"You turned up on my doorstep, with a new haircut and a suit. You took me to Darillium to see the singing towers. Oh, what a night that was! The towers sang and you cried. You wouldn't tell me why, but I suppose you knew it was time. My time. Time to come to the Library,"
I cried throughout the whole episode... First with joy, and then, at the end, when I realised what was going on I cried because this was the end of their story together... I was so sad afterwards! Still am, I guess. Now their story really is told...
+halo marshall I hope so too, but I doubt it. Especially since River didn't know the doctor's face: So they couldn't have met before (in her time line) or after in any other regeneration after twelve... This is what really makes me sad. I was much more content with seeing her for the last time saying goodbye to eleven.

What did she actually wisper in his ear? And why would he lie about that while nobody else is around?
FaRo she did whisper his name though.... Am I missing something?
6 лет назад+3
He never actually told her his name. Spoiler: In the wedding scene it was "look in my eye" and there was no other scene were he was supposedly telling her his name.
FaRo I don't think it was the wedding where he told here it. Was it on trenzalore or something? I don't really remember anything of new who past season 5, I just sort of fell out of love with it a bit. I still adore 1-4 tho
6 лет назад+5
Oh, if you haven't watched it yet, you should definitely watch seasons 9 and 10. They are absolutely incredible. On Trenzalore River told the Tardis the Doctor's name through Clara. At least that is what's said, maybe the code was something else? Maybe she does know his name, but then I don't know how.
This is one of Murray Gold's best scores for New Who. It has a magical feel at the start, then gets into a more ominous vibe with the chorus version of "All the Strange Strange Creatures", and then last but not least it gets really emotional with the track from River's death.
+Dan3257 I do love 10 as well :) Actually I really couldn't choose between them and kind of get booth of them to the first place. Oh a few funny but really adorable info. When David was around 6 -7 Yo he had to make a homework about what He would like to be when he grown up. He has been write down how much He want's to play the Doctor's role and how much he loves the show and that He will become a Doctor one day lol. Peter is even worse. He has been fighting with the Doctor Who FANCLUB because he didn't deem them good enough to represent such a huge thing as Doctor Who. He would constantly send them letter from the time he was 11 to the time he was 17-19. He decided to create his own fanclub as well but it was smaller of course and they have a band too *cue season 9 ep. 1 cough cough. He would have a reporter who visited him to see what is going on because he was already famous about his letters and his obsession to play thee Doctor's part. He was always said every time from the age of 8 that he will become the Doctor. Now the riporter has been with him and that was the first time he said he will create his own fan club lol. He would always make some dress like a scarf from the 4th Doctor and so on to the recent Doctors and he would make it always on one place where they have been always knew what he would like to have. He's been the biggest geek of DW. But wait it's not all! When he finally got the role he was already a good friend to David Tennant. And he would always call David to make sure if He's acting is right and if he's lovable or will he become beloved by the fans or what should he do and so on. He called him over a HUNDREDS of times lol. David has been even made a joke that sometimes when he would see the number of the caller he would rather not take the phone but because he was so persistent he just couldn't ignore him. He finally told him to trust in himself because he's an amazing actor and He will be a great Doctor. That was the time when he finally started to take his own character into DW and he found a perfect balance of everything. Regardless who You like more (I can't decide for me booth of them first lol) It s really a funny story imo what they were like as a kid! :D
I think whoever your doctor is shapes you as a person more than you realize. I don't think I'll ever forget the sheer wonder and amazement I felt watching series 1-4 as a child.
I think what's great about Tennant is his incredible capacity for emotion. His anguish when the Master dies in his arms, when he didn't want to go... The later Doctors, brilliant though they have been, haven't held a candle to his acting in terms of emotion.
"This piece was used through the second half of the season and is structured around a melody that keeps returning to represent The Doctor's past love hinted at in Silence in the Library" a MELODY...
River's death became ten times more depressing and sad after knowing what happens in the next seasons. You don't know her at first, just like The Doctor doesn't. Then you learn who she is and what her history is and how she came to The Library. Then you rewatch this episode and bawl your eyes out because rather than viewing it as a side character's demise with no greater purpose to the plot other than these two episodes, she's a developed and beloved character who is properly sent off in a heroic and beautiful way.
