Stranger Things, Vol. 1
Track 02: "Kids"
Significance: this original version is meant for the original party -- Mike, Lucas, Dustin, and Will; tends to play over scenes of the four of them just getting to be kids
Notable Appearances/Similarities: like bookends, "Kids" plays over the end of the d&d campaigns from the beginning and end of s1. it also plays over Dustin, Lucas, and Mike planning for their arcade adventure in the first episode of s2. as they grow older and the party expands, updated versions of the theme have appeared: "Kids Two", "Boys and Girls", and "Teens". s2's "Home" concludes with a slowed variation of the theme
