When asked by fans about clues to the film's ending, Cameron Crowe said, "Songs for the film were chosen so that the lyrics constantly relay the emotion of the scene. When the characters aren't speaking, the lyrics take over and continue to carry the set emotion.....listen to them closely. For example, the song that plays over David leaving Sophia's in the morning is Jeff Buckley's, 'Last Goodbye,' which that morning was there last one true goodbye. Yes, they see each other after this, but after the car wreck when both of their lives are forever changed. 'Last Goodbye' also contains the lyrics: 'Kiss me, please kiss me, but kiss me out of desire, babe not consolation' which follows David's plight rather well (as the next time he sees her is after the accident and he wants her affections but not sympathy for his disfigurement). Bruce Springsteen's 'The River' album (featured in the closing montage) also has some lyrical significance. One of the best lines from the song 'The River', is: 'Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse?' Also, two R.E.M. songs are featured. Don't forget what R.E.M. stands for: Rapid Eye Movement. As in a state of sleep. It's when you dream."
