Yet another gate song...

... but nothing's going to stop Doug from getting through this gate. Fire, earthquake, the Sixth Fleet... none of them can stop this gate from being used.

I like it. The question is... where does it go?

This one popped up on the radio last night, and I had a chance to hear it all the way through (the version I own is a live version, and the band in question is a jam band, so they have a tendency to go off on tangents).
"Willin'" by Little Feat
I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty, don't ya know?
And I'm still, willin'
And I was out on the road, late at night
I seen my pretty Alice in every headlight
Alice, Dallas Alice
And I've been from Tuscon to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me, weed, whites and wine
And you show me a sign
I'll be willin' to be movin'
well, I've been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/l/little-fe ... yrics.html
Had my head stoved in but I'm still on my feet
And I'm still, willin'
I smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico
Baked by the sun, every time I go to Mexico
And I'm still
An' I've been from Tuscon to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me, weed, whites and wine
An' you show me a sign
An' I'll be willin', to be movin'

If this doesn't work as a gate song, it could easily summon a semi truck (of an indeterminate make and model, since it's "every kind of rig that's ever been made") for Doug to drive. It will take him anywhere in the area laid out between Tuscon, Arizona; Tucumcari, New Mexico; Tehachapi, California; and Tonopah, Nevada (essentially across the American Southwest), by the back roads.

And another gate song... I just sent an email to DRAGONFLIGHT suggesting this be the gate song out of Mainframe, if we're serious about turning the ReBoot NanoStep into a full Stagger. If not, then it would work in any other world where Eimi takes a larger role than usual...

You won't find it by yourself
You're gonna need some help
And you won't fail with me around
Come on let's go

I will tell you if you change
And who's been saying things
It's hard to tell who is real in here
Come on let's go

You know who to turn to
Now everything's changed
Come on let's go
Stop looking for answers
In everyone's face
Come on let's go

What's the point in wasting time
On people that you'll never know
Come on let's go

When you're looking for a friend
But it's empty at the end
When everybody's disappeared
You won't be alone

If you want I'll compensate
If you over estimate
So there's nothing left to fear
You won't be alone

You know who to turn to
Now everything's changed
Come on let's go
Stop looking for answers
In everyone's face
Come on let's go

What's the point in wasting time
On people that you'll never know
Come on let's go

Well, I'll certainly hold back on possibly using it -- it could be a good teleport song, too, maybe -- if you're thinking of gearing up on the ReBoot story.

I haven't heard back from him, and there are a plethora of unused gate songs in this forum... If you want it as a teleport song, be my guest.
