"F" is fight

'Bout the time my daddy left to fight the big war,
Saw my first pistol in the general store,
In the general store, I was thirteen,
Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen....
                                   -- "The Devil's Right Hand" lyrics

Gustavo's gorgeous score was written before the movie was filmed.

"H" is harmonically

Ennis didn't think Jack's harmonica playing was very harmonically pleasing.

"I" is imbuing

"Santaolalla pre-recorded his score and songs for the Ang Lee film before shooting commenced, imbuing his score with the stark loneliness of E. Annie Proulx's original short story."
-- Michael McLennan, Film Music on the Web

"L" is limelight

The soundtrack for Brokeback Mountain thrust several classic songs back into the limelight, e.g., Willie Nelson's "He Was a Friend of Mine" and Linda Ronstadt's "It's So Easy."

Jack did his best in belting out the melody to "Water-Walkin' Jesus".

Willie Nelson's version of Bob Dylan's song "He Was A Friend of Mine" plays as the credits begin to roll for Brokeback Mountain.

He died on the road
He died on the road
He just kept on moving
Never reaped what he could sow
And he was a friend of mine
 - Bob Dylan

The tempo marking on a fast song like "An Angel Went Up in Flames" is presto.
