  • i wanna fuck gretchen 1 time 2 times 1000 times

  • I like very much this song..

  • the 40 seconds this music plays in the movie is burned in my memory. as part of an experience that helped mold me as a person. i dont know of a better movie, with such a good soundtrack

  • This song symbolizes the entire movie in my opinion....this song is so eerie...yet happiness spawns out of it. In my opinion, all donnie wanted was happiness....which he could never achieve except for Gretchen, the reason he died. Thats truly what made him happy; protecting her.

  • This film spoke to me, and that concept of a horrific yet amazingly complicated film speaking to me terrified me beyond belief.

  • This music gives me weird feelings of sadness and a little bit of hope towards the end.

  • @DeutschPi i had the same feelings, before i realized that this world doesnt deserve my sacrifice. This soundtrack reminds me my best friend and also my girlfriend Sanja. I am... well, i was, suffering from schizophrenia like Donnie, but then she came, she is like Gretchen, my savior, my angel, and i hope i will never see or hear my "Fank" again... and i will enjoy the life together with her, like normal people ( :

  • this makes me want to die (but only after being in a tangent universe in my dream)

  • Does this song make anyone else think about somebody who has been tormented all their life but in their final moments finds peace and passes on?

  • the most expressive song ever

  • @DeutshiPi I agree ; This movie has changed my life.. I love it soo much ! It's the best movie i've ever seen and i'm convinced that it's the best i'll ever see (L) I could watch it over and over again and never get sick of it. x) it makes me feel so ..so happy and sad at the same time. AND DONNIE'S CUTE :3 <3

  • @DeutschPi I didn't know how to describe the feeling I got after watching this movie, but you just did a perfect job of it.

  • curiosity.

  • This song gives me a boner because of how awesome it is... sorry but too many deep comments were posted already.

  • Why cant this be LONGERRR!!! DX

  • @DeutschPi

    Nothing is right with the world, but if you kill yourself you will be at peace, for upon death you will lose all senses, all memories, all consciousness...it will be as though one never existed. But it will fuck up your friends and family...its essentially the only reason I don't kill myself.

  • @DeutschPi

    Tottaly with you. Knowing that you don't matter is such a drag for most people, but a select few realise how freeing and empowering it is. To be free in a world that has no plan or master, like a drop in a river, is the most beautiful thing in the world :)

  • Whatever does this sound made you fell, if you translate it into word then it has no sense at all. Words can not express what or how we feel.

  • I'm memorizing this song so I can know exactly what love feels like.

  • one of the best scores in the last 10-20 years - this and There Will Be Blood , so great

  • Fits my mood perfectly. I just wish I didn't always think so negatively about myself.

  • So beautiful.

  • does anyone have piano sheet music to this?

  • @h8lyfgomez

  • add freewebs dot com before it. Youtube wouldnt let me post a link.

  • Whenever I was this film I always feel like watching it again straight afterwards:')

  • there are 4 old, fat, creepy guys watching donnie and gretchen kissing

  • This is one of my favourite songs from the movie but it's so short! :(

  • i have sort of been getting the feeling that nobody really understands this movie. and it's as if, that is exactly what the writer's point: we are all so clueless to pick up the bigger picture from this movie. the metaphors, the allegories, the symbols. all i hear about when i mention donnie darko is that it's a fucked up movie and is too confusing. donnie darko is a movie exploring the dark side of human nature and high school through the metaphor of the dark and 'scary' bunny.

  • @chillybearB I thought it was mainly highlighting how damaged society is, displayed by Kitty Farmer, and how we have to know to do the right thing in moral conflict. It also was highlighting the importance of friends and family...basically, it was a homage to creativity and individuality, and also a life lesson. That's just what I think, though...

  • Donnie darko always reminds me of Being John Malkovich and vice versa...

    Excellent piece.

  • <3

  • I wish this was longer.

  • this song makes me feel a mixture of sadness and hope. It's beautiful. Strange I think the reason why I love Donnie Darko so much, besides the film is so complex and holds deep meaning; no matter how fucked up the film may be I love the powerful and beautiful music of this film. In a way Donnie Darko is a lot like Inception only more complex.

