I loved David’s music for years now, thanks to my dad, but I dont really see this song anywhere in the movie, maybe something else by him though. Looking through his stuff, something older, like “december” or something similar might be okay. I like his voice as a kind of tone for the film, so I’m sure there’s something there for use.He’s definitley amazing though!
