Battlestar Galactica Final Five/Four Theme (Updated Version)

[Randseed2]

You suck.

[Phamster92]

@Randseed2 Your girlfriend's nipples. :)

[Gnomechewer]

It's in the frrraakkin' youtubes!

[Lorkis06]

Hey... You are a Cylon, and do not pretend you're not, we know it now!

[Joanniethama]

Hi does neone kno where I can find the freetoplay Battlestar Galactica Multiplayer game at?

[darts421]

is there sheet music to this?

[titanium0909]

@Phamster92 most accurate version on youtube by far. good job.

[BIXBDUX]

Interesting variation: The #s assigned to Kara's part were 12365365321. But you have a 16th note flutter at the end to make it 123653653 (2-3-2) 1. Is that really how she played it?

[felloffthebus]

thanks for the tutorial, you da man

[drzart178st]

f*cking love the sound of your panio. so pure!! omg i just creamed my pants

[Underbyte0000]

excellent. Could you offer midi sometime?

[CrypticWatcher]

Stupid song stuck in my head, oh frak.....

[runessword]

I love this. I keep skipping to 4:02 and listening to the piano.

[leakingpencil]

YAMAHA = jealous

[maluse227]

isnt this all along the watchtower

[Frizzi95]

Thank you from Iceland for this awesome song! That was incredible, man

[thebunge]

that's great! i really need to get a piano...i have a good ear and love what the instrument can do...great job! BATTLESTAR FOREVER KARA THRACE ETC ETC

[atokad33]

i really like this video and the way you teach this is wonderful!!!

do you think it would be at all possible for me to persuade you to write down the sheet music for yur vesrion and send it to me? i am teaching myself to play the piano and i would like some sheet music to look at in order to get a better feel for the song...

please reply idf that is at all possible

[00732811]

WHAT THE FRAcK !!!! awesome !!!!!

[spdrfx]

absolute 'earing! greetz from hungary !

[rawveganorg]

The composer of this song has some peaces of this sonata in sheet music on his blog: bearmccreary dddoot com/blog/?p=1598

[FerngullyBeth]

@Martolly

a) Some of us can't pick it up by ourselves and like stuff like this.

b) the song IS in here, if you would stop posting dumb comments and wait the few extra minutes

c) Comments like that are unnecessary - it's YouTube, if this video isn't what you're looking for, try another video. There might, MIIIIGHT be other people posting videos on this new fandangled website.

@Phamster92: I love your version of this song. I listen to it all the time.

[thhall459]

I really DO appreciate and enjoy what you have done! Bravo! I can't thank you enough! I assume you had to work it out by ear because the sheet music is not available. Is that correct! Thank you!

[BigBadChief1337]

Frakkin' awesome work. Nice addition with the whole finger blow thing :D

[MrKillercheese101]

wow dude nice send me the link to other songs plz

[Mwinoh]

Is there anyway you can write the song down on sheet music and post it online? Ive been trying to play the song through your videos but its easier if its on sheet music.

[gary83uk]

This sounds nothing like the the final five theme.

[Sleepinglily]

LOL Frakin better version.

[Pynchon1980]

Great job spot on

[veganviola]

Sheet music in pdf pretty please! Just message me a link.

[viktorgraphics]

This version is the Best!!!

[mccomby]

Is there a way of getting the piano sheet music for this?

[fatsterfatster]

Cylon!!!

[MrBoffJoe]

Get it on here please!! We are dying here!

[ultrasonicoed]

Frakking Good !!!

[TheMattvd1]

awtshum

[Phamster92]

Also, I've gotten in the BSG mood after listening to Bear McCreary's Dark Void OST, which by the way if you haven't listen to you should. So, I think I might just do another interpretation of the "Kara Remembers." Hopefully, the time I've spent away from it will keep a new interpretation fresh.

[Phamster92]

Good news, I have gotten the final five song in mp3 format. Now, can some of you give me a site where I can upload it for you guys?

