How to watch this scene: Step 1: Sit down Step 2: try not to cry Step 3: see Matt Smith crying Step 4: Cry a lot

Wish they did this more often in Doctor Who. This song suits the Doctor so perfectly. It's beautifully written and performed. I cried when he said his speech along with this. Goodnight Raggedy man. Gone but never forgotten.

[@kevincarroll5511]

I picture the funeral of the Doctor. I picture the thousands of beings he's saved paying homage to the greatest hero of space and time. I picture his companions, all of them, in tears, as they beg for the universe to give them back the man who was brave and kind. I picture an entire universe in mourning. And at the last "Wake up," he opens his eyes, ready and eager to be a doctor once again.

[@Lenny-ue8hk]

YES

[@Erikjust]

If it had been up to me, i would have changed the 11th regeneration so he would have died defeating the Darlek ship one last fight for the warrior. We see the doctors body being carried to a table/alter of sort and lain there as a mark of respect to the man who gave his life to protect the village. We then start to hear the long song sung in the background, almost as if it has been carried across the universe from the rings of akathen. We then see a rift open in the sky above the the building where the doctors body is resting. Energy flows down and almost forms a cloak over the doctors body as it is it absorbed by the doctors body. And the doctors eyes opens, we then shift to the lower half of the alter when we see the lower part of the doctors body mainly his legs touch the ground. At the start we see his staggering like an old man, but then regeneration energy starts to surround the doctors legs almost like a cocoon and the doctors walk start to become more and more like his old self. As he reaches the Tardis we pan up to see the hands of the doctor now young again opening the latch to the phone. the rest of the scene goes on like it did in the actual episode.

[@Althalus2010]

That would have been really great. I mean, I would have cried a frickin' river, but it would have been great.

[@Erikjust]

And that really is (in my opinion) the best way to do a regeneration. we are sad to see the departure of the old doctor, but at the same time we get the joy of a new doctor.

The Long Song just isn't long enough....

[@manly.mcbeefington]

sorta ironic, isn't it?

[@Vhargon]

So... a part of this song was used for the Doctor's regeneration into the 12th. I'd like to draw attention to the fact that during the the Doctor's speech in The Rings of Akhaten, he says "Take my memories." 12th has lost his memory.

[@Vhargon]

***** Citation needed.

[@tiekogalaxylatte8839]

nice observation i did not notice that hmmmm

[@GeneralLeeInsane]

Yeah, but according to the episode, when the "Old God" takes a person's memories, it also takes their life. The Doctor didn't die in that episode, thus, he could not have lost his memories of everything, or grandfather just regurgitated all of The Doctor's memories. BTW, the "part of this song" you're thinking of, is the next song on the disc, Infinite Potential.

[@Vhargon]

GeneralLeeInsane I am not suggesting the parasite God literally took his memories. I am saying it was clever foreshadowing.

[@CreeperDefence]

I know it's confusing but he hasn't lost his memories he has post regeneration amnesia which is like after you regenerate you forget small and sometimes big things. The 11th had it if you payed attention. He forgot he was crashing and when little Amelia asked him who he was he said he didn't know.

well the song is interpreting the doctors regeneration..which is why this was used during the 11ths farewell and regeneration...rest now...11 is dieng....then wake up...12 is born.

[@Genji_Glove]

Bright Heart I guess that makes sense for the motif's reuse later when he regenerated, but for the scene this song was written I assumed they were singing to that parasitic Sun God.

[@Vhargon]

Michael Edwards My interpretation (and by interpretation, I mean that I may be wrong) was that they were singing to the Doctor all along. It was to inspire and protect him.

[@Genji_Glove]

Well, that works.

[@louiecandiotti6427]

VharGames You can hear parts of this song in the 11 doctors regeneration, also the lyrics the light cling to your bones (or something like that) is a reference to the yellow light (i forget the name of the stuff) that comes from regeneration.

[@katcarson594]

ok then, that's what i'll do, i'll tell you a story. I heard the birth of this song and watched as the video ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained. No music, no song.

I like how the Eleventh Doctor was so much like a warrior so this song was very fitting for his battle against Akhaten. I love this song, my jaw dropped to the floor the first time I saw this scene. I would love if they revisit this particular piece in the 50th or the Christmas special, it's so beautiful.

[@SpectreICollateral]

Absolutely beautiful. This scene was definitely in my top 3 in all the TV scenes I've ever seen. The Doctor's speech + Matt's acting + this song = perfection.

All these people whose ancestors spend their money, sacrificed dignity to you. Can you see them raging? Oh you like to think you're a game company. But you're not a game company. You're just a cash grabber. Eat now with jealousy and envy and longing for sport games. You feed on them. On the wallets of money and credit cards and caring and drivers license and pennies and 100 Dollars, so... so come on then. Take mine. Take my money. But I hope you're got a big safe. Because I've played lots of games. And I've played a few games. I walked away from the last great Console War. I marked the passing of the video game crash of 1983. I saw the birth of gaming and watched as companies gone bankrupt, moment by moment, until nothing remained. No cartridges, no CD's. Just me! I played consoles where the laws of game play were devised by the mind of a madman! And I watched games freeze and friendship burn! I have spent cash on things you wouldn't believe! I have lost saves you will never understand! And I know things, exploits that must never be told, manual info that must never be spoken!

This song was meant for the doctor... In the beginning this song was meant for a god that took the form of a red planet who was really just a parasite...in the end it was still very much meant for a god but this time a very different god, and his name is The Doctor...when Amy said “Raggedy man...Goodnight” the song says “wake up” referring to the doctor regenerating...the similarities are beautiful and only makes the song more beautiful
