#lockwood & co soundtracks

[mageofspace924]

i binged lockwood and co and then i read the entire series immediately after i am OBSESSED i love this trio, i love the crew, locklyle is my everything

[strawberrycowgirly]

i think that something that bothers me the most about the lockwood and co show cancellation is the missed opportunity to get the soundtrack for season two! like the soundtrack for season 1 is so so so good! and i read online somewhere that their inspiration for it was related to how they wanted to portray the show as if the technology boom never happened (and thus having a bit of an 80s/90s music vibe as a result). i really want to know what songs would have or could have made it onto the soundtrack, you know?? like i love 80s/90s music as much as the next person, but the lnco show has like 80s/90s british pop music vibes?? but i don’t really know much about that genre (i’m not familiar with any artists besides the songs from the artists featured in the show lol), so if anyone at all, can help me find songs that would potentially fit within that genre (or the same vibe as the lockwood and co soundtrack), it would be so very much appreciated!!!

actually i found where i read the bit about the soundtrack lol!

my headcanon for if i were doing the music for season 2 of lockwood and co. (or listening to music alongside the book) is that "Just Like Heaven" by the Cure plays during the parade scene in the Hollow Boy. Like, it starts in the background maybe and then it REALLY starts as Lockwood and Lucy and Lucy jump off the float. Bombs flying, stuff on fire, Lockwood's coat flying out behind him, carnival lights twinkling- and them, together in the middle of it all.

The song has the same sort of vibe that the song from the Fittes ball has-- the sort of cheery synth vibe-- which makes perfect sense because they're both scenes where it's the two of them together. Plus it's another song by the Cure, which just fits the vibe of the show because they've used songs by them already.

And what's more fitting (/romantic) then a song that says "I'll run away with you" as they're running together?

Spinning on that dizzy edge I kissed her face and kissed her head And dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow "Why are you so far away", she said Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you That I'm in love with you?

It shows that contrast between this divide that's grown between them and the rare moments when it is just them and they work well together. To Lucy, those moments are just like heaven, even though they're bittersweet because they never last.

And like the end of the book, the song ends with the singer alone like Lockwood is after Aickmeres and what follows.

i'm kind of obsessed with the lockwood and co worldbuilding, actually. like, it's such a fascinating one-step-to-the-left universe alteration. what if, right as 70s britain is careening towards an economic crisis, keynesianism is creaking, and the whole country's about to come down with the 'british disease'. what if, out of the shuttered up city high streets in london and liverpool, or the burgeoning ghost towns of the rapidly de-industrialising north, literal ghosts began to emerge? what if?

[angsty-worm]

can we just talk about how perfect the Lockwood & Co soundtrack is?

great thanks.

like bruh. every single song goes so well with the vibe. and don’t get me started on how happy I was when song to the siren came on.

and when cruel world is on and lucy pushes lockwood and the music matches it perfectly gahhhh

and homesick, where the quiet part is happening while lucy is calling lockwood out on his bullshit and it’s kinda sad for some reason. and then it gets faster and louder as she walks away.

and there are way more but these are the three songs that really stood out to me. also please go listen to the full songs. specifically homesick it’s so good.

Lockwood, you can't say "she's just an associate" when you share a song with her that's the most gentle guitar chords ever known to man

Lockwood & Co understands the importance of fight scenes set to The Cure

Lockwood & Co Soundtrack appreciation

Today I'd love to send virtual kudos to composers of the original soundtrack to Lockwood & Co - The Flight and Christoph Bauschinger. They created edgy and memorable score to the series and it's currently on my morning get Up kick ass playlist. The track that I love the most is probably Graveyard Fight. It's such a banger I can't help but listen to on repeat every morning on my way to work.

Then there's emotional wreckage in both Lucy and Lockwood & An Ending. I was listening to An Ending for an hour the night the show cancellation was announced and it gave me a good cry, not gonna lie.

And then there's the track called Surrounded by Philistines which reminded me of the glory days of the original CSI:Crime Scene Investigation. If I didn't know it was composed for Lockwood & Co, I'd easily considered it being composed by John M. Keane (head composers for CSI, FYI).

