Dubai Fountain - "Baba Yetu" by Christopher Tin

[SteelBuck2010]

This is SOOOOOO Beautiful

[Taytay767]

AMAZING!

[YManCyberDude]

As millions of Americans can't find work this is where your money goes every time you fill up at the pump... Yet our leaders won't even let Americans build a pipeline...

[meloveyou123123]

Where in Dubai is this?

I will do anything for watch this in real, it's really amazing and i'm impressed!

[mbekesh30]

...the word of God shall be preached to all ends of the world...

[TheDK077]

windows movie player effects xD

[KurastWolf]

The only video game sound track to ever be not only be nominated, but win, a Grammy award in it's 53 years of history. Well done, Christoper Tin. You did everyone proud.

[JonasClark]

This and "I Will Always Love You" are, in my opinion, Dubai Fountain's signature songs. This choreography (and that of the other mentioned) are magnificent, subtle and gentle where they need it, and powerful only at the right moments. Many fountain programmers know nothing about timing and pacing, and WET has punctuated these flawlessly. Of course, choosing just the right music for a particular fountain show's abilities and resources is the other crucial thing. A better match couldn't be made.

[Gamezilla00]

Wow that looks amazing

[drewslayah1]

This is a christian song give it up. himonfukwe.

[austinthebookworm5]

@drewslayah1

It's world music, man. It represents humanity.

I'm an atheist, but I know a masterful piece of music when I hear it.

[lastsplash6]

2:00 looks like Caravels circling

[afriend8888]

holy shit this is amazing can't believe i only saw this now. if it's already amazing on video i wonder how it's like watching it live!

[inceptionsd]

@afriend8888 wondering is all we can do now XD

[kremenaivanova]

@afriend8888 I WILL TELL YOU :) Walking aimlessly on a Vegas sidewalk, doing some random sideseeing. A wide and shallow piece of water on my left side. Some strange pipework on the bottom. Just few seconds later...it starts.Wooowwww!!! It`s not just a sight of the town! It is..... the most amaznig creature of performing and choreographic art ever! Soooooo imapact!!! I could never imagine something so perfect and beautiful...I had never heard of it before and I was there!!! Yes! I am a lucky one!

[wrath90210]

If you've ever watched HOME on youtube this is exactly what they are talking about, it's beautiful and moving, but we do dubi is a wealth nation that needs to really become energy and food independent.

[AngedeleCor]

We watched this video in Music Theory II at Middle Tennessee State University! Amazing video and music!

[himonfukwe]

I wonder if they knew that they were playing a Christian prayer by playing this song (the lyrics are the Lord's Prayer in Swahili).

I wonder if that would've changed their minds about playing it.

[pravo]

@himonfukwe I don't think so. I mean, a prayer is a prayer. But the music can lean differently on you. Besides, your God is your God. Even if he's everyone's God.

[amoxtlacatl]

@himonfukwe

Not necessarily.

Muslims consider Jesus a prophet.

I don't know what Muslims think of the Lord's Prayer, but Jesus himself - not viewed as a god but as a man - is certainly a part of Muslim teachings.

[Alladin671]

@himonfukwe I don't see any reason to exclude this music even when it includes a translated version of a Christian prayer, mainly because I cannot detect "the Lords prayer" containing anything offensive. It is an ethic from a different religion but there is nothing about hate, mistrust, killing infidels or going to war anywhere to be found in its' words, only a series of requests asking us to be given a fair chance for a better life.

[anaSheikha]

Make the impossible, POSSIBLE ! GO DUBAI !!!!

[doom032]

@traceurigel1 Well, duh, this is a real fountain.

[herxheimer]

just awesome

[JohnTraviss]

Gives me goosebumps. Did my nipple just froze?

[NightHawk92929]

@4got10shadow what's even worse is that most people who went to watch bieber only went there to troll his video, he has more dislikes than likes

[levi99levi]

i felt like a baby when my eyes started to water up, but then i read the other comments and thank god i wan't alone.

[keladry0alanna]

i cried :')

[Diabolik01c]

@keladry0alanna çouse your a gril!

[4Got10Shadow]

OMGGGGGGG Bieber got million hits and this only 77k, the world is gonna go to an end.

[this1goesout2u]

Agh! Tears!

[suckitallofyou]

I would have killed my first born to be there.

[MegaImawesome123]

this is the first eva song from a game to win a grammy:)

[holyzeitler]

Its a fountain

[RDrumcajsek]

@holyzeitler Captain Obvious saved the day one more time!

