| A delightful score to match an equally imaginative show |

In this unprecedented blend of romance, police-procedural and high-concept fantasy, director Barry Sonnenfeld (Men In Black, Get Shorty, The Addams Family) and writer-producer Bryan Fuller (Heroes, Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me) created a love story about a young man with a very special gift -- the ability to return a dead person back to life, briefly, with just a simple touch.
The score, by Jim Dooley, is often compared to Danny Elfman's music, a comparison that Dooley doesn't accept at all. Dooley actually compares his music with that of the film Amelie. The music is played by a traditional symphony orchestra with a choir, an accordion, a harpsichord, a banjo, a piano, a synthesizer and oriental instruments.
The main theme, a waltz that often plays under scenes featuring Ned and Chuck, and can be heard throughout the entire soundtrack. Several songs have unique instruments and sounds in them in relation to the current episode, such as Bittersweets (squeaking toy and a jewelry box tune), Happy Halloween (haunting tune), Institution Omnibus (Chinese theme), Victor Narrowmore (typewriter noises), and Change Of Heart (Christmas music). Overall, a one-of-a-kind, amazing score!
