Always remember this ending while visiting my grandparents in New York and my late grandfather taking me to Tottenville (on Staten Island) one early morning and just sitting there watching the Outerbridge Crossing - to me at that age it was like a bridge to nowhere, but as I grew up, I realized it went over to New Jersey...but the awe of it all was that this music set the mood for those dawn mornings when he took me and how I remember him, now that he has been gone for 30 years now. Thank you for it all, grandpa. You did so well in your time.
Crazy is the backstory about why Ms. Palmer played Mrs. Voorhees in the 1st place. I had the chance to meet that lovely lady. She was offered a returning role. She turned it down cause the studio wouldn't pay her a residual. Sad...
love how this song feels triumphant yet sad, like something you’d listen to when you lose something/someone really important but you continue in stride
In the first film you may feel sympathetic to Jason because he was basically blameless in all that happened. The sequels just make him a senseless killing machine despite giving him his trademark look
I came back to the movie last night remembering this movie and music from 2018, That's when i watched this. Good old days... Thanks to my grandma who found this movie.
35 years ago Friday the 13th came out I am watching this now thinking about betsy palmer she will be missed I knew she had talent for famous movies rest in peace
At the beginning of the film when Annie enters the diner, there's a country song playing on the jukebox called "Sail Away, Tiny Sparrow". Someone pointed out on another thread, accurately, that the end credits are a slowed down instrumental version of that song. Then you look up the lyrics and see that it's about someone escaping a horrible situation, and yet none of the characters from the first film, including the final girl and the killer survive, considering that both Alice and Crazy Ralph are both brutally dispatched in the second film. Really heightens the creep factor when you think about it.
I remember the first time watching the original Friday the 13th and being thrown for such a loop when this theme started playing. I was like “wait, this is actually Beautiful!?”
There's something very oddly relaxing and beautiful about this music. It's the kind of music that plays when the threatened terror is over and the soul survivor is realizing their mind past the terror they faced only moments ago.
Such a beautiful piece of music! We have a former Summer Camp in my hometown about 3-4 miles from where I live, it's a boy scout camp now, but there's a fishing pond that's big enough to be a lake that has a dock on it. There's hiking paths and an access drive that's about a half a mile long that goes back into the woods. Along the drive, there's picnic tables and out houses and when you get to the back there's a former mess hall that's now an office/storage space building. There's an old ampitheater and an archery range. I've walked back there and have had so many Camp Crystal Lake references and it's peaceful. I love this series up until 5. I enjoy 1 & 2 very much, and 4 & 6. Reminds me of how nice Summer can be with the smell of lake water, pine trees, a cool evening breeze, campfires, and the whole smell of rain before a thunderstorm and after one. I have always loved Summer Camp and always will. This series holds close to my heart because of the camp setting in Summer time
What if they elaborated more on Jason's experience at camp? Not only was he neglected to his death, but also could've been the camp outcast? And maybe Alice could've struggled fitting in with the other kids there on account of them being assholes to her. Thus when her and Mrs. Vorhees meet up, they have some sort of emotional connection even though Mrs. Vorhees eventually tries to kill her. Her rage is a manifestation of her son's ostracism that Alice can relate to but also fears as it drives the mother to kill her.
One of the most iconic ending themes to any horror movie considering that it was used in Friday the 13th! Add to the fact that this music plays during the ending of the movie makes it even more iconic and unforgettable!
I always thought of that as a sort of bittersweet ending. Mama was only trying to do what she felt she had to do to avenge her son's death. I felt sorry for her and for Jason.
Xehanort10 I like to assume that part about Jason still being alive is just a dream. even Sean Cunningham himself admitted he thought bringing Jason back for a sequel was stupid
Thomas Baron Yeah Alice being dragged under the water by the 11 year old Jason was a dream since Jason was a grown man in his 30's living in the woods of Crystal Lake at the time.
I was introduced to this film as a kid, was tild it had an amazing ending.. Hated it, hated horror films ever since (most of them)... But I use to play the ending back again and again on VHS just for this score!
I don’t know if I’m the only one with this opinion, but my favourite is the first. Because it had heart, soul, and massive thought put into it. It was a story of tragedy and loss. Loss that can make you go crazy, make you do anything. Even kill. The other movies, are ok, but they didn’t go through as much though as the first one did. Whenever I see the first one, I get a feeling which I want to come back. If there is going to be a remake, I want the killer to be Mrs Voorhees once again…
R.I.P Betsy Palmer, thank you for everything, you were amazing actress, you delivered a line, you scared me and the way you did it was intense, nobody can do your role as Pamela Voorhees, you will always live in our entertainment and you will be remembered as the original killer in Friday The 13th, this theme gave me goose bumps and I cried as well, I’m not ashamed to say that, this theme brought tears to my eyes, it was very sad how Jason was treated by the kids and was thrown into the lake, then he discovers his mother was killed by Alice then he becomes a killing machine when he shows up, there is a fan manga where Jason meets Carrie, he scares the other kids that bullied her and Carrie found a friend that understands, I can imagine this theme played if Carrie meet Jason and Pamela
@goldlessbassist According to Harry Manfredini, he wrote the song for Friday The 13th and did a full recording, which is what we hear in the two diner scenes in the movie. I don't know if any copy of that recording exists, but it's possible Manfredini has a copy somewhere, but it's never surfaced. I've been hunting it for years. It's possible that nowadays the rights to the song itself is in limbo, between Paramount and New Line. The sheet music and lyrics are available for sale on his site.
@Tooney3000 If by full track you mean the song Sail Away Tiny Sparrow, it's never been released (see the other comments for details), but you can hear snippets in the movie. The recording here is from the end credits, lifted off the DVD after Alice's last line of dialogue ("Then he's still there...") and played through to the end of the credits, unaltered by me. In terms of this instrumental piece, this all there is.
@MadTheDJ I really like that song. I assumed it was a legit track because it has a female lead singer and didn't really sound like a made-for-the-movie soundtrack. But now that you pointed all that out to me, I can definitely hear the similarities between this and Fly Away.
Does anyone else but me think this sounds like the love theme from the Oscar winning soundtrack to "Midnight Express" from 1978 by Giorgio Moroder? No slander intended (I love this movie and the score), just sayin'...😁🍻

I am so, so sorry for your loss. He is in a better place now and will always live in our hearts.
RIP Betsy Palmer. Thanks for playing one of the craziest movie mothers ever.
R.I.P
She's in a better place now.
Crazy is the backstory about why Ms. Palmer played Mrs. Voorhees in the 1st place. I had the chance to meet that lovely lady.
She was offered a returning role. She turned it down cause the studio wouldn't pay her a residual. Sad...
@anglerfish8278 it was our loss. Would have been great to have had her recurring as a Jason hallucination.
This is a beautiful score by Harry Manfredini.
R.I.P Betsy Palmer
She is in a better place now.
Thank you for scaring us shitless.
I had this played during my brother's wedding.... Turned out beautiful
Oh I bet you might of made everyone cry.
@@brandonnsmith3835 some died
That’s really cool. I listen to this song here and there and it always makes me appreciate my youth.
@@jamesburrough2855 Same. I still remember landline phones and tv channels being minimal. Totally different time compared to now.
That is perfect for the couple's first dance!!
Beautiful theme ending :)
True, It's my favirote piece of music in movie HISTORY.
The last shot with the bubbles on the lake is just awesome. So campfire story-esque.
That last shot started something so big that nobody could ever imagine.
This ones for you Betsy Palmer, thank you for everything.
Rip
R.I.P
She's in a better place now.
I'm not afraid either...ha ha ha.
Lovely lady that Pamela Voorhees.
Couldn't have been portrayed than by none other than Ms. Betsy Palmer.
R.I.P
Thank You Betsy Palmer! May God Be With You 🙏
they were warned... they are doomed.... and on friday the 13th, nothing will save them.
A 24-hour nightmare of terror.
R.I.P Betsy Palmer
Thank you for scaring us shitless.
love how this song feels triumphant yet sad, like something you’d listen to when you lose something/someone really important but you continue in stride
Rest in peace Betsy Palmer. thank you for scaring us shitless for years
R.I.P
She's in a better place now.
If you'd never actually seen FRIDAY THE 13TH, would you ever guess this was the ending theme to a horror movie?
I know right.
I know!! It's beautiful. It's fuckin straight classic!! It fits the damn movie perfectly, though.
Very ironic
No
It's beautiful.
I find this piece of music very beautiful :)
very beautiful and very sad :')
such a perfect ending, makes you feel sorry for Jason, then the sequels come along and make this ending music spooky :P
True.
In the first film you may feel sympathetic to Jason because he was basically blameless in all that happened. The sequels just make him a senseless killing machine despite giving him his trademark look
It’s all Jason’s fault. Hanging out in the woods for over twenty years instead of just going home. Damn kids.
