Okay, I must first make the disclaiming addmittance that I am addicted to Grey's and am therefore disgustingly biased in any judgement of the show's soundtrack; but I just couldn't go without commenting on it! I am yet to encounter a show with a more appropriate soundtrack. Appropriation is not simply in terms of lyrical content - although with song titles such as 'how to save a life', 'monster hospital' and 'this is how we operate' there is clearly no question as to lyrical aptness - but in terms of emotional content. Most of the songs feature haunting and pulling piano melodies, with gripping vocal lines that are torn with feeling and expression. 'Cosy in the rocket', by Psapp, is such a perfect choice for the theme song, as it is obscure enough that it is associated with nothing but the show, but it also fits in with the style of the rest of the soundtrack, in addition to containing lyrics that almost anyone - but in particular the show's characters - would be able to relate to. I love love love love it! Now I just have to find my Christina Yang...
p.s. when writing this post i had in fact forgot the reason and inspiration behind the subject of it, which was that mika's song 'happy ending' was such a gorgeous track to use for the preview for the "will meredith survive" episode. have a listen, its sweet as sugar. ciao
