Here Are All the Songs in Netflix’s ‘One Day’

Netflix’s “One Day” spans 14 episodes, examining a relationship between Dexter Mayhew (Leo Woodall) and Emma Morley (Ambika Mod) on the same day every year: July 15, or Saint Swithin’s Day. That is the day they got to know each other after they met the night before at their graduation festivities. Thus, the soundtrack of the show and their lives stretches across even more than 14 years, several countries and various stages of life. Emma sets the tone when she wants to play a record as she brings Dexter home for the night. 

Vanbur’s vocals and sonic arrangements emphasize the emotion of the series, crescendoing in the background and becoming the show’s theme of sorts. More upbeat songs by Blur, The Pixies, Starship, Cocteau Twins, The Velvet Underground and The Kinks balance the story to capture the highs and lows of life.
