EntertainmentThe Last of Us: What Songs Play in Episode 7 – And How Do They Affect the Story? The Last of Us Episode 7 Shows Ellie’s (Bella Ramsey) Past With Riley (Storm Reid)

As with both games, music is a key part of the series. The Last of Uscurrently broadcast by HBO in the first season. In the seventh episode of the production, titled “Left Behind,” we can hear some songs that affect the story, in a way, and dialogue with the present and future of the characters.

In all there are three songs, all by different artists, that appear throughout the chapter in which we learn more about the past of EllieInterpreted by Bella Ramseyespecially her relationship with riley (Storm Reid).

Perhaps the most important song on “Left Behind” it is “Take on Me,” because the song of ha-ha has a strong connection to the continuation of the original game, The Last of Us Part IIwhich will be adapted in the second season of the series.

In the scene with “Take on Me,” Ellie It is riley have fun in the abandoned mall in the quarantine zone region. It is worth remembering how the song, in The Last of Us Part IIis important in terms of Ellie with Joel It is Dina – the latter should only appear in the second year of the series.

In the final part of the episode, we can hear “I Got You Babe,” in Etta Jameswhen Ellie It is riley dance together in the store halloween. In addition, the song also appears when the two characters share their first (and last) kiss. The scene is very similar to the moment in the game when the two characters interact – and the song is the same.

People say we don’t know what love is or how to make it grow. Well I don’t know if all of this is true ’cause you got me and baby I got you,” says the lyrics, which fit perfectly with the timing of the production.

Finally, how Screen Rant reported, “Left Behind” there is a third song that is more difficult to understand, because it is a remix of “Just Like Heaven,” of The Cure. The music appears when riley turns on the shopping carousel – and it was a choice of Neil Druckmannone of the creators of the original game involved with the adaptation.

Just like the other two songs in chapter seven, “Just Like Heaven” dialogues directly with what is shown on screen, and represents very well the feelings that riley It is Ellie have for each other, far beyond friendship.

I promise I’ll run away with you.

A night you’ll never forget.
