Video Games Live - Civilization IV

[EzawynTLK]

There's no way for a white man to sing this song without making it sound like shit. And I'm white, hum?

[zero2000k]

I went to video games live a few years ago and I thought it was awesome. I can't wait until they come back again this year.

[XSmallTwoOfPieces]

Baba yetu, Yesu uliye

Mbinguni yetu, Yesu amina!

Baba yetu Yesu uliye

Fu jina lako litukuzwe

[peraldon]

:D <-- My reaction

[tunisienne123456]

[WhithoutNotes]

Lion King... :-)

[flor5715]

[Sindrannaras]

This was a great upload, my friend. Thanks.

[SonOfSkyrim]

Those singers NAILED IT. Awesome song and performance

[Apebamsen1991]

Right to my playlist for epic and beautiful music :)

HIS NECK

[Maadhawk]

I loved this opening, wish I could have it as the standard opening while playing "Beyond the Sword" expansion.

[FireOps]

Does the lyrics actually mean anything in any language or is it just gibberish?

[FireOps]

@FireOps Just found out, it is Swahili and is "The Lord’s Prayer"

[9taledbeast]

the song = 10/10

the game = 5/10

sigh ruined the video but then again I don't have to watch it to hear the music.

[Tale2261]

@9taledbeast Did you consider that maybe you just dont like turn-based strategy games :P?

[9taledbeast]

@Tale2261 actually I just found out that it was released in 2005 so that explains the bad graphics. I just don't like when the graphics looks shitty but since it's a 2005 game its ok.

[SandOprods]

@9taledbeast ...Is graphics all you care about?

[nsvvone]

@9taledbeast The graphics weren't particularly good even for a 2005 game; even Civ 5 has crappy graphics. However, Civ is one of those rare games like Minecraft where the graphics really don't matter.

[ValerieMisija]

Amazing, Fantastic, Incredible... Fell in love right off! Made me neaqrly cry, This how we shold live, and not with all pop music.. This is real music!

[dfghj241]

is this game better than the fifth?

[00eerr11kkk]

@dfghj241 of course yes. Civ 5 was too rushed. Nothing beats Civ 4 with mods.

[dfghj241]

@00eerr11kkk thanks for the info, mods for the win!

[Sui6Ci6De]

This is great! <3

[mjongerh]

i played this game soooo much, and always when i started it up i waited till the song ended!

It is this soo nice!

[Chayaam1]

brilliant

[Bangshishigami8]

VGL! Best thing around....If this isn't part of the arts.....I don't know what is.....seriously.

[ladysienna2000]

it's great to see how a production is done! :) Thanks so much for posting this!

[92bagder]

reminds me of the lion king. Some musicians who should be famous (you know who) should listen to this for this is REAL MUSIC THIS IS ART THIS IS WHAT REAL MUSIC IS

[Meoix]

I am absolutely stunned, this was an amazing performance that blew my mind. It was beautiful beyond words. From the power of two males' voices to the perfect harmony of the chorus, Christopher Tin defiantly created a work of art in this music. I think I may just have to watch it again.

[Seriath1]

does anyone know the translations?

[MyLoneImagination]

@Seriath1 The 2nd related video gives lyrics.

watch?v=C5rJe-rAjW4&feature=re­lated



[Tale2261]

@Seriath1 look for Baba Yetu on Wikipedia

[brenndon1]

@Seriath1

Its the lord's prayer in a African tribal language.

[Tale2261]

@brenndon1 It's not tribal, it's swahili XD

[brenndon1]

@Tale2261

Still it's the lord's prayer in an African language.

Shows how sterotypical my mind is.

Oh look An African language! Must be tribal!

[dancingwolfhowl]

God, I used to keep the title page open on Civ just to listen to this, and my sisters would come over and listen too cuz it was so awesome.

[PWN3DbyOLI]

reminds me of Avatar soundtrack

[denscro86]

Thx for sharing this with us,simply amazing!

[xBl4ZnGunZx]

Video games are pretty much just a bunch of art put together. Start off with concept art. Someone writes a story. Then artists puts together the actual world. Music gets composed. Then it all comes together in a perfect combination of art.

[kiljaeden2222]

I've listened this song before...or very similar...i think was in a movie.

[schulze3]

Great seeing man behind the voice one of few game intros i dont skip

[jerrylittlemars]

LOVED IT!!!!

[LoaderTorrent]

Don't stand infront of the screen >.<

[DekaFanCro]

This reminds me on lion king 

[rubb3rducky300]

By far my favorite video game intro song to date!

[compnerd2797]

My school sang Baba Yetu for out spring concert last year haha

[SandOprods]

@compnerd2797 I'll go suggest that to mine tomorrow!

[DFKingZombie12]

Awesomeness!! :)

[AsiniusNaso]

If anyone is wondering the song is Baba Yetu, which was originally composed by Christopher Tin. It was the first song in a video game ever to be nominated for or win a Grammy.

[Thesajlem]

1:19 whats the name of the singer?

his voice is pure epicness

[darthandriou]

The one who dislike this might he doesn't have a civilization

[tunisienne123456]

[TotalWarPhilosophy]

[dasani991]