Yes, exactly one of the reasons I love it, and one of my first thoughts on my second watch of it. The first time you see it, you are the doctor. You are where he is mentally and emotionally, which the same level of knowledge he has and can guess at. Then, second time around after watching it all, you are River. You've had (most of) the adventures, felt all the moments, written all the lines, and ran. And now you watch the Doctor who doesn't recognize her, and it aches. And then it aches all the more, because as the viewer, you know how it will end, as River herself comes to figure out in her final moments. Quite the masterful circle of a tale, and the episode is all the stronger for being able to being even more impactful in retrospect. I always appreciate media that changes completely the second time round when you consume it, after learning all there is to know. You go in again, as if consuming a completely new tale. Another example of this for me are the Death Gate Cycle books.
@@isbammoi3358 And imagine the bravery of Steven Moffat, to set out on that immense character arc with only the slimmest hope that he'd ever be able to complete it.
I've just read the description for this theme by the uploader and it says " This piece was used through the second half of the season and is structured around a 'melody' that keeps returning " I just thought that was really ironic and amazing at the same time ! :')
Also, anyone else think this has a good 'regeneration' feel to it? This could easily have been regeneration music until The Doctor Forever part kicked in.

To the west of the north of that world, the human race did gather, in the celebration of a pagan rite to banish the cold and the dark. Each and everyone of those people had dreamt of the terrible things to come, but they forgot … because they must. They forgot their nightmares of fire and war and insanity. They forgot... ...except for one...'
Before "The Name of the Doctor" aired, my prediction was it would be River's last episode. I realized that silence will fall when the question is asked, and the question is "Doctor Who?", which means that the name of the Doctor would be the answer to that question. The reason I predicted it would be River's last episode is because her death took place in SILENCE in the Library/Forest of the Dead, and silence falls after the question is asked (THE NAME OF THE DOCTOR.)
one of the best pieces used in DW. so epic and beautiful and full of emotion. I cry every time I hear this theme. :'-( Murray Gold is a genius. accept it
BlueBoxGems My teahcer had never seen New Who, just a bit of Classic, but yeah, we had to do an assignment on it and everything which was just amazing :D
Gresh113 It was for Philosophy class. We were studying theories of reality and existensialism and I thought it was pretty good for that. Turns out my teahcer liked it enough to show it to the class :D Of course, I then had to stop myself from having this enormous grin on my face the whole time we were watching it so as to not look like a total idiot
In my opinion, series 3 and 4 represent the pinnacle of Modern DW music. So many epic and iconic themes. I didn't really get into Doctor Who until 2017, but just listening to this song makes me feel nostalgic.
This is truly the most haunting and upsetting piece of Who music. River Song is one my favorite characters. I just rewatched this scene after I watched River leave to go to the Library. The fact that we all knew what would happen to her in the end is what makes this piece of music even more depressing when rewatching. Goodbye Sweetie.
The Doctor: Think, Donna; when you met Rose in that parallel world, what did she say? Donna: Just "the darkness is coming". The Doctor: Anything else? [Donna starts to think, then spots Rose in the distance behind the Doctor] Donna: Why don't you ask her yourself?
The build up in the first minute of this piece, then how it becomes so dramatic and dies back down to be quiet and sweet... it just gives me chills. Absolutely stunning.
I cannot stop listening to this it is just so damn perfect. I like to think that the title relates to Donna and her simulated family, as in its a story of her ideal life where she is happy and it sadly wasnt real. How depressing to then realise it has a double entendré for her time with the Doctor as well (pre-60th). Its bombastic as many of Gold's themes are but there is such a sadness to the track even in its highs. Its both majestic and melancholic which perfectly encapsulates 10 and Donna's relationship as they were the best of friends and were met with a terrible fate. Pain....
I know many people relate this music to the Doctor and River's relationship as this track plays during her death. But I like it more as a DoctorDonna thing no disrespect to Ms Song lmao
Jess Caron Watch *The Greatest Story Never Told*. Search *National Socialism The Greatest Story Never Told* on RUclips. Watch half an hour every day, since it's very long. I am not a troll.
