The Big Picture After teasing us in trailers and posters for months, the mystery surrounding the iconic song "Everyday" by Buddy Holly in Good Omens has finally been solved. Originally intended for season 1 but later scrapped, the song makes its triumphant return in Good Omens Season 2, adding a delightful touch of mystery to the story while holding special meaning for long-time fans.
Eventually, Arnold decided to create his own original theme and sustain it the way the Buddy Holly song would have, adapting it to the end of each episode. His idea was to end the first episode “the way Queen would have done it,” end the next episode with “an angry formal string quartet,” and so on. When Neil Gaiman heard Arnold's composition, he knew they had stumbled upon something special.
Throughout the season's six episodes, "Everyday" starts to manifest in several ways. Despite his memory loss, the song seemed to be etched in Gabriel/Jim’s mind, and the archangel is frequently heard humming the song in the library. Moreover, Aziraphale learns that the jukebox at The Resurrectionist pub in Edinburgh plays only one tune: Buddy Holly's "Everyday.
Deciding that they no longer wanted to fight each other, Gabriel told Heaven he wasn't going to participate in Armageddon Part 2 and was sentenced by Metatron to have his memory erased as part of his punishment. But before they could erase it, Gabriel removed his clothes, hid his memory in a fly Beelzebub's gifted him and headed to earth in the hopes of restoring his memory and returning to his love.
