===Music=== [[Leonard Bernstein]] was the first choice to compose the score for the film but he was overbooked.<ref name="variety.com"/> At first, [[James Horner]] was unsure if he could work on the film due to scheduling restrictions until he watched a rough cut and was so moved that he accepted the job of scoring it. Robinson had created a [[temp track]] which was disliked by Universal executives. When the announcement of Horner as composer was made, the executives felt more positive because they expected a big orchestral score, similar to Horner's work for ''[[An American Tail]]''. Horner, in contrast, liked the temporary score, finding it "quiet and kind of ghostly". He decided to follow the idea of the temp track, creating an atmospheric soundtrack which would "focus on the emotions".<ref name=scrap/> The score was nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Original Score]] but lost to the [[Alan Menken]] score for ''[[The Little Mermaid (1989 film)|The Little Mermaid]]''.<ref name=oscars>{{Cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000003/1990/1?ref_=ttawd_ev_1|title = Academy Awards, USA (1990)| website=[[IMDb]] }}</ref> In addition to Horner's score, portions of several pop songs are heard during the film. They are listed in the following order in the closing credits: * "[[Crazy (Willie Nelson song)|Crazy]]", written by [[Willie Nelson]] and performed by [[Beverly D'Angelo]] * "[[Daydream (The Lovin' Spoonful song)|Daydream]]", written by [[John Sebastian]] and performed by [[the Lovin' Spoonful]] * "[[Jessica (instrumental)|Jessica]]", written by [[Dickey Betts]] and performed by [[the Allman Brothers Band]] * "[[China Grove (song)|China Grove]]", written by [[Tom Johnston (musician)|Tom Johnston]] and performed by [[the Doobie Brothers]] * "Lotus Blossom", written by [[Billy Strayhorn]] and performed by [[Duke Ellington]]
