| A: | The music is "Philadelphia" and is played and sung by Neil Young. The version heard in the film, which is actually the second arrangement, is much more melancholy. The first arrangement, which Jonathan was originally going to include in the film, is the original version of the melody. Jonathan thought it was "too light emotionally" for a film with a dark ending. He felt that Neil's original melody was "too Pretty", "Too Cheery", "Too romantic". So, John asked Neil to darken the melody a bit, changing just a chord here and a note there. Jonathan had Neil bring the script home with him, and asked him to base the changes to his melody on the ending of the film. Neil flew home to Canada and did just that, and that's how the melody for the version heard in the film came to be. (thanks to Annabelle, Eugene, Oregon ) add more info |
