'Northern Exposure' - The Quest - Joel finds the Lost City

This is the last scene of Joel (Rob Morrow) who says farewell to Maggie and the viewers in this episode forever.
He found the Lost City since he has found himself and found his place in the World by now... :)
Good for him :) but sad for the fans...:(

Add info: the music is not the original one but from the DVD version.

Back to this scene: It's quite interesting that Joel wanted to go back to NYC continuously because he always mentioned it almost in every episode. Finally he found himself and he went back there when he could imagine it least of all. That's why I like this scene very much because it has message for everyday life. Altough it's valid for all episodes.

The David Schwartz music remains since he was the composer, and that def reminds me of the show. It was the best TV show ever. I loved it when Marilyn instinctively felt that Joel was on a soul journey.

But for die hards like myself who never missed an episode, what they did is a travesty.

In the ferry scene, try turning down that Rosemary Clooney or whatever it is and instead play the original song and you'll see how magical it was.

Ok, I tried it out and it's really better for that scene. It's a bit more gloomy song while the 2nd version is more optimistic, maybe. I like both of them. Btw here in Hungary they played only the 1st 4 seasons on TV so I know the others only in English and only from the net. But it was a great surprise for me when I realized that there are more seasons, not only 4.

Ok, I see... I was not aware of this. Thanks for the info!

How do you mean that the music is not the original? I did not change it... only cut this part from the movie. Or is there another version? If yes, then what is the original song?

Northern Exposure is a state of mind

I really prefer the original version, forever nightshade mary.. but does somebody know what song is THIS? it's a good song if you don't consider the NX episode.

How magic it was, Nothern Exposure, the greatest show I've ever seen! SO full of SENSE.

The music from the original airing (before they changed it for the dvd so they didn't have to pay the royalties) was "Forever Nightshade Mary" by the Latin Playboys, a side project of David Hidalgo from Los Lobos. I recommend hunting down that song if you want to know what the end of this episode originally sounded like. It's a beautiful, amazing song. (Not sure where people are getting the Billy Joel song, that's not what aired in the original episode any more than the song in this video is.)

Does anyone know this song at the end of the DVD version of Joel's departure on the Ferry?

[VinylVixen69]

So has anyone figured out the song that's played in the DVD version?

[kadennis66]

Original song was "New York State of Mind" Billy Joel.

[Mardah]

Does anyone kow the title of the end song?

Too bad Joel was surrounded by paradise (including Maggie) and all he could think about was Urban Sprawl.
