Shirley Manson - Samson And Delilah

As I noted in my previous post, last night's season premiere of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles featured an awesome cover of "Samson And Delilah" sung by Shirley Manson.

As far as I know the song is not available commercially anywhere, so I made an mp3 of the song directly from the episode. The mp3 includes some sound effects from the episode, most of which are near the end of the song, so it's not perfect.

While looking for the song last night, I found a lot of posts from people asking when the song was going to be available. It reminds me of the situation with Bear McCreary (who also produced this song) & BT4's version of "All Along The Watchtower" from the Season 3 finale of Battlestar Galactica. The episode aired in March, but the soundtrack wasn't released until October. The wait for the official release was made easier with a ripped from the episode version of the song, which included a fair amount of dialogue. As far as I know these postings of the episode version of the song didn't induce the ire of those who made it, so I've decided to post a download link for the episode version of "Samson And Delilah" by Shirley Manson.

I will remove the link as soon as the song is commercially available, which hopefully is very soon, or as soon as I hear that it's not ok to post it here like this. Anyway, here's the download link:

Cheers for this, apparently it's meant to be on the forthcoming Sarah Connors Chronicles soundtrack album - released in October??

Thanks so very much! I couldn't figure out how to separate this song from the podcast on the website and like bala said earlier, I, too, "googled my way to your post looking for the song!" Cheers.
