'''Love Don't Roam''' | '''"Love Don't Roam"''' was a song playing at what would have been the wedding reception of [[Donna Noble]] and [[Lance Bennett]], had they actually gotten married. Though most of the wedding guests were dancing vigorously to the song, [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] leaned up against the bar and investigated the ownership of [[H.C. Clements]] on a stranger's cellphone. Then, as he began to actually hear the lyrics of the song, which referenced a friend vanishing, the Doctor caught a glimpse of a woman on the dance floor who reminded him of the recently-lost [[Rose Tyler]]. Quickly dismissing the emotion of the moment, he noticed the wedding photographer and began to investigate his recording of Donna's earlier disappearance during her wedding. The song continued to play until the [[Santa Claus|Santa]] [[roboform]]s began to attack to the reception hall. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'') | ||

*"Love Don't Roam" was the second original song commissioned for the revived ''Doctor Who'' series, and the first to appear | *The song was composed by [[Murray Gold]] and sung by [[Neil Hannon]]. | ||
*One line of the song | *The episode never gave the name of the song. Instead, its name was given prior to the broadcast of ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'' at the 2006 Doctor Who [[Children in Need]] Concert (also known as the "[[Music and Monsters]]" concert, after the name of the attending ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'' episode). Oddly, though this was the public debut of the song, it was sung by [[Gary Williams]] rather than Hannon. | ||
*"Love Don't Roam" was the second original song commissioned for the revived ''Doctor Who'' series, and the first to appear ''[[wikipedia:Diegesis#Film sound and music|diegetically]]'' — that is, in such a way that the characters were shown to be hearing it. Unlike the earlier "[[Song for Ten]]", then, it was not [[incidental music]], but instead an actual part of the narrative. | |||
*It was released on the [[Doctor Who: Original Television Soundtrack|the series 1 and 2 soundtrack album]], even though other music from ''The Runaway Bride'' would later appear on [[Doctor Who: Original Television Soundtrack: Series 3|the series 3 soundtrack album]]. | |||
*One line of the song included the words, "all the strange, strange creatures." This would later be used by Gold as the title for his secondary theme composition, which would also be known as the "trailer theme" for its frequent use in trailers. Thus although the series 3 soundtrack album does not include "Love Don't Roam", it does include an instrumental piece named by a lyric within "Love Don't Roam". | |||