@Tim_Walden that was a retcon
There was never supposed to be a sequel or a franchise
The scene with Jason pulling her out of the water was a dream
Rest in piece, Betsy Palmer. Thank you for everything.
***** I immediately thought of this music when reading about her death.
+Raptorcloak A great way to remember her.
All the greats are practically gone now :/
Agreed. RIP Betsy Palmer.
R.I.P
She's in a better place now.
I came back to the movie last night remembering this movie and music from 2018, That's when i watched this. Good old days...
Thanks to my grandma who found this movie.
Rest in peace Betsy. The ending to the original film was so beautiful and calm until Jason came up.
Bro you're TH-cam channel was made when I was born.
A truly gorgeous piece of music.
35 years ago Friday the 13th came out I am watching this now thinking about betsy palmer she will be missed I knew she had talent for famous movies rest in peace
watching Friday The 13th right now and just now finding out she's passed on. wow, I felt like crying to this music. :'(
@@NickelConsumer I totally agree with you about technology. Life was less stressful before.
I can imagine this playing when Jason found his mother's decapitated head as well as her headless body.
Were sorry Jason.
Same
I’d like to see this theme reintroduced but done by John Carpenter
Beautiful score, haunting and sad.

I love how the ending is just so emotional because Jason is still alive but then the sequel came and he wasn’t very happy with what Alice did
There's something very oddly relaxing and beautiful about this music. It's the kind of music that plays when the threatened terror is over and the soul survivor is realizing their mind past the terror they faced only moments ago.
Until they're pulled under the water by another killer
This is my fave piece of film music
Same... I liked BTW 😁
This Is How I End A Schedule
Such a beautiful piece of music!

So reassuring yet so creepy. Saves the film for me.
What a great score
Beautiful ❤❤
We didn't find any boy. Then he's still there.
Yes!!!
Lol i thought he was gonna pop out again
What boy?
The boy, Jason!
@@jrhurtado9825 Haha, I was your first like BTW. 😄
@@clementineeverett9395 lol kool man
Just watched this movie and remembered why I loved it as a kid. The film plays like a dream. I love Alice so much. Adrienne King ❤️

scottt 626 maybe if you were trying to turn a slasher film into a some soap opera?? 😂 but I like the idea
@@miguelmiguel4266 this could work for a current horror movie. Much too heavy and intellectual for 1980.
Very beautifull end song of one of the best horrormovies of all time!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Classic 80s horror flick. one of my favorites!!! beautiful track as well!!
Strange calm and good use of the piano to end it then crank the beat and noise up when the boy comes out of the water.
One of the most iconic ending themes to any horror movie considering that it was used in Friday the 13th! Add to the fact that this music plays during the ending of the movie makes it even more iconic and unforgettable!
I love this ending
Another song I want played at my funeral ❤️
Literal chills down my spine
Sgt Tierney: Ma'am we didn't find any boy.
Alice: Then he's still there.
I always thought of that as a sort of bittersweet ending. Mama was only trying to do what she felt she had to do to avenge her son's death. I felt sorry for her and for Jason.
Thomas Baron The ironic thing is that Pamela never found out that Jason had been alive all along before her death.
Xehanort10 I like to assume that part about Jason still being alive is just a dream. even Sean Cunningham himself admitted he thought bringing Jason back for a sequel was stupid
Thomas Baron Yeah Alice being dragged under the water by the 11 year old Jason was a dream since Jason was a grown man in his 30's living in the woods of Crystal Lake at the time.
Thing is though.....if they hadnt taken that route....we would not have had that geat horror icon today....so a "bad idea" that ROCKED
I was introduced to this film as a kid, was tild it had an amazing ending.. Hated it, hated horror films ever since (most of them)... But I use to play the ending back again and again on VHS just for this score!
They don't make horror movies like this anymore!... So sad!... A cult/epic classic!
I always thought this song was so unsettling to hear. It's so out of place compared to what happened in the movie. I love it.
I don’t know if I’m the only one with this opinion, but my favourite is the first. Because it had heart, soul, and massive thought put into it. It was a story of tragedy and loss.

Whenever I see the first one, I get a feeling which I want to come back. If there is going to be a remake, I want the killer to be Mrs Voorhees once again…
Yeah
Its shocking the lengths that a mother will go to for her child
She'd kill for them
2:40 RAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a classic.
