This is one of my favorite episodes of this podcast. We were provided so much insight of how and why decisions were made in regard to the music. It was powerful to hear that the music was the subtext to the scene. Now I understand why those moments hit so deeply. We all feel that in our life. Thanks for sharing your incredible gift with us.
YES PLEASE. We could listen to them dive deep into everything This Is Us. We're prepared and signed up for all the laughs, tears and our souls to be changed forever again
I was honestly going to skip this episode because I didn't think I would care about it, but decided to put it on in the background while I did work. I was ENTHRALLED. Absolutely fascinating, thank you for all of the background information!
I am floored by this episode and by Mr. Khosla here! First of all - the way he played Jacks theme is just 🥹😭😭 and then just to hear his process with everything is just WOW .. what a talent - thank you for this episode!!!
This episode was incredible. The music is a character on This is Us and meeting the genius behind the music was indeed the chef’s kiss. Please bring him again.
This was the episode I didn't know I was waiting for! The Score has been one of my favorite characters from the show since my initial watch. Thank you, Sidd, for taking your risks and coming from such a personal place so that we, too, can feel it from such a personal place. Like Mandy, my tears started flowing immediately when he played and sang for the first time on this episode (and I can't blame pregnancy hormones!). Of course, the scene being covered was an emotional scene, but it was Sidd who brought it home. My heart is full after this episode.
Literal chills all over my body and tears down my face when Sid started singing and playing that Indian piece. Absolutely wild how music moves a body so deeply.
This was a great episode. Literal tears. How Sid was able to connect his childhood experiences with his mother to Dan's experiences as well as the Pearsons... wow. The scene where he played the tune from the funeral and discussed Kate & her meltdown with the sticks with the entire process. What an amazing opportunity you have given us to see how all of it unfolded. Sid - you are AWESOME.
Sid, I watched Goldspot perform in Delhi years ago and I'm delighted to learn that you're behind this music that has moved me so many times. I remember listening to the music from the funeral sequence and noticing the Indian influence. Listening to you explain how it came together had me grinning ear to ear!
Wow! This is definitely my favorite podcast episode so far. What an amazing story and peek into what composers do. I loved hearing about his influences and just seeing how much heart really went into this show. It’s incredible. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This guy's brilliance with the music he created for the show was phenomenal. I also have to mention whosever Idea it was to put in "To build a house" is amazing. I cry so hard every time I hear that song now. It was so impactful and I'd really love to know whose idea it was to put that specific song in there during the fire.
As much as this interview showcases how incredible he is as an artist can i also say that this also once again what a GENIUS Fogleman is! Absolute magic in his mind
In the Christian church we use “oh’s” in music as what’s known as “war cry’s”. A cry out to God to give us courage and strength in the time of battle. When I heard those oh’s in 42:28 I got emotional. It made me think of all the battles the Pearsons faced throughout the show and ultimately got through. The music in this show really says so much it’s truly mind blowing.
En 2022, cuando realizaba viajes de 1 hora y media para llegar a mi universidad, siempre ponía la música original de "This is us" Desde que descubrí a Sid Khosla, siempre se ha mantenido en el Top 1 en Spotify. Su música es muy relajante, me ayuda a concentrarme cuando manejo, leo un libro, ordeno mi habitación o estudio. Gracias por todo Sid Khosla! ❤
I'm 42 minutes in and I just had to pause and appreciate today's episode, and the magic that Sid's scores are. I'm getting goosebumps listening to this score for the umpteenth time. This is, without a doubt, my favorite episode of this podcast so far.
