“We all change, when you think about it, we are all different people all through our lives and that’s okay that’s good you’ve gotta keep moving so long as you remember all the people that you used to be."
Fun probably-not-true theory time: The Long Song was chosen at the Rings of Ahkaten, not to appease/quell the Parasite God but as an attempt to support/relay as message to the Doctor. His actions have taken the name "Doctor" to translate as "Warrior" in many languages; he asked to be a Warrior for the Time War; he could be the Warrior they refer to in the song. If the Queen of Years knows all the stories to tell the God; who's to say she isn't aware of the survival of Gallifrey? It already happens in 11's timeline, but he doesn't remember. Something like that is bound to seep out into the universe somehow. The song, in his time of need, could have been made and performed to try and help the Doctor remember. Remember that he can "wake up" from his guilt, and to search for the lives that he saved. Just a theory, but I like the thought.
Listening to this again after watching The Night of the Doctor, I was suddenly struck by the realization that this song is eluding to Hurt's Doctor. "Rest now, my *Warrior*." Moffat and Gold, you geniuses.
everytime there is a chorus in Doctor Who, its an OVERWHELMING song, Old Rugged Cross from "Grimlock", the "Song of Freedom" from "planet of the Oods" and this one, they all managed to hit the spot that make us all emotional and warm inside.
It's always like this though. They 1st hate the new guy, then they like them, then they adore him. The fandom regeneration cycle. I mildily didn't care much for Matt at first, but I grew to love him like all other Doctor's that pass through the TARDIS doors. It's always been that way for as long as I can remember Miss you Matt, hope you make another appearance in the future. ;) Like this song.
As someone who started with Smith and then went back to Eccleston and Tennant, I was fairly skeptical of Capaldi at first, but I've been very pleasantly surprised and he's been the doctor to grow on me the quickest except for Smith.
Timihr Capaldi is awesome. I was hoping that he would stick around for a long while and not be a 1-year wonder like Eccleston was. Though I understand why Eccleston left, I was rather peeved that he did before many could grow to know his Doctor. I mean, their are many fans that like 9th and would like to see more of his Doctor *points at herself* ;) I mean, wouldn't you want to see more of 9th? I know I do.
DarkComet360 well, I never met someone who knew why Eccleston left. Why? I liked him so much as doctor, but I thought he didnt had the time to "construct" a good doctor
Raphael Floresta I know why he left. He had a bad clash with 3 of the top heads of the show. Apparently something they were doing irked him so, so he left. Though I live in hope that he will put differences aside in the future for at least a cameo. It would be nice to see his Doctor again.
10 says he lived too long. Poor 11 he will probably do anything can do avoid regenerating. He's been 11 for too long now, he's becoming fully infused to him and will be deadly within it self to uproot that. And 12 will suffer from that. Because 11's soul, just 11 will haunt him, long then 10 did. The nightmares and agh feels
Finally, found the full song. It's so emotional because the song wasn't directed at the "parasite" sun, but rather at the Doctor. It's pertaining the end of his days when he finally "rests" and "wakes up" elsewhere perhaps at peace and free of pain. The hardship, I can imagine is unbearable for him, having to life day after day witnessing others living and dying - knowing that it's all his fault. Whatever he does, it comes at a grave cost of himself and the ones he holds dear. His 900-year song has been a long one, But as an Ood once indicated to us... all songs will eventually come to an end. Nevertheless his story, his legacy... the stuff of legends, it lives on in our hearts.
I swear, if some of these songs or variations of aren't played during Eleven's regeneration or Clara's departure, I'm going to be very disappointed because they're SO MOVING, it's insane!
Never forget.... your time as the doctor Matt will always be remembered just as well as David's time. We will remember all the times you made the audience laugh. It will be so memorable, the man who ate fish fingers and custard, the man who yelled "Look at me! I'm a target!". No matter what, we will always remembered the fact that YOU were the doctor. Never forget!
I just played this youtube video beside the end of time episode where David regenerates. Hit start when you first see ood sigma... mute the video and only turn it up when there is vocals but not all the way.. It is just heart crushing.
Seems like the showmakers thought the same thing as you. An instrumental version of this came back during Eleven's regeneration. And it is heart-crushing indeed.
This song is exactly like the Song of Freedom, but for the Eleventh Doctor. It's an emotional song that is sung by people he is freeing from slavery. And it returns during his regeneration.
My cat got sick and I had to put her down today, and I thought of this song, it's both a nice and sad song, I'm crying a bit right now. Rest In Peace BUFFY, your hardship is over.may you find peace, I Love You Little Girl :(
I used to watch Doctor Who back in the 90's and loved it. Fell off of it for awhile but got back into it recently because the hype was everywhere and am still not disappointed. This just makes me cry my heart out every time I listen to it. I love this series so much. :)
