This Is Us Music from the Series Available

Alright, fellow This Is Us fans, the wait has been long this summer with no new episodes! Am I right? Now to hold us over until the Season Premiere on September 26, This Is Us (Music from the Series) is available on September 15th! I’m so excited about this, because music has a way of bringing back memories and evoking emotion. This Is Us Music reminded me of some of my favorite scenes from the first season! Thank you, UMe, for sponsoring this post.

This Is Us 

This Is Us is a must-watch show in my house. Even my husband keeps asking me when new episodes return! It resonates with me, because it’s a show about an imperfect family. I love watching the Pearson family through the decades. I cry during their struggles, laugh during their embarrassing and humorous moments, and cheer during their triumphs.

One of my favorites is “The Wind” by Cat Stevens. As the song plays in the show, you watch the Pearson family grow and get a glimpse into their relationships through a series of washing machines. From a couple in a laundromat to a family of 5 with an overflowing washing machine full of suds, you feel their financial struggles, their hardships, their love, their forgiveness, and their fun! Home is where the heart is, even with an overflowing washing machine (or laundry basket in my case).

Another favorite is “This Is Us Score Suite” by Siddhartha Khosla. He a musical genius, and this is the heart of This Is Us. Everytime I hear the score, it gives me goosebumps. Not only does the show start with some of the music, but sometimes it ends with it, too. One of my all-time favorite scenes is from Episode 15, when Randall has an anxiety attack and Kevin leaves his play to be with him. It wrecked me!!

This episode brought light to anxiety and panic attacks. Slow clap. So many friends and family members suffer from this and as the stress kept piling up on Randall, he finally broke. Even with a sometimes complicated brotherly relationship, Kevin made the sacrifice to be with him when he recognized what was happening. This is love. This is us.