Learning the origin of that song is mind blowing. As soon as I heard it I grabbed my chest and cried. Yes I'll be following Siddhartha in ever platform😂❤
When the guitar came out, I knew this podcast episode would destroy me even more 😭. What an absolute blessing it was to get insight into Sid's creative process. I viscerally remember the first time I heard this particular piece of music in S1E13 and how it forever changed the depth of the series for me (and it was already waaaaay deeper than anything I remember watching on network TV). The score holds this tension between grief and peace so profoundly. Thank you for illuminating all of this for us viewers and listeners ❤️
I watch this podcast religiously, and this was by far my favourite episode 🥰🥺 as an Indian-South African girl who loves music, Sid's frame of reference and take on how his culture impacts (or tries not to impact) him, I have never been seen more, in a long time ❤️🙏 I really appreciate this show so much, it really taught me so much watching it as a teenager and trying to figure out life. This podcast is an amazing reminder of that ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This show really has room and space for everyone, across all races, religions, cultures and backgrounds. Nothing else like it 🥹❤️🩹 Love from South Africa 😉🥰
Had to watch this twice, three times. Certain parts when Sidd played, more. Wow. His music is soul quenching. Full goosebumps. Thank you for making this episode and sharing Sidd and all of his creative process with us. So very poignant. 💚
I have so much respect, love and admiration for Siddhartha Khosla. I discovered Siddhartha's music when 'This Is Us' released in 2016 and I just fell in love with his music, artistry and creativity as a music composer. His music has soul which is layered with deep emotion. I love that he had the room to explore his Indian musical heritage through the 'This Is Us' soundtrack. There are so many masterful pieces of music from 'This Is Us' and I have a dedicated playlist where I listen to these profound pieces of music over and over again. Siddhartha's music fills my heart with emotional joy. I always find myself becoming teary-eyed whenever I hear his pieces of music especially from 'This Is Us'. And now watching this interview and his creative process moved me to tears. He truly understood the soul of 'This Is Us' and his music became the soul of the show. 💗🎼🎸📼📽🎞😢
Oh, Sid playing and singing ‘That was us’ must be the music at every ending episodes! I had so much fun with this! Loved it so much to know how you all bonded as a family. ❤ Thank you so much for it. Love from Brazil.
😮💨 when Sidd starts playing and singing .. you can feel his gentle and kind energy through his music .. I felt it right away 🥹 his talent is such a gift to the world ✨ A beautiful episode. Thank you very much 🤍
I loved this episode, it was so fascinating. I love learning how the show came together and about the amazingly talented people that brought it to life. This is why This Is Us touches our hearts 🥰
Oh my. Music has always moved me and plays an important part in any show that I watch. Listening to Sid and how he came to create the backgrounds that brought the words and acting to life was inspiring and very touching. I was moved to tears more than once during this episode. He is such an understated talent. Thank you for bringing him onto the podcast so we can all appreciate and admire what he brings to any show of which he plays a part.
Multiple goosebumps over and over throughout this episode thank you so much for this episode! Resonated with me SO much as and Indian gal who super emotes to music and the arts
OMG!! When Sid starts explaining (and recreating) the process of coming up with the sound/the core music of the show and how his indian background is such a big part of it...I was bawling like a lunatic 😅 just like the first time I heard it in episode 13. That's when I got hooked to the show. The characters. The story. The music. This combo is emotionally overwhelming in the best way possible ❤❤❤ thank you all for this wonderful episode ! Thank you Sid for this masterpiece you created for This is Us ❤❤❤
I always get so excited when I recognise familiar names from new shows/movies I watch and just know that it’s gonna be great. Sid and Dan are one of those.
Sid!!!🎉🎉🎉 this episode!!! He uses the combination of music and story to tell us the story of the score for the show. Goosebumps!!! And lemon face and all the great feels!!!🎉🎉🎉 thank you team for bringing this episode to us
It's incredible how special the music in this show is. I knew there was a certain originality, but I had no idea there was so much Indian influence! It makes me love it even more. Thanks so much for sharing this.
to this day i cannot listen to we can always come back to this and memorized without crying, they're such powerful songs! i think memorized sums the message of this is us so perfectly. "how can a stranger ever end up being you" lives in my mind forever.