I walked away from the last great youtube redesign. I marked the passing of the star rating system. I saw the birth of the internet, and I watched as posts ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained. No trolls! No commenters! Just me. I've walked in forums where the terms of service are controlled by a MAD MAN! I've watched threads freeze and websites burn. I have seen things you'd never believe. I have lost accounts that you will NEVER understand! And I know links. Links that must NEVER be told. Links that will make parasite mods BLAZE! So come on, then!DOWNVOTE IT ALL BABY! DOWNVOTE IT ALL!
Rest now.....my warrior. Rest now, hardship is over. Live. Wake up. Wake up. And let the cloak, of life -- cling to your bones. Cling to your bones. Wake up, wake up. Live. Wake up. Wake up. And let the cloak, of life -- cling to your bones. Cling to your bones Wake up. Wake up! Live! Wake up! Wake up! And let the cloak! Of life! Cling to your bones! Cling to your bones! Wake up! Wake up! Cling to your bones! Wake up! Wake up!
So glad they used Infinite Potential with parts that sounded like this. Perfect choice for the really very emotional experience of Eleven regenerating ;(
can you hear them? all these people who lived in terror of you and your judgment..... all these people who's ancestors devoted themselves, sacrificed themselves to you....can you hear them singing?
This song is a plea for the doctor to live so he can protect people BUT EVEN IF HE DIES HE WILL LIVE ON IN ALL OF HIS companion S HEARTS AND THE HEARTS OF ALL THE PEOPLE HE SAVED LONG LIVE THE DOCTOR
Każdy z nas ma od początku życia kilka wcieleń. Każdy z nas z biegiem czasu zmienia się aż zrozumie że ze złem trzeba walczyć, walczyć dobrem, nie bronią. Każdy kto się rozwija przechodzi swoją własną reinkarnacje dzięki której odradza się jako nowy człowiek.
I know not everyone watches Doctor Who, and its not my place to say that they should. but they don't know what they're missing. This show has been going for fifty years not for any reason but that it still connects with its fanbase, that the Doctor seems more human than some actual human characters we see. It was never about anything else. If the Doctor was unidentifiable and without emotion, only then would people have called him "alien". He fears death and faces it courageously repeatedly.
One of the best scenes of Matt Smith's era, so powerful, and this with the speech is beautiful :D Love it, Murray Gold is a genius. And the episode The Rings of Akhatan is great too
Considering what's apparently happening at Christmas, this song would be damn appropriate for 11's death... I was against it being used at first with it perhaps being too 10th Doctor-y, but knowing what's going to happen, everything 11 shall lose, if this music, or a variation of it, doesn't play, it will be a great shame and a missed opportunity.
HDxMeDalzz Well, he has been through much turmoil with losing Amy and Rory, River, probably gonna lose Clara as well, dealing with the Pandorica, The Silence, Trenzalore, etc. So we'll see what happens.
HDxMeDalzz I could tell you if you wanted, but it's one of those things that's unbelievable when you read it... like for example, the Cyberhead in the promo pic will be The Doctor's companion on Trenzalore over the many many years he's there. He's called Handles.
The Dr knew what it would mean if you where stuck in a time stream that repeated forever and then crossing over your own time stream, loop at ur own risk!
Fun fact: I'm a Doctor Who fan and I've got a brother-in-law named Rory who's a nurse. He's not married to an Amy but my sister's name is Ashley so that's another A I guess. Another fun fact: he doesn't watch Doctor Who so he's never seen the Doctor Who Rory. He does know about him as he gets a lot of Doctor Who jokes at work though!!! I asked.
No sadly not. He's a cool guy though. Don't know what he sees in my sister but a great guy. I love how he shares Rory's name and profession and gets the jokes but's never seen the show!!!
I have watched universes freeze and creations burn. I have seen things you wouldn't believe. I have lost things you will never understand.... This part, I started tearing up a little
To be honest, I would like his Doctor to go out in an upbeat way. It's his style in my opinion, this song would be a great regeneration theme I agree, but to have the 11th Doctor's theme playing with him excited for change in my opinion would be a really cool way of presenting the scene. :P
I should set this as my alarm clock song. "Wake up, wake up...."
Way ahead of you on that one lol I set it last year straight after the episode was aired :)
it also says rest now ......
Alaura D I did it 8D
.............now im setting my alarm to this so i can sleep until it says wake up.
Hearing this song as eleven regenerate torn me up a lot inside.
We'll always remember when the doctor was you, Matt.
This isn't the song, though. The song was "Infinite potential"
***** No, but Infinite Potential included a few cues of this.
Rest now, my warrior, let the cloack of life cling to your bones...¡Live! TToTT
I'm sorry, but your avatar just cracks me up XD
***** Mine? I believe it's from one of the videos on my channel. "Skype Shenanigans" or something like that.
“We all change, when you think about it, we are all different people all through our lives and that’s okay that’s good you’ve gotta keep moving so long as you remember all the people that you used to be."
very inspiring words
yes doctor.. yes. we will never forget when the doctor was you
In memory of 11, you will be missed, you mad-man.
Listening because of the bit when Amy walks down the stairs at the end of The Time of The Doctor.
this is my favorite doctor who song
Oh, I think that "Doomsday" is the best.
Fun probably-not-true theory time:
The Long Song was chosen at the Rings of Ahkaten, not to appease/quell the Parasite God but as an attempt to support/relay as message to the Doctor. His actions have taken the name "Doctor" to translate as "Warrior" in many languages; he asked to be a Warrior for the Time War; he could be the Warrior they refer to in the song.

