*Hypothetically*, if i were to write this scene an emotional background song.

I would make donnie talking like a synth piano on the background getting closer in a major key, while the main theme being something with a viola, cello and violin (maybe a harp or a classical guitar as backup) in minor key.

The Leo melody would be roughly the same used in this scene ⬇

*Hypothetically*, If I Were To Write This Scene An Emotional Background Song.

Except a lot more quietly with the focus on the viola, something akin to like loneliness. Just to add, in this same scene, the melody would never go into the base note of the minor scale, always leaving it open to see if Donnie would answer.

Anyways, in the actual cool spirit song. The melody would divert from that initial theme with more instruments, and the melody would get closer to the base note while the synth gets louder. And right before Donnie pulls Leo out of the spiritual water, the melody changes key, in the 2nd or 3rd note of the scale im not sure which one fits best, to major probably like a three of Donnie's to help with the whole "two people one soul" kinda vibe we getting.

Getting off topic, in the moment Donnie pulls Leo out, we get like a slowmo shot while only the viola is present in the major key and it does the initial melody while Donnie answers with his counterpart melody before all the instruments go back again to chaos and it drifts off in a melody together still with the piano synth supporting the viola as they fall to the real world where Leo awakes with the base note of Donnie's scale with the sound of a viola!!!

Though i gotta add, it the climax of the joined melody is NOT melodic!! Its frantic and hopeless and very much not agreeing with each other on this!! They just have naturally complementing scales which turn this into something pleasant to hear and not nonsensical gibberish.

For the base rhythm tho imagine something like Leo's melody on a very strict 4/4 and Donnie's in a 12/8. I think it would be really funny to give Donnie a really annoying time signature, like if an orchestra were to play his theme no one would be having a good time in practice. (only at first tho)
