well i’ve been afraid of changing
Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World
Their jealousy’s spilling down
The stars must stick together
We will never be rid of these stars
But I hope they live forever
And they know just what we do
That we toss and turn at night
They’re waiting to make their moves
But the stars are out tonight
I can’t seem to face up to the facts
I’m tense and nervous and I
Can’t relax
I can’t sleep ‘cause my bed’s on fire
Don’t touch me I’m a real live wire
I don’t know why, this song always makes me feel sad…
When the DS9 opening was redone, Rick Berman said that the original conception was that the series was set at a lonely frontier outpost, but by the fourth season it was appropriate to add more ships and redo Dennis McCarthy’s theme because “we’re not lonely any more.” At the very end of the series, with the outstanding shot of the now-orphaned Jake Sisko staring out at the wormhole pulling out to the sight of the station alone in space, we’re lonely again. And so we return to a solo trumpet carrying the main Deep Space Nine theme, calling out into the void.
