Wanderers in the music industry?

[Spiritualchaos]

Hey everyone! I am going to revive this super old thread because this is a topic that I have a lot to say about. My partner and I met through our mutual love of music. Our son Orion only wants to watch music videos, (he’s 2) and has no interest in kid shows. Music connects our family. Both my partner and I spend a lot of time listening to music, analyzing lyrics, and music videos.

The original poster was sharing lyrics from Muse. I thought this was a good observation, because one of their newest music videos looks like a STS entity gaining power over others.

I also found a few artists over the years, who’s music reminds me of wanderers. 

Lord Huron has a lot of lyrics that remind me of wanderers. 

Lord Huron - Ends of the Earth
Oh, there's a river that winds on forever
I'm gonna see where it leads
Oh, there's a mountain that no man has mounted
I'm gonna stand on the peak
Out there's a land that time don't command
Wanna be the first to arrive
No time for ponderin' why I'm-a wanderin'
Not while we're both still alive
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me?
There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me?
Well if you won't, I must say my goodbyes to thee
Oh, there's an island where all things are silent
I'm gonna whistle a tune
Oh, there's a desert that size can't be measured
I'm gonna count all the dunes
Out there's a world that calls for me, girl
Headin' out into the unknown
Wayfarin' strangers and all kinds of danger
Please don't say I'm goin' alone
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me?
There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me?
Well If you won't, I must say my goodbyes to thee
I was a-ready to die for you, baby
Doesn't mean I'm ready to stay
What good is livin' a life you've been given
If all you do is stand in one place
I'm on a river that winds on forever
Follow 'til I get where I'm goin'
Maybe I'm headin' to die but I'm still gonna try
I guess I'm goin' alone

Lord Huron - Lost in Time and Space
Lost in time and space
Aimless drifting in a far off place
Hurtling through the vast unknown
Staring straight into the pure, black void
Drowning in the sea of stars
Lost in a galaxy of cocktail bars
Blinded by the neon lights
I lie awake and say your name into the night
I guess she's gone for good
She don't call me like I thought she would
She went west to chase her dreams
She took my money, but she didn't take me
Why go wander unknown worlds?
Stay right here and let the cosmos twirl
Blind without her source of light
I light a flame and say her name into the night
I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am
Lost in time and space
Aimless searching for a long, lost face
Haven't got a thing to lose
If I don't find her, gonna tie that noose
I quit my job and packed my car
Left in a hurry, and I've sure come far
Driving fast with no headlights
I'm wide awake, I say her name into the night
Oh, I'll find a way, I say your name into the night
I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am
I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am
I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am
I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am

Lord Huron - Vide Noir
Many nights have I heard her voice
Whisper my name without making a noise
Calling out from a pure, black void
Tears of sorrow or tears of joy
Drops in my cup as my mind is destroyed
Staring into a pure, black void
So what if I'm living out past the edge?
So what if I never come back again?
Many evils have I enjoyed
Prowling the night raising hell with the boys
Getting high on a pure, black void
I am only an aimless soul
Heading into a pure, black void
So what if I'm living out past the edge?
So what if I never come back again?
Where can you go when it's all in your head?
These are the last words that I ever said
Where can you go when it's all in your head?
I am only an aimless soul
Heading into a pure, black void
I am only an aimless soul
Heading into a pure, black void

Lord Huron - The Night We Met
I am not the only traveler
Who has not repaid his debt
I've been searching for a trail to follow again
Take me back to the night we met
And then I can tell myself
What the hell I'm supposed to do
And then I can tell myself
Not to ride along with you
I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met
When the night was full of terrors
And your eyes were filled with tears
When you had not touched me yet
Oh, take me back to the night we met
I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Take me back to the night we met

Lord Huron - Secret of Life
I sit alone in the dark, and I try to remember
The words you spoke when you summoned the Ender
You chained my life to an ancient master
Will the curse be reversed if I say it backwards?
What you crossed was a line at the edge of the void
And you can't crawl back without making a choice
But then something escaped when you opened the gate
You cheated death and sealed your fate
Put on your new dress tonight
And look to the west, the moon's in the sky
I wanna get at least that high
Wanna leave the Earth and my things behind
You told me you're never gonna die
How am I supposed to sleep through the night?
You showed me the secret of life
I can't forget that look in your eye
Been a long time gone, living out on the coast
It's a long way back from the edge of the cosmos
Truths once known never come unknown
I learned that lesson lives ago
To die for good, it must be earned
The ways of death can never be learned
And the life I've lived is only dust
The darkness comes for all of us
Put on your new dress tonight
And I look to the west, the moon's in the sky
I wanna get at least that high
Wanna leave the Earth and all things behind
You told me you're never gonna die
How am I supposed to sleep through the night?
You showed me the secret of life
I can't forget that look in your eye

