This depressed theme continues throughout the album, especially on songs such as Bathroom Girl and Dark Messages. As the songs go on throughout the album, we hear reoccurrences of themes - both musical and emotional. Highschool Lover is a refrain of Playground Love but without the vocals. It is also listed as Theme from The Virgin Suicides and its longing tone sets the musical mood for this film. Other pieces such as The Word Hurricane and Dead Bodies return Air to a state more reminiscent of the work we heard on Moon Safari.
Hurricane begins with a more up-tempo feel, with vocal chanting mixed in.
However, the music and chanting cuts back midway through, and a female voice enters, offering a definition of a hurricane. The music comes back in, swirls around, and becomes much more avant-garde, incorporating bursts of piano, twisting around until it all dies out. Air has succeeded in making a beautiful, yet somehow disturbing piece of art to accompany The Virgin Suicides. One cannot help but become entranced by the genius these two men possess. If the film is anywhere near as mystifying as its score, it will be one of the great films of the year.
