George Harrison: Why 'My Sweet Lord' Appeared in 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2'
“My Sweet Lord” by George Harrison appeared in a scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. During an interview, director James Gunn explained why he chose to use the song in his film. Notably, Gunn said the song was related to one of the characters in the film.Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 features classic hits such as Fleetwood Mac‘s “The Chain,” Cat Stevens‘ “Father and Son,” and the Electric Light Orchestra‘s “Mr. Blue Sky.” According to Rolling Stone, Gunn said the music in the film is supposed to reflect the taste of Meredith Quill, Star-Lord’s mother. “She’s a music lover, but she’s completely not elitist,” Gunn said. “If it’s something that’s thought of as goofy and pop, she likes it. If it’s cool or funk, she likes it.”
