Whoever compiles the score for true detective should be given every award under the sun, to find such a gem like lera Lynn who isn't extremely well known and to recognise a unique quality that her music and the mood of the show share, is quite genius. And ' I pity the fool' at the end of season 2 ep 2 is yet another brilliant choice not to mention Leonard Cohen.
***** T-Bone Burnett is a badass legend! He's worked with everyone from Michael Cimino in his debut film Heaven's Gate to the Coen brothers and all the way to his Oscar win for Crazy Heart.
BadBurrito It's actually a team: Lera AND T-Bone. Nic P and T-Bone are like BFF's in CA.. Nic P gives T-Bone themes for the songs and then he takes them to Lera to write with. This song was an idea Nic P had about "...a dead lover who comes back as a crow". I'm not trying to be "That 1-up Guy", I just thought knowing this will shed some light on the music going forward. T-Bone's been quoted as saying "...that bar is the heart of the show... the "psychosphere". It'll become clear later on". Hmmm.
Maybe it's just self pity. Maybe we want to get some rest from joy or neutral boredom. Or, give some aesthetic to that feeling. (I also do it with Led Zep's Baby I'm Gonna Leave You and Since I've Been Loving You.)
I think there is more beauty and pleasure in sadness. when you're sad your mind is open to all kinds of feelings and emotions, when you're happy you can only focus on sheer joy and nothing else.
+chalo rurua Very true, it's like when you're sad, your heart is empty, so you feel more different emotions and more relaxing, and when you're happy your heart is full, so all you feel is just love and joy! Both are great!
Also, rewatching the series. It’s like The Wire, it’ll stand up for a long time. Simply awesome cinematography in season two with all the overhead, outside shots.
@@Xrayflames season 2's ending was slightly disappointing but season 3's was far worse. Hopefully TD will eventually be back for a new and improved season 4. On a side note, Nic Pizzolatto has a new show in the works for FX called 'Redeemer'. It stars Matthew Mcconoughey and it's based on the novel 'The Churchgoer' so if season 1 of TD was anything to go by this should be great as well!
As a musician and a guitar player, I find this tune absolutely wonderful. The use of tremolo on the intro guitar is spectacular for an effect that's been some what undervalued. Also, the way those sad lyrics float up and down on that beautifully constructed melody is very cool. And what an unusual arraignment. I love this tune.
Wow. Lara Lynn gotta be the best songwritter I've seen in a lot of time... The lyrics are just from outter space. Weird, cryptic, but full of meaning at the same time.
Love her style, never really heard anything like this before, except maybe Chelsea Wolfe, but this seems more bluesy. Thanks True Detective for introducing me to a great artist. I love the fact that the first season introduced Townes Van Zandt to a wider audience with the song "Lungs," though "Nothin'" is his darkest masterpiece.
Omg Chelsea Wolfe is amazing! Never heard her before, exactly the type of music i'm looking for! Do you have more dark, "there is no hope in the world" kinda music? Love the lera lynn style
Julius Thomasson Thanks for asking, do I ever. I'm more into bluegrass/folk, rather than blues or indie, but here are some suggestions: -"Nothin'" by Townes Van Zandt. This song, is the truth about our existence, and most people either can't understand it or can't handle it. -"Chained to the Couch" by The Devil Makes Three. This band is finally getting some recognition, and they have a ton of great songs some more conventional others more personal. This is one of the latter, along with "Graveyard" which I love even more. -"Seven Devils" by The Goddamn Gallows. Fairly self-explanatory lol. Finally, although this doesn't fit the genre at all, if you are looking for "there is no hope in the world" kinda music, you MUST listen to "THE ETERNAL" by JOY DIVISION. Nothin' still has some hope, but THE ETERNAL is the most hopeless, it doesn't even want hope, it doesn't even want to be recorded! lol. Seriously though, Curtis actually committed suicide a couple months later. May your moments be meaningful, my friend.
Julius Thomasson Sorry for replying a second time but I'd also recommend The Be Good Tanyas' cover of "Waiting Around To Die," it is extremely haunting. TVZ is covered by many modern folk artists, to the point where his influence is almost a problem, because it's universally acknowledged (even, by some reports, by the elderly Dylan himself) that he is the greatest songwriter. Plus TVZ's "St. John the Gambler." That's 3 minutes you won't regret.
The Wilfred That was my thought exactly when I first heard it. It went so beautifully with the scene it was featured in, though, so I couldn't be too upset. It is by far one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard.
After watching the finale I've listened to this song maybe 10 times with a heavy heart. Great series. I didn't want it to end. I can't wait to see what's next.
Back again to listen this gem ...yea you're right I'm sad again..This song just hits different. People say that they didn't like season 2, but I loved it and this song is a huge reason for that.
This is my least favorite life The one where you fly and I don’t The kiss holds a million deceits And a lifetime goes up in smoke This is my least favorite you Who floats far above earth and stone The nights that I twist on the rack Is the time that I feel most at home We wandering in the shade And the rustle of fallen leaves A bird on the edge of a blade Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory The station rolls away from the train The blue pulls away from the sky The whisper of two broken wings May be they’re yours, maybe they’re mine This is my least favorite life The one where I am out of my mind The one where you are just out of reach The one where I stand and you fly I am wandering in the shade And the rustle of fallen leaves A bird on the edge of the blade Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory
When I first heard this song, I asked myself, "why didn't I write this?" It feels like it was pulled right from my guts. T-Bone Burnett has the best taste in music. I love you, dude. Thank you.
I absolutely love Season 2... Damn man nearly 10 years, 4 main characters, it was amazing and music was spectacular, camera shots were so fun. And Ray Velcoroooooooo
Season Two of True Detective was far superior to both True Detective season three and Night Country. Please check out seasons 1&2 of Tokyo Vice if you haven't seen it already. It's incredible-another underrated gem from HBO/Max
I can't believe there are thumbs down. Every song she does is phenomenal!! A memory attached to each too. A time in my life. True Detective, thank you for recognizing such a perfect musician.
It's like my life is a book, every chapter tells an individual story, with different characters. I'm the same person in every chapter, but different somehow and this one in some ways is my least favourite so far, yet I don't want it to end, but I know it's going to... eventurally and the next one is going to be something else completely.
"They say that the glass is either half full or half empty, Ray. What they don't tell you is that the glass is full of piss and no one will drink it or touch it. It's just gonna sit there, Ray. A fucking waste of a perfectly good glass. Caspere knew that much." - Frank
lomilias Same. I am hoping it gets a later release, especially since so many people seem to be looking for it. That second in the song where Woodrugh shuts off the lights on his bike, I knew I loved the song. This version is great too, but it doesn't have the same power as the one in the actual episode.
Noel Aranda It's to due with tone, according to something I saw Nic said. If they used this or 'Only thing worth fighting for', the tone would've been way, way too depressing. They have scenes in mind though that use these songs, like the bit with Lera, Colin, and Vince in the bar in Ep 1.
ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE A SONG STIRRED THIS MANY EMOTIONS IN ME ..COMBINED WITH THE SCENERY FROM THE SHOW ITS HARD TO GET OUTTA MY HEAD..LERA LYNN THAT VOICE SHES GORGEOUS TOO EVEN LOOKING ALL TAINTED FOR THE SHOW
I was very happy with it and the soundtrack. It is foolish judge a show on one episode because a good story builds on itself. As a writer I very much appreciated the things I saw.

