Lux Aeterna

This might seem a little out there, but I recently heard a song from the movie Requiem for a Dream called Lux Aeterna and found that it really felt like a story and so I'd like to do a literary analysis of it for this blog. The most comparable thing I can think of is an epic story, full of emotion, adventure, and suspense. It's an orchestral piece composed by Clint Mansell and while I've never seen the movie for which it was made, I'm sure that it helps drive the story. Check it out here to see what I mean. What I'd like to do is analyze how the song flows and how it connects to the idea of a stories plot. In order to do this I'll relate each part of the song with the original Star Wars film and the hero's journey that drives it.
In roughly the first 30 seconds the song presents what could be seen as an exposition, introducing the song and the tone of the piece, just as in Star Wars when we're introduced to the universe far away and Luke Skywalker. Then it slowly moves into a rising action for the next minute, like when Luke gets 2 very important droids and meets the old hermit Obi-wan. At approximately the 1:30 mark suspense breaks out for the next 20 or so seconds. This part can be related to the stormtrooper attack where Luke's aunt and uncle are both killed, the call to action. Then the piece slows down and builds up slowly; this would correspond to Luke's decision to leave his home and his emergence into a new life, his leaving of the symbolic threshold. Then the action starts again and we get into the conflict at 2:30, the Millenium Falcon has been tractor-beamed into the Death Star. From here on out the song is becomes more and more dramatic, 3:30 helps mark the adventure inside the Death Star including the freeing of Princess Leia, the escape into the trash compactor, and ending with Obi-wan's battle with Darth Vader. At 4:00 the piece slows once more, parallel to the death of Obi-wan. The song rebuilds suspense and slowly rises in tone until finally at around 4:35 the Rebel fighters make the jump to attack the Death Star. This is when the song gets intense reaching it's climax, the fighters approach the enemy, pilots get shot down, and Luke enters into the famous trench run. The emotion and tone of this part of the song work too well in unison with the climax of this movie. Then at 6:15 it's done, the Death Star explodes, the song brings everything to a head and the resolution begins as it does in Star Wars.
A song is like any other piece of art, it can be analyzed and thought over just as any novel or painting can be. Lux Aeterna is a condensed story, everything is wrapped up into 6 minutes of absolute epicness that could only really be compared to something as extraordinary and awe inspiring as the original Star Wars film.
