What's The Song
At The End Of
Westworld
Season 4
Episode 1?

THIS STORY CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR Westworld, Season 4, Episode 1, "The Auguries."
SPOILER WARNING!
The closing moments of the Season 4 premiere of “Westworld,” show that Dolores' old beau Teddy is the one protecting Christina. But the surprisingly emotional reveal is scored, in typical "Westworld" fashion, to an instrumental remix of a beloved pop anthem from 2012.
"Westworld" has always adapted modern songs into its score by instrumentalizing them to fit in with the aesthetics of the park itself. Composer Ramin Djawadi does so with a unique flair that somehow helps elevate the original track with grandeur, and the Season 4 premiere is no different.
The instrumental version swelling over the scene is of Lana Del Rey's 2012 hit "Video Games.” The song is an appropriate choice for the scene particularly if you consider the lyrics from the original song: "It's you, it's you, it's all for you, everything I do," which easily relates to Teddy's devotion to Dolores over the years.