[dynamicmaxwell120]

It's so beautiful. I want this in my backyard.

[coinpeace]

Baba Yetu is now a Grammy award-winning song (:

[KooLRajK]

I could watch this all day!

[Kaleightar]

This is absolutely stunning. Wow.

[duskedennis]

people have you ever given a thought to the people in Africa no you have not, you sit in front of your PC drinking cola while 10 Africans die. think of the world, think what we could do if we stood together as humans should do but all i see today is selfish people only thinking about them selves, am i the only one who is human here, humans have changed to think about them selves, a hero is not what you think it is a hero is a person that supports and helps people when they need it the most. :(

[NinthEuphoric]

@duskedennis So what were you doing when you made this comment? If you think it's only 10 people dying with every sip of cola that we filthy, decadent fools take then you are just adorable. It's terrible that all this suffering is occurring but is your little bitchfest raising awareness? No, it's just pointless guilt tripping. Why should I feel bad that my life is good? You have no idea how much time and money any of us have donated, so how about you just shut up and and enjoy the fountain.

[bla18477744]

I wish I could've been there!!!! It probably would've brought me to tears....the beauty of the fountain and the meaning of the song.... :D

[bobfari]

This is amazing, i hope to see this 1 day!!

[josded]

the words: (straight from Christopher Tin) Our Father, who art in heaven. Amen! Our Father, Hallowed be thy name.

Give us this day our daily bread, forgive us of

our trespasses

as we forgive others who trespass against us lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one forever.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. (amen)

[PetrosofSparta]

I recently posted a video of the fountains, I go to Dubai quite often, this is slightly better than my version with Lionel Richie's "All Night Long" playing in the background.

[musicfromkatarina]

Miraculous!

This song and this video are making people happier and the entire world better!

Just amazing!

THANK YOU!

[geek113377]

this doesn't sound like the album version. Is this the civ4 version? or some other version?

[MRTEL7777]

CIVILIZATION IV THEME SONG;)

[leopardhunter99]

@MRTEL7777 Yeah, they bought it to use it here. I've been to this fountain maybe 15 times! :D

[Tomoyoai]

wonderful!!!!

[RandomStevie]

Anyone know the words to the solo during the ufalme wako ufike utakalo part?

[josded]

@RandomStevie ufalme wako ulfame wako ufike utakalo dunia mginguni ahh...yeah

pronounciation: [oo-fahl-meh wah-koh oo-fahl-meh wah-koh oo-fee-keh oo-tah-kah-loh doo-nee-ah mbee-ngoo-nee]

mmmbeangoonee is how mginguni is pronounced in its entirety

[lovexxjustinb]

this is so beautiful i went dubai mall and saw it in july 2010 amazing

[BradleyUK]

Dubai world were slaves are accepted!

[harpn123]

@gedsshed this tune is the lords prayer in some language that I couldn't be bothered to google at this time but how can you not think of the dis fortunate while hearing it?

and youtube is a soapbox but at least someone is standing on it you get what you want from the message but don't blame the medium

[johanoh]

@harpn123

swahili my friend, its in swahili

[nessbri]

so beautiful this made me cry

[nzhussein]

miss u dubai muwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah:-­)

thanks. its so beautiful !!!

[wildcat1559]

This song is a christian song yet its being played in a muslim country how ironic

[iameasy9]

this the place to be <3

[9tailedKitsune]

Wonder how long it took the set it up to do that.

Rhetorical.

[jukeboxboxbox]

beautiful.. very beautiful

[lovexxjustinb]

@jukeboxboxbox

ur right its amazin hav u seen it in real life?

[jukeboxboxbox]

@lovexxjustinb nope.. not yet... but will soon.. :D

[lovexxjustinb]

@jukeboxboxbox

i saw it in july this year it waz amazin and ad me x :]

[minhaitran]

hey all you FOOLS arguing on the WRONG VIDEO: isn't it a spectacular show?

[chernobila]

belagio suck on that right guys?

[Blackwatch555]

Beatiful

[Denja25]

ich wahr selber dort und bin von Dubai sehr begeistert

[Jarynne]

This song is SO beautiful... and even if you see these fountains as a waste of water - they DO look amazing...

[LuskaHyzka]

hey, really fab video! can i ask what kind of camcorder did you use? thanks!

[rachidadeich]

ya salaam 

[2694jordan]

Best song in the world.

