Sylvie in Loki 2x02 "Breaking Brad"

What Song Plays at the End of Marvel’s Loki Season 2, Episode 2

Musical choices are always a topic of much interest in MCU shows, and the second episode of Loki Season 2 was no exception to this rule. The episode ends with Sylvie outside the McDonaldā€™s she works at, in 1982 Broxton, Oklahoma. Sheā€™s sitting on top of her car and, after saying goodbye to her manager, Jack, and making sure his mom is picking him up from work, as one does, Sylvie just stays there, holding a mysterious device and contemplating time and the universe. Then, she looks out into the distance, and the song that has been playing in the background since the beginning of the scene starts picking up. As the credits roll, the song continues to play and for music fans, itā€™s pretty easy to place exactly what song it is and what we’re supposed to infer from it. If you’re wondering what the song is that plays at the end of Loki Season 2, Episode 2, “Breaking Brad,” here’s the answer.

Janis Joplinā€™s ā€œKozmic Bluesā€ Is the Song Playing at the End of Loki Season 2, Episode 2

Loki season 2 remains a show with big ideas. It is undeniably pulpy and silly ā€” and, to be frank, more consistently fun than any of the other MCU streaming projects. This image was used in an article about what song plays at the end of Loki Season 2, Episode 2, "Breaking Brad."

ā€œKozmic Bluesā€ is a single from Janis Joplinā€™s I Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again Mama! album, her first after departing Big Brother and the Holding Company. The song being played during a Sylvie scene is probably not a coincidence, as the lyrics, which are mostly about time and regret, seem to go really well with what sheā€™s feeling at the moment. But the song itself isnā€™t really as negative as some of the lyrics might make it seem, which perhaps is a clue at where Sylvieā€™s storyline is going in the final four episodes of Loki Season 2.

Lyrics like ā€œTime keeps moving on, Friends they turn away,ā€ and ā€œI keep moving on, but I never found out why,ā€ could be rightfully applied to Sylvieā€™s relationship with Loki. But the song isnā€™t just about people drifting apart, itā€™s also about hope and trying to see the good in situations, even if the person who is singing it always ends up coming short.

Perhaps the people behind Loki liked the vibes of this particular Janis Joplin song, or the general idea of the song and how it applies to Sylvie. Or, perhaps, thereā€™s something to be said about lyrics like ā€œI ain’t never gonna love you any better, babe, And I’m never gonna love you right, So you better take it now, right now, oh.ā€ Because if thereā€™s one thing we know about Loki Season 2 is that, no matter where this story is going, thereā€™s more of Sylvie and Loki to come.
