#15. "SONG FOR CHARLEY" by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis (The Assassination of Jesse James OST)

[ebuz218]

whoa...a little there,huh?

[primesniper14]

This film tore me apart between jesse and bob. I felt sympathy for both. Such a great film!

[rodeo179]

The film also studies the character of a criminal and shows how his fears and regrets were no different than most other men. It humanizes the demonized enemy. Robert realizes how ordinary his hero is and he also realizes after killing him that he's no different.

[johnplayersstandard]

I'm going to geuss that jesse knew what he was doing wasn't right and he knew he was doing wrong but he continued doing it to gain respect and other motives.

[johnplayersstandard]

I felt the worse for charlie he never wanted a part in it he just wanted peace.

[johnplayersstandard]

It's really an amazing this when a song makes me feel more then i've ever felt in my intire life.

[ViewtifulRaoul]

I was almost vomitting while listening to this song because of the way it touched my deep thoughts and made me think of death, beautiful song however.

[freakercreeper]

one dislike? how...? HOW?!

[DawnXOfXTheXAngry]

@freakercreeper lol..we should be allowed to appeal this...

[freakercreeper]

sam rockwell...is the man.



[ImTellingOnYoo]

Love Sam Rockwell but where's all the praise for Garret Dillahunt (Ed Miller)?

That scene with him a Jesse was amazing with the nervous atmosphere.

That was some of the best acting i've seen.

[zoubidlh]

Sam Rockwell ♥

[Mike8901000]

This sounds like a Civil War song.

[93bari]

Sam Rockwell is a Good Actor :)

[killmefornothing]

I was going to say, I didn't get this song on my soundtrack. Thank you!

[spaceselcukk]

thats the link fellas..fucking awesome song!!! tyr mp3skull it is there

[johnplayersstandard]

Charlie was a good man at heart and realized what he did was wrong!

[c0wb0y2727]

fucking awesome

[Demoniqueful]

Poor Charley he didn`t have to take things so seriously. We all do things we are not proud of. I wish I could have told him and showed him it was okay.

[johnplayersstandard]

@Demoniqueful What's going through your head...it wasn't okay! lol

[snessub]

@johnplayersstandard It's not that simple guys. You can't say it was wrong or right. Jesse was a fucking monster. Remember Ed Miller.

[ChristMelee]

anyone has this scene? please upload.

[yellowunicornortiger]

Calm your shit, Elijah.

[krautboomstick]

This hurts to listen to...

Anyone know where I can download?

[Davemanz]

Why is this not on the soundtrack available on iTunes? That one only goes up to track 14...why?!

[p4pfan]

0:30 - 0:40 Daniel Faraday :D

[snakestorm123]

You ever consider suicide?

Can't say that I have. There was always something else I wanted to do. Or my predicaments changed or I saw my hardships from a different slant; you know all what can happen. It never seemed respectable.

I'll tell you one thing that's certain; you won't fight dying once you've peeked over to the other side; you'll no more want to go back to your body than you'd want to spoon up your own puke.

[Faustrecht81]

one person sucks justin biebers dick

"i am gay and a pervert, i only listen to techno-pop, huaaa i´m a spastic"

get a life you bastard ´n kill yourself, bitch

[LAredJericho]

Poor Charley.

[Theambasaman]

I loved Charley's character in this movie...Sam Rockwell was brilliant in his potrayal..

[tr4nsist0r]

This soundtrack makes a grown man cry.

[futurestoryteller]

In the future this'll be one of those movies everyone is shocked isn't considered a classic, one where the cast looks as impressive as Ocean's 13 in hindsight, like Glengary Glen Ross or something. Where when it came out the names that might not have been as notable as Jack Lemmon, or Al Pacino; were Alan Arkin, and Kevin Spacey (Oscars anyone?). Who wasn't perfectly cast in this movie?

[SlingBlade79]

@goher793 could you tell me where to find that info?

[gopher793]

Charlie Ford faked his death in 1884 with the help of his friends, family and especially his brothers Elias and Wilbur and lived into the mid 1900's. There is no historical evidence that he ever suffered from consumption or was addicted to morphine.

-One who knows

[SlingBlade79]

Sam Rockwell is a great actor but alls I can think of when watching him was Wild Bill on the "Green Mile" lol.

[alkin12345]

The music for this movie is astonishingly moving. IMHO the music far out-weighs the actual movie, and thats not to say I thought the movie was rubbish.

[alkin12345]

This is just hauntingly soul renching. I love the pauses.

[mando3b]

@CTrace You're right, of course. But, man, it's clear he had no clue what he was getting himself into--he was living in a world of his own creation, until suddenly he realized he's in 'way over his head . . .

[lost2whispers]

"Charley Ford became all that his countrymen wanted an assassin of Jesse James to be."

[SlingBlade79]

Song for Bob #14 is the best song I think. But this one is good also.

[SlingBlade79]

Bob and Charlie made alot of people happy, so happens Jesse had friends in the news industry, Jesse James was a ruthless murderer. He liked to kill meek train clerks, shoot half wits in the back and beat children.