2:41, haaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
😲 I just realized it’s a reprise of Tiny Sparrow. I guess I’m sinking into that hardcore fandom now. 🤦♂️
Sadness for the families who lost their kids in this movie
Sadness for Mrs Voorhees who lost her song
Sadness for Jason who lost his mother...
I connect with this piece. Just the feeling of not even being afraid or sad, just tired.
A beautiful song, to show the end of hell. Miss you, Pamela. You're Mother of Horror.
When I die, I want this to be the music that plays me out.
Same, I was your first like BTW.
I watched Friday The 13th today, and at the end, I cried at the fact Betsy Palmer is at rest...
R.I.P Betsy
Will always be alive in ouf hearts.
R.I.P Betsy Palmer, thank you for everything, you were amazing actress, you delivered a line, you scared me and the way you did it was intense, nobody can do your role as Pamela Voorhees, you will always live in our entertainment and you will be remembered as the original killer in Friday The 13th, this theme gave me goose bumps and I cried as well, I’m not ashamed to say that, this theme brought tears to my eyes, it was very sad how Jason was treated by the kids and was thrown into the lake, then he discovers his mother was killed by Alice then he becomes a killing machine when he shows up, there is a fan manga where Jason meets Carrie, he scares the other kids that bullied her and Carrie found a friend that understands, I can imagine this theme played if Carrie meet Jason and Pamela
Brings me to tears. Saw this at the drive-in with mom, dad, and older sister. 1980…🥲
Happy Friday the 13th...Jason your mother loved you so much that she killed for you...then you killed for her!!!
That is a REAL relationship.
This is very beautiful
master piece, super sweet song, amazing
Always reaching to something redeeming, solace for those who were wronged. It would not be.
This reminds me of Twin Peaks for some reason....
DUDE. I could totally see this in Twin Peaks and it would be awesome.
yeah the start sounds a lot like that one song from peaks's soundtrack ahah
"...Then he's still there..."
@goldlessbassist

memories... thank you...
I’ve always loved this song. It’s so ironic because it’s a horror movie. 😂🤪😍
Something worse is coming- something meaner, something terrifying, truly wicked. His name is Jason.
"You see, Jason was my son, and today is his birthday." Betsy Palmer as Pamela Voorhees. Rest in peace.
1:49 - 2:03 *ARRRAGHGHGH*
At 2:03 that's where Alice's dream of being dragged underwater by the 11 year old zombified Jason happens.
Beatifullll
Who knew that even in a horror film you hear this kind of music that sounds so relieving
@Tooney3000
If by full track you mean the song Sail Away Tiny Sparrow, it's never been released (see the other comments for details), but you can hear snippets in the movie. The recording here is from the end credits, lifted off the DVD after Alice's last line of dialogue ("Then he's still there...") and played through to the end of the credits, unaltered by me. In terms of this instrumental piece, this all there is.
This ending to the movie is sad until jason pops up he ruined the dam ending
that was supposed to be a dream sequence because Jason's mother told Alice that Jason drowned in the lake.
it wasn't even supposed to end the way it did.
John Burns in the original script it was Mrs Voorhees who jumped out of the lake and that's when Alice decapitated her.
@modern monika I suppose it's sad because all Alices friends are dead. (And then Alice dies as well in the sequel!)
@Vanessa Monika I always skip that part
The most beautiful happy ending movie of this horror classic
Beautiful Ending...I Will Always & Forever Love This Theme 😎✊🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I'm sad for the generations who will never experience we we had as far a movies go
Música nostralogia 😢😢😭👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
where can i hear the original version of Sail Away Tiny Sparrow? i thought it was a real country hit from the seventies...
Snake Plissken Here is the country song heard over the radio in the movie: th-cam.com/video/r1EebHS6NAg/w-d-xo.html
this song would fit perfectly in Maniac (1980)
@culayta
The sheet music is available on Harry Manfredini's website, but I think it's for piano and for the vocal version.
@MadTheDJ I really like that song. I assumed it was a legit track because it has a female lead singer and didn't really sound like a made-for-the-movie soundtrack. But now that you pointed all that out to me, I can definitely hear the similarities between this and Fly Away.
The "love theme " from Friday the 13th
I was your first like BTW.
Kevin bacon friday 13 and went violently done campinstructor scewered through him
i always liked this song :o)
Does anyone else but me think this sounds like the love theme from the Oscar winning soundtrack to "Midnight Express" from 1978 by Giorgio Moroder? No slander intended (I love this movie and the score), just sayin'...😁🍻
WOW
La película está muy bueno
El soundtrack
De victoria
A salvo.
