Subject: Origins: Was Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in Movie? From: GUEST,Cori Date: 02 Feb 25 - 10:10 PM Hey, everybody, I saw "A Complete Unknown" on Friday and at the end of the credits it listed every song used in the film including "Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile." I watched it again this afternoon (yes, it is good enough that I saw it in the theater twice and I urge everyone to see it at least once in the theater). I listened carefully every time music played and I swear I never heard that tune! I guess it's possible the tune was in one cut of the film and was cut out before the final version but still ended up in the credits. I'm just wondering if I could be wrong. What do people think? Thank you very much. |
Subject: RE: Origins: Was Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in Movie? From: Helen Date: 02 Feb 25 - 11:56 PM I don't know the movie. I just searched for the music credits and this page lists the title and performer for all the music in the movie. A Complete Unknown “Óró Sé Do Bheatha Abhaile” Performed by Alan Murray A search in IMDB for Alan Murray in the complete cast and crew of the movie gives this result: Alan Murray ... Musician Outside Viking #1 |

Subject: RE: Origins: Was Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in Movie? From: Hagman Date: 03 Feb 25 - 02:42 AM The Viking in the film is the motel in Newport where everyone stayed - there is a guy playing mandolin outside when Dylan and "Sylvie" arrive on the motorbike.... |
Subject: RE: Origins: Was Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in Movie? From: Helen Date: 03 Feb 25 - 02:54 AM Thanks for the info Hagman. To complicate the mystery, IMDB shows four musicians relating to The Viking: Alan Murray ... Musician Outside Viking #1 Mark Gross ... Musician Outside Viking #2 Andy Stein ... Musician Outside Viking #3 Jean Rohe ... Musician Outside Viking #4 But the Deadline site that I linked to above names Alan Murray as performing “Óró Sé Do Bheatha Abhaile”. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Was Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in Movie? From: GUEST,Cori Date: 03 Feb 25 - 12:53 PM Thanks for the answers. That at least gives me a clue what scene to focus on. |
Subject: RE: Origins: Was Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in Movie? From: GUEST,PMB Date: 03 Feb 25 - 01:31 PM Is it the same tune as this? Ó Ro ! 'Ré do Bheatha a Bhaile I'm not so sure about the synthesised midi, but it's bit of a sod to play. |
Subject: RE: Origins: Was Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in Movie? From: Helen Date: 03 Feb 25 - 01:33 PM Hi Con, please let us know if you find out more about this. I have also posted a note in the current thread about the movie A Complete Unknown asking for more information, so there might be some more clues in this thread soon. |
Subject: RE: Origins: Was Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in Movie? From: Helen Date: 03 Feb 25 - 02:22 PM I found videos of various performers: Oro Se Do Bheatha 'Bhaile performed by The Dubliners - the intro is a bit confusing but the singing makes the melody a bit clearer. or Sinead O'Connor |
Subject: RE: Origins: Was Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in Movie? From: Helen Date: 03 Feb 25 - 02:29 PM Guest, PMB - that's a great music site. Thanks for sharing it! |
Subject: RE: Origins: Was Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in Movie? From: Helen Date: 03 Feb 25 - 09:23 PM Thanks again, Hagman. Could it have been this musician playing a bouzouki? Alan Murray Bouzouki, Guitar Boston, MA "About Alan "Guitarist, bouzouki player and singer Alan Murray hails from Glasgow, Scotland, where he grew up playing the whistle and later guitar. Eventually moving to New York City, he has established himself as an in-demand performer and teacher on the Irish music scene. He has played and toured around the world with many of the finest traditional musicians and acts today, including Niall and Cillian Vallely, Eileen Ivers, Colin Farrell, Paul Brock, Battlefield Band, and FourWinds." |
Subject: RE: Origins: Was Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in Movie? From: Hagman Date: 03 Feb 25 - 09:41 PM My reply in the other thread: Yep, certainly looks like him, and yes, on closer inspection, it's a bouzouki, not a mandolin. The sound is murky, so can't confirm that's what he's playing.... It's a very brief shot while Dylan and "Sylvie" walk past (for those with access to "advance" copies of the film, it's at 1'40"18.) Go see the film, Helen - it's a lot of fun. (So many historical inaccuracies, but it's a film, not a doco. "Sylvie" wasn't at Newport '65, neither was Johnny Cash, and I really don't think Bob rode there from NYC on his Triumph, for a start....) Chalamet is uncanny and extraordinary, and the rest of the cast is terrific and well-played, except for Grossman, who is portrayed as an over-blown cartoon-character. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Was Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in Movie? From: GUEST,Cori Date: 04 Feb 25 - 12:21 AM I put this query under "Origins" because it didn't fit in any other listed category and picking some category was mandatory. I appreciate the answers. So much was going on in that scene where they arrived at the Hotel I can believe I missed something, even part of a tune I know well. |
Subject: RE: Origins: Was Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in Movie? From: Helen Date: 04 Feb 25 - 03:01 AM Sorry Cori, I just realised that I misread your name as Con. My eyes have been a bit off lately. Blame it on my old age. I haven't watched the relevant scene in the movie but after watching the video of The Dubliners performing the song, where the intro did not sound familiar to me, I'm wondering if the movie scene shows the intro of the song, before it actually starts to sound like the melody people would know. |
Subject: RE: Origins: Was Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in Movie? From: GUEST,Cori Date: 04 Feb 25 - 04:14 AM Clearing up a few things, I just posted a thread on another subject and see that picking a category was not mandatory after all. Helen, the version I am familiar with is by the Clancy Brothers and the tune of the verses and the chorus is the same except the verses are sung a little slower. There may be different versions. |
Subject: RE: Origins: Was Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile in Movie? From: Helen Date: 04 Feb 25 - 04:18 AM Cori, I posted a link to the version by The Dubliners on 03 Feb 25 - 02:22 PM. When I listened to that version the intro sounded like a completely different tune to the one I know, but when the song was sung I recognised it. |
