The ‘main suspense motif’ from LOST appears frequently throughout the entire show. It makes at least one appearance in every season. Often played on Giacchino's signature harp, the motif tends to accompany other established themes and motifs. Specifically, it's regularly combined with the ‘Secrets and lies motif’ introduced in “Homecoming”, as well as Desmond's ‘psychic’ theme from “Every Man For Himself”.

Michael Giacchino considers himself a storyteller first and a musician second. On LOST, his soundtrack doesn't just suit the story of the show - it adds to it. By attaching certain scenes to established characters, locations, emotions and events through his music, Giacchino provides additional context and meaning to what's happening on screen. This way, understanding Giacchino's rich collection of themes and leitmotifs is another way to further appreciate the score, as well as the show in general.
