The theme song for the Friday Night Lights movie, "Your Hand In Mine" by Explosions in the Sky, is different from the theme song for the TV series. The Friday Night Lights theme song is an iconic part of the football series - but while it is often credited to Explosions In The Sky, the actual composer of the theme song is someone else.

Since their song “Your Hand in Mine” was used as the instantly recognizable theme of the Friday Night Lights film in 2004, Explosions in the Sky have become a pervasive mainstream presence in movies, TV shows, and commercials, with an influence that’s rippled far beyond their own licensed tracks.

“Your Hand In Mine” is credited all over the Internet as the show’s opening theme song, but listen closely and you’ll realize it’s not quite. The actual song over the credits, called, appropriately, “Friday Night Lights Theme,” is composed by W.G. Snuffy Walden and sounds so much like an EITS song it might as well be.
