#LOST SOUNDTRACK ANALYSIS (Michael Giacchino's score)
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. "LOST - Storytelling In Music" provides new, bite-sized soundtrack analysis videos on a weekly basis for those that just can't love the show enough!
This week, we're digging into a scene from LOST episode 2x09 "What Kate Did". The soundtrack playing during Shannon's funeral (aptly titled "Shannon's Funeral") features two recurring themes, as well as a minor recurring piano and string motif.

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 (hopefully) a weekly video, covering specific scenes from the show and their musical connections to each other.
