#56

LOST

Composed: Michael Giacchino

This is the shortest of the themes in the top 100, and yet the music is so impactful. The theme song was intended to sound “ghostly” and to mysterious.

The short, iconic opening is often paired with a 4-note descending, somber, and reflective melody, which was first heard during the pilot’s crash aftermath.

LOST was the #1 TV Show on our previous list and its 16-second theme places at #56 on the list of TV Themes songs.
