The moment at 6:51 when Ben turns the wheel is permanently burned into my memory. Such a beautifully tragic theme for a character.

He did so well in that role.

Crazy to think that he was only meant to appear in two or three episodes originally.

Ben was, in my opinion, one of the most misunderstood and complex characters in the show. The overarching theme of the descending chromatic notes really paints a picture of his life and who he was. At first, and at many times in the song, it makes the song sound sinister and evil. But as it progresses it shows that it is also beautiful, bittersweet, and much more meaningful than just simply being evil, which is pretty much how his character develops as time goes on. And at the end, the final chord just feels incomplete. Like there's more to be written. Much like how at the end of the show, he feels pretty incomplete as well. Because you know that if given more time, he would try to make up for all that he's done. But just like everyone else, he ran out of time. I feel like this really reflects on his character of how all the bad things he has done, was just him trying his best, and how one action of his, and in general, his personality, seen in different perspectives can be viewed as both bad and good. Split, is a good way to refer to him as a character, and his actions. But no matter what section of the song you hear that from, you always are given have that saddening, overwhelming feeling; something of regret. And I think Ben, out of all the characters, regrets the most out of any other character. I doubt that I will ever see a show as good as this. Not only for the show itself, but the music was nothing less than incredible. And that's saying a lot, considering that I don't usually fall in love with symphonic pieces, but this one, this one is just different.

We are seeing the series these days for the 6th time. My thoughts on Bens Theme are the same the tension brought by the cromatic descending and the release of the next armonic movement!!! i love this theme.

I love this comment. I’ve always felt something for Ben. He was such a bad guy, but then look how his father treated him, and his mother died. Then trying to fit in within the Dharma Initiative and then not initially being wanted by the Others. Then losing Alex. I mean, he did a lot of bad things, but what a great character. And his themes are some of my favourite music in the series, along with ‘There’s No Place Like Home’. I have watched Lost through about 8 times now and I absolutely love it! My favourite tv show ever. The music, the acting, the storylines. Just everything. It holds a very special place in my heart 💞🥰

Agreed. Thankfully, Hugo's comment in the afterlife suggests he did a lot of good in the world after the finale.

You are correct. However, most of the Losties we love so much also did bad things for reasons that they thought were good. Ben did bad things for reasons HE thought were good, mostly because he thought he was in charge of protecting the island. @@ShrinkingWallflower

1:37 that part has always been my favorite part i wish there was an extended mix of that part.

It really is incredible. Hearing the first 2 chords you would expect to hear the main theme of the show. But no. I has a beautiful strange twist:)

Considering Micheal emerson was only meant to have a few episodes and then eventually lasted until the end, shows how good he was. Definitely played the Ben part brilliant

This music is so strong I feel like my soul is physically teared apart while listening to it.. I mean.. there's just no words It is a pity Michael Giacchino's genius is so underrated

Honestly Ben is a terrifying character. Somehow he’s so polite (S3 final episode had me crying when he introduced himself) yet entirely unhinged

1:45 for me these notes sound so sinister yet sad likes he’s a tragic villain trying so hard to do good but will never be accepted as good so he weeps

Ben is by far my favorite character on Lost. His story is incredible and so touching, and that episode with his daughter Alex...I'll remember it for the rest of my life...
