The instrumental opening draws on the film adaptation's own score and on American folk and classical traditions to evoke Tara, the antebellum South, and the devastation of war. The vocal half moves through songs of longing, endurance, home, and a vanishing way of life, reflecting Scarlett and Rhett's stormy bond and the South's painful transformation.