+Artificial Intelligence Oh, i thought you were saying I meant Hitler instead of Ramsay Bolton and I was joking that Ramsay is so evil he's worse than Hitler. I'll check it out! What an unfortunate coincidence!
I lost it at 4:25... Now I'm a sobbing mess, and I'm SO grateful for it. This music deserves ours tears (and all of our other emotions, for that matter).
That part of the song is actually the Doctor Forever, as some one stated, that specific part plays in the Family of Blood at the end, when Timmy sees 10 and Martha at the memorial service. As for Martha's final scene in Series, the song that plays there is "Martha Triumphant" which is a truly beautiful piece
THIS MAKES ME CRY AND FIRED UP! IT'S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL AND AH GOSH I LOVE MURRAY GOLD SO MUCH. GETS ACROSS THE FIERY PASSION AND BRILLIANCE OF THE SERIES ACROSS SO WELL! (Sorry for the caps lock, I am currently blasting this out loud and am having the time of my life)
First time I saw River Song die, I was sort of, Oh that's sad. Another casualty. Then after season 6, I go back and watch it again.... bawling. Oh goodness... ;3;
It showed that in the mini 'Night' series. The current Doctor met a slightly future Doctor, who was taking River to see the singing towers, which we all know is just before the events of the library.
I was in tears... Like, REALLY in tears. The first time you watched this, you're just like 'Yup, she's dead' and then, you know how much she represents for the Doctor and what he means to her and it's so unfair!
Brilliant, thankyou very much. I've had a brainwave, memory has returned to me - I think it's at the end of Series Three Episode Thirteen when she gives the 'You'll see me again, mister!' speech. But what follows that is original and suitably epic. But yeah, thanks, I'll look that track up now!
I'm pretty sure it's a remix of part of Martha's Theme - or if not, then it's definitely been used in a scene with her in, like the one where she left at the end of series three. It would make sense and would fit into this kind of recurring motif that Murray's quote mentions.
Given that Moffat wrote that episode, along with most of Matt Smith's run, I'm not sure it's just a coincidence. Fun fact: There is an unofficial line of miniatures based on Doctor Who, in which the characters are named something a little bit different from their counterparts in DW (11 is 'Tweedy Mattison,' Rose is 'Daisy Taylor,' etc.). Before revealing her "real name" in the show, their version of River Song (from her appearance in Silence in the Library) was called 'Melody Lake'...
=) Guys, full credit to Murray, right? 'Cause without him, Doctor Who wouldn't be Doctor Who. Supposedly, its up to the actors and the writers to make the show a success or a catastrophe. But with Doctor Who, it's not good without an amazing soundtrack to go with it- luckily, Mr Gold delivers this every time. :)
@novelwriting (and ThatBlondePerson, MrMischiefter and anyone that wants to know), I believe the answer you are looking for is "The Doctor Forever". The start of which is very similar to Martha's theme, and has very likely been used in a scene with Martha at some point. I hope that helps :)
Everyone's talking about River and I'm just heartbroken over how Donna's husband couldn't call her because of his stutter.
"You turned up on my doorstep, with a new haircut and a suit. You took me to Darillium to see the singing towers. Oh, what a night that was! The towers sang and you cried. You wouldn't tell me why, but I suppose you knew it was time. My time. Time to come to the Library,"

I will never get over this bit of music. I love it so much
"I'LL FIND YOU! I PROMISE I'LL FIND YOU"
*proceeds to miss him by one second*
I absolutely love love this piece, probably my fave bit of Doctor who music.
Is it me or does Series 4 have the best music, Davies and Gold are gods
I love how little bits of music can be found with slight variations in a lot of the songs
4:06 Ssshhh... Spoilers.
Divizoro what did you do? Save her!
You took me to darillium with a new haircut and a suit. That should have been a clue, there's nothing you can do.
1:57 "Ott, az egy kamion! Az egy kamion, kamion! Hopsz, e! Ott, ni!"
Are you ok there?
Whaaaaaaaeaaaaaaaaa
4:11 is my favorite
Most beautiful piece of doctor who yet because it has a wonderful variety of stories all tied to one.
I lost it at 4:25... Now I'm a sobbing mess, and I'm SO grateful for it. This music deserves ours tears (and all of our other emotions, for that matter).
