Around The World
I want to sail around the world
Just to know where I can stay

I want to go where I can see
How people live in harmony
I want to sail around the world
Just to know where I can stay




Cross every water in the sea
To keep my dreams in motion

I come back to this so often, I'm enthralled by the Dune score, so few bands can achieve this, to both complement and elevate the material they are composing for. Huge props to David Lynch for seeing this huge sci-fi epic, this convoluted mess of a script and think "I believe the ambience of Dune, of the year 10.191, is best achieved through smooth rock". One other example of this is the Queen soundtrack to Flash Gordon, also a Dino de Laurentiis production. Maybe they just had a thing for rock.

A great flick. Watch a long fan edit

Seb Rura

Phenomenal performance of a phenomenal song. Luke’s tone is magic. Bass also sounds amazing here.

Johnny Moraes Guitar

Pure magic guitar tone.

Patinho

I agree. Excerpt that it’s not a song. It’s a piece (of music). Pop culture calls all pieces songs now because in the pop
Music industry all pieces were songs and somehow people got used to using the word song for all pieces.. incorrectly.

This was an amazing lineup. By the end of the following years tour, the lawsuit was coming to a close and Luke and Shem had a falling out. Saw the Journey/Toto tour and it was great but I think Luke needs to shuffle the deck again and come up with something really out of the box.

Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.... Absolutely one of my favorite arrangements.

Massimo Del Pezzo

Toto: the best band in the world with the greatest guitar player in the world! His tone is magic.

Can't get enough of this! It's a masterpiece.

This is not just a theme to a movie, its a masterclass in musicianship, talent and complete and utter competence. I miss those guys so much. I would give my right arm to catch them in concert again. They are so humble, for as much as people give them the accolades, the verbal praise, etc, Luke will always be the first to say no to being the best guitarist in the world even when people like EVH say it. They are all like that; Porcaro, Williams, Paich and Von Shoeck are so down to earth and mannerly, they don't treat us fans, they treat us as family. They are a huge part of music and if I was a monarch in the UK, I'd be giving them honorary knighthoods.
The word hasn't been invented yet as to how much the fans feel for them.
