E.S. Posthumus - Raptamei (Luna Sans)

[juss4me123]

You know how many albums I've bought BECAUSE they are on youtube? 2 albums from Two Steps from Hell, 1 album from Audiomachine(spelling?), 1 album from E.S. Posthumus, 1 album and a single from Thomas Bergersen...just to name a few. I mean, if it wasn't for Youtube I wouldn't know who any of these people are. I wouldn't even know what epic classical (or whatever you call it) is. seriously. So, take your SOPA/antipiracy and shove it. Youtube is doing the music industry a huge favor IMHO

[simoncpu]

@ineedaherosonja Dear RIAA/MPAA: This is an example on why SOPA sucks. Your so-called "piracy" actually boosts sales.

[CyckOne]

Wow this song is, like, all up in my soul. lol

[lindadeann]

it is latin i think...but in the night come lay my love with me ....for this all is only love

[warwager100]

Its not on radio because Justin Bieber is to busy masterbating into a microphone.

[pinuttas]

@warwager100 Soo fucking true lolololo

[PaulineLovesPhysics]

@warwager100 Now how old are you?! He is very talented for his age. I don't really like his music, but he is very talented especially for his age. Thats how he became famous. You shouldn't compare him with experienced adults.

[FuckinAnik]

What language is this?

[Interioroutbreak69]

@mousaey because lady gaga and justin bieber can suck more money out of people than this can

[tsunami1994]

piri reis is not the map's name, its cartographer's name.

piri reis was a ottoman sailor, and he made the map. and his real name was piri, reis means chieftain in turkish.

[AwesomeOliver100]

I seriously I should start an instrumental radio station, Because E.S. Posthmus would be playing nonstop on it (along with other awesome composers. Hanz Zimmer anyone? :P)

[iknothatukno]

classic american lullaby songs~ I get insomnia...

E.S. Posthumus - Raptamei (Luna Sans)~ A very short coma that will last me through one night of eight hours.

[emilydanr]

in what language is she singing?

[marekiller8]

@emilydanr Dude you not bother to read the annotation?

[T42nk]

The beginning sounds very familiar, like I have it heard somewhere in classical music or some intro to a more modern musical. Has anyone a guess what it could be?

[DarkSeductions]

Ok...who just epically killed someone?

[wearerocketscientist]

i dont know why, but i cant imagine anyone composing songs like this anymore, especially not in a "modernised and advanced civilisation".

[Aelad99]

I wonder, if this invented language has grammatical rules, and if all the words in this song have specific meaning? I want to learn it, but only if it actually means anything!

[pornoactive]

true i still doesnt know what they genre, new age ? orchestra ? or what ? but all their musics score is so beautifull.

[evilracer117]

To Be honest I love Metal and rock

but i love this E.S Posthumus

i listen afternoon metal/rock and every night E.S Posthumus

[NuclearSiege]

E.S. Posthumus = GOD!

[Doughshite]

@NuclearSiege

E.S. Posthumus > god

[flipbackish]

@ineedaherosonja cdbaby aswell bro

[dixielee405]

Ugh, I am trying to write a novel, and this music keeps making my mind wonder. This is a wonderfully chilling and peaceful song. So much so, my kidnapped heroine (who needs to by panicky and scared) wants to be peaceful and serene. Oh well. i don't care, this song is too good to turn. :)

[SnortsOfHappiness]

@dixielee405 I'm trying to make a Graphic Novel, storytellers UNITE! I hope to read it soon.

Although they're all good "Nara" is my favourite day brightener.

Any way, I am sending vudu power for the cosmic forces to make your novel SUPER AWESOMe!

[dixielee405]

@SnortsOfHappiness Thanks.  =D

[56Kaio]

@SnortsOfHappiness good luk wit the novel! I'm writing 1 too. ES Posthumus scores really help get me in the mood. It's like heavenly music that breaths life into your heart and soul.

[IBiteTheHandThatFed]

@56Kaio I happen to be writing one too! And you're right: their music does get you in the mood. I listen to this song for the more..."intimate" parts of the novel. Haha. I listened to Unstoppable when I write battle scenes. So very epic!

[KingDathan]

Dammit, I'm trying to write a paper and this is making want to take a nap.

The caption was also really interesting, just goes to show we don't know everything.

[creamotic]

Tht caption was surprisingly intriguing..... Looks like there are still many mysteries of the past.....

and i hope my ideals of god not being human but different is true it could be possible that the seafarers had HELP...

