I met a traveller from an antique land Who said:-Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things, The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"

A lot of people are complaining that David said "Das Rheingold, Act II" upon requesting this song from mother, saying that Das Rheingold has no Act II, and that this is from Scene IV. It's like they don't realize that this was probably intentional, as in this very same film, David mistakes Ozymandias as being one of Byron's works. It's to show that he isn't as perfect as he thinks he is.

I think the Engineers (from prometheus) engineered the enginners-like specie in covenant , that'd explain why the dreadnought was welcomed like there were gods in it.

[@leviathan7751]

also they weren't quite as beefy as the prometheus creators, and had some more human like features. I think it makes sense

[@whosilence]

They were civils, while the people in Prometheus were military. I think that's pretty straightforward. They looked up to the ship because it wasn't scheduled to ever return - or maybe they'd never even seen one. As some character states at one point, "you don't build weapons of mass destruction in your own backyard".

If you like this I would recommend the Mariinsky Ring cycle version of The entry of the gods into Valhalla conducted by Valery Gergiev. Scene IV: "Rheingold! Rheingold! Reines Gold!" It is a fantastic and awe inspiring Ring Cycle. There at not many people who understand Wagner particularly from a conducting point of view better than Gergiev.

also I find it really interesting how there is a reminiscent motiff from the ride lf the valkyries (not shure if that is how it's meant to be written)

[@ottonormalverbraucher9004]

I don't think, that's in the original piece (btw it's composed for a full orchestra. not just for a gigantic awkward brass-section. Ashame considering how Wagner mastered to colour his pieces by paying close attention to the sound of each instrument). In the beginning, there is also a motiv, that's associated with Hagen in Götterdämmerung, that I know for sure, isn't in the original. And also, neither of them would make sense in the particular context.

[@davidlabelle361]

It’s a different installment of “The Ring”. Das Rheingold is part one. Die Walküre is part two, Siegfried is part three, and Götterdämmerung is part four. This “Ride” of which you speak, is Act III of Die Walküre. There, your daily episode of “Dave’s bullshit trivia that’s gotten him nowhere in life” is now over.

[@1davidpeter]

having been listening to the real Rheingold for the last 35 years and seen it several times live with singers, I suspect that Wagner will be turning in his grave at this rendition but strangely enough I quite like it's bombastic shamlessness especially at 1.00 where the giant brass band really goes mad in a way that wouldn't be dared on the stage. Yeah, why not,......... turning in his grave maybe, but Wagner would have still taken the money and been glad that the world was hearing more of his music than just The Ride of The Valkyries!

[@advokata]

I doubt that Wagner would be turning in his grave. Why should he? If I was an artist, I'd be flattered if people still took my art seriously enough over 100 years later to make "covers" of it.

[@1davidpeter]

...thats why I said maybe......but bearing in mind the work he lavished upon the original and his ambitions to have the work performed exactly as he intended, being a great artist as he was, I think he would be disappointed that it was so roughly treated - but who knows, - he's dead.
