Soundtrack Songs: The Handmaid’s Tale S4 E1 Pigs & S4 E2 Nightshade

So I don’t know if you can tell but I’m a little sick of doing those SOTD posts so changing things up this week! Bring back this set of posts because the fourth season was back early this year and I’ve not comment on it yet? But I’ve been watching it again this weekend plus my old posts about those first three seasons seem to have a bit popular lately, linked here if you wanna check them out? It’s been off course, a long wait in-between seasons and I don’t know if it was as great as the earlier ones, the ending of third was pretty bloody great but then beginning of second one is still the most insane start to any tv show on the face of earth so it’s hard act to follow, you know? Longer they do it I guess, the harder it is to make it as great but off course, fourth did have shocks no-one seen coming? Maybe, some did? The finale was most definitive worth the wait but without giving it away, if you’ve still NOT seen it yet? That’s really taken out a lot for the next fifth season but I guess, we’ll seen happens next? Who knows when that’s going to be anyway? A lot was also just setting-up for next season, thinking about it now but some did say not much did happen anymore, I don’t think that’s totally true! How much do I say here before giving away small or huge spoilers? Anyway I still enjoy it or maybe, that’s NOT the right word, if you know what I mean? They had some wicked great music in it this time around so this week is all The Handmaid’s Tale posts, sorry if you’re NOT a fan but the music pretty great! Here’s the songs in the first couple of episodes:

Opening the new fourth season was I Say a Little Prayer by Aretha Franklin:

Around midway was Ripple by Grateful Dead:

Ending with (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman by Carole King:

Second episode had Suffragette City by David Bowie:

Also had Sara Culture by Addie Pearl Rice:

To end with a quick cool quote from Nightshade episode:

June: Alma, we are not free.
Alma: Maybe this is as free as we’re going to get. Maybe we should make the best of it.

I’m going to finally give Ann Dowd as Aunt Lydia the featured image, didn’t last time was doing this and here she looking like totally shit because… sorry too hard to explain so just watch it!

Cheers! 🙂
