Yearlong Song Challenge, Day 36: Bob

Prompt: "A song with exactly thirteen characters in its title"

Selected by Bob


"Blackbird Song"
Lee DeWyze
The Walking Dead: AMC Original Soundtrack, Vol. 2, 2014

Remember The Walking Dead? Well, I was there from the beginning. I wasn't one of the "fans" that started watching it because it the number one show on TV at the time. I was sick the day it premiered, I was watching Halloween on AMC all day (on Halloween day), and every commercial was for this new show "The Walking Dead". I figure, what the hell, I'll watch it. I still think it was one of the best pilot episodes to ever air for any show. It was ok for a few seasons, but I tapped out after like Season 6 or 7. It got boring, repetitive, and the acting just took a shit. Everyone was so obsessed with it. Now there's like an entire universe that goes along with it.

I've always had a thing for songs in TV shows. They do a great job picking great tunes for ends of episodes or seasons or whatever. This particular song has a badass ending. The violin at the end gives me the chills. I wish I still played the violin sometimes.
