Quantum Leap - Fate’s Wide Wheel

[@hammersmikey1739]

If people listen to the words of this song carefully it is actually a masterpiece about time travelling! and that final chorus puts the hairs up on the back of the neck!......."PLEASE make there be one final leap!" 😭❤

[@caithness78]

Scott Bakula really has a wonderful voice

[@luisgarza1989]

David Byron's style.🎤⚔️🔥

[@darkb4light06]

Literally the entire plot of the show. 🥰🥰 Al/Dean rocking out is so awesome. 🥰🥰

[@Sophie-ft4ew]

RIP Dean Stockwell 😥 (1935-2021)

[@Al99NextGeneration]

Rest in peace, Al old friend... 😔

[@HockeyMakeup]

To this very day, this is one of the absolute best episodes in TV history. It's so iconic in so many ways!

[@disneygirlflorida]

The lyrics tell Sam's story so well

[@Al99NextGeneration]

This TV series was just excellent :)

[@jimmeh8781]

I'd say Scott Bakula had the choice of being a theatrically trained rock singing legend or just an acting one, but regardless, he is a fucking legend! Miss them days rushing home from school to watch Quauntum Leap 🤘🏻

As I travel in space and time, I want to stay, I want to go. You see my face but its not mine, what you can’t see, you'll never know. How can we meet if I'm not there? Our hearts may touch. Our bodies close. But time divides what we might share and sends a soul where no one goes. I'm just a traveler upon the sea. Of time, of life, of Fate's Wide Wheel. Just a traveler in this mystery. The me I am is all thats real to me. We all begin this life alone. We live, we love all through the years. Yet deep inside we long for home. But it receeds, obscured by tears. I cry to time; it falls past me. The door of fate remains asleep. But in my soul, this hope burns free... Oh please let there be one final leap. I'm just a traveler upon the sea of time, of life, on Fate's Wide Wheel. Just a traveler in this mystery. The me I am is all that’s real to me.

Thank you so much for posting lyrics ❤️

[@ashleyiveson8697]

Who knew Scott Bakula had such a great voice

[@Kohntarkosz]

When he appeared on William Shatner's talk show, he mentioned that every show he's been on he sang at least one song, with Enterprise being the exception because "We were only on 4 seasons", and Shatner says "Well, that's one more than MY show got".

[@dars5229]

Well actually, Donald Bellisario knew Scott Bakula's career began in musical theatre and wrote episodes specifically to show off his singing chops.

[@susanboylefanable]

The people who initially auditioned him, most likely...😂

[@javiercacao7475]

This episode really alludes KISS. I really liked Quantum Leap and glad they did this one.

[@dars5229]

Yeah, but a bit of Bowie thrown in there too, I like to think.

[@krismanfredini5640]

Even had the KISS poster in the kid's room.

[@палинагагарина-ш4я]

это кисс или другая музыка

[@FlamHoven]

@@палинагагарина-ш4я Другая, специально для сериала. Но после этой серии я начал слушать KISS. Много лет назад

[@Kohntarkosz]

There's even a bit where Al's giving him advice on how to perform, something to the effect of "You could smash your guitar like Pete Townshend, or stick your tongue out like...what was that guy's name?".

[@crapola67876578]

the words make me understand how the character feels throughout the show. fantastic show! fantastic composition!

[@serenjns]

I adored this episode. I’ve just rewatched it. 30 years later, and I’d lay money down that Scott Bakula still has a speck of glitter on him somewhere. That stuff is near impossible to get rid of entirely. I’d personally volunteer to check every inch of his body, for scientific reasons, or something. 😅

[@purplelady5956]

My absolute favorite episode, can't count how many times I watched it. I loved this series. Scott Bakula had a great voice. I didn't know there was more to this song. great!

[@devildozer]

My fav too! It's become a comfort thing, I lost count too how many times I've seen "Glitter Rock".

[@HearBobbyRoar]

I love that I'm not the only one

[@dabobaboi3592]

The pain of a time traveler lost in time.... put into this SOULFUL piece of art. HOOWA 🤟😤

[@curtisgordon7379]

i just wanna say, you know how as the show goes on sams swiss cheese memory slowly recovers? and he slowly remembers things? in the show he remembers his brother, sister, dad,mum al and even gushi. but he never remembers his wife donna. i think i know why. a lot of people think its because sam never really liked her and thats why he cant remember her but i think its because in the original history sam never married donna. she never showed up at their wedding and sam never saw her again. and then in s1e3 he meets donna when she was 19 and does something in the past to make it so they ended up together. so sam changed history so that they were married. so i think since sam is the time traveller his memory isnt altered so the reason he cant remember her is because he remembers the original timeline where they never were married. and in s4e1 the leap back he remembers donna because since he has returned home, his memory shifted from the original timeline to the altered one. but at the end of the episode and he gets trapped in time again, it shifts back to the original timeline.

