Though I have to admit, one of the things I'm thinking is that there's never any big parts for my voice... heh.
It took me a while to parse this bit: The song ends as Carson and Perna discover a serum that they believe will work, and the Major-captain's household collects their captive Wraith to try it out. He reaches for the test subject, rears back theatrically, and dies upon the spot. For some reason, I thought 'he' meant Sheppard, and 'test subject' the Wraith; I had to actively recall the episode to work out what was really going on. I mean, that's probably just me being freakish and weird.
These lines made me squee So Hard: the import of Rodni opening with "I eventually began talking again, of course" is not readily apparent.
by Teyla, who uses the same melody to sing of how she, no longer a maid and ripe for marriage, has bound herself to three men whom she could love and three men who, obedient to their codes of honor, have never once pressed attention upon her; by Sheppard and McKay, who sing in alternating lines of their deep, passionate, and obviously hopelessly unrequited love for the other
Rodni sings of his love for the clear beauty of science, which was and is and shall be, before human beings crawled up from the muck and long after not even their bones remain.
"Now at last I see clear"/"Clear as mud."
And I'm gonna go away now, because I'm feeling weirder than usual.
