The Music Of Smallville

I just have to write down, that I love the music on Smallville. The music always sets the tone of the show. I love when they have a song playing and the characters aren't even talking to each other. You just see their emotions and listen to the music that's playing. I just love that.
I watched an old episode where Brainiac took over Lana and I loved watching the end. Lana was at the hospital just sitting in a chair because she was totally taken over by Brainiac and couldn't respond to Clark. Clark was kneeling down by her side and talking to her and he closed her eyes because he couldn't stand the glassy stare. There was an angel right next to them and then it pulled back and you saw Clark kneeling there by Lana and the angel and Chloe looking on, all while the music of Vast was playing. The song by Vast was, "One More Day" and it just made the whole scene even more heartbreaking than it was.
I've always loved that on Smallville. There have been so many great scenes like that throughout the years. Another of my favorites, was Jonathan Kent's funeral when " I Grieve" by Peter Gabriel was playing. That had to be my most favorite scene of all time on Smallville. It was the most moving and one of the most heartbreaking.
I hope that in season 9, there will be more scenes like that and more great music.
