Bear McCreary - Assault on the Colony (Part Two) EPIC SONG. Battlestar Galactica Season 4 soundtrack

[FanJamesMarsters]

brings back such memories that it inspired me to go back and watch the whole series again on Netflix, and I'm mid-season 2 now.

[Tarful2345]

the scene when Hera walks around looking at the marines desperately holding the line against the cylons had me at the edge of my seat, i was nervous as hell then i saw cavil marching and all the marines falling back, i actually thought it was the end then and there

[reviewgirl312]

4 people never made it to earth.

[MonkeyWhisper]

when ther raptors jumped and tore a huge hole in the old girl i almost cried :(

[TonyEvans96]

@MonkeyWhisper Me too... me too.

Though I never understood that. Why not jump in a dozen raptors, plant them on the hull of a basestar, and jump em all away. That would destroy practically the entire ship.

[spacegeeks3]

@TonyEvans96 Because they needed hera.

[TonyEvans96]

@spacegeeks3 I don't mean this episode. I mean whenever they'd be fighting any basestar (IE vs the ones over New Caprica). Spool up the drives, fly real close to the center of the star, and WHOOSH, boom, bang, lotsa love toasters :)

[AndyHocvs]

I wonder if the actor that played the Aaron cylon (who fufilled the de facto "leadership" role) was upset that Cavil started calling the shots. You'll notice that Aaron has much less screen time once Cavil appears.

[NIStreakz]

Does anyone know the song starbuck plays at her house when she goes to get the arrow (I think its on Caprica) if you do please reply, thanks

[Malbo22]

@NIStreakz Metamorphasis One by Philip Glass, I believe :)

[NIStreakz]

@Malbo22 OMG Dude I love you i've been looking everywhere for that thank you so much! :D

[Malbo22]

@NIStreakz Haha no worries :) If you like that, try Primavera by Ludovico Einaudi... very similar style, very minimalist. :)

[RizzoR14]

1:21

[missdexterity]

i loveeeee the theme that cues at 6:20. it's like a huge bubble swells in my chest whenever i hear it

[starflame34]

I don't understand all these part 2 videos! How come they always have less views than the first! Especially when it comes to music!

[xMORExBRAINSx]

Aaron Doral is the worst. "It's a trick!" When Chief kills Tori. -_- He is just the stupidest cylon. Not to mention his terrific logic of "His shirt's teal, mine's maroon" in The Plan.

[WickIDwarrior]

I'm a guy and I can't help but cry, when I realize that any TV I watch wil never get any better than this. Battlestar touched my soul. It's like I was onboard and went through everything with Kara, Lee, Bill, and Laura. I actually love them like they were family. This show touched me that much. It's had a profound effect on my life. I've been suicidal before many times, but this show helped me to want to live and contribute to others in need. Does that sound crazy or pathetic? This show saved me

[contentina]

@WickIDwarrior I am not a guy but I cry for the same reason!

[TheCoolisimo]

@WickIDwarrior omg i thought that exact same thing lol high five

[Walkingcedar2006]

@WickIDwarrior

For whatever reason, I just want to reach out and give you a big, big, big hug. Hopelessness seems to disappear when we discover a revelation. BSG is our entire story of survival, even if told as a simple parable. We know something far, far greater is waiting for us, out in the Universe. I am glad you didn't rob yourself (this lifetime, anyway), of being a part of the revelation (deep, spiritual, universal, and human) to come. Be well and Go Carefully.

[galahuth]

@WickIDwarrior its a representation universal to something every culture has seen, the jews from egypt, the trail of tears for the natives, the famine for the irish.  I can say it awakened the Irish spirit in me, kinda reenforced the fighters will, this was a very rare show that was able to touch and affect people in ways television rarely can. I don't think there has been any piece of art quite as powerful and effective on my and who i am as this has been

[iToaster360]

this "song" is pure knowledge about order and practicig in fight... they are masters, they are the japanese culture they are alone with everyone else, we are they are our past, our future, they are what we will be and what we will become in a sooner or later futur.. remember the 13 tribes of Kobol, it's in the deepest basics of our culture...

[Valonqar]

@iToaster360

Weeaboo.

[Frocob]

@iToaster360 yes, they are what is and what is but it is us and they in not you but for to be russian AND japan.

[davebusfield]

great song for driving or running (or in my case cycling). the soundtrack to this show was fantastic, without question

[valcan321]

wow the begining made me think of DOW and the tau O.o

[UnionLords]

The part between 4.01 and 4.15... WONDERFUL... I remember exactly when that piece played in the final episode... That's when Number 1 Cavil with "Loyal Centurion squad around him", breakthrough the corridors of Galactica... What a georgeous scene that was !! Unfortunately ((and ridiciculously)) he killed himself later...

