I LOVE DANIEL INGRAM and for me, he nailed it again in this episode. One of the main takeaways for me from "Our Town" was the nod to WWII era propaganda music. The melody seemed to seamlessly drift from a major to minor keys and then back again, making the entire song feel sort of dark and forebodingly creepy. I would almost guess that certain parts of the song (or the whole thing) were in a different mode (i.e. mixolydian or something of the sort for anyone else out there who is musically inclined. If anybody can confirm this and wants to PM me I would love to discuss this further) Honestly, it's not really a song I would probably listen to all day every day to rock out to in my car like "Babs Seed" but for some reason in this episode it just... works. I think that, lyrics aside, even musically it really set the tone for what was to come. Just my two cents.
If I remember right the main thing that made it kinda discordant was that it was a big peppy march done in a minor key. I need to re listen though.
