Do you ever sit down and remember that Hannigram has its own official in-show love song

then you’re already sitting down but you sort of, sit down again

then it gets worse because you start remembering other details

it was made from scratch for the show

specifically for them

it’s the only song with lyrics you ever hear as soundtrack for a scene in all 3 seasons

it was used for the finale

at this point you’re doing several levels of sitting down

And on top of all that, it’s none other than goth legend Siouxsie Sioux herself come out of retirement to make it happen

nobody-people:

Oh, the dye
A blood red setting sun

Tell me about that Siouxsie Sioux song that played over the final scenes. How did that come about?

[Hannibal composer] Brian Reitzell knew I am a huge Siouxsie Sioux fan and have seen her in concert more times than any other artist in my life. We knew that she was a fan of the show, and we reached out to see if she’d be interested in writing a song. Essentially, she hasn’t had a single in eight years, and she said she hadn’t been inspired to write in a long time, but that Hannibal had inspired her and she would write a new song. It was an incredible honor. I told her it should be a love song between Will and Hannibal. She came back with this wonderful Bond theme of a ditty, and I just said that has to go over the finale. It was pitch-perfect. [source]
