What They’re Saying:

Rachel Portman: “I spent quite a while writing the main title theme for We Were the Lucky Ones. I felt I had to know the story’s material really well before writing it. I wanted it to be compelling, emotional, and full of longing whilst also honoring the hope as well as the loss in this inspiring story. The solo cello’s rich voice seemed right for the protagonist in the theme while the piano and string accompaniment kept up momentum, moving the story forward.”

About We Were the Lucky Ones:
