No single piece of music can ever fully represent Soundwave's nature; that's why this is a Soundwave theme song, rather than the Soundwave theme song. But I thought this one came nicely close. If you're puzzled as to why, go read the story Guiding Hand, and then come back and read these lyrics again. ;) A THOUSAND YEARSBy StingA thousand times a million doors to eternity I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times An endless turning stairway climbs To a tower of souls If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars, The towers rise to numberless floors in space I could shed another million tears, a million breaths, A million names but only one truth to face A million roads, a million fears A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty I could speak a million lies, a million songs, A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time But if there was a single truth, a single light A single thought, a singular touch of grace Then following this single point , this single flame, The single haunted memory of your face I still love you I still want you A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves Like galaxies in my head I may be numberless, I may be innocent I may know many things, I may be ignorant Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief I still love you I still want you A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves Like galaxies in my head On and on the mysteries unwind themselves Eternities still unsaid 'Til you love me * * * Find this song on the album Brand New Day  
Other Songs I Associate With Soundwave:"Take My Breath Away," which you can find on The Best Of Berlin "Sound of Silence," which you can find on The Best of Simon & Garfunkel And the ideal song describing Soundwave's relationship to his creations (and indeed to the Decepticon species at large) is "Teach Your Children" by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young, which you can find on the album Deja Vu There are several other pieces of music that I've dsignated for specific events in Soundwave's life (Howard Carpendale's "One More Dance in Blue," Modern Talking's "When the Sky Rained Fire," Bob Seger's "Famous Final Scene"), but those will be linked from the appropriate fanfics or Mush logs. |
