The track "The Water's Great", that plays while in a hot spring, has the same melody as "Open Sesame Tofu", which plays during The Wess Dance to open a few doors in the game, but is much slower. Although The two pieces of music and the events they accompany seem to be completely unrelated.

Marilyn Manson's 9th studio album, The Pale Emperor, was printed on PlayStation discs. Hassan Rahim and Willo Perron, the art directors of The Pale Emperor's disc and case, sourced the CDs from Sony directly. This means that the discs Rahim and Perron worked with, and the discs on which the album was distributed, came from the exact same plant as the PlayStation's discs did.

Much like how Bowser's laugh in Super Mario 64 is sped up for use as the Boo's laugh, Ganondorf's laughter is sped up to create the laughter of the Poe Sisters in the Forest Temple.

Johnson felt having short pieces of music that looped without reacting to the player would be a "missed opportunity", and wanted to create music that changed while still containing a composed emotional arc. Creative Director Jenova Chen met with Wintory at the start of the game's development to describe his vision for the project, and Wintory left the meeting and composed and recorded the main cello theme for the soundtrack that night. He continued to work on the soundtrack for the next three years, experimenting and discarding many ideas.

The music in Journey was composed by Austin Wintory, who also worked with thatgamecompany on the soundtrack for FlOw. Wintory worked closely on the soundtrack with sound designer Steve Johnson, as well as the programming team, so the music would dynamically tie in to both the actions of the player and sound effects caused by nearby game objects, and feel as if it were "unfolding in real time".

Spoiler:During the final hallucination of the game where the player is controlling a gun-wielding Joker, as he guns down Penguin, Riddler and Two-Face, the song "Only You (And You Alone)" by The Platters can be heard playing on a radio throughout the corridor where the villain trio are cowering.

This was the same song that Joker himself sung in the end credits of Batman: Arkham City.