I still find myself coming back to listen to this masterpiece every once in a while. This is a true gem
The entirety of her work for the series is just breathtaking
@@ladysarcasm6226 yes that lately song too
"The nights that I twist on the rack, is the time i feel most at home." You write lyrics more melancholy than that??? You won't.
thumbs up for those who, from time to time, visit this song to feel the despair.. I salute you random stranger, everything's gonna be alright.
Gürkan Mercan thanks
Jaho!!!
I don't think we're strangers anymore

"Man is sometimes , extraordinarily , passionately , in love with suffering."
That explains why I keep listening to this song !
Exalted suffering over cheap happiness , Always .

And ' I pity the fool' at the end of season 2 ep 2 is yet another brilliant choice not to mention Leonard Cohen.
T Bone Burnett is the music supervisor (different than the person who does the score) and tapped Lera Lynn to write these songs for TD. She's great.
yeah i know T Bone Burnett has a role with the music but i didn't want to be specific in case i was wrong (in naming him that is). but thank you :)
Tbone...he does all Cohen bros stuff too.
Amazing song choices as always.. Thank you True Detective
***** T-Bone Burnett is a badass legend! He's worked with everyone from Michael Cimino in his debut film Heaven's Gate to the Coen brothers and all the way to his Oscar win for Crazy Heart.
***** Actually you can thank Lera Lynn, apparently she made this album herself especially for true detective !

Haunting lyrics, simple melody, beautiful voice.
I come here when I'm sad to get sadder
Roll in it like a pig in mud, brother.
its weird no? how sometimes we like to enhance that feeling of sadness, maybe to appreciate happiness? :)
Maybe it's just self pity. Maybe we want to get some rest from joy or neutral boredom. Or, give some aesthetic to that feeling. (I also do it with Led Zep's Baby I'm Gonna Leave You and Since I've Been Loving You.)

Season 2 was already worth it just for this song
Honestly the best part of season two.

