When you are reading the Dark Tower books do you see Roland and the others as traveling ...
Right to left
Left to right
Foreground to background (away from you)
Background to foreground (towards you)
Any combinations of the above or maybe even through another vantage point.

But this isn't reserved for the Dark Tower books only.
And i have no idea why this is so |

Never really thought about it but I guess moving forward (and I feel like I am part of the group)

Are you referring to the points of movement in terms of films? I’ve read and watched stuff about it, left to right displays formality and a sense of progression, right to left displays uncomfortableness and a sense of confusion or foulness, moving away from the camera shows a character becoming weaker or less important, and movin towards the camera shows power and importance being gained. |

I am simply interested in how you perceive the movement in your imagination while reading.
I will post my viewing and reasoning for asking after a few more folks post.

Yap, quoting myself. I don`t know the whole TDT story but that intro gave me goosebumps. |

Hey, you might like this next vid Frank,
the Sun just showed it to me a little while ago.
He said it reminded him of the Dark Tower.
I liked it.
....it made me think back to the old SKMB when me and John and other's were thinking up songs for the Dark Tower, Lady spideyman . |

Not sure if this has been discussed on the board elsewhere, but this audio dramatization of the Dark Tower is gathering momentum and Season One is expected to premier in mid to late 2022.

Looks like an amazing project.
I've heard this song before, but without this video.
Can't wait for this. |

I'm not 100% sure:
Does "No quarters" mean, No Prisoners, show no mercy or clemency ?

I'm not 100% sure:
Does "No quarters" mean, No Prisoners, show no mercy or clemency ? A victor gives no quarter when the victor shows no clemency or mercy and refuses to spare the life in return for the surrender at discretion (unconditional surrender) of a vanquished opponent. |

I didn´t know that.
The singer of Blind Guardian, is a big SK Fan.
Blind Guardian is a German power metal band formed in the 1980 ies.
In Blind Guardian Hansi wrote a great deal of songs about The Dark Tower, and although the other members didn't share his passion for the series, agreed to produce some of the songs. "Carry The Blessed Home" (from A Twist in the Myth) is about Jake's Eulogy. "Somewhere Far Beyond" (from Somewhere Far Beyond) is an overview of the series.
It should also be noted that Blind Guardian has done other tributes to work by Stephen King such as "Tommyknockers" and "Guardian of the Blind" (based on It).
I came from far
Beyond Your reality
The ocean of time
It's the odysee of mine
I am the narrator
And now I'll tell You
Where I've been
And what I saw
And how it ends
Welcome to the wasteland
In a world which is turning faster
Where I'm alone for a while
It's turning faster
Away from light straight to the dark
The march of time it has begun
I'm caught in an ancient dream so bright
And then the march of time begins
The man in black he waits
Behind this last task
It's full of pain
To sacrifice the only son
The legions of the lost
Wait in the old mine
They try to stop me
The battle it has begun
So I'm not afraid
To walk down to the wasteland
I'm so alone on my way
And I don't fear that dusty god forsaken path
Somewhere far beyond
Chorus:
Somewhere far beyond
The march of time it has begun
Somewhere far beyond your reality
And then the march of time begins
Look at my soul
And behind
There are some things
I've to hide from You
I'm following the black man
I'm losing control
And I don't care
What's happening to the boy
Welcome to the new world
One more step to the dark tower
And my whole body's in flames
I'm looking for Those healing things to be prepared
The march of time it has begun
I'm caught in a prisoner's dirty life
And then the march of time begins
The prisoner did bring the healing spell
The queen of shadows found herself in pain
And death brings answers to us all
What will I find
When the dark tower appears
Will it be the end
Or just a new quest after all
I am the narrator
And now I'll tell You
Where I'd been
And what I saw
And how it ends
Chorus
Look around and see
The world is turning fast
Faster day by day
Somewhere far beyond
I'll try to change it
If I can - Somewhere far beyond
There's only one chance
And it lies - Somewhere far beyond
Somewhere far beyond
The march of time it has begun
The march of time it has begun
