It's my favorite movie score and because I had such a crush on Christopher Reeve. The music made me love him even more. You know when you hear music in a movie and it makes you fall in love with the characters? That's what happened.

I can just sing everything the way I want to. So I sang all the instruments with my voice and just went with it.
