Most film directors don't know how to use music in their work. Here, with his superb use of this beautiful song sung by Renee Fleming, McDonagh has joined the greats like Weir, Beresford, Noyce et al. in showing that music and film can be merged to great emotional effect. Of the many ways this film transcended the ordinary, the music played a large part in making it pure art.
There is a special place in a special HELL for such CLODS. I have known and loved the song all my long life, I saw the movie last year on a flight back from England where we attended the funeral of my wife’s younger sister. What with that and Covid it was a melancholy time, but this glorious song saved us.
Beautiful voice and nice choice of music for this powerful film. Music and lyrics written by the Anglo-Irish composer Thomas Moore. Haunting song with much emotion.
Last Rose of Summer 'Tis the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions are faded and gone; No flow'r of her kindred, No rosebud is nigh To reflect back her blushes, Or give sigh for sigh. I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, To pine on the stem; since the lovely are sleeping, Go, sleep thou with them; Thus kindly I scatter Thy leaves o'er the bed Where thy mates of the garden Lie senseless and dead. So soon may I follow, When friendships decay, And from love's shining circle The gems drop away! When true hearts lie wither'd, And fond ones are flown, Oh! who would inhabit This bleak world alone?
The song is Irish. Ireland does melancholy better than everybody. The author Tom Moore saw his 10 children die in childhood. The lyrics sum up his anguish. The melody is an even older Irish air from the 1700's.
Film und Lied sind eine Klasse für sich . Man spürt wie vergänglich die Jugend und der Mensch an sich ist . Bei diesem Lied läuft mein Leben wie in einem Film noch einmal in meinen Gedanken ab . Mit seinen Höhen und Tiefen . Aber beides gehört zusammen . Wenn dir kein Leid widerfährt , wirst du das Glück nie zu schätzen wissen !
ПОСЛЕДНЯЯ РОЗА ЛЕТА Последняя роза лета Цветет в одиночестве. Все её красивые подруги Отцвели и умерли. Рядом нет её близких, Ни одного бутона, Чтобы вспоминать вместе о цветении Или обменяться вздохами. Я не оставлю тебя Засыхать в одиночестве. Все красавицы спят, Засыпай вместе с ними. Я разбросаю Твои листья над той кроватью, Где твои подруги по саду Лежат безмолвны и мертвы. И может быть, я скоро последую за тобой, Когда друзья отвернутся, А драгоценные камни Выпадут из блистающего круга любви. Когда верные сердца лежат разбитые, А процветают мелкие души, То кто же будет жить В этом мрачном мире одиночества?
One of the greatest movies of all time
My father came to America from Ireland in 1928. This was one of his favorite pieces. Can anyone doubt why.
Lovely Renée Fleming’s LOVELY VOICE!!!

Brought me to tears

This scene alone was enough to get this movie in the Best Picture Category.
It's still such BS that it didn't win. Probably the best movie of the past ~6 years, hands down.

Last Rose of Summer
'Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
are faded and gone;
No flow'r of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh.
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To pine on the stem;
since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them;
Thus kindly I scatter
Thy leaves o'er the bed
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie senseless and dead.
So soon may I follow,
When friendships decay,
And from love's shining circle
The gems drop away!
When true hearts lie wither'd,
And fond ones are flown,
Oh! who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?
Miran Miklavič Thank you.
Heard this yesterday, knew it was of loss and pain, reading the words makes it achingly beautiful. Thanks mate.
Thank you good sir.

This song makes me feel America.

A song written just a few miles from me by Thomas Moore while he was staying in jenkinstown house Co killkenny
ПОСЛЕДНЯЯ РОЗА ЛЕТА
Последняя роза лета
Цветет в одиночестве.
Все её красивые подруги
Отцвели и умерли.
Рядом нет её близких,
Ни одного бутона,
Чтобы вспоминать вместе о цветении
Или обменяться вздохами.
Я не оставлю тебя
Засыхать в одиночестве.
Все красавицы спят,
Засыпай вместе с ними.
Я разбросаю
Твои листья над той кроватью,
Где твои подруги по саду
Лежат безмолвны и мертвы.
И может быть, я скоро последую за тобой,
Когда друзья отвернутся,
А драгоценные камни
Выпадут из блистающего круга любви.
Когда верные сердца лежат разбитые,
А процветают мелкие души,
То кто же будет жить
В этом мрачном мире одиночества?
Maravilhoso filme e música.
Yes.
Восхитительно
That scene though
Huggies
Mildred Hays perhaps?