Just a theory, but I like the thought.
That is a fun theory, I have two questions for it
One, do u still believe it after six years,
An two, if so, what could “wake up” be representing?
I think Matt regenerating to this song was really the final straw for me emotionally. I sobbed. I'll miss you, Matt Smith! #myfirstdoctor #valeundecim
When i grow up, i wanna be someone big.
and when i die.... i want this song to be played so everyone hears it! ;_;
Dammit, now I will have to decide between this one and the Imperial march from Star Wars...
Furzkampfbomber idiot ... :DD
:D
Furzkampfbomber
Wenn der geile Name auf dem Grabstein steht ist der Song total egal. :DD
I'm thinking of "Stayin' Alive" or "Another One Bites the Dust" for my funeral. Maybe both?
Raggedy Man,
Goodnight
My feels right now !
Go to your room !
Perfect choice for 11's regeneration.
Listening to this again after watching The Night of the Doctor, I was suddenly struck by the realization that this song is eluding to Hurt's Doctor. "Rest now, my *Warrior*." Moffat and Gold, you geniuses.
Even more powerful when you consider the very next line: "Rest now, your shame is over."
*hardship, but same difference. :)
everytime there is a chorus in Doctor Who, its an OVERWHELMING song, Old Rugged Cross from "Grimlock", the "Song of Freedom" from "planet of the Oods" and this one, they all managed to hit the spot that make us all emotional and warm inside.
"Song Of Freedom" is from Journey's End
Maria Zdort
kinda, its half of an entire music, called "Song of captivity and freedom" and the first half is sung in the planet of the Oods.
Ergotth The Mark Chambers vocals version of the Song of Freedom was at the end of Planet of the Ood. The chorus version was in Journey’s End.
The chorus of this song plays during Matt Smith's regeneration. Super strong feels.
Wished they played this song a bit longer when Smith regenerates to Capaldi.
It's always like this though. They 1st hate the new guy, then they like them, then they adore him. The fandom regeneration cycle. I mildily didn't care much for Matt at first, but I grew to love him like all other Doctor's that pass through the TARDIS doors.

