The story of Mia & Morton is told without words, so it was important that the music augment the emotions present on screen. In addition to being scored to the unique emotional ebb and flow of the piece, the words to “Don’t Stop” by Fleetwood Mac capture the message of the film—one of creativity, craft, and forward thinking—and act as a monologue representing what the characters are thinking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aas70lfybEQ