[Needham90]

Watch Moon.

[lovieallen24]

Good movie good score and everything. but this song was/is released, though it may be called a "Song for Charlie" but it is also one of the score's for the ending credits.

[mando3b]

Poor Charlie--he's the only nice (and half-way normal) man in the whole film. It's so sad when he's lying there in the bed, crying because he believes Jesse James is going to kill him the next day. I'm sure that that's one of the reasons Bob Ford kills Jesse--he's protecting his brother. Rockwell is perfect in this role. I love how the "star power" (Pitt & Affleck) does its job, but that there's also a perfect ensemble for the material--just like in "The Godfather". My favorite film.

[jowston100]

Rockwell was so amazing. Hell, everyone was.

[MkMproductions759]

i recently watched a show on history that points to the fact that Robert ford didn't kill Jesse James but that Jesse staged his own death so ppl would stop coming after him. it was really cool and the amount of Evidence the show gave convinced me.

[hevoh456]

lovelovelove this movie. sam rockwell is amazing.

[xxnutcreamxx]

I was kinda confused when it happend, but didn't charlie kill himself?

[joseph291]

@xxnutcreamxx Yes in real life charlie killed himself because of an overwhelming fear that Jessie's brother Frank was out to get him.

[zzz333ist]

Musica molto romantica !!

Gracias

[RagingBull91]

I hated this movie when i first saw it, but it was cause i really didn't pay attention to it, altough i liked the soundtrack. then i saw it on tv and loved it and i just bought the film

[strutnoodle]

@RagingBull91 i hate movies in the theater, especially long ones. I love watching this movie at home with my pause button lol this is my favorite movie.

[chazzlebooi]

could you send me the mp3 of this song please? and also the last waltz if you have it?

[KEINAANDKELLY]

Magnifique

[VickyMaree]

Beautiful music. Thank you for posting.

[MARIESM20]

ive been in the real jesse james house in st jo missouri about 6 times now. my grandma lives 4 blocks away from his house, his house used to sit on top of a hill but they moved it because of some underground pipes or somethin like that. his house is a hell of a lot smaller than they made it look in the movie. theres a hole in the wall when bob shot jesse and the original picture frame, its really cool. it makes me want to go back now after ive seen the movie,but i live all the way in cali :(

[ishnal]

to answer Cacophob's question, this is Charley. Robert Ford's brother and Jesse's Friend. not only was he my favorite character in the show, but i believe he had the saddest story. afterall he couldn't help what his brother had done (notice the name of the song) it would only be fitting to see pictures of Charley :)

[strutnoodle]

sorry, smarty pants, but this song is untitled. the person that uploaded this video gave it a name.and in a way charley was responsible also for assassination, because he too was pulling his gun. He grew to hate robert because of his bragging.

[Faststone85]

Umm did we see the same movie!??

Clearly Charley pulled his gun out but never, never intended on pulling the trigger! Come on did you see his face he turned away, not only that but he tried to tell bob to call it off, maybe cuz he was scared or whatever but that shows Charley knew HE truly did not want Jessie dead.

[strutnoodle]

no, you're totally missing the point. charley knew that killing jesse was nessesary. bob gloating about the assassination is what drove charley to kill himself, cause he and jesse were friends. you need to rewatch the film.

[thomasbaron06]

no,

if you watch it carefully as he pulls his gun he aims it for Bob,

Charley was jesse's best friend and he didn't want Jesse dead,

but he also wanted it to end somehow,

just not in the way that it did

he just couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger and kill his little brother,

it was either kill his little brother or let his best friend die... at least that's what i think it showed

[strutnoodle]

I didn't see that at all. but it's possible.

[strutnoodle]

I didn't see that at all. but it's possible. great movie either way. some people put way too much damn thought into it though.

[thomasbaron06]

yup, it's possible, it really is a shame though,

all of America feared and hated him and wanted his reign of terror to end, but after his death, charley and bob became the most hated men in America for what they did,

you do the people a service and bring down the most famous outlaw in American History and in doing so you become the most hated man in the world,

i just don't understand that at all =(

rest in peace Charley and Robert Ford and Jesse James

[strutnoodle]

they're still heroes in my mind. and it was a tragedy.

[BlinkBoyBrad]

@thomasbaron06 It wasn't that people hated jesse james. He was looked at as somewhat of a robin hood character during that time. If the public wanted him dead, they easily could have ratted him out, or rounded up a posse and caught him. But although some despised him because of his lawlessness, the common man, the poor people, respected him. It was the aristocrats and wealthier people that wanted him gone. He was no hero, but he never once tried to be such. The Fords killed an icon

[thomasbaron06]

@BlinkBoyBrad they killed an icon and bcame the most INFAMOUS criminals in american western history

[mando3b]

@BlinkBoyBrad It's obvious that Dick Liddle and Jim Cummins were happy to rat Jesse out and collect the reward money. The only reason they don't is because Jesse smells out the plot, and murders Ed Miller, who they got mixed up in it. As for "the common man", everyone is scared witless of Jesse, who's clearly slipping even deeper into psychosis. The point of the film is how bogus all that "icon" crap is--Bob Ford's tragedy is that he's bought into it and throws his life away in the process.

