True Detective: Night Country

“Bury a Friend”

Written by : Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell

Performed: Billie Eilish

This is True Detective season four from HBO. This theme really helped me get into the show. I have not watched other seasons of True Detective after season 1 (and part of 2) but those themes do not stick out for me like this song does. Showrunner Issa López thought the lyrics of the song fit in with the overall dark themes of the show. Billie Eilish stated that the song was written about the monster beneath the bed, which turned out to be her.
