	Blame Canada?

	It's been noted before that there's a song called Marathon from the canadian rock group Rush. This group have another song called Force Ten; it was entitled this way because it was composed in a hurry to include ten songs on one of their albums, so they "force" song "ten." The 6th level on Myth TFL is called Force Ten From Stoneheim. I've search myth.bungie.org up and down for an explanation for this title in vain. I've never heard the phrase Force Ten besides the title of this song. The thing doesn't stop here. There's also a 70's song from this group called Into Darkness. On the same album there's another song entitled The Fountain. Part of the lyrics say: Now, at last I fall before The Fountain of Lamneth I thought I would be singing But I'm tired... out of breath Many journeys end here But, the secret's told the same Life is just a candle And a dream must give it flame This not only makes me think of the mountain spring from one of PiD's early plotlines, it also reminds me of Durandal's candles metaphor on Colony Ship For Sale, Cheap. There's another song from this group that makes me think of both Durandal and the Recon 54 cyborg. You be the judges. The Body Electric One humanoid escapee One android on the run Seeking freedom beneath A lonely desert sun Trying to change its program Trying to change the mode- Crack the code Images conflicting Into data overload 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 S.O.S 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 In distress 1-0-0-1-0-0 Memory banks unloading Bytes break into bits Unit One's in trouble And it's scared out of its wits Guidance systems break down A struggle to exist- To resist- A pulse of dying power In a clenching plastic fist... It replays each of the days A hundred years of routines Bows its head and prays To the mother of all machines... You can download (legally) an mp3 of Force Ten at http://www.2112.net/freedomofmusic/live/Rush-ForceTen(JapeneseDifferentStages).mp3 and a really indie recording of The Body Electric at http://www.2112.net/freedomofmusic/live/Rush-BodyElectric(live-prerelease).mp3