And I believe we will hear more such bangers combined with the 80‘s music in future seasons because it just fucking works.

I can’t believe there are only 717 people liked this playlist!

Okay, this is the second song in this series of music thoughts/headcanons for season 2 of Lockwood and Co. I'm probably going to include the full playlist at some point, but I'm starting with posts like these with longer explanations for the songs that I absolutely need on there and why.

This one's more modern than the other songs on the show and also most of the other songs on my playlist, but I will fight tooth and nail for it to be included because it would be PERFECT. Hear me out.

The song starts after Lucy leaves and Lockwood is sitting by himself. Probably at the kitchen table the day after. George asks him something, but Lockwood brushes him off and George's voice is muted as the guitar comes in. As the vocals come in, we get clips/ flashes of Lockwood and Lucy's cafe scene argument where Lockwood tries to convince Lucy to stay (it's mentioned in book 4). First, they're calm, then it gets more heated, then they're arguing (but the song kind of muffles it) and then a shot as Lockwood follows Lucy out into the street and she walks off without him.

Then it shows Lucy on her own getting settled into her apartment. She closes the door and sets down her rapier. Flashback to her packing/ leaving Portland Row in the early hours of the morning, before anyone can stop her. Then it's back to her in her apartment. The blinds are drawn. She's alone.

Lockwood's by himself in the library or in the kitchen. He's trying to read and obviously can't focus. Flashback to him explaining what happened to George. He and George argue too. (George sort of blames Lockwood initially and Lucy isn't there to yell at.) We don't get full sound for this argument; the song kind of drowns it out. Not that it's a loud song-- it just feels loud and all-encompassing because that's how Lockwood's emotions are to him. He can't even argue with George because he thinks-- no, he knows-- that George is right. He did drive Lucy away, or at least he couldn't make her stay. He can't be angry; he can't defend what he did/ said... He just misses her and wishes she would come back.

We see him and Lucy at a case together (she turns around and smiles a rare smile, covered in ectoplasm, hair askew, still totally stunning to Lockwood) and then it's him alone. We get a flash of Lucy at the kitchen table putting jam on toast or telling the skull to piss off, and then her seat empty. We get a shot of the gang coming through the door after a rough case, tossing their swords in the umbrella stand, and then the hallway dark and empty, Lucy's rapier missing from the stand.

He sees all of these flashbacks/memories/ things he wishes still were, but it's not real.

The team is broken.

And it's maybe his fault. (It doesn't matter who's fault it is).

And he doesn't know if things can ever be fixed.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk. For reference, the actual lyrics to the song are beneath the cut. There are some parallels to the scene I've described above/ the book, but mostly the song fits because of the vibe. Bonus points if it's raining in the flashback or in real time but that might be a tiny bit melodramatic. (Because nothing about that scene was melodramatic. ;)

Ceilings, plaster Can't you just make it move faster? Lovely to be sitting here with you You're kinda cute, but it's Raining harder My shoes are now full of water Lovely to be rained on with you It's kinda cute, but it's

So short Then you're driving me home And I don't wanna leave But I have to go You kiss me in your car And it feels like the start of a movie I've seen before Before

Bedsheets, no clothes Touch me like nobody else does Lovely to just lay here with you You're kinda cute, and I would say all of this But I don't wanna ruin the moment

Lovely to sit between comfort and chaos

But it's over Then you're driving me home And it kinda comes out As I get up to go You kiss me in your car And it feels like the start of a movie I've seen before

But it's not real And you don't exist And I can't recall the last time I was kissed It hits me in the car And it feels like the end of a movie I've seen before Before

sorry but bela lugosi’s dead by bauhaus being sampled throughout the entirety of the series lockwood and co meant so much to be

[bungletheglasscat]

I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine (Lucy & Norrie’s theme and George & Flo’s theme are variations of the same piece of music) I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine I’m

[carlyleandco]

Okay is there some sort of Lockwood & Co related trend we could devise for Tiktok/ Insta to boost streaming?

Like idk some sort of sound file/ music from the show, or concept we could create and use to our advantage ?
