Warning, spoilers. The following article will reveal the main plot elements of Dahmer: The Monster – Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s miniseries tells the story of one of America’s most notorious serial killers, complete with a compelling musical score. And among the selected works, one really stands out.
If you’ve seen the first episode of Dahmer on Netflix and want to relive the music that plays during the scene where the Milwaukee cannibal, played by Evan Peters, goes to a gay bar in search of his next prey, look no further. More!
In the sequence, after asking several men if he’s going to flirt with them, Jeffrey Dahmer decides, “Tonight, I’m a man of action,” he declares as the rousing music plays. This part is called sadness (part 1) And we will tell you about it right away.
A mix of new age dance pop music, rhythmic and addictive, with a hint of Gregorian chant in Latin and a haunting chorus in French, sadness (part 1) Is one of those tracks you’ll recognize the minute you hear it – especially if you were a teenager in the 1990s – or one of those you know the tune but not the title… we fix it.
The first single taken from the first studio album – dubbed MCMXC aD – from the German band Enigma, sadness (part 1) Released in 1990. It quickly became an international success, with the title reaching number 1 in 14 countries, including the UK, selling over 5 million copies worldwide.
In the US, the hit peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Top Dance Club Songs chart. And even after 8 full albums released over the past 3 decades, Sadness It remains one of the band’s most iconic songs.
But whoever says part 1 says part 2. Indeed, the continuation of the song, Sadness (Part II)Born in a duet with Anggun on Enigma’s 8th album, The Fall of the Rebel Angel in 2016.
Anecdotally, it is a French television program dedicated to the Marquis de Sade, known for his literary representation of libertine sexuality, that inspired the piece’s composer, Michael Creteau. During the show, the guests discussed the nature of the marquis, depraved or religious, which led Cretou to reflect on the paradox of the church and sexuality, and which created this song, which you can listen to here.
So here is a work that means a lot, and which is certainly not chosen at random, thus giving an even deeper meaning to the scene that accompanies it. In any case, the mix between the sequence, its meaning and the song is powerful and catchy, and the latter lingers in our memory. We can only wish her a great second life and the same “revival” success that Kate Bush experienced Running Up That Hill Recently thanks to Stranger Things.
Dahmer: Monster – The Jeffrey Dahmer Story is available in its entirety on Netflix.
