I just want to ask, why isn`t "Through The Dark" by Alexi Murdoch included in this CD? Such song is by far the best tune that we can hear on this movie, and I say this even with the fact that we only hear a bit of it at the end credits. My review is based on this sole missing song, overall this record is great by it`s own, but it would`ve been excellent with such song included. (As of today such song cannot be found anywhere).

Great CD, too bad its in limited numbers as more people should be able to enjoy it like me.

The moment the first note of the theme song came up on the screen, the moment this film started, tears started to fill my eyes... I knew that the directorial debut by Ben Afflict, "Gone Baby Gone, was going to be a Great Film. All you had to do was LISTEN. All you have to do is HEAR. You will be transported from the land of the living to the land of innocence lost and long gone and the longing for what we knew long ago and far away... it's that place we all know and long to return to that doesn't have a name.

You don't even have to watch the screen, even though you wouldn't want to miss a frame... the soundtrack follows every fast-paced twist and turn down the rushing river that takes us on this tale of "right and wrong."

The story is a heartbreaking morality play, about the choices that we make when none of them seem right. You could be a blind person and not have to watch a frame; just sit and listen and you would know the tale of love, longing and loss, and right and wrong and how we sometimes try to do our best. This is one of the best film and soundtrack I've heard and watched in a long, long time. * * * * *
