Every song played on ‘The Decameron’ soundtrack

As Netflix unveils their latest historical series, The Decameron, some of the greatest moments have come from what has been appearing on the soundtrack.

Throughout its eight-episode run, the series has incorporated some of the best in rock music from decades past into the series to help tell the story, almost offering a bit of dark humour into the series’s storyline surrounding the nobility of Florence, Italy as they flee the country to escape the Black Plague.

Despite comparisons to other period dramas like Bridgerton, The Decameron frames its series as a dark comedy, taken from the short story series of the same name by Italian poet Giovanni Boccaccio.

From the dark sounds of Depeche Mode to the gentle sounds of the Zombies, this is a coherent list of every familiar tune that turns up on the black comedy series.
