Anyone know what the song is at the end when she is dancing on her father's feet? I tryed to find it on the soundtrack listing, but don't think I'm finding it.

Song: Balladen om Herr Fredrik Åkare och den söta Fröken Cecilia Lind

I think this is it. I know it's in there somewhere near the end. The song is an swedish folk ballad by one of our most beloved musicians, Corneliis Vreeswijk, who sadly doesn't live anymore. It fits pretty good in the dance-scene since it's about an old man and a young woman/girl who dances cheek-to-cheek. In the song they're lovers though.

I own the soundtrack. It is very good, and the best song is the they play while the father and daughter are dancing, and then leads into the final credits. I remember when I watched the DVD I just replayed that scene over and over for the music. Wow....

The soundtrack for Aberdeen is excellent, I reall felt it meshed well with the overall movie and I couldn't wait to buy it after I saw it.

the song you´re asking for is a wonderful ballad, played by Chet Baker, and it´s called "i get along without you very well". one of the most powerful songs i have ever heard.

That scene with that song is one of the most powerful music in a film-moments I have seen.
absolutely stunning.
Glad to see that others felt the same way.

- Is it possible to call for help ironically — and really mean it?

Thank You very much. I´m sory that my thanks is too late :-)
