Lyrics:

Toni Collette performs a show stopper alternative to Mozart during the climactic theatrical event, and then returns at end credits time to perform a closing number on the soundtrack.

The cast credits roll up to the sounds of Colin Hay, with accordion, mainly miming along to Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries”, and when the dedication of the film to Bruno Lawrence comes up, the music for Collette’s number begins - a version of Neil Finn’s “Don’t Dream It’s Over”.

Lyrics for the closing song as heard in the film:

There is freedom within There is freedom without Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There’s a battle ahead Many battles are lost But you’ll never see the end of the road While you’re travelling with me (with chorus) Hey now, hey now Don’t dream it’s over (with chorus) Hey now, hey now When the world comes in (with chorus) They come, they come To build a wall between us You know they won’t win... Now I’m towing my car There’s a hole in the roof My possessions are causing me suspicion But there’s no proof In the paper today Tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the TV page (with chorus) Hey now, hey now Don’t dream it’s over (with chorus) Hey now, hey now When the world comes in (with chorus) They come, they come To build a wall between us You know they won’t win

(Instrumental interlude)

Now I’m walking again To the beat of the drum And I’m counting the steps To the door of your heart Only shadows ahead Barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief (with chorus) Hey now, hey now Don’t dream it’s over (with chorus) Hey now, hey now When the world comes in (with chorus) They come, they come To build a wall between us You know they won’t win (with chorus) Hey now, hey now Don’t let them win (with chorus) Hey now, hey now Yeahhh … (with chorus) Hey now, hey now …(song begins to fade down and finishes over black) Don’t let them win (with chorus) Hey now, hey now …

Music in the film:

It almost goes without saying that music runs through the film courtesy of Mozart, but there are any number of other examples of music turning up in the action.

Colin Hay appears at the for initial auditions and then goes through the film with an accordion in hand, ready for his final fling with Wagner at the end of the movie.

Other actors, including Pamela Rabe, Jacki Weaver, Paul Chubb and David Wenham, get a chance to offer a few ditties, and Aden Young picks up a guitar for a little strumming.

The biggest outing is intended to be Toni Collette performing a show stopper alternative to Mozart during the climactic theatre event, and she returns at end of show to provide an end credits number.

A few examples of music in the film, indicative rather than comprehensive:
