10 Best moments of needle fall

Mandarin Dream, “Diamond Diaming”

The first of season 4 presents a stacked list of songs between “This’s the way” by Led Zeppelin and the Who’s “Getting On Tune”, but “Diamond Diary” was particularly exhilarating. This instrumental comes into play while Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) reveals that he hired the hyper-efficiency Jessica (Sarah Ramos) from Ever (Olivia Colman’s Restaurant) to rationalize the bear operations. The track weaves through the din of the kitchen: the slicing lockers, the Sharpies slam in a metal trash can, the alignment cutting boards, the sharp knives, the tricked plates, the chef Syd (Ayo Edebiri) slamming a bag of asparagus on the counter. It punctuates the rapid directives of Jessica and takes momentum in parallel with the adjustment of the team at the new rapid pace. While the first night service begins, the music inflates in a edifying section which increases the tension and carries the closing credits, playing for seven full minutes.

Bob Dylan, “most of the time”

Each track of this episode is from the 80s, including Dylan 1989 Oh Mercy Ballad, “most of the time”. He plays like Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) calls his sister Natalie, alias Sugar (Abby Elliott), to apologize for not yet meeting his newborn niece. She assumes that he calls bear cuts, but once they have erased the air, she asks how he is going. It offers little, then slowly returns the question to it. The following is a rare and sincere exchange full of calm affirmations – a moment of emotional clarity in the throat in the middle of chaos. Although the song focuses on romantic sorrow, its words perfectly echo the internal state of Carmy.

Dion, “You only know”

The dinner service is quieter now because everyone finds their stride. Carmy adds an original classic chicagoland sandwich on checkered paper so that Richie offers a surprise meal for a family celebrating the restoration of their daughter’s cancer. “You only know yourself” swells and plunges as Richie discusses with someone who can be a food critic. Later, the family comes out outside with cups of hot chocolate, where Richie orchestrates a false whimsical scene. It looks like a collective reward while Dion sings, “and you alone know where you went / You alone know what you experienced.”

Curtis Mayfield “So Amore”

This comforting episode focuses on Syd style at the home of his cousin while binding with the girl of her cousin tj. The drama of the TJ school reflects the own dilemma of Syd – whether to stay at the bear or take chief Shapiro (Adam Shapiro) to his offer to open a new restaurant. The episode ends with Syd calling Shapiro to manage documents, signaling its choice. While credits roll, “so in love” by Curtis Mayfield comes into play, its smooth and anchored heat corresponding to the quiet confidence of its decision.

Paul Simon, “Let me live in your city”

Some of the richest moments in the series occur when the characters move away from the kitchen. “Let Me Live in Your City by Paul Simon plays as Carmy rolls alone, the camera catching the underside of brightly city bridges and scenes – like seeing the world through a dirty windshield. He visits the Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio, a sequence that flirts with the territory of the travel story but ultimately brings us closer to him. Without a dialogue, Simon’s warm and conversational voices superimposing Carmy’s silent wandering makes the scene unusually intimate.

Wilco, “I’m still in love”

Chicago mainstays Wilco returns to The bear While the staff gathers around Syd, whose father is in the hospital. The FAKS (Matty Matheson, Ricky Staffieri) are trying to sneak a sniffing of Sugar Sophie’s baby, Tina is getting closer to the objective of her placing time objective, and Sommelier Balays (Corey Hendrix) launches a rationalized service solution. Midtempo’s brightness of “I’m always in love” suggests that, for once, some problems could really have fixes.

Everything except the girl, “aprons”

At almost double the usual execution, this wedding episode has a music value from a full album. But the most affecting moment occurs during a silent exchange between Syd and the Matriarch of Berzatto, Donna (Jamie Lee Curtis), underlined by everything except the “apron strings” of the girl. Of all the significant conversations of the episode, it is distinguished: intimate and possible between these two. The double sense of song – Culinary and emotional dependence – echoes their dialogue. It is an appropriate centerpiece and a clear inspiration for the title of the episode.

Sonny & Dear, “I had your baby”

This is not the first time that “I Got You Babe” surface this season. He first played in “Marmages” while Carmy woke up at Marmot day Playing on his television, with Bill Murray’s Radio Awakening by playing the song. Here, he reappears on an assembly of magnificently plated dishes, stamped “paid” invoices, lists of ingredients, clock counts and crisp products prepared in an expert manner. The sequence is brilliant and dynamic, perfectly corresponding to the playful optimism of the song.

Bruce Hornsby & The Range, “The show continues”

The cover of Eddie Vedder of “Save It for For For For Fordor” of the Eddie Vedder, presented three times in season 3. He returned to this penultimate episode, just like the “new noise” of refusal of refusal. But it is Bruce Hornsby and the range “The Show Goes On” which really draws the ropes of the heart, stressing the announcement of Sugar de Food and wineThe new “best new chef” of Marcus (Lionel Boyce) receiving this honor. After a sticky photo montage of the bear, Marcus sends SMS Food and wine Article to his father. As he strikes “send”, we are already in tears.

St. Vincent, “Soft and Slow Disco”

The 2018 Remix of “Fast Slow Disco” by St. Vincent is the only drop in needle in this tense season final. Heard for the first time in “Scallop” while Syd prepares the dish, he returns here while the closing time clock expires and plays through the credits. The chorus: “Slide my hand with your hand / Let yourself dance with a ghost” looks like a poignant reflection of Carmy preparing to leave Syd behind.
