We are proud to present David Shire’s score for the television pilot Three for the Road.

The music is built around a main theme, a memorable, uplifting piece that makes its appearance throughout the pilot, and with its use of guitar featuring subtle folk elements. It’s a varied score also incorporating lounge jazz pieces, and for the more intimate moments, elaborate string writing. “Three for the Road” (1975) was an ambitious idea, a road trip as a family show, mostly shot on location throughout the US. While Bruce Broughton provided the music for the individual episodes, David Shire was contracted to score the pilot.

In addition, we also include music from “The Greatest Thing That Almost Happened” and “Daddy, I Don’t Like It Like This,” two TV movies that also deal with trauma.
