. (wtf?!)

    i thought simple people like you atleast trust wiki (who agrees with me if you would have actually taken the time to check it out or had done some actual thinking. try any other word on wiki and see how little is said about its deeper meaning) Yea, im wrong.... if you say so. and edgar allan poe probably doesnt even ring a bell for you...

  • @diviz0r I'm pretty sure you're the simpler person in this debate; after all, you're the one getting riled about a difference of opinion on the origins of a phrase. Learn to accept that people have different views to you.

  • @EmilyStation1994 yea and santa clause is real lmao. its not about views. its about facts. what kind of director would make a movie about a dore? i hope you do accept other peoples explanations when its about actual important stuff. cuz you seem really nice.

  • @diviz0r Yeah we aren't talking about mythical men here. We're talking about how a phrase was designed to be used in a well known film; different people interpret it differently. The director did not make a film about the door, "cellar door" was just a part of the film but the semantics of the phrase did matter - because, as mentioned earlier, a cellar door proved to be a major connecting piece to the murder of Frank the rabbit.

    It's designed to be phonetically mysterious, beautiful, ominous.

  • @diviz0r But it's meaning was intended as a literal, cellar door.

  • @EmilyStation1994

    and also, maybe something more . . as you said, "designed to be phonetically mysterious, beautiful and ominous."

    But I suppose you can never really know for sure . . that is, if there is anything truly special about it, or anything for that matter

  • @DoctorZzo That is so cool, glad for you :)

  • @FrazzleAndTheWolf edgar allan poes (a famouse writer) favorite frase was nevermore. and why? not because of the meaning never no more but because of its resambence to "cellar dore" a word wich is facinating just to say or hear unconciously no mather what it means.. and in the movie it fit even better cuz of donnie and its spanish meaning. hihi actually i was so happy once i finaly knew all this cuz it was so in your face in the movie and i just never got it.... hope you feel the same :)

  • Comment removed

  • why would a dore be lonesome? celadors (guardians) live on a lonesome road tho. cuz no1 knows what they have done to help. in the end no1 in the movie other than donnie knows about franks death, the pedophile, grechens death and all that stuff. he rather chose to leave himself and let the rest be and not be of influence in their life. he saved all of them. and they dont even know it. gretchen doesnt even know about him other then the kid that died in a freak accident. poor lonesome donnie...

  • @DoctorZzo I can also happily say Donnie Darko helped me come to terms with myself, made me a happy person, and stopped me from killing myself.

  • @DoctorZzo Sorry to tell you but that line is "And the cellar door, is an open throat" its a metaphor because the couple in the song are raging alcoholics.

  • @DoctorZzo Im glad it did man. All the best.

  • @DoctorZzo actually, the line is, "the cellar door is an open throat" because the house is a metaphor for their relationship, and so on and so forth

  • @DoctorZzo stay strong honey,we are all crazy it just depends if we can hide it well, enjoy life what you can and try to spread love xx

  • @DoctorZzo you're 100% not a schizo surely if one weird but still mainstream film changed your life. just sounds like bullshit. what next did inception help you see god or something lol.

  • @TheStfu1000

    Cunt.

  • @123CloudStrife not really no so anything else?

  • @DoctorZzo people who have real problems aren't even aware of their own happiness ie whether they're happy or not. it's not even in the picture. another reason why your comment is a bit BS. who said you're a schizo? what does that even mean exactly?

  • @DoctorZzo people who have real problems aren't even aware of their own happiness ie whether they're happy or not. it's not even in the picture. another reason why your comment is a bit BS. who said you're a schizo? what does that even mean exactly?

  • @TheStfu1000 Schizo is a slang term for somebody who has schizophrenia. As in, Donnie Darko.

  • @ColorRobo lol dude i know schizo is short for schizophrenia. i meant how do you even define that disorder.

  • @TheStfu1000 Also called dementia praecox. a severe mental disorder characterized by some, but not necessarily all, of the following features: emotional blunting, intellectual deterioration, social isolation, disorganized speech and behavior, delusions, and hallucinations.

  • @ColorRobo social isolation is not a mental disorder in the slightest. i could easily say that mindless person who loves 'banter' is mentally ill. hallucinations is obviously a physical illness involved with the brain ie a tangible mental illness. intellectual deterioration as defined by who? we dont really know exactly what intelligence is yet and believe most people are fucking stupid so do you mean to the level of retardation? emotional blunting - meh. bad speech yes that counts i guess.

  • @TheStfu1000 You have no education in psychology, no idea what you're talking about, and are probably between the ages of 12 and 17. Please please please don't embarrass yourself any more by trying to argue against an entire field of research you know nothing about.

    As to your argument, of course social isolation isn't a disorder, it's a symptom of a disorder, in the same way that a cough is not an illness, just a symptom of one.

  • @CaptainBrawnson you're embarrased by my comment because you're probably someone who studies psychology aged 18+. would you say that arguing against creationism is stupid because after all theres a whole lot of people that believe it. anyway do you mean social isolation can be a sign of an actual disorder or do you mean there is a disorder which is essentially social isolation? would you consider aspergers syndrome a 'mental illness'?

