I miss this show ! Forget lost forget everthing that came before BSG And music just classic .Could watch the DVD's but whats the point ! i'm Pretty sure there was a least two more seasons .There was more story's to be told .Starbuck god if there was a story there they could make it in to a show on it's own!
Just get the DVDs. The "point" is everything. You missed an incredible show. It's fully available (hopefully online, by mail). You can get it cheaply on Amazon (by the Season -- there were 4). It's worth it. Trust me.
The show, and the music, is so eerie and always struck something very deep inside me. BSG showed that we all have a common origin, whether here or "out there.' Bear M knows how to portray that.
It's Armenian. The language of the title sequence is Vedic Sanskrit, which is an Indo-European language and used as a basis for, among others, the northern Hindic languages.
But most of the languages I've mentioned have something in common with the root language of Indo - European, from Turkish to Armenian to Russian to Iranian / Sanskrit / Hindi / Urdu, correct ? Incorrect ? I'm curious, I have to admit.
Turkish is from the separate Altaic family, but what you might be thinking of is Proto-Indo-European. It's a language that supposedly is the mother of those languages and quite a few more. Though, its existence has yet to be proven and remains only a linguistical construct.
Does he use words / phrases from the sacred texts of other traditions, like the Mantra at the beginning of the BSG theme ? Anyhow, I'm LOVIN' this, even if I can't find it on CD yet.
Bear McCreary and Raya Yarborough (the singer) recently got engaged, just as Bear finished composing his final musical cue for the series... Congrats to him.
They need to put this concert out on DVD, or at least have some live cuts of it on the rumored multi-disc set for the Season 4 soundtrack.
The lyrics to this song are in Armenian, which is a difficult language to pronounce, much less sing, and also a very very old language, in keeping with Bear's tendency to write lyrics in ancient languages like Sinhalese, Sanskrit, and Old English.
I have all the current BSG soundtracks and listen to them constantly, but to have been at the show would've been monumental.
BSG (reimagined) is one of the best-written, acted and filmed shows to ever grace our screens and the music complements it so beautifully that it's unimaginable without it. So say we all!
Yes, it was truly amazing and unlike any concert experience I've ever had. The venue was really small and intimate and everyone there was completely into it. If another one comes around you have to be there. I definitely will ;-)
I definitely hope they decide to do another concert! Although, the Roxy isn't exactly the best venue acoutics-wise for this type of music. I'd love to see it performed in a more fitting setting to really showcase the sound!
beautiful-beautiful-beautiful song.
greetings from Canada.
p.s I think it`s Armenian

Probably early Hindi or one of the Indo - European languages / dialects. There are only about a million of them !!

Didn't know that. I'm surprised he didn't work in a Korean folk song like " Arirang ". Nobody's really sure of its significance.

It's on the Season 3 soundtrack. First track. Not precisely this version, but essentially the same.

Like I said in another post, Bear McCreary & Raya have a new fan in TN ! A pity that they probably won't get down here.
Sounds like they can make a joint rock, baby !!