[wavelength121]

Agreed, that part was the climax of the entire series for me.

[DP3Hoss]

@UnionLords From what i heard it was Dean Stockwell's idea for him to kill himself at the end, the plan was (i think) for someone else to kill him.

[SylarAlpha]

Tigh was to kill Cavil. :c.

Too bad. That would've been epic.

[JulyForToday]

He was a reversed pinocchio. He wanted to be a "real' robot. Yet even as he saying that he was having an emotional tirade. He was obsessed with getting the Five to see his side of things, to justify his actions. He was calculating, but under all that he was driven by emotion, and hated it. He hated himself.

His plan fell apart. One of his

'parents' were killed, and they never saw his side anyways. His chance of getting resurrection was gone. Now on a ship, doomed to be shot or air locked.

[Ennio444]

Cavil is a great character indeed.

[Foobyking9000]

sadly to me, caprica just looks like law and order in the future..

[DarthFastidious]

@Foobyking9000

It's actually neither. Watch it. Give it a chance, seriously. I've been shocked by how much I've enjoyed it. And remember, if Caprica does well, that drastically increases our chances of seeing a "middle" series set during the first war, and wouldn't that be awesome?

[23DEATHNUMBER]

AWsome song it very epic BSG rules!

[EpsilonKnight7]

They brought back Kobol's Last Gleaming, partly with the style of Cult of Baltar, Boomer's theme (in part 1) and there was a Shape of Things to Come cue (and it does end with a Final Five/Watchtower cue). This series was so unbelievably awesome.

By the time Caprica is finished I won't be able to watch anything not set in the BSG universe and scored by Bear McCreary or Richard Gibbs (he did come up with the intro theme, known to many as Head Six's theme). T_T

[SoManySkinks]

Hopefully by the time Caprica's done we will have been rewarded with another equally well written spin off series.

[WickIDwarrior]

I love the Passacaglia theme and all it's variations... it defines the series. That's what thematic music is for... continuity... love it.

[antred11]

Agreed. The shape of things to come, love it. :-)

[AmericanPoliceState]

its a beautiful song..especially the female vocal singer..

[emcneilk2]

This is a great song! The final five theme at the very end gives me the chills!

[YellerMetal]

It's not the final five theme but the shape of things to come!

[HisDivineShadow245]

It's actually both.

[allayne13]

This song is epic.

[MsYukari]

I just ordered this online. Waiting for it to come in. I already own all the soundtracks including the miniseries. I also need to get the Caprica soundtrack.

[PathogensQuest]

This has no business being on a television series. Especially on on SciFi. It's too big. Epic!

[Northwro]

It's amazing how fast Cavil mowed a path straight to CIC. He's the ultimate bad ass.

[Tanru2000]

I truly hope everyone who is here listening to this music goes out and BUYS the album. It's an absolute masterpiece!

[fireandice027]

I wish they had it on iTunes :(

[KenoshiAkai]

Hear hear! I'd buy it for certain if it was available on iTunes.

[BSGfan84]

i'd buy all the past soundtracks if their were on itunes

[HisDivineShadow245]

I did! :D YouTube is nice, but it doesn't compare to driving down the highway listening to the Assault on the Colony.

[tommypowell12]

Absolutely Amazing!!!

[deadsaber]

epic song indeed

[WehrmachtTiger]

Can't wait for my copy to arrive!

[JJGdot73X]

This track is audio sex.

[Edbrad]

I agree

[chimnino]

Yes it is. Earcandy!

[gratuz]

7:38 is EPIC!!!

[Unitronus]

Finally, the Opera House!

[Fantome52]

4:00 is one of my favorite cues; this plays when Cavil and the Centurions storm the hallways of Galactica and it just adds to the hopelessness and terror of the final battle.

[Hartzilla2007]

Of course it is funny that the next time we see Cavil's assult group he's the only one still alive, so much for going on the offensive.

[squeezybox]

@Hartzilla2007

It was particularly brilliant in that, despite all the prophecy/god/whoo stuff, Galactica still won the battle outright.

[smcneal057]

@squeezybox

Who is to say that what ever force it was wasn't there with them?

[squeezybox]

@smcneal057

Fair point, but normally it's more directly obvious in the series when that happens; there's nothing before the nukes that, I think, actually requires god-things involvement. Nothing that says Galactica didn't kick ass good and proper of its own accord, at least. Plus the slow motion section entering CIC as Adama shoots the Simon is rather ace.

[UNsoldierLieutenant]

@squeezybox A plan that we can not see was created by god.

[MrCarlosBrazao]

@Fantome52 thank you so much for the spoiler...

[qwertyman129]

Great reprise of "The Shape of Things to Come at the 6 minute mark!
