The Best Video Game Theme Music Ever! (Baba Yetu) Just Won Grammy Award!!!

[ENTERUSERNAMEHERE555]

Halo theme is better, but this is good. The elder scrolls also has great music

[TheUnlockable1]

It feels like im in the Lion King musical

[MrKaukop]

Sounds like it should be in a Cirque Du Soleil show!

[ellewein1]

sounds famillier for me

[ellewein1]

i dont know but whats the copy? try liste climbing up iknimaya

[620848justin]

beautiful i cried listening to this good work

[S1deshowRobP5]

I still prefer the AC2 theme but this is pretty amazing

[TheShootHappy]

@Youkickmydog1988 Y U THINK DIS?! COD SONGS PWNZ DOSE!!!

seriously though, have you ever heard the halo 2 theme song? its, how shall i describe it... oh yes, FREAKIN EPIC.

[DragonFox84]

@TheShootHappy alot of video game songs are freakin epic and wtf is with your ghetto sentence there?

[TheShootHappy]

@DragonFox84 the "Y U THINK DIS"? i dont know to be honest, it was really funny at 03:00 (24h mode) after a long day of hard work...

[TheShootHappy]

Very good song, however, I think that the halo 2 theme song ( think its called mjolnir mix) is way better... they're different types of songs tho, so its fairly hard to compare them.

[inceptionsd]

Civilization VI

[CWallace379676]

1:OPEN A NEW TAB

2:TYPE VIRTUAL THUNDERSTORM (FIRST ONE)

3:SKIP TO 8:00 AND VOLUME TO HALF

4:GO BACK AND PLAY

5:LISTEN TO EPICNES

THUMPS UP IF IT IS BETTER

[CCTV9]

@callofduty497

A better alternative would be to search rainymood. Play that with this song or any song.

[lpbug]

this song alone= epic

this song with virtual thunder= epic x5

[njaothuku]

naipenda hii

[xxcobraxvenomxx]

i like it but not when making an uc2 montage or bf or cod montage

[Blizaros]

I hope one day video games will be considered as a real art and gamers as normal persons

[hurlingstar1]

This song made my day.

[xgensean]

you know i always thaot it was Halo Music not resently but the first 3 games

[aznmaplemaster]

when the musical notes gradually increases like a dance, this progression taps into our human instinctive nature to progress upward, foward, better, stronger, faster, etc etc. and therefore it relates to everyone as 'inspirational'

[northwestcore]

@callofduty497 that was totally awesome, thanks! :D

[nigahiga001010]

By the way if you guys didnt know. This is the Lords Prayer in Swahili

[Kaliningrad92]

@nigahiga001010 See the info section, it's all there!

[Judg3m3nt]

I find it funny that most people get irritated when someone mentions religion but when you put it to music and change the language they suddenly find it soothing. I am glad that this music is helping people relax and be more open minded, it is very relaxing (although for video games I usually prefer fast paced orchestral scores)

[1993TRS1]

I can't stop listening to this

[1993TRS1]

I haven't even played this game, and this song is AMAZING!

[blackdog4372]

This song rocks so I wonder if the video game is good too!

[64thev9]

best song of all time, you mean

[Grrymjo]

It's a great song. A perfect one to listen before launching nukes on infidels.

[cheeser0]

@Grrymjo LOL Hahahaha that cracked me up XD

[ScopiNDoMes]

i heard this on the xbox version from one of the villages, wasnt the full version though

[oliveoyl64]

i'm not even a gamer but love this song.

[blizzard279]

It makes you feel like theres nothing wrong with the world, every things at peace

[brighamman0]

"Baba Yetu Yetu Yetu , Baba Yetu Yetu Yetu Yetu,...." (8)

[toxicwaste08300]

this is my first time hearing this is a lovelly song

[SittingNowhere]

Excellent theme! Extremely relaxing.

[Puertoricanlegacy]

how is this video game music? sounds like the intro to the jungle book movie.

[kisiel5577]

It's... Beatifull! The world is... Ehh

[ludovicoariosto84]

It is a grammy nominee in 2011!!!

