Imagine a woman who'd been told she couldn't have babies, who'd really, really wanted them all her life. Then theres a sort of miracle and she has a baby, and she holds this baby very close to her and walks around singing. 'Baby, Never let me go...'
@@QT5656 I think they're saying "You're lying" like "Omg no way!".... I've been reading about and coming back to this song every once in a while for 7 years and it just occurred to me that in the book the lyrics include a reference to "baby". But it's not in this video version. Guess I'm going back to google to figure out this mystery!
The story about this song. There is NOT a real "Judy Bridgewater"-It is a fictional name. This is sung by JANE MONHEIT (American Jazz Singer) Written by Luther Dixon. There have been many songs titled "Never let me Go" going back over 50+ yrs, but all different from this version. The woman pictured on the cassette tape is the british actress RAE BAKER. The tape was made by the production designer of the movie, in incredible detail.
ruclips.net/video/ZxHIvxwJjYM/видео.html The “Judy Bridgewater” song is Janet Monheit singing a cover of this Lloyd Price song specifically for this film.
It’s so plain. So banal. On a second reading it’s pretty much laid out there from the start; these are human meat bags, grown to be harvested. That ultimately the Hailsham “crops” were a social experiment to prove their humanity, that they had a soul, is just crushing. Their lives were never even considered real, they were make believe to be ignored. They were human organ farms, cloned, and taught to paint pretty pictures and write poetry. Never once is it mentioned learning math or science or history or anything beyond reading(approved literature) and art. But most weren’t. Only a few well funded schools were financed and given permission to try and prove the clones were human beings. And they failed. Imagine the multitudes of humans grown and harvested? How man children? How many infants? How many teenagers and adults in would take to fulfill the need for organ transplants! And then there’s the black market and even open market. If it’s sanctioned what’s to prevent a free market organ auction. And then a few hundred were allowed to be humans instead of chattel. It’s so simplistic but it says so much about our species’ devouring nature. Man that book messes with me.
I am Brazilian. I watched the film 13 years ago just because I love cinema. I finished the book a few hours ago and it just destroyed me. Something in my mind related to the feeling of losing my 3-month-old niece in 2020. So many regrets and sorrows. Sometimes I reserve a moment for tears. Today was one of those moments. I loved both versions. The film was the first great performance I saw from Andrew Garfield. The book showed me the knowledge of the human soul that Kazuo Ishiguro has had since Remains of The Day. I will never forget it
The way that Tommy's metaphor about two people holding onto each other to avoid being carried away by the current but eventually have to let go mirrors this song perfectly was the most heartbreaking detail in this book.
I heard the story on the radio a few years ago and am I’m reading it now after being unable to move on from John Irving’s ‘ A Prayer for Owen Meany’ 😂 😢
I feel like someone ripped my heart out of my chest and put it back again..I'm not sobbing because its back and I'm not going to die but it hurts so damn much and I'll never be the same...I feel empty I feel overwhelmed... This book will forever own a part of me.
It's a shame that they couldn't match such a simple lyric to the lyric in the novel . . . "Baby, Baby, Never Let Me Go." It's actually critical to Kathy H's interpretation of the song and this fictional recreation for the movie missed that point completely . . .
Dan Drake Actually this song wasn't written for the film. I found out it's a real old song, so they basically just covered an already existing song with the same name for the film. I heard it play in a pub the other day sang by a male vocalist which sparked my interest so I looked it up and it was originally sang by Lloyd Price.
I just thought that I'd add my two cents: There is some room to debate, and I think that it's a valid position to have, that there is a great deal of reference to memory throughout the book. Kathy is fairly insistent throughout the book that she may or may not remember things accurately, as they happened. She isn't a very reliable narrator. Her mis-remembering the lyrics of the song and creating her own would certainly line up with her character. I am not totally sure that it wasn't intentional. Another point, though, is that in the 2016 Japanese version of this work (series drama, I believe), this song is actually correct in terms of lyrics (though it's lightyears off in terms of the actual music). So, I think there is probably wiggle room there for a "choose your interpretation" there. I don't think it needs to be right or wrong, it may have been intentionally done and left for that reason. Great book though, worth multiple reads.
I wanted to listen to this song since reading Ishiguro's novel... but I can't not listen to this song without crying because of it. Never Let Me Go is truly a powerful book, and listening to this song... I can share the same feelings as Kathy.
Darling, hold me, hold me, hold me And never, never, never let me go. Darling, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me And never, never, never let me go. Lock my heart, throw away the key Fill my love with ecstasy. Bind my heart with your warm embrace And tell me no one would ever take my place. Darling, tell me, tell me, tell me You'll never, never, never, Never, never, never...
@@sohsiouxmii5945 The film tied it to Kathy's feelings for Tommy, left out Madame's reaction and Ruth replacing the tape, then made Ruth look envious and less complex than the book.
Darling, Hold me, Hold me, Hold meeeeee, And never (never), Never (never), Never (never), Let me gooooo Darling, Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss meeeeee, And never (never), Never (never), Never (never), Let me gooooo Lock my heart Throw away the key Fill my love with exthasy Bind my heart With your warm embrace And tell me, No one Will ever take my place Darling, Tell me, Tell me, Tell meeeee You'll never, never, never Never Let Me Go Querido, Me abraçe, Me abrace, Me segure, E nunca (nunca), Nunca (nunca), Nunca (nunca), Deixe-me ir.

