‘The Bear' season 4 soundtrack: the full tracklist for the acclaimed FX restaurant drama
Attentive fans will also be glad to see some returning sounds from previous seasons. We are talking Taylor Swift, R.E.M, and the guitar riffs of Refused's New Noise, a track that has become synonymous with The Bear.
The Emmy-winning series continues the journey of talented but tragic chef Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) as he and his staff chaotically manage to keep their Chicago restaurant running in business.
While the fancy food presented in The Bear might be hard to prepare at home, you can still sit back and listen to the show's diverse playlists.
What kind of music does The Bear season 4 use?
Season 4 continues The Bear's classic rock tendencies with Led Zeppelin's That's The Way underscoring the opening episode, a bittersweet interaction between Carmy and his late brother Mikey.
The rest of the season is peppered with tracks by The Who, Lou Reed, Paul Simon, Eddie Vedder. Just in time around the much-awaited Oasis reunion tour this July, the Manchester band's B-side single Stay Young also plays over the closing credits of episode 6.
A recurring theme in multiple episodes is I've Got You, the Sonny and Cher duet that features prominently in the Bill Murray time travel comedy Groundhog Day. From the start of this season, Carmy looks up at the film's time loop as a metaphor for his own clockwork monotony.
Nine Inch Nails' haunting piano melody Together doesn't feature again like that silent season 3 opener but the band's composer duo Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross return with the misleadingly-titled The Chill Mix. This is the instrumental that plays over a not-so-chill existential fantasy in Syd's (Ayo Edibiri) mind.
Syd's mixed reactions while meeting a potential new business partner are also underscored by Ludwig van Beethoven's classic composition Für Elise. Yes, even if Beethoven or classical music isn't your jam, this is that one classic melody you're bound to have heard in a film, show, or even a phone ringtone.
The musical highlight this season though is the star-studded eighth episode The Bears, that brings back most of Carmy's family including Jamie Lee Curtis, John Mulaney, and some new faces like Josh Hartnett. Set around the wedding of Richie's (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) ex-wife Tiffany (Gillian Jacobs), the episode boasts a 13-song mix that changes moods from Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran to Tom Petty and Weezer.
As is common with the show's soundtracks, alt-rockers R.E.M. return with their universal themes of loss and recovery. Out of the two R.E.M. songs that play, Strange Currencies marks an encore as it was last featured in season 3's penultimate episode.
But all its moody rock and breezy pop sensibilities aside, the most-featured artist in The Bear season 4 is surprisingly the '60s girl group The Ronettes. The group's vocal harmonies are sprinkled over three episodes, featuring their quintessential hits Baby, I Love You and (The Best Part of) Breakin' Up and Walking in the Rain.

Ex-NFL star Will Compton reveals truth behind viral Taylor Swift photo after backlash from popstar's fans
Former NFL star and 'MAGA' podcaster Will Compton has opened up on the viral photo with Taylor Swift which left her die-hard legion of Swifties furious last month. Swift angered her fans when she was seen hanging out with Compton and another ex-football player in Taylor Lewan - who host the 'Bussin With The Boys' podcast together - while out in Nashville with boyfriend Travis Kelce. The sight of the popstar flexing her muscles next to Compton and Lewan sparked outrage due to their association with Donald Trump, who appeared on their podcast ahead of last year's election and even gave them a shout out after winning it. Dana White also namechecked the podcast for helping propel Trump to victory over Kamala Harris, while the duo were also seen shaking hands with him at a UFC event in 2023. Given her long and bitter history with Trump, Swift hanging out with the Bussin With The Boys stars opened her up to criticism. Yet Compton claims he asked Kelce to set up the viral photo after his girlfriend's surprise performance in Nashville. He said about Taylor on his podcast: 'She came off stage from "Shake It Off" and was giving the boys some love, she was like, "I had so much fun out there" and we were like, "You crushed it." 'Taylor and I signed off, and we came back and I leaned over to Trav and was like, "Hey buddy, you know I'm not leaving this place without a pose with you and your girl.' 'He was like, "Oh I've got you,"' Compton said before recreating the flex pose. He then added: 'She was talking s*** afterwards saying she's got more muscles than us... it was a great night.' While it was Kelce who arranged the picture, Swift was heavily criticized by fans online for associating herself with fans of Trump - who recently aimed a bizarre dig at her on his Truth Social account. 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said "I hate Taylor Swift," she's no longer "HOT?"' the president wrote on the platform in an unprovoked attack earlier this year. 'The fact that she still associates with people who are MAGA when Trump himself has personally attacked her…. where the f*** is her self-respect,' one fan said about Swift's photo with Compton and Lewan. 'Imagine being rich enough to make the world a slightly better place... then actively choosing to surround yourself with these thugs instead,' another added. 'What a waste.' 'You are who you surround yourself with,' another Swiftie wrote, while one accused the singer of having 'zero self-respect.' 'When ICE is abducting people from the streets , this is who she chooses to align herself with,' they said. 'Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are,' added another. Swift and Kelce had been together in Nashville while the Kansas City Chiefs star was hosting his annual 'Tight End University' event when they crossed paths with Compton and Lewan. The Eras Tour icon even went on stage for a shock performance during the event, sending fans wild with a rendition of 'Shake It Off'.

