6. This Is Us Soundtrack
It took all of three seconds for This Is Us to become NBC’s breakout hit when it debuted in September 2016. Somehow it’s already been a year, and the show has only gained support. Though fans are still waiting to find out what truly happened to Jack Pearson, there’s been plenty of happy moments along the way.
So, as the holiday approaches, there’s plenty of gifts for a This Is Us fan. There’s the Steelers’ Terrible Towel, as worn by Jack in the show’s pilot, but it can be hard to break team loyalty. The real key to a This Is Us fan’s heart (and tear ducts) is through the music.
In each episode, the story of the Pearsons is only elevated by the music. That’s all thanks to Siddhartha Khosla, the show’s composer. Whether it’s a soft cover of a pop song or just a simple orchestral piece, he always finds a way to hit home.
Thankfully, NBC knew after season one how popular his music was, and put out the This Is Us soundtrack. For Khosla, one of the most memorable pieces of music to write was the theme that underscored Kate’s breakthrough while at camp. But with the show building to reveal Jack’s death in season two, more incredible music is surely on the way.
Through Target, fans get more than just the music. Their exclusive package includes the soundtrack, along with a 48-page magazine with behind-the scenes-photos and interviews, as well as a collectible 16-word magnet set.
Like the show, gifting this package might cause tears, but at least they’ll be happy tears.
