5 | ---- |
6 | !!Season 1 |
7 | * [[https://youtu.be/kDoWhMt2_gs "I'm From Another Dimension"]]. The iconic theme song is an energetic earworm that makes you feel like adventuring to another dimension. |
8 | * [[https://youtu.be/lTgyEHDIKbw The end credits for Season 1-2]], the cheery song that Eden Sher sings [[DoItYourselfThemeTune herself]]. |
9 | * "Blood Moon Waltz". Especially the [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/129989194293/in-honor-of-tonights-supermoon-lunar-eclipse extended version]], which dips into a quieter, more intimate middle section before rising up for a grand finale. |
10 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/tagged/mewberty Mewberty Star's theme]] gives off a great horror vibe. |
11 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/126396873857/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-st-olgas "Heinous Scheme"]], playing at the end of "St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses" and letting you know big things are coming down the line. |
12 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/129123767538/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil "Skullnick vs. Evil"]], a score for Skullnick's big action scene. |
13 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/126967504433/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-mewnipendence "Mewnipendence Day Reenactment"]] is engaging music for a scene with a lot going on, both on the action level and the personal level. |
14 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/tagged/toffee/chrono Toffee's theme]]. Smooth, subtle, and sneaky like him. |
15 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/129617985793/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-storm-the "Toffee vs. Marco"]] conveys Toffee's smoothness while also being very catchy. |
16 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/129618099935/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-storm-the "Star's Decision"]] from the season one finale really gets across the gravitas of the situation. You can hear a slowed-down section of "Toffee vs. Marco" in it, too. Finally, it expands into a powerful climax. |
17 | * [[spoiler: The music box that plays for the ghost of the unicorn]]. Really lets it sink in. |
18 | |
19 | !!Season 2 |
20 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/151344101751/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-friendenemies "Awesome Feeling"]] and [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/157619460271/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-just-friends "Too Little Too Late"]], which perfectly portray Tom and Marco's relationship during the episode, especially the latter, sung by Marco and Tom themselves, giving off the vibe of a broken couple. |
21 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/153522796341/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-bon-bon-the "Waiting For Me"]], the song that plays when Star and Jackie see Marco dressed for the dance. |
22 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/153523403806/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-bon-bon-the The action music]] from "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown". "The Portal Turns" shows how far [[spoiler: Ludo]] has come, and "Save Star" is just epic and heartfelt. |
23 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/156995754016/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-raid-the-cave "Such a Simple Concept"]], the song that plays as [[spoiler: Star pushes through the All-Seeing Eye spell to reach Glossaryck, only to have him shoot her down.]] |
24 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/156995913091/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-baby-that "Tree of Hope"]], the music that plays as Star casts the spell that forms the tree in question and the tree grows. |
25 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/157045752461/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-running-with The music]] from "Running With Scissors" gives off some interesting wanderer vibes, and some sentimental pieces. |
26 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/157619056901/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-just-friends "Just Friends"]], the very catchy song from Love Sentence. |
27 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/157784215411/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-face-the-music "The Ballad of Star Butterfly".]] "SHE'S A REBEL PRINCESS, SHE'S THE BEST! SHE'S A BALL OF LIGHTNING IN A HOT PINK DRESS!" What else do you expect from Patrick frickin' Stump?! This is a rock ballad about Star the princess, and it's every bit as energetic and bold as her. Not to mention the third verse with its dark and heavy sound. |
28 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/157784536176/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-starcrushed The climactic battle music]] from "Starcrushed" makes interesting use of [[spoiler: Toffee, Ludo, and Moon]]'s themes. |
29 | |
30 | !!Season 3 |
31 | * [[https://youtu.be/tx6z1H7pRO0 The end credits from season 3]]. Despite being short, it manages to sound both epic and beautiful at the same time. Bonus points for sounding like it came straight out of ''Manga/SailorMoon''. |
32 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/163722948126/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-the-battle-for "Behold Queen Moon"]] from Moon's flashback in "The Battle for Mewni". Chilling use of her theme -- you can really feel that this is the moment when Moon truly became queen. |
33 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/167492195051/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-lava-lake "I Don't Wanna Know"]], the song that plays over Marco's breakdown at "Lava Lake Beach", is a sad indie rock track that has lyrics full of heartache. |
34 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/167492446706/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-sweet-dreams "Keep Star From Morphing"]], from "Sweet Dreams". A wonderfully trippy and ethereal techno piece that plays when Star flies through a dimensional void while dragging Marco along. |
35 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/167525396821/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-death-peck-cue "The Pigeon Future"]], which plays during Rich Pigeon's RousingSpeech to his kingdom in "Death Peck". A powerful, inspiring orchestral piece which perfectly complements the prince's plea. |
36 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/172214524141/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-booth-buddies "What's Different"]] is a melancholic, yet somehow romantic variation of [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/163722843551/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-the-battle-for "Thought We'd Never See Each Other"]] (which plays during Star and Marco's reunion in "The Battle for Mewni") that really sets the mood for [[spoiler:the kiss between Star and Marco in "Booth Buddies"]], as they realize how much their relationship has been deteriorating throughout the whole of Season 3 due to held back feelings. And the melody literally ends on a sour note once they realize a bit too late the mistake they just committed. |
37 | * One of the reasons "Conquer" is considered such an epic finale episode has to be due to the [[https://soundcloud.com/brian-h-kim/sfe342-suite song that plays during its final 7 minutes]], which encompasses the entirety of Star vs. Meteora and the following events, from their initial conversation to the moment [[spoiler:Eclipsa comes to save the day, cries for her apparently dead daughter who has actually been reborn, receives Star's wand and goes off to find her crystallized husband]]. |
38 | |
39 | !!Season 4 |
40 | * [[http://brianwithanh.tumblr.com/post/183847768441/from-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil-curse-of "Janna Skelter"]], Janna's new leitmotif, is a funky beat that sounds like it came straight out of ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''. |
41 | * Eclipsa's song "Sneaking Around" while having a date with Globgor inside of his mind is very heartwarming. |
42 | * "Some Kind of Magic" is the most heartwarming song of the series after Eclipsa and Globgor are finally accepted by society, and the racism in Mewni has finally been eliminated. |