[MrBoffJoe]

@Phamster92

You are AWESOME! Try Rapidshare, it is free. Just be sure to post the link here!

Thanks Dude, again, your awesome.

[Morganator777]

A freaking men. I have to download this version.

Hey Phamster92! I was wondering, could you post up a version .wav format for the audiophiles such as myself? We'd really like a version without all the compression. Thanks! :)

[enix2k6]

Use "multiupload" i cant post the link i think because youtube doesn't allow links but just Google it, it free and will host/mirror the file across 8 file hosting sites for free, just be sure to check all of the boxes at the bottom. then all you need to do is post one link on the side bar and it will show all the sites its mirrored on.

[kapgankgn]

@Phamster92 pleease send me via e-mail

or at least give me a rapidshare link or smth

[kagglebagel]

i loooove you i've been trying to figure this out

thanks so much!!!!

[lucasiscool209]

Gaeta you are awesome

[Phamster92]

Ok. There will be no duet version. I can't get anyone who knows how to play the piano on the horn. I know I promised and I'm sorry. However, I will post the mp3 up in the middle of the upcoming week because I have the whole week off. I thank everyone for looking at this video and I apologize for pissing some people off.

[stoker48]

@Phamster92 why not just make the duet with yourself? gods bless modern technology. you can record both and just mix em with whatever you use to edit your vids.

[Phamster92]

If you would have listened, this is a semi-instructional video for people who semi-know how to play the piano. I figured out the correct (i think) key signature by ear and thought some people would like the basic know-how on how to play the song. If you want to hear the song, just search for the version on the season 4 soundtrack; I'm sure someone posted it up on youtube. THank you.

[MetalGuitarTimo]

lol u suck kiddy. we want him to talk about what he does.

[AnotherSchmoe]

Your voice sounds like Gaeta, lol. Great job! =)

[drinkyoupretty]

Frakkin genius.

[kurokoson]

So awesome man.

This song single handedly embodies every thing I would love to play on the piano. (style wise)

[Gallonigher]

PLEEEEEASE Post an MP3 of you playing a full version of this. This is going to the top of my iPod playlist when you make it.

[thereaper15999]

mine too

[Verku3120]

Hi, go figure why BSG fans and good piano players don't know the original composion:

Philip Glass, metamorphosis 1, if i remember correct it was composed in end of the 80's...

[askanison9]

This is not metamorphosis. The whole final 5 song and all it's variations are from Bob Dylan/Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower".

[sniper11789]

are u bear mcrearys son?

[nekrad23]

@sniper11789 maybe he's a copy if bear ... thats why we shouldnt see his face ;-)

[raoulhery]

u must be kara's dad!!!

[YTspider321]

@raoulhery

i agree, this guy is now officially dubbed karas dad

[Midfrost1]

Wow, I'm super impressed! This is the single best imitation of the piano version I've ever heard! Massive props (even for your own addition)! :)

[norppisi]

great playing :)

[iLeS83]

Loved it!! rly nice version :D

[dustech]

Your fucking awesome... love this video... and love the performance.

Good job ;)

[EtaCarinae1751]

Sheet music, please. :-)

[Status001]

Agreed........You promised...

[Phamster92]

College Apps have been kicking my ass, but I am now done with all my apps. I know it has been way overdue, but I the only time I am am going to have any time to do a longer or duet version of this song is during my christmas break. So, consider it a christmas gift and an apology for taking so damn long.

Also, I might be adding in some other songs from the Season 4 Soundtrack as well, so hang in there.

[jj120]

Longer version please... AMAZING in one word..

[gonereallyfunny]

BRAVO! BRAVO!

Excellent!!!

[thereaper15999]

Dude u play the piano beautifuly... I love this song especially the piano version

[TheHateAllGuy]

i like your teaching style thx

[DjDigitalvideodisc]

oh please will you make a full version as i wish to take a few samples and make a now song with your piano version

cheers

[kuikuiloiseau]

Dude YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT WHERE IS THE LONGER VERSION???!!!

