How dare they write such a awesome and sweet theme song and not make it easy to find?! Not even Shazam can find the name
Ok...FINALLY...weāve got the song!

Itās calledĀ āThe Future Tense of Heartbreakā by Andrew Lockington and Charles Eglee. I knew it was a song written especially for our pair!Ā
ENJOY!
P.S. I will get to the messages, just had a take a quick hiatus. Thank you all for your patience!a
It was [Sweeneyās] blood that brought you back, wasnāt it? Thereās no other explanation.

"The blood of a man that loved her", "his beautiful relationship with Laura" and "i miss seeing them on screen". Hmm I'm liking people's reaction to madwife's canon status so far
Ooh, BRAVO. I only ever check Reddit, but I havenāt been to the sub lately since my interest in the show itself has waned. But gosh, these are GREAT. I think, if anything, it speaks to the simple, straightforward beauty of their storyline. Their journey has never been weighed down by philosophical overtures and convoluted symbolism of what the gods mean and how they connect to reality or the war of the gods itself. Not that those are necessarily bad things, but I think some felt that some of those elements have made the show feel muddled at times. Sweeney/Laura was simply about a road trip between two characters who needed each other, and this structure really was just a way for them to get to know each other, possibly even fall in love (which really was just a bonus)...sometimes, you can even forget that Sweeney was a god who had a stake in the war because he just felt so human at times.Ā
All this to say that Sweeney/Laura were very relatable, and that thatās really what made them compelling, at least for me. :)
out of curiosity I went to reddit's 3x04 episode discussion. There was a lot of missing Anansi and Sweeney, understandable (i mean who doesnt). but what caught my attention was people trying to find the madwife theme song (recognizing as their song- when Laura is thinking of him) and some madwife love
I think part of that songās appeal is that it felt a bit uncharacteristic with the general tone of the show, too. The showās mostly used a darker, kinda dissonant soundtrack (remember the song used when they were having sex on the astral plane? Talk about tribal...or any number of dissonant jazz pieces theyāve used since S1), but it truly doesĀ āfitā with what the show was trying to evoke with the montage - wistful, romantic, bittersweet...I love that people are trying to find out. Last I checked, I think a reddit user had emailed/messaged Fremantle to find out. Hopefully, theyāll reply and the user will let the sub know. We need to know!!
Literally no reason to keep watching now Sweeney is really gone. Him and Laura had the best dynamic in the whole show and without that itās... well, boring. They had so much potential for development and story with these two and they really just threw it away?? Itās a real shame and Iām so disappointed.
Aww, anon...I mean, as Iāve mentioned, I do think Sweeney will beĀ āaroundā in spirit, and thatās really all I can hope for, I suppose. I do agree that they threw away that potential, especially since their storyline and characters felt more grounded than anything else on the show, but what can we do? At this point, I think itās up to Pablo, but he seems to have zero interest in returning under that particular management.Ā
I still think we got wonderful closure to their story, but I feel you in your disappointment. :/
Thatās not what it was like at all.
The official Madwife edit from american gods in an actual episode from S3
I just made myself cry š¢ why am I like this ?
So okay, I have no problem saying that, narratively speaking, they essentially HAVE to bring Sweeney back in some form (even as a voiceover) to provide structural satisfaction to Laura's/MadWife's arc now. Otherwise, it literally doesn't make any cohesive sense, from a storytelling perspective, to set it up to THIS degree and then not offer resolution. And NOT in the form of Doyle. It HAS to be Sweeney to provide that relief to both Laura and viewers. I hope they GET that and are able to do it!
Same. I really, really hope that we get *something* from Sweeney (and yes, not Doyle) at the end of this season, although Iām not sure what. So, I just saw this -- itās from this StarzĀ preview about Laura and Salimās team-up from a future ep. And as you can see, Laura is still holding onto Sweeneyās ashes.Ā
What does this mean? Nothing. LOL. I just find it really endearing that sheās still holding him close to her, protecting him and definitely has plans for him that are deserved for the guy she loves. But letās say she does do *something*, like scatters them or buries them somewhere that means something to him...Iām not saying I wanna see a ForceGhost Sweeney or anything, but like you said, his voice...or a vision? IDK, something kinda mystical or otherworldly cos, after all, this is a fantasy show about gods and the supernatural.Ā
Also, and this is totally related, but did you guys notice how, in ep 2.08, Laura is constantly bathed in sunlight throughout the episode? Observe:
Itās almost like the show is trying to tell us something. Hmm...
And how utterly sweet is this idea of them never leaving each othersā side, even when one of them is dead and gone? He shines down on her, watchful, protective...and she keeps him and what remains of him close, protecting him until she knows heās safe...
So, Iām with you, anon -- I know Sweeneyās spirit is going to be this pervasive presence until the end of season as long as Laura is around, but having something a little extra would be AMAZING. :)
Apologies my thoughts are not very cohesive this morning...
so madwife is canon right?!? I mean the love potion with sweeney's blood brought laura back to life and laura is having EMOTIONS. She is feeling something!! And it's about Sweeney!! I need more flashbacks with their theme song (omgomg they have a theme song)
Oh hell yes, theyāre canon. Absolutely. I mean, we always knew they were in love (or would fall in love), and even though their story was, due to mitigating circumstances, cut short, that episode only confirmed what we all believed, and that the series would eventually crank them up to canon status, which they did. And I liked the subtlety of how it was done, too...there were no overt proclamations of love, sentimental drama, or even shock from Lauraās end to learn that Sweeney loved her. She already knew...it was more about the struggle of HER (the more staunchly dubious of the two) to admit that she loved him too. So, yeah...itās canon, baby.
Ā Enjoy it, anon!