  • @CaptainBrawnson THANK YOU, someone sane. Psychology is fascinating, but it's so irritating when people argue their opinions which are wrong. Thanks for putting everyone straight.

    peace<3

  • @CaptainBrawnson I started studying philosophy at the age of 8. Behind my parents backs I found my own beliefs and read all of the great philosophers by age 12. I am currently better read than any of my professors in college and I am only 18.

  • @DoctorZzo Exactly the same story as you :)

  • But here's my question: Can th butterfly effect work in reverse? If you traveled into the future, by going faster than light, you would be shunned into darkness. No doubt, Because light hasn't been there yet, However, i you were there long enough before the light/present caught up, to create a ripple, Say five years, I traveled five years in the future, and screamed; in five years time, when the present caught up, would you hear that scream? Because it happened. Can you etch the future?

  • @andrewdrury1 Very interesting question, i love thinking about things like that, it amazes me tbh

  • @andrewdrury1 But you forgot that no matter how fast you go, even if you go faster than light, light seems to always be going the same speed. It doesn't work like two things running at a constant speed. If there were two people, looking at how fast light was moving, with one person moving in its direction, the moving person would have the light surpass it, no matter how fast he/she was going. And since that's how you went to the future, the future would have light. (Correct me

  • @what1000144 Oh I'm sure I'm the one who's got it wrong. You're the second person who's made that point to me, lol. But I'm still having trouble grasping it. So, what you're saying is that light is not surpassable because it's everywhere?, All I know is, that something will happen if you go faster than light, either you won't exist for a short amount of time, or you will be in a state of darkness for a short amount of time. See i dont know if you would actually go into the future, or if you will

  • @what1000144 remain in the present, but in an altered existence. I'm confused haha. I feel like I have it all wrong judging by you and my friend who made the same point. You see I had come to the conclusion (more by thinking than research) that you would be thrown into a black abyss if you surpassed the speed of light, and that abyss would be ther future. Because the light only lives in the present. but if you go faster than light, you're going away from the present and further ahead. (future).

  • @what1000144 because the future doesn't exist. There is no light in the future. Idk I'm just rambling my thoughts. Sorry for the length. lol I really need to talk to a professor.

  • @andrewdrury1 But you forgot that no matter how fast you go, even if you go faster than light, light seems to always be going the same speed. It doesn't work like two things running at a constant speed. If there were two people, looking at how fast light was moving, with one person moving in its direction, the moving person would have the light surpass it, no matter how fast he/she was going. So, let there be light. (Correct me if I'm wrong somewhere)

  • @what1000144 Idk I feel like if you take the concept of sound and think, IF I were to shoot you in the head, the bullet(which is going faster than sound) would kill you before you heard the shot. Now take that and think about light. If you were to be the bullet in the equation, you would not see the light. just like the bullet will never hear the sound. Hence my theory of the abyss of darkness. light lives in the present, And if one passes light, one passes present. Or, they cease to exist becau

  • Everyone knows about the butterfly effect I take it? Well, We know that one small ripple in what you percieve to be the present, will ultimately have effect on the time that has yet to come, through a series of chain linked events. But, My question is, Supposing you're thinking about tme travel, and the toll that the butterfly effect has if you were to go back in time and create a small ripple, It would change the course of the past, to create a new future/present. no more room See other commen

  • i'm just closing my eyes and feeling everything...what's everything? nothing...only a word

  • love this.

  • This will always be, in the back of my head, my favourite movie ever.

  • Best movie ever created, and Frank will always scare me, but always be there to comfort me as well. :)

  • Comment removed

  • I just saw this movie. I still barely understand it. But I'm still mad at that gym teacher. She was like the epitome of everyone I have ever hated.

    Sellll-aer-dore.

    It does sound pretty.

  • Edgar Allen Poe, J.R.R. Tolkien, and dozens of other poets, linguists, and writers felt that "cellar door" was the most beautiful sounding word or phrase in English. This has, of course, nothing to do with its spelling or meaning. People who learn English but have not grown up hearing it frequently remark that "cellar door" sounds very beautiful.

  • Cellar door being the most beautiful words in the english language? can someone please explaine that?

  • Such a powerful song

  • This famous linguist once said that of all the phrases in the English language, of all the endless combinations of words in all of history, that Cellar Door is the most beautiful. -Karen Pommeroy

  • Cellar Door- now that I think of it, it is a beautiful phrase

  • c'est l'adore = it is love. ;) So it's a clever pun. Beautiful score, world class 10/10 movie! 

  • Cellar Door, in another language means "Beautiful". I think it's italian or something but it I pronounce it "Cela Dor", which isn't the correct spelling but it's the pronounciation.

  • In another language, Cellar Door, actually means "Beautiful".

    Just not spelled that way, and it is pronounced slightly different.

  • wow

  • One of the most best movies I've seen and accompanied by one of the best soundtracks I've listened to.

