  • The book and film are amazing, really make you think about love, life and death...

  • i fucking love this film!

  • Eek. A mistake. They shouldn't have made a song.

  • @96george1 why? is nice

  • Whoa, just started reading the book and got to the point where she mentioned Judy. Thought I'd listen to it and didn't know about this song with the same name as the book. Cool stuff. Didn't know there was a movie either, lol.

  • @MynZnusz The song was made for the movie. Judy Bridgewater is a fictional artist.

  • @ACCatw so in the book, it was only something made up? Like, there was no such song in real life. And then they made this song for the movie, and called it the same thing as in the book?

  • @MynZnusz There was a cassette with the song "Never Let Me Go" by Judy Bridgewater in the book. She's a fictional singer. They made that song for the film.

  • loved the movie, now I just need to read the book. Love this song.

  • Rachel Portmen in Itunes finds it. Never Let me go.

  • The song is great but the movie is terrible (the whole plot has so many flaws)

  • @31193JaH it was based off an award winning book. it was a adaptation. I guess reading the book first would have helped. i guess you dont really get it

  • @DaKurlz1

    Unless the story line of the book is very different from the movie, I would have to question what sort of idiots gave out that award. The whole plot is nonsense. Why are so many 'clones' needed and please explain the sense behind raising and teaching these people for 20 years just to have them die? Not once is the idea of running away and not conforming to the system explored which is a shame as that might have made this hopeless film more interesting. Still, nice song though.

  • @31193JaH exactly you just proved my point that you didn't quite get it(not insulting you). The book was a metaphor of the human race"us" representing that no one can escape death and that every one on this Earth never truly feels that they had enough time to experience or do what they want.and basically we die and grow old just for our kids. plus there was the romance that was also thrown into the story. thats what it was about mostly

  • I thought this song already existed, that it was an old song x) Anyway, I loved the film <3

  • great tune-lloyd price sang it way back when.

  • Never Never Never let me go~

  • I wish I had read the book before I watched the movie...

  • @jessys2kitty resolution: read the book then watch the movie again. That's what I'm doing

  • This songs always makes me sad :(

  • neverrrrrrrr never let me goooooooo

    one of favorite movies ever

  • So disappointing to hear this after reading the book. I know I sound like a total cunt of a hipster but I don't give a shit. Why did the change it to 'darling'?

  • Neverrrrrrrrrrr lannn zaaaa xD

  • <3... I love it

  • i love this soooo much . <3

  • Just finished the book, I totally thought this was a real song. As in, like a real song from before the novel.

    This is pretty much how I expected it to sound, maybe it was a little slower and sadder in my mind because that's just how the whole book was. Like "Bang Bang" by Nancy Sinatra.

  • This is not at all how I imagined this song sounding. I'm actually a little disappointed because it's more raucous than the book makes it out to be.

  • @PoopingAllAround the song came first remember , and sadly imagination is almost always better.

  • @zerker12568901 It didn't, though. The song was fictional in the book and they wrote it specifically for the movie.

  • @PoopingAllAround oh wow really thats cool :)

  • I can't find this song on 4shared anyone can post please?

  • i started questioning my sexuality after watching this movie lol....since i turned all emotional....VERY sad ending :(

  • @yasofshka haha this movie made it okay for boys to cry!

  • i wish i had this song in mp3. i can't find it in the internet :(

  • @ChloeTran2609  use youtubedownloader... from cnet..

  • @Mexecution19 ah! thank you a lot :)

  • Comment removed

  • I'm sorry, but no matter what you say, the meaning to this song is much more important in the book than it is in the movie.

  • @alfeique

    Although I've only seen the movie and didn't read the book, I was completely turned over by this song and my boyfriend and I would sing it still a year after seeing the movie ! Maybe the book emphasized it way more but it is so strong in the movie as well though.

  • Haven't watched the movie yet but judging by the comments, I'm kinda disappointed that Kathy wasn't dancing with the baby doll. That was my favourite scene in the book, and the most emotional scene for me (once I understood it of course). Still, I'm loving how they made the song.

  • Comment removed

  • Obviously Never Let Me Go brought you here since this song was specifically made for that movie.....

  • one of the best movies i ever seen. great story!!!!!!

