#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!
In this video, we take a stab at exploring the theme from "Getting Ethan" and its 'Other' appearances on LOST. As we travel back from the show's fifth season to its first, Michael Giacchino's soundtrack raises the question: is Ethan a bad guy or a goo goo ga ga? 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 (hopefully) a weekly video, covering specific scenes from the show and their musical connections to each other.

Whoa he does it again! Never thought about that Amy scene that way before. Giacchino is really throwing shade at her there haha.

And now you won't be able to think about anything else again! 😜 I do think the scene itself is written with that dramatic irony in mind, but it's astounding that there's enough context within the score for it to add to the writing in that way!