Lord Huron - The Balancer’s Eye
Heaven never ever heard a word I said
I've cried enough to raise the dead
"Everything comes and goes," they say
Here tomorrow, gone today
Heaven won't let me in, I don't know why
No one ever loved half as much as I
Everyone's a sinner in the balancer's eye
I've prayed enough, I rolled the dice
Anyone's luck can turn, I've heard
Not soon enough, I gave my word
I was born right into nothing
Under a very bad sign
Can I cross beyond that line?
Is it in my mind?
Is it in my mind?
Is it in my mind?
Is it in my mind?
Nothing's waiting for us in the great sky
Life is equal to dust in the balancer's eye
Now I know that I can't lift an old curse
Tell me, how does a man change the universe?
Will I ever be forgiven for the crime of my life?
Will it haunt me 'til I die?
To the end of time
To the end of time
To the end of time
To the end of time
Heaven won't let me in, I don't know why
No one ever loved half as much as I
If I follow the starlight and call your name
Will I see you again on the astral plane?
Why did learnin' the truth make me feel worse?
Tell me, how does a man change the universe?
Doesn't matter; it's too late to do right
Heading into the void at the speed of light
Now I know that I can't lift an old curse
Tell me, how does a man change the universe?
Tell me, how does a man change the universe?
Tell me, how does a man change the universe?

Pretty much every single one of their songs is like this, references long lost loves, being lost in the void, reincarnation, etc. I resonate quite deeply with “The Night We Met.” To top it all off, they put out this video on their youtube channel that was very, very odd.

Another band I resonate deeply with is Foxing. They also have some songs that I feel deeply. This feels like my wanderer theme song, I have no idea why, but I’m trying to figure it out.

Foxing - Beacons
I was floating there for so long
King of nothing, but the space I take up
I felt it all at once
I felt it all at once
I was floating there for so long
Petrified by the sight of the sun
I felt it all at once
It felt like nothing at all
Fire broke loose in a moment there
I let it breathe for the first time
And as it danced through the room undressing, it held the closet shut
But I was out with the
Beacons of that shame, left behind
For the first time I felt alive
I thought I couldn’t move my feet
But I’m running with you now, we’re a stampede
Tell me everything I know about love
Now it’s thicker than my blood
I thought I couldn’t move my feet
But I’m running with you now, we’re a stampede baby
I’m running with you now, we’re a stampede
I was floating there for so long
I couldn’t speak, now I can’t stop my tongue
Nobody shut me up; no it was nothing at all
So throw away the albatross
Take fortune in everything
And be the sword swinging back to the anvil that birthed it
Put your pain on the pyre, let the light be the
Beacons of that shame, left behind
For the first time I felt alive
I thought I couldn’t move my feet
But I’m running with you now, we’re a stampede
Tell me everything I know about love
Now it’s thicker than my blood
I thought I couldn’t move my feet
But I’m running with your now, we’re a stampede
Beacons of that shame, left behind
For the first time I felt alive
I thought I couldn’t move my feet
But I’m running with you now, we’re a stampede
Tell me everything I know about love
Now it’s thicker than my blood
I thought I couldn’t move my feet
But I’m running with you now, we’re a stampede
I’m running with you now, we’re a stampede baby
I’m running with you now, we’re a stampede

Also, even though this song is about Alice Merton moving a lot as a child, I can relate to the vibe of the song. 

Alice Merton - No Roots
I like digging holes and hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I hope I won't forget to find them
'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
I build a home and wait for someone to tear it down
Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next town running
'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
And a thousand times I've seen this road
A thousand times
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I like standing still, boy, that's just a wishful plan
Ask me where I come from, I'll say a different land
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
I count gates and numbers, then play the guessing game
It's just the place that changes, the rest is still the same
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
And a thousand times I've seen this road
A thousand times
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I like digging holes
Hiding things inside them
When I grow old
I won't forget to find them
I like digging holes
Hiding things inside them
When I grow old
I won't forget to find them
I've got no roots
No roots
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
I've got no roo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oots
No!

I could go on forever in this category, but for now I’ll leave it at this. Thank you for checking it out, love & Light to you all.
