When she says "unless you love, your life will flash by" and the camera transitions from his running body to his shadow ... That is cinematic magic. Goosebumps alert.

Am I the only one who can't help but tear up during this scene?

Malick reuses the same music here (the "Domine Jesu Christe" from Berlioz's "Requiem") that he used in the lrad up to the asteroid striking earth. An interesting connection.

Does any one know what song is playing in the background?

So there is an extended cut of this incredible movie ?

The younger son died, and they are grieving.
