: The iconic title theme is a reimagining of Blind Willie Johnson's "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground," which Cooder called "the most soulful, transcendent piece in all American music". Few soundtracks are as inseparable from their films

: Cooder aimed for a sound that blended naturally with wind and air, avoiding "fancy harmonic references" to maintain a raw, atmospheric feel. The main theme is played in Open D Tuning (D-A-D-F#-A-D)

Few soundtracks are as inseparable from their films as Ry Cooder’s haunting score for Paris, Texas . Using a hollow-body guitar and a slide, Cooder captured the vast, lonely expanse of the American Southwest, mirroring Travis Henderson’s (Harry Dean Stanton) silent trek through the desert.

Want to capture that desert mood? The main theme is played in Open D Tuning (D-A-D-F#-A-D). You can find tabs and lessons at The Weissenborn Information Exchange .