  • Comment removed

  • @crazybatmantopaz Very true for the movie is quite symbolical it took me quite some time and a few times watching the movie to grasp hold on the extreme emotion the movie had to offer.

  • ''quote from the movie donnie darko"

    thumbs up?

  • @xninesixx i hate people who ask for thumbs up, now chut up!

  • What is it about this film that affects everyone so much? I just can't stop thinking about it. It's amazing. The whole film is just perfect! It feels weird though, after watching it. Like you've discovered the meaning of life...

  • one word to describe this: perfect.

  • Sorry about the incomplete site, Youtube wouldn't let me post the link for some reason. But when and if you do visit the site, you will need to turn off your pop-up blockers. There is a lot of information that pops up, and you will need them off in order to proceed through the site. Again, you will not be disappointed!

  • 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. donniedarkofilm com

  • @DeutschPi that site is great, thanks! I can't get onto level 3 though :(

  • @hettieh It's okay, I got stuck on that part for a while too. What you have to do is go back to level two, and when you get to the part with the wallet, write down or remember the name of the street that Jim Cunningham lives on. That's the password to level 3. Have fun. :)

  • I'm sorry, but I think 3 people are the fucking antichrist.

  • Such a beautiful melody <3

  • Why can't it be longer?

  • @Mclovin171 maybe it's supposed to represent the fact that life is like a rose beautiful but it eventally dies.

  • gretchen ross... the perfect girl

  • What if you could go back in time, and take all those hours of pain and darkness and replace them with something better?

  • I see her face everytime I hear this..

  • This makes me happy still

  • it should be perfect for Hotel Dusk or something like it

  • WHY NO REPEAT BUTTON?

  • @whippou type in 'repeat' between youtube and the .com

  • the remix to this is so fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!

  • @HoboHero13 Please, what if someone who has not seen the movie yet gets into this video (I have no idea about why) and sees your comment? you may spoil the movie. Don't reveal parts of the movie, even if it's just the soundtrack.

  • @maptik well sorry, it's not like a revealed the whole plot line, I'm not spoiling the whole movie

  • @HoboHero13 No, but you know it would bother if you hadn't watched the movie yet and someone told you gretchen is going to die.

  • @maptik well tough shit, people spoil endings of movies all the time for me, deal with it

  • @HoboHero13 ... when did it turn into a fight? well if you are doing just to be a prick there is nothing I can do. Just don't do it.

  • @HoboHero13 Oh i know! this is one of the best films ever!

  • What a waste of such a beautiful piece! surely the composer wrote a full version somewhere?

  • go suck a fuck you fuckass.

  • magnific

  • Honestly this song is awe inspiring to me. When I listened to it I was just imagining the most awe inspiring thing standing right before my eyes. It was amazing.

  • When I first heard this, I wanted to learn how to play it on the piano. After listening to it several more times, I realized that no matter how much I practiced, my version would pale in comparison to the magic and beauty of the wonderful melody Michael Andrews composed, and would only ruin the song for me. I continue to listen to this version to remind me of the great mistake I narrowly but thankfully avoided. This is, quite literally, the most beautiful song in existence.

  • This song is so beautiful and amazing just like Jena Malone. 

  • i love this movie so much, mostly cause i hav what donnie has but also cause its so beautiful

  • beautiful song.. It's the scene when Gretchen kiss donnie, i don't know how many times i replay it. So lovely moment

  • this movie reminds me of edward sissorhands and the chumscrubber along those lines

  • i think about drew barrymore every time i hear this...particularly recalling the scene where she yelled FUUUUUUCK! then came to the realization that cherita was behind her. very powerful scene.

  • i like to go outside on a windy day and listen to this

  • When I think back on my times in college having the happiest and saddest times of my life this is the song I play in my head. It just feels so bittersweet

  • please someone tell me is Gretchen Ross the name of the song?

  • @thegurlz4eva No Gretchen Ross is the girl whose in the Film donnie darko

  • @thegurlz4eva It is debatable. I and many other people think this is because this song symbolises the way Donnie felt about Gretchen. Pure beauty and happiness.

  • @thegurlz4eva yes Gretchen Ross is the name of the song and the character in Donnie Darko

  • I absolutely love the fact, that Gretchen's tune is exactly like her. She keeps on talking about the beauty in the world, and the fact that Donny at the end of his final Tangent Universe cycle decides to end the Tangent Universe for her (she inspired him the most) decides to sacrifice himself to save the world. Sounds like Christ, right?

    Pay attention to the name of the movie as Gretchen and Donnie leave the theatre. Consider this is the last paradox.

    Such a beautiful story.

  • yeh i wish this song was longer it sounds like its guna get sumwhere then it stops :( lol nah great song it touches me

  • this song explains how donnie felt with Gretchen.

  • j'adore this. <3

  • god. this song makes me feel something and im not quite sure what it is...

  • wowzer. :') great film an' all.

  • such nice music in donnie darko i love that movie

  • the sound of love

  • Comment removed

  • i know how to play this on piano, such a nice song.

  • Such greatness. It's so dreamlike and then it turns slightly haunting at 0:33 when the voice quivers. Really effective.

  • This makes me feel like a feather gliding on a pond.

  • This song is what it feels like when you're in love.

  • @MullyFilm agreed dude

  • so the only reason the jet engine hit him, is because he avoided the jet engine, so if the jet engine hit him in the first place, than the turn of events that made the jet engine hit him would have never happened, which thus ould mean donnie would have lived? odd, kinda like minority report, its called an orthological paradox,

  • 1 guy is a fuckass, he can go suck a fuck or chut up

  • That's the best DD referenced insult ever.

  • @panstar15 What's a fuckass?

  • @SquirrellOFC watch the film then u'll know

  • @sportsfiend12 Lol, I've seen the film MANY times. This is what Sam says after the argument, making her dad spit out his pizza laughing.

  • @SquirrellOFC When's it my turn to squeeze one out?

  • @rhipirateprincess Not until 8th grade

  • @TwistedtheCl0wn

    donnie youre such a dick

  • @bebatrap Whoa, Elizabeth. A little hostile, there. Maybe you should be the one in therapy.

  • @TwistedtheCl0wn Ok, maybe you'd like to tell Mom and Dad why you stopped taking your medication.

  • @Belleswin You're such a fuckass.

  • @panstar15 Tell me, how does one suck a fuck?

  • @nautoid I'm all ears 

  • @panstar15 how exactly does one suck a fuck

  • This song really makes everything seem beautiful & it almost makes me want to cry how it makes me feel. so melancholy

  • this whole soundtrack makes me think about life..

  • "When do you wanna kiss?"

    "When I want to know the world is beautfiul"

    "Well why not now?"

    "Well theres some fat guy in sweat clothes staring at us"

    Haha, not exactly the same, but it made sense when this song appeared.

  • WHO THE FUCK WRITE THIS !?

  • @schlz90 Micheal Andrews.

  • love this song sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooo much

  • I feel ok with myself for once when I listen to this.

  • @DynamicScherzo so you touch yourself at night?

  • @MrKillerNine Yes, there are indeed people in this world who can achieve an erection. Sorry man but it doesn't happen to everyone. I suggest you see a urologist, or maybe try doing the deed to pictures of men next time. Maybe you're batting for the wrong team, but remember that we're all winners here!

  • @MrKillerNine hell yeeee! :P

  • @DynamicScherzo Deep my friend!

  • @DynamicScherzo Amen to that, brother!

  • i know a million other people said this, but this song needs to end way later. i just start really feeling it when it ends

  • why isit 50 seconds argh

  • i want that mask

  • This song is especially good when you're baked

  • @mcginty100 i love you

  • I was in a psychiatric hospital when I first watched this movie, only made me more sick. Hahaa.