NOBODY CAN WAIT!!!!!

:)

cheers and thank you so much for this amazing moment!!!

[imkatwoman]

Thanks so much!

[neptomish]

Dude, Come on already, WHEN ARE YOU POSTING THE LONGER VERSION? Its been almost 8 MONTHS. What more do you want? Dude, I think Im speaking for alot of people. I HAVE 2 jobs & College, Finish what you started and post it, We love you man, but enough is enough. If you or others feel I am out of line, then Flame away at me, but I think I am being fair in my wording. Thank you for a great video, I sleep to this song every night.

[Dilly250515]

Think I speak for quite a few ppl when I say you are not out of line. This version of the song is so awesome, and Phamster's take is the best online. But I feel like I've been cock-teased long enough. I can't play the piano and make something this beautiful...but you can and you have promised a better version. You need to deliver, simply because you can. Otherwise it's wasted talent

[Phamster92]

I know, and I am so sorry for "cock-teasing" all of you guys. I'll get a longer version online and I'll even through in a piano version of Gaeta's theme( a favorite of mine) as well. So, please just hang in there.

[Dx206]

Keep up the good work. I´ll love to see a piano version of "Gaeta´s Lament" and final five theme as a christmas gift xD

[Phamster92]

Count on it.

[UpsizeThis]

Absolutely fantastic!

A longer version would be fantastic.

[Gallonigher]

I WANT AN MP3 OF YOU PLAYING THIS SONG!

Special extra long extended version for going to sleep to plz thx?  o:

[pat1981lux]

you are a good pianist. this is not easy to play

[klappyman]

the only negative thing i have to say about this vid or rather the last bit is that it is too short. I want more :)

[kittyloco]

hey, can you make up some sheet music and send it to me? 

Thanks,

kl

[neptomish]

Dude, your the Man!

[zakfmt]

song starts at 3:19

[limatedo]

that was kickass keep up the good work

[dtleo]

NICE

[dtleo]

DAMN, that was hott! create an MP3 already!

[Charls337]

Congratulations! That's a wonderful version

[DarthRive3]

ur so fucking badass DUDE. I LOVE THIS SONG U ROCK!

[Bateseh]

The piece you play at the end of this video is amazing.. You're really fluent and talented!

[Phamster92]

Hi, all. I am sorry that I have not been on, but senior year and college applications are really taking up my time. I'll try to get the mp3 and possibly a duet version of the song up by the end of the month. But, I'll definitely get the mp3 up by October. Thanks to everyone who has been waiting.

[padzter]

thanks man, you're a genius :)

[neptomish]

Any chance your going to update this (make it longer), and put up that mp3? Yours is the better version.

[Mousanation]

I cant escape this song!!!!! My gods! Im humming it so much these days.

All i know is I can wait for Caprica to come out!!!

[gamete]

Any chances of this amazing rendition having sheet music?

[cbassig75]

One word describes this song for me. Haunting.

[MermaidRane]

based on what i can hear the two songs are the same notes but theres something different than your... Actually idk which one i like better :D Im SOOOOO Favoriting this so I can play like that :D

[ChaosNate19]

This was awsome...but i got to say the song became more serene as the song goes on and less creepy like it was in BSG, but its still the greatest theme eveer!!!

[baritari]

Man your the greatest im trying to figure out these chords since i saw the episode,,, REAL GRATITUDE

[MysteriousBox12]

U DID THE GUN THING AT THE END, u truelyy know bsg SO SAY WE ALL lol

[Morganator777]

THAT was AWESOME! No "ifs", "ands" or "buts"! This version is really good! I really want to have a copy in .wav format!

[DaemonPanda]

That's starwars not galatica model :c

[Morganator777]

Actually, it's a Cylon model from the original series!

[DaemonPanda]

Oh my, you're correct. They're so similar though! Which was based first?