  • i can't believe this song actually exists! i've just finished Never Let Me Go (I mean, the book, 'cause i haven't watched the movie yet) and looked up the title of the song and the artist out of pure curiosity. and here it is.

    really, can't believe it :)

  • @recoilm watch the movie too it's great :)

  • The pillow clearly represents tommy and if you think otherwise i'd be asking your parents why they didn't enroll you in a school,that or you might be missing a heart...

  • I hate Tommy

  • freaking sad movie

  • How could this song sound exactly the way I'd imagined it when I read the book? :)

  • Who among you here know where to download this song? Please. I need to put this one in my ipod.

  • @devievillarin Type youtube converter onto google, just follow the instructions. I use it for every song on youtube :P

  • I love the song as well as the movie.

  • We're reading this book in school...too much weird talk abt horniness

  • I went crazy trying to find this damn song!! ahhhhh. this song makes me feel so happy, makes me imagine myself in a candelit room, wearing a 70's prom dress drinking wine while dancing around the room. :)

  • this is such an amazing book and movie. 

  • Where is my glass of wine ?

  • The First movie to make me really cry !

  • beautiful movie and book, and a beautiful song

  • I downloaded this song through YT Downloader. I was amused when the Status says "Completed'. haha

  • Comment removed

  • Le film, le livre, cette musique ça me chamboule totalement...aahhhh!!!

  • this song is heartbreaking.

  • seriously fell in love with andrew garfield in this movie.

  • Darling , kiss me <3

  • I cried so much while watching this movie, such a beautiful and amazing story!! :D

  • Is it strange if im a guy and i loved this movie?

  • @headtrips1 No, it's not! :)

  • @headtrips1 what are u talking about? the author is a guy -_-;

  • @headtrips1 It's strange you even made a comment pointing out your gender and how for some reason it's supposed to get in the way of enjoying this movie. I'm a guy also, but it doesn't fucking matter, it's not a girl movie, it's film for all adults.

  • Good response, thanks.

  • This song is just so beautiful! It brings tears to my eyes.

  • There is a much better more haunting version of this song...and it is also sung by Jane Monheit - It is a jazz standard that can be found here on youtube. It is not a do-op (not that there is anything wrong with it) but a painfully haunting ballad, with simple accompaniment...sorry for the repeat, I am looking for a way to post it, but anyone intrested can find it. I wonder if the author of the book realizes about the two songs.

  • There is a much better more haunting version of this song...and it is also sung by Jane Monheit

  • They really missed the boat with the film I think. The book is so detailed and you spend every chapter witnessing the world through Kathy's eyes, watching so closely all the emotions of the other characters. By Ruth witnessing Kathy's obvious longing for love and not Madame, had you not read the book you would never have realised this was Madame realising herself the children had a soul.

  • I've only cried reeeeally hard because of two movies: The Lovely Bones, and Never Let Me Go. I loved this movie so much, and Andrew Garfield is just... flawless. Carey is perfect, and Keira... I just wanted to slap her, but she was great, haha.

  • I like the way this scene was conveyed in the book a lot more. The scene in the book was a lot sadder, and was more effective when Madame saw her versus Ruth, because it alludes to what's to come.

  • @sincerelyjessy I agree. Madame looking on, aware of the impossibilty of Kathy's adolescent dreams, has a lot more pathos. I cried like a baby myself, especially at the heartwrenching cry from the guy in the country lane towards the end, when he had to give up his final hope of salvation, and Kathy could only comfort him helplessly. In the end, all we have is each other.

  • Over*

  • This movie was a bit confusing at times, but oved all a good movie. &: I was wondering who sang the song? I love it :)

  • The book is much better

  • I listen to this all da time :) it makes me kind of sad :/ ik in the kathy nd tommy nd ruth situation..:/

  • Thumbs up if the movie Never let me go brought you here ! <3

  • @FuckOff3086 WHAT ELSE WOULD BRING YOU HERE look at the title you thumbs-up whore. LOVE THIS MOVIE/BOOK <3

  • @FuckOff3086 the book did :)

  • @FuckOff3086 - hi...i just saw this movie today....this movie moved me in a way that i haven't been moved in a long time. and yes!! this is a gorgeous song....so ridiculously perfect for this movie...its wierd...how this song was made so long before the movie...yet found its perfect home in this movie....its wierd. makes me think theres some sort of connection with all things.

