And I remember Dan lost his mom much, much younger than he ever should have. And I realized in that moment that I was like, he is trying to pay... respect to his mother in some way in the show. And I'd never felt that before.
And for some reason, and I was like, and all of a sudden I was like, am I writing this score for these characters or am I writing the score to also like, to like help my friend heal in some way? It started going in that place for me. And it was like the most meta experience I've ever had working on anything. And that sort of became the sort of vibe of the show for me.
on all the themes as we move forward i was like you know this is dan this is dan sort of paying like jack and in that moment i was like jack is his mom to him yeah but what you find out later on is you know the real hero is the mom at the end of all of it which is brilliant brilliance of dan all along but yeah so for me
this moment made me realize that I could score to why Dan even put these characters here in the first place. And so it allowed it to be deep in that way. And it was such a, and I can't tell you, like, I've never worked on anything in my life like this where, I just, I woke up in the morning and I would like live and breathe the show. And I'm like, I miss it so much.
But it was like this sort of ability to connect to you guys, to Dan in this way, just magical. Never, it's so meta to be able to like feel that connection.
Yeah, I mean, it was in the pilot. I remember Dan asked me, we talked about this before a little bit. Dan has these requests sometimes. And at the time, you're like, is this a futile thing? Am I wasting my time? Why am I doing this right now? And he's got a purpose behind some of this stuff. It's like when you would go into the writer's room. I'd go in the writer's room.
You guys obviously must have been in the writer's room multiple times. I remember going in, I went in once and they interviewed me and they wanted to talk to me about my story and we just talked. There were index cards everywhere or post-its everywhere of just the map of the whole series. The timeline, yeah. You're like, oh my gosh, is this a mystery? What is this?
There's clues everywhere and that's what the show in many ways was.
It's a mystery, which is the haunting part about the whole show. I remember in the pilot, Dan asking me to replace the Sufjan Stevens song. And he was like, we have this Sufjan Stevens song. Remember I told you, he was like, we're gonna use Sufjan Stevens, that song, Death With Dignity. And he's like, can you replace it? Can you write something there?
And I wrote like an eight minute piece of music, which is so long, like a long, because the song was like doubled up. It was a long sequence. And then Glen and John were like, oh, we're gonna stick to the song. And I was just like, oh, my gosh. Oh, man. And I was like, I just spent like two days, three days, whatever I wrote on it.
And then that ended up becoming the very final piece of music in series.
Over the very final sequence and the final episode.
And it was used just twice in series. It was used in Kevin's painting and then used again at the very end. That was it, the theme. But I had done the leg work back in the pilot days.
And then I remember watching the finale with Julie, our editor. We were working on it. And we both said at that moment, what if we brought the Kevin painting theme about how we're all connected back in for the ending of that. So that was the hardest piece I ever had to write because it was so long. And then it wasn't used. And I was like, oh, man. What am I going to do with this?
It was a waste of time. Yeah, and then Dan had it all mapped out.
Same thing with the main theme in the ending credits. Yeah.
It may not have been there in the pilot. It might have been starting episode two. I can't remember how we end. Oh, the pilot had the, oh my God, that Labi Safri song. Yes, yes, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
The Forever Now.
But the thing is, I like to think there was a plan all along that one day it would become this. And I don't know what Dan had envisioned, if he knew. I think Dan had a lot of the series mapped out early on.