This is my favorite episode so far. I know we’re all waiting for the Milo episode but learning the process of how the music was created for the show is great. I’ve been walking around alternating between singing “we can always come back to this” and “this is us”. 😂😂
I was waiting for the moment you would all sit down with Sid to hear on the musical side of the show and it did not disappoint! It was like unraveling another layer of the magic that made up this wonderful show. So many interesting details in the relationship between Dan and Sid, Sid's own personal and professional journey, and how Sid went about the actual show. I love how you all share the credit of the magic and emotion created through This is Us and at the same time, you all keep each other real about not selling yourselves short on your contributions to the show. The real magic of this show is that we got all these wonderful elements put together; between the acting, the music, the writing, the editing, and all these amazing people taking part in breathing life to This is Us. From Us to you...thank you all for what you did here with This is Us and thank you for what you continue to do now through That was Us.
Thinking back on the music in general, I would definitely be interested in hearing about Nicky's Theme (Nicky's Trailer - Songbird Road: Part One). That one was particularly memorable. Also loved his characted and development throughout the series.
My new favorite episode and so beautiful to meet the man behind the music after all these years. I started listening to the soundtracks from the show because I fell in love with the emotion and calm rhythms of the music throughout the seasons. Listened on Spotify and now watching on TH-cam!❤
A compelling, insightful and deeply substantive episode. Loved the idea that the music was a character of its own in the show, I think so as well. The musical selections, original pieces throughout the 6 seasons were the connective tissue between the characters, time and space, and the human condition. The conversation at 45:00 min. about the Indian influences on the score where Sidd combined the table drumming with the Indian sounds, together, they are the sounds of grief and gratitude living side by side, as life goes on...so appropriate for Jack's passing/funeral scene, a pivotal moment that changed everyone's life. Siddhartha is both humble and brilliant, a winning, transformative combination. Thank you for this wonderful episode, one I will listen to more than once.
i can’t tell you how much i cried while watching this podcast. the music truly does something to my heart. thank you for continuing to share all the beauty that was this show
The score is as much a character of the show as everyone else. It is absolutely stunningly beautiful and transcendent. It bridges the back and forth between time periods so incredibly.
Sidd is a genius! I listen to his music every day to focus on work, haha! Please, guys, do a fan segment about the impact of his music on the audience! I'm sure you received some good stories about the This is Us score.
Wow, WHAT AN EPISODE. Absolutely stunned and honestly… obsessed with This Is Us AND this podcast. How truly amazing. Such INCREDIBLE talent. ♥️ wow wow wow. No words for this episode… truly! This episode really did it for me 🥹
can’t believe you actually used 🎶 “that was us” 🎵 by Sid for this podcast’s end credit 😅👏🏻 on a serious note, this episode is so soulful , my heart feels like bursting as well as my eyes welling up just hearing sid and his original songs/scores 🥹🤍
Amazing- I also love the song Sid and his band did on an episode of How I met your mother “If the Hudson overflows” and now to bring it back to This is Us - Fun fact-The house that Kevin built for Rebecca is Allison Hannigan’s house and she played Lilly on How I met your mother - small world
I cannot take that brilliant melody out of my mind. Since the moment I heard it, oh gosh!! Memories came back, life experiences, all together. IS A SONG FOR LIFE!!! Love the show. So resemblance to many, many family stuff. Uff. Thanks for doing such an AMAZING SHOW.
THIS EPISODE. WOW. Thank you guys for all the back stories and for Sid sharing his genius with us. My husband is also a musician so I could really appreciate knowing how some songs are created and where the inspiration comes from and seeing the beautiful final product. This was great. This was us 😊
So wonderful we get a chance to meet with and learn about the “back of the house” members for the show. And indeed the scores and melodies through all the seasons complemented the storylines. Love love love everything about the show and this podcast!!!
This episode was delightful! I was not expecting it but it hit me hard when Sid took that guitar and did his thing. Wow, musical genius! Really touches the soul with a hum or strum.
This was such an amazing episode!!! Thank you Sid for making such memorable music to go along with such an amazing television show we can enjoy for decades to come!
