I'm not sure if this belongs here. If not, I'm sorry. But does anyone know the name of the Johnny Cash song played throught the season finale?

From Erica in the 2-part season finale thread:


The Man Comes Around - Johnny Cash

Opening Introduction (Spoken part)

And I heard as it were the noise of thunder
One of the four beasts saying come and see and I saw
And behold a white horse
Song
There's a man going around taking names and he decides
Who to free and who to blame every body won't be treated
Quite the same there will be a golden ladder reaching down
When the man comes around

The hairs on your arm will stand up at the terror in each
Sip and each sup will you partake of that last offered cup
Or disappear into the potter's ground
When the man comes around
CHOURS
Hear the trumpets hear the pipers one hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to a big kettledrum
Voices calling and voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
Its alpha and omegas kingdom come
And the whirlwind is in the thorn trees
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn trees
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
Till Armageddon no shalam no shalom

Then the father hen will call his chicken's home
The wise man will bow down before the thorn and at his feet
They will cast the golden crowns
When the man comes around

Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still
Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still
Listen to the words long written down
When the man comes around
CHOURS
Hear the trumpets hear the pipers one hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to a big kettledrum
Voices calling and voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
Its alpha and omegas kingdom come
And the whirlwind is in the thorn trees
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn trees
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
In measured hundred weight and penny pound
When the man comes around
Close (Spoken part)
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
And I looked and behold, a pale horse
And it's name it said on him was Death
And Hell followed with him.

Thanks a bunch Derek!!!

Welcome, but Erika had it up first.

It was also in the opening of the remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD.

Speaking of music, I hope they put out a soundtrack CD. I love the score for this show.

I'll second that. Bear Mcreary is amazing.

Sarah’s theme has two personalities because Sarah has two personalities. A part of her is a bad-ass, stoic warrior preparing for the apocalypse (represented by the A section). And another part of her is a loving mother who yearns for a normal, domestic life with her family (represented most by the B section).

I don’t consistently correspond the obvious theme with a scene, however. Sometimes the uplifting B section is featured in a vicious action scene, reminding us that these are still real people, a real family at stake. And, the melancholy A section will frequently underscore a happy moment between Sarah and John, lending a sense of darkness to the scene.

I love that he does that -- score a scene with music that you wouldn't expect. It really adds another element to the story. And Sarah's theme is so hauntingly beautiful... I can't wait to get this soundtrack!
