In his recent interview with The Prog Report, Trevor noted that he had a few opportunities to work on more song-oriented material during his years as a film scorer, and one of the pieces he mentioned was written in collaboration with singer-songwriter Bryan Adams and producer Mutt Lange for the film National Treasure. The composition was not used (one assumes for the end credits sequence), but it isn't difficult for long-time fans to put two-and-two together to figure out that the song is "We Found What We Were Looking For" which appeared on Adams' 2008 album 11 (a straightforward title for his eleventh release). Trevor did not perform on this version, but a verification that it was composed for the film is one of the publishing companies listed in the credits: Wonderland Music, which is a subsidiary of the Disney Music Group. The National Treasure films were, of course, distributed by Walt Disney Pictures.
Although to my mind what the main motif of the song sounds most like is the "Page 47" theme from National Treasure: Book of Secrets. It's possible the song could have been written for the sequel rather than the first installment.
So it would seem that this particular meeting (likely arranged by Lange, who was originally a colleague of Trevor's in the South Africa era) is what led to Trevor working with Bryan on "Never Let Go" for The Guardian - beyond Adams' affirmed hitmaker status on other movie-related songs such as "Heaven" and "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" - but in fact that song was released before "We Found What We Were Looking For" even though it had been recorded after. And then in December 2008 Trevor made a rare appearance to perform with Bryan during his solo acoustic concert at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles.