Steven Spielberg admits 'I had consistent nightmares' after directing Jaws
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Acclaimed director Steven Spielberg cemented his status with the iconic film Jaws, but the experience left him shaken. To mark the 50th anniversary of the pioneering summer blockbuster, National Geographic is set to premiere the documentary Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story on July 11. In this introspective film, Spielberg takes viewers on a behind-the-scenes journey through the making of Jaws, utilising archival footage and personal anecdotes to recount the trials and tribulations of his career-defining project. The National Geographic documentary also features interviews with original cast members, including Lorraine Gary (Ellen Brody), Carl Gottlieb (Meadows), Jeffrey Kramer (Hendricks), and Oscar-winning composer John Williams. Despite Jaws' enduring impact on cinema, its production was marred by numerous issues. The mechanical shark frequently malfunctioned, and filming on open water proved far more challenging than expected, reports the Mirror US. (Image: Getty Images) These setbacks resulted in significant delays and budget overruns, leading Spielberg to fear that Jaws would be his final film. "It was logistically the most difficult movie I think I'll ever make," he reveals in the documentary. However, the stress didn't dissipate once filming wrapped. For years after, the renowned filmmaker was plagued by nightmares about the arduous experience. "The success was fantastic but it didn't stop the nightmares," he admits. "It didn't stop me waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat where the sheets would be soaking wet. We didn't have the word PTSD in those days. "And I had consistent nightmares about directing Jaws for years afterwards. I was still on the movie and the film was never ending." The 78-year-old star even began to slip away from his crew to release his emotions. (Image: National Geographic) He discloses: "When they brought one of the boats all the way back from Martha's Vineyard and shipped the boat, the Orca, to the Universal back lot and put it in the water right next to the Jaws ride. "I used to get in my electric cart without telling anybody, and I would sneak behind the trams, nobody could see me, and I'd just sneak on board the boat and I would sit in the cabin in that little leather red booth and I would just sit there and sometimes cry." He adds: "And I had nothing to cry about. The film was this phenomenon and I'm sitting here shedding tears, because I'm not able to divest myself of the experience. "The boat helped me to begin to forget. That Orca was my therapeutic companion for several years after Jaws came out." Elsewhere in the documentary, the director concedes that although its production was traumatising, he owes everything to Jaws. (Image: Hulton Archive) The thriller later scooped four Academy Award nominations, winning the Best Original Score, Best Film Editing and Best Sound prizes. Despite being nominated for the prestigious Best Picture award, it was Milos Forman's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest that took home the prize. While Spielberg's fans continue to debate whether he should have won the Oscar, the director himself concurs with the Academy's choice. "Oh yeah, I would've voted for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest over Jaws for Best Picture, I would've done that," he admits. Jaws, based on Peter Benchley's 1974 novel of the same title, tells the thrilling tale of a police chief, shark hunter and marine biologist who join forces to hunt down a deadly shark terrorising their small seaside town. Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story premieres Friday 11th July at 8pm on National Geographic and streams the same day on Disney+