  • best track in the movie

  • I watched Donnie Darko for the first time yesterday..(sadly enough) It was the most amazing movie I have ever seen. Except afterwards, I had nooo idea what just happened. But I took a lot out of it. And I love it.

  • @Iamapanda897 Basically the main concept of this movie plays with predetermined destiny, vs choosing your own destiny. We see in the beginning, in "normal" destiny, that he died by the plane engine; Donnie is special in the way that he can "see" his destiny, and skips his death, only for him to realize at the end that not only is "normal destiny" the better fate, but it's the inevitable one as well.

    You can bend this movie a hundred directions, and find something new and interesting every time.

  • reminds me of brian eno

    amazing work!

  • gretchen was so kick ass that they made THIS for her.

  • Donnie Darko is my favourite moviee;D!

    legend of a fim aii(L)!

  • Look up "Justin Bieber 800% slower"

    It sounds just like this.

  • @MeXXiPiNo916

    Just did dude awesome find :)

  • The kiss scene (L)

  • Donnie Darko is the best movie of all time, and this soundtrack fits the movie perfectly. This song is my absolute favorite. It just makes me want to watch the movie over and over again.

  • This song and Manipulated Living are my two favorites off the Donnie Darko soundtrack.

  • This is the exact reason why, YouTube needs a replay/repeat button

  • @SF18BRAV0 actually, you can make it repeat by putting a "repeat" in between youtube and .com on the address bar.

  • @TheIdiotDisease Thank you sir!

  • @TheIdiotDisease

    That's awesome, I didn't even know about that. It actually worked, thanks dude!!!!

  • @Zeca2009 No problem!

  • 352 thumbs up - 1 thumbs down...

  • @TheGuy3105 Make that 353. (:

  • I wish this song was longer, it's such a pretty song.

  • @Ghemmerr just put it on fruity loops and double the middle section or something call it a remix.

  • @Iamlooty doesnt sound a too bad idea. :) or i could just put it on replay :')

  • @Ghemmerr I uploaded a ten minute loop of this you're welcome nigga

  • @cbappa2 I shall have to have a listen then wont I.

  • @Ghemmerr slipping away is a longer version

  • @Ghemmerr

    look at the video response entitled "Gretchen Ross Looped for 10 mins"

  • i haven't seen this movie does anybody recommend it?

  • @RedMunsterEatsYou I truley recommend It :) I won't tell you what's it about, but I'll just tell ya it's really good ;)

  • @RedMunsterEatsYou come on now. its donnie darko. cult movie of the century. of course its recommended.

  • This song is making me thoroughly depressed

  • This is the score, not a soundtrack.

    That's why it's so short.

    It's just Gretchens theme music.

  • Really wish this soundtrack was longer

  • it's funny how this movie really makes sense but only two hours after watching itwhen you're in the bathroom or in the kitchen

  • Can sm1 tell me where I can download this =(,,,I cant find it >.<

  • @beautylovegirl271193 you can record it in windows movie maker narration and then save and convert it automatically by "importing file" into i-tunes :)

  • @Henry1993bc THANK YOU! ^^ But I already found it on limewire..theres a version called Gretchen ross and theres one version which is a lil longer called slipping away

  • @beautylovegirl271193 cool, these songs are insane, they make you feel like its a bit too damn real, i swear i see frank everywhere bahaha

  • @Henry1993bc I dont blame you :D:D I loved the movie so much! and these soundtracks are so AWESOME...Best soundtracks I heard until now XD and Prince of Persia warrior within soundtracks too

  • I love this soundtrack...makes me go rly deep....too bad its short =(

  • I just got chills...

  • i find that we all fink this film is beautiful in some way i know i fond mine but some of us find is hard to express but that is ok.

    it shows we are all deep and guys that wach and do not uderstand and find it funny will never see the spiritual side of the film

  • oh geez. we've got a pretentious, self-righteous douchebag youtuber here who probably uses words he/she doesn't know how to spell or use: silentloler.

  • Gosh, This is such a beautiful song...If only they made it longer(: This song is like 50 seconds of happiness haha :D

  • so why even exploit u dont like it..
