Alan Silvestri - Cast Away Theme (Cast Away Soundtrack) [HQ]

The film's minimal score was composed by Alan Silvestri for which he won a Grammy Award in 2002. The film's soundtrack is most notable for its lack of score and creature sound effects (such as bird song or insect sounds) while Chuck is on the island, which is intended to reinforce the feeling of isolation. Cast Away contains no original musical score until Chuck escapes the island. However, there is a Russian choral piece heard near the start of the film that was not composed or even recorded by Silvestri, so it does not appear on the film's soundtrack list. It is a traditional Russian song written by Lev Knipper called "Oh, My Field" ("Polyushko, Polye") and it is available on various collections of Red Army hymns. The tracks in Silvestri's score are as follows:

[@noahandrews7874]

Seems dumb but this movie brought me out of depression in college. The line "And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?" was my motto. I felt like Chuck on that island, but I brought myself back. And now I'm graduated in a full time job. And I've found myself back on that island. I am listening to this to bring myself back again.

[@ktttttt]

I first watched it when I was 9. At that time I understood what happened but couldn't comprehend the emotional ordeals that Chuck went through. When I rewatched it for the first time at 11, I cried 5 times throughout the movie. The first time I cried rewatching it, Chuck was kissing his girlfriend. When I watched that, remembering how in the end he never got to be with her even though she was the thing that kept his will to live on the island I really couldn't help myself.

I first saw this movie 20 years ago. I nearly cried at the goodbye Wilson scene and for a long time thought it was the saddest/most powerful scene in the movie. Now 20 some years later, after rewatching, I have a different opinion. When Chuck manages to beat that final boss tide and is sailing away from the island and yells to himself that he made it and looks back at the island and the soundtrack kicks in for the first time, that moment bought me to tears because it was like finally making it past a hard/dull period in your life but looking back regardless how bad it was, you can't help but feel a bit nostalgic because for a while that was your life. The island was Chuck's home for 4 years. With the uncertainty of his future on the ocean, he knew that regardless of what happens he'll never return to that island again. And another scene was when he said in that monologue towards that end that he's sad he lost Kelly but was glad she was with him on the island. In times of loneliness we cling to whatever we can in order to gain some hope and strength to face the tides that await us. Overall I thought this movie was amazing and it will stick with me for as long as I'll live and I'm grateful that once in a while I'll come back to it hopefully as a better person.

Who ever sees & reads this comment Thank You for reading this 😢 and God Bless you. 12/10/1964-6/1/2019 54. Grand Rapids Michigan My Dad Died on June 1st 2019 and From Angiosarcoma a Rare Cancer that happens in the blood vessels (1out of 1,000,000 get it Usually at 70 and up but can happen at earlier ages) and can happen anywhere from the body and it happened as a Tumor mass in his right lung and eventually went to his left lung it caused Alot of pressure on his lungs and was causing fluid to build up constantly-to cough and hack up clear fluid like saliva. We thought it was Bronchitis so he took medicine for it(1week) and we saw that it really wasn't working so on one day he got mad and put a hole in the wall in his bedroom. He had been suffering this for about Four Months since all the way through June 😢 and we just didn't know that eventually it was cancer in his lungs. The Doctors Tried Everything they could do to keep him alive by doing Radiation Therapy cause they couldn't do surgery (it was too big) So they tried two treatments of it and the cancer wasn't reacting to the radiation by then he wasn't capable of doing Chemotherapy. So they put a Ventilator and other things on him and had him on 💯Full life support to Inhale and exhale from the machines that were keeping him alive. Aventually we had a family Meeting on June 1st to talk about his results and further Progressive treatment if possible but eventually they said this is Imminent to his Health to get any better from this point on. Soo many people were Praying for a Miracle 🙏 that he could make it baby step after baby step. It emotionaly shocked me to hear this so blunt in a Kind of way even though they tried to sugar coat the Evaluation. I'll end it here to not keep lengthening this comment too much.

@@user-mw8um6mc3v I think Wilson floating away was a symbolism of him returning back to civilization. Wilson was apart of the island and his companion that kept him alive. When it was time to go back home, everything that he found on the island faded away just like the island did when he got on the raft..

[@OeraliusTarth]

I think what people don't realize is when he looks back at the island as his raft carries him away and this song plays and then when he loses Wilson and this song plays those are pivotal moments to him letting go of his former self. Wilson and the island were the last remnants of his old self...they were what he occupied his time with and where he lived just trying to survive and live another day just hoping that he could go back home to his fiance some day. But he learned that time can steal all in life no matter how strong you are and how good of character you have within you...time can steal many things from you. Apart from the swanky job and cool clothes, the family dinners with 20 family members, his fiance, his bravado as a man, Chuck Noland was a survivor stranded on a deserted island and reinvented himself into a man that appreciated the more simple things in life and had to learn to live without love.