😭😭😭 This is the episode that will get me to actually rewatch!!! I’ve been enjoying watching the podcast just following the episodes by memory and what you guys share, and feel sometimes tempted to start rewatching and wonder if I should just listen to you and your guests and maybe rewatch after your finish episodes for each season…. but THIS JUST GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS and made me tear up so much. That moment of Jack’s funeral music … i felt it in my stomach. What an incredible smooth hugging voice Siddhartha Khosla has!! ❤️🩹❤️
This was an amazing podcast episode. I felt all the emotions again from the show and now headed to pull up those key episodes with all the new insight I learned.
Oh my gosh!!! I have loved every episode of this podcast, but this one is definitely my favorite!! All of the music throughout the show was absolutely one of my FAVORITE characters! And it was definitely like another character, because it played such a beautiful and powerful role in each episode. Sid, the world is lucky to have you and thank you so much for sharing your art (and your heart). The music gets me every single time and I absolutely love it! ❤
I didn’t know I could love the show more than I already do. This just added so much more depth and understanding to the beauty of the show’s storytelling ❤️😭
I'm only half way through this episode and this might just be the greatest podcast episode on a rewatch podcast ever! I remember listening to another This Is Us music exploration podcast years ago and having the same reaction. There's just something about the music and score on this show that was operating on a whole other level.
Wow! 🥰 This is why This Is Us continues to touch lives and will resonate for generations to come! We echo all the heartfelt sentiments shared in the comments. Listening to those stories brought us to the very brink of tears, and then, as the guitar played and the music began, the floodgates opened. The emotions were overwhelming, definitely transcending 🙌 Thank you for all your beautiful souls. This is, without a doubt, our favorite episode across the entire podcast universe. We’ll be listening to this on repeat. we knew Chris will be adding That Was Us jingle to the credit 🤣
I watch these episodes every week and enjoy them every week. But this episode was phenomenal! What a gift to meet the man behind the music that made me weep every week! Thank you for bringing this special man to the show! 🎶❤
I am speechless after watching this episode. I knew the music was amazing in this show, but somehow learning the stories behind it all makes it that much more profound. You all have the most beautiful souls. Thank you so much for sharing yourselves and your stories, and thank you so much for introducing us to Sid Kholsa like this. ❤
I will forever be grateful for this show and literally every single person who worked on this outsanding project. From episode 1 I felt the emotional part that the music held in the show. Forever amazed by the work!
Such an amazing and moving episode...hearing more about the stories of the show creators and how they are woven throughout...the depth, meaning, and authenticity of this show- in the fictional stories and the real life stories- is beautiful. 💗
I'm a couple of weeks late but this is by far one of my fav rewatch episodes yet! What a wonderfully talented human being Sid is❤ Had me in tears almost the entire episode!
This was such a great episode!! I cannot wait to rewatch and listen to the music now after hearing so much more about it. The music is so powerful in the series. Thank you for all you shared about it! Hope to hear even more in future episodes. 😊
I listened to this podcast and HAD to come back and watch the video. I never realized how much of a CORE CHARACTER the music was on This Is Us. What a great episode!!!!
I recently finished watching the series for the second time. I have LOVED the insights and deep dive of this podcast. I have to say, as much as I love every episode of the podcast so far, this is my new favorite. Getting to know the history of Dan & Sid's relationship all the way through is thrilling and fascinating. I now need to watch the series again and pay even more attention to all of the music and the connective themes. So beautiful. Thank you for providing a safe space to feel everything from gut-wrenching sadness to cleansing, tearful bliss each and every week and again and again with this podcast.
This is one of my favorite episodes of this podcast. We were provided so much insight of how and why decisions were made in regard to the music. It was powerful to hear that the music was the subtext to the scene. Now I understand why those moments hit so deeply. We all feel that in our life. Thanks for sharing your incredible gift with us.
well said 😲😲😲😲
Exactly 💯
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Can we have Sid and Dan back together in an episode? 😭😭😭😭😭 this is amazing.
