Gravity Falls Main Title Theme

"Made Me Realize" is the name of the theme song of Gravity Falls by Brad Breeck. Due to it's strong similarities to another song Breeck wrote for MTV's Awkward, it is commonly mistaken for the full version of that song. It also states on Breeck's website that the 2 songs are indeed different, and not related to each other.

A demo reel of music for the show was released in 2011 by Dan Cantrell, who also composed work on The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, with singers chanting the title of the show. Neil Cicierega also made two demos These were later disposed in favor of Breeck's work.



Trivia

 * Made_me_realize_bigfoot.png quick glimpse of what appears to be Bigfoot can be seen about 15 seconds into the opening sequence.
 * It can be seen easily by going frame-by-frame, pressing the arrow keys with the video paused. Bigfoot only appears for one frame. It is in the animatic video as well, at about 21 seconds in. The timer at top left will read 22-15.
 * Towards the end of the song you hear a voice whisper, "I am still here." But play it backwards, you hear, "three letters back." This is how one solves the cryptograms at the end of each episode.
 * However, starting in Double Dipper, something else is whispered, "Switch A with Z". It is an explanation to the newer cryptogram.
 * Starting in Bottomless Pit, the whisper switches to "26 letters", a reference to the English "Gematria" style cryptogram, which uses numbers to stand for letters of the alphabet, from this episode onward.
 * The cryptogram in the song is "Stan is not what he seems".
 * The television version of the song features the whisper and a flashing scene of a journal page of 3. But the animatic version has no whisper and instead of the journal page, a six-fingered hand with the number 3 and astrological symbols all over it appears.
 * A huge statue of Paul Bunyan is seen in the beginning.
 * Two shadows shaped like balls turn in huge shadows while quickly flying past the forests before bigfoot flashes.
 * On the Gravity Falls cover there is a UFO.
