Ben Nichols wrote this song long before The Walking Dead existed. This song is the intro to the series of songs that he wrote based on Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. If you haven't read it, you should.
This whole album is an awesome tribute to one of my favorite books of all time. "They were watching, out there past men's knowing, where stars are drowning and whales ferry their vast souls through the black and seamless sea".
@@danielowens9824 Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy! The titles for all of the songs on the album are references to specific passages and characters. The lyrics of this song reflect The Kid's journey throughout the book through the perspective of his adult self.
For lyric lovers In my hands, I hold the ashes In my veins, black pitch runs In my chest, a fire catches In my way, the setting sun Dark clouds gather 'round me Due northwest, the soul is bound And I will go, on ahead free There's a light yet to be found The last pale light in the west The last pale light in the west And I ask for no redemption In this cold and barren place Still I see a faint reflection And so by it, I got my way The last pale light in the west The last pale light in the west
Omg I remember this song from years ago cauz of the governor , and I've been rewatching every walking dead episode in order and just got reminded of this amazing beautiful song ;)
OMG!! I had no idea this was the brother of director Jeff Nichols! Jeff Nichols does with film what this beautiful song does to me with music. Jeff Nichols directed 3 great films (all with Michael Shannon starring) and they were great. Especially "Mud" with Matthew McConahey. This song is from TWD obviously but Ben did other great songs on his brother's films.
The song itself isn't actually from TWD. The entirety of the album is based off of the book Blood Meridian by Cormac Mcarthy. Each of the songs on the album is about one of the characters.
I hope they make a Rogger Rabit stile half real, half stuff of nightmares telling of this movie. You can't make it a straight drama because well you know, and Ben's gravely voice would be perfect for the judge and he would have to be a cartoon kind of like Spider-Man's Kingpin. And everybody including the kid could be real life caters or figures out of Red Dead Redemption, and that in itself would be kind of funny this cartoon figure plying the Judge scaring the shit out of real life portrayals.
Ben Nichols is like Uncle Lucious, The Dead South, and Macklemore. Strange company I know, but they all make you listen with your heart, rather than your ears.
+Shawn Sheehan (rationalmachines) oh sorry , must be immortal because you know all the songs that exist, for some people the undead have been the vehicle to discover good music they did not know existed. So take it easy smartass!
The only problem with this song is...... its too short
The governor s theme from the walking dead. One of my fave songs ever
One of the best episodes in my opinion.

Mine to..Song fits that scene perfectly
It looks so badass when he is just standing outside the burning building while this song plays
This isn’t “the governors theme” it’s for the blood meridian.
Told my wife that this song needs to be played at my funeral... I hold no religion to heart, this song is me!
This is amazing.
Hello, governor!
XD
YOU WILL GO BACK OUT THERE AND TAKE BACK WHATS YOURS
YOU WILL KILLTHEM ALL
Respect him Y'all he's been shot in the head

Drink a bottle of whiskey and eat an ashtray each day. Then you'll get the voice :-) Nice song, love it.
Tried this... it cut my mouth to pieces, I recommend eating the ash and not the tray

Done
@@Ze-Germanzuk No, you do both. Make sure cigarettes are lit yet.
For lyric lovers
In my hands, I hold the ashes
In my veins, black pitch runs
In my chest, a fire catches
In my way, the setting sun
Dark clouds gather 'round me
Due northwest, the soul is bound
And I will go, on ahead free
There's a light yet to be found
The last pale light in the west
The last pale light in the west
And I ask for no redemption
In this cold and barren place
Still I see a faint reflection
And so by it, I got my way
The last pale light in the west
The last pale light in the west
Ben Nichols wrote this e.p. based on his reading of the novel "Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.
