The new Prime Video series, Daisy Jones & The Six, has been receiving a lot of hype for its music, which is integral to the show’s faux-docudrama format.
The show centres around a fictional band that rose to fame in the 1970s, thanks to the chemistry between lead singers Billy Dunne and Daisy Jones.
The actors who play the lead roles, Sam Claflin and Riley Keough, rehearsed extensively to perform the music of their band, Daisy Jones & The Six, and appear convincing as rock superstars.
Creating great songs and capturing authentic musical performances was crucial to the show, based on the book by Taylor Jenkins Reid. An album featuring the songs by the actors in Daisy Jones & The Six, called Aurora, was released on March 3. However, many viewers may be wondering about the show’s theme song, which features a woman’s vocals set against candid snapshots of the band.
he song is “Dancing Barefoot” by Patti Smith, from her 1979 album Wave. The lyrics allude to a woman overcome by her love for a man, making it a solid choice for a story like Daisy and Billy’s.
While the fictional band’s fate is not as tragic as the real-life story behind “Dancing Barefoot,” the idea of a fellow artist fueling personal and professional passion resonates throughout the song.
Though Riley Keough did not cover the song for the show’s opening credits, it has been covered by many other artists and appeared on the soundtrack to the 1994 film Threesome.
New episodes of Daisy Jones & The Six will premiere Fridays on Prime Video.