wb now?
i just remembered eleven's speech and I'm crying
I know it was late in his run but this episode is when I really honestly accepted 11. This song gives me shivers, it's so beautiful.
Just listening to this song makes me cry, I honestly think it perfectly captures the entire spirit of the show.
10 says he lived too long. Poor 11 he will probably do anything can do avoid regenerating. He's been 11 for too long now, he's becoming fully infused to him and will be deadly within it self to uproot that. And 12 will suffer from that. Because 11's soul, just 11 will haunt him, long then 10 did. The nightmares and agh feels
Wasn't this sung on the Rings of Akhaten? Also, this song broke both my hearts and brought me to tears. I love powerful songs ♥
oh I know, and it only adds to tthe feels
***** No, that was Infinite potential, the instrumental version.
Aaronmaster1239 Thanks~!
"Raggety man... goodnight."
Raggedy Man....goodnight.
god, every time that choir kicks in i get goosebumps all over my body.
One hell of a song!
Finally, found the full song. It's so emotional because the song wasn't directed at the "parasite" sun, but rather at the Doctor.

Right in the feels
I swear, if some of these songs or variations of aren't played during Eleven's regeneration or Clara's departure, I'm going to be very disappointed because they're SO MOVING, it's insane!
lunayoshi
you got what you asked for
I did! I flailed; it was amazing. :) Not the exact song I was hoping for but heck, Infinite Potential is gorgeous and works just fine.
Never forget.... your time as the doctor Matt will always be remembered just as well as David's time. We will remember all the times you made the audience laugh. It will be so memorable, the man who ate fish fingers and custard, the man who yelled "Look at me! I'm a target!". No matter what, we will always remembered the fact that YOU were the doctor.

I just played this youtube video beside the end of time episode where David regenerates. Hit start when you first see ood sigma... mute the video and only turn it up when there is vocals but not all the way.. It is just heart crushing.
Hey! Why'd ya call me that? I only said that it was something I did.. can't help if you are foolish enough to try it yourself.
QoQ Yay!
Seems like the showmakers thought the same thing as you. An instrumental version of this came back during Eleven's regeneration. And it is heart-crushing indeed.
AHHHHHHHH WHY DID THEY PLAY THIS FOR MATT
I WAS SOBBING
Not really. David's regeneration was already melodramatic as hell, and this song didn't even fit his emo Doctor. :-/
This song is exactly like the Song of Freedom, but for the Eleventh Doctor. It's an emotional song that is sung by people he is freeing from slavery. And it returns during his regeneration.
Murray Gold, you've done it again, you beautiful sonuvagun!
My cat got sick and I had to put her down today, and I thought of this song, it's both a nice and sad song, I'm crying a bit right now. Rest In Peace BUFFY, your hardship is over.may you find peace, I Love You Little Girl :(
I'm sorry for your loss *hugs*

Juste un mot....magnifique.... :'''')
Len Zarbio Pauvre français perdu entre les anglais..

Rest now.....my warrior.
Rest now, hardship is over.
Live. Wake up. Wake up.
And let the cloak, of life -- cling to your bones. Cling to your bones.
Wake up, wake up.
Live. Wake up. Wake up.
And let the cloak, of life -- cling to your bones. Cling to your bones
Wake up. Wake up!
Live! Wake up! Wake up!
And let the cloak! Of life! Cling to your bones! Cling to your bones!
Wake up! Wake up!
Cling to your bones!
Wake up! Wake up!
This is most likely going to be 11's regeneration theme, much like Vale Decem was for 10. Just listen to the lyrics, it fits so perfectly. *Tears up*
yep
these comments are depressing, now I'm imagining this playing while 11 regenerates and now I can't stop crying!!
this literally makes me so emotional
Variation of this in the 2013 christmas special.. My life is complete :)
A gorgeous song of resurrection. The Doctor Lives!
Matt, you are and always will be my Doctor. Thank you for the starlit memories
So glad they used Infinite Potential with parts that sounded like this. Perfect choice for the really very emotional experience of Eleven regenerating ;(
So it was 11's regenerations music...
almost..
I caught myself reciting the speech from memory, and I got the emotions just right
this song calms me down
The one dislike was Grandfather.
the second is the vampire alarm clock
Teared up watching the amazing episode today
can you hear them?
all these people who lived in terror of you and your judgment.....
all these people who's ancestors devoted themselves, sacrificed themselves to you....can you hear them singing?
I will always remember when The Doctor was you, raggedy man :'(
This gives me chills every time.
omg
I'm not crying, I just have a branch in my eye
Better than Infinite Potential this song can makes you cry when ever you listen it.
, *Rose* You shouldn't of left me, but im glad to see you :D
*Rose and doctor kiss xD*
*Amy* Raggedy man, Goodnight!
Chills every time... D':
When I make my first public speech, this will be my background music. I owe myself that.
This song is a plea for the doctor to live so he can protect people BUT EVEN IF HE DIES HE WILL LIVE ON IN ALL OF HIS companion S HEARTS AND THE HEARTS OF ALL THE PEOPLE HE SAVED
LONG LIVE THE DOCTOR
I love that song so much :) thanks for upload :D
pretty much just bawled my eyes out because I thought about this song and eleven's regeneration nope I can't
Każdy z nas ma od początku życia kilka wcieleń. Każdy z nas z biegiem czasu zmienia się aż zrozumie że ze złem trzeba walczyć, walczyć dobrem, nie bronią. Każdy kto się rozwija przechodzi swoją własną reinkarnacje dzięki której odradza się jako nowy człowiek.
Perfect alarm clock custom sound
The Long Song makes me tear up every time.

