David, the music for Arrested Development is brilliant! And I am diggin’ the new variations to the main theme for season 4, with the embellishments and accentuations for each character’s episode. Congratulations on another season!
Thanks!
The variations are indeed gorgeous.
You are amazing. It’s neat to hear these unedited versions of the tracks with the vocals and such. Great work on the new season. May AD live long and prosper.
Hi David,
I love all the music you have done for arrested development. Is there anywhere to purchase it rather having to download it illegally?
Kind regards
Tom
Thanks, A soundtrack is most likely in the works.
Is there any chance that the soundtrack is still in the works? I know its been a couple of months. Also, know where I can find Franklin Come Alive?
Still in the works! We are extending songs and mixing/mastering at the moment. Thanks for waiting!
David, I love the music you’ve done on Arrested Development, but for the life of me I can’t figure out where I can buy a copy! Neither the new nor original soundtrack seem to be available. Is there a way to get them? Thank you!
who are the musicians credited in the theme song? Who is that bassist!!??
I love the Arrested Development theme…I’ve been a fan of the show since the Fox days. What was your inspiration for this one in particular? It’s so unique…yet it fits the show perfectly.
I was too late to see your recent Ask Me Anything on Reddit, but I wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed your music. You provided some great background on some of the songs— I take it hoarse voices from too much late night laughing were a common occurrence.
Do you have any particular stories around the song “Still Hanging Around”? I love that song and find it irresistibly catchy.
Thank you.
David! I love the music for AD. Will you ever release the song that goes, “When I’m down, so down – staring at the ground. Cause I’m blue – man, I’m blue. Every day we…..”
I’ve searched everywhere for that song! It’s so good! Thanks for making great music!
The song stickin around has been stuck in my head since the day I first listened to it.. Looking foreword to get the full version
You would complete my life if you released a couple of tracks:
The extended version of the End Credits theme that appears in the boat party scenes when the SEC arrives (FANTASTIC flute!)
The guitar riff that plays about a dozen times in the season 1 finale, including each of the many times Michael “decides to leave”
Thanks for producing such an awesome score! Here’s to hoping for many more seasons for you to work on in the future!
Can you put a full length mariachi instrumental of “Sound of Silence” on the soundtrack? That was one of my favorites.
Big fan of the show, and the original music is one of the things that makes it so brilliant.
It’s great to hear you’ll be releasing a soundtrack album soon, I really hope there’s a full version of “Balls in the air” on it.
That Getaway song is one of my fav. parts of the season, absolute genius.
Love all the Mark Cherry songs for the fantastic four musical! Every time I watch that episode it gets funnier and funnier. “Stomp all over your face”, “Invisible Girl” and “Fantastic 4”, all great cuts. I like how all the songs have that same synth riff to kind of make fun of Mark Cherry writes the same song over and over again. Also hilarious that the “musical” turns out to be just poor choreographed dancing to prerecorded tracks. I wonder what terribly awesome decision Tobias made to lead to that type of presentation.
Anyways, really think all the original music on the new episodes is great. Would LOVE a soundtrack. Thanks!
Hey David,
Just wanted to say thanks for the great music, is there any chance you could upload the Fantastic 4 track? Absolutely love hearing it.
If not ill just have to get the soundtrack to hear it.
Thanks
I swear to G. If you made a full version of getaway I would totally buy that IMMEDIATELY
Hi David, great music i love everything you do seriously you made the soundtrack of my life for several years already.
Especially your ukulele work! I just love that instrument.
I have the Hurwitz & co. little theme as my sms ringtone and Cri Cri – metete tete (genius pick for sit down shut up) as my phone ringtone, hard to keep my poker face on in professional contexts with this one though.
I also have the arrested development opening theme as my alarm clock to help me get up every morning and it works well.
Do you have a link for that mix of all openings from the last episode of season 4 ? I’d love to hear it without Ron Howard’s voice, see if i can put it to use somewhere ^^
Thanks for your work i don’t know if the show would be as funny without your sense of music. Hope to hear from you soon, in every way possible 😉
Hey David love the tunes, any chance you could upload the full version of Balls in the Air? your sound cloud doesn’t have the second verse, and I would love to hear the full tune!
The music for AD is just brilliant! It is such an important role in the show.
Love it love it. I am hoping to see some songs from GOB and Frank (it’s not easy being brown)
on the upcoming AD soundtrack!
Love the music in Arrested Development.
You definitely need to post Shot By Love. <3
Hey David, any chance we can get that “Man, I’m Blue” song? Please! I love that song!
David,
I have loved Arrested Development’s music for years and will continue to. Season 4 was fantastic, and the music-as with the other seasons-completely made the show.
You’ve got a lot of fans out there! I’ll add my congratulations on more great work-and thanks for what you do!
Vi David! I recently discovered the show, and I Think you have done a great Gob! (I made a pun hihi)
I wish there were mode musicians like you!
Very excited to hear a soundtrack may be in the works. I’d buy that, day 1, without hesitation.
I’d love it to include the music playing out of GOB’s boom box when he was a stripper!
Huge fan of the show and especially love your quirky score–is there any chance we can hear that bossa nova tune that plays everytime we see that shot of Buster and Lucille on the cover of “Balboa Bay Window” magazine? That’d be fantastic! Thanks for your great music!
I’m shocked no one’s requested the song in the end credits of Lindsay’s “Red Hairing” episode (season 4, episode 8), the one that starts “now I respect your liberation”. It’s masterful! Do you have it around?
Hello David! Sorry I’m a little late, but would old songs like All You Need Is Smiles be included in a future AD Soundtrack?