  • @Shirro384 Judy Bridgewater is a fictional singer, this was made specially for the movie :\

  • ooooww :(

  • Beautiful

  • my dad is convinced this song isn't fictional and it actually existed before the film around the suggested time period.

  • Well..wasn't expecting to bawl my eyes out to this film and the music.

  • 4 people don't have anything to hold onto.

  • i watched this on the flight back to my town. and i'm so so friggen' glad i did(: it's a wonderful movie<3 it's really depressing though ;c cos i i just wishhh that tommy and kathy had gotten together. and i have a question for people that have read the book, why couldn't kathy and all the other donors just run away? as in, not show up for their appointed donation times? i was just a bit confused on whether they were like sealed in on it or something?;o

  • @LiliputLemonade I don't recall it saying that there was really something obvious that was keeping them from running away (after they left Hailsham, of course). But I remember Kathy saying something about them being at peace with what they were made to do, even though it didn't seem exactly right.

    I'm paraphrasing of course, but it was something along those lines. Plus, where would they go? They had little knowledge of how the outside world works. They might not have survived if they left.

  • @kikyo4815

    yeah i kind of thought about that after i commented. they don't have anywhere to go, and plus i was thinking maybe they didn't even know they could run away, like maybe they didn't know any better cos that's how they were brought up, to donate.

  • @LiliputLemonade

    that's exactly it. they don't know anything about normal life, becuase they were conditioned. the concept of running away is alien to them. making a donation is their purpose. and although they are afraid of it. they have no other option. I'm sure for all who ran away there was a consequence. a "real" child could have been in an accident, and needed a new heart. where do you think the naughty children clones go when they dissapear. not to a new home.they "complete" early.

  • @Rowan07001484

    i fucking hate the concept of donation schools D; i hope nothing like this ever happens :/

  • @kikyo4815

    They were treated well enough apart from the obvious. most people find it terrifying breaking away from everything they know, and most people have an idea of possible alternitives. They did not. They were not encouraged to really think for themselves.

    but Tommy did say that the next generation of clones were battery farmed. if abused, people go off the rails. what Hailsham did was clever. they gently reinforced the purpose of the children's lives.

  • there are 4 people who don't like this song! how is that even possible?

  • @maryx4x any stereotype is good, for adults, for teenagers, anyone. Like you said, "no one is completely alike" :)

  • I thought this was the best thing about the film

  • one of the the most depressing book/movie I have read/watched.

  • @lyac try revolutionary road!

  • im starting to cry when i hear this song again, have just seen the film and im completed

  • @rekksch That commentary was beautiful 1

  • i am heartbroken they changed the lyrics "baby" to "darling" it was the thing i was most looking forward too </3

  • yah i havent cried this hard in a very long time.

  • Gdzie moge kupic jej plyte winyla albo cos??

    Where can I buy her vinyl or sth ?? please :(

  • i thought Judy Bridgewater was real, then I found she is Jane Monheit wow

  • Andrew Garfield acted SO well in the movie!

    you couldn't find a better tommy.

  • wow...this song was definitely a great choice by kazuo ishiguro. nothing would fit better to that story.

  • love this song

  • LOVE THE BOOK

  • I think the original is by Lloyd Price, different vocals but both equal.

  • When I saw Kathy H. sitting on her bed listening to this cassette for the first time, I remembered the time I was her age, hugging a cushion, listening to words of love with such fervour, and dreaming....

  • I have this blasted on my speakers while I close my eyes and slow dance around the room. My neighbors may hate me but I can't help replaying this over and over while I just am thinking of bliss.

  • awesome book! love the movie

  • can I marry this song?

  • this is really a beautiful song, i just keep playing it after i finished the film. the lyrics are short and very simple, but they are telling the real story.

  • Film was good, but not a patch on the book. But I am LOVING this song.

  • touching film

  • GREAT book. good movie. but for some reason, i love the movie more. i love Never Let Me Go.

  • Beautiful song. Can't stop listening to it.

  • it's my favorite move!

  • *-* so cute!

  • the movie was great and the song is awesome!!!

