You're going to need tissues to listen to this one.
If you've finished 13 Reasons Why season two, you're probably wondering about the song in the season finale in the scene at the dance. Well, you've definitely heard it before if you watched the first season.
If you cast your mind back to episode 5 of season one, you'll remember the other emotional scene involving Hannah and Clay at the Winter Formal. After some hesitation, Clay and Hannah meet on the dance floor. At first they try to shake off their nervousness by throwing their dorkiest dance moves but then a slower song comes on and they move in closer together. And just as it looks like they're about to kiss, Hannah notices Jessica is drunk and being taken advantage of by Justin and his friends. She goes to rescue her, sacrificing her chance to finally kiss Clay.
It's a great scene and the song choice is literally perfect. So what's the name of the track? It's called 'The Night We Met' by Lord Huron. And it's the same song that plays in the dance scene in the finale for season two too.

The song peak at no.84 on the charts. That might not seem that high on the charts but considering it's an album track from a record they put out two years ago prior to the first season of 13RW, it's actually quite impressive. It goes to show how much influence Netflix could have on the future of music sales and streaming.
