In House M.D., which song plays during the final montage of the series finale “Everybody Dies”?

“Keep Me in Your Heart” plays during the final montage of House M.D.’s series finale, “Everybody Dies.” The song was written and recorded by Warren Zevon, whose music had already been associated with the series.

The finale uses the song as House and Wilson ride motorcycles after House has secretly faked his death. Their departure follows House’s decision to abandon his public identity so he can spend Wilson’s remaining months with him.

The choice carries particular emotional weight because Zevon died of mesothelioma in 2003. The song was released posthumously on his 2003 album The Wind, giving its lyrics and performance an added connection to mortality and farewell.

The episode title comes from a line associated with the show’s recurring reflection on death. “Keep Me in Your Heart” is sometimes confused with other songs used in House M.D., but it is the track heard over the closing montage.
