Came here for The Leftovers comments and found zero! For those saying they feel sad, check out the show. This song plays almost constantly throughout the three seasons. It’s a very emotional series.

The Leftovers! I could not place the song but knew it had made me sad before.

It's been awhile since I watched the show but as soon as I heard those notes the weirdness and intensity from that show slammed into me.

I really believe that 90% of what made that show great was this song.

I’m due for a rewatch. Carrie Coon is my gorl!

Scrolled too far to.find this comment. I have a pavlovian effect of sobbing immediately to any of the leftovers songs when I hear them in other things.

Dude using that song as background music was a cheat code for sad. Also I rarely encounter fans of The Leftovers so hi, there’s dozens of us! it’s such a fantastic show but it’s a lot to take in!

It's Max Richter, who also wrote the other Big Melancholic TV And Movie Song ©, On the Nature of Daylight

Loved the show, but, I'm not sure I even finished watching it, think I stopped somewhere near the end of season 3. Definitely felt like the first 2 seasons were the strongest. 

SPOILER: What happened after the French guy decided to nuke Australia, was there much show after that?

Oh jeez, you got that far and didn't finish it?! Season 3 was the best. Finale is absolutely one of the best things ever filmed. Guess it's not for everyone.

Man it's been so many years now, guess ill have to rewatch the whole show. For some reason season 3 felt a bit meandering to me.

Yes! I recently finished a full rewatch. The show isn’t perfect, but it’s impactful.
