“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
I don’t hold much with mainstream music, but I’ll make an exception for this one song:
I actually came across it while binge-watching a truly brilliant crime drama series called Longmire. Now that is a GREAT show. It stars Robert Taylor as a Gary Cooper-like sheriff of a fictional county in Wyoming, along with Katee Sackhoff and occasional appearances by a chap named Peter Weller. (People of my generation and older may remember a certain film called RoboCop– no, not the atrociously bad remake, the original one made in the 80s- which starred a certain Peter Weller as the titular character.) Well worth watching if you have Netflix.
