00:00I will comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable
00:05On these 6 strings I'll sing my destiny
00:09I had an idea for that futuristic musical
00:12with this character, this young woman
00:14with a pompadour and a guitar in this wasteland.
00:17Like his father's father
00:20Odessa communicates through her music,
00:22and I am a very musical person,
00:24so I felt a really strong connection to her.
00:27I had this gut feeling
00:29that between the character and the music
00:31it was something that was meant to do.
00:37Odessa, since she's been a little girl,
00:39has been told she's going to change the world.
00:42Who do you think you are?
00:44I believe I'm the one.
00:45She has that song inside of her.
00:47That is her destiny.
00:54One of the things that I love about the music
00:56is that it's very connected to either the character
00:59who's singing it or the world that it's part of.
01:02I thought the music was smart and a whole other layer.
01:06It's fun, it's really heartfelt.
01:11All right, well, why don't you play me a tune, Rambler?
01:16Under the Stars is the song that Odessa
01:20sort of courts Yuri with.
01:23Cicada songs surround you
01:27That's when he's able to witness
01:30this musical, magical quality that she possesses.
01:34Lost under the stars
01:38Sadie, like Odessa, she just breathes music.
01:41I've never seen anything quite like it.
01:44Wrap your wild arms around me
01:47I was singing the songs probably seven months
01:50after I finished the movie,
01:52and it wasn't the songs I did, it was Sadie's songs.
01:56They feel like classics.
01:58No matter what kind of music you like,
02:01I think everyone will enjoy it.
02:03Music is the film's greatest superpower.
