American indie rock singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bird’s ‘Three White Horses‘ was played on last night’s episode of the medical drama New Amsterdam — New Amsterdam, Season 3, Episode 2, “Essential Workers” — which aired on March 9th, 2021.
The track was heard as we see Dr. Floyd beginning to work on a solution to save Kapoor’s life.
Andrew Bird’s ‘Three White Horses‘ is a track from the artist’s seventh studio album Hands of Glory, which was released in 2012 via the Mom+Pop Records label.
Along with its appearance on New Amsterdam, the song has also been licensed for play on hit series like The Astronaut Wives Club and This Is Us.
‘Three White Horses‘ is not the first, nor likely the last, song Andrew Bird has had featured on TV series either.
