In Music: The last track of 'Six Feet Under'
The last track of the show was a beautiful piece of ambiance while the final scenes of the show were shown. So sad! I wrote before how I wondered whether this show, which is about death, desensitised you from the death-experience. I think that it does the opposite, that you become more sensitive to it, but that ignoring it is worse—you have this constant shadow hanging over you, especially when you get older. I didn't realise that Alan Ball, who also wrote and directed 'American Beauty,' had done the same for this show. A marvellous piece of art and I feel privileged to have been allowed to see it (as I feel with many of HBO's shows).
Enjoy the track!
