          I also started with 9th, haven’t watched the original series yet. But I just got the first season so I’ll be watching it soon. I want to watch all of it.

    Just wait till you try to watch Charmed on a streaming channel (Pluto, Roku) and realize they changed the theme song. It’s an entirely different song.

    Side note: I’ve never seen the lyrics in writing, and always assumed that they were saying “I am the sun, I am the air.” Y’know, cause they’re magical.

      always assumed that they were saying “I am the sun, I am the air.” Y’know, cause they’re magical.

      In the original by The Smiths and the Love Spit Love cover (used in the show), the lyrics are both officially “son” and “heir”, but the way they chopped up the song for the theme, they very well could have played on those being homophones such that the “theme” lyrics actually are “sun” and “air”.

      Basically backing up the premise of the show which was balancing magic and life.

      I am the sun and the air [I'm magical]
      I am human and I need to be loved [I'm also a person with a life]
      

      At least that was always my take. Though I’d heard the original Smiths version before the show aired.

      OTOH, The Craft ALSO used the Love Spit Love cover but without chopping it up, so maybe they assumed “sun” and “air” like most of us.

    I wouldn’t say it was my favorite, but I watched all of Suits and I fucking hated that theme. I couldn’t get up quickly enough to skip it.

    Most of the songs in that show, I couldn’t stand.

    Compare that to now rewatching Samurai Champloo and I can’t get enough of this theme and all the music throughout the show. Except that one lady doing the really weird singing that sounds really off key lol

    I only listen to it once during the show itself, then skip it every subsequent time. If I liked it enough on the first listen I’ll add it to my playlist like any other song I like.
