“You really are one of a kind...” Alright, this could be considered a bit of a stretch if it wasn't so darn specific (you're still free to consider it a stretch). This single repeating piano note appears in two scenes related to Kate, showing her strong moral compass and compassionate nature. In its first appearance, the motif is combined with the ‘Mystery theme’ (#2). When it appears again in season 5, it's combined with the “3rd island theme”, which doubles as a recurring motif representing Carole Littleton in three scenes... But we'll get to that MUCH later!

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.
