It's true. And the manner in which it presents raw aspects of the lives of the living augments the realities of how the show addresses death. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's also one of the best dramatic TV series ever made.
those days the internet was more excited than today, yahoo, msn messenger, discman, flatscreen tube tv, hbo, cinemax, vhr, sex and the city, nokia and sony ericsson symbian os, etc.. call me old because I don't like netflix, no tiktok, no spotify and all those gimmicks
I remember watching the theme as a little kid. Watching the people die in the beginning of every episode, read their lifespan years on the screen and then watching this theme. First time I ever truly learned about death and how short life is.
I think The Sopranos was better, but Six Feet Under had a very strong effect on me. I remember feeling actually depressed and dreadful at points, and I don't think a poorly written/produced show could accomplish that.
@@joejohn. if you guys are arguing if any of those shows are objectively 'better' then you probably missed a lot of themes brought up in Six Feet Under
I remember flipping through the channels on the television, and this creepy music caught my attention. I watched the first show and became hooked on it.
Such a beautiful line. I sobbed throughout the series finale. Beautiful choice of Sia’s “Breathe Me”. It’s too bad she’s all pop now but she’s been around forever.
The opening scene always made me so sad when the hands were pulled apart. I had lost my precious husband 4 years earlier and I remember the feeling that those hands represented. I had kissed him goodbye for the last time that morning, never dreaming it would be the last.😢
This was the first and one of two shows i bought. I nearly watched...heard this music every time. There´s no better way to interpret life in a instrumental way than this. It fits to every season, every part. Over 30 years working in this job as a nurse I know: That´s the way life goes and ends. Exactly. Of course it touched me in a different deep kind to all those other loud and spectacular series i enjoyed, too. With it´s calm art of narratation with this powerful facettes of the violence of different emotions of individuums to the same facts it fascinated me as much as possible. I hope, that my english as a German is "understandable".
Eu tinha 12 anos quando a série começou a ser exibida pela HBO, eu simplesmente não conseguia acreditar no que via e na verdadeira convulsão de sentimentos que enfrentava naqueles momentos em que assistia cada capítulo. Definitivamente, mudou a minha forma de ver o mundo e de nele tentar sobreviver, pois é disso do que se trata, não é?
No show or movie hit me harder on an emotional level. There have been better shows imo like sopranos but nothing has ever stuck with me like six feet under. The only show or movie I actually miss
This is one of the best theme songs ever composed for a TV series. E flat minor is an unusual key signature (i.e. six flats by the clef -- relative major key of G flat major) for TV theme songs, and it's absolutely PERFECT for this piece and the show's subject matter.
Interesting. I only learned the melody line on guitar (played on a violin I'd guess on the recording, maybe a small horn). It is in E flat dominant pentatonic aka mixolydian pentatonic. One of my favorite scales - the minor 7 gives it some solemnity while the major third adds an uplifting element but without sounding happy. Beautiful piece of music and it perfectly fits the show.
@@jackreynolds6535 The use of accidentals will affect the resulting mode unless the composer uses an unorthodox key signature notation. I believe this has six flats in its key signature and thus it would be G-flat major or E-flat minor. I'll leave the modality to you and others here.
Can you believe I had to purchase season 1 and 2 on VHS on Ebay to watch this around 2003 on my 19in Sony Trinitron? I am not sure if Torrents existed back then.
I was 6 watching this show i had to keep it a secret from my mom bc she didnt want me watching it like the sopranos(now that i watched with my dad)lol 😂
He's really good. He's such a relatable character on this show, I feel such a bond to his character. I love his acting. His portrayal is so personal, so intimate, you feel like he could be you. Or vice versa. Love that easy-going, beautiful smile. Wow.
I started watching this show before my mother passed away. I dont know why the intro gives me so much peace and even a feeling of assurance about her death.
when I was like 13 years old, there were some movies in HBO like American beauty, and I thought there was a part of six feet under tv show, 'cause the soundtracks are quite similar
Andrés N. That’s because the brilliant film composer Thomas Newman wrote the score for American Beauty and this main theme for this show. I’m still pissed that he hasn’t won the Oscar many times over by now!
My wife was watching some Chinese drama and they just ripped this off, wholesale. I haven't seen or heard the show for a long time now, as I watched it when it first came out. As the Chinese show wafted up from downstairs, I thought, 'That sounds familiar'. A few seconds later, I thought, 'Six Feet Under' and made my way here. Those thieving bastards. :-)
Is it an alternative version of the opening credits?! Because I’ve noticed the way the words disappear like in this video... it looks great I think I’d have noticed. Maybe it’s not the version on hbo go.
i think so. my thought is it might be a version that didn't make the cut in the very beginning while the sfu creators were working with the digital kitchen company. or it's just been altered for copyright purposes. who knows.
those days the internet was more excited than today, yahoo, discman, flatscreen tube tv, hbo, cinemax, vhr, sex and the city, nokia and sony ericsson symbian os, etc..
I think I may have been into this series because of this music. That and Rachel Griffiths. Why she was not all over (at least) the Naughties and the 10s is a big mystery to me.
Must point that out I'm here strictly and literally just for the opening theme song, the 'catchy' melody randomly got into my ear a fed days ago and had to listen to it. 😌 I'm not a fan of the show, I fact never even seen a single episode and probably won't ever either, simply because it's a drama series and that's just not for me. I just can't have the emotional rollercoaster these come with, but simultaneously I do appreciate a production quality if that makes sense. 🤔🤷🏻♂️😅
Cameron Duvall it also sounds so similar to the Lemony Snicket movie soundtrack! Newman also composed that music too. It just sounds so similar hhahah.
Everyone who has watched this show has been touched by it in some way. It never truly leaves you.
It's true. And the manner in which it presents raw aspects of the lives of the living augments the realities of how the show addresses death. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's also one of the best dramatic TV series ever made.
So very true Ben.