[berniemacster]

Watch the movie again. Charley was in for the killing of jesse james since bob told him

[StChiara]

thats not what happened, when the gun is pointed DOWN and to his right for that second when he takes it out, watch his eyes, he's checking his gun, then theres the fact that when Bob and Charlie were talking the night before when Charlie was crying, Charlie was convinced that Jesse was going to kill them both, which explains Charlies behavior at the breakfast table before Jesse even read the paper. I seriously doubt he'd even CONCIEVE to kill his own brother over someone whos aiming to kill him

[thomasbaron06]

well with a brother like bob (a pussy, a wimp and a coward) i'd would've rather killed him myself to save Jesse the trouble THEN commite suicide

[StChiara]

yeah I hear ya.

[strutnoodle]

@thomasbaron06 you missed the point entirely. It's a tragedy. Robert Ford was not a coward and Jesse was not a hero.

[karlox010592]

i disagree that robert ford want a cowerd i think he was but ya jesse wasnt a hero he never pretented to be

[SlingBlade79]

@strutnoodle most of the people that run their mouths about Bob have never read the real history of the James'

[ebuz218]

@SlingBlade79 just because it's written does not make it fact.so stop the b.s.

[SlingBlade79]

@ebuz218 go fuck yourself dick wad. I do not even see a comment made on this song recently, and and by the way glad Jesse James was shot in the back of the head, I guess karma sucks now doesn't it?

[MrOeyoenne]

@strutnoodle i dont really get how bob was no coward... could you explain this please?

[RyanBoss26]

@MrOeyoenne Bob shot a man that wanted to be shot at that moment. Jesse felt betrayed. Bob and Charley were afraid they would be Jesse's next victim and there was no workable suitation after that news article where Dick confessed.

[estefez]

Every character in this movie has a monumental- larger-than-life presence to them... It makes the movie feel brilliantly epic and iconic.

[hessian20]

could not have said it better myself. Bravo to you

[CacophobicsUnite]

what is this video?

[GitchwaTombo]

this is the soundtrack from the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford

[brokenwall20]

thanx for the link these extra tracks are great & should of been on the soundtrack but ive got them now so nice one, thought Rockwell was fantastic in this film!!! saw a couple of guys out of Deadwood too, brilliant casting allround, films should be like this, great casting, good story, beautiful music & epic scenery = timeless film.

[Minnexyz]

Rockwell stole every scene he was in.

[hollowman9514]

Poor charley

[revilolee]

Loved Rockwell in this. Loved the whole cast actually.

[ShadyNJ]

I thought the cast was excellent as well...I though Pitt handled the style and motions of Jesse very well it just seemed he came to heavy with the accent at points. Casey Affleck was superb as well as Rockwell and they are both very underrated actors

[27loldie]

@revilolee Everybody loves Brad Pitt now. I guess he isn't seen as the "I'm better than everyone because I'm handsome" type anymore because he's in his 40s and has kids. lol Well obviously something happened because he's in better movies now.

[SharpWalkers]

the look he gave at 1:50 sended gave me chills when i first saw it.

[drey11986]

Thx for the link!!!! I was wondering, cause my soundtrack has only 14 Tracks, awesome movie, awesome soundtrack!

[koblenzer01]

rockwell rocks...

beautiful song

[slimjimpui]

Cheers bud- good to have this. Sam is the best

[Gebbs57]

When I hear this I always think of the conversation between Charley and Jesse about suicide. Jesse asks Charley if he ever considered it...he said no...always viewed his problems from a different slant. Charley had a hard time with the death of Jesse...I guess he could not view it from another slant. I felt bad for Charley.

[jzarse08]

Sam Rockwell played this role well.

[gusdabus05]

"charly ford became what any american wanted an assassin of jesse james to be".....a person who commits suicide...rip charly ford....

[bowerab]

i cant figure out how to download this on the links....can anyone tell me how?

[djcritikalmusik]

left click on either one of them, try clicking on Badongo. Then just click on DOWNLOAD FILE

[bowerab]

thanks im an idiot

[Anatolij86]

OH THIS IS THE ONE I WAS LOOKING FOR!!! Thanks!!!

I love it!

[Coxailkopf]

the short loudness doesn´t matter ;)

the song is beautiful!

[strutnoodle]

i'd download it if it were legal and if it weren't a link to a virus lol

[crazy36456]

A Sad but beautiful song , it reminds me of like someone who has regret and sorrow, fitting for Charley Ford.

[btopsmoviechannel]

(Sorry for the loudness at 00:35)

[freakercreeper]

@btopsmoviechannel oh please, it's more than ok. :)

[jagovRUS]

@btopsmoviechannel Do you (or anyone else for that matter) happen to have the correct order of the score tracks in chronological order as they were played in the movie?
