The song "Recover The Sky Of Day" by Shakkazombie, on the album "Hero the S.Z.". It was used as the ED song for Cowboy Bebop's ep13.5 "Mish-Mash Blues".

The following info is not written, but simply copy-pasted by me:
In 1998, Shinichiro Watanabe presented the idea of a new anime, named Cowboy Bebop, to TV Tokyo. TV Tokyo was known for being careful of how much questionable material they released including violence and suggestive forms. In the past year, they had also run into a few other problems. Their series Pokemon had created a great amount of bad press when an episode caused epileptic fits in people due to them sitting too close to the television and the rapidness of the changing colors. In national news, school violence had risen, with such problems as a student stabbing their teacher due to them complaining of their tardiness, and a student attempting to steal a policeman's gun.

TV Tokyo, extremely wary, told Watanabe that they would show only twelve of the Cowboy Bebop episodes. The rest would not be shown due to their violence, and the ones that they did show were also edited down. The episodes that did end up being shown were: Stray Dog Strut, Honky Tonk Women, Heavy Metal Queen, Waltz for Venus, Jamming with Edward, Ganymede Elegy, Toys in the Attic, Jupiter Jazz, Bohemian Rhapsody, My Funny Valentine, Speak Like a Child, and an extra thirteenth episode that was a montage of the previous episodes named Mish-Mash Blues. These episodes were aired from April 3, 1998 to May 26, 1998 on every Friday.

At the end of Mish-Mash Blues there was a small message:

This is not the end.
You will see the real "Cowboy Bebop" someday!

They weren't lying. On November 23, 1998, the satellite station WOWOW began showing Cowboy Bebop in all its glory. They showed all 26 episodes without any editing. Also starting on December 18, 1998, Bandai began releasing all of Cowboy Bebop on VHS, DVD, and Laserdisc.

On September 14, 1999, Pioneer began released Cowboy Bebop in the States on VHS, and then on DVD on April 4, 2000. On September 2, 2001, Cowboy Bebop began to be shown on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. However, it was also edited to suit American television standards.

The series also spawned a movie Knockin' On Heaven's Door which was released on September 1, 2001 and two manga series. The movie takes place between Episodes 23 and 24.

  • its 2012 still loving this song

  • @Brawls05 you used to many words. Here's a shorter, easily-more cliche version:

    You're gonna carry that weight.

  • soooo epic it gives me goosebumps

  • How has this not gotten more views. Spam. Spam people with this Excellence!!! ^o^

  • Aired on the episode that may have ended Cowboy Bebop, where the characters had a philosophical reflection on the states of the then-world, commenting on student violence and other such matters.

  • this rocks!

  • Here are the lyrics for the song, taken from the subs in the Mish-Mash Blues episode.

  • The sky is taken.

    Tomorrow is broken.

    A darkness that eats into hearts is born.

    Dreams are withered.

    All are uneased.

    Ah, who knows the whereabouts of the sky?

    Tell me.

    The birds, the clouds, and I

    lose a place to go.

  • The borders of the day disappear. Watches are thrown away. Towns are always grey. Climbed to the top of the roof... ...practiced flying with my imagination. Regret the loss of when I flew without fear. A siren that echoes within my body. Look at the people who gave up everything. It may happen to me tomorrow. Wealth is about to disappear. Keep down the rising tears. Don't want to open those eyes anymore. The light I saw when I closed my eyelids... I am looking for it alone. Alone.
  • The thinning outlines of truth... The fight between the threatening uneasiness and hope is even. The illusion of Tokyo can't be seen through. If you're fooled, you're lost. These old wings like long ago... ...worried and don't know that they'll work. But I embrace the dream of dancing in the air. That life has two possibilities. Ah, I'm worried about the sky and can't sleep. I can't even pretend to sleep. Not any more.
