I’ve heard this on some channels…
It’s cerebral, but perhaps too sentimental – too pleasant – for what really happened, don’t you think?
While driving this made me think of the affair…
The music starting at 1:09 speaks to the sort of impending, inevitable disaster that I feel when I think, research and write about the Watts case…
Let’s hear it. What music do you associate with the Watts case?
Suggestion #1:
Suggestion #2
Suggestion #3
True Crime Rocket Science II 
Excellent question. Hows about The Doors and The End ? (Also used in apocalypse now).

Ps…..
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend
The end
Of our elaborate plans
The end
Of everything that stands
The end
No safety or surprise
The end
I’ll never look into your eyes
Again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of some stranger’s hand
In a desperate land

Can’t stop thinking about this one – how about The The – This is the day..
Well you didn’t wake up this morning ’cause you didn’t go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
The calendar on your wall is ticking the days off
You’ve been reading some old letters
You smile and think how much you’ve changed
All the money in the world couldn’t buy back those days
You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky
This is the day your life will surely change
This is the day when things fall into place
You could’ve done anything, if you’d wanted
And all your friends and family think that you’re lucky
But the side of you they’ll never see
Is when you’re left alone with the memories
That hold your life together like glue
You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky
This is the day your life will surely change
This is the day when things fall into place
This is the day your life will surely change
This is the day your life will surely change
This is the day your life will surely change

Here’s a second choice of mine – from the composer Mark Isham. You may have heard his music in the little gem of a movie called “The Majestic” in 2001 with Jim Carey. This one spoke to me regarding Watts – it has kind of a tribal drumbeat throughout, which although Watts lived in an introverted world and likely committed the murders in a silent way, a steady pounding in his head must have driven him on. Listen for yourself – “The Melancholy of Departure” by Mark Isham: (and the visuals ring true)
