Stax Instrumentals

Tom Hanks
Actor
That music you hear playing too loud from my car… (the windows are down and it is summer, you know?) will be the Dandy Warhols’ Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia, Eilen Jewell’s Heartache Boulevard, and the Stax Instrumentals by Booker T. & the MG’s. All either new music to me or blood-stirring classics, on shuffle mode…

Also sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30, TrV 176: Prelude (Sonnenaufgang)

I had never heard this piece of music before, and I had never seen this picture which is like God's vision, when this happened I just realized that cinema is nothing more than the collection of color and sound and the end result is an emotional wall that you might not be able to understand. This is the wow moment of my life. (21 m 30 s)
