“Help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure, nothing ever lasts forever.” In reality, Star-Lord’s home is long gone – he’s in space now, and the Iron Maiden posters, Saturday morning cartoons, and cosy birthdays with his big-haired, plaid-wearing mother are in the past. It plays as you’re taken back to the childhood of Peter Quill (AKA Star-Lord), and those opening lyrics really hit the spot. “Welcome to your life,” you hear from a radio somewhere in the house, the lyrics marred slightly by the soft static buzz you get on analogue hardware, “there’s no turning back.” It is, of course, Tears for Fears singing their 1985 hit, ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World’. This week, Dom Peppiatt chats to Mary DeMarle and Richard Jacques from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy about the importance of music when it comes to character development, and why hearing Rick Astley in space can be far more grounding and nostalgic than you might think. Rock The Spacebar is a twice-monthly column investigating the great music that underpins your favourite games.
