ONTD Original: Great use of songs in TV Shows - Part 1

[ljtryout]

"Breathe (2AM)" by Anna Nalick
Grey's Anatomy
Remember those first seasons of Grey's? This song has been in my phone since 2006 when she took the bomb out of the patient and it killed Kyle Chandler.

Rivers and Roads in the Chuck finale was just like chef’s kiss perfect

I feel like the right music creates and elevates a special feeling/mood/emotion. Not TV, I really loved The Farewell but I wasn’t a huge fan of the music. It was distracting. But in TV you get more chances with music

I agree. The music changing on DVD releases is the worst. I feel like it changes the mood so much

[weighty_ghost]

a bunch of the music from Supernatural changed on Netflix and its so jarring

[winter_lace]

I watched the first episode with a friend awhile ago because she wasn't sure she wanted to watch it or not and I was so out put by all the music changes. Half the reason I stopped watching was because they stopped with the classic rock soundtrack

Im sorry but "Make Your own Kind of Music" by Mama Cass will always be a part of the "Beautiful Thing" movie from 1996, one of the best LGBT movies. And this song fits perfectly into a story that movie tells us.

Such a great movie - I haven’t seen it in years. I want to watch it again now.

Seconding Solsbury Hill! That was the best ending to a series ever

[picturemegone]

Great picks. Halt & Catch Fire is so underrated.

HALT AND CATCH FIRE IS SO TRAGICALLY UNDERRATED UGH

Eyes Open is a great album

used for funny scenes, but The Sound of Silence on Arrested Development was iconic (and later copied for that viral ben Affleck video)

Like, emotional uses of songs are good, but this and Dear Sister are my favorites lol
