K-Tel’s “That’s the Way of the World” by Sherry Winston in Pluribus

In Pluribus Season 1, Episode 2, Sherry Winston’s smooth rendition of “That’s the Way of the World” plays gently over the airport’s sound system as a character steps into an empty lounge, quietly undressing and discarding her worn clothes. The track’s polished, easy-listening sound perfectly mirrors the sterile calm of the setting, grounding the scene in a sense of quiet detachment.

Created by Vince Gilligan, Pluribus marks the acclaimed Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator’s return with a post-apocalyptic science fiction thriller that’s already generating major buzz. Winston’s instrumental take on the Earth, Wind & Fire classic offers a soft, reflective counterpoint to the show’s stark, high-tension world.
