Doyle was born on 6 April 1953 in Scotland and graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama in 1975. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama in 2001. He joined the Renaissance Theatre Company in 1987 as composer and musical director creating scores for highly successful productions of such plays as Hamlet, As You Like It, and Look Back in Anger. Doyle's film score debut occurred in 1989 when actor/director Kenneth Branagh commissioned Doyle to compose a score for the Renaissance Film's production of Henry V. The song "Non Nobis, Domine" from the film was subsequently awarded the 1989 Ivor Novello Award for Best Film Theme. He has since scored nine Kenneth Branagh films including Dead Again (1991), Much Ado About Nothing (1993), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994), Hamlet (1996), Love's Labour's Lost (2000), As You Like It (2006), Sleuth (2007), and Thor (2011).
In October 1997, shortly after scoring Great Expectations, directed by Alfonso Cuarón, Doyle was diagnosed with leukemia. He managed to complete his score for the animated fantasy Quest for Camelot (1998) in hospital whilst undergoing treatment. Doyle made a full recovery.
In 1998 Patrick Doyle’s Music from the Movies concert, sponsored by Leukaemia Research UK was staged at the Royal Albert Hall. It was directed by Kenneth Branagh and starred a host of international stars including Emma Thompson, Sir Derek Jacobi, Dame Judi Dench, Alan Rickman, Imelda Staunton, Richard E. Grant, Adrian Lester, and Robbie Coltrane.
He has composed a series of classical works outside of films that include "The Thistle and the Rose", commissioned in 1990 by Prince Charles in honor of the 90th Birthday of Queen Elizabeth I; the violin romance "Corarsik", written for Emma Thompson's birthday; the album "Impressions of America: A Suite for Orchestra"; and the symphonic tone poem "Tam O Shanter", commissioned by the Scottish Schools Orchestra Trust.
Doyle has recently completed the scores for Marvel Studios Thor (2011) and the 20th Century Fox film Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes (2011). He is currently working on the upcoming Pixar film Brave (2012), directed by Mark Andrews, after which he will be working on the Sovereign Films film Effie directed by Richard Laxton.
Learn Me Right
Patrick Doyle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or even spit out some holy word
I have no strength with which to speak
When you sit me down and see I'm weak
We will run and scream
You will dance with me
We'll fulfill our dreams
We will run and scream
You will dance with me
We'll fulfill our dreams
And we'll be free
We will be who we are
And they'll heal our scars
Sadness will be far away
So I had done wrong but you put me right
My judgment burned in the black of night
When I give less than I take
It is my fault, my own mistake
We will run and scream
You will dance with me
We'll fulfill our dreams
And we'll be free
We will be who we are
And they'll heal our scars
Sadness will be far away
The song "Learn Me Right" was written by Mumford & Sons and performed by Birdy and Mumford & Sons for the movie "Brave". The lyrics of the song portray a sense of vulnerability and the acceptance of the singer's own weaknesses. The first two lines of the song, "Though I may speak some tongue of old/ Or even spit out some holy word", suggest that the singer may have knowledge or understanding of something special, but when they are faced with someone who sees their flaws and vulnerabilities, they feel weakened and unable to articulate themselves. The line "When you sit me down and see I'm weak" shows that the singer is open to being vulnerable and appreciates the other person's ability to see them for who they truly are, despite their flaws.
The song then shifts to a sense of hope and freedom, with the lines "We will run and scream/ You will dance with me/ We'll fulfill our dreams/ And we'll be free". These lyrics suggest that the singer has found someone who embraces their weaknesses and helps them to overcome them. The lines "We will be who we are/ And they'll heal our scars/ Sadness will be far away" further expresses the idea that the singer has found a partner who helps them to heal from their past and be at peace emotionally.
The chorus "We will run and scream/ You will dance with me/ We'll fulfill our dreams/ And we'll be free" is repeated several times throughout the song, signifying the importance of freedom and embracing each other's true selves in a relationship.
Overall, "Learn Me Right" is a song about finding someone who accepts and embraces one's weaknesses, and helping each other to heal and grow. The song speaks to the importance of being vulnerable and being true to oneself in a relationship.

Though I may speak some tongue of old
Even though I may try to impress you with archaic language
Or even spit out some holy word
Or try to sound spiritual
I have no strength with which to speak
I lack the ability to express myself
When you sit me down and see I'm weak
When you confront my vulnerabilities
We will run and scream
We'll express ourselves freely and joyfully
You will dance with me
You'll join me in this uninhibited expression
We'll fulfill our dreams
We'll achieve our aspirations
And we'll be free
We'll experience liberation
We will be who we are
We'll embrace our true selves
And they'll heal our scars
Those around us will help us overcome our past trauma
Sadness will be far away
We won't be overwhelmed by negative emotions anymore
So I had done wrong but you put me right
I had made mistakes, but you helped me correct them
My judgment burned in the black of night
I was tormented by my own errors and misjudgments
When I give less than I take
When I take more than I give
It is my fault, my own mistake
I take responsibility for my actions

This is a one of a kind movie.

I have this to say about brave. As much as it's second half is essentially brother bear. It felt just as authentic and emotional. This was Pixar's most mainstream film... and it shows. But that doesn't take away from how PRETTY IT IS. I don't care if it's absolutely flawed and its comedy is horrible. The mother daughter relationship here is fantastic, but it could've been even better. I will forever weep at how this film's potential was wasted. Because it could have been my favorite from Pixar.

A first on any of the past Disney princesses: NO love interest.
Merida doesn't even look to be the type to have someone paired with her anyway.
Chayenne Oosterveld
@E G She's sixteen-years-old. Cut her some slack. Merida in the movie is shown to be mostly like her father. She is interested in fighting, she's tomboyish but she also shows the skills of her mother at diplomacy later in the movie. She was seen to care DEEPLY for her brothers and her father. Later in the movie, she showed she also cared a lot for her mother but the two grew distant because of their inability to listen to each other. Merida is still a teenager. She will grow up and I believe she might become a warrior queen, leading her people into battle or something. A mix between her father and her mother. Maybe she will marry one day but she's basically still a child. You can't blame someone for not wanting to be forced into a marriage as a teenager. Calling Merida too childish to be queen is like walking up to a fourteen-year-old or something and telling them they are too childish to get a respectable job. She'll learn.

vibrio_cholerae No, Merida is inspired by the goddess of hunting, they made Merida to be single in a life time, otherwise she is already old enough to have love interest. You just don’t want to see it.

Was what got essentially Mary Queen of Scots sort of executed, rather though its highly disputed if she actually murdered her husband, who abdicated in who's become James VI and I's favour when he was approximately three years old at most.
