The Time Traveler’s Wife Soundtrack: Every Song in Episode 1

• “Electric Feel” by MGMT (00:40): The Time Traveler’s Wife soundtrack song plays during a bar sequence. Clare grabs a drink and shuts down the romantic advances of a male patron. She sits down in alignment with the lyric “You can feel it in your mind.” Clare senses someone standing near her and says “No” without looking at the person.
• “Shape of My Heart” by Sting (00:41): A man says that he’s been watching Clare for 10 minutes. She looks up and sees 36-year-old Henry. The Time Traveler’s Wife soundtrack song sets in as Clare tries to process the moment. She tells Henry that she missed him, and then scolds him for being “an asshole.”
• “Tell Me” by Groove Theory (00:45): Thirty-six-year-old Henry jokes about his younger self being “way hotter.” He pats Clare on the back while saying, “I fucked him, too.” The music continues as Henry leaves the bar.
