3 | “Delicate” | Damien Rice | (S1E17: “…In Translation”) Juliet, unfortunately, would likely never go “downtown.” No.
However, during the book club meeting, Juliet and her neighbors run outside after a presumed earthquake to see Oceanic Flight 815 crashing overhead, and Ben (Michael Emerson) giving orders to her neighbors Ethan (William Mapother) and Goodwin (Brett Cullen) to infiltrate the survivor camps, and the camera panning back on the neighborhood to show that they are actually a secluded community on the island. “Downtown” is the perfect song for this opener, making it seem like Juliet is tired of suburban life and wants to go to someplace more urban. She bakes cupcakes, goes to a book club meeting and converses with neighbors. The opening is a bait and switch, showing Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) getting ready for the day in her quaint home in a seeming flashback. 1 on this list, in that both open with the shot of an eye, followed by a new character selecting a song and turning it on while they get ready for the day. Season three’s opener is a direct callback to No. 4 “Downtown” | Petula Clark | (S3E1: “A Tale of Two Cities”) As Charlie would later learn from Desmond though, he is destined to die on the island, and only Desmond can potentially save him. In one of these “flashes,” he runs into Charlie performing “Wonderwall” on the streets of London.Ĭharlie specifically sings the line “maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me.” At the time, it may seem like “Lost” simply managed to get the rights to play a cool song on their show. He begins having flashes of his time in London before he shipwrecked on the island. Instead, Charlie Pace (Dominic Monaghan) performs it in two separate but nearly identical sequences as Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) travels through the time and space in “Flashes Before Your Eyes”.įollowing the second season’s cliffhanger, in which Desmond releases the electromagnetic buildup on the island and destroys the hatch, Desmond is displaced by time.
“Wonderwall” is a bit different from the other songs on this list, in that Oasis’ version does not actually appear on the show. 5 “Wonderwall” | Oasis | (S3E8: “Flashes Before Your Eyes”) Here are five of “Lost”s best uses of music.
When a character did stumble upon a song via a CD player, an old tape recorder, or a record player, the scenes worked extremely well – and became some of the show’s most memorable – due to the production team’s restraint. The fact that the characters were stuck on an island without technology (at least at first), made music a scarce resource. Songs only appeared when the characters could actually hear them. The show carefully employed a strict song policy throughout its six-season run. ABC’s “Lost”, the cultural behemoth that aired from 2004-2010 and the story of 48 plane crash survivors on an island in the South Pacific, rarely strayed from its incredible score from Michael Giacchino ( Alias, The Incredibles, Mission Impossible III).
