What was that song?
When the Obama victory speech ended last night, the bird’s-eye camera work and stirring music seemed so cinematic: a Frank Capra ending, Field of Dreams-style cinematography and a lump-in-the-throat John Williams score.

Here’s a video of the full track. Look away when the virulent anti-semite Mel Gibson shows up. If you’d like a transcript of the victory speech, you can find it here.
