True Blood Season 2 Possible Title Song: Ep. 9 " I Will Rise Up"

** Wow, this is a great song!

This is exciting ! We now (might) know the titles of the first 10 episodes of True Blood for Season 2.

Now the one thing we know about True Blood is that the episode names come from the a song used in in the soundtrack of that episode and that it is somehow significant to that episode.

So far for Season 2 we have :
Episode 2.01 - Nothing but the Blood
Episode 2.02 - Keep this Party Going
Episode 2.03 - Changed to Scratches from Scratch My Back
Episode 2.04 - Changed to Shake and Fingerpop from Let's Take a Trip Together
Episode 2.05 - Never let me go
Episode 2.06 - Friend is a Four Letter Word
Episode 2.07 - Release me
Episode 2.08 - Timebomb

All we know about Season 2 spoilers, casting calls etc. can be found here
All Season 2 videos ( including my great slide shows) here

We know that Alan Ball and the amazing Gary Calamar put great effort into musically curating True Blood !
Episode 2.09 - I Will Rise Up, this is only my guess, I just research the various songs with the leaked title and come up with a song I think it might be.

'I Will Rise Up' just has to the the Lyle Lovett song. 'I Will Rise/Ain't No More Cane' comes for the August 2007 album " It's not big it's Large "
Lovett was born in the unincorporated area of Klein, Harris County (suburban Houston), Texas. Lovett attended Texas A&M University, where he studied German and journalism. ( HE IS AN AGGIE!)

The title is a play on the name Lovett has given to his touring band since 1988. Lovett explains the title in an interview: "We've always done arrangements that border on blues music, that border on jazz arrangements, that border on what folks might think of as 'big band', but we don't really play big band music. But we've always had a lot of people in the band so that's why I call the band the 'Large Band' and not the 'Big Band'. But invariably people refer to the band as the 'Big Band' and ... it's not big... you get the idea."

'Ain't No More Cane' is a traditional work song of the American south

Lyrics


In the darkest hour, in the dead night,
As the storm clouds gather, and the lightning strikes,
And the thunder rolls, and the cold rain blows,
The future it holds, what God only knows.

And I will rise up, and I will rise up,
Though I be a dead man, I said yes and amen.
And I will stand tall, and I will stand tall,
Until I meet my end, until I meet my end.