[MasterChief802]

I hope you're kidding. Because that most certainly is a Clone Trooper XD

[DaemonPanda]

You have to look at the helmet, which is slightly different.

[MasterChief802]

lol no.

That is a clone trooper and a half.

[volomir3]

Please, release this on mp3!! I just bought season 4 soundtrack to get my hands into kara's song... and I prefer your version to the one bear mcreary did!!! man, you're awesome. still waiting for the full version

[pastoremmett98]

Trying to patiently wait for the full version!!! This is awesome please post if you could the full version!!!!

[janejordan85]

This is the best version on you tube by far! simply amazing. Cheers from Italy ;)

[AresVallis]

Nice touch with the blowing your finger 8D

[randomdave]

amazing, MP3! as below

[dapyle11]

Still looking forward to hearing the lengthened version with the duet :)

[enix2k6]

Once again the week has come and gone and no mp3... = ( hope you get up this week.

[starwillf6]

amazing if u did this by ear

XD some people are just meant to play music

i salute u my friend

[marcomalpelo]

So say we all...

[ShakelFilms]

I think I need a piano now... I have to learn this song like yesturday!!!

[Phamster92]

Oh my god, I am so sorry I haven't uploaded just the song to youtube. Seriously, it'll be up this week.

[LackingCommonSense]

Ugh you make me want to crawl back on my piano again instead of my guitar... Wish I could play like this!!

[enix2k6]

Upload the video here in HD and people who want it as a MP3 can use " tunenabber " Google it since i cant post a direct URL it will be the first result in Google. That site rips the audio only off of youtube videos and give it to you as a MP3. You can do the same and host the video rip the mp3 and upload it where ever you want to just have the mp3 only.

[Phamster92]

Ok, I've been trying to find something that can split audio and video for an MP4. Anybody have any ideas?

[Jerrycosyweegirl]

Use Quicktime pro. Think it is something like $15 for the Windows or Mac version and is spot on for all these little tasks.

[mmistroff]

Come on with that mp3!

[JoeSlayer]

the finger blow at the end won my sub

the last version you played was so frakkin amazing wow

[TheYancal]

Still waiting for the mp3 version :( Would be so nice to hear it at work with my mp3 player (and again and again and again)

try rapidshare to upload the file

[Phamster92]

I"m still trying to find something to split mp4 video and audio.

[TheYancal]

try virtualdub (freeware) open the video, klick "file", "export", "raw audio" and choose mp3 as format

[fargold]

Tio. No se si sabes castellano, pero que sepas que eres una maquina!! genial!

[OmalleyDoc]

Holy Hannah, the additions you made sound awesome!

[Mitsimad]

You should totally write the music for this!

[steroidmaximus888]

just a revision of Along the watchtower, just a revision of Beethovan's ninth

[Dilly250515]

"Just" doesn't apply to anything this beautiful, hope you learn that one day

[theprimal68]

Simpsons did it!

[chuckfuss]

why not upload die mp3 with a blank video to youtube?

there is a lot of good software to catch the sound part of flv videos (wich is mp3) from youtube.

for exapmle "free download manager" or else.

(by the way, this is not meant as any kind of ad)

i think it's a bit easyer. you don't have to care for webspace and everyone is available to get it easy.

[Phamster92]

Expect an mp3 upload this week.

[Phamster92]

I'm heading off to Bakersfield this weekend, but I'll try to get an mp3 up soon enough next week.

P.S. I don't upload much, so do you guys have a site in mind where I could upload the mp3?

[dimgl19]

my favorite song now!

[mbnp1701]

great, i love your additions to the original version!

[Sloppy998]

nice job!

[sophycake]

everytime i hear this version, i get chills. You've done Bear justice in this rendition (i enjoyed your extra part!). Keep up the good work! Can't wait for an mp3 version of this :)

[366125053]

very nice i love that song

[phatteebuttz]

Can someone explain to me how the original BSG theme and All Along The Watchtower fit in?

