music Rory O'Donoghue song 'Coming Through' lyrics Laura Jones singer Michele Fawdon Lyrics: The song that runs over the end titles begins with Cass driving away from North Head where she has tossed her film into the sea. She pauses to pick up a couple of hitchhikers, before hitting the road: Always in the bay No one’s safe and anchored Night and day, day and night Left and right, right and wrong, All parts are named and tagged (Hitchhiker: “Which way are you going?” Cass: “Your way. Hop in.”) And I gotta set sail Gotta find my course Gotta make it my own Hear the sound of my voice And I gotta set sail Gotta find my course Gotta make it my own Hear the sound of my voice Out of mind and out of step Out of time and out of place The pieces don’t fit The colours are lost And my hands reach out There’s nothing there, and I drown Coming, coming through I feel the echoes of the past Like sea and sky, I surface To the light And I’m turning, turning Through spaces of my mind Through webs of darkness Blind my eyes to sight Shut my mind tonight Gotta go through the dark ... to get to light And I gotta set sail, Gotta find my own course Gotta make it my own Hear the sound of my voice And I gotta set sail Gotta plan my course Gotta make it my own Hear the sound of my voice And I gotta set sail Gotta find my course Gonna make it my own Hear the sound of my voice And I gotta set sail Gotta find my course I gotta make it my own Hear the sound of my voice ... Composer Rory O’Donoghue: Rory O’Donoghue was perhaps best known for his work in association with Grahame Bond - the pair wrote the music for the children’s feature film Fatty Finn and also became familiar through their work on the ABC’s Aunty Jack Show. The pair also wrote the music for Peter Weir’s short feature Homesdale, and for Peter Weir’s Michael segment in the Commonwealth Film Unit trilogy 3 To Go (the CFU was the precursor of Film Australia, which produced Cass). O'Donoghue has a relatively detailed wiki here, and is mentioned in Bond's wiki here, and in the wiki on The Aunty Jack Show.
