The song is somewhat dark and scary which I liked and because of that it really grabs your attention and makes you listen to each line individually.

I think this was a much better idea because it brought about a different feel to the film. I think that it would have gotten a little boring to listen to her speak her epilogue, but with the addition of music it made it more interesting. I think it was a good decision by Taymor to incorporate the epilogue in this way.
