The London-based composer shares how she drew upon her own experience in Going from child to adult to write music to represent the series' lead character. She also reveals some of the musical details behind some of the most dramatically intense moments of the series and score. Finally, Carly Paradis shares how the deeply personal and powerful song, "The Innocents," sung by the Norwegian artist "EERA." evolved into a last minute powerhouse and came to represent the core essence of the 8 episode season.
