LOST - The Man in Black's Theme

A compilation of The Man in Black's themes from the television soundtracks of Lost composed by Michael Giacchino.

Tracks used - The Rocket's Red Glare, Smokey And The Bandits, Jacob's Ladders, Dead Man Talking, Jacob's Advocate, And Death Shall Have No Dominion, Catch A Falling Star.

Following the show-stopping Season 5 finale, we were faced with a complex conundrum. If John Locke was dead, then who was this man parading around in his form? Immediately this great mystery was addressed to a shocking revelation and thus the Monster's identity was finally revealed. In order to complement such a dark, menacing figure, Giacchino took a sinister, brooding twist on Locke's emotional 'Locked Out Again' theme and then, to add historical background to the character, he brought in a second leitmotif in 'Ab Aeterno' which fully reinforced our understanding of his desire to leave the island and the ruthless approach he would take in order to achieve that goal.

@DrYabon And Death Shall Have No Dominion.

Amzing. I love it barely Incorporates lockes theme.

@minigibby2212 The first theme is a darker variation on Locke's theme in fact as it uses the same form of eight notes gradually rising just not in an emotional key. Listen to 'Locked Out Again' to the piano part that plays with the rising eight notes and you'll see its the basis for this theme. Its very subtle and a testament to Giacchino's skill.

Of all the the tragic characters in Lost, from John Locke over Richard Alpert to Sawyer, the Man in Black is probally the most tragic one. He wasn't originally a bad man, he never had any bad intentions but to leave the island. He was a free spirit, and a pioneer. But ever since he was born, he was kept a prisoner on the island, feeling he didn't belong there. He died without ever having left the island only once in his life.

This song makes me want to find loopholes.

@trannel9891 i agree with you.

the person who caused everything was that woman who was in the island before, and killed the twins' real mother

I agree that MIB is the character in the most tragic destiny ... By his presence, the philosophy of Lost has taught us that the notion of good and evil are inseparable and very complex.

[lolamiley]

@131313thundaaa131313 Yeah but MIB was dead. The smoke is like his "soul" theoretically speaking. It was the form he took when he died. MIB's body was dead, but not MIB. That's the only way it makes any sense. I mean the smoke isn't just some random thing that comes out of a hole when MIB gets pushed in. It IS MIB. That's what the writers intended.

[131313thundaaa131313]

@lolamiley again, if you pay attention youll find the

MIB's body while the smoke thing is floating around, meaning , again, the MIB isjacobs bro , the smoke is what appeared when MIb wasnt supposed to leave and got, " REJECTED"
