Danny Yount - Six Feet Under (Opening)

[@BenHoneycutt87]

Everyone who has watched this show has been touched by it in some way. It never truly leaves you.

[@pianomanhere]

It's true. And the manner in which it presents raw aspects of the lives of the living augments the realities of how the show addresses death. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's also one of the best dramatic TV series ever made.

[@NS9213]

So very true Ben.

[@RIZFERD]

those days the internet was more excited than today, yahoo, msn messenger, discman, flatscreen tube tv, hbo, cinemax, vhr, sex and the city, nokia and sony ericsson symbian os, etc.. call me old because I don't like netflix, no tiktok, no spotify and all those gimmicks

[@xKarenWalkerx]

I remember watching the theme as a little kid. Watching the people die in the beginning of every episode, read their lifespan years on the screen and then watching this theme. First time I ever truly learned about death and how short life is.

[@replicas11]

This and The Sopranos are my fav of all time.

[@mollyfoxxx]

Not just HBO, but one of the greatest shows to ever exist, hands down.

[@stevenmorris2234]

The best dark comedy drama show ever made on television.

[@titusmccarthy]

I prefer the term fuck-puppet.

[@MaulSlasher]

I'm going through all the HBO that I've missed. Sopranos, The Wire, Six Feet Under, OZ... Amazing TV.

[@devinmc8452]

In my opinion, hands down the best HBO show ever.

[@csxtrain8666]

Devin MC i liked the sopranos better

[@joejohn.]

I think The Sopranos was better, but Six Feet Under had a very strong effect on me. I remember feeling actually depressed and dreadful at points, and I don't think a poorly written/produced show could accomplish that.

[@FrankTic-kx4hm]

@@joejohn. if you guys are arguing if any of those shows are objectively 'better' then you probably missed a lot of themes brought up in Six Feet Under

[@yellabyrd5821]

You are SO right!What a beautiful show

[@Tommy88-]

Drake the wire was great but not on par with six feet or sopranos in my opinion.

[@shaheed609]

I remember flipping through the channels on the television, and this creepy music caught my attention. I watched the first show and became hooked on it.

Such a beautiful line. I sobbed throughout the series finale. Beautiful choice of Sia’s “Breathe Me”. It’s too bad she’s all pop now but she’s been around forever.

[@DMalltheway]

I like this better than The Sopranos, never thought a show like this would inspire me to get a will.

[@LearnAboutFlow]

[@humminbirrrd]

Yes. Because you never knew quite what was coming next in the opening sequence

[@lindahandley5267]

The opening scene always made me so sad when the hands were pulled apart. I had lost my precious husband 4 years earlier and I remember the feeling that those hands represented. I had kissed him goodbye for the last time that morning, never dreaming it would be the last.😢

No show or movie hit me harder on an emotional level. There have been better shows imo like sopranos but nothing has ever stuck with me like six feet under. The only show or movie I actually miss

[@paperchasindude6578]

Same it's so brilliant

[@jefflondon80]

Eu tinha 12 anos quando a série começou a ser exibida pela HBO, eu simplesmente não conseguia acreditar no que via e na verdadeira convulsão de sentimentos que enfrentava naqueles momentos em que assistia cada capítulo. Definitivamente, mudou a minha forma de ver o mundo e de nele tentar sobreviver, pois é disso do que se trata, não é?

[@mk202]

I still get the chills. What a show! ♥️

[@Throatwobbler.Mangrove]

I came here looking for this comment 😂

[@felixsteingasser536]

This was the first and one of two shows i bought. I nearly watched...heard this music every time. There´s no better way to interpret life in a instrumental way than this. It fits to every season, every part. Over 30 years working in this job as a nurse I know: That´s the way life goes and ends. Exactly. Of course it touched me in a different deep kind to all those other loud and spectacular series i enjoyed, too. With it´s calm art of narratation with this powerful facettes of the violence of different emotions of individuums to the same facts it fascinated me as much as possible. I hope, that my english as a German is "understandable".

[@spiritussublime]

Food for thought. Interesting. And your English is very good.

[@hritikgupta4104]

Can you believe I had to purchase season 1 and 2 on VHS on Ebay to watch this around 2003 on my 19in Sony Trinitron? I am not sure if Torrents existed back then.

[@tke8981]

I remember being in high school and watching this when Bravo played reruns. I fell in love with this show from that point on...

[@pianomanhere]

This is one of the best theme songs ever composed for a TV series. E flat minor is an unusual key signature (i.e. six flats by the clef -- relative major key of G flat major) for TV theme songs, and it's absolutely PERFECT for this piece and the show's subject matter.

[@paperchasindude6578]

Thomas Newman's a genius

[@pianomanhere]

True 👍

[@jackreynolds6535]

Interesting. I only learned the melody line on guitar (played on a violin I'd guess on the recording, maybe a small horn). It is in E flat dominant pentatonic aka mixolydian pentatonic. One of my favorite scales - the minor 7 gives it some solemnity while the major third adds an uplifting element but without sounding happy. Beautiful piece of music and it perfectly fits the show.

[@pianomanhere]

@@jackreynolds6535 The use of accidentals will affect the resulting mode unless the composer uses an unorthodox key signature notation. I believe this has six flats in its key signature and thus it would be G-flat major or E-flat minor. I'll leave the modality to you and others here.

[@David-ku3oy]

Listen to this song; In der palastra Sopor Aeternus.

My wife was watching some Chinese drama and they just ripped this off, wholesale. I haven't seen or heard the show for a long time now, as I watched it when it first came out. As the Chinese show wafted up from downstairs, I thought, 'That sounds familiar'. A few seconds later, I thought, 'Six Feet Under' and made my way here. Those thieving bastards. :-)
