I was going to make a joke about a game of Family Feud with the S'chn T'Gais (Spock, Sarek, Amanda, Sybok, T'Pau, with Michael as an alternate post-TFF) vs. another TOS family...and then I realized that as far as we know on screen, none of the rest of the TOS crew have enough living/non-divorced family members to field a team, and I made myself sad

#star trek #star trek tos #spock #family feud #sarek #amanda grayson #sybok #t'pau #michael burnham #star trek really is just Dead Parents Society/Dead Siblings Society isn't it #how many minutes until someone goes Well Actually in Gold Key Comix 437 Kirk has seventeen clone brothers #i said on screen for a reason #surely there are people who join starfleet not just because their entire family is dead #okay sam kirk was alive at some point but his time on tos was entirely deceased and also shatner in a stache #would vulcans be good at family feud or terrible at predicting what humans would answer?

Release: February 9, 1987

Lyrics:

Something in the moonlight catches my eye

The shadow of a lover goes dancing by

Looking for a little bit of love to grow, so

Give me love, give me heart and soul

You never let me cross to the other side now

I'm tied to the hope that you will somehow

Hard on the heels of something more

But I lost your love, heart and soul

The tear in my heart as you walk on by

I feel so low and your head is high

Everything you do convinces me more

Please, give me love, give me heart and soul

Looking to the day when I saw your face

I wasn't in the running, I wasn't in the race

You move in a way that I've known before

Now I want your love, heart and soul

Leaving you ain't easy now

Loving you's the harder part

You never want me for myself

I've needed you right from the very start

Oh won't you even try to

Give a little bit of heart and soul

Give a little bit of love to grow

Give a little bit of heart and soul

Don't you make me beg for more

Give a sign, I need to know

A little bit of heart and soul

Walking on the water, walking on the air

That was the heart of the love we shared

Do you keep secret left untold

Can't give love, heart or soul

I used to have a lover with a Midas touch

I turned to gold but he turned to dust

Left me for another, I turned to stone

Now I want your love, heart and soul

Living in a fantasy

There's never any room to breathe

Hoping every waking hour

You gonna turn around and say that we can start

Oh won't you even try to

Give a little bit of heart and soul

Give a little bit of love to grow

Give a little bit of heart and soul

Don't you make me beg for more

Give a sign, I need to know

A little bit of heart and soul

Somehow, I lost my way

Looking to see something in your eyes

But love will never compromise

Now this is the politics of life, yeah

Give a little bit of heart and soul

Give a little bit of love to grow

Give a little bit of heart and soul

Don't you make me beg for more

Give a sign, I need to know

A little bit, little bit

Songwriter:

Give a little bit of heart and soul

Give a little bit of love to grow

Give a little bit of heart and soul

Don't you make me beg for more

Give a sign, I need to know

A little bit of heart now want your soul?

Carole Decker / Ronn Rogers

One thing I am curious about with regards to Amok Time is the language. Did the writers have a personal vendetta against the word "thou"? Or was it a stylistic decision to make the Vulcan speech sound weird and alien by using "thee" even when it's technically grammatically incorrect? Then again, I would think even grammatically correct Early Modern English would sound unfamiliar or uncommon enough to the average audience member.

Or is it supposed to mean that T'Pau's English is just a little wrong/outdated because it's not her first language? But then she uses "thy" and "thyself" just fine.

I'd love to know what's behind that choice, and I'm sure it was one since someone would've surely caught that had it been a mistake, considering there's a bunch of Shakespeare enjoyers who worked on that show, right?

#also just to say: grammatical errors are really not a big deal. it's fine. we all make them.#but it did stand out to me (which I presumed was intentional) so I wanted to mention it #star trek tos #amok time #t'pau #spock #happy 56th anniversary!

Release: October 24, 1987

Lyrics:

… It was a theme she had

On a scheme he had

Told in a foreign land

To take life on earth

To the second birth

And the man was in command

It was a flight on the wings

Of a young girl's dreams

That flew too far away

… Don't push too far your dreams are china in your hand

Don't wish too hard because they may come true

And you can't help them

You don't know what you might have set upon yourself

China in your hand

… Come from greed

Never born of the seed

Took a life from a barren hand

Oh eyes wide

Like a child in the form of man

A prophecy for a fantasy

The curse of a vivid mind

… Don't push too far your dreams are china in your hand

Don't wish too hard because they may come true

And you can't help them

You don't know what you might have set upon yourself

China in your hand

Whoa your hand

Your hand

… Don't push too far your dreams are china in your hand

Don't wish too hard because they may come true

And you can't help them

You don't know what you might have set upon yourself

But you shouldn't push too hard no no

Songwriter:

… Don't push too far your dreams are china in your hand

Don't wish too hard because they may come true

And you can't help them

You don't know what you might have set upon yourself

Because they're only dreams

And you shouldn't push too hard no no

Carol Ann Decker / Ronald Phillip Rogers

SongFacts:

"China in Your Hand" is a song by English pop group T'Pau, released from their debut album, 'Bridge of Spies' (1987). A re-recorded version was released as a single in October 1987, spending five weeks at number one in the UK, although their debut single "Heart and Soul" was a much bigger hit in the United States. "China in Your Hand" was the 600th single to top the UK charts and kept George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set on You" from hitting the top spot. The song also peaked at number one in Belgium, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland. In 2015, the song was voted by the British public as the nation's 11th favourite 1980s number one in a poll for ITV, and in 2017 was chosen by The Daily Telegraph as one of the 21 best power ballads.

The song's lyrics refer to the novel Frankenstein and its author Mary Shelley. This is more readily heard on the longer album version of the song, as the re-recorded single edit omits most of the more obvious references to the book. The song's title was more unclear however and when quizzed, co-writer Ron Rogers was unsure of its source material. Lyric writer Carol Decker explained that it is the effect that if you hold a china cup to a light, you can see your hand through it – therefore "china in your hand" means something that is transparent. In a segment on the BBC1's The One Show on 6 March 2014, Carol Decker explained that she had been holding a china tea cup belonging to Ronnie Rogers' mother in her hand while washing up and had felt a lump in the bottom. She held the cup to the light and saw an image of a young woman in the base of the cup. Decker had the cup with her and showed the viewers the image.

The song is in the key of B-Flat major on the original album version, but the radio edit version is slightly sped up to reduce its length, resulting in the tuning being midway between B-Flat and B Major.
