I've been a Doctor Who addict since the start of the revival, back in the day when [hottie] Christopher Eccelston was the Ninth Doctor. And then when [even hotter] David Tennant became the Tenth Doctor, well, I just couldn't tear myself away from the series! I think he is the one that makes Doctor Who so popular these days. I love the thing between him and Rose, and everytime - no joke, everytime - I watch "Doomsday" I cry my eyes out.
So then I went online and bought all of the series' soundtracks, because the composition is pretty much awesome. Listening to the tracks, I inevitably came across the surprisingly upbeat song, written by Murray Gold, "Love Don't Roam" sung by Neil Hannon, whose voice weirdly fits the song. This song, as well as the other vocal tracks on the albums, is about Rose and the Doctor, but I love this particular song because it's so sad.
[I'm a sucker for sad and depressing things.]
It's a song about a person who is tired of travelling even though he has met many different people and seen and done some amazing things, but after everything, he is still alone in the world. Desperate for compaionship, he asks a certain girl to stay and be his constant in a world that is full of variables and is constantly changing.
Enjoy a fanvid I found through Youtube [it was the best one out there to this song]. I don't own any rights to anything in this particular post, except for my own opinion... :]
Well, I've roamed about this Earth
With just a suitcase in my hand,
And I've met some bog-eyed Joe's,
I've met the blessed, I've met the damned.
But of all the strange, strange creatures
In the air, at sea, on land,
Oh, my girl, my girl, my precious girl,
I love you, you understand.
So, reel me in, my precious girl,
Come on, take me home.
'Cause my body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam. No, no.
I have wandered, I have rambled
I have crossed this crowded sphere,
And I've seen a mass of problems
That I long to disappear.
Now, all I have's this anguished heart,
For you have vanished too.
Oh, my girl, my girl, my precious girl,
Just what is this man to do?
So, reel me in, my precious girl,
Come on, take me home.
'Cause my body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam.
Yeah, reel me in, my precious girl,
Come on, take me home.
'Cause my body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam. No, no.
Well, you took me in, you stole my heart,
I cannot roam no more.
Because love, it stays within you,
It does not wash up on a shore.
But a fighting man forgets each cut
Each knock, each bruise, each fall,
But a fighting man cannot forget
Why his love don't roam no more.
Oh, reel me in, my precious girl,
Come on, take me home.
'Cause my body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam.
Yeah, reel me in, my precious girl,
Come on, take me home.
'Cause my body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam.
Yeah, walk with me, my love, my love,
Walk tall, walk proud, walk far,
For you know my love, you are, you are,
You are my shining star.
Walk with me, oh my love,
Walk tall, walk proud, walk far.
For you know my love, you are, you are,
You are my shining star, you are.
Yeah!
Reel me in, my precious girl,
Come on, take me home.
My body's tired of travelling
