Musical Note:
Since I can't hire musicians to put a theme song to Daniel's further adventures, I've chosen one that I think is appropriate. If you've heard it, I think you'll understand why it was chosen. If you haven't, I recommend finding it and listening while you read. Maybe you can even come up with your own mental opening credits, remembering key scenes of all that's happened to date before you start to read this week's chapter.

This song accompanied the closing credits to Kevin Costner's The Guardian, and the lyrics speak directly to the kind of man Daniel Jackson is. I hope you'll agree:

Never Let Go
by Bryan Adams

Can you lay your life down so a stranger can live?
Can you take what you need, but take less than you give?
Could you close every day without the glory and fame?
Could you hold your head high when no one knows your name?
That's how legends are made; at least that's what they say.

We say goodbye, but never let go.
We live, we die, cause you can't save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who;
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.

Can you lose everything you ever had planned?
Can you sit down again and play another hand?
Could you risk everything for the chance of being alone?
Under pressure find the grace, or would you come undone?
That's how legends are made; at least that's what they say.

We say goodbye, but never let go.
We live, we die, cause you can't save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who;
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.
