Music Nerd Challenge: Imagine a Soundtrack for Episode 5 [potential SPOILERS]

[mistabobdobolina]

A core part of the soul of the Life is Strange experience has been the music: a luminous and bittersweet acoustic folk medley with touches of other genres. It's arguably the single element that makes the connection with the setting and characters strongest, and for me at any rate it's one of the game's biggest triumphs.

So as I came to the end of Episode 4 I found myself wondering: what kind of soundscape might the next episode -- which will clearly be dealing directly with the game's darkest themes and most dangerous characters -- make use of?

Of course we'll have to wait to find out. But the music nerd in me couldn't resist speculating about what kinds of songs could work. And I wound up with a playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTTY_3UUKVIJfEpqr1uvl0pIhxoLwna7f

The tracks are:
Bon Iver - Blindsided
Daughter - Youth
Syd Matters - Tired Young Man (this one is for Nathan)
King Dude & Chelsea Wolfe - Be Free (dark ballad for the villain & his "girls")
Woodkid - Iron (anthem for the struggles and conflict the story seems likely to involve)
Angus & Julia Stone - Devil's Tears
Neither / Neither World - Dream of You (song for Chloe and Rachel)
Jose Gonzalez - Far Away
King Dude - Lucifer's the Light of the World (farewell to the villain, hopefully)
Bon Iver - Calgary (song for the aftermath, Chloe & Max)
Syd Matters - End & Start Again (song for Max & Warren)
... and of course the lovely end credits music.

If there be any music nerds out there: which songs would *you* love to hear in Episode 5 and why?

I would really love to see more of Syd Matters' work make it into the soundtrack, he truly is beautiful. Far Away would be a great thing to see too. They certainly have enough money to get a few more songs in there, seeing as Life Is Strange passed a million copies sold a bit ago.

Kids Will Be Skeletons has been featured somewhere but I can't remember where, either. I would have gone with Ep. 3 too. I was actually of the impression that all four of the songs [8thVA] ManlyMan mentions have turned up somewhere already, but I could be wrong about that.

Maybe In My Mind has shown up, and I'm actually fairly sure that Kids Will be Skeletons has shown up in episode three before, but I am certain that the two sad ass songs haven't shown up yet.

edit: I think a cutscene version of In My Mind might have shown up with no lyrics, but I'm still not sure about that.

edit the second: Apparently Chloe was listening to In My Mind with no lyrics with when you come back to the original timeline.

Check the full soundtrack guide, all the stuff is listed and when the music pops up.

We heard Kids will be Skeleton in ep.3 And "In my Mind" played in ep. 4.

If there was a traditional for "Butterfly Effect" ending where we need Chloe to die forever in order to save the rotten Arcadia Bay this would perfectly fit, IMO.

Yeah that's what I thought, I just wasn't sure. But I think that the version with lyrics will still appear in episode five.

I think you can choose the lyrical version of In My Mind in episode 4. I

In Chloe's room, I can't remember if it is the part after you return to the normal world or during the csi scene, but you can play one of three songs on Chloe's music player. One of the songs is In My Mind. I chose Piano Fire in my playthrough.

I do know that these songs will be in the soundtrack as far as I know. A lot of people found them in the files and they're unused so they most likely will

"Seeker of the Sight" by George Timothy

"In My Mind" by Amanda Palmer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hixNeV7h5c4

"The Sense of Me" by Mud Flow (This song is sad as ♥♥♥♥)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqxqC4xrDfQ

Also as far as I'm sure this hasn't been heard yet either "Kids Will Be Skeletons" by Mogwai
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR_-8kxcuaA
I think this may have been in episode three or so, but I really can't remember.

Actually, both In My Mind has been used in episode 4, and Kids Will Be Skeletons is in the end of episode 3.

If this song played in this game I would cry out of joy and out of sadness that DONTNOD just bankrupted themselves for getting the rights to use this song.

Hans Zimmer's music actually sounds more interesting in classic guitar format. Fascinating.

The lyrics makes me think about Max

[mistabobdobolina]

You know... I think I actually recognized a song one of the thread contributors here suggested in the final episode! I'm just trying to put my finger on which one it was.

Hope you all enjoyed Ep5 as much as I did! :)