[SnortsOfHappiness]

@creamotic WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH

[iLeS83]

@ineedaherosonja U can buy it on amazon.

Search for Cartographer there.. its about $30

[horrorbaraz]

Now this, this is real music

[rynam1217]

Simply put this is ''stunning and beautiful'', her voice is captivating and the arrangement is sweet chilling good!

[CatMienn]

We have a little dosage of awesomeness here

[kgskilla1]

This music really makes u think about peacefull & mello things..its amazing. I listin to sum hip-hop & rock ect. But this music is way better then anything iv ever heard. I fell in love with this music!

[PlayinFreeRealms]

I LOVE YOU NOW FOR PUTTING UP LEARN-ABLE CAPTIONS!!!YOUR THE BEST!!!

[LucianoMyths]

Ty for the caption it was pretty cool

[iLeS83]

@LucianoMyths No problem :)

[rattoh]

this songs sux

[iluvrock92]

@rattoh then why the hell are you here? dickweed

[KardashianVideos]

@rattoh wow man, fuck you. how dare you have the nerve to say this song ''sucks''. this song is so beautiful you can`t even explain it. now you sit your ass down, and continue playing your games from what i`ve seen in your channel, you`re probs some runescape or halo nerd. and i can`t even respect your opinion about this song, cuz you jus dissed it. i can`t accept that. this is real music bitch, live with it, or you could jus fuck off and stay out of it. your choice:)

[rattoh]

@KardashianVideos why do you have uploaded videos of kid girls? you must be a pedophile

[KardashianVideos]

@rattoh i am one. you may be my next victim if you don`t stfu:)

[mousaey]

Why? WHY ISN'T THIS ON THE RADIO???!!!!!

[KingdomSieger]

@mousaey /sign

[batmanpronz]

@mousaey because it's good. What radio station would play songs that cater to 0.5% of the population? The majority of people will listen to just about anything.

[receivejesusnow]

@mousaey modern music knows only lousy Lady Gaga songs and not songs like these.

[batmanpronz]

@mousaey would you put on a song if you knew all of 17 people would listen to it?

[sockmonkeydoo]

@mousaey cause the majority of society is bunch of idiots who enjoy crap

[KingdomSieger]

love the scene and the melancholy at 4:03 - 4:34 so much!

[Sweettooth1231]

I dont know why but this makes me think of a mother singing one last lullaby to her daughter...

[IHeartBrattyPets1212]

@Sweettooth1231 As she slowly turns into dust? That's the feeling I get...

[lalalalala485]

where can you buy the cd's? I really like the music!

[idza777]

This and "Isunova" are my favorite tracks on that album.

[jackwasnttheripper]

I think thats the most amazing female voice ive ever heard.

[Shijak222]

8 fuckin beiber fans

[IBiteTheHandThatFed]

@Shijak222 Its bad enough seeing those comments on Metal videos, now even when I want to relax with some ES Posthumus, children like you just HAVE to mention him. Your like the millionth person to do so. Honestly, grow up. Bieber is here and he's dominated the music industry. Get over it. He's here and hes made his mark. Just accept it for what it is and let him be. No I'm not defending him, I'm simply pissed off beyond belief when people keep mentioning him where he doesn't belong...

[RawrItsOllie]

@IBiteTheHandThatFed

WOW. A voice of reason. You must be the Youtube Messiah rofl

[albertoalga]

Qual é a tradução dessa canção para o português?

[kodrein]

absolutely wonderful...

[metaldevil]

Could have sworn I read Rape Time in the title lol...this is awesome!

[hellotelephone1]

I can picture myself floating near a sleepy seaside village. Laying in a little boat looking up at the night stars and singing to the universe above me and telling it all my hopes, secrets,and dreams.

God it's amazing what music can do :) <3

[glowel1]

And out there are blind people who listen to Lady Gaga, Tokio Hotel, Sean Paul and Robbie Williams.

Why is this music so unknown?

[michael0001able]

@glowel1 hey i cant like your comment so ,LIKE :)

[InvaderJoshua]

Nonjdaeja wah harta meh hosee keue

[elesayth]

Up till this moment, I've never listened to something bad composed by E.S. Posthumus. Great composer, great music!

[z3l24tu1]

What a awesome song it´s exactly for the moment i´m feeling now . An empthy hearth needs a big and funny hold. That´s the reason I´m trying to forget you Lucia cause now I can´t feel you anymore.

