I Loved this film! Bravo!!
I really was very moved by the song played during the final credits.
I believe it is called, These Are the Words.
Where can I find it? The lyrics? A recording??
It is Patti Smith’s song. I bought the movie sound track on iTunes ($9.99) to get it. Lots of bonus tracks. Worth it.
I bought the soundtrack album on iTunes but the Patti Smith song These are the Words did not download. What is up?
who was the singer in the mosque, toward the end of the film, accompanied by a young girl? Hauntingly beautiful!
I found that powerful, too. I’d be interested to know, as well. Anyone know how to purchase the scores of some of these songs?
Hi Cynthia, hi Allison,
I happened to come across the full-lenght Video 🙂
This was during Pope Francis’ Visit in Georgia. It’s the “Our Father” sung by a syric orthodox priest and a young girl, in Aramaic language:

Maybe this prayer will accompany you – it’s comes so deep from the heart!

Thank you so so much! I don’t know how many hours I’ve spent trying to find this song… It is not included in the OST, I though it would be impossible.
Thank you, really! 🙂
