Netflix’s Kaos has an amazing soundtrack, and one track definitely stands out: Eurydice, the love song by Orpheus, let’s discover it.
There are many reasons why you don’t want to miss Kaos, the 2024 series on Netflix: it’s one of those top-level productions that never fail to meet your expectations; the story is particularly fascinating, representing a modern reinterpretation of the ancient Greek Mythology; the thrill keeps you on your toes all the time, while you watch the Gods trying to defy the prophecy that predicts their fall; the cast, the photography… everything was made with great attention to details.
And then there is the soundtrack: a unique mix of classic and modern hits, mostly centered on rock music and all its popular derivations. Among names like Dire Straits, David Bowie, Anna Calvi, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Siouxsie & The Banshees, and Fatboy Slim, there is a song that returns regularly in the plot as an important symbol of Orpheus’ love for Eurydice: it’s the track he sings at his concert right before finding out about her death. It’s an original composition created for the TV show, it’s called “Eurydice,” and you can listen to it in full streaming below from Netflix’s official soundtrack channel.
The song Eurydice was specifically written for Kaos by Dan Smith, the English singer known as the founder of Bastille. It’s a powerful love song, expressing the incredible connection between Orpheus and Eurydice, a love that becomes a physical need, like the air you need to survive. In Netflix’s Kaos, actor Killian Scott interprets it like an absolute rockstar, portraying the musical talent that identifies Orpheus. After all, the story of Orpheus and Eurydice comes directly from Greek Mythology, and Orpheus’ extraordinary abilities are part of his character. You can find out everything in the article below.
Eurydice is a powerful example of how a soundtrack can level up a TV production like Kaos: the Internet is full of people who want to listen to that song again, hoping for an official release on all streaming platforms. For whoever needs it, the song is also on Spotify. You can find the full lyrics below, so you can fully appreciate the track:
Every hour, every aching moment, oh
We are bound, bound for Asphodel, woah
Hand in hand, pull me through the river, I
Mouth to mouth like we’re lung-to-lung
Is it a little too much
Breathin’ the air from your lungs?
Is it a little bit much
Under the weight of this love?
But I, I, I
I wanna breathe your every breath
Be the truth and be the myth
Through the days and through the nights
Through the bitter life, oh, I
‘Cause you’re my life and you’re my death
You score the music in my hеad
Through the days and through the nights
Through the bittеr life, oh
Through the fires and the wildest moments, oh-woah
I’ll be wrapped up in thoughts of you, uh
Is it a little bit rough
Under the weight of this love?
Is it a little too much
Breathin’ the air from your lungs?
But I, I, I
I wanna breathe your every breath
Be the truth and be the myth
Through the days and through the nights
Through the bitter life, oh, I
‘Cause you’re my life and you’re my death
You score the music in my head
Through the days and through the nights
Through the bitter life, oh
I, I, I
I wanna breathe your every breath
Be the truth and be the myth
Through the days and through the nights
Through the bitter life, oh, I
I wanna breathe your every breath
Be the truth and be the myth
Through the days and through the nights
Through the bitter life, oh, I
‘Cause you’re my life and you’re my death
You score the music in my head
Through the days and through the nights
Through the bitter life, oh
