#42: Heroes
No doubt that the creators of Stranger Things thought of every detail when writing this show, especially when it came to the soundtrack. Each song chosen to be played at any point in this series was intentional. The song choices are impeccable and very much outline and foreshadow many things that are about to happen.
In season 1, when Will’s (fake) body was recovered from the lake, the song ‘Heroes’ by Peter Gabriel, was playing. And then again in season 3, when Eleven is reading the letter left to her by Hopper, the same song comes on. Not only is it extremely gut-wrenching to watch that scene, but we find it hard to believe that ‘Heroes’ was placed twice, without a reason…
