My wife and I hit that new HBO show yesterday, The Leftovers…not bad…after True Blood (which I can’t wrap my head around, but Coral loves it). There is a song they used in the trailer and also during Sunday’s pilot.
During one of the big climaxes of the episode, a cult comes to demonstrate during a “heroes day” memorial service. And as the tensions build toward what you feel will be showdown, James Blake’s “Retrograde” soundtracks the scene.
Powerful song, powerful scene. I’ve had the song firmly planted in my head since.
Max Richter does the sound for the show. Here is clip of him talking about selecting the tunes.
Go with yourself.
