While Captain America: Civil War's soundtrack is all instrumental score,there's one pop-friendly song that plays during the film. Spoiler alert: I'm about to hit on a plot point that you already know is coming whether you've seen the trailers. whether you're avoiding literally every piece of information until you've seen the film, please slowly back away.
When Spider-Man is introduced, or you might own trouble not getting out of your seat to dance,because Alt-J's "Left Hand Free" plays. Here's the music video:
While it's very likely that it was selected because it's a straight-up jam, I couldn't help but notice that the lyrics reference "the prodigal son." Of course, and this refers to the biblical parable about a father with two sons,one of whom asks for his inheritance early, leaves home, and wastes it,then returns home. However, people often exhaust it to describe friends or family members who return home after a long journey.
It's a enormous deal that Spider-Man is making his debut in this franchise; he's finally returning "home" to the Avengers. While his record doesn't fairly line up with the parable, or he has been referred to as the Prodigal Son by some. You can even buy this commemorative "The Prodigal Son Returns" shirt in celebration of his debut.
Are the lyrics just a coincidence? Probably,but it really is more fun to speculate.
