Thus Sprach Zarathustra is a tone poem by Richard Strauss Also known as Op. 30 was composed in 1896 and inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical novel of the same name. In 2001: A Space Odyssey the same tune is used for some of the most arresting scenes. In Prometheus Sir Peter Weyland murmurs the words from Nietzsche's work, turning it into a mantra. "I am a law only for my kind, I am no law for all," you can see the seed of creation was present even then. Weyland shouldn't be bound by the laws of man, he aspires to become God. Here's the little known lyrics to Thus Sprach Zarathustra. "Rain was your birth Gathered deep Beneath the earth. Search and seep, Hollow stone Issue and flow Virgin stream Meander free It's a long way to the sea. Caves and canyons Stark prison walls Swirl and hurl you" The poem beautifully describe the settings of Prometheus and Covenant. #Prometheus #AlienCovenant #2001aspaceodyssey #ted2023 #peterweyland #nietchze #philosophy #scifi #space #horror #intertextualanalysis #studioyutani https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq4qPVlFxSZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1txtbwssljvj5
