#LOST SOUNDTRACK ANALYSIS (Michael Giacchino's score)
"This is why I'm here. I know what's happening."
A lack of focus on a single character offers room for Michael Giacchino to explore a total of 47 recurring motifs. But it also raises the question... Who, if anyone, is the MVP of the season premiere? Go watch it!
⏳⚠️📓
So many years after the show's ending, Michael Giacchino's amazing soundtrack for LOST still has many, many secrets to uncover. Not only does every main character have their own theme music, but much like the interconnected writing of the show itself, Giacchino's score connects locations, scenes, emotions and conflicts in unbelievably brilliant ways. For the foreseeable future, I will be exploring Michael Giacchino's soundtrack from ABC's LOST in a weekly video, covering all episodes of the show and their musical connections to each other.

This variation on the shows main theme plays in four scenes throughout the shows first season. Though differently edited, its likely its appearances in Whatever the Case May Be” (which does include additional melody) and “Special” are reused, rather than re-recorded.

Michael Giacchino considers himself a storyteller first and a musician second. On LOST, his soundtrack doesnt 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 whats happening on screen. This way, understanding Giacchinos rich collection of themes and leitmotifs is another way to further appreciate the score, as well as the show in general.
