The music at the end of the "The Message" is just too moving, a real masterpeice within Firefly. I was wondering if anyone else has had any luck in finding a raw version of the song? mp3 or whatever. I'd really like to have that, but no luck yet.

since I am tone deaf--i thought it sounded very much like the battlefield music in Serenity-about the time Mal is losing his faith

anyone else

Also, I can kill you with my brain.

I would love it if all the music was released on CD but I guess that`s still along way off if it happens at all.

Incidently according to the DVD, this was the episode that the crew found out that the series had been dropped by Fox - makes it even more sad

I hope the Movie Soundtrack appeals in the same way as the TV Series.

p.s. you may have to record the music off the DVD`s yourself - unless somebody here has done it before.

A few things on this. First, no music from Firefly has been released ... yet. The Fox Music store has been indicating for some time that something Firefly is coming, but nothing so far:

There are many of us that would dearly love to have themes like this available. You can express your interest by emailing to one or both of the addresses below:

foxmovies@fox.com
askfox@foxinc.com

If you haven't seen it yet, there is an excellent interview with Greg Edmonson about the Firefly music that you can read here:

http://www.tracksounds.com/specialfeatures/Interviews/interview_greg_e
dmonson.htm


Here's a relevant highlighted quote from the top of the page:

"There was a long cue at the end of The Message. It was a very sad cue for me. It was the scene where Tracy dies, but I didn't write that music for him. I wrote it for Firefly. I wrote it to say goodbye to Firefly. " ยป Greg Edmonson

When he wrote it, they knew the series had been cancelled and The Message would be the last episode filmed.

Sneaker98 has done a huge amount of work in at least making audio extractions from the DVDs available - check this thread:

HOWEVER, that server is unfortunately very, very intermitent - it seems to be down today. It was apparently working a week or so ago. I suggest checking back every so often - it's worth it. I have all of them loaded in my mp3 player and wouldn't want to be without them.

The server's been better than usual lately :)

But really, nothing beats an official soundtrack. Here's to hoping we'll see one

Oh, speaking of MP3 players, my Nomad is crammed with the firefly mp3's. Awesome to listen to, considering the length of time I spend waiting for buses

YT

the movie is not the Series. Only the facts have been changed, to irritate the innocent; the names of the actors and characters remain the same

Wow

That is so powerful, it's hard to write anything beyond "Wow". It broke my heart, all over again.
