The Ballad of Barry Allen

[Cover: They're Everywhere] The Boston-area band Jim’s Big Ego, has a song called “The Ballad of Barry Allen.” The song is told from the Flash’s point of view as he runs through a frozen world, saving people before they can even see him.

The band is led by singer/songwriter Jim Infantino, nephew of legendary Flash artist Carmine Infantino. Carmine did cover art for the album on which the song appears, They’re Everywhere! The album is available through the band’s website as a CD and as a digital download.

There is a fan music video, “Seems So Slow,” set to the song using clips from the animated Teen Titans, Superman and Justice League series.