One of the best scenes of Matt Smith's era, so powerful, and this with the speech is beautiful :D Love it, Murray Gold is a genius. And the episode The Rings of Akhatan is great too
i just love it
Chills... This is a beautiful piece!
I love Doctor Who
+ whovian me too
"Your hardship is over" YAY LYRICS. I remember back when we were trying to figure out what Merry was saying there. :)
Considering what's apparently happening at Christmas, this song would be damn appropriate for 11's death... I was against it being used at first with it perhaps being too 10th Doctor-y, but knowing what's going to happen, everything 11 shall lose, if this music, or a variation of it, doesn't play, it will be a great shame and a missed opportunity.
im not disagreeing with you, but what exactly is the 11th doctor loosing more than any of the other doctors?
HDxMeDalzz
Spoilers ;)
Trayusstudent1 you saying spoilers is another way of saying 'i have no idea'
HDxMeDalzz Well, he has been through much turmoil with losing Amy and Rory, River, probably gonna lose Clara as well, dealing with the Pandorica, The Silence, Trenzalore, etc. So we'll see what happens.
HDxMeDalzz
I could tell you if you wanted, but it's one of those things that's unbelievable when you read it... like for example, the Cyberhead in the promo pic will be The Doctor's companion on Trenzalore over the many many years he's there. He's called Handles.
Bone chillingly good it gives me the chills
Such a beautiful song
There already were glorious moments in 11's era. But none topped this episode's speech. Not even the farewell to Amy.
This Song gives me Hope. I dont felt Hope for 2 years. 1 Moment in two years. But thats all
You can always trust Murray Gold to make epic music.
;-)
that song was beautiful wow
Look...I don't really like Doctor Who, but I can't deny that this song is AMAZING
Why is there no 'play on a loop' button?

You wonderful human.

Thanks for uploading
smes here brings a tear to my eye every time :
Emotionally brilliant!
Fun fact: I'm a Doctor Who fan and I've got a brother-in-law named Rory who's a nurse. He's not married to an Amy but my sister's name is Ashley so that's another A I guess. Another fun fact: he doesn't watch Doctor Who so he's never seen the Doctor Who Rory. He does know about him as he gets a lot of Doctor Who jokes at work though!!! I asked.
Have you ever tried to get him to dress up like a centurion?
No sadly not. He's a cool guy though. Don't know what he sees in my sister but a great guy. I love how he shares Rory's name and profession and gets the jokes but's never seen the show!!!
Beautiful
Doctor Who can be so emotional, i cry everytime. And at Doomsday.
I have watched universes freeze and creations burn. I have seen things you wouldn't believe. I have lost things you will never understand....
This part, I started tearing up a little
I want this song at my funerals.
I sang this into google's "what's this song" thingy for fun, and IT CAME UP💀. I must just be really good at singing 💅💅
This is a charming, incredibly. I cry a little :)
I love dis song
A future that never got lived.
Dam I miss Matt, that mad man in his big blue box...
Love this!
To be honest, I would like his Doctor to go out in an upbeat way. It's his style in my opinion, this song would be a great regeneration theme I agree, but to have the 11th Doctor's theme playing with him excited for change in my opinion would be a really cool way of presenting the scene. :P
really, you had to say this, really? now I can't listen to this without crying. God I was gonna be cool
Perfect regeneration song.
Crying hysterically
crap, i think my replay button is broken :P
Crying a little right now.
THEY DID IT GUYS, SCREW EVERYTHING, I'M DONE
