1899 soundtrack: All the songs featured by episode

1899 is Netflix’s latest mystery thriller that you don’t want to miss. The eight-episode series follows passengers on a ship called the Kerberos at the end of the 19th century, all headed from Europe to America. Each character has their own motivations for wanting to immigrate to a new country, and their secrets are uncovered throughout the episodes.

The characters are very determined to make it to America to start their new lives, but their plans are interrupted when they find a missing ship called the Prometheus that had been reported missing for four months. When a few board the mysterious ship and find no one there but a small boy who doesn’t speak, their suspicions are heightened. What happened on the ship and where did all the people go? Tune in to find out!

But if you’re here to learn about the soundtrack behind 1899, we’ve got you covered! Each episode ends with a classic rock song, and the theme music is a cover of a familiar tune. Here’s all the music featured listed out by episode.

1899 on Netflix songs

• 1899 theme song: “White Rabbit” cover performed by Eliot Sumner
• “White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane – featured in episode 1
• “Child in Time” by Deep Purple – featured in episode 2
• “The Killing Moon” by Echo and the Bunnymen – featured in episode 3

It’s an interesting touch to feature songs from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s in a show that takes place in 1899. The soundtrack does a good job of highlighting intense and important moments but also disorienting the viewer by playing songs that won’t come out for nearly 100 more years.
