@gali ~ Dedicated to Alan Rickman

I know this song was originally written for Paul Walker, but I want to dedicate this song to another great actor which I liked and recently passed away. RIP Alan Rickman! I will always remember you.

Album

Furious 7 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)


My Comments

I love this song! I can totally relate to gali dedicating it to Alan Rickman because this song was all over my playlist when I lost an important friend to jail over the summer. It is one of those songs that even though the creators had a specific person in mind can actually relate to other people and even other situations. I think that's what makes for great poetry, great music, and great art: When someone can take their particular experience and translate it into their art so other people can relate.


What do you think?

Thank you and I totally agree with you.

Aw...Alan Rickman. You were such a great actor. Hope you are finding peace wherever you are.

I actually couldn't pinpoint the song by title alone. But, when I started to listen to it, then I recognized it. Very good pick!

So I saw F&F7 in Japan with my boyfriend and he didn't understand why I was crying over the final scenes and when this song came on. Apparently he didn't know that Paul Walker had died during the filming of the movie, so the final scenes where his character and the others go off on different roads and his car disappears on the horizon as the camera pans up to the sky was TOTALLY lost on him. But I think this song is just as beautiful tribute as that final scene.

It's a shame that I haven't seen any tributes to Alan Rickman yet.

It's a great song with amazing lyrics! And the combination between Wiz and Charlie is really nice too I cried also at the movie

Given the inspiration for this song choice I thought I'd share a scene from one of my favorite Alan Rickman movies, and as he sings in it I find it rather apt to share this one...

There's also a scene where he sings Raining in my Heart, which I would've preferred, but I couldn't find it

[Heidi M Simone]

This is a nice song and a cute scene. What movie is it?

It's Truly, Madly, Deeply.
Alan Rickman is her late husband. He comes back to help her move on. It's funny, and sad, and wonderful.
His character breaks my heart
I would go so far as to say it's one of my favorite movies (and I don't have "favorites").
And the last scene with him...

[Heidi M Simone]

It sounds like a good movie. I'll have to check it out! Thank you!

This song has hit me right in the heart from the first time I heard it, which was at the end of the last Fast and Furious movie that Paul Walker acted in before his death. I know that it was written for him as a tribute, but the song is more than that for me. I lost both of my brothers in a car accident about a month before Paul Walker passed away in his accident. Both of my brothers loved good-looking cars and the Fast and Furious movies, and the combination of the movie with the song brought me to tears in the theater. It is a very emotional song that is well written and describes pretty much how I felt after losing my brothers. The radio stations played it out a bit, but it still hits me in the heart every time I hear it.

I really love this song. Even though I'm not a rap music kind of person, this song is so emotional and moving. My hat goes off to you Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth.

[Mely918]

Not a personal favorite of mine, but I do like the message. It's melancholic, yet hopeful. It's a good song to listen to when feeling down over having to say goodbye to someone.

[Gravy]

Alan Rickman has been on my mind a lot recently. Had to watch one of his movies the other day. Wasn't enough.