[@baronpoussiere]

It's just that. Exactly. Nothing else to add.

[@ozymandias35]

The moment that he turns around to see the island is also the first time that music composed for the film actually appears. There was an Elvis song and some background music very early before the crash, but this is the first time that anything Silvestri composed appears…more than 90 minutes into the movie! There was no music played the entire time he was on the island. I think that’s a brilliant, marvelous touch.

This piece of music is truly something. The emotions, the memories and the way your body and mind feels are all connected. They fluctuated from happiness, sadness, pain and grief. Life is definitely short. Your mind shifts knowing your best friend is gone and the memories that tie to the good times of what you remember with that person can no longer be shared by those who did not live it. RIP Tim M.

One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard and I'm a huge lisfener to real music. The theme seems to embody all the yearning, sadness, tragedy and hope possible. Thankyou Alan Silvestra. A masterpiece.

"Because tomorrow the sun will rise, Who knows what the tide could bring? ".

[@matthalo89]

This is the kind of song that sets the tone for a moment of divine intervention in a world crashing down and falling apart all around you. It's easy to lose sight of what is important in life when all seems lost and the courage to keep moving forward is like a dimly lit candle about to be blown out at the slightest brush of wind. But then you see a little break in the clouds and a tiny ray of light seeps thru. Suddenly you find yourself moving toward it, and you wonder how a broken vessel such as yourself could possibly be drawn to a little light after spending what seems like eternity in your own darkness. Suddenly you realize as you get nearer to that light your spirit is drawn to it, where it has always yearned to be. Once you find yourself out of the darkness and into the light, the weight of the sadness, anger, hurt, bitterness, confusion, and everything that landed you in the very depths of hell no longer linger in your heart and mind. It's the sweetest feeling.

I’m an absolute filmbuf and I’m certain you are right. It’s a classic and it will always stay that way. 60 years from now, for future generations this film will not have aged a bit. And this only because of it’s timeless and brilliant music and most of all because of its premise.It’s a classic that will endure. And last but not least.... Tom Hanks performance of lifetime. He’s the real unchallenged actor.

[@Gimilli]

hands down one of my favorite pieces of music ever

[@derekchin6403]

Recently watched the movie again after some twenty years. Didn’t remember peeling onions the first time. That rainy, emotion packed scene at the end just turned on the waterworks. This music so beautifully captures the film from start to end.

[@hollypebbles]

I was a projectionist at a cinema when this movie came out, Our manager ordered boxes of tissues and had the usherettes go around handing them out throughout the movie. She was one badass manager, everyone adored her. Her husband had some of this music played at her funeral. R.I.P. Joan. Thank you, Spirit Of Orchestral Music.

Can I just say I really love the oboe in this song? It’s a beautiful, emotionally powerful instrument that a lot of people don’t know about. It really carries this piece, wouldn’t be the same without it.

The rain seen where he says good bye to the love of his life is the most romantic scene in movie history ! Very difficult 😞 not to cry 😢!!

The Cast Away main theme is one of the most beautiful and moving pieces of music I've ever listened too. If you can listen to this piece and not feel the hope and despair of the main character (Tom Hanks), then you may not be human. Alan Silvestri is highly overlooked as one of our greatest composers.

[@CHIL-X]

Something about this piece is indescribable, I've been listening to it at least once a day for the past 3 years

[@NativeSpencer117]

Just watched Cast Away for the first time and I’m bawling. I know what its like to know someone have been dead for a long time then suddenly show up. Knowing there’s nothing you can do except move on no matter how hard it hurts.

Yeah no other choice but to fly on and keep going.

[@ricosanchez3432]

I am 19 so I basically never heard about this movie before. maybe a couple of times but never paid attention to it. just switched to HBO and left it in the background while doing some homework, but coincidentally heard the Soundtrack of this classic. needed to go to KZbin and... listening to the OST evokes a very strong mixture of feelings like melancholy and sadness Even when I’m actually not feeling that way. I need to watch this movie right now

[@aspenq03]

Brings me to ugly tears every time. What a gorgeous sad beautiful emotional piece. The music, the fact that we sit here and mourn a volleyball. Just incredible all around

[@Orphans_Story]

I'm going through a horrible yet heart-breaking relationship that I saw my whole future with this person, but now is gone! I feel lonely and abandoned at times. And every time I listen to this soundtrack, it reminds me to keep going and keep breathing. Life's unpredictable challenges come and go through all kids of shapes and format and dynamic. You'll never know what the life may bring today or tomorrow. The only thing we have control over is our attitude.