  • After 3 years of having watched this movie, I still don't fully understand it. And I love it.

  • Around 22 seconds in, when the voices changes direction (or whatever you call it in musical terms) I get such a feeling of love and peace, it's beautiful what music can do.

  • @DynamicScherzo I have always thought the same. And that's just pitch. The pitch changes.

  • these music reminds me of the one from silent hill

  • @silentgurl23 sure does!

  • That bunny face is creeping me out...

  • @Tsubakiification it's what put me off seeing it when my friend first recommended the film (it was on the cover of the dvd) when i was like 9 - wish i hadn't been such a scaredy cat at the time :P

  • I promise that one day things will get better for you.

    Chut up!

  • @DC70W fine screw you too fatty lmao

  • @DC70W that part was sad for me. i think she didn't have any friends.

  • when I go back to school ima greet and respect all the ugly but yet nice girls

  • This song is very smooth and orgasmic in a way the only thing is it lacks time but if it was longer it would get repetitive and boring so it has it's reasons for being short

  • The only bad thing about this is that it isn't long enough.

  • Just learned by ear how to play this on the piano!! :D

  • I love when he's walking up to Cherita. Its so sweet.

  • I recall reading somewhere that someone thought "windowsill" was the most beautiful word in the English language.

    Kinda funny how both are, ahem (gosh this sounds corny now), portals between the home and the outside world.

  • The soundtrack really captures that eerie feeling something looming just out of view. That something big is going to happen really soon. Kudos to Michael Andrews.

  • beautiful music i love donnie darko

  • watch the movie, spine chilling results, best movie ever in my opinion.

  • @bugabugaman it changed my life foever.

  • Comment removed

  • Is a search for god absurd?

  • one of the most beautiful songs from the soundtrack, my favourite is, however, still Gretchen Ross

  • I wish I had The Philosophy of Time Travel.

  • "I promise everything will one day be better for you"

    "Chudup!" and she runs nd drops her books......I love this movie!! :)

  • Cellar Door....Ain't it a beautiful word?

  • beautiful song

    i love donnie darko

  • i wish this song was longer :( love it though!

  • how could anybody here tell anyone somethng about perfection?

  • Comment removed

  • please don't

  • why not

  • @MRBOBBYJAMES25

    Though I highly disapprove of what you want to do with this, you might want to check out the program Audacity.

    It'll do what you want to do with this.

  • Why do you disapprove?

  • @MRBOBBYJAMES25

    Because it's very easily the best soundtrack ever made, and I don't think anyone should redo it because I don't think that ANYONE has enough skill to give any song on this soundtrack the justice it deserves.

  • it is a great soundtrack its a part of what made the movie so great...but ill give it my best if it aint good enough i wont show it on here or anywhere..can u loop the best for me? make it longer?

  • Hmm, well I don't have Audacity anymore. But it's a free program online, and I'm sure you could do it. But I'll see what I can do if you really want me to, but I'm not making any promises.

  • ok i hope u try cuzi dont know how to do that

  • I'm pretty much done making it, I wasn't going to put a drum beat in it to make it easier to rap to, but if you want that done you'll have to do it yourself.

    So I'll put it up in a few minutes, you'll have to pm me so I can send you the link.

  • it's perfect the way it is and people don't want you to change it.

  • Frank, what a guy!

  • hah so this is the song,

    Mozart Season ( a Post=Hardcore band) made a song using this Piano and the movie:)

    its called, Cellar Doors, Donnie!

    great song

  • so was the fat asian chick depressed or something?

  • someone should do a longer version of this song, it's a very beautiful piano sounds

  • creeepy

  • I rapped you mother to this song. She just sits in a corner, and zones out now.

  • Too bad YOU'VE been sitting in a corner zoning out all your life to misspell a simple word like "Rape".

    Dumb ass

  • I raped your mother to the point where she's a traumatized vegetable, and all you can do is come back with some grammar bashing? Really?

    Give it up man.

  • @JurkoffJay

    are you seriously trying to start an argument on the soundtrack to a movie?

    i mean you cant even find good insults so you have to joke about peoples moms, thats lower than grammer bashing.

  • @JurkoffJay

    No im fine i dont feel like arguing with you

  • Is that your way of saying sorry? Come on. You can do better than that.

  • @JurkoffJay

    take that dildo out of your ass and gtfo

  • @JurkoffJay

    look seriously, judging by your profile picture, you look like a wanna be frat boy. It sounds like you REALLY want an argument, im going to stop giving you that. I mean, whats the point when in ten years you will never look back at this and it never helps anything in the future. Dont even bother writing back to this, because i wont.

  • @JurkoffJay

    so good day to you sir/woman

  • du hast wohl keine freunde die du nerven kannst und holst dir hier deine zuwendung... such dir ein hobby oder fang an zu wichsen ;-) echt erbärmlich.

    sehr geiler soundtrack und guter film übrigens

  • rofl your right

  • well ur hardcore r'nt u

  • Yeah, I guess so.
