"One Day (Netflix) 2023: A Sonic Journey Through Time

The Netflix series "One Day" for 2023 serves not only as a feast for the eyes but also an auditory odyssey, capturing the quintessence of a love story that spans across decades with its carefully selected soundtrack. Based on the much-adored novel by David Nicholls, it narrates the tale of Emma and Dexter, portrayed by Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall, and their evolving relationship from their first encounter in 1988 across a period of 20 years. The carefully chosen music plays a crucial role, not just serving as a backdrop but as a driving force in the storyline, navigating through the changing cultural scenes and the journey of the main characters over time.

The soundtrack weaves together a variety of musical epochs, with a mix of legendary tracks that crosses different styles and years. From Frankie Knuckles' soul-stirring "Your Love" to the Britpop classics like Blur's "To the End," each selected piece mirrors the series’ transitional time settings and the inner lives of its characters. It pays homage to the pivotal British music scene with the inclusion of acts like Radiohead, The Cranberries, and Portishead, accurately capturing the essence of the '90s and early 2000s.

Interestingly, the selection of music for the series doesn’t hold back from placing classical pieces side by side with modern hits, showcasing the evergreen connection between Emma and Dexter. The harmonious blend of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons: Spring" with the electronic vibes of N-Trance's "Set You Free" underscores the series' skill in navigating various musical terrains while keeping intact its narrative coherence.

"One Day" transcends being merely a series; it stands as a tribute to the influential role of music in capturing epochs, emotions, and memories. The soundtrack emerges as a standalone character, escorting the audience through the emotional peaks and valleys of the protagonists, their development, and the evolving epochs they traverse. It serves as a testament to how melodies can anchor us to specific instances, sentiments, and individuals, making "One Day" an indelible auditory journey just as much as it is a visual spectacle."
