Just Because I'm Losing, Doesn't Mean I'm LOST

The finale of LOST (and by "finale" I mean last episode ever) airs on Sunday the 23rd of May. I have long had the idea of making use of twitter's #musicmonday trending topic to share my favourite Lost songs, and I was going to wait until next Monday to do it, but I just could not help myself, so here goes:

1) Oasis- Wonderwall. In the episode entitled "Flashes Before Your Eyes", Charlie pops up singing this song on the streets of London, and is seen by Desmond. In the episode called "Greatest Hits" Charlie is seen singing the song again. I am by no means an Oasis fanatic, but I will admit to downloading and becoming fond of several of their songs after hearing this one on Lost.

2) Joe Purdy- Wash Away. This song can be heard during a character montage at the end of the season 1 episode "Tabula Rasa". I tried several times, unsuccessfully, to download this song after hearing it on Lost, and eventually decided to use my brain (and Adobe Audition) to rip the audio straight from the episode. Score one to my brain.

3) Mama Cass Elliot- Make Your Own Kind Of Music. This is the song which is played when we first meet Desmond in "Man Of Science, Man Of Faith". Lost executive producer Damon Lindelof says that he chose this song because when he was younger his mother used to play this type of music and cry while she cleaned the house (no, I don't have a comment on that remark!).

4) Petula Clark- Downtown. At the beignning of season 3, another main character introduction takes place during a song. In "A Tale Of Two Cities", we see Juliet for the first time, trying not to cry as Petula Clark urges her to go Downtown.

5) Michael Giacchino- Win One For The Reaper. I just had to make mention of my favourite piece of Lost instrumental soundtrack music. This piece became the life and death theme song in the show. First heard in "The White Rabbit", it can be heard several times throughout the seasons, for example during Boone's death, as well as the death of the Kwons. And how did I know that Sayid wasn't really dead in "LA X"? Well, there was no life or death theme in the background, of course!
