I was listening to My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies and an Linda Eder's version of Man of La Mancha began playing (I must say this has become one of my favorite versions of this song.)
Title: Man of La Mancha
Artist: Linda Eder
Album: My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies
Track: 9
Hear me now oh thou bleak and unbearable world
Thou art base and debauched as can be
And a knight with his banner all bravely unfurled
Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!
I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha
Destroyer of Evil am I
I will march to the sounds of the trumpets of glory
Forever to conquer or die
Hear me heathens and wizards and serpents of sin
All your dastardly doings are past
For a holy endeavor is now to begin
And virtue shall triumph at last!
I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha
A name all the world soon will know
And the wild winds of fortune will carry me onward
Oh whither so ever they blow
Whither so ever they blow
Onward, to Glory I go!
I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha
A name all the world soon will know
And the wild winds of fortune will carry me onward
Oh whither so ever they blow
Whither so ever they blow
Onward, to Glory I go!
I see two possible uses for this song:
1) A "gate" song that takes Doug to a world where he is needed or
2) A "helper" song; it starts out with winds blowing around and fading in to view as if from a distance comes
"a country squire, no longer young... bony, hollow-faced... eyes that burn with the fire of inner vision."
It's "Don Quixote de La Mancha" on his "skinny old horse" with banners unfurled, ready to do battle!
Don Quixote can be used as a serious helper for Doug or for comedy, depending upon what Bob thinks.
