The track "Remember, Remember" uses the "national anthem" part of the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky, and "Knives And Bullets (And Cannons Too)" incorporates the piece in its final two minutes.
The second track in the ending credits is "BKAB" by independent producer Ethan Stoller. It features excerpts of speeches by Malcolm X and Gloria Steinem. It also samples two Bollywood songs one of which is "Chura ke dil meraaa .. goriya chali", composed by Anu Malik, a popular and successful Bollywood music director.
Several songs used in the film were omitted from the soundtrack. These included the first track to be played in the background of the movie's ending credits, "Street Fighting Man" by The Rolling Stones. Beethoven's 5th Symphony, and "Long Black Train" by Richard Hawley, "Yakety Sax" by Boots Randolph and James Rich are also omitted.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“If this be love, to clothe me with dark thoughts,
Haunting untrodden paths to wail apart;
My pleasures horror, music tragic notes,
Tears in mine eyes and sorrow at my heart.
If this be love, to live a living death,
Then do I love and draw this weary breath.”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
“If I could believe the Quakers banned music because church music is so damn bad, I should view them with approval.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“Let us describe the education of our men.... What then is the education to be? Perhaps we could hardly find a better than that which the experience of the past has already discovered, which consists, I believe, in gymnastic, for the body, and music for the mind.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
