Anyone know the latest Voyager status? I've hear rumors, but I'm wondering if anyone has anything more concrete (I won't share the rumors, as I really don't know much about it, so...)

It's not merely a song about Benson, AZ. It's the somewhat improbable theme song of the John Carpenter student film-cum-cult-classic, Dark Star. It's a country-and-western song in format, but the lyric is about a lonely guy, flying through interstellar space at relativistic speeds, and thinking of everything -- and one special person -- he left behind.
If I can recall the words... A million suns shine down, But I see only one. When I think I'm over you, I find I've just begun. The years move faster than the days, There's no warmth in the light. How I miss those desert skies, Your cool touch in the night. CHORUS: Benson, Arizona, blew warm wind through your hair. My body flies the galaxy, my heart longs to be there. Benson, Arizona, the same stars in the sky, But they seemed so much kinder when we watched them, you and I. Now the years pull us apart, I'm young and now you're old. But you're still in my heart, And the memory won't grow cold. I dream of times and spaces I left far behind, Where we spent our last few days, Benson's on my mind. (CHORUS) -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

If I can recall the words... Thanks for posting the lyrics. Your memory is much better than mine. I could only recall the chorus and even missed some of the words there, but remembered the feeling of flying thru space alone and leaving someone behind. Over-anthromorphising Voyager here. Crikey, maybe that's where ST:TMP came from. |
