Music

Malevolent features a variety of recurring tracks, both original score and soundtrack songs. The main themes of the show were written and performed by Harlan Guthrie.

## Original Score

All the tracks listed below were written and performed by Harlan Guthrie.

### Faroe's Song

Faroe's Song is introduced in Part One, when Arthur plays on the piano in his office. After playing it, he remembers more of the circumstances leading up to the beginning of the episode. He plays it again in Part Six, and refers to it by name when the clerk in the music shop asks him about it.

Versions of Faroe's Song can be heard throughout the show, non-diegetically, as part of the soundtrack.

### Faroe's Lullaby

Faroe's Lullaby is introduced in Season Two. It is the song that plays from Faroe's Music Box, which was a gift to her from Arthur. Arthur refers to it as "their song." In Coda, Arthur hums the song to Faroe as she sleeps, and later is teaching her how to play the first few notes of the melody on the piano. Arthur also plays this piece on the piano in Part Twenty Three, in Larson's Estate, before John is brought back. Arthur theorizes in Part Twenty Four that the song is the reason John returned with his memories, but whether or not that is true is currently unclear.

Like Faroe's Song, versions of Faroe's Waltz can be heard throughout the show, non-diegetically, as part of the soundtrack.

### Faroe's Waltz

Faroe's Waltz is introduced in Season Three. Like Faroe's Song and Faroe's Lullaby, it has been used throughout the show as part of the soundtrack.

### This Too Shall Pass

This Too Shall Pass is introduced in Season Four. Like the previous themes, it's used as part of the soundtrack.

## "You Call It Madness (But I Call It Love)"

The track "You Call It Madness (But I Call It Love) by Russ Columbo is the most played track on the Malevolent Soundtrack, occurring throughout the series.

## "Peggy Gordon"

> **ARTHUR:** And what song plays for you, Butcher?
>
> **COLLINS:** It’s always changing. But right now? It’s "Peggy Gordon."

The song "Peggy Gordon" is associated with The Butcher, Dennis Collins. It is first whistled by The Butcher as he walks down the street on his way to his meeting with Larson. He then both hears it in his head and sings it aloud during the confrontation at Daniel's house, and continues to play in Collins' head throughout the chase through the tenement.

## Other Tracks

* "Plastic Jesus" - sung by Kellin in Part 4
* "Am I Blue?" - sung by Kellin in Part 31, heard in the background when Collins calls the Larson Estate in Part 34
* "I'll See You In My Dreams" - Part 31
* "Come Easy, Go Easy Love" by Hoagy Carmichael (1931) - background music in Part 34