  • 每当我听这首歌就会想起你,qiaochu。不纠缠,不代表忘记­。Never let me go.最终我们错过了彼此。如果时光可以倒流,我一定唱这首歌唱­到你可以紧紧的抱着我,而我可以深情的拥吻着你。

  • Sad film, make us think about our actions about people on the merge of our society, wich we try not to see. GREAT SONG, great actings, great playwright, direction, weirdly touching...

  • 1.-When I read the book, I thought Judy Bridgewater did exist...

    2.-I did thought it would sound like Julie London but would be more of a 'Cry me a river' song...

  • The book was amazing.

  • Love the song, love the movie.. Pfff..!

    I cried like a baby watching the movie.. I love it!

    The song is BEAUTIFUL.. (: I loove it!

  • Beautiful song

  • hah i thought this was a real song. thought it was beautiful when young Kathy was swaying to the song.

  • this movie is just amazingly beautiful!!!

  • This Song Is Just Perfect =')

  • I looked this up because I am reading the book right now and just read about the part where she finds the tape and how she interprets it as in the oman had a baby after many tries and miscarriages. So far the book is so wonderful. :)

  • Is the film on DVD in the UK yet? :)

  • I love it so muchhhhhh

  • If you're happy and you know it, hug a clone !

  • so good for a "fake" song.  It's like the movie brought it to life

  • ugh, this movie and this book and this song <3

  • the movie is so sad.

    Poor Clones ) :

  • I cried.

  • Magnificent.

  • I loved the movie. And this song <3

  • i wish i cuould sing a song that sounds like this,, i love that 50's sound to it

  • mp3 please?

  • i think the producers of this movie really missed an important aspect of this book by changing the lyric "baby" to "darling."

  • @twiggystardust65 I disagree. By having Ruth witness Kathy dancing with the pillow (rather than Madame), they clearly weren't trying to convey the baby fantasy. In the film, which centers even more than the novel on the love triangle/romantic tension, I believe the pillow represents Tommy.

  • @GunslingerXYZ That is probably true, but Ruth over Madame didn't have much to do with it not being a baby. Madame never thought it was a baby, that was just Kathy's interpretation, which was downplayed in the movie.

  • @GunslingerXYZ You're perfectly right. They replaced the word on purpose. But the book is more complex (as every book compared to the movie) and you get more fully the sense of tragedy of their lives if you don't focus only on the romance. Because Tommy, Ruth and Kathy share more than romance. They share part of a common person's life, and the same link with life, or a fate.

    To be honest, after seing the movie i thought i ve been so thick i missed the romance from the beginning of the book.

  • @GunslingerXYZ And the loss of tommy is somehow more meaningful than the condition of never being able to live a fully human life, including the birthing of a child?

  • @twiggystardust65 I only watched the film and didn't know that she wanted a baby. Wow that's actually making me teary now. I guess that's also why she wanted to be a carer.

  • When was this song done? Can anyone tell me?

    ANDREW GARFIELD <3 <3

  • @vAmpBabe6 The song was composed and performed solely for the movie adaptation of Never Let Me Go, so it was only "done" a couple years ago. It's just supposed to be from the late 1950's, so it was made to sound as if it was.

  • @kitchenflails Cool. Thanks for the info

  • I really wish I hadn't read the book right before the movie, because I felt that I was comparing them too much rather than enjoying the movie on its own. Great film though.

  • 3 people let go.

  • where i can download this shit

  • @bootsluzer I know right? Can't find it anywhere! Just gonna turn convert this video into an MP3.

  • it is a heartfelt song :) but why is there no "baby" in it? in the book, it mentioned that there was "baby" in it.

  • i saw the movie, and i cant find the book! im so angry because of this... im fifteen now, so im still young, dont tell that young people dont read if you dont have good books

    sorry, maybe its a very stupid coment, but i cant believe they dont have such a book, the film was already beautiful, i cant imagine how beautiful that book would be

  • @beneathmydreams2 heya!! I'm 15 too! and I completely agree! terrible assumption people make about what 15year olds read(if they do at all),,, it's odd u can't fin the book though, like I bought mine in a clinic, but they should have it in any book shop! (easons, dubray books, bears and nobel - whereever shop is big in your constituency :) -)

    the book was pretty good :) interesting, different, yet to see the movie, is it good?
