Hear a song on Southland that you can't identify? Love one that you want to share the artist of? Post all music related questions and comments here.

what is the music we hear during the preview commercials of the show??

I would also love to know what the artist and song is on the preview of the show!!!

The one that I hear most in the commercials is Alexi Murdoch's "Orange Sky".

Brings back memories of the OC..........

With some of the other NBC shows, they post the music titles and artists. I'm hoping they will with this program as well.

Song title and artist for the piece playing in the background at the end of the pilot as the officers and detectives go home for the night?

The name of the song is:

"Fake Empire" by The National

Does anyone know what the music is at the opening scene of the pilot? I'm really interested, since it sounded so familiar.

Thanks for taking the time to post that info

The music from the beginning of the show. Something from the 70's or early 80's...heavy and whiney harmonica....long song and lots of piano. Anybody know? It's on the tip of my tongue! Frustrating

...and it's not Fake Empire or Orange Sky.....

As a devoted fan of The National it was surreal to hear Fake Empire close the pilot episode of the replacement to dearly departed ER. Too bad the NBC web site is so dang-un-user-friendly or I would've submitted a full post but after jumping all the nonsensical hurdles I've lost the patience to write my critique of the show. Oh well. Good song.

The song is "School" by the 70's band Supertramp.

Of course! Gee, thanks! Now I can sleep! hahahha

I loved the song at the end of the episode. I thought it might be Nick Cave but no, huh?

Thought the music at the opening of the show set the right tone. Great job!

Cheers

What is the instrumental song that was playing during the opening credits of the Pilot? I recognize it from an older movie...

It's by Supertramp but I can't remember the name of the song...

Thank you! I was a huge Supertramp fan, but that was long ago and it was driving me nuts...

"Cançao do Mar" by a portuguese singer called - Dulce Pontes this song with opening Southland - music instrumental

The very first few seconds of the pilot (when the title shows up) it's a French song called "Elle, tu l'aimes - Helene Segara". The version played on the show is instrumental.

The older movie that the song from the opening credits is from is "Primal Fear" with Edward Norton and Richard Gere.

Sounded like a pink floyd tune from the wall to me.

"School" by Supertramp...

Hi! I'm Natalie, in northern California. I've just watched the first episode of Southland and I think it's fantastic...can't wait for the next one. Does anyone know how to find out about the music on the show? The last song, as the show was ending, really captivated me. Maybe someone out there knows who the singer was, or the title of the song?

ah-hah! thank you! yes, I looked up the info from another post here, and it seems like it's "cancao do mar", performed by an artist named Timothy. and yes, i do recognize it from Primal Fear... now I can sleep.

What's the name of the rap song being played in the background of the gangsters in the background scene. Towards the end of the movie. Thanks..

After listening to the music for a second time, we've come to the conclusion that it might be better to play the music a little longer while running the credits. Great music deserves to be heard!

Cheers

No...you are wrong....

Check the music here....

from second 45 .

Thanks for sharing. What a beautiful song, and a great selection for "Southland." Kind of eerie with the crime photos but appropriate for a cop drama.

For a second I thought it was David Byrne's "My Fair Lady."

What is the name of the song that played at the end of the episode that aired 4/16. Regina King was talking to some guy. Themusic was from "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". What is the name of the artist/song?

The song at the end of the second episode "Mozambique" was "Tears Dry On Their Own" by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" album.

Thanks!

Do you know the title/artist of the music at the end of the pilot. It is haunting and I can't get it out of my head. Something about stay out late, picking apples, making a pie, lemonade....


THANKS!! I need to buy it so I can listen to it to get it out of my head!

"Fake Empire" by The National (album is Boxer).

Great song the only bad part was they didn't play the best part of the song.

I thought that was Amy Winehouse!!

Does anybody know the name of the Xzibit song that was playing before he killed the gangbanger?

does anyone know what song they used in the preview for the show on Thursday night? it was in one of the commercials during The Office. it was pretty quick, but it had some violins in it & then a beat came in. sounded like a cool song. I haven't had a chance to watch the show yet from this week, so i'm not sure if they used it then too or not...

What is the opening score's name? Would like to hear the whole song, its soo good.

Answer to my own question, finally found it... since no one answered ill shall! "Cancao do Mar" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSIGWEcR5Dc

is the english version, which, in my opinion is a little bit better, but maybe it's a personal bias due to being form the United States. I really like arabian music, though. It's Harem by Sarah Brightman.

Does anyone know what the music in the fist few seconds of the Trailer is: It's a bizarre sitar or something. It's the trailer that listed on Youtube under Southland Tralier season 1.01 - Canadian Version

Driving me NUTZ!!

anyone know what song detective salinger was attempting to sing when he crashed his car? I'm pretty sure it was a bob seger song but i can't figure out the name. thanks.

Hi ethan! And every1 else on the discussion boards! Just started watching the show and love it along side the music.


The song your referring to is called


"The Fire Down Below"


Hope that helped

thanks sentinel.

Actually, the song was first sang by Amália Rodrigues a Portuguese worldwide known singer back in 1955 in a movie called Solidão(Loneliness). In 1993 Dulce Pontes, another Portuguese singer, recorded it. That version entered Richard Gere movie, Primal Fear.

This is one of the most known songs on the universe of Fado - a Portuguese type of music.
In fact this song as Arabic influences. But both Portuguese versions are without doubt better..please try to listen to them and you'll ...feel.

By the way, the song speaks about the sea, the one that takes the lives of the fishermans, the loved ones.

Any one know the name of the song at the very end of the Season Finale?

Hi, I caught the last end of Southland tonight Thursday May 21st. The music was great! Was that Willie Nelson I heard? Someone post it. Thanks!

Thanks!
