You got your rules and your religion all designed to keep you safe.īut when rules start getting broken you start questioning your faith. The second verse is even better because it's as if the persona exacts some sort of revenge on the institutions of society and turns their own power against them.Voices was a theme song used by Randy Orton and performed by Rev Theory. Meanwhile, the song's persona-presumably Orton himself-relishes in the chaos because he has the guidance of all these voices steering him into his own sense of normalcy. It flips what you expect from a normal person on its head and paints a picture of everything in that person's world unraveling and him spiraling into madness. What I love most about "Voices" is how it's written. The hook itself goes, "I hear voices in my head / They council me / they understand / They talk to me" and it's so IED Orton, which is pretty much what he still is right now, since he does, "whatever wants, to whomever wants, whenever wants." This theme perfectly summarizes Randy Orton's character since he introduced the mentally unstable side of him in the late 2000s. I hear voices in my head The council me They understand They tell me things that I will do They show me things Ill do to you They talk to me, they talk to me. (Clearly, I've taken my issues with CFO$' loops with me into the new decade.)
It's a song you can listen to whether in or out of the context of wrestling because IT'S NOT JUST A LOOP. Plus, it was recorded by a band outside the WWE umbrella as Rev Theory has been active as a post-grunge rock band since 2002.
"Voices" by Rev Theory is among the last of its type of entrance theme in WWE: a full song that isn't just a glorified loop. And then, his theme song played on my Spotify as I was driving yesterday and I found myself singing along to it and remembering just how awesome it is.
First, Orton suckered AJ Styles in with a fake career-ending injury, which actually got me invested in The Viper for the first time in years. I wasn't particularly thrilled to see Orton feud with AJ Styles (again) over the holidays since they'd already feuded through last year's WrestleMania season, albeit with their roles reversed. The thing about Orton-and his theme-is that he's been around this long that it's so easy to get tired of him, particularly when he's not booked very well. I honestly can't believe that this next song has been around for over a decade at this point, especially since I'm old enough to remember Randy Orton's old theme. I thought I'd start with an oldie but goodie for the first TST of 2020. Randy Orton (Theme Song Original) - Wwe I hear voices in my head They council me They understand They talk to me You got your rules and your religion All designed to keep you safe But w. Luckily, I found myself going through a treasure trove of non-WWE (or even older WWE) entrance themes on Spotify over the holidays, so I've found a new set of songs to write about. But since they stopped uploading the newer entrance themes, I found it harder to find full copies of them, which made it more difficult to maintain this column. They talk to me You got your rules and your religion All designed to keep you safe But when rules start getting broken You start questioning your faith I have a voice that is my savior Hates to love and loves to hate I have a voice that has the knowledge And the power to rule your fate I hear voices crying I see heroes. Yep, your eyes are not deceiving you! Theme Song Tuesday is back after a long hiatus! There was a time when I relied on the new releases from WWE Music on Spotify for the entries on this column.