[TheRealBSquared]

5 people are racist...

towards the swahili!

[TheCoolshortguy]

im ganna get this game

[TheCoolshortguy]

wow i was in a seriouse bad mood and bord as can be and i heard this and im in the best mood i have ever been in a long time

[TubaraRetes]

I remember the first time i played CIV IV, I only played the game after listening to this music 3 times.

[briotera]

There's a game called Civilization where you get your own little nation

Be immortal, rule as you see fit, just one click and you can decree shit

From Civ 1 to Civ Revolution, it's your job to find the solution

Need advice from somebody wiser? Just ask Elvis, he's your advisor

:D

[arax00]

This song is just incredible, it's epic.

[snowwieboardi666]

this sucks ass

achy breaky heart - billy ray cyrus. is a true gaming song

500 miles - proclaimers. pro gaming song

[GodofTheForge]

3 people are deaf

[littlebean95an]

i sitll love this song

[littleNorwegians]

Listening to this song makes me proud of what mankind has produced.

Watching the whiny, stupid comments here makes me want to cry.

[n1b3luNg]

This song and Civ IV are like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl and Dirge for the Planet, or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat and Live to forget. They're beautiful songs that go perfectly with the games.

[linnhtetmaw]

Yeah yeah like just singing music and listening gonna get u to heaven just appreciate the song and stop this non-sense about peacefulness of the song for after the songs over u're u again, don't lie don't lie just listen sheesh..

[neran021292]

earth is cool :)

[FarbrorKudde]

I think of the Lion King when I hear this :D and that's a good thing.

[gologabob]

Africa gave you this and Aids.

[royceal]

@gologabob You disrespectful racist

[gologabob]

@royceal Jokes?

[royceal]

@gologabob Yea, a black joke, I'm BLACK!

[gologabob]

@royceal Cool story bro. By the way what makes a joke funny is when it jokes about something in real life or exagerates it. So we are always laughing of some one. Just laugh with us or go cry.

[royceal]

@gologabob and those so-called jokes can be affensive to some people

[AWeoWeo808]

@royceal I took no offense. I thought that was a pretty fucking funny joke, lol.

[AWeoWeo808]

@gologabob LOL

[Xecutionner2K]

Over pwnage song for one of the best game ever (Civilization 4 >>3/2/1/colonization)

[jhonjangle1]

i think it is awesome

for one it reflects the new addition of religion

for another it makes you feel like you can win without fighting

it is the sound of hope to me

[dirtbagdarrell2008]

I prefer Civ 3 music

[mouserichi]

This song gives me so much hope. It's a bit hard to describe, but I physically feel better just for hearing it.

[Kaliningrad92]

@mouserichi That's exactly how I feel :) Good music always has that effect on people, I find.

[extremelytoaster]

@mouserichi

agreed

[chopstix720]

@mouserichi  hope for many villages bearing technologies?

[mouserichi]

@chopstix720 More along the lines of many different cultures coming together under common goals. Life shouldn't be an "Us vs. Them" attitude, but instead understanding that we're ALL on this beautiful planet together. THAT is what I feel hopeful about. :)

[halogodzers]

@mouserichi the only thing i can see bringing the entire human race together is just another common enemy, as sad as it is.. we need some aliens to fight haha

[mouserichi]

@halogodzers That made me chuckle, but I think you really are onto something. We need some aliens that are JUST strong enough to pose a serious threat, without simply wiping the floor with the human race.

[Hamodyxxx0]

this song sucks

[ilikefoodxD]

@Hamodyxxx0 I concur. (: I think it's very good. =D

[Hamodyxxx0]

@ilikefoodxD you cock role ? lmao

[LegoBeatBox]

@Hamodyxxx0 agreed this is supposed to be game music

[Kaliningrad92]

@LegoBeatBox This IS game music, from Civilization IV.

[Kageshika]

No doubt, this is the best Lords Prayer anyone could possible sing in ths world. Not many know much about the Suaheli, but their language sure seem to fit 100% to sing a prayer.

