The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Soundtrack Guide
The final season of The Umbrella Academy has landed and wow, it was an emotional roller coaster, but one thing that was a major plus was the fantastic Soundtrack. You had everything: Christmas carols to a groovy soundtrack that seemed ripped from a retro 60s, and even a bit of "Baby Shark" to add some light-hearted chaos into the madness!
You'll want to find this music for your own listening playlist because it has a little bit of something for everyone! While the ending of Season 4 was kind of a bittersweet, sad but ultimately awesome kind of bittersweet farewell, that Music sure did set the tone in each scene and kept everything so engaging!
Season 4 Soundtrack - A Wild Ride Through Genres
The soundtrack was totally one of those "only on The Umbrella Academy" kinds of mixes. Seriously, it felt like Gerard Way (you know, from My Chemical Romance - and yeah, he's the brains behind this show!) threw all the greatest tunes together with the best part being they each matched those scenes so perfectly. This time around, The Umbrella Academy’s Music was so in sync with what was happening onscreen it made for some memorable moments. There was just a crazy vibe of fun and adventure, but there were some serious heartbreak moments and, at times, some real chilling scenes too!
There was just a cool, quirky kind of style that kept everything from becoming too over-the-top serious. I mean, if you saw Viktor singing "Baby Shark" in that moment – yeah, I have a feeling it broke through that emotional bubble of grief and uncertainty in a big way! And the "Jingle Bells" playing right when things got all dark and dangerous in a totally unexpected way? Talk about good timing.
Let's Break Down the Songs - Because the Music was EVERYTHING!
Listen, if you really liked season four and were looking to create your own playlist based on the Songs from The Umbrella Academy season four - keep reading!
Because there is seriously some good stuff here - From classics like Eartha Kitt's “Santa Baby,” that set the stage for all the chaotic things that were about to unfold! It also seems like the whole music element, all those song choices – it perfectly set up what was happening for a more profound and heartfelt ending than anyone would have predicted, like hearing "I Think We’re Alone Now" in that final scene – oh, you just feel that deep in your soul.
Ready to Start a Season Four The Umbrella Academy Playlist
You might not be able to find one complete soundtrack for season four yet, but fans have already compiled some pretty incredible listening sessions that should get you in the mood.
It’s amazing what everyone comes up with, because the show definitely is one of those, “oh yeah, I remember that song – they really did use it” kind of shows, which means all that great music will be streaming everywhere!
Where Can You Listen to This Soundtrack, Though?
You'll find many Songs on Apple Music, YouTube Music, Spotify – or a ton of other services, and fans have been compiling lists all over the place.
The bad news – there isn't an official playlist from the showrunners, which is a real bummer, since the playlist really adds to the whole experience, but the best way to enjoy the songs is by using a third-party playlist, just to be on the safe side! You're guaranteed to hear a bunch of music that adds a real magical and heartfelt vibe to the show’s biggest scenes.
Music that Made the Show
If you haven't seen The Umbrella Academy, or if you were blown away by the last season’s soundtrack - get ready to be a little bit obsessed! It might sound obvious, but the music played a big part in those unforgettable moments for fans. It really made us feel what those characters were going through, which really added an emotional edge that the show's great characters wouldn't have gotten without it. Get those playlists going!
And keep an eye out for a season five, we’re not sure it will happen! And if it does, how are they going to beat this music selection?! I have no doubt that The Umbrella Academy, a show full of powerful music moments, will continue to be full of the best music as they get to release season five.
