John Legend and Common are favored to score an Oscar nomination for “Glory,” the original song that plays over the end credits of “Selma.” But “Glory” isn’t the only music moment in the film that should have fans racing to Spotify after exiting the theater. There’s also Fink’s “Yesterday Was Hard On All Of Us,” which director Ava DuVernay uses during a montage of real-life footage from Martin Luther King Jr.’s march to Montgomery, Alabama.