You were a great person and sometimes misunderstood as some of us are but you had a good heart and it shown through in all the good you did. We all miss you dearly whether you know it or not. I wish so much things could have been better for him. It's rare that you get actual friends in life..at least for me it is.

[@georgettegouveia7107]

It's significant that the movie's title is "Cast Away," not "Castaway." It's not about being a castaway. It's about casting away, letting go. Everything Hanks does and suffers is to prepare him for the moment when he will meet and love the woman on the angel-branded spread in Texas. She is his destiny, not Kelly, the Helen Hunt character, the woman he loved and lost. She, like so many people in this world, are meant to be with us only for so long. At one point, he said he was sad to lose her but glad she was there with him (in spirit) on that island. Recognizing this, he can go forward.

[@samkab677]

Every time I listen to it I remember when Wilson left the boat because of the Waves and Tom Hanks start to shout for his name in despair. I remember also in the movie how lives were broken and how tom Hanks just stood at the crossroads in the end trying to find his path.. emotional music and emotional movie.. And finally I remember my dad who died last year..I remember what he told me and tought me.. the good days the bad days...😢

[@jeffenwolf]

The music is haunting and brings a deep warm feeling to listeners! I could cry!

[@jmjmjam]

I'm no movie buff, but this is my favorite movie of all time. I can't get over how silent the movie is (80 minutes of on-screen silence in total). However, when it's not silent, it's playing this beautiful orchestral piece. Such phenomenal camerawork, acting, directing, and music.

I saw this film when I was in the deepest sadness. I had prepared the certification test that I thought I should do, but it was really hard for me to realize I'm not the one who can pass the test. Endless depression came to me and I felt like I was being alone in the island. Now I'm preparing for the other test, and I'm sure this movie saved my life at that time. Thanks Tom Hanks and the director from a student from South Korea.

[@gabrieldiniz6873]

When I was a kid, I watched this movie many times. The loneliness of Tom Hank's charachter and his faith always made me fell inspired. This last couple of months, I realized I'm also lost in that island. I've listened to this song so many times, it's not Tom Hanks I see in my mind now. It's now my fear, my loneliness and my faith in the tide. Like a friend once told me, sometimes in life we find ourselves lost in an island, and we never know the means we need to have to get out of it. But, that's not a thing I need to do alone. And by then, I start to see that the island it's not so desert, and that the tide had already brought me the way out a long time ago. It's time to leave. Thanks to this friend, and thanks to my high school Professor for a sweet memory in witch I can go back if I may.

[@dianem.6336]

Sometimes you feel like the world just casts you away to be alone, during that time you hold onto to something that will bring you back to the world but when you do come back the one thing that kept you going is no longer there because the world kept turning while you were gone and things changed so what do you do? Just keep breathing...

[@mattc3772]

This is arguably the best movie Tom ever made. Mainly because unlike most movies that tell a specific story this is a story we can all relate to and learn from. In this life at some point we will experience loss. Sometimes the loss is a divorce, death, a career or physical loss and sometimes we can lose ourselves. This music is a doorway that opens up stories of this in our lives. I can tell you this from personal experience. I was a military aviator and had a wife, 3 kids and brand new house. I was sent on a mission and it was a mission that went horribly wrong. I made it back and eventually got back to my house. I soon found out that it was an empty house and my kids laughter was gone. The military knowing how the mission went sent me to a shrink. They said I had some PTSD and permanently grounded me and I soon also found myself reading divorce papers. The military being grounded from flying then told me I was getting discharged even though I still had 6 years left on my contract. They pushed me out into the street. One day I was sleeping in a brand new 4 bedroom house and another day I found myself sleeping in my van. My soon to be x brother in law returned from IRAQ and was found hanging at his house. It was this movie that reminded me to keep breathing and keep going because you never know what the tide will bring in. So that’s what I did and I started my own business and recently bought a house. If you’re in a dark place keep breathing, keep going because you never know when, what or who the tide will bring in.

Went to see this awesome movie when it first came out in the theaters . I had been holding back tears when Chuck finally got his raft past the last breaker and looked back at where he had been secure . He then realized he had passed the point of no return, and this beautiful music started . I finally lost it when Wilson disappeared, and I didn’t want anyone to know tears were running down my face however, glancing back at the audience, I noticed that I was not alone with tears . Whether it was Tom Hank’s great acting , the the movie score, or this very touching music , it surely had a lasting effect on me and the audience as well. I deeply loved this movie !