[algildea]

Please, do the next Bond theme. Epic, gorgeous, sumptuous, voluptuous...

[VioletTeen17]

Are all the names of these songs in Latin? 

[sataridis]

@VioletTeen17 no. for instance "nara" is a japanese location.... "extremoz" a portuguese location...

[MnTDrAg0N]

@VioletTeen17 no some of the song names are names of cities or places.

[VioletTeen17]

Thank you for the history :) I found it really interesting, really I did :D

[Maresihn]

maravillosa... simplemente ... maravillosa

[Wiercik90]

i can' t find any word describing beauty of post humus melodies....

[rupron]

ES MARAVILLOSOO!

Q BELLA MUSICA!

[larisonqisla]

its like listening to ancient voices...

[testigo09]

Lost?

[VoodooFingerz]

@ohthatsfunny133 possibly a citation? that sounds really pretentious.

[lordsanshine]

as i remember it were 600 years. not 6000

[FireCrystalPhoenix]

The thought of being serenaded with this....oooo. Ok,self deep breaths,calm down,calm down...

[minigarvi]

one of the most beautiful songs of Posthumus. I recommended listen also ANTISSA from their album unearthed...

[sunraysofdawn]

wow...tried to find some words, but ......=))))

[Jon0001]

Its so peaceful and yet sad almost like daunting hope, my mind may not understand the lyrics but my heart does. I think this is one of those songs where you have to feel the meaning in order to comprehend it xD a very beautiful song

[BigFreakingCacodemon]

@Jon0001 Well said my friend, well said

[ConanVictor]

sublime... amazing... awesome!

[fenzonima]

what language is the vocals?

[iLeS83]

Numanian.. if you wanna know more about this just read the note in the video :)

[leananshae]

@fenzonima per one of the producers/composers, Helmut Vonlichten: "Numanian is a Latin derivative and, therefore, sounds similar to many of the Romance languages. The use of a secret language encourages the listener to engage their own imagination and, thereby, create a unique personal interpretation."

[Petropeppo]

Beaitiful Music!!!!

[MIICHEMI]

Wow.. Its beautiful.

[marcusunlimited]

If you love this, and yes E S Posthumus is great be SURE to look for Edward Elgar's Nimrod or anything from the Enigma Variations.

[Criss19881988]

Didn't heared this one yet. Sounds beautifull as the rest.

[crocellll]

jaja yeah the first few sec of the song I am reminded of lion king when his dad dies.

[desolous15]

why am I reminded of the lion king?

[MIICHEMI]

Loll, idk, but all the matters is that The Lion King rocks. x) ooh and this song does, too.

[japanesesen]

SO... BEAUTIFUL.........!!

[GMODCREATOR]

Awsome, good upload man

[eblynjm]

aND HOW WE CAN LEARN NUMANIAM?

[FinancialProdigy202]

wow good music

[mcridiculose]

are all the music titles for the m in latin?

[Eddie141250]

Ich liebe diese MUsic...... ahhhhhhhhhh :-)))))

[Lymi86]

It's a very interesting part of Human Being History. It's a pity that we've lost most of this knowledge. Thank you for share it.

[Sisifo2011]

Thanks for the Piri Reis Map reference

[iLeS83]

No problem ;) it's just the info on their website :P

[Puziii]

Love it

[TouchMyGelion]

♥

[ClairaEvenson67]

*before

not better

[ClairaEvenson67]

Oh man! Where have i heard this song better?

[Fireflygirl119]

Is this latin?

[iLeS83]

This is Numanian...

wrote by E.S. Posthumus: "We have created a language unique to them and tell stories through song that describe their creation, discoveries and ultimate demise."

[DagmarWeb]

beautiful, romantic and very relaxing. i love E.S Posthumus

[moonlightblue99]

this CD is so expensive

[SR71pilot2007]

the CD's prolly expensive because the music would be difficult to think up...i mean an entire orchestra...gotta pay the record company through CD payment, the lady with the super-hot voice has to be paid, as well. and the music is just so awesome

[projectparadiso]

if this word comes from word "raptum" then raptamei mean elaption, rapture.... :) anyway it`s great :)

[azira031184]

what does it mean....

[ShadowAngelicus1323]

Anybody have a free download link for this?

[cavymeisie]

Hey, shadowangelicus.

you can download these songs with a special program: ''free youtube to mp3 converter''. It ripps the music from youtube and it converts it in good quality.

