It’s recommended not only for fans of romance films but also as a song that gently supports anyone who has experienced heartbreak.

The FabelmansJohn Williams
Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical film The Fabelmans was released in November 2022.
The music was composed by John Williams, the composer who has partnered with Spielberg on numerous classics.
The film also marks the 50th anniversary of their collaboration.
The main theme, The Fabelmans, was recorded as a solo piano piece, and its warm sound—capturing even the surrounding air unique to acoustic instruments—is especially appealing.
Redemption SongBob Marley
In the Will Smith film I Am Legend, many Bob Marley songs are used.
All the lyrics chosen fit the movie well, but the most striking is probably Redemption Song used in the ending.
Like the film’s protagonist, Neville, Bob Marley passed away at a young age.
Hedwig’s ThemeJohn Williams
The Harry Potter film series has fans all over the world.
The piece that brings that wondrous magical world to life is Hedwig’s Theme.
It’s also affectionately known as the “Harry Potter theme song.” This work is by John Williams, who has composed numerous film scores.
Incidentally, the first time the piece is heard in the series is in the scene where Hogwarts Castle is shown.
Since it appears in each film, it’s fun to compare how it’s used in different places.
