Fan Video of the Week: Supernatural Reflections “Knocking On Heavens Door”

Once in a while I click on a fan video that immediately pulls me in. I love this song and the version from Raign is beautiful. All four main Supernatural characters appear on the video, including the emotional parts when they got through the toughest parts of their lives. The video shows either a lesson to be learned or a friend or family member that pulled them back from the ledge, but also that those who are close to you can sometimes hurt you the most. It also shows that what you do or decide has consequences, good and bad, but there is also hope. In the end, they have survived to fight again but of course not without casualities.  It is also what we are heading into in season 11.

“Knocking On Heavens Door” by Raign

Mama take this badge from me
I can’t use it anymore
It’s getting dark too dark to see
And I’m feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can’t shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin’ around
And I’m feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Feels like I’m
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Feels like I’m
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Feels like I’m
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door

Mama tell me
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Feels like I’m
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Feels like I’m
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door

The song “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” has been used many times. Raign’s version is one of them, being featured in season 2 finale of The 100 (TV series).

The original was written and sung by Bob Dylan:
“Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” is a song written and sung by Bob Dylan, for the soundtrack of the 1973 film Pat Garett and Billy the Kid. Released as a single, it reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Described by Dylan biographer Clinton Heylin as “an exercise in splendid simplicity,” the song, measured simply in terms of the number of other artists who have covered it, is one of Dylan’s most popular post-1960s compositions.

Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.

Guns N’ Roses “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”
In 1987, Guns N’ Roses started including the song in their live sets. A live version of the track was initially released on the maxi-single of “Welcome to the Jungle” the same year. They recorded a studio version in 1990 for the Days of Thunder Soundtrack, which was later slightly modified for the 1991 album Use Your Illusion II (basically discarding the responses in the second verse). Released as the fourth single from the album, it reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart as well as #12 in Australia and #1 in Ireland. Their performance of the song at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992 was used as the B-side for the single release and was also included on their Live Era: ’87–’93 album, released in 1999.
