I think I started the Titanic story.
Even though I drank about 10 Guinness that night, I DEFINATELY heard Rob Evan say to someone at Joe's Pub March 2006, that 'Is Nothing Sacred' was '..going to be in Titanic'.
Have never read why Jim hooked up with Don Black, for what seems like a one-off, so a movie submission would make sense to me.
Maybe Jim submitted it without Black's knowledge?
'Cry To Heaven' & '...Tongues' seem incomplete to me, and are almost musical reprises in their current form?
In any case 'Vespers/Gotham City' is the best use of the gorgeous melody.
