Music:

The film doesn’t have a credit for a composer for a conventional underscore, but rather there are three head credits for music supervision - Roger Grierson, Leah Warwick and Gary Seeger.

Music in the film:

A live band appears near the start of the film, and there is an inclination to dance in the film, with the music shifting from the nostalgia of Love and Other Catastrophes to a more upbeat club beat: Head Credits:

A beat-driven instrumental number runs over the opening footage, done home movie frame within the frame style with snatches of dialogue (a less rough, more upmarket version of the home movies opening for Love and Other Catastrophes).

We see Judy (Claudia Karvan) being snapped with Sally (Alice Garner) and Alice (Naomi Watts), while holding a degree in University grounds; Ewan (Tom Long) shaking hands in office drinks; Sally handing Judy a book she got her from America, How to Stop Falling in Love with Married Men, by Dr. S. Kazantzidis (Judy drops it on the pavement); Sally chopping off the bottom of a Christmas tree to fit it in the boot; the hero lads having a game of slapstick footy on a muddy ground and then leading a Swans cheer in the front bar; Judy reading a newspaper; Ewan lounging in a swimming pool; Sally tossing a cricket ball through a window and everybody scarpering; Joel (Aaron Jeffery) showing off his new SAAB convertible to a disapproving Amy (Loene Carmen); Neil (Felix Williamson) furtively reading Cosmopolitan; and then Sally and Alice watching as an electricity pole topples on to her car.

As all this slapstick goes on, the music develops a repetitive, heavy with echo, funk lyric, “music takes you high/er”, it being the Future Funk performance of Jerome Isma-Ae and Marcel Krieg’s number with the same name.

The music continues over a title reading “New Year’s Eve”, and then over fast-motion shots from on high of Sydney Harbour Bridge, a whip track along streetscapes and a supermarket shelf, fading out as the camera comes to rest on Claudia Karvan’s Judy picking out a box of condoms from the shelf, and telling Alice the world of romantic love is dead, finished. “It’s been fucked up the arse by pop culture …”

Tail credits:

The Bacharach/David number The Look of Love runs over most of the the tail credits. Lyrics as heard in the film:

The song begins as a smiling Alice comes into the kitchen, where Joel is preparing breakfast. He tells her the power’s back on, and she says that’s nice, and after a kiss and caress, she heads outside ...

The look of love Is in your eyes (Alice pauses to tenderly caress the head Sally as she lies on a couch with dog and Neil) The look your heart can't disguise … (Alice steps outside, sees Judy and Ewan on the beach, and as the song continues to play, they all eventually sit outside at a table, the water stretching behind them. Joel delivers food to the table and they all sit and raise glasses for a toast) The look of love Is saying so much more than Just words could every say And what my heart has heard Well it takes my breath away I can hardly wait to hold you Feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you Now that I have found you You've got the look of love It's on your face A look that time can't erase Be mine, tonight … (A high overhead shot looking down at the toasting six fades to black and end credits begin to roll) Let this be just the start of So many nights like this Let's take a lovers vow And then seal it with a kiss I can hardly wait to hold you Feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you Now that I have found you Don't ever go… (Extended saxophone solo with piano, strings and soft percussion ) I can hardly wait to hold you Feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you Now that I have found you ... Don't ever go Don’t ever go ... I love you so …

(There’s a final flourish from the saxophone, and then the sound of a jet crossing overhead wipes away the music.

For the last c 33 seconds of end credits, bush noises, waves on the shore and bird song fill the soundtrack).
