Songs that feel like Breaking Bad (2008)
A mild-mannered man's slow, intoxicating descent into pride and menace, played out under a hard desert sun with dry gallows humour and mounting dread.
- Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden: A warped, sun-scorched suburban dream turning sinister.
- Sinaloa Cowboys by Bruce Springsteen: A grim, sad ballad of poor men drawn into the meth trade for their families.
- Feel Like Going Home by Charlie Rich: A weary, sorrowful voice that suits a doomed man looking back at what he lost.
- Baby Blue by Badfinger: Its bittersweet farewell plays over the finale and sums up the tragedy of the whole story.
- Hurt by Johnny Cash: A broken, regretful reckoning from a man at the end of his road.
- Sleepwalk by Santo & Johnny: Twangy, hazy steel guitar with a dreamlike, lonely southwestern pull.
