Accepting Being Dead 🎶

Blake Neely & Murat Selçuk from the Dead Boy Detectives season one soundtrack 💜

[melefim]

We have a date! Per the composer’s Instagram, the Dead Boy Detectives score will be coming out on July 12th!

Just like I did with the soundtrack, I’ll be going through and finding as accurate as possible timestamps for when all the songs are used during the show- might be a bit slow going since I’ve got limited time, but I’ll get it up for everyone as quickly as possible!

The post about it will be added to my pinned post here as soon as it’s done! (Or maybe I’ll do one for each episode as I go through them? Or individual episodes and a masterpost?)

what songs on jayden's playlist do you think are about charles' relationship with crystal?

@queen-of-hobgobblers Here's a post I made on the 4 back-to-back relevant to the sad snog scene: "Pushin", "Lift Me Up", "WAIT FOR U", and "Before You Go"

~~~~

Also his sis later added "She's So Lovely" which I feel like is about Charles getting a crush on Crystal at first sight in both comics and the show.

Here's Jayden's whole playlist for reference

I haven't listened to as many of the later songs added by Claudette as I have the one's that Jayden specifically added but some others from that playlist I've added to my Cryland Playlist:

"Inkpot Gods" feels like the first verse is about Charles' arc "I will be the man my father was" and the second verse is about Crystal's eventual probably season 2 arc (based off comics) "And what you hear is not silence, it's just the [soul tree!] trees waiting to hear what next you'll hum. . .I'm more than what my mom told me to be" and about supporting each other "if you ever touch or harm him", "Please let her live just one more day Cause she is so much more than all her scars" ==> Him telling her in ep 6 "You're still pretty damn special"

Charles trying to help Crystal "I know she's giving up. and I don't know what to do, how to help her, how to bring her home" him literally during his lighthouse breakdown "I CAN'T HELP CRYSTAL STOP HURTING"

"If I don't make it back from where I've gone just know I've loved you all along" Crystal planning to leave, or the separation of afterlives someday

~~~~

There are a few songs on the playlist that could be about Edwin AND/OR about Crystal, like the Hozier songs about burying and being together (Edwin & Charles being dead together / Crystal burying David and being ready for Charles)

"Fair" by Amazing Devils could go to Edwin or Crystal as well

(I'm a multi-shipper so I consider both)

~~~~

"Fade Into You" is a great romantic, consensual possession song imo

~~~~

There's probably more, because I haven't listened to all of them yet, but those are the main ones that come to mind for me.

BONUS: Since the official backround music soundtrack of the show just came out, I'd like to point out that "I Messed Up" is during the alley conversation scene between Crystal & Jenny, then Crystal and Charles, then the scene where he shares his parents in the mirror with her and encourages her to open up to them:

"Mirror Maze" includes multiple scenes, but the Title must refer to the conflict in the forest in ep 6 that Crystal & Charles have with David

~~~~

Thank you so much for the ask! I had fun answering as the fandom's resident Crystal-Supporting, Cryland fan lol

And it's finished! Here, Jane's theme 'Believe' for piano! The audio is computer-generated (and hence the bad sound) as I haven't mastered playing this myself yet (i'm still a beginner player so..) But anyway, I wanted to share this, because I like how it came out. Of course, it's a much shorter and modified version of the original piece, since it's only for piano and lacks the orchestral elements (drums, vocals, etc.) that would make repeating the same theme again and again more interesting. The ending sounds off-tune on purpose (a higher octave would probably sound better) to match the feeling of the abrupt ending of the original. Again, music sheets are under the cut.

Masters of The Air Review- A Crowning Achievement In Television This Year, Gripping and Action Packed

 Masters of the Air is the third series from producing partners Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.  The first two Band of Brothers and the Pacific both aired on HBO, while this new one airs on Apple TV Plus. It’s the culmination of these two greats in the film industry’s three-part saga, celebrating the men and women of our armed forces during WWII. The first two were widely celebrated, and the…

Dead Boy Detectives Score is out!

I’ve also added it to my playlist with all the other songs used in the show here:

I’ll be doing a complete listing of where all the songs are found in the show like I did for the regular soundtrack, but in the meantime here’s what I recognize from a quick listen/ click through:

(Episode numbers are in parentheses)

Death Becomes Him: Gas mask ghost street chase, Death in the office (1)

The Dead Boy Detectives Main Title theme: self- explanatory- opening titles for every episode, as well as credits for 1-3.

So Many Questions for So Many Fools: Edwin’s Flashback (1), intercepted by cats & escorted to the cannery (2), (escort to cannery bit also plays when Niko & Crystal are walking to the cannery in episode 8), Edwin gives Crystal a list of questions for Niko —> We have the same left (2)

Little Girl Collector: Esther’s theme— bits of it played throughout: Esther meets Crystal (1), Yelling at Monty (1), Esther browsing Tragic Mick’s (2), Esther in the butcher shop (3), Esther sees Monty with Edwin (3), Esther & Monty in the kitchen (5&6), Esther walking down the street (8)

Odd Customers and Cohorts: first bit is Potential client interviews (3), second half might be at Tragic Mick’s?

VHS and David: Devlin House- last minute of the song is after the loop is broken and Death comes (3)

All So Obvious: 2:20-3:17 is summoning Shelby (5)

Never Been Kissed/ Hell: first bit is Niko & Edwin talking about kissing (4), Middle is probably Charles descending into Hell?? (7), 4:30 on is the ‘Previously on Dead Boy Detectives’ background music (2-8)

I Messed Up: Crystal & Jenny in the alley, Crystal & Charles in the alley, Crystal unlocks her door, Charles shows her his parents (1)

Accepting Being Dead: beginning is almost but not exactly the bit in Hell from when the spider grabs Edwin to when Charles finds him again. (7) 1:00-2:30 is Edwin coming out to Charles (6). Last 30 seconds is Charles crying on the cliff (4), Bad guy talk (5), and right after he realizes he’s dead in his flashback (7).

Mirror Maze: Maxine attacks Jenny (5), pretty sure at least part is the David/Crystal/Charles confrontation in the forest (6)

Run From Hell / I’m in Love with You: first 45 seconds is Charles & Edwin running from the baby doll spider, :45- 3:30 is the second scene with Simon (do you think it has to be torture being the way we are?), 3:30- end is Edwin’s confession (7). Confession time can also be heard during conversation at end of (6) and the hug at end of (8).

Her Own Fault: first bit is Fight at Esther’s house, starts when Esther throws Niko against the wall, goes through Niko’s death

Esther’s Origin/ A New Deal: Cat King’s Esther story (8), 2:50ish onwards is the Principal looking at the case board through the end of the scene to the zoom out the window (8)

I will be going through and trying to find timestamps for where every song plays in the show, but it’ll take a bit. Until then, hope people find this useful! (And if you know any parts of songs that I missed, please feel free to drop a comment!)

so, while there's still no news on who's doing the music for this show, i did come across this video (via twitter) where, around 29 minutes in, blake neely (a composer who worked on the pacific alongside hans zimmer and geoff zanelli) says that he's working on "a world war 2 series for apple" (which isn’t mentioned on the show’s imdb yet, btw). he doesn't talk any more about it after that (despite prodding from the interviewer), so make of that what you will!

Desperately wishing Blake Neely would release the score he composed for The Keepers
