@localfive0 For me its more like "What do you mean 'Welcome back to the fleet'? Youre the one who was lost. See us, we have a fleet. You scrapped your fleet and left them to die."
@simpfan666 Personally, if I were Cdr. Adama, and if I'd known what Adm. Cain had done, I'd have had the Blackbird launched, stalk the admiral's Raptor, then blow it out of the sky (then get promoted to Admiral, have Fisk busted down to crewman, have him scrub the heads with a toothbrush, and, oh, yeah, have Kendra Shaw flushed out an airlock :)
@simpfan666 That's precisely what I was thinking when I first watched that scene. The amount of arrogance displayed by the Admiral was just astounding.
@localfive0 You weren't the only one. Gina and Gaius did everyone a favor by getting justice against Cain for, among other things, cutting that rapist bastard Thorne loose against Gina and Athena (look what trying to rape Athena got Thorne, too), and having civilians in their fleet slaughtered in the name of military preservation.
@localfive0 so you missed a very specific point. although they got wiped out except for 50,298, they still see themself as a civilization not a few refugies. this shows thier optimism and systemic way of thinking.
@sevkets I hope you're talking about the Fleet's optimism and "systemic" way of thinking, and not Adm. Ahab's (excuse me, Adm. Cain's) way of thinking. Because to be a civilization means to be civil. I don't call executing a good officer in front of the crew, raping a prisoner of war, and murdering nearly a dozen innocent, unarmed civilians civil.
@sevkets You said that I missed the point of how optimistic the Fleet was at maintaining the human civilization. If you would kindly recall Adm. Cain's little speech in Razor, about how as along as the Pegasus and her crew survived, the war would not be over, and how she wouldn't go over the deep end fighting that war. We all know how THAT turned out. Cain had started off optimistic, but turned upside down by the time she found Galactica and the Fleet.
@Venetia1245 logical because there are similarities between ancient greek miths and the mith in the serial.thus ,choosing ancient greek for a kobol song can be nice.
@sevkets: If I may interject, I am 99% sure that the language used is Sanskrit. I watched an interview with Bear and the woman that sings this, and they said a lot of Sanskrit was used.
The scene in the Galactica hangar deck when both crews of Pegasus and Galactica celebrate and embrace is one of the best scenes from the series. It's terrible how everything degenerates from everything else after.
I reckon! You think its so relieving to find another Battlestar and then it turns out that the Pegasus crew are a bunch of robot raping, civilian hating bunch of war thirsty pigs! And to top it all off Admiral Kane was a BITCH.
@Jammed9000 Exactly. My favorite from Pegasus was Col. Fisk. He may have been a black market shit, but he was likable. All the others from Pegasus, with the exception of Mr. Hoshi, who actually lived through everything, were a bunch of sadistic bastards who followed Admiral Cain blindly.
@Northwro Normal people can be made into sadistic fiends with the right (wrong) leadership. If the same people who were on Pegasus were on Galactica, would they have gang-raped Athena the way they did Gina? No, because they would have been immersed in an entirely different culture. Cain was a woman without a drop of love or sympathy in her, and she encouraged that same ruthlessness in her underlings. Their bad behavior was continually reinforced and never condemned.
@Jammed9000 At least by the end of it all, Adama was Admiral, they had the Pegasus herself, a fine battlestar of her right, and hundreds more peeps to add to the fleet's population. Doubtless it was hard to get over all the shit from the past, but the fleet couldn't just turn up its nose at over doubling its military forces.
@LordPlucky Read this carefully. Christian Rock is pathetic, i say this because it tries to make Rock something it's just isn't mean't to be, traditional Christian music is fine because it is mean't to please God, not you, God's music, if he mean't something to you, would sound completely different to most normal types of music.Christian Rock tends to sound like cop-outs of main stream rock songs, as if it is trying to appeal to people who enjoy non-christian rock music. Which is just quite sad.
@seekwa God created us in his own image, meaning - gave us free will. God makes no mistakes because it is perfection, as such, there is no reason that God would be displeased with us or anything he created because everything is as it should be. Composing music to please God is just sad because it is a waste of time and one self. Accepting God through preachings of fairytales of any church is also sad because they take away your greatest true gift from God - free will!
@rile00RS i dont know and i dont whatn to know maybe its just always the same maybe we the humanity will be technologicaly so far that the endless circel will continue and it will just be bigger but i hope so that there is nothing after death. because if there is something like hell and heaven i would land in hell no question
@masketkiller101 To be honest with you, believing in the Gods of the Battlestar Galactica universe is no more or less ridiclulous than believing in the God of the bible. :)
No truer statement could be made. Very few people can grasp this relevance. Folks think that believing in one or many deities somehow makes certain beliefs more relevant or believable. It does not. Belief is belief, despite the faces and stories we paint and create for said deities. We create them, until we don't. It is not too different than believing in science, blindly, when some aspects of science turn out being proved wrong. Folks don't like to question, especially in the West.
I would consider myself to have a 'dirty' mind. Yet I've listened to this piece for 3 years, and not once had such a thought crossed my mind about Raya's singing. Her voice does have a sensual quality. But I would consider her performance here as intense, with an edge of sadness and defiance. A precursor to "A distant sadness". Even with sex on screen while it was playing, it was damn forlorn.
Hear Gwen Stefani's "What you waiting for?" Or some Britney Spears. That stuff sounds sexual.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
oh and i should add that I love Raya's voice. It's beautiful there is just something about the tempo of the song, the instruments in the background that remind me of like a harem of women dancing around enticingly. I don't know why. Nothing against Raya!
I freely admit it's part of a mixed-tape (okay, CD) I use when being together with my GF. Sort of relaxing and sensual. I connect that song to some great memories and experiences.
I love Bear's music but this song just grates on my last nerve. If it's supposed to be a prayer why does the girl sound like she's having a sexual experience. I don't know why but I can't get into this song at all
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Don't get me wrong, I realize it's a great piece of music - I just don't like it for some reason. That happens occassionally in life. The sex thing was just an observation. I don't really mind that it sounds like sex. Sex is good. And JulyforToday, LOL I doubt you have a dirtier mind than me!!
My room mate (who is Sri Lankan), said that although the pronunciation is a bit off, it is still Sinhalese, and most definitely not random, and the only Latin in there is the word 'Dei'
People, this song is NOT in Latin. I don't care what Wikipedia says. Hell, if you have to believe a Wiki site you can pit the Wikis against each other and check BSG's own version of the original Wiki site on which they list the lyrics and say that it's in Sinhalese. But that's beside the point. It's not Latin.
I wouldn't care if it were in Klingon, and it's one of my favorite tracks, but I had to get that off my chest!
Sorry all, I speak sinhalese but couldn't recognize but a few words until I read the lyrics. It was like apu (from simpsons) singing an Andrea Bocelli song. :-)
As far as the comment saying it's latin.... well I heard it drunk and still it wasn't latin.
As for the translation "lift our FACES to goodness " is wrong MUA means mouth in sinhalese so, it should be "lift our mouths to goodness".
Well it sounds great and I'm glad Bear used one of the oldest languages still in use to write it.
@CanSpy Yes, yes thank you for bringing this back on the top comments ! Really, this seams to disturb no-one so let's get the translated lyrics back to the top so everyone can understand what this beautiful song means ! I'm not a believer but I think it's a lot more charming than all the frakkin' crap prayers you can hear about this so called "God" which doesn't exist... Yeah, God doesn't exist, got is your thoughts, god is the Universe, so frak y'all believers :D
@iToaster360 Hm... when I say '"frak y'all believers" I don't mean "you" I mean, real believers, so if you're not a real stupid believer, don't take it for ya ;)
I'm sure it is not 'all along the watchtower'. All the songs Bear McCreary composed for BSG are in it's way a piece of music history but for me a few really stuck. Lords of Kobol is one of them. Nearly every night before I go to sleep I listen to 'Lords of Kobol' and how ever hectic a day has been, it has the power to take my breath away.
Bear McCreary i think is probibly one of the most inder credited composers of all time....he is AMAZING!!! all of his songs, not just the ones from bsg but all of them, are simply breathtaking and beautiful, and powerful. i love his music!
i just gotta say ALL THESE SONGS in all the sound track are absolutely GORGEOUS and just breathtaking, I can't believe what an amazing job Bear McCreary did
I like the guitar in the background, or what it is, its like her, singing in this old language and then the guitar sound. The old meeting the new in a perfect harmony.
Battlestar wiki says this is in sinhalese. The opening titles are definitely sanskrit, though. Whatever the language, it's beautiful. Isn't this the same music that plays when Admiral Cain first visits Galactica?
I'm pretty naive when it comes to languages - so forgive me when it shines through - but right at the the start she appears to sing - 'Dei Kobol' - wouldn't DEI be gods in latin (plural of DEUS)the rest doesn't sound at all latin so maybe i'm completely wrong...
anyone who could illuminate this would be welcome to.
I have begun to think that another BSG prequel series might be nice, accept I wanna see the story of Kobol, and the 13 tribes.