[Jarynne]

This song's absolutely awesome, no doubt. Nevertheless - a friend of mine told that it's the "Pater Noster" in Suaheli. And if this is true, this song is SO NOT appropriate for any kind of aggressive video game (sorry for the expression but I read it all the time during my studies ;-) )

[Kaliningrad92]

Yes, Pater Noster is another name for the Lord's Prayer. In this case it is sung in Swahili (or Suaheli). It is inspirational, and is meant to bring people together. Some of this game does that. I'm not sure if it is appropriate or not, but I'm also not sure I care :P

[jolebossjg]

@Jarynne Civilization is not especially aggresive it's just about your way and you are not forced to be violent to win .

[Jarynne]

@jolebossjg okay... thanks 4 that information... ;-) 

[jolebossjg]

@Jarynne Personnally i always win WITHOUT attacking anyone by diplomatic victory so i build United Nations or being the richer but i don't like to kill...

[LegoBeatBox]

this is the best video game music ever?! what the hell, man?! this does not make me wanna kill zombies!!! it makes me wanna be friends with them!

[Kaliningrad92]

Well perhaps I should have said best music for this genre.

[bellator11]

Hahaha priceless m8 ;)

[ilikefoodxD]

@LegoBeatBox LOLL

[ImbaSpam]

Swahili language? Isn't that native language of Lt. Uhura from Star Trek?

[zenmen55]

No, it is a major language of many south african tribes.

[techdawg667]

wrong reality dude.

It's one of the languages of Afrika.

[ImbaSpam]

Did search on wikipedia, and it is like you say language in Afrika. Also it is native language of Lt. Uhura since she originate from Africa, so we were both right. :D

[lifes40123]

@ImbaSpam lol

[YouSuckNoJutsu]

This is an aptly titled video.

[Bogieman333]

xX GREAT Xx

[ultraUbermensch]

The African race is the most inferior one.

[Kaliningrad92]

Racism does not become you.

[0Fear]

Shows how smart you are. There is no "African" race, as Africans are way more diverse than other supposed racial group. At least base your racism on observations and not ignorance.

[5olidsn4ke]

@ultraUbermensch yeah take some more of those pills hope you cant get enough...

[HellesBringer]

Thanks for sharing with us this beautiful song

[Kaliningrad92]

Your welcome!

[lukavid123]

ahh the good old gregorian .....very beautiful music ...they have some really good albums..

[lifehole1]

Even though I'm (mostly) athiest, i still like this song due too the tune.

[Kaliningrad92]

Agreed. I'm an athiest too, but music knows no religion, race, or creed. It's music's universality that makes it so beautiful, particularly so with this song.

[jchard6]

this is the lord's prayer in swahili, used to sing this as a kid. beautiful, love it!!

[999lildevil]

you rock my world! x

[ProGamerDesChaos]

what is this for a music still

[ProGamerDesChaos]

civilation I -IV have the best music

[Tabulatory]

I was in such a ruch to start playing my Civ IV when I bought it, but when I installed and hit the main menu screen, I got totally stuck in it for looong time before I finally started playing :)

[Kaliningrad92]

Exactly how it was for me!

[sammyboyy379]

holyy godd i did exactlyy the same thing! im so glad otherpeople share my love for this incredible soundtrack! :D

[sammyboyy379]

an amazing game too. i liked it better than the newer ones

[opppwo]

this is without a doubt the best video game music EVER! It also helps me get to sleep at night too! lol :D

[hotchalupa]

I'm not even a christian and I love this song... Nothing against christians, just trying to make a point that great music can be appreciated by anyone, regardless of creed.

[Kaliningrad92]

Exactly why I put this up :)

[GenoBreaker90113]

My A'Cappella choir in high school performed this song last year....it was crazy!

[Aroddo]

I put that on my ipod the moment I bought that game. :D

[Kaliningrad92]

Same here!

[StormSaxon530]

Wasn't sure what it would be, but once it started I knew it from CIV IV.

Love the theme music for this game!

