All Along the Watchtowers - Bear McCreary

            

Bear McCreary, the man behind the music of Battlestar Galactica and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been tapped to score Capcom's upcoming third-person action game, Dark Void.

While we might not expect to hear a phenom like McCreary's wonderful, polyglot reinterpretation of "All Along the Watchtower," I can't believe I'm the only one who's imagined engaging in some intense gaming action while McCreary's space drums punctuate the staccato pacing of, say, a Viper fight or Cylon raid. Or the gaming equivalent thereof, anyway.

There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief

Businessmen they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late

All along the watchtower
princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance
a wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
the wind began to howl, yeah!
