The Ballad of Lucy Gray Baird


The original key of "The Ballad of Lucy Gray Baird" from The Hunger Games is G minor. The song was composed by T-Bone Burnett and Suzanne Collins, the author of The Hunger Games trilogy. It is performed in the movie "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" by the actor and musician, Bryce Dessner. A trivia about the song is that it is based on the original novel "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" by Suzanne Collins, which tells the story of 18-year-old Lucy Gray Baird, a District 12 tribute in the 10th Hunger Games. The melody of the song is haunting and melancholic, with a slow tempo and somber tones, capturing the emotional journey of Lucy Gray Baird in the story.