[duskedennis]

they used very much water to this crap i would destroy it i dont even think its beatiful

i think they should think of the people in africa and other places, they would never see so much water in their whole life. every time you drink some water, 10 african people dies, because they dont got any water. use your head

[me3legs]

@duskedennis

If thats what you think of this, then ill look at it this way:

the statue of liberty was a waste of copper

the eiffel tower was a waste of steel

stonehenge was a waste of rock

Empire state building was waste of more steel

the Pyramids was a waste of gold and stone

and the ships sent into space was a waste of a ton of many resources

all of these resources could have been used for more houses, Mcdonalds restraunts and factories spewing out tons of greenhouse gasses every day.

[me3legs]

@duskedennis i would have said more, but i ran out of characters.

[aristopunk1]

@duskedennis ...dude. Are you handicapped? That was the most idiotic thing I've ever heard in my life.

[ondrando]

The best of this is that song

[gildragon]

this is just beautiful

[dukesonmario]

waste of good drinking water

[fireorfrog]

Thank God that we still make this sort of stuff once in a while. If we spent all our money feeding the hungry and never took the time and effort to create something beautiful, then what would be the point in being around at all?

[PetrossDelta]

@fireorfrog *mixed reactions*

[brengun42]

Billions and billions of stars....

[murtamurta]

O Ibirapuera em São Paulo é mais bonito!...

[gedsshed]

I dont care about the whole "feed the world " topic being raised here. I see youtube as an opportunity to share footage of interest from one place in the world to another. To jumble on about all the other garbage like feeding millions is for a "soap box" where as youtube is just a source of interest,entertainment and in some cases learning. Please DONT GO TO DEEP into it.

[MrBuckeyeFan]

@gedsshed

You are a mindless fool if you do not see Youtube's use as an agent of change.

[Icefoxen]

@gedsshed This kind of intellectually and morally bankrupt attitude, and the fact it has so many thumbs up, is -exactly- why I am demoralized regarding the state of my generation. Besides this, Youtube offers a lot more than opportunity to share footage of interest. It offers a chance to share ideas and topics based upon that footage, as almost any information sharing medium can. If a picture is painted with a thousand words, footage is surely painted with millions.

[xelectrickissx]

I wonder what the masses of starving people would think about this... so much could be done to help them rather than this spectacular show of opulence.

[markdesign]

Building this crap produced millions of jobs. This crap will continue to bring in revenue. This crap created wealth and will feed thousands of families and their children.

Redistribution of wealth does not feed starving people.

[harlequin75]

I have no doubt that 'this crap' created wealth and will feed thousands of families and their children. But I don't think they are the ones suffering from an insufficient diet or the lack of water.

[ChrisKingVideos]

@harlequin75

This is a project that looks Beautiful and helps the people of Dubai You don't have to go on about other world affairs

[harlequin75]

@ChrisKingVideos

I'm neither questioning its beauty nor am I introducing unrelated world affairs. Having lived in Dubai for a very long time, I certainly know who benefits from these.

[ChrisKingVideos]

@markdesign This crap is beuatifull In so many ways.

This isn't crap its amazing its just beautiful And is great to look at!

So i agree with you this helped so many people

[mbart109]

@xelectrickissx

thanks for this comment. This is the first thing that an empathic person would think of. Now, who says resources are scarce, when money is really.

[Rickyke]

Még a hideg is futkosott a hátamon annyira gyönyörű... ezt élőben látni... fantasztikus!!

[leonardito]

IMPRESIONANTE, realmente IMPRESIONANTE!!! sin duda debo de visitar ese lugar y verlo con mis propios ojos!

[lisein]

Maravilloso!!!!

[chocolateprincess001]

inspirational! to see the dance of the water and listen to the music is a vibrant spiritual experience

[JMCaldwellAcademy]

why did I think Dubai was Muslim?

[FilthyLinda]

this is the best video of the fountain show.. EVER.

amazing.

[asoberprep]

I agree and I've seen most of them amazing show .

[BadGuy2009]

Is this a Christian prayer???

[conexy2k7]

Outstanding

[johanvandyk]

Aaah! What a beatiful prayer acompanied by this spectacular fountain!! Amazing!

[MaxLeonhart]

The music is awesome (by the way, the whole Calling all Dawns is awesome...) and with the fountain... it's just breathtaking...

[kerred]

This needs to be featured, on the most viewed, or something so everyone can see.

[stevemaster1763]

The world's most beautiful music is complimented by the world's most beautiful fountain... I like it.

[SandyKnoll]

Beautiful! I'd spend the whole night watching this from different angles.

[dynamicmaxwell120]

@SandyKnoll Google should make a video of it where you can watch it from different angles. Imagine Google's "Streetview" but with video.