Really was the greatest story never told in the end. We only ever saw a handful of highlights.
4:16, simply stunning, how perfect were these soundtracks
That part of the song is actually the Doctor Forever, as some one stated, that specific part plays in the Family of Blood at the end, when Timmy sees 10 and Martha at the memorial service. As for Martha's final scene in Series, the song that plays there is "Martha Triumphant" which is a truly beautiful piece
THIS MAKES ME CRY AND FIRED UP! IT'S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL AND AH GOSH I LOVE MURRAY GOLD SO MUCH. GETS ACROSS THE FIERY PASSION AND BRILLIANCE OF THE SERIES ACROSS SO WELL! (Sorry for the caps lock, I am currently blasting this out loud and am having the time of my life)
Well, I think the title of this track is accurate. The bulk of River's time with the Doctor is not actually told.
Silence in the Library/ Forest of the Dead is one of the finest stories in Doctor Who history.
You just blew my mind, thanks.
gotta love that repeating melody!!! stuck in my head all day
So beautiful.
First time I saw River Song die, I was sort of, Oh that's sad. Another casualty. Then after season 6, I go back and watch it again.... bawling. Oh goodness... ;3;
It showed that in the mini 'Night' series. The current Doctor met a slightly future Doctor, who was taking River to see the singing towers, which we all know is just before the events of the library.
2:30 All the strange strange creatures but in choir form. I love it.
It can't be foreshadowing. Murray Gold said this in 2008, the plots for Series 6 with Melody was probably written in 2011.
Been looking for this song for a while!
Murray Gold: The British John Williams
This is absolutely brilliant!
this music always fills me with a sense of sadness and triumph. Because so many things flood into my mind...
this is my favourite ❤
I was in tears... Like, REALLY in tears. The first time you watched this, you're just like 'Yup, she's dead' and then, you know how much she represents for the Doctor and what he means to her and it's so unfair!
Now I just want to watch series 4 all over again.
This is bloody amazing!
Absolutely Fantastic!
The music is very moving in this series, I'll agree.
This is fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.
5:58
I'LL FIND YOU! I PROMISE YOU, I'LL FIND YOU!
Oh Donna and the stuttering man...
This is my absolute favorite Doctor Who piece
I love hearing returning themes in these sorts of songs - Martha's theme came back in this!!!
River you know my name... You whispered my name in my ear... 😭🥺❤️
spoilers
Brilliant, thankyou very much. I've had a brainwave, memory has returned to me - I think it's at the end of Series Three Episode Thirteen when she gives the 'You'll see me again, mister!' speech. But what follows that is original and suitably epic.
But yeah, thanks, I'll look that track up now!
I'm pretty sure it's a remix of part of Martha's Theme - or if not, then it's definitely been used in a scene with her in, like the one where she left at the end of series three. It would make sense and would fit into this kind of recurring motif that Murray's quote mentions.
1:48 onwards is the best part
River's life is sad and triumphant at the same time all the way through.
Given that Moffat wrote that episode, along with most of Matt Smith's run, I'm not sure it's just a coincidence.
Fun fact: There is an unofficial line of miniatures based on Doctor Who, in which the characters are named something a little bit different from their counterparts in DW (11 is 'Tweedy Mattison,' Rose is 'Daisy Taylor,' etc.). Before revealing her "real name" in the show, their version of River Song (from her appearance in Silence in the Library) was called 'Melody Lake'...
I nearly cried during the full episode D: And this music is so touching...
Doctor who was the greatest story :(
Crazy to think, that the River in the Library has already experience the events of the 50th anniversary. O.o
Steven Moffat knew what River Song was from the moment she entered doctor who.
Clever.
=) Guys, full credit to Murray, right? 'Cause without him, Doctor Who wouldn't be Doctor Who. Supposedly, its up to the actors and the writers to make the show a success or a catastrophe. But with Doctor Who, it's not good without an amazing soundtrack to go with it- luckily, Mr Gold delivers this every time. :)
@novelwriting (and ThatBlondePerson, MrMischiefter and anyone that wants to know), I believe the answer you are looking for is "The Doctor Forever". The start of which is very similar to Martha's theme, and has very likely been used in a scene with Martha at some point. I hope that helps :)
