Mad Men is probably the best TV show in production right now. It's something that I would recommend to anyone looking for quality TV. And I am not the only one singing praises to the show. The four golden globes it won along with the other 58 wins speak for themselves. In fact, depending on how the show will conclude, I might decree this as the best television show ever.
I discovered Mad Men following Bill Simmons' recommendations off his podcast (his current project - Grantland is also worth checking out as one of his editors tracked the fifth season of Mad Men). While the discovery of Mad Men didn't come this year, what did come was an extended hiatus between the fourth and fifth season which encouraged me to explore other ways of getting my Mad Men fix. That's how come, that this year, I've delved into the music of Mad Men and since it provides such a beautiful soundtrack, there is little surprise that I managed to score a few gems.
Welcome To My World is a song by Jim Reeves used during the fourth season of the show at a time when the whole universe seems to be crumbling down over the main characters. The song starts playing over the last scene of the episode and then is left to play over the credits.
It's a simple song, vocal line and string arrangement, coming straight out of the days of the Rat Pack crooners and I've been know to have a soft spot in my heart for this kind of music. Combined with the fact that it always makes me think of the show, I've come to react to it fondly and thus select it among the 100 defining songs of 2012, for me.
