This is a sample of Thomas Newman's piano-vocal setting of a sonnet by Edna St. Vincent Millay entitled: Time does not bring relief. Performing in the recording are Dr. Catherine Allard and Dr. John Jinright.

The song entitled "It Gets Better" is heard briefly in the film "Rupture" during Kenny's seduction of the girl and also during the final credits of the film, after Kenny frames his mother's lover for killing her and as Kenny is being assured by his school counselor that, in time, he'll recover. Music by Thomas Newman and Mike Pettry.
Caution: explicit lyrics. Do not listen if it will offend you. This is a very silly rap about two loser guys who attend a thanksgiving party. This is NOT based on fact:) Written by Thomas Newman and Mike Pettry.
