He did go walkabout for several months without Amy & Rory--with no explanation that we've heard. I'm reminded of when he fibbed to Amy at the end of Eleventh Hour that he had no reason for coming back.

Diegetic music is music that has its source in events in the show, while non-diegetic music is soundtrack that characters don't hear.<br /><br />I suspect this episode was partially inspired by the writers making a joke about, "What if the Doctor could hear that woman who's always singing at dramatic moments?"
