The B52s - Roam

By popular request: over the years, MANY songs have been mentioned as seeming pertinent to our story. Some might show up in the soundtrack when the movie gets made. So, what songs do you think we should keep in mind? Each song can have its own thread in this forum, along with links to lyrics and/or YouTube files. Have fun.

The B52s - Roam

Post by natecull »

It's just been stuck in my head for the last couple weeks. For me personally as a late Gen-X it captures that brief euphoric moment at the end of the Cold War when barriers fell around the world and the realisation set in that at last you could go *anywhere* and all the old war secrets would be opened. The joy didn't last long but that promise is still there.

And again somehow it seems like a song for Linda and Morgan.

If you had an 'unusual mode of transport' - where would you go?


Boy Mercury shooting through every degree
Oh girl dancin' down those dirty and dusty trails..

Roam if you want to
Without wings, without wheels

Going on a journey, somewhere far out east
We'll find the time to show you, wonders never cease

I think you could add to this one--for the same cogent reasons you have stated--Cosmic Thing...