Tremolo must mean something else for electric guitar than classical.
This is my new favorite song,
the one that oozed out of the screen.
a song of sweet sorrow,
a song so hypnotic
her voice may be haunting your dreams
Ed Hunt YES!
Ed Hunt amen brother. great song and even better voice

This is my least favorite life
The one where you fly and I don’t
The kiss holds a million deceits
And a lifetime goes up in smoke
This is my least favorite you
Who floats far above earth and stone
The nights that I twist on the rack
Is the time that I feel most at home
We wandering in the shade
And the rustle of fallen leaves
A bird on the edge of a blade
Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory
The station rolls away from the train
The blue pulls away from the sky
The whisper of two broken wings
May be they’re yours, maybe they’re mine
This is my least favorite life
The one where I am out of my mind
The one where you are just out of reach
The one where I stand and you fly
I am wandering in the shade
And the rustle of fallen leaves
A bird on the edge of the blade
Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory
This should be the top comment
Ioana Pristoleanu It is now!
Ioana Pristoleanu Bine zis :D

It's close. Missed a few things, like:
"The rustle of [Fallen] leaves"
And
"The one where I [Stand] and you fly"
love her voice, and her song writing is wicked . spooky and surreal , her tone and tempo, awesome
Sung by Lera Lynn and... Co written by Rosanne Cash.
Man... Oh man...
The Cash family is the musical gift that NEVER keeps giving.
Genius.
"The highway, it suits me."
NandimFilho "Never do something out of hunger, not even eating."

NandimFilho Amazing that there are so many memorable quotes from just one episode. I cant wait for more TD...
"I used to wanna be a astronaut... But astronauts don't even go to the moon anymore"
This is such a powerful song
A Star Is Born !
Lera Lynn was the icing on the cake she sets the tone for the second season.
The saddest dive bar in the world. I would love to own hthef thing asI felt right in.
One of the most moving songs i have heard..good job by the singer.
Such an eerie song but powerfully perfect for the scene!
When I first heard this song, I asked myself, "why didn't I write this?" It feels like it was pulled right from my guts. T-Bone Burnett has the best taste in music. I love you, dude. Thank you.
Whenever I feel upset depresses listen this.Not only amazing Song but also lera’s sincere voice add something undescrible feeling to this
You know there's an amazing composer behind these kind o lyrics; poetic, intelectual and able to connect with your deep emotions; great song
Tüm ruh hâlimi altüst ettiği için uzun zamandır dinlemiyordum, bir ilkbahar gecesi düştüm yine buralara... Sen nasıl bir parçasın böyle?

I love this song. Really hope the TV show leads to the attention the artist deserves.
Came here after season 4 finale, people didnt liked season 2 too so much, but this was true detective! Beautiful lyrics!

Made me cry

Always rewatch true detective season 2 whenever I’m in a dark place. Favorite season ever.
How can somebody dislike this!!
It reflects perfectly the emotions of all the characters
Masterpiece
The show is fantastic. But this song is stuck in my head & heart.
This is an appropriate song for 2020

Preferred this season of True Detective especially because Lera Lynn who I'd never heard before but am now addicted to her music! Beautiful :)
Most underrated show on TV ever!
pretty highly rated but season 2 gets no credit .
So dark and eerily beautiful! Perfect for that scene, perfect for this show!

I'm so glad we share such good taste in music 😊
fit the scene perfectly also a song you should listen every monday morning :)
I looked this up the second the episode ended. It's haunting...gripping. What a wonderful voice!

Ahahahahha
not too old..
Haha touché
Same here....
man , you mad me laugh so loud you don't have idea thinks for this moment that i will never forget
I love how this song went with the episode.
Lets hope Velcoro gets pissed every episode, in that same bar, where Lera Lynn should play each night.
OMG! Thank you! It blows my mind when I heard it on the show, absolutely perfect.
We get the world we deserve.
the lyrics are astoundingly good
So haunting. I love it. Great music this season!
Juste un énorme merci à la série TV (Tip top) de m'avoir fait connaître cette artiste... et redécouvert Léonard Cohen. Je meurs... de plaisir
I'm way too addicted to this tune
Finally! Thank you for releasing this so soon in to the release! We were all hoping for this!
you're living your least favorite life and when you're between trying and giving up, this feels like there's no hope to try to go on
Lera Lynn is the best thing is this season.
When u realize Ray was Franks one and only best friend

This song give chills and goosebumps... amazing song
This is incredible, though I'm missing the drums and the bass line, from the version that was used in the episode.
lomilias Yep, shame!
I am searching the same too!
Would it be any release with the song like it was on the show?
One can only hope..
lomilias Same. I am hoping it gets a later release, especially since so many people seem to be looking for it. That second in the song where Woodrugh shuts off the lights on his bike, I knew I loved the song. This version is great too, but it doesn't have the same power as the one in the actual episode.
Lera Lynn puts the music for this season. SUPREME.
This song explains my life perfectly
It kinda represents me and my favourite person. I love this song anyway.
It tears me up hearing you sing like this.
I don't care what anyone says, Season 2 was a modern day noir, and it's my favorite show of all time.
It was so good.
Looking forward to season 3.
This song is so dark, depressing, and creepy. I like it.
This song or "The Only Thing Worth Fighting For" would've been much better options for the intro song.
Yesss. I think this song would have been the best choice for the intro
Rani Soudelier exactly my thoyghts !
Noel Aranda yea, the intro song is horrible. It has nothing to do with nothing.
I completely agree, I'll get used to the theme now, but that song would've rivaled even last season's theme for me!
