Many fans are looking for the Daredevil Born Again Episode 8 ending song, which plays during an incredible plot twist. The emotional impact of the song hits at exactly the right moment, adding to the tension and the religious overtones throughout the show. The lyrics “I see the lightning flashing” ring clear from the very beginning and carries through to the credits scene with a banger of a beat. We won’t spoil the scene that this song is paired with (you can read about that here), but the track has already made many viewers attempt to find the exact version of the song, which is actually a bit difficult.
What is the “I See The Lightning Flashing” song at the end of Episode 8?
The ending song for Daredevil Born Again Episode 8 is a remix titled “J. Cole – ‘Storms Clouds Rising’ (Born Sinner Instrumental Remix) J. Cole Choir Type Beat – 2014” on YouTube. It is created by user ThatKidGoran, a hip-hop producer and beat-maker otherwise known as Goran Novakovic.
As noted by the artist, he heard a short snippet that J. Cole released for the trailer for his “Born Sinner” album and was inspired by the original sample. He says that he “had no choice but to make my own beat over it…because it’s too freaking dope!!”
While this five-minute remix was released on his YouTube channel on March 9, 2014, the original nine-minute song called “Storm Clouds Rising” was released in 1999 by Florida Mass Choir for its album “The Treasure.”
The ending credits for Episode 8 reveal that the song on the official soundtrack is called “Storms Clouds Rising, Let’s Go Home” as written by Milton Ray Biggham and performed by Florida Mass Choir (courtesy of Malaco Records).
The lyrics of the song, which includes “I see the lightning flashing / Heard the thunder roll / Storm cloud rising / Let’s go home,” fit the scene perfectly. Symbolically, storm clouds rising is a sign of impending doom, conflict, turmoil, and emotional upheaval.
