Everybody needs to listen to Gustav Holst's The Planets, not for hoity-toity nerd reasons, but because literally every epic sci-fi movie soundtrack for the past hundred years has been directly lifting shit from this one specific collection of pieces, and you deserve to hear your favourite motif in its native environment.

Saturn, the planet with the most known moons in our solar system: 146

So I've been listening to the Project Hail Mary soundtrack a lot lately, because it's fantastic and incredible and Daniel Pemberton is some sort of composing wizard that I think has maybe put crack into his scores given how addictive they are.

But there's one track that has been driving me up the walls because I knew it reminded me of something, I just couldn't quite put my finger on what. It was giving me that trippy feeling where you're expecting another song to start playing, and getting disoriented when it doesn't.

Well, yesterday, I finally figured it out.

It was because this part at the end of "Wake Up Buddy":

Visit Original Link

(around 1:00-1:15 on the official track)

was reminding me of this:

Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity (Isolated Section)

Visit Original Link

(0:00-0:07 on the official track)

Naturally, I had to try and blend them together so you can hear what my brain thought was going to happen.

Was this intentional? I have no idea. I certainly wouldn't put it past Pemberton, although it does seem to be a bit of a reach.

There's just something about that little musical cue, especially leading into the "party" scene, that's getting me.

Because "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity" is a bright, excited piece of music, exuberant and lofty and everything a triumph should sound like.

Because in the scene before this, Grace has found the Taumoeba. He has found their solution. He has found the savior of both their species. He's bred it to survive the correct atmospheric conditions. Their mission has been successful. The beginning of the track "Tau Amoeba," preceding "Wake Up Buddy," is so, so gloriously triumphant, but it's juxtaposed with Grace immediately turning to his companion's body and sobbing because the one person who was supposed to be doing this with him is not there, and may never be there again.

This should have been a moment of victory. But without Rocky, there is no joyfulness, no celebration. The saving of two entire worlds means nothing if Rocky is not there to do it with him.

And then, Rocky wakes up.

And finally, everything has been worth it, because with Rocky returns light and warmth and companionship and amazement, and their success has meaning, and they can celebrate together. Grace's friend has returned, and thus so has his joy.

Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity, indeed.

#i know i said i was going up the walls before figuring this out #but to be quite frank i am still going insane about it #perhaps even moreso #there's more i want to say but i fear it will be naught but incoherent screaming and crying #i will probably think more thoughts and compare rocky to jupiter more in the future once i find more ways to do so #something something jupiter protecting earth from oort cloud objects something something #rembles #project hail mary #ryland grace #rocky the eridian #phm movie #phm soundtrack #music #daniel pemberton #gustav holst #the planets #rem's stuff
