"This season opens with Emmylou Harris' 'Heaven Only Knows'..."

"As always, the show opens with the morning newspaper lying in the
driveway of the Soprano home. But instead of Tony Soprano (a
better-than-ever James Gandolfini) shuffling down the driveway of his
home to pick up the paper, daughter Meadow (Jamie-Lynn DiScala) drives
over it with her car. What follows is a snapshot of a family in
turmoil and a mob boss under siege. Leaves are falling, winds are
blowing and -- in another example of the series' brilliant use of
unexpected music -- Emmylou Harris' desperate 'Heaven Only Knows' is
wailing on the soundtrack."