This and The Sopranos are my fav of all time.
Not just HBO, but one of the greatest shows to ever exist, hands down.
The best dark comedy drama show ever made on television.
I prefer the term fuck-puppet.
In my opinion, hands down the best HBO show ever.
Devin MC i liked the sopranos better

You are SO right!What a beautiful show
Drake the wire was great but not on par with six feet or sopranos in my opinion.
Fascinating, mesmerizing, unforgetable Tv Drama.Still, after years one of the best thing, I have ever seen on tv.
This show was so ahead of its time. I just wish I could watch it for the first time again.
Same
I'm going through all the HBO that I've missed. Sopranos, The Wire, Six Feet Under, OZ... Amazing TV.
Those four you mentioned still tower over most of what's out there today! Have you given Deadwood a whirl?
X2
Oz!!!! In love...
Weird. Wonderful. Quirky. Brilliant.
Great description

Jepp. It was the same to me.
"You can't take a picture of this, it's already gone"
Such a beautiful line. I sobbed throughout the series finale. Beautiful choice of Sia’s “Breathe Me”. It’s too bad she’s all pop now but she’s been around forever.
Absolutely brilliant theme that captured the show perfectly. A true work of art.
Best opening ever. Still putting me willies.
Carlos PC Absolutely brilliant music.
***** Agreed. It was well done- from cradle to grave.
its... perfect
Carlos PC fuck yeah
Yes. Because you never knew quite what was coming next in the opening sequence
I like this better than The Sopranos, never thought a show like this would inspire me to get a will.
One of the greatest intros of all time.
*I love the opening song to this show.*
Hans Bjorgman same
best tv series EVER over the world. We miss it in Spain :(
The opening scene always made me so sad when the hands were pulled apart. I had lost my precious husband 4 years earlier and I remember the feeling that those hands represented. I had kissed him goodbye for the last time that morning, never dreaming it would be the last.😢

