I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find an edited version of "Battleflag" (the song from the end of "Be Still my Heart") on the web? I used to have an address, but I lost it. (I know this is in someone else's post, but the only reply isn't about the internet.)

Also, why is everyone saying Noah is leaving? I *know* he still has at least two years on his contract, as do Anthony Edwards and Eriq LaSalle. None of them will leave until 2002, and hopefully Anthony and Noah won't even leave then and will stay until 2004 when the show ends, because if they don't, "ER" will completely fall apart. I mean, it will be very different without Carol (I know I'll miss her), it's different without Doug, but I can NOT imagine what it would be like without Mark or Carter. They are really the only original staple characters left. (I feel a little differently about Peter, he doesn't seem as much of a staple anymore. Don't get me wrong, he's a great character, look what he did in "May Day," but the show would also survive without him, I think. Once Carter is squared away.)

Anyway, thanks for answers to either one or both of my questions.

You can get an edited version of the song on the "Forces of Nature" soundtrack. I don't know where you can find it on the internet though. Sorry I can' be more help.

I don't know anything about Noah leaving, but I doubt he is. (I certainly hope not!)

I've heard the rumors about Noah leaving, but consider the sources-- mostly tabloids, and people repeating what they've read in tabloids. I'm not too worried.

On the other hand, remember that Sherry Stringfield left before her contract was up too. She had to stay off TV for a couple of years, but if anybody on ER was pursuing a movie career, that might not stand in their way (I think).

Still, I'm pretty sure we'd hear from a more reliable source if Noah was leaving. I'm not worried.

The entire song was on the net briefly after the epi first aired but then it was gone pretty quickly...I'm guessing because it broke copyright rules...which is why I put the post on the other thread about the soundtrack. The feds are (rightfully, IMO) cracking down on websites with music where money isn't going to the artists and songwriters so you might find the song on the net somewhere in some form, but I'm doubting that more and more.
