Romance Soundtrack Research 2

The film 'If I stay' uses this soundtrack in its trailer. The film is a romance/drama type of film which is a genre that interests me a lot. The trailer uses this song because it is slow and provokes emotions within the audience. It's lyrics reflect something bad (disequilibrium) happening and people having to overcome it which is appropriate for a film of the drama genre. The soundtrack was in the charts and widely enjoyed and therefore by using it the trailer appeals to a large audience as it catches their attention because many of them will recognise the song.
