Hans Zimmer's Time from the movie Inception and also John Murphy's
Adagio in D minor for the movie Sunshine are very popular pieces
because of their spiritual import. Zimmer's piece is really very simple
showing how often simplicity trumps over complexity in music. Danny
Boyle's Sunshine has been called the greatest science fiction ever
because of it's deep spiritual import. It is definitely one of my
favorite films.

I suspect some of you even if you're not a musician were once shown how
to play Blue Moon chords on a piano. That chord progression, also
known as We want Cantor, has been used in many other pop songs. The
chord progression based on steps of a major scale are one, six, two,
five, one or in the key of G:
G Em Am D G or usually just the first four chords repeated but I've put
the final G there for a reason.
Composers use composition devices to come up with new ideas. One of
those is a retrograde which is usually a melody reversed or mirrored.
This also can be done with chord progressions which is even more
unusual. So if you reverse that Blue Moon chord progression you get:
G D Am Em
Start on the Am like this:
Am Em G D
and you get this:
