Awesome Music / Arcane

• Ramsey's "Goodbye" from the ending of Episode 3 builds to an emotional crescendo that echoes the equally heart-breaking "You're a Jinx" from the score.
• It's almost unbelievable that "Our Love" is an original song for the show and not an obscure motown classic from 40 years ago.
• "A Bicentennial", a stirring track that perfectly captures the awe of seeing the Hexgate in action for the first time.
• "The Concerto", a haunting and mesmerizing violin solo that plays in Episode 5 at the concert hall where the councilors have gathered for their shadier deals. Notably, the track crescendos (with the symbolism of a thunderstorm being shuffled on-stage) as Mel pushes Jayce further into darker territory, watching him corrupt his idealism and sell his soul with a certain glee. In short, she plays him like a fiddle. Bonus points for the violinist being an avatar for Ray Chen, who co-composed and performed a few tracks for the show, including "The Concerto" and Sting's "What Could Have Been,"
• "Guns for Hire" by Woodkid plays in Episode 6 to heart-rending effect when Jinx decides to light the signal flare in the hope that Vi will find her again.
• "Dynasties and Dystopia", an awesome song that, combined with the extremely stylized combat makes the fight in Episode 7 between Ekko and Jinx even cooler.
• The tragic "Fallout" plays in episode 8 as Jayce accidentally kills a child and Caitlyn has her Shower of Angst.
• Fantastic Negrito's "When Everything Went Wrong", which plays during Vi's climactic rematch with Sevika in Episode 9, is a fast-paced banger that wouldn't sound out of place in a western saloon brawl.
• "What Could Have Been", sung by Sting at the end of Episode 9, is a hauntingly beautiful track that embodies Jinx's despair at Silco's death and the fact that her and Vi have changed too much to make reconciliation possible. The lyrics sing of what could have been had Vi not left Powder behind, in addition to underscoring that it was ultimately Vi, and not Silco, who started her transformation into Jinx. In the end, it also serves as a goodbye song, as the sisters, as well as Piltover and Zaun, have gone beyond the point of no return.
