“Together Again” – The Lost Narnia Song

Posted January 26, 2010 9:40 am by fantasia_kitty

We’ve received a couple spy reports the past two days regarding the song by Evanescence that was originally intended for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Skilletdude writes:

Back in early 2005, we received a Word on the Street about Amy Lee of the rock band Evanescence contributing a song to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. However, this did not happen and was later denied by the film production that the song was even considered which caused a bit of confusion. At any rate, “The Narnia Song” (officially called “Together Again”) was released a day ago to help raise money for the relief effort for the recent tragedy in Haiti.

If you would like a copy of this song, all you have to do is donate just $5 (or more if you wish) to the Haiti relief efforts on the United Nations Foundation’s website here.

We’re also aware of the fact that the song exists on other various websites. We request that you do not post a link to those sites on NarniaWeb as we’re quite certain they’re not legal.

The lyrics to the song can be read in Skilletdude’s post just below this news story.

Thanks to Skilletdude and nikki for the heads-up!

i haven't heard it yet but like adeona said, reading the lyrics, it sounds very similar to the call...which i didn't exactly love...

I remember hearing about this song. It's much better than most of the songs in the movie credits but I'm not sure it suits the Narnia movies. Fairly low key but a very nice song all the same. Pity Evanescence are said and done now (or am I wrong about this?).

Thanks for sharing Skilletdude.

Just to let everybody know, I removed the link to the video on YouTube as I'm quite sure it's not legal. If you want to hear the song, please donate $5 to the Haiti relief efforts. Image Thanks guys!

I don't think I would have liked it for LWW, although I like the lyrics better than any of the songs they had. If it had been brought back, I think I would prefer it over "The Call".

Skilletdude wrote:Never thought that I'd be leaving you today
So alone and wondering why I feel this way
So wide the world
Can love remember how to get me home to you
Someday

I especially think this bit describes Lucy very well at the end of PC.

All just a dream in the end
We'll be together again

So many fears were swimming around and around in my mind
Who would have dreamed the secrets we would find

I've found a world where love and dreams and darkness all collide
Maybe this time we can leave our broken world behind

This part makes me think of Jill in LB. Actually, I think it suits LB best, and I think I would like to hear it there.

General Movie Discussion | Re: Evanescence's "Narnia Song" released

I don't think it would've worked at the end of LWW, very possibly at the beginning when they are being sent to the countryside. If it had been different lyrics, I think it would have worked well at the end, or perhaps different music. The two together, while a pretty song, is not quite right for LWW. I agree, better for something like PC.

and Warrior 4 Jesus, Evanescence is still together, and recording a new album next month.

I listened to the song on youtube (yes, probably an illegal copy) and it was just beautiful! Image

Great song, though I believe it is best suited for LB more then LWW!

General Movie Discussion | Re: Evanescence's "Narnia Song" released

I love Evanescence and I really like this song. I remember hearing a mention of a possibility that Evanescence would do a song for LWW and I had always wondered what happened to that. Glad to know that the song is available now.

I agree that it doesn't have an end feel to LWW, but I can still see it fitting throuhgout the story. To me, it seems like a character based song for Susan at the start of the story and her disbelief in Narnia. The first part of the song seems to match to the leaving of London and that as a family, they would one day all be together again. The second part with "so many fears" gives me the sense of when Edmund leaves the other three and how Susan might feel that even in Narnia, the family is still separated and how she wants them to still "be together again". Then the last portion would be the realization of how the world of Narnia is full of danger and there is a darkness that rules. "Leaving the broken world behind" could be a reference to the WW2 world, having set everything right in Narnia and now living there as kings and queens. I don't really see the connection with PC, but I can see it as having a match up to the story of LB.

I much prefer this song to a lot of the other end songs that are on both the LWW and PC soundtracks, but I can see why it was not chosen in the end.

it's a very good song, but I don't really think that it sounds like Narnia.....or at least it doesn't sound like VotDT to me...... Image

I like the sound of it. Maybe not for LWW, but it might have worked with PC.

Um, why would it sound like VDT to you? Image

General Movie Discussion | Re: Evanescence's "Narnia Song" released

Well... It's better than "Winter Light."
I like "Together Again," although it seems a bit dark for a children's movie.
At first glance it doesn't seem to have much to do with Narnia.
At second glance it seems to say that Narnia is a dream land, which is something that I highly object to. Narnia isn't Wonderland. The cool thing about Lewis's writing is that he made Narnia so believable. But maybe it is supposed to be metaphorical.

At third glance I see that it could be interpreted the other way around, -that England and WWII may be just a dream in the end, which is much more interesting, and obviously metaphorical. I'm not quite sure what the writer of this song intended, but then again, I still don't understand "Wunderkind," (mostly since I keep finding differing lyrics for the song on the internet. Does anyone know where I can find an "official" copy of the Wunderkind lyrics?).

