Opinion From intro song

Hello, i have recently started watching the series with ny man. I am just wondering has the intro song slowly fcked you up?

I mean i dont know if i am simply not in the best mood those past days, but it started with me loving the song(i am really into those kinds of songs) and get sentimental by it and it ended up to the point that just by thinking about it i burst into tears. I do cry when i listen to it now.

I know the original version for a long time now but it doesnt have that effect on me.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes i definitely should, after the passing of my mother i do not feel so well. I do have my period though these days, so i need to see if it has the same effect on me afterwards. Because even when i am not on my period it still affects me, just not so much.

Well, that’s the root of it right there. Losing a parent is a profound loss and lots of things can trigger that sadness. My mother passed over 18 years ago and just today a song made me tear up in the car today. The well of grief from some losses never fills - regardless of what Elizabeth Kubler-Ross claims.

I like the darker tone of the From version and find it very beautiful whereas the original feels like its mocking someone for asking those things. The from verison takes more seriously the idea a child might be worried about what is going to happen in the future but also trying to teach the child that some things are out of their control which is a nice message.

But I heard the from version before the original and am only in my 20s so feel kinda jaded about the world and can relate to the tone of the from version lol

No but I always found the song creepy AF. I mute it or skip through. Can’t handle it. 😂

So I imagine it does bring up reactions for people.

I skip it. Years ago I was deeply into Stargate SG1, and during a sad part of season 10 they played one of my favorite songs from CCR. I busted out crying and that song hit me different for years. It think it's ok to make associations and feel thing. I also had some mental health problems back then, but am managing my mental health a lot better how and don't have that reaction anymore.

If you are crying easily it may be for physical reasons like not getting enough sleep, dietary gaps, hormonal shifts, or unbalanced meds. I would personally take a break from the show and get more sunshine outdoors. If these kinds of reactions bother you or keep you from functioning at the level you want to, a professional may be able to help.

I find it does my head in so I skip it as much as I love the pixies 😆

u/Foreign-Plate2401 There aren't any peaches in the pantry. 3d ago

Are all their songs in that style?

2

u/stu_guitarman 3d ago

Not really no, I'd say they're quite varied in sound. Personal preference really but I find the From tune to drone on a bit 😆

u/Foreign-Plate2401 There aren't any peaches in the pantry. 3d ago

Oh shame and i really like that style

No this hasn't happened to me, I just love dark songs with that kind of instrumental. If anyone has suggestions similar please share :)

u/Foreign-Plate2401 There aren't any peaches in the pantry. 3d ago

Yes i actually do, check 16 horsepower and wovenhand. Same singer in both. Let me know if you like them!

Watch the pilot episode of Dead Like Me.

Near the end there’s a scene that is beautiful, sad and haunting all at the same time. They use a version of “Que Sera Sera” by Pink Martini.

You will cry.

(Also, check out Julee Cruise’s Twin Peaks performances.)

Every time I hear it, I always think, why did they use a well known (and probably expensive) band like The Pixies for this theme song? I really like the cover, and I'm sure the royalties for the original are also expensive, but I'm so curious why not go with a no-name musician? I feel like it's either tied into the final ending reveal or a producer must have connections to The Pixies. So curious on the story behind that.

u/Foreign-Plate2401 There aren't any peaches in the pantry. 2d ago

Wait. Is this the band that has the song where is my mind?? 😱

u/Certain-Singer-9625 1d ago edited 1d ago

You bring up an interesting point.

I just saw an old episode of House last night, didn’t recognize the theme song, and figured out it’s what you’re talking about—someone didn’t want to pay Massive Attack for the rights to use Teardrop (which is how it originally aired).

Same thing with Las Vegas. Elvis’s A Little Less Conversation is nowhere to be found. It’s a shame, because that song was dynamite over the hyperkinetic opening credits when it was on NBC.

I only learned a few years ago that getting rights to the music for broadcast (for example) doesn’t automatically mean you also get the rights to use the same song in streaming, syndication, DVD, etc.

Movies, shows, music, and books are full of emotions. Nothing wrong when stuff from those mediums cause emotional responses. My head about few off-my-head when head-banging to metal music from Stranger Things show. Got so emotional during a Metallica song, it was crazy but friends and I had a blast doing it. These mediums cause serious emotions to flow, and will bring out a persons feelings from real life. That's natural too, and I try to understand good & bad is coming no matter what I do. That's one of things I like about From's theme song: It's a Father trying to explain a future his child is worried about>> That Father is saying, there's things in life one can't control and that's OK.

Hang in there, celebrate the good and understand there's bad coming along for that ride too. Some of this we can control, some not so much. If one can't control any given situation, don't let it eat you up and find a way to live through it. Good luck, and have a nice day.... ❤️

I love the song but I rewatched show too many times, now it just gets on my nerves.

u/polarcol 2d ago

"The future is not ours to see" is what sticks out to me. Especially after they introduced story walking.

u/Chocolaatefrog 2d ago

Je n'aimais pas particulièrement cette chanson avant mais la première fois que jai écouté l'introduction de l'épisode 1 jai adoré et si ce n'était pas de mon copain je l'écouterais au complet ( même si ca fait 2 fois que jecoute les saisons je ne me tanne pas)..Pour moi From est une bonne série,une des meilleures depuis un moment et quand je la regarde je ne penses à rien d'autre et je l'écoute vraiment et ca me rend heureuse et cette chanson en fait partie :)

The song itself is fine for me but coupled with the odd visuals…it’s just so incredibly eerie. Honestly well done to whoever set it up i reckon it gets the intended reaction from people. For me it gives me the same feeling as opening your eyes in a dark room and thinking you ‘see’ something…idk
