Musical score at the end of his speech
Anyone know the name of the musical scores played at the end of Obama's speech? It fit the moment perfectly and made it all the more amazing to watch and be apart of

2. I know the first song was Brooks and Dunn's "Only in America"
but I don't know the other musical scores:

Only In America

Sun coming up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Starin' at the faces in her rearview mirror
Looking at the promise of the Promised Land
One kid dreams of fame and fortune
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president


Chorus:
Only in America
(Dreaming in red, white and blue)
Only in America
(Where we dream as big as we want to)
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Sun going down on an La. freeway
Newlyweds in the back of a limousine
A welder's son and a banker's daughter
All they want is everything
She came out here to be an actress
He was the singer in a band
They just might go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been


Chorus:
Only in America
(Where we dream in red, white and blue)
Only in America
(Where we dream as big as we want to)
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Yeah only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Yeah we dream as big as we want to

Pretty ironic, though. Brooks and Dunn (Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn) are hardcore country musicians who are into NASCAR and they probably supported Bush in 2000 and 2004. Gotta wonder how the Obama camp got B&D's permission to use their song. Maybe B&D look at McCain and the GOP now as losers, and they don't like hanging around losers.

7. Yep. "Titans Spirit" score by Trevor Rabin.
From Remember the Titans. It was a great choice.

4. My daughter thought one piece was "Finlandia".
Don't know though. I've heard several people say they wish there was a cd of the Dem Convention music.

5. I know! It was just perfect-- I know it was a bit melodramatic but it was like a movie soundtrack
except it was actually happening but better! Just soooo surreal.
