The Song of the Family – The Song of the Family is a melody that Kino or another character may hear in their head during moments of warmth and happiness. The reader, naturally, never actually hears this song. However, whenever someone is said to be hearing it, it is understood that the character is happy. This is important in understanding how Kino changes through the story. As he begins his descent into insanity, consumed by greed and fear, he stops hearing this song altogether, communicating to the reader that he no longer feels any happiness.

The Song of Evil – This is basically the opposite of the Song of the Family. A character hears this song when they are in the presence of evil, or an evil person, such as the doctor or the priest. This song is heard more and more frequently by Kino as the story progresses, marking his descent into madness.
