I've always heard still waters run deep
And every smile can hide a frown
And you're no exception, I feel it in you
It makes me love you more, it makes me love you more
I hear you talk in your sleep
The words you won't speak
When you're not dreaming,
I hear the secrets you keep
the fears that run deep
That you're still concealing from me
But somehow I see
What you want revealed,
What you want revealed
I've always heard there's more than meets the eye
And I can't take my eyes off you
Ooh, and that connection that binds me to you
It tells me what you are, it tells me who you are
I hear you talk in your sleep
The words you won't speak
When you're not dreaming,
I hear the secrets you keep
the fears that run deep
That you're still concealing from me
But somehow I see
What you want revealed,
What you want revealed,
Ooh, I hear you talk in your sleep
The words you won't speak
When you're not dreaming,
I hear the secrets you keep
the fears that run deep
That you're still concealing from me
But somehow I see
What you want revealed,
What you want revealed
What You Want Revealed, by Tal Bachman.
It's amazing how many "not yet released" songs get played on the CBC. This one was on the 22 July 2006 episode of the show Fuse (which I recorded); Tal Bachman (She's So High) was asked to sing something from his upcoming album, and this is what he chose. His father Randy (of The Guess Who and BTO) played backup guitar for the song. (Yes, they have different musical styles - that's the whole point to Fuse. Tal returned the favour by playing backup guitar when Randy sang White Collar Worker - er, Taking Care of Business.)
Enough about the song - moving to the power... If Doug plays the song just before turning in for the night, he'll know upon waking the next day whatever the closest other sleeper is keeping secret, even if that sleeper is under a psi-lock, geas, or other compulsion to not reveal the information. It won't get information from an amnesiaic, though; the sleeper has to know the secret(s).
It's a love song, so there's that pesky side-effect of infatuation. Just like all the other love songs that grant him powers, the infatuation isn't permanent. However, since the song takes an entire night to work, the infatuation will last for an equivalently long time.
(I don't see Doug playing this one very often. It's something he might use on a Servant Factor victim, but not on a shipwrecked teenager...)
