Clexa Theme Commentary by Tree Adams Lyrics
[Spoken]
Track 2, Clexa. This theme is a requiem of sorts for Clarke and Lexa, their relationship and the journey that they take together. Jason and I spoke earlier on in the season about the idea of creating themes for some of the relationships in the story, as well as some of the characters. This certainly seemed to be one of the important ones.
So we begin here with a tender piece from 3.04 [The episode Watch The Throne], where Clarke is changing Lexa's bandages. Here we see the first iterations of their motif, which is a little melody that we repeat on a number of different instruments. Strings initially, harp as well, piano later.
Then we cut to the sequence where Lexa bows before Clarke at the end of 3.03 [The episode Ye Who Enter Here], which gets a bit majestic, before we segway into the tragedy of her death in that sequence in 3.07 [The episode Thirteen].
Around two minutes into the cue, we hear a piece called "I Don't Want The Next Commander", which plays beneath their exchanges as Lexa lays there dying.
And then at around 2:41, we hear the piece where Clarke and Lexa say goodbye and make love. It's obviously a tender cue, and we hear the reiteration of their theme melody, and it evolves into a sort of call-and-response cello waltz.
Then we ramp up for the action series that plays under the moments before Lexa is shot. Here we hear oud and daf and our driving, sort of high stakes percussion.
And then at about 4:30, we segway into "Lexa's Fight Is Over", which is a piece where Titus administers the last rights, and Clarke and Lexa have their final exchange. Here it becomes very emotional, sweeping and epic, and in some ways, we elude to the journey that is perhaps to come to Lexa here, in the afterlife. And of course, there is the challenges that lie ahead for Clarke, and it feels like open-ended in a sense.
Finally, we land back where we had started, with the tender version of our theme, on harp and strings, and it's just that moment of Clarke
and Lexa and their love.