@@orlan.brigino Yes! Yes! Yes!
Yes 🙌🏽
YES PLEASE. We could listen to them dive deep into everything This Is Us. We're prepared and signed up for all the laughs, tears and our souls to be changed forever again
Pleeeease
At 40:00 Sidd playing the guitar 🎸 I felt it in my bones 🥲 and every one got teary esp Chris and he is just quietly sitting and observing ❤❤❤
Rewatching exactly this
I cried so hard at that part!!
It's just magic
Exactly, gave me chills
I was honestly going to skip this episode because I didn't think I would care about it, but decided to put it on in the background while I did work. I was ENTHRALLED. Absolutely fascinating, thank you for all of the background information!
Sid is sooo cool and entertaining.. Thanks for not interrupting and leaving him the space to freely talk..
The SECOND he started playing the guitar, my heart felt the gates of tears open up!!!!! 😭😭😭
I am floored by this episode and by Mr. Khosla here! First of all - the way he played Jacks theme is just 🥹😭😭 and then just to hear his process with everything is just WOW .. what a talent - thank you for this episode!!!
I downloaded “We Can Always Come Back to This” after the Memphis episode, and listened on repeat (and cried) all night. Sid Khosla found his groove.
and the Hannah Miller's version got its own flavour as well
This episode was incredible. The music is a character on This is Us and meeting the genius behind the music was indeed the chef’s kiss. Please bring him again.
This was the episode I didn't know I was waiting for!
The Score has been one of my favorite characters from the show since my initial watch. Thank you, Sidd, for taking your risks and coming from such a personal place so that we, too, can feel it from such a personal place. Like Mandy, my tears started flowing immediately when he played and sang for the first time on this episode (and I can't blame pregnancy hormones!). Of course, the scene being covered was an emotional scene, but it was Sidd who brought it home. My heart is full after this episode.
I got emotional 7 minutes in when Sid talked about who Dan is. That is wild and explains so much.
Literal chills all over my body and tears down my face when Sid started singing and playing that Indian piece. Absolutely wild how music moves a body so deeply.
This was a great episode. Literal tears. How Sid was able to connect his childhood experiences with his mother to Dan's experiences as well as the Pearsons... wow. The scene where he played the tune from the funeral and discussed Kate & her meltdown with the sticks with the entire process. What an amazing opportunity you have given us to see how all of it unfolded. Sid - you are AWESOME.
“Kevin’s Necklace” is my favourite score from Sid. Just impeccable ❤
This might be my favorite interview so far! Something about it.... This guy is insanely talented
Sid, I watched Goldspot perform in Delhi years ago and I'm delighted to learn that you're behind this music that has moved me so many times. I remember listening to the music from the funeral sequence and noticing the Indian influence. Listening to you explain how it came together had me grinning ear to ear!
Wow! This is definitely my favorite podcast episode so far. What an amazing story and peek into what composers do. I loved hearing about his influences and just seeing how much heart really went into this show. It’s incredible. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Why did I cry at 40:32 😢❤ omg
I LOVE YOU SID💛! You're my top 3 artist on spotify.
Ps: Mandy is GLOWING!!!
As a musician, this episode touched my heart. Thank you for the gift of yourself, Sid ❤
So excited to see this! I always felt like the music was another character in the show
This guy's brilliance with the music he created for the show was phenomenal. I also have to mention whosever Idea it was to put in "To build a house" is amazing. I cry so hard every time I hear that song now. It was so impactful and I'd really love to know whose idea it was to put that specific song in there during the fire.
As much as this interview showcases how incredible he is as an artist can i also say that this also once again what a GENIUS Fogleman is! Absolute magic in his mind
In the Christian church we use “oh’s” in music as what’s known as “war cry’s”. A cry out to God to give us courage and strength in the time of battle. When I heard those oh’s in 42:28 I got emotional. It made me think of all the battles the Pearsons faced throughout the show and ultimately got through. The music in this show really says so much it’s truly mind blowing.
