Carry On My Wayward Son Supernatural Finale

Okay, let's talk about the Supernatural finale and the song that practically *is* Supernatural: Carry On Wayward Son! You know, that song you can’t help but belt out in your car, even if you only know half the lyrics. We've all been there.

Seriously, that song is like the official anthem for dealing with family drama, demon-hunting, and existential dread. It's basically the "We Are the Champions" of monster slaying.

The Epic Soundtrack of Saving the World

Think about it: every season finale (or close to it) had that epic montage set to Carry On Wayward Son. Seeing Sam and Dean, always a little bruised, battling the forces of darkness. It’s enough to make you tear up even if you're just chopping onions!

It's the TV equivalent of your mom yelling your full name; you know something serious is about to happen. And usually, it involved angels falling from the sky, demons wreaking havoc, or one of the Winchester brothers making a really, *really* bad decision.

More Than Just a Song

Carry On Wayward Son became more than just a song; it was a character in itself. It’s like that friend you can always count on to be there, even when things are looking super grim.

Remember how many times that song played as the Winchesters faced insurmountable odds? You knew, deep down, that even if things got *really* hairy, that song meant they’d find a way. Maybe. Possibly. Probably involving a lot of explosions.

And let's be real, the lyrics are perfect. "Masquerading as a man with a reason, my charade is the event of the season." Who hasn't felt like that at least once in their life? Okay, maybe not the demon-hunting part. (Unless…?).

The Finale: A Fitting Farewell?

So, the finale. Opinions were, let's say, *diverse*. Some loved it, some… less so. But one thing almost everyone agreed on? Carry On Wayward Son hit hard. Really hard.

Hearing that iconic riff, knowing it was the *last* time we'd hear it in that context, was emotional. It was like saying goodbye to an old friend, a constant companion through years of monster-of-the-week episodes and apocalyptic showdowns.

It signaled the end of an era. An era where two brothers saved the world, countless times, all while rocking some serious flannel and driving a classic Impala. All set to the greatest arena rock anthem of monster hunting.

Was It Enough?

Did the song make the ending perfect? Maybe not for everyone. But it did provide a sense of closure, a reminder of everything the Winchesters fought for. It was a nod to the fans, a thank you for sticking around for the crazy ride.

It’s a reminder of the power of family (chosen or otherwise), the importance of fighting for what you believe in, and the fact that you can always find strength in a killer guitar solo.

So next time you hear Carry On Wayward Son, don’t just sing along. Think about Sam and Dean, the sacrifices they made, and the sheer awesomeness of a show that made demon-hunting a family business. And maybe, just maybe, crank it up to eleven.

Because honestly, who are we kidding? You were *already* going to crank it up to eleven!
