Cue of the Week: “Jay’s Theme”

This small slice of acoustic/folk pop heralded a sympathetic character’s arrival in the film “Siren”. Unlike an actual pop song, it doesn’t so much as end as ease out – a common technique to let the score exit gracefully without the audience becoming too aware of the change. Guitars courtesy of the ever-talented Tom Strahle.
