#LOST SOUNDTRACK ANALYSIS (Michael Giacchino's score)
"Take me to your leader."
Sawyer and Charles Widmore have an intense back-and-forth, and so do their established leitmotifs in a scene from "Recon". 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 a weekly video, covering all episodes of the show and their musical connections to each other.

Haha, I love that you confront Giacchino about how Faraday's theme is so wrong in the context. I like that the LaFleur motif came back in seasn 6 despite him not being LaFleur anymore. It was after all the most responsible and directorial role for Sawyer in his life and fitting that it's used when Sawyer negotiates with Widmore, almost commanding him. Despite that deep down one of them is a multimillionaire and CEO of a big company, while the other is a rebellious con man and former prison inmate.
"War & conflict" certainly has been on a massive journey. It's one of the (many) themes I know as "oh, yeah, that's the tune" and it pops up every now and then.

Hi, guys! This is a bit of a placeholder video
while I finish my work on the upcoming episodes. There are a lot of great surprises ahead! This video will not include a ton of those, but it will place established themes and connections within the context of one single sequence. It is the least I can do in response to the wonderful support from MICHAEL WHALEN and TOMMY on my "Buy Me A Coffee" page. If you enjoy this video, please consider becoming a supporter as well by buying me a DHARMA beer via www.buymeacoffee.com/jim108. 🏝️

I love how Giacchino has all these variations of the Lost Main Theme. Such a creative way to expand a popular theme to adapt to other scenes whether it be sinister, emotional or dramatic, in a similar way to the “War & Conflict Motif” “Locke’s First Motif” or “Sun’s Revenge Theme” which also has elements of “Widmore Motif” if that makes sense. 😁👍

For sure! And of course, the main theme is also often played together with Sun's 'revenge' motif (possibly because Sun references the crash in some of those scenes), which is pretty cool.
