"J Is for Joy" was conceived by screenwriter Will Aldis for the film ''[[The Space Between]]''. Songwriter [[Rivers Cuomo]] was instructed to write a song inspired by the song "[[Wikipedia:Julia (Beatles song)|Julia]]" by [[the Beatles]].<ref name="songnotes">"Song Notes.docx", ''[[Alone XIII: The Pacific Daydream Years]]''</ref> The song is sung in the film by [[Kelsey Grammer]] as the character Micky Adams (named Billy Adams in the script). The only Cuomo composition on the soundtrack to be performed "live" within the diegesis of the film, "J Is for Joy" is sung by the character Micky, at the climax of the film, for his daughter, Julia ([[Wikipedia:Julia Goldani Telles|Julia Goldani Telles]]), who has grown up believing the song is ''not'' about her. The lyrics about the "dying balloon" appear in the film's script and reference a photograph seen earlier in the story. | "J Is for Joy" was conceived by screenwriter Will Aldis for the film ''[[The Space Between]]''.