The story about how they filmed Jack Damon's hit song during a break in the Chicago concert - chef's kiss!

The music hits hard, in every episode. Genius!
What’s beautiful is when you guys just sit there and soak it all in.
I watch this podcast religiously, and this was by far my favourite episode 🥰🥺 as an Indian-South African girl who loves music, Sid's frame of reference and take on how his culture impacts (or tries not to impact) him, I have never been seen more, in a long time ❤️🙏 I really appreciate this show so much, it really taught me so much watching it as a teenager and trying to figure out life. This podcast is an amazing reminder of that ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

To be this talented and insightful is otherwordly. A beautiful person and composer.

There was SO MUCH INTENTION in every piece of this show. This is why we FELT it so deeply.
The score is as much a character of the show as everyone else. It is absolutely stunningly beautiful and transcendent. It bridges the back and forth between time periods so incredibly.
Sidd is a genius! I listen to his music every day to focus on work, haha! Please, guys, do a fan segment about the impact of his music on the audience! I'm sure you received some good stories about the This is Us score.
I now understand why i couldn't get the music out of my head. I really loved hearing the back stories 😢❤
Wow, WHAT AN EPISODE. Absolutely stunned and honestly… obsessed with This Is Us AND this podcast. How truly amazing. Such INCREDIBLE talent. ♥️ wow wow wow. No words for this episode… truly! This episode really did it for me 🥹

Absolutely loved learning everything from this episode! Thank you all who help make this happen!
Wowww, how the music for the Kate/funeral scene was created is amazing story telling, he really took us inside the magic creation.. Thank you, Sid
Wow this episode is so good! When he played that music from the show I started tearing up. 😢😊so good!!!
Amazing- I also love the song Sid and his band did on an episode of How I met your mother “If the Hudson overflows” and now to bring it back to This is Us - Fun fact-The house that Kevin built for Rebecca is Allison Hannigan’s house and she played Lilly on How I met your mother - small world
They looked so hypnotized when he's playing
When Sid picked up that guitar and started playing…..what a gift man. Immediately started to feel the tears. 🥹
Genuinely my favorite episode of the pod so far. Need more score breakdowns and insights from all shows like this!
I cannot take that brilliant melody out of my mind. Since the moment I heard it, oh gosh!! Memories came back, life experiences, all together. IS A SONG FOR LIFE!!! Love the show. So resemblance to many, many family stuff. Uff. Thanks for doing such an AMAZING SHOW.
I listened to this the other day on Spotify but the magic of the music and the way I teared up made me have to physically watch this episode.
I listened to Memorized on repeat for months.
I just had so many goosebumps and tears when he started in on describing the scene and then started playing the music. So beautiful.
THIS EPISODE. WOW. Thank you guys for all the back stories and for Sid sharing his genius with us. My husband is also a musician so I could really appreciate knowing how some songs are created and where the inspiration comes from and seeing the beautiful final product. This was great. This was us 😊
So wonderful we get a chance to meet with and learn about the “back of the house” members for the show. And indeed the scores and melodies through all the seasons complemented the storylines. Love love love everything about the show and this podcast!!!
This episode was delightful! I was not expecting it but it hit me hard when Sid took that guitar and did his thing. Wow, musical genius! Really touches the soul with a hum or strum.
Was listening to this in the car and also felt the need to watch it as well. 🥹😭
Incredible conversation! One of the most remarkable episodes so far!!! What a talent... Bravissimi!
This was such an amazing episode!!! Thank you Sid for making such memorable music to go along with such an amazing television show we can enjoy for decades to come!
😭😭😭 This is the episode that will get me to actually rewatch!!! I’ve been enjoying watching the podcast just following the episodes by memory and what you guys share, and feel sometimes tempted to start rewatching and wonder if I should just listen to you and your guests and maybe rewatch after your finish episodes for each season…. but THIS JUST GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS and made me tear up so much. That moment of Jack’s funeral music … i felt it in my stomach. What an incredible smooth hugging voice Siddhartha Khosla has!! ❤️🩹❤️
My favorite episode of the podcast!!! Gosh the music you created made the show whole for me.
