Before I Cry

The soundtrack comes interspersed with dialogue scenes from the film taking the listener along for a narrative ride, as well as a musical one. This tearjerker comes after the dialogue where Jackson, drunk and jealous, tells Ally she is ugly and untalented. We can only assume then, since the actual song is not in the movie, this was the song she wrote after their painful fight. Music is the way these characters cope, and this song has her asking all the questions she is scared to: "Have you said what you wanted to say?/Did you say what you wanted to say?"