[@lorrainefiel9103]

I would say you are correct except for the end part. He didn't know he was married to her because he wasn't when he leaped but also he forgot everything again when he leaped so it didn't go back to the previous timeline.

[@michaelcopperthwaite9492]

2:04 seconds - "Please let there be one final leap" . Love it!

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

Oh man, I didn't notice. I always thought it was about love....with all the talk of meeting, hearts, and touching; and he said "let there be one finally," but you are right.

[@hammersmikey1739]

[@beckyhill8989]

Glitter rock was my first Quantum leap episode and I was hooked

[@corm1000]

I like this tune, I also like how the lyrics kind of go with the whole story of the quantum leap series. It's like these lyrics are about the sam character of quantum leap.

[@lorrainefiel9103]

Kind of? They are spot on. It is about Sam.

[@henrykarnbach5586]

Super Cool Episode 😎 👌

how is possible to fell in love with the same person when you are 15 and again when you are 40?

[@dokshish1]

Well said....💖

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

The mystery that is love!

[@disneygirlflorida]

I love al but I know what you're saying ❤

[@cynthiasuri9191]

I have the same question. :) I think the answer is that everyone wants a guy like him, regardless of their age.

[@darkb4light06]

Right??? I was about 15 and had a huge crush on Scott. I'm 42 and have realized that I never lost my crush on him. Just....damn

[@cloudymerland]

Absoultely moving performance and this show is so amazing on so many levels.

[@richardmorris3564]

The 1 and ONLY thing that sucks about this performance and this EXCELLENT song is that it is WAY too short. I watched it when it aired for the first time on Quantum Leap a lifetime ago. Now I'm a fan of NCIS New Orleans......

[@sonoroustripleh]

This should've been the theme song! Somehow this song fit exactly what he was doing!

[@coocat6513]

[@elleshanndriacnossosmidnight]

Scott has an amazing voice and most do not know he sang this.

Chef d'œuvre il n'y a rien à rajouter 👍👍👍

[@MrMojoman1976]

I’m really disappointed they never put up the songs from this episode. They were pretty damn good.

[@lindabennett611]

This song, Fate's Wide Wheel, is on the Quantum Leap CD, along with other songs Scott sang on the series, along with other songs! I have it and really love the sound quality!

[@just4fun947]

Was this song released on the charts? It could have been a hit. Does anyone know?

RIP Al!

[@DeconvertedMan]

Wish I could fix my own past. Ah well.

[@turret72]

I realized that when Tonic leaped back he probably doesn’t remember this song. He probably wondered how he made it and tried to capture the original spirit behind it only to find he can’t recall. So Tonic is left with a performance he can’t duplicate with a song that wasn’t his. And that’s sad.

[@brioman]

good job

[@davidbreen311]

My second favorite episode first is the two part where Sam leaped in Lee Harvey Oswald

nice edit.

[@yuplusjin]

I wonder who actually sang the song in the background when they were signing albums tho (into 14mins of the episode)

[@pipmccann7734]

What season was this one ?

[@puppyofwrath]

Third season. Episode 13

[@luisgarza1989]

Sounds like Uriah Heep in the 80s, if David never had left the band. 🎸⚔️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚔️

[@razzledazzle9106]

Ziggy cracks me up. He played in the movie "The Boy with Green Hair" as a child. He was adorable.

[@terryrose4804]

Dean Stockwell was "The Boy With Green Hair."

[@Kohntarkosz]

That would be Al you're thinking of. Ziggy was the computer.

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

Ziggy the computer was female. While I think they referred to it briefly in season 1 as he, it later became very feminine and "she/her."

[@lorrainefiel9103]

Ziggy was referred to as he until season 4, episode 1, The Leap Back, when we hear Ziggy's voice is feminine. Sam still refers to Ziggy as he in the episode. After that though Sam and Al call Ziggy she as well as he. There is even one conversation, in Revenge of the Evil Leaper, where Al says he and Sam immediately after says she.

[@jackdriver9227]

Is they before the band kiss was a thing?

[@lorrainefiel9103]

The episode is set in 1975 and KISS started in 1973. They were called Wicked Lester before that though and started in 1970.

[@aboundingvampirekiller2048]

Well in the Quantum Leap canon, King Thunder was a British Glam Rock act which was reminiscent of Sweet, Slade, Suzi Quattro, Bowie, Gary Glitter and T-Rex which was big in 1973 in the real world, but this song and King Thunder were set in 1974. And KISS were formed in 1973 so yeah

[@MaximusAdonicus]

Also, this episode was done in 1991... Kiss was already unmasked then with millions of albums sold.

I hate it when girls go for him. Why don't he just push them off?? Instead of getting himself in trouble. Really annoying!!!!

[@lorrainefiel9103]

Sam did push them off. There were three of them pushing him back until he hit the bed. He pushed them off and carried them out the door. He didn't get in trouble.
