Curious about the songs featured in Daredevil: Born Again’s finale? Episode 9 closed out the season on April 15 with two standout tracks that bookend Matt Murdock’s final showdown. From a remixed gospel opening to a Radiohead classic in the final scene, the music choices added emotional weight to the story’s conclusion.
Here’s what songs play at the beginning and end of Daredevil: Born Again Episode 9.
Which song plays in the beginning of Daredevil: Born Again’s finale?
The finale of Daredevil: Born Again (Episode 9) opens with the Florida Mass Choir’s “Storm Cloud Rising,” a remixed version that also played during the final scene of Episode 8. The track sets a somber and intense tone as Matt Murdock prepares for his confrontation with Bullseye and Wilson Fisk.
“Storm Cloud Rising” originally featured in the 1990s gospel repertoire and is known for its dramatic vocals and layered choir arrangement. In Born Again, the remix emphasizes the spiritual and emotional tension that runs through the episode’s opening.
Later in the episode, during a tense hospital scene tied to Foggy’s murder, Buck Cashman arrives intending to kill Matt. A rendition of “Killing Me Softly with His Song” plays from nearby speakers. The music fits Buck’s disturbing plan to “kill Matthew softly.” He even brings a soft teddy bear in a Daredevil-red gift bag. The gesture contrasts sharply with his violent intent and performative politeness as a “good Christian boy.”
Which song plays at the end of Daredevil: Born Again Episode 9?
The closing scene of Episode 9 features “Everything in Its Right Place” by Radiohead. The track plays as Matt walks away from the ruins of the gala, marking the emotional resolution of his internal conflict and the fallout of his decisions across the season.
Radiohead released “Everything in Its Right Place” in 2000 as the opening track of their album Kid A. The ethereal synths and repetitive lyrics capture themes of order, chaos, and moral ambiguity. The song underscores the complicated legacy Matt Murdock leaves behind as Daredevil.
Florida Mass Choir’s “Storm Cloud Rising” and Radiohead’s track frame the finale with emotional weight. The gospel remix highlights Matt’s spiritual burden and the coming reckoning. The Radiohead song provides a haunting close to his path through betrayal, grief, and justice. These contrasting genres continue the show’s pattern of using music to reflect Matt’s dual identity.
