At the beginning of the movie, the scene is of the small town where McDull lives, and the adjacent sea is vast and blue. Under the overlooking lens, the melodious Irish flute sounds, which is the prelude to the ballad "Down by the sally gardens". This famous song, composed based on the poem of the same name by the great Irish poet Yeats, has been covered by many singers, the most famous of which is the version by Irish singer Enya Brennan. However, in comparison, flutist Sir James Galway's music version seems more ethereal.
