Right now, I am listening to a song called “Roslin and Adama”.
It is from the Battlestar Galactica soundtrack.
This melody is a simple waltz, inspired by traditional Celtic ballads and is as close to a “love theme” as you’re going to get on Battlestar Galactica. Most of the music on the show retains a certain stoicism and ambiguity, but this tune is unabashedly lyrical. Originally composed for gentle scenes between Laura Roslin and Bill Adama in Resurrection Ship Parts I & II, it became an obvious thematic marker for their strained and subtle relationship.
I stumble in the dark, tripping on a heart
It's gonna leave a mark, maybe we can stay and wait it out
You're the one that talks me down
And even you can't help me now Even you can't help me now
I gotta say I am currently listing to FF9 Soundtrack while I work... I tend to throw this on on days I need people to leave me alone so I can get stuff done.
I encountered this by chance in the Lovecraft Historical Society Facebook group for some reason, despite it not really having any significant relevance to that.
Anyway, I was quite stunned by it in the moment (when it builds up half way through) and I really quite like the song. I know nothing about the band or anything.
I can only use what I learn from you
And the rest I quietly accept and burn through
I can only be so much potentially
From the rest, I patiently request delivery
