Sometimes you want a song to be more like a score. Yes, it’s a song, but it’s not only a song. It’s a piece of music, too. It unfolds to the rhythm of the scene. It doesn’t comment on what’s happening. Instead, it is an essential part. It’s the tenderness in her expression, the confetti falling, the view outside the window of a moving car. Lyrics, if there are any, are the voice of the characters, the viewer, or perhaps an angel watching from somewhere in between.