What's the music that Starbuck punches in for the last jump? What's the music that activates the final four? What's the music that's playing when Sam flies the fleet into the sun?

[monkeyfied]

The music Starbuck hears and the music that activates the final four are both All Along the Watchtower, Bear McCreary style.

The Colonial Anthem was playing when Sam flew into the sun, if I remember correctly. It is was a nod to the original series.

[Brathar]

Awesome job on the song, mate!

[kyotocanuck]

Just discovered this today and I love what you've done with the song. Really looking forward to the duet. Thanks for posting this.

[JuanSolorzanoArts]

Excellent vid!

Whenever this song is played - you are really dialing the coordinates to Earth! So you can't ever get lost.... :D

[rpgmaker]

Wow, this one is beautiful in its own right. Have to say it doesn't have much resemblance to this one: watch?v=31LLTrFkTAY but I don't know if that's the version you are going for.

Good job :)

[screamwriter1]

The actor who taught the music was not her dad it was the dead Danial from IMDB. In case you are into those sort of titbits.

[VirulentShadow]

No. It was stated many times by the creators that "Slick" was a hallucination of Kara's father, Dreiide, and not Daniel. In fact, they talk about how they just wanted to put Daniel in to fill in more of the backstory, and were taken off guard when people became obsessed with seeing Daniel in everything.

[sven0110]

HORRIBLE

[Phamster92]

Oh well. :(

[Circus28chimp]

at least your constructive with your critisum

[Phamster92]

Just hold on guys, mp3 will be up soon!

[yellowmaster]

Cool. What about the promised lenghtened duet version ?:)

[Phamster92]

It's coming. I'm still trying to balance out schoolwork, finals, and stuff. So, I promise that the Mp3 and the "special version" will be up and I am so sorry it's taking this long. Thanks!

[kinjol]

can you give us a guess on when?

[Phamster92]

Early June. My finals end in late May and early June.

[steemsdis]

your version is the best out there... give us a shorter one, with just the music please!

P.S. love the blowing on the finger, a fitting tribute... bring in the cat!

[murrayp4]

Excellent I miss BSG :-(

[sg15z]

Don't we all? :(

[steemsdis]

impressive, most impressive!

[user3559]

very cool

[Furyofaseraph]

I like what you've done with the concept. I enjoy how you expanded on it to get a just-different-enough melody but still rooted in the same feel. I hope you produce a full-length song based off of it, maybe with more than just a piano (perhaps a few of the cultural instruments that Bear McCreary used).

[lookitskazzy]

imo it doesn't sound right.. it's not low enough. not sure if that's the best way to put it, i'm no musician

[Phamster92]

Well, I couldn't put it any lower without the risk of the song sounding muddled, but thanks for the suggestion.

[mikemo08]

is there a way you can make it to where we can download your version of this song where its just piano its completely epic gives me chills everytime i listen to it

[Chricton]

Yeah it's just the type of piano. Play these same notes on my grandmas old Gulbransen that hasn't been tuned since the 70's and its sounds identical to the show.

You really need to do some sort of overhand version of the complete playthourgh in teh latter half (or sheets). Unless you can play by ear, the angle makes it almost imposible to nail down to correct keys without a ton a trail and errer. Regardless this is easily the best version you can find online :)

[mickquick01]

my ringtone... it will always remember me Battlestar Galactica..i miss BSG...

Thanks Phamster

[IceFire1800]

I've officially got the initial tone they hear stuck in my head. seriously, I'll whistle it every know and then...maybe im a cylon (AWESOME!)

¬¬

-

[KeljornIronfist]

i love this it's a great video to learn from can you PLEASE, PLEASE Put this into sheet music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its frakkin' great

[herroy2006]

So awesome! Can you either post an MP3 or the sheet music? Ugh, I love it!

[mappalazarou]

I take it there's no mp3 of your achievement lying around anywhere, my good man?

[Phamster92]

There soon shall be.
