The Last of Us was released by Naughty Dog in 2013 for PlayStation 3, following Joel and Ellie across a post-apocalyptic United States. Argentine composer Gustavo Santaolalla wrote the score, his first for a video game, using ronroco, banjo and detuned guitars recorded with minimal orchestration. The main theme became the franchise signature across the sequel, remasters and the HBO television adaptation that premiered in 2023 and kept Santaolalla's music. Online, fans attach the melody to survival stories, character deaths and quiet endings, where it is recognised from its first few notes.

The Last of Us theme is Gustavo Santaolalla's haunting solo guitar melody from the game and HBO series, used for emotional and cinematic moments.
This clip is the main theme from The Last of Us, a sparse melody played on a ronroco and guitar with long, echoing notes and a lot of silence between them. It is slow, quiet and melancholic rather than dramatic, built around a simple repeating motif that feels lonely and unresolved. There are no voices, drums or big swells, just the dry plucked strings fading into reverb. That restraint is what makes it powerful in edits, instantly signalling loss, memory and survival, and turning an ordinary scene into something reflective and heavy without needing any dialogue or explanation at all.
