| Q: | What is the song playing in the trailer for this movie? (from Grace in Florida) |
| A: | The song playing at the very beginning of the trailer is called "Briony." It's right on the soundtrack. But the song playing more towards the end of the trailer (which is my favorite and took me forever to track down as well) is called "The Vision" by X-Ray dog, a song made the just for the trailer.

| Q: | What's the song the soldiers sing in the bar when in Dunkirk??? (from lucy in london) |
| A: | In "Elegy for Dunkirk", the song that the soldiers can be heard singing is called "Whittier Hymn". Lyrics:
Dear Lord and Father of mankind, Forgive our foolish ways!
Re-clothe us in our rightful mind, In purer lives thy service find,
In deeper reverence praise. In deeper reverence praise.
In simple trust like theirs who heard, Beside the Syrian sea,
The gracious calling of the Lord, Let us, like them, without a word
Rise up and follow thee.
Rise up and follow thee.
O Sabbath rest by Galilee! O calm of hills above, Where Jesus knelt
to share with thee The silence of eternity, Interpreted
by love! Interpreted by love!
Drop thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives
confess The beauty of thy peace. The beauty of thy peace.
Breathe through the heats of our desire Thy coolness
and thy balm; Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; Speak through the
earthquake, wind, and fire, O still small voice of calm!
O still small voice of calm!