[KyleD00]

I loved this song when I first played civ4, couldn't stop listening to it...

[CIRELUX]

me to. anf really when I found out what the song was :)

[Kaliningrad92]

I'm glad my video helped you... I also find this song very relaxing and peaceful.

[Gaamblore]

More proof that Jesus is EVERYWHERE.

[CIRELUX]

AMEN :)

[itarethetroll]

@Gaamblore

Hurka derpa herp derp herpity derp derp derp.

[RicMpt]

best song ever on a game!!!!!!!!!! =)

[Boonyakieat]

im atheist but this song is touching.

[Kaliningrad92]

Hey man I'm athiest too, so I know what you mean lol

[Elfararosario]

Baba yetu, yetu (Yesu) uliye

Mbinguni yetu, yetu (Yesu), amina!

Baba yetu, yetu (Yesu), uliye

Jina lako litukuzwe.

Our Father, Jesus, who art

in Heaven. Amen!

Our Father, Jesus

Hallowed be thy name.

[Elfararosario]

No se si se dieron cuenta, pero la musica del menu principal del Civilization IV es el padre nuestro (the lord prayer en swahili).

[Anoleis]

Se pelo menos nós tivessemos mais games com trilhas sonoras lindas como essa...Mas eu só conheço dois games com músicas assim tão maravilhosas:Panzer Dragoon Orta e Civilization IV.

[NationOfMasturbation]

beautiful music, but i wouldnt call it classic video game music

[Naterebalindell]

si es en swahili. la musica es muy muy bien.

[oheusser]

Para os curiossos que gostaram da musica.

Essa musica e o "Pai Nosso" em Swahili ( uma lingua beeeemmmm antiga ) proveniente da africa

[chinoxdark]

wtf were u smoking

[liakias1]

"wtf were u smoking "

Wtf is wrong with YOU! Do you just want to create controversy or don't you have any idea of beauty, peace and spirituality. We are one world, and ignorant dismissal and rudeness create our mindless divisions. THIS SONG RULES!

[chinoxdark]

Hmm I know it a Respective song But i dont belive is the best video game song I know the beuty of music and plus i know about music since im play String instruments and ima be a music teacher and a few year so i probaly have more knowledge and if u want to lisen to some almost like this was the Lion king lol...

[Jarsia]

Just curious, what would you have picked?

[chinoxdark]

Eh for me ill probally sa an 8bit theme or a legend of zelda theme or something from koji kondo

[Jarsia]

Pfft, Ok, if ya dig that kinda stuff, I innt gonna judge. I just stopped caring about that kind of music once I realized that it was just the result of a technological deficiency.

I prefer epic/thematic music. There's some great pieces in halo(yeah I know, everyone says halo, but there it is), mass effect, gears 2(hope runs deep in particular), medal of honor, and somewhat lesser known games like hegemonia/freespace/descent.

This is a fnatastic theme, even if it does sound a bit lion kingish.

[chinoxdark]

true halo theme is alright i mosly like halo 2 one that was it pretty awsome

[Leffe81]

Completely blew me away when I started the game for the first time after installation. I actually had to listen to it a couple of times before I started my first campaign - thats how good it is..!

[Kaliningrad92]

Exactly how it was with me...

[roshylov]

we sang this for my choir

[Kaliningrad92]

There are many choir versions of this song... you can look them up on youtube, if you wish; some of them are very good.

[DragonMagi]

I must COMPLETELY agree with you... it is so amazing... I dont know why, but the blend of voices and the foriegn languages. It just reminds you of how far humanity has come and reminds me of our origins, and all that we have accomplished. the harmony.. mm.. so beautiful.. I was very dissapointed when this song was not in beyond the sword.

[Kaliningrad92]

I too was dissapointed with the beginning of Beyond the Sword. It felt kind of anti-climatic, especially with the dramatic world-wide view exhibited in Civilization IV.

[DragonMagi]

I found that if you go into the options menu on the "others" sections i believe, you can set the title screen to be the origional civ 4 menu, and then it will play this song. Yesss
