Home on the Range
"Home on the Range" is a classic western song, sometimes called the "unofficial anthem" of the American West. The lyrics were originally written by Dr. Brewster M. Higley of Smith County, Kansas in a poem entitled "My Western Home" in the early 1870s. In 1947, it became the state song of the American state of Kansas. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.
History
The poem was first published in a December 1873 issue of the Smith County Pioneer under the title "My Western Home". The music was written by a friend of Higley, Daniel E. Kelley (1845–1905). Higley's original words are similar to those of the song today, but not identical; the original did not contain the words "on the range". The song was adopted by settlers, cowboys, and others and spread across the United States in various forms. During the early 20th century, it was arranged by Texas composer David W. Guion (1892–1981), who occasionally was credited as the composer. The song has gone under various names the most common are "Home on the Range" and "Western Home". It was officially adopted as the state song of Kansas on June 30, 1947, and is commonly regarded as the unofficial anthem of the American West.
Home on the Range (2004 film)
Home on the Range is a 2004 American animated musical western comedy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The 45th film in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series, it was the last 2D animated Disney film until The Princess and the Frog was released in 2009. Named after the popular country song of the same name, Home on the Range features the voices of Roseanne Barr, Judi Dench, Jennifer Tilly, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Randy Quaid, and Steve Buscemi. The film is set in the Old West, and centers on a mismatched trio of dairy cows — brash, adventurous Maggie; prim, proper Mrs. Caloway; and ditzy, happy-go-lucky Grace. The three cows must capture an infamous cattle rustler named Alameda Slim for his bounty in order to save their idyllic farm from foreclosure. Aiding them in their quest is Lucky Jack, a feisty, peg-legged rabbit, but a selfish horse named Buck, eagerly working in the service of Rico, a famous bounty hunter, seeks the glory for himself.

The Zero
by: Crash Street KidsIt's been so long I can't recall
I'm disconnected from it all
I'm not the same
Now they want me back again
In dreams, I get the where and when-
The Zero Plane
(Berlin awaits)
I'd rather die than come crawling back to the orphans in the sterile black I once called home
When all I had was Aladdin Sane, The Slider, and my mother's name
I was all alone
Over!
Have to face that it's over
Feel the past on my shoulder
Hear the ring of the bell
There's nothing that I will return to
They can't lose me, and I won't lose you
Dealing with the things in my life
I should have gone crazy
Calling me in my sleep every night
I think I've gone crazy
Over!
Have to face that it's over
Feel the past on my shoulder
Hear the ring of the bell
There's nothing that I will return to
They can't lose me
AND I WON'T LOSE YOU!
I won't lose you!
I can't lose you!
'Cause I need you!