[bluekarma4]

Why not buy it and give the artist some credit?

[cavymeisie]

I don't know where i can get the CD... i have searched some stores but they don't have it.

[Demolyte]

amazon should have it

I got mine in an independent record store in my town, but amazon usually has everything

[iLeS83]

I edited the video info. The language you hear is a Latin derivative "Numanian"

[Obnavo]

WOW, wasn't that supoused to be a dead language?

[adorima]

btw, guys, as far as I know 'dead language' means that a language isn't being used as a native tongue any longer, not that it's not being used. Consequently, because a dead language is not being used as a native tongue, the meaning of words do not change.

I tried looking everywhere for a comprehensive explanation on the definition of dead language and Latin. I guess my researching skills need brushing up because all I encountered were 'rehashings' of wikipedia, save the Vatican's website.

[hostclub17]

woaaah... it's not a lang!. ?

woaaaah..!!! that's such a shocker for me lol

i thought it was latin :))..

stupid ol' me :P

[misswings83]

At one point in the song it sounds like Norwegian. "Værra me" haha. Their music is great by the way. Awesome.

[VICKARD]

that language... might be latin, or esperanto...

[Hiro24NK]

This is Italian? o How Wonderful the Song is amazing

[GuhBukSan]

Apparently its a fictional language that ES Posthumus uses for their songs. Its probably based on latin and a few other languages

[MoonIMover]

Because there is no better way to infuse your work with great meaning than to make sure no-one can tell what it is!

[pavelelchinocorro]

well i can see a little but just a little of my lenguage i mean spanish o spañol para el que lo hable but againg just a little.

[fiveoclockz]

i think it is Latin but it sounds cool anyway!

[hostclub17]

oh whew! I just founded out that you can only buy it in da interent :P nyehehehehhehe

[hostclub17]

CRAP! ,, you can only buy it in US? that sucks >.>

[MIZZIJR]

lol, there is always Ebay

[666Mariko666]

or amazon?

[fadstar14]

Nah, amazon takes ages.. My sister orederd a book from there once, it took like almost 3 months, she promised herself she'd never buy anything from there again xD

[666Mariko666]

yeah, and sometimes they don't even send at all (though they give back your money quickly...)

but lets stup talking about amazon.

Lets just enjoy this beautiful music...

[Sulk3355]

thanks you for uploading

[309633246]

Fantastic! Lovely! Amazing! Can't think of the right word to say for this song!

[germanicus24]

Wow, otra persona del cono sur fan de E.S. Posthumus XD

[cragxe]

the world owes them nothing... and they shall recieve there just reward, just as every one else will.

[ConcreteSky21]

Notice why i use the word DESERVE and not OWE.

Deserving something can come from someone willing to give anything they want.

Owing something to someone imply a relation of power which i never implied.

They do deserve a lot from this world.. the world owe them nothing.. but a lot of good souls will probably find it in their heart to support them in any way they wish.. be it thoughts alone.

Please do not convey to my words a meaning different than what it really is

[HotaruZoku]

Well said.

[infantryhawk]

is this page not updated from the beta stage? there are no thumbs up or down? whats up with that?

[FluffyOpossum]

silent cartographer...

[infantryhawk]

yeah theres a reseblence but it could be alot closer

[Feldoom]

Very relaxing.

[Shadowtrigger25]

i love every one of their songs. I have to buy Cartographer like...immediately! ^___^

[Verify110]

Where can you buy it? X-ray dog is not open to the public, Two Steps From Hell is impossible to find so im wondering if that too, is closed to the public. Im hope E.S. Posthumus isn't closed.

[Lauli55]

iTunes

You can buy stuff from them.

[Shadowtrigger25]

well i know my mom bought Unearthed from some store, but that was a few years ago, so idk where it is now. i've looked for Cartographer everywhere, but never found it

[ukwarriorz]

Its mainly in Europe...I have heard its painfully pathetic to try to look for it in America.. ;/ but thats all i know..so tell me right if i have the facts wrong.

[Shadowtrigger25]

Well yeah, I believe Cartographer isn't anywhere to be seen or found here in America, but my mom found Unearthed somewhere, i guess she ordered it online, but that was a while back.

[9903346]

Can't you get it online pretty easily?

[BigMTBrain]

cdbaby in the US.

[Shadowtrigger25]

i love every single one of their songs. i have to buy Cartographer immediately ^__^

[sasyd]

it beautiful music that you can sit back and relax
