Every song on the 'Tip Toe' soundtrack

You know how some shows just click, and 'Tip Toe' is one of those. Created by Russell T Davies and directed by Peter Hoar, this miniseries explores the complex dynamic between Leo Struthers, the owner of a gay bar in Manchester, and his electrician neighbour Clive Goss. It's a wild ride, folks, with all the ups and downs of a high-stakes feud. I'm still trying to get my head around the characters, but the music? That's a whole different story. The soundtrack is by Sam Watts, who's worked on some big projects like Doctor Who and Planet Earth.

Sam Watts is the mastermind behind the 'Tip Toe' score, but he's not alone in bringing the drama to life. The show features a number of notable needle drops, including tracks by Billie Eilish and Sam Smith. I mean, can you think of a better way to set the mood than with a little Billie Eilish? Her song 'I Love You' is on episode two, in case you were wondering. The show's cast includes Alan Cumming, David Morrissey, Elizabeth Berrington, and Denise Welch, among others, all of whom bring their A-game to the drama.

Let's get to the music. Here's a breakdown of every song on the 'Tip Toe' soundtrack:

• Episode one 'Freedom Of The Night' features Sophie Ellis-Bextor with 'Wake Up', followed by 'Need Of U' from Aquaholics feat. Sayfro, and 'Unholy' by Sam Smith & Kim Petras.
• Episode two is all about Billie Eilish with 'I Love You'.
• Episode three gets a little punk-rock with 'Ever Fallen In Love' by Buzzcocks, followed by 'Like No Other' from Louis Cillian Ryan.
• Episode four is all about the club anthems, think 'The Kids Ain't Alright' by P X, 'Losing It' by FISHER, 'Dreamer' by Livin' Joy, 'To Love Your Body' by Bastien Deshayes, 'Awaken' by Paraded Summer, 'Yes Baby' by Madison Beer, and 'Not Your Girl' by Bobby Stix.
• And finally, episode five brings us 'Megalomaniac' by Sonikku, 'Feeling It All' by Maiah Manser, and 'Solitude (Felsmann + Tiley Reinterpretation)' by M83.

The music in 'Tip Toe' is on point, but what does it have to do with the drama unfolding on screen? In my opinion, the soundtrack is all about capturing the raw emotion of the characters and their relationships. The music pulses with energy, shifting from upbeat club tracks to more melancholic moments when the drama really hits home. It's like the soundtrack is another character in the show, always present but sometimes more in the background.

So, there you have it, every song on the 'Tip Toe' soundtrack. Whether you're into Billie Eilish or Sam Smith, there's something for everyone in this musical lineup. With all five episodes available to stream on Channel 4 in the UK, you've got no excuse not to dive in and experience the drama for yourself. Trust me, the music will keep you hooked, and the drama will keep you guessing.
