Over the past year or so, I have been immersing myself into the new Doctor Who series (starting with the Ninth Doctor) and one of the songs from the last episode of Series 2 puts me into a brooding mood: Doomsday. For those that are catching up on Doctor Who and have not gotten to that episode yet, ignore the rest of this post as there is a spoiler. The song is played when the Doctor loses Rose as she is being sucked into the Void (though caught by Peter from the parallel world). Every component of the song, including the haunting vocal and the bass line, puts me into a deep, depressing funk. The emotional impact of the Doctor losing Rose does have parallels to some parts of my life, which does not help with the song's impact on me. |
