Moby Dick Rehearsed
Starbuck(+Ahab)
noble heart, go not!
THE YOUNG ACTOR. (about Starbuck) You might say that he's the only voice of sanity in the play.
Regina Spektor - Two Birds
Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away
And the other watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well
But he is a liar
STARBUCK. Vengeance on a poor dumb brute that struck thee blindly, out of instinct? Vengeance on a poor dumb thing!--it's blasphemy!
Ahab, beware of Ahab!--beware of thyself, old man!
AHAB. ... Talk not to me of blasphemy! I'd strike the sun if it insulted me!
Moby - Run On
You might run on for a long time
Run on, ducking and dodging
Run on, children, for a long time
Let me tell you, God Almighty gonna cut you down
STARBUCK. How many barrels, Captain, will your vengeance yield ye, if ye get it? How much will vengeance fetch in the Nantucket market?
Placebo - Running Up That Hill
You don't want to hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder
There is thunder in our hearts, baby
So much hate for the ones we love
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
AHAB. If we hunt not Moby Dick, God hunt us all!
STARBUCK. God keep us all!
The Acorn - Oh, Napoleon
As I wait for skies to clear
Don't seem to mind if I shed a tear
From time to time, I'm swallowed whole
And in a wink spat on the floor
Will I follow you home again?
STARBUCK. My soul is more than matched; she's over-manned. He drilled down deep and blasted reason out of me.
Right Away, Great Captain! - Like Lions Do
So to captains of my captain how can I become a captain
Get the strength I need to pull this one around
I will wait under the tow like lions
I will wait under the tow like lions
Like lions do
(Oh my God, what am I doing here?)
STARBUCK. I think I see his end, but feel that I must help him to it.
Damien Rice - Rootless Tree
What I want from this
Is to learn to let go
No not of you
Of all that's been told
Killers reinvent and believe
And it leans on me, like a rootless tree
STARBUCK. Great God! But for one single instant show thyself. Never, never wilt thou capture, him, old man! In Jesus' name, no more of this!
Iron & Wine - On Your Wings
God, there are guns growing out of our bones
God, every road takes us father from home
All these men that you've made
How we wither in the shade
Of your trees, on your wings
We are carried to the sea
AHAB. Some ships sail from their ports, and ever afterwards are missing, Starbuck.
STARBUCK. Truth, sir, saddest truth!
AHAB. Some men die at ebb tide, some at low water, some at the full of the blood; -- and I feel now much like a billow that's one crested comb, Starbuck. I am old. Shake hands with me.
STARBUCK. Oh, captain! -- My Captain! Noble heart, go not!
