The First I Love You

My wife and I just rewatched the first 4 seasons of Stranger Things with our son Matthew. Neither of us had watched season 4, and it was incredible.

The soundtrack of Stranger Things is the typical 80’s synth excellence we’ve come to expect from composers, Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein. “The First I Love You” is the track that resonated with me the most. It actually made it’s first appearance in Season 2 as “The First Lie”. The tune is used as Eleven and Mike navigate their budding romance.

I love the way this turned out on guitar. It’s easy to play, and flows beautifully.
