Yea, that makes more sense. Maybe that's what the reveal will be, his actual name on an album cover.

 

Shock twist of the season! Oh, Angela Kang, you've done it again!

 

All Beta's songs so far seem to be remixes of Emily Kinney's song The Turtle and the Monkey.


"The Turtle And The Monkey"

I'm a lamb if you love me, but a lion if you poke
And if we're gonna be laughin' I would like to be in on the joke
Sometimes I think you show me scabs just to tempt me to tear 'em away
Makin' me draw blood, will never make me want to stay

Oh, it's sad but true, love is never enough
And after just a few months we are not immune
Oh, we used to stay up late starin' in each other's eyes
Now I'm wakin' early to call you up and apologize

I'm a turtle in the woods stickin' to my path
You're like a monkey in the trees jumpin' from branch to branch
I love the way you move, I love the way you Rock n' Roll
But high jumpin' for a turtle is bound to take it's toll

Oh, it's sad but true, love is never enough
And after just a few months we are not immune
Oh, we used to stay up late starin' in each other's eyes
Now I'm wakin' early to call you up and apologize

And oh oh, it's a cold hard fact
We've served some colorful vocabulary, baby, that we can't take back
And oh oh, we used to hold each other tight under the sparkling trees
And oh oh, now you're beggin' for me back on your scraped up knees
And oh, oh, we used to spend all night starin' in each other's eyes
Now I'm wakin' early to call you up and apologize

 

"It was one of the things that the writers and I were trying to get to this emotional catharsis of him ripping off his mask and sort of revisiting the life, silently, that he had before the apocalypse," Hurst said. "And so the writer [Channing Powell] wanted to hit it from a lot of different angles, and so they decided to just write this little note that was an ambiguous, nuanced sort of suicide note that this person who was holed up in this hotel decided to write, right before they shot themselves."

I understood the scene as Alpha telling him to go there - so I thought we had to understand something from their past happened there, but it seems not.

Also:

Hurst also unmasked Beta's tragic origin story not revealed in the show, explaining why a traumatized Beta keeps his face hidden at all times. On Talking Dead, pre-apocalypse Beta was described in-universe as "the most prolific recording artist of our lifetime" and a "true American genius."

Oh dear...

I'm thinking that if this was a superfan's place, and those few words on the paper affected Beta like that, they might have been a lyric in one of his songs.

 

That’s what I thought.

 

It's like we're...
