Thomas Covenant theme music...

[Matthias]

I don't know if any of you have heard of the band "Seether" but their latest album has surprising themes similar to the Chronicles. I bought the album and started listening to it while I read the books. I tell you, it sort of amplified what Covenant was feeling at the time, I promise.

Here are the lyrics to one of the songs that stuck out at me at the time. See if you can find similarities in the words to how Covenant feels at the beginning of the First Chrons...

"The Gift" by Seether

Hold me now I need to feel relief
Like I never wanted anything
I suppose I'll let this go and find a reason I'll hold on to
I'm so ashamed of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to get by

[Chorus]
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all
[/Chorus]

I can't face myself when I wake up
And look inside a mirror
I'm so ashamed of that thing
I suppose I'll let it go
Until I have something more to say for me
I'm so afraid of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to defy

*Chorus*

Hold me now I need to feel complete
Like I matter to the one I need

*Chorus*

Now I'm ashamed of this
I am so ashamed of this
Now I'm so ashamed of me
I am so ashamed of me...

cool. There is a thread for this type of stuff somewhere...

Indeed. There is a thread for everything somewhere. Ancient legends speak of the the 'Board Wipe', when the great Moderator in the Skies will come and correlate and collect all threads according to their relevance and topical matter. Then the unworthy threads shall be deleted, and the 'Board of Life' restored.

...now I don't know if I should merge these threads---this is getting too interesting! (usually, with TC music threads I get real lazy and just dump them in TC Movie Disc. )

[Matthias]

Sorry, all. Didn't know there was a specific Covenant music thread. Haven't been on for a while. My reasoning was that since it had to do with the book, I would put it in the book discussion forum.
