The music for the American [[post-apocalyptic]] [[Drama (film and television)|drama]] television series ''[[The Last of Us (TV series)|The Last of Us]]'' was composed by [[Gustavo Santaolalla]] and [[David Fleming (composer)|David Fleming]]. Santaolalla composed the music for [[The Last of Us (franchise)|the video game franchise]] on which the series is based, including ''[[The Last of Us]]'' (2013) and ''[[The Last of Us Part II]]'' (2020). Several of Santaolalla's tracks from the video games were reused throughout the series; his work on the series focused on recrafting his previous work, while Fleming created original music inspired by real-world sounds within a decayed civilization.
The series features songs such as "[[Never Let Me Down Again]]" by [[Depeche Mode]] and "[[Long, Long Time]]" by [[Linda Ronstadt]], as well as covers of these songs by Jessica Mazin and [[Nick Offerman]], respectively. The 66-track soundtrack album for the first season was published by [[Milan Records]] in February 2023, featuring the work of Santaolalla, Fleming, Mazin, and Offerman, as well as Jake Staley and Juan Luqui. Critics praised the use of music throughout the series for its appropriateness and intensification of the writing. Fleming won Television Score of the Year at the [[ASCAP Screen Music Awards]], and Santaolalla was nominated for [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series|Outstanding Music Composition]] at the [[75th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards|Creative Arts Emmy Awards]].
== Production and composition ==
[[File:Gustavo Santaolalla.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.8|[[Gustavo Santaolalla]], who worked on the video games, composed the score for the television series.<ref name="Collider Santaolalla"/>]]
In March 2020, [[Gustavo Santaolalla]], who composed [[Music of The Last of Us|the music]] for the video game ''[[The Last of Us]]'' (2013) and its sequel ''[[The Last of Us Part II]]'' (2020), was announced to be returning to compose the music for [[The Last of Us (TV series)|the television adaptation]].<ref name="Collider Santaolalla"/> He said Latino viewers "will recognize touches" of his music,<ref name="EFE Santaolalla"/> and drew on his experiences in film and television, having composed the themes and some tracks for ''[[Jane the Virgin]]'' (2014–2019) and ''[[Making a Murderer]]'' (2015–2018).<ref name="EFE Santaolalla"/> Santaolalla primarily recrafted his previous work instead of creating new music, focusing on elements he found interesting.<ref name="Consequence Album"/> He treated the series as "an expansion" of the game and kept them tied to each other, not seeking to revise or correct previous work as he found it authentic.<ref name="Consequence Santaolalla"/> He enjoyed the series' natural feeling of silence and felt it helped draw in viewers emotionally;<ref name="IndieWire Interview"/> he compared his music's use of silence to jumping in [[parkour]], likening the calculations practiced before the athletes land to his measured selection of [[Musical note|notes]] before he plays them.<ref name="Guardian Santaolalla"/> Santaolalla had around 185 [[Cue (theatrical)|cues]] for the series.<ref name="Consequence Santaolalla"/>
[[David Fleming (composer)|David Fleming]] co-composed the score; his work was inspired by real-world sounds within a decayed civilization.<ref name="Pitchfork Album"/> Fleming largely worked on action-heavy music for the series, such as a large action sequence in [[Endure and Survive|the fifth episode]]. Like Santaolalla, he wanted to keep his score minimalistic and exercised restraint to match series co-creator [[Craig Mazin]]'s goal of "having the viewer feel that they're part of the scene rather than be observing the scene".<ref name="IndieWire Interview"/> He selected specific instruments that paired appropriately with Santaolalla's work; rather than using a generic [[drum]], he wanted one with "personality, whether it be a rusty barrel or like cracking wood or bowing, rusty metal".<ref name="IndieWire Interview"/>
Series editor Timothy A. Good used Santaolalla's game score as [[temp music]] during editing and found it influenced his decisions.<ref name="HEM Good"/>{{rp|at=50:59}} Several songs from the games were reused to evoke particular emotions, such as "All Gone" in [[Kin (The Last of Us)|the sixth episode]] to remind viewers of Sarah's death.<ref name="Podcast 6"/>{{rp|at=25:25}} For [[Look for the Light|the ninth episode]], the music reflects the sadness of the action sequence;<ref name="Podcast 9"/>{{rp|at=49:46}} Mazin attempted several variations of music for the sequence, including dark and action-heavy tracks, but ultimately chose Santaolalla's "saddest" music from the game as the emotions were ultimately the same despite their usage within different contexts.<ref name="Podcast 9"/>{{rp|at=52:05}}
The final scene and credits of [[When You're Lost in the Darkness|the first episode]] feature the song "[[Never Let Me Down Again]]" by [[Depeche Mode]],<ref name="GamesRadar Song"/> which Mazin chose due to its blend of upbeat sounds and dark lyrics. He felt its title referred to the relationship between [[Joel (The Last of Us)|Joel]] and [[Ellie (The Last of Us)|Ellie]].<ref name="Podcast 1"/>{{rp|at=40:25}} The song topped two [[Billboard charts|''Billboard'' charts]] after the broadcast of the first episode.<ref name="Billboard Depeche"/> It returned in the sixth episode, performed by Mazin's daughter Jessica, to demonstrate Ellie feeling let down by Joel.<ref name="Mashable Music 6"/><ref name="SlashFilm Music 6"/> [[Long, Long Time (The Last of Us)|The third episode]] uses "[[Long, Long Time]]" by [[Linda Ronstadt]], which exhibits themes of unfulfilled love and how time heals wounds, echoing Bill and Frank's relationship.<ref name="Time Ronstadt"/> Streams of the song increased significantly following the episode's broadcast; several outlets compared it to the 2022 resurgence of [[Kate Bush]]'s "[[Running Up That Hill]]" after its use in [[Stranger Things season 4|the fourth season]] of ''[[Stranger Things]]''.<ref name="Deadline Ronstadt"/><ref name="Gizmodo Ronstadt"/><ref name="SlashFilm Ronstadt"/>
