Guitar chord Exit Music

Exit Music (For a Film) by Radiohead was written specifically for the closing credits of the 1996 film Romeo + Juliet. Although inspired by the film, the song carries a broader and deeper meaning, reflecting themes of despair, escape, and criticism of authority. The song is also noted for its sharp dynamic shift, moving from a serene beginning to an intense climax.