Fuck yes i was raised on this show. This shit yanked me back in time.
I used to watch this show at 7 years old
Nick Yates Hahaha same here.. that's probably why I'm so fucked up😂😂😂
Hahahaha word. Once I was just like randomly zapping at 2 am and found it. Never told anyone about it. Until we got hbo go. Hahaha
I was 6 watching this show i had to keep it a secret from my mom bc she didnt want me watching it like the sopranos(now that i watched with my dad)lol 😂
I loved this series .... says and feels what all of us truly feel
best series opening EVER
I love the skull ring on the hand of the pallbearer. Such a subtle nod to a dark sense of humor.
Best show in the universe ❤️
This song brings back so many memories from 2020
Love this show! It's where I first fell in love with Peter Krause, hopefully soon gets on another show, because Parenthood is no longer on 😢

the first contemporary opening on tv.
Twin Peaks tho
I friggin love Thomas Newman
One of the best HBO shows
I realized that I really missed it
The best intro and serie in the history.
Muss ich teilen, im Gedenken an unsere lieben.
Papa vermisse dich.
Best series ever. Best ending ever. I’ve been comparing Succession to it because the bar is just that high.
dead like me and this show kept me going.
...when the wheel of the stretcher spins when the main theme starts...breathtaking...
This show was brilliant. Won't be able to watch it again though...

una delle migliori sigle di tutti i tempi

best finale ever!
I love this show. ❤
Brilliant!! Why aren't there awards for opening credits?!
I remember watching this show with my parents when I was 3 lol...
Em va costar un parell pagès de setmanes el fet d'assumir que tot s'havia acabat i ja no tornaria a ser.
Alan Ball, gràcies per existir!
This Still scares me too this day , loved the show though
Best tv serie ever
Really great show.
this is my jam

Was young when it played on sabc (basic cable in rsa) late night it, made me feel weird scared and depro at the same time

I miss the Fisher family
I love the song OML!
OML!!!
I can't seem to find this song on Spotify nor Itunes. The best tv shows ever. Period.
I used to get the creeps for this theme😭
18 years later.....now I'm like this is actually stupid
But it's one of those unforgettable moments in TV history engraved in my consciousness
I’ve been watching this show on Amazon Prime and I have two more seasons to go
My wife was watching some Chinese drama and they just ripped this off, wholesale. I haven't seen or heard the show for a long time now, as I watched it when it first came out.

I haven't even seen this show, I just love the theme.
I recommend the show. It's one of those shows that makes you look at life and death in a different way. Very impactful show.
You've missed something. Or better, you've missed the thing.
Thanks HBO,感恩HBO, 讚歎HBO!
現在,
我們可以便利地在Netflix 上複習這部影集囉!
My favorite tv series ever
Öyle bir intro düşünün ki hayat gibi !
Kısa bir süre içinde Türkler buraya finali şöyleydi böyleydi, ayhhh nateee falan yazacaklar.
I regret my comment, I started liking it.
Such a classic HBO show
Best series show. From turkey
Amo el soundtrack.
I'm pretty sure either season 4 or 5 that they use the same title with a small changes when Alan Ball's name appeal on the grave stone
Galaxy TANG in the final season there was a violiny bit at the end that’s absent in seasons 1-4.
@@laurabourne7512Yes. Noticed that right away. Always wondered what inspired that little alteration.

I am just past watching their first season. I heard a lot about it but I found the series while entertaining to be just ok.
Give it time. It is wonderful.
Sounds like a song from Myst, always got my attention
Thank you very much...

reboot needed now
Thomas Newman is genius. He also did the awesome Boston Public theme. Don't know who the fuck Danny Yount is
This was so scary when I was younger yoh
brilliant!
only watched it because of this theme song, shit was so cash
Rick Beato is a Saint.
gives me the creeps...i didnt know family drama can be so addictive
I wanna rewatch this show. Anyone know where I can find it online?
Netflix
sounds kinda like finding Nemo :)
Thomas Newman composed both the soundtrack for Finding Nemo and the them for this show. That's why they sound so similar.
Cameron Duvall it also sounds so similar to the Lemony Snicket movie soundtrack! Newman also composed that music too. It just sounds so similar hhahah.
