Mom & I finished watching the 7th Season of Magnum P.I. last night. I'd almost forgotten how the season had ended, but once we started watching the season finale, it all came back.
"Limbo" was supposed to be the series finale, but after Tom Selleck said he'd do a shortened 8th season, it was greenlit and there were 12 more episodes. However, in "Limbo", Magnum is shot and initially it looks like he's dead (friends gather at Robin's Nest all wearing black, talking about him in the past tense). They did manage to do some editing to show that Magnum was in a coma instead. Doesn't work too well though. Anyway, Magnum's spirit is walking around, observing his friends and the song "Looking For Space" by John Denver plays several times to great effect. By the end of the episode, Magnum's spirit walks off into the clouds, his goodbyes all said.
It's a beautiful song and of course I tracked it down right away. Thought I'd share it with everyone. :)
On the road of experience, I'm trying to find my own way.
Sometimes I wish that I could fly away.
When I think that I'm moving, suddenly things stand still.
I'm afraid cause I think they always will.
And I'm looking for space and to find out who I am, and I'm looking to know and understand.
It's a sweet, sweet dream, sometimes I'm almost there.
Sometimes I fly like an eagle and sometimes I'm deep in despair.
All alone in the universe, sometimes that's how it seems.
I get lost in the sadness and the screams.
Then I look in the center and suddenly everything's clear.
I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams
And I'm looking for space and to find out who I am, and I'm looking to know and understand.
It's a sweet, sweet dream, sometimes I'm almost there.
Sometimes I fly like an eagle and sometimes I'm deep in despair.
On the road of experience, join in the living day.
If there's an answer it's just that it's just that way,
When you're looking for space and to find out who you are.
When you're looking to try and reach the stars.
It's a sweet, sweet, sweet dream, sometimes I'm almost there.
Sometimes I fly like an eagle and sometimes I'm deep in despair.
Sometimes I fly like an eagle.
Like an eagle. I go flyin' high.
