- Fly Free Traveller is the official theme for the Traveller RPG, composed by musician Tom Cook.
Tom is a multi-instrumental composer who has played Traveller since his teens in the 80’s, and has a great love for science fiction and the creativity that RPG’s offer. Why watch a film when you can live one with an unrestricted budget!
His daughter Heli sings this song and her youthful yet emotive voice is a joy to write with.

Lyrics
I'm just a scout from Bowman's, Koeniggs station
Waiting for adventure in this burnt out, starport nation
I got a contact here, can get me the gear, to fix my own ship
My pockets as empty as my carbine magazine, I need Credit
I sign my name on the line
A tour to earn it
I pay my mercenary time
And board a strange ship
They say we're headed to the Great Rift
We'll cross the abyss, I don't believe it
I'll go wherever they pay me
That's how I roll it
Jump into my vacc suit
Atmosphere is emptying
Say a prayer with my carbine
Keep me safe with this den of thieves all of the time
I see faces full of fear
I hear voices rough and unkind
Every scar on their armour has tale to tell
And I'll get mine, I'll get mine
And I'll get mine, I'll get mine
Fly free Traveller...
Fly free Traveller...
We drop into edge the Third Imperium, a spinward system
The chatter on the comms is of clearance codes with clipped precision
We make a high gee burn to the target’s home, deploying swiftly
Our objectives lit, this is it... the drones come quickly
Darting through the fire
My heart is beating
I hear another squads’ cry
Their grav sleds pieces
Scattered to the winds,
Falling to the floor
My senses overload
I crumple by the door
I just don’t wanna be here no more
How did I get to be here...
A flash of light...
One more mark...
One more laser burn...
One more scar...
That dark look in the eye....
My Credits grow
But the Credits go
Gotta fix that ship
And quit this show
Fly free Traveller
Gonna fly my own way
Fly free Traveller
Gonna fly my own way
Fly free Traveller
Gonna fly my own way
Fly free Traveller...
Its also a little meta that the video ends in black and the youtube progress bar is a thin red line. Traveller.
Considering it's a work of love by a few dedicated travelleristas with minimal budget, absolutely awesome!
Also, a total earworm.
After the pilot activates the jump drive at 01:35, I expected to see a subtitle explaining, “Approximately one week later …”
Thank you!
I can see a spotlit singer in a spaceport club belting this out from the stage while the Travellers have a drink in the dark.
It works. Now I want to play Traveller.
I really like it. Did you make more, Tom and Heli?

Great music - angel voice :D
nice one got anymore traveller based content?
JUst so cool!!! Love how desolate it feels.
Mayday......mayday....this is freetrader Beowulf............
This jam kicks off every Traveller session I referee and it sets the tone for my group. I then follow it up with the Pirates of Drinax OST and we are off and not looking back.
Great song and video - I *really* enjoyed it - keep up the good work!
A very talented family. And yes Traveller is one of my favorite games. Hope to see more like this.
Very Nice, should win a SEH
Greatest song ever
Cool tune, very Traveller fitting, great work on the film. The only thing I would take issue with is when the pilot Jumps into Jumpspace, It actually looks nothing like it should and while in Jump space it dose not look like a starwars hyperspace jump. Jumpspace is far weirder, your starship is essentially inside a transparent bubble of hydrogen floating surrounded in something similar to bizarrely warping liquid mercury, well that is one such description, though no real accurate description of jumpspace exists because it is constantly variable and everyone travelling through it perceive it differently.
@@Svenne-man-1880 Cool! It's possible I guess, just don't stare into the endless corrosive darkness of jumpspace to long, the fragile mind of the viewer may never return the same, but only as a twisted, shattered mess of madness, crying out to the echoes of impossible endless infinity.
@@Svenne-man-1880 Hilarious, easy way to kill off some unwanted characters.
Brilliant song!
Love the song .
Definitely fits a style of gaming that is apart of Traveller .
The Traveller "feels" !
Brilliant !!
My pocket's as empty as my carbine magazine. I need credits!
would love this in a format that I could play over discord for the intro to my games. Discord doesn't mess with UA-cam anymore. :(
This was fantastic!
Amazing work!! So much atmosphere in this!
Wow Nice
Fantastic!!! Excellent work!

Video and audio are great!
CC doesn't quite match the lyrics though. :-)
Only captions option so far is the auto-generated one, which is probably why they don’t match.
where can you download this?
Nowhere as yet, but we are getting that sorted out!
Nice Voice, good melody.
It is really nice to see someone producing Traveller dedicated music.
This was dated af when it came out in 1987 and I do not particularly care for the music style/genre, but the story is good.

Fucking love this!
Is the third ship a Safari? I see the scout and the free/far trader.
I think so. The outline looks like a Safari.
I think it's a Yacht, actually.
@@HeadHunterSix you may be right.
👍
Why was she fondling the seat back? Not dusting it...that was clearly a fondle.
Piolets do love dem ships though every part equally lol
From someone who's on the road for most of each day, the seat is the most important part of your ride.
