The House MD series finale was full of memorable moments, and the music was no exception. Here’s a look at some of the best tracks from the final episode.

Introduction

The House MD series finale was one of the most highly anticipated television events of the year. The show ended with a two-hour episode that was full of twists and turns, and the music played a big role in setting the tone for the episode.

The music for the series finale was composed by series composer Sean P. Callery, and it featured a mix of original score and licensed songs. The licensed songs were used to highlight key moments in the episode, and they included tracks by artists like Muse, David Bowie, and Nine Inch Nails.

The original score for the finale was made up of several emotional pieces that helped to underscore the intensity of the episode. One of the most memorable pieces from the score is called “We’re All Gonna Die.” This piece was used during a key scene in which House is reflecting on his life and all of the things that he’s done wrong.

The music for the House MD series finale was an important part of creating an emotionally charged and unforgettable episode.

The Music of House MD

The music of House MD has been an important part of the show since its beginning. The show has used a wide variety of music, from rock to classical to pop, and it has always been used to great effect. The show’s use of music has been praised by critics and fans alike, and it is one of the things that makes the show so unique.

2. “Baba O’Riley” by The Who
3. “House of Jealous Lovers” by The Rapture
4. “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears
5. “Giuliani’s Waltz #2” by Bruce Springsteen

The Music of House MD – Season 2

In the second season of House MD, the music of J.S. Bach becomes a significant plot point. House (Hugh Laurie) is hired to diagnose a famous violinist, Greg House (Jesse Spencer), who has suddenly lost the ability to play. The two eventually bond over their shared love of music, and House helps Greg regain his passion for playing.

The second season also features a number of other well-known pieces of classical music, including Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 and Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto.

The Music of House MD – Season 3

The third season of House, an American television medical drama, commenced airing on the Fox network on September 5, 2006, and ended on May 29, 2007. The season’s storyline started at the end of the previous season with House driving his car into Cuddy’s (Lisa Edelstein) living room. Thirteen (Olivia Wilde) and Kutner ( Kal Penn) were introduced in the third season as new full-time members of the diagnostic team.

One of the most acclaimed aspects of the show is its music supervision. Every episode features a number of songs which serve to underline aspects of both plot and character development. Music is often used to indicate House’s headspace – for example in “Son of a Bitch”, where he hallucinates that he is singing “Baker Street” alongside Wilson. Other times, it is used diegetically – characters are seen or heard playing music or talking about music.

Here is a list of some notable pieces of music used in Season 3:

-“Baker Street” by Gerry Rafferty
-“In Between Days” by The Cure
-“Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush
-“You Can’t Always Get What You Want” by The Rolling Stones

The Music of House MD – Season 4

One of the things that made House MD such a great show was its use of music. The soundtrack was always perfectly chosen to fit the mood of the scene, and it often helped to convey House’s emotional state.

Season 4 was no exception, and the music played a vital role in some of the show’s most memorable moments. Here are just a few of the songs that made Season 4 special:

1. “Teardrop” by Massive Attack – This song was used in the episode “House’s Head”, and it perfectly captured the mood of the scene in which House is trying to piece together his memories after suffering a head injury.

2. “You Don’t Know What Love Is” by The White Stripes – This song was used in the episode “Forever”, and it perfectly conveyed the emotional rollercoaster that House was going through as he tried to come to terms with his feelings for Cuddy.

3. “Simple Twist of Fate” by Bob Dylan – This song was used in the episode “It’s a Wonderful Lie”, and it perfectly summed up House’s complicated relationship with his ex-wife Stacy.

4. “No Regrets” by Coyote Grace – This song was used in the episode “No Reason”, and it perfectly conveyed House’s feelings of guilt and regret after he realized that he may have caused Amber’s death.

5. “Help Me” by Joni Mitchell – This song was used in the season finale, “Wilson’s Heart”, and it perfectly captured House’s emotional state as he faced losing his best friend.

The Music of House MD – Season 5

Music has always been an important part of House, and the show’s soundtrack consists of a wide variety of genres. The fifth season features music from a variety of artists, including Duffy, Nirvana, Radiohead, and Bob Dylan. As the season progresses, the music becomes more and more integral to the plot, and by the season finale, it is clear that the creators of House put a great deal of thought into choosing each song.

The first half of the season is relatively light on music, with only a handful of scenes featuring any diegetic sound. However, in the episode “Joy to the World”,house goes on a rampage through PPTH set to “Runnin’ With The Devil” by Van Halen, which establishes early on that music will play a larger role in this season. This theme continues in subsequent episodes, with songs like “Sledgehammer” by Peter Gabriel and “I Want You Back” by The Jackson 5 being used diegetically to great effect.

The use of music reaches its peak in the episode “House’s Head”, in which House tries to piece together his memories of the previous 48 hours after suffering from partial amnesia. In this episode, we see House imagining different scenarios set to popular songs like “Black Hole Sun” by Soundgarden and “Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi. These sequences are some of the most memorable moments in the entire series, and they would not be nearly as effective without the use of music.

In the final two episodes of the season (“Under My Skin” and “Both Sides Now”), music is used diegetically once again to great effect. The series finale, in particular, features an extended montage set to Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love”, which perfectly encapsulates House’s journey over the course of the series.

Overall, Season 5 is perhaps best remembered for its heavy use of music, which helped to make some of the most emotionally powerful moments in the series even more impactful.

The Music of House MD – Season 6

One of the things that made House MD such a great show was its use of music. Every episode featured a number of songs, carefully chosen to set the mood and create an emotional response in the viewer.

The show’s music supervisor,ora Derrington, did an amazing job of finding just the right songs for each scene. With her help, we’ve put together a playlist of some of the most memorable moments from Season 6 of House MD.