After downloading "Together Again" I was inspired to finally listen to "In Like A Lion" by Relient K, which was written in hopes that it would be included on the "Inspired by LWW" CD. I was quite impressed by that song as well.

I can't wait to add these songs to my Narnia Playlist!

Sounds like a 'Last Battle' song from Susan's perspective for me.

I'm actually glad they didn't use it for LWW. Too dark and eerie for that story, indeed. But it's nice and would be good for an "Inspired by" CD, as long as they indicate it was based on "The Last Battle" or some other book.

General Movie Discussion | Re: Evanescence's "Narnia Song" released

hello People

I'm New here but I thought I might contribute and add this to give you the inspration to why Amy Lee wrote it:

Quote:5) There've been some kind of 'leaks' for the “Good Enough” single lately on the net. Someone even posted the cover and tracklist for it. There's a b-side called “Together Again”; well, can you confirm it? And if you can, how you came to the decision to add this song to Good Enough? What's the song about?


Well, I know by now this was a while ago, and I guess by now you know that together again isn't on the good enough single. It was a probably just a mistake at the label, assuming that song would go there, but it isn't quite finished. It would be a pretty simple task to complete it, and eventually we will. It's a song I love very much and I promise you'll hear it- I'm saving it for a rainy day. I think most of you know that it was the song I intended to be in the chronicles of narnia, and that was the inspiration. So its about leaving home knowing it may not be there when you return, and the attraction to something frightening and wonderful far away from there.

    it doesnt really fit with narnia in any way. it sounds more like a love song than a children’s fantasy song for a movie.

  • narnian resident says: January 26th, 2010 on 4:04 PM

    i hope so too. i hope that they started a little tradition of playing a song similar to "the call" at the end as the movie is wrapping up because i just loved that whole idea in PC. they kinda did it in LWW, but the song was more during the credits, but it was so pretty. "the call" was so perfect and it made me almost cry too :-D

      OMJ (oh my Jonas) you remember ‘The Call’ it’s the most beautiful song I have ever heard and it soooo fits PC. I thought everyone had forgotten that song!!! I listen to it everyday :) I think the song ‘together again’ is good but doesn’t fit LWW because they didn’t know they were going home so how could they be sad :S
      But i think it’s good they are rasing money for Haiti :)

  • HighQueenofNarnia says: January 26th, 2010 on 4:25 PM

    "The Call" and "Wunderkind" were probably the best choices- judging from the lyrics, it almost sounds like a credit song for Silver Chair or Last Battle.

    This song is awesome, but it is unfair that Narnia gets some credit for it, because the film director rejected it, said it was too ominous, so I don’t know why this song is here, Amy explained it

    Hmm… The song is pretty good by itself, but I can’t really see it for any of the Narnia movies. Maybe Last Battle, but if the song was in the credits, then it would be kinda weird since the movie would have ended happily and they wouldn’t be talking about leaving Narnia or coming back to it.

    But interesting song either way! :D

    Even if I did like the lyrics, I’m not too thrilled about only being able to access the song legally by donated to the United Nations relief effort. I believe better ways exist to help out Haiti, not just for more-immediate earthquake relief but for the long-term. Recently I interviewed the head of Northwest Haiti Christian Mission, a great Christ-centered organization with those goals.

    Still, the "lost song" element of it makes me curious, and if it’s ever released on iTunes or elsewhere, I might check it out. Non-Narnia-like lyrics also apply to "Winter Light"!

  • MP_in_Narnia says: January 28th, 2010 on 4:53 PM

    I don’t understand why no one really thinks the lyrics go with LWW… When I read the lyrics they made TOTAL sense to me to go with LWW…or actually after LWW. It seems to me to be sort of like a diary entry that Lucy made the day all four of the Pevensies came through the wardrobe after hunting the White Stag. They had just been in Narnia for many years and now find themselves back on Earth…in just an instant. These lyrics made me think of the part of the movie where Lucy and the Professor are talking in front of the wardrobe wondering if and how to ever get back. :)
    So anyway, I LOVE the lyrics! I’ll have to check out what the song sounds like. :)

    Wow i really haven’t been on here in forever and none of you probably know me by my username but that’s cool. I’m listening to the song now and my first thoughts to this piece of news (of which I am very late in replying to)was "Narnia"…"Evanescence"…what?! Confusion. Perhaps it’s just me but the two don’t really seem to go together. It is kind of an eerie song and I’m ever so glad that it was not in either of the movies as it’s too dark for both even if they made PC more dark than the book(and didn’t follow the book…grrr). I don’t like how she sings "all a dream in the end" because it was most definatley not an Alice in Wonderland scenario. But oh well…