This was an amazing podcast episode. I felt all the emotions again from the show and now headed to pull up those key episodes with all the new insight I learned.
Oh my gosh!!! I have loved every episode of this podcast, but this one is definitely my favorite!! All of the music throughout the show was absolutely one of my FAVORITE characters! And it was definitely like another character, because it played such a beautiful and powerful role in each episode. Sid, the world is lucky to have you and thank you so much for sharing your art (and your heart). The music gets me every single time and I absolutely love it! ❤
Damn - understanding Sidd's perspective makes this show even more magical, which I can't believe is still possible 🥺
I didn’t know I could love the show more than I already do. This just added so much more depth and understanding to the beauty of the show’s storytelling ❤️😭
Wow! What a beautiful and special episode! Sid is so talented. So good to hear the stories of his creations. Thank you!
I'm only half way through this episode and this might just be the greatest podcast episode on a rewatch podcast ever! I remember listening to another This Is Us music exploration podcast years ago and having the same reaction. There's just something about the music and score on this show that was operating on a whole other level.
Wow! 🥰 This is why This Is Us continues to touch lives and will resonate for generations to come!
We echo all the heartfelt sentiments shared in the comments. Listening to those stories brought us to the very brink of tears, and then, as the guitar played and the music began, the floodgates opened. The emotions were overwhelming, definitely transcending 🙌 Thank you for all your beautiful souls.
This is, without a doubt, our favorite episode across the entire podcast universe. We’ll be listening to this on repeat.
we knew Chris will be adding That Was Us jingle to the credit 🤣
I watch these episodes every week and enjoy them every week. But this episode was phenomenal! What a gift to meet the man behind the music that made me weep every week! Thank you for bringing this special man to the show! 🎶❤
Thank you for this special episode
I still listen to Siddhart Khosla and the beautiful BGMs to 6 seasons
I am speechless after watching this episode. I knew the music was amazing in this show, but somehow learning the stories behind it all makes it that much more profound. You all have the most beautiful souls. Thank you so much for sharing yourselves and your stories, and thank you so much for introducing us to Sid Kholsa like this. ❤
OMG I thought I was obsessed with This is Us music and now you hit me with this?! I can't get enough of Siddharta give us moooorreeee
Such a good episode! ❤ Love Sid Khosla’s work.
I will forever be grateful for this show and literally every single person who worked on this outsanding project. From episode 1 I felt the emotional part that the music held in the show. Forever amazed by the work!
Such an amazing and moving episode...hearing more about the stories of the show creators and how they are woven throughout...the depth, meaning, and authenticity of this show- in the fictional stories and the real life stories- is beautiful. 💗
I'm a couple of weeks late but this is by far one of my fav rewatch episodes yet! What a wonderfully talented human being Sid is❤ Had me in tears almost the entire episode!
This was such a great episode!! I cannot wait to rewatch and listen to the music now after hearing so much more about it. The music is so powerful in the series. Thank you for all you shared about it! Hope to hear even more in future episodes. 😊
I’m crying like a baby and not even watching an episode of This Is Us! Such a special episode! Thank you so much for this!
I listened to this podcast and HAD to come back and watch the video. I never realized how much of a CORE CHARACTER the music was on This Is Us. What a great episode!!!!
I recently finished watching the series for the second time. I have LOVED the insights and deep dive of this podcast. I have to say, as much as I love every episode of the podcast so far, this is my new favorite. Getting to know the history of Dan & Sid's relationship all the way through is thrilling and fascinating. I now need to watch the series again and pay even more attention to all of the music and the connective themes. So beautiful. Thank you for providing a safe space to feel everything from gut-wrenching sadness to cleansing, tearful bliss each and every week and again and again with this podcast.
