[1] The film makes references to The Pied Piper of Hamelin by Robert Browning, which influenced composer Mychael Danna's music.

He used a Persian ney flute along with old instruments such as recorders, crumhorns and lutes,[2] creating "a pseudo-medieval score"[3] which was performed by the Toronto Consort, conducted by David Fallis.

[7] Polley's character, Nicole, is an aspiring singer before the accident, and is seen on stage performing the Tragically Hip's "Courage (for Hugh MacLennan)" and Jane Siberry's "One More Colour".

[10] Gramophone magazine gave the soundtrack a positive review, writing "A dreamy piece for keyboards, as well as other delicate atmospheres, makes the viewer/listener aware of the transforming power of grief".

[5] MTV wrote "the soundtrack, which also includes Polley's cover of Toronto singer-songwriter Jane Siberry's 'One More Colour,' plus an original score by Canadian composer Mychael Danna, provides positive counterbalances to the bleak images on the film".
