Music
  • "Roll Tide" is the name of a dramatic piece of orchestral music that was composed by Hans Zimmer for the 1995 Hollywood Pictures film Crimson Tide. Most of the film is set aboard the USS Alabama, an Ohio-class nuclear-powered fleet ballistic missile submarine.
  • "Roll Tide" is the name of a song by the California based American folk-rock band Dawes on their studio album We're All Gonna Die which was released in September, 2016. The song is a melancholy lamentation about love, forgiveness, and reconciliation; it alludes to the Alabama Crimson Tide rallying cry and to the state of Alabama itself, but it also draws upon a more literal, water-based metaphor relating to the word "tide".[5][6]

gollark: Wow, TAR is a very awful format.
gollark: Hmm.
gollark: Dropping per-file headers entirely would make various things nicer, but also probably decrease the format's resilience to cryoapiaristic entities.
gollark: Also, filenames are not fixed-length, thusly things.
