Music of the Spheres

Recommended Posts

RE: Summer of Love: I have been trying to think of music of the era (ca.60's/70's) that specifically relates to, or mentions Ancient Rome. There's "the End" by the Doors with "lost in a Roman wilderness of pain" (Morrison had been reading Sir James Frazer) and "When the Earth Moves Again" by Jefferson Airplane (references Hannibal, but seems inspired by the film "Spartacus") but seems as if there should be more. Maybe not, I dunno.

Can't think of a 70s one off the top of my head, but I do love that line of The Smiths' (80s) 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now':

 

What she'd ask of me at the end of the day

Caligula would have blushed....

LOL I forgot about that one...leave it to Morrisey to come up with a Caligula reference.

 

I'm gonna ponder this one...because I know of more, but can't think of them right now.
