For those needing a concentrated dose of saltiness in their ears: "Deadwood's Favorite Word"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4D3UdxM3OU I watched two episodes--quite good but if they bleeped out every obscenity, you'd swear you were listening to Morse code. |
| Imkirok (The Arctic Hinter Land) | Posted: May 16, 2013 - 11:48 I loved Deadwood and am still upset they never filmed the final season. |

| k8ling1114 (Puget Sound, Washington) | Posted: Nov 21, 2012 - 22:33 every time i hear this my mind conjures up images of driving through dreary, lush, ocean-front countryside. usually, my co-pilot is tall, dark, handsome, and silent, and we're going somewhere epic with no plans of return. sigh, i love this song. |
| BibKiller | Posted: Nov 12, 2012 - 16:36 man its been sleepy music ALL day |

My new LOVE is "Hell On Wheels", which features a theme song by Gustavo!!!! And many other great songs played throughout, most I recognize from RP (thanks Bill). |
| Nuance (Winnipeg) | Posted: Sep 10, 2012 - 18:37 There's a subtle melody line. How can you not hear that. Musically illiterate? Gamelan would really throw you for a loop lol Blastcat900 wrote: It's like the song never really begins.. just a lonnnnnnnnnng intro. I got tired of it. I'm a bit ADD.. give me a bit of variety in song or I tend to fall asleep. And yeah, enough with the noodling. Pass. |
| beerbear (Arctic Circle County, Norway) | Posted: Aug 10, 2012 - 07:13 The song helps me to remember the best international drama film I ever seen! It is more than a film, it is a new dimension. The films director Alejandro Gonzaliez Iñárritu is one of the greatest, and the soundtrack is deep as the drama is. |

| ottovonb | Posted: Jul 26, 2012 - 12:31 A great song from a very thought-provoking movie (Babel). Check it out if you haven't seen it. |

Every time I hear the beginning of this song, I get chills and then lock all the doors and try to find my happy-place. It's so ominous-sounding! I love it, but it's almost painful. I probably don't make any sense, so shutting up now. I miss you so much, Ann... rest in peace... |
| Dinges,_the_Dude (below sea-level, N52°37', E4°88') | Posted: Jul 02, 2012 - 01:11 Maybe this music is good when you see the movie or have seen the movie. |
| rdo (DC) | Posted: Jun 17, 2012 - 13:47 This sounds practically like a (wonderful) cover version of Recuerdos de la Alhambra by the Spanish composer Francisco de Asís Tárrega y Eixea. |

rrrright! those IMHO are so much better … e.g. "De Usuahia a la Quiaca", and "La Partida" |
| Mahati (South Germany) | Posted: Jun 12, 2012 - 14:54 Amazing music. —This piece is touching my heart and soul. ![]() |

Did someone else physically type it for you or were you just plagiarizing a comment that 'critics' have been tossing around for centuries? Oh, wait, were you referring to this song? |
| DaveInVA (In a hovel in effluent Damnville, VA) | Posted: Apr 29, 2012 - 09:44 Sounds like he was trying to learn a Led Zeppelin song and got stuck at this point. |

| Onur (Sivas) | Posted: Mar 09, 2012 - 10:04 This is also sountrack of Amores Perros (2000), while the film ending this song starts and takes me to the anathor world. |

| buddy | Posted: Jan 01, 2012 - 12:44 Gustavo is amazing. I highly recommend breaking out of the Babel soundtrack and into his broader work. Check him out on youtube and go from there. |

The whole story in Japan was preposterous. The Blanchett/Pitt sequence was completely depressing. The attempts to be "arty" came across as just that. Almost every character in the movie was dysfunctional and unlikeable. I hated everything about the movie, except for this music. Yuck, yuck, yuck! I recommend this movie to folks that I want to ensure will not be my friends! (am i clear enough?) But everyone has different tastes. Go figure! And I thought I was the only one... A part of the recommending part (though I like the black humor of this :) ) each of your words are my thoughts about this movie |