Marque meu coração Jogue a chave fora Encher o meu amor com exthasy Ligue meu coração Com o seu abraço caloroso E diga-me, Ninguém Nunca vai tomar o meu lugar Querido, Diga-me, Diga-me, Diga-me Você nunca, nunca, nunca
Um livro triste, mas ao mesmo tempo um livro lindo!! Me senti ali naquele momento, apenas observando Kathy dançando com o que há de mais puro em seu coração..
Like everyone else, the book brought me here. Listening to this song I can’t help but think of Kathy dancing with her pillow and it’s so haunting a beautiful. Kazuo Ishiguro created and sustained an atmosphere and tone in that book that completely enveloped me. I finished it last night and had trouble sleeping because I was so filled with emotion.
I’m reading the book and just came across 😢the scene in which she is dancing holding the pillow and Madame is watching her and sobbing. Had to hear the song. In the portugueses translation, it says baby instead of darling.
Everytime I listen to this, it makes me relax and the thought of young Kathy in the movie, embracing the music for the first time, makes my heart beat slow. Lol
i saw the movie without knowing there was a book. now im finally reading the book (loving it) and felt the sudden urge to listen to this. it's very good.
Fun fact, it exists but it also doesn't. Judy Bridgewater was invented by Kazou Ishiguro. So the song was actually made for the movie. Making it a real song but also a fake song at the same time :)
Man I wish I'd have listened to this while reading the book. It is not how I imagined it. It's so much better and adds to the heartbreak of the pillow scene
Nix Suttclif It takes all of oneself to ask for true love,.. but sadly is never coming back from the one you think that loves you,... Amazing is that we are who we love, not who loves us,....
It's around 2-16 AM - And I'm watching a movie - Just saw the young boy give the young girl a tape And thats why I'm here to see what music was on the tape - And just found out they are born to ... Well I won't spoil it for you but what a terrible thought ! Thanks for sharing good night !

Good one lmao
Seems like an attachment disorder to me.
Kathy's favorite song xD
Everyone... this isn't a real "vintage" song. It was produced for the movie version of Never Let Me Go. Still a wonderful song.
Janet Wang Actually it's originally by Lloyd Price and is from the 1960s. Have a listen to the original it's great!

Honestly, I love this level of detail for something most people would not think about after watching the movie.
That’s so cool. I had no idea!
Who else was chilled by this book? It made me cry.
I just finished and I'm still crying, this song doesn't make it any better too Xd
I’ve read it about 4 times already and it gets more emotional every time.
I was sobbing uncontrollably by the last few chapters
damn right

Man that book messes with me.
Let me go film music
-throw the music on the second you read about it in the book
-keep reading about what happens next

Me too.
Im still scare to read the book, im sure my heart cant take it 😭😭
To my surprise this song really exist.
+Eddie Gooch song is fictional
Unfortunately, it is only real in the world of Kathy. Not like an actual song that was later used in the movie. But yes, it's still a beautiful song!
No, it does exist. A woman sang it for the movie, but lloyd price wrote (or at least sang it) in the 60s!!
+thurtme really? my teacher said she looked it up and the song isn't real. it was created so that the movie had a song.
The song is real it's sung by llyod price. look it up on youtube you idiots
It has been two months since I've finished the book and still can't move on. The pain is very much real, sir.
I heard the story on the radio a few years ago and am I’m reading it now after being unable to move on from John Irving’s ‘ A Prayer for Owen Meany’ 😂 😢

I got the same feeling just from watching the film 😳
Now I have to read the book, which will undoubtedly be even stronger.
The intense emphasis placed in the novel on the feelings and instances we usually overlook IRL is what makes it all the more unique and special.
Who is reading the book in 2019?
Me 😁
omg me
Ja też:)
me!
Me. Forced by School but now that I got in to it, it is one of the best book I've ever read....well the best I've ever read.
Am listening to this song on repeat while reading “never let me go” am currently at chapter eight and I’m enjoying it very much.
Interesting that the "Baby baby"-part, from the book, does not exist in the song.

I agree but for the purposes of the (not great) movie, I'd rather they cover a great older song than write a mediocre new one.
*My head is shaking automatically listening to this song just like Kathy*
They did an outstanding job giving this song a classic feel. The first time I listened to it, I could have sworn I had heard it before.
I just finished reading Never Let Me Go and I'm finally listening to this. It's breaking my heart even more 💔
I'm at this part in the book where she just mentioned this song. 😱
Congrats for Ishiguro on winning the Nobel prize!~
Thanks, I didn't know.
This movie made me cry my fucking eyes out. The song and the emotions lingered for a long time after.
