matrilI've been focusing on AOTC songs with the intent of creating the next Les Starwarbles episode, so here's two more. (The video would probably be done now if not for my rotten bronchitis messing with my voice, grrr.)
To get the narrative from the Zam sequence to the secluded Padmé and Anakin scenes, I covered a whole bunch of a ground with a rendition of The Robbery.
INTO HIDING/OBI-WAN’S INVESTIGATION
(Original)
Yoda: Track down you must, this hunter you saw
Uncover this you will
Mace: And find out who he’s working for
Obi-Wan: What of the Senator?
Yoda: Your Padawan will do
Mace: Take her back to Naboo
Palpatine: I will convince her, don’t you fear
She will comply at my command
Fin’ly a mission on your own
The start of your greatness is at hand
(Padmé’s apartment)
Padmé (To Jar Jar): I know that I can count on you
Take care of business while I’m gone
(To Anakin) But how I hate to run away
After I’ve worked so hard and long
Anakin: Sometimes we must let go our pride
And do whatever’s asked of us
Padmé: Ani, I see that you have grown
Anakin: Still haven’t earned my master’s trust
Padmé: Mentors can always see our flaws
That is the only way we grow
Just take your time
Anakin: And yet you see
I’m not the boy from years ago
Padmé: (Aside) How does he feel?
It’s best not to know...
(Jedi Temple)
Obi-Wan: I have my doubts
My Padawan
His skills have made him proud
Mace: No need to fear
The prophecy
It gives us hope for him
Yoda: Still pride I fear
Has all our senses dimmed
(On transport)
Obi-Wan: Don’t do a thing
Unless you consult me
Or the Council, Anakin
Padmé: And suddenly I find I’m frightened...
(Dexter’s Diner)
Obi-Wan: Now this dart, tell me, Dex
It’s left all of our sensors perplexed
Dex: I can guess what they missed
They don’t know of such markings as this
Far beyond the Outer Rim
On Kamino there’s cloners within
If you can pay the price
I can promise they’ll treat you quite nice...
(In library)
Jocasta: Can I help? What is wrong?
Obi-Wan: Can you say why Kamino’s not there?
Jocasta: If you can’t find it here
Then it’s not anywhere
Obi-Wan: So you say, and I’ll go
But there’s much we don’t know...
If you could show me the way
Wise Master Yoda, please say
If this planet’s still here
Or if it’s gone away
See how the gravity folds
And how its power has sway
In a dark empty space
Yoda: Ask these younglings, and we’ll see it
Plain and simple are their minds
Youngling: Master, someone changed the records
Yoda: See they can, where we are blind!
Obi-Wan: What does this mystery mean
Is there an answer to this?
What kind of truth can I glean
From this clue that we missed?
Yoda: Now to Kamino you go
A place we cannot dismiss
Padmé: It must be a heavy burden
Never choosing where to go
Anakin: Or to be with those I’d want to
Though I love them even so
Padmé: I had thought your Code forbids it
Anakin: It’s attachment we’re denied
With compassion in our mandate
You might say that love’s our guide
Padmé: You have changed so much since boyhood
Anakin: You’re the same as in my dreams
(In Theed)
Padmé: I was young, I wasn’t ready
Anakin: You had your people’s love, it seems
(In the palace)
Padmé: Let us pray that our Republic
Will not falter in its aim
If my safety is an object -
Anakin: This is my charge that you claim
Padmé: Would you take offense at nothing
Can’t you see that I know best?
Anakin: Please forgive me for my outburst
Let’s continue on our quest
Another fast-paced song, The Cart, to bring take Anakin and Padmé to Tatooine and Obi-Wan to Geonosis.
ANAKIN'S NIGHTMARE/JANGO FETT
(Original, starting around 1:50)
Anakin: If you would stay
Padmé: I’d rather not bother you
Anakin: Your presence soothes
Padmé: Then can you say what is wrong?
Anakin: I had a dream
I saw my mother in pain
I have to go
I cannot leave her to die
More than a dream
I know it’s real
I have no choice
Forgive me please
Padmé: I’ll go with you
Taun We: Here we keep him; this is Jango
Obi-Wan: So your clones are quite a sight
Jango: My desires are very simple
Make a living, if I might
Obi-Wan: Ever made it to the center?
Have you been to Coruscant?
Jango: Once or twice, but not that lately
Is there something that you want?
Obi-Wan: Do you know of Sifo-Dyas?
Jango: I have never heard that name
I was brought here by Tyranus
Here’s your army, just the same
Watto: Well little Ani, how you’ve grown
Anakin: Just tell me what was done so I can find my mother
Watto: There was a farmer bought her
And I hear he set her free and they were married
Cliegg: Come and hear
The pain and woe
The truth that you must know
Just before the dawning hour
Out of nowhere they appeared
Took your mother, and we mourn her
She cannot return from there
Anakin: So you say. Yet I feel
She’s alive; my dreams are real