@CanSpy Yes, yes thank you for bringing this back on the top comments ! Really, this seams to disturb no-one so let's get the translated lyrics back to the top so everyone can understand what this beautiful song means ! I'm not a believer but I think it's a lot more charming than all the frakkin' crap prayers you can hear about this so called "God" which doesn't exist... Yeah, God doesn't exist, got is your thoughts, god is the Universe, so frak y'all believers :D

@iToaster360 Hm... when I say '"frak y'all believers" I don't mean "you" I mean, real believers, so if you're not a real stupid believer, don't take it for ya ;)

Yeah, except that electric guitar at the end. Then it becomes the 300 soundtrack.

Maybe one day, if we're very good, we'll get to see what Kobol and the Gods were like...

I'm sure it is not 'all along the watchtower'. All the songs Bear McCreary composed for BSG are in it's way a piece of music history but for me a few really stuck. Lords of Kobol is one of them. Nearly every night before I go to sleep I listen to 'Lords of Kobol' and how ever hectic a day has been, it has the power to take my breath away.

This to me is a masterpiece. I can not get this song out of my head, I'm glad to say.

Are you sure it's not the "all along the watchtowers" you're hearing?

I'm really suprised that elko68 missed it. Is there anybody out there that would really need the joke explained? LOL

Now I get the joke. I had not yet seen that episode. I had a good laugh when I realised it.
elko68 2 years ago
No probs. It was kinda funny.I'm suprised that with the series ended, you're just now getting to season 3. DVD collection?
magick205 2 years ago
Yep. Thank God for the internet because in my country BSG season 2 just started!!!

I know this is in Sinhalese, but the rythms feel almost celtic in my blood. Maybe it's all the drums? Love this one. 5*

Wow, at first I was considering looking for another song when I heard vocals in this.
I'm glad I didn't.
It's amazing.

I like the guitar in the background, or what it is, its like her, singing in this old language and then the guitar sound. The old meeting the new in a perfect harmony.

i've never heard sanskrit sung like this before....absolutely beautiful..
earthwind12 3 years ago 2
Battlestar wiki says this is in sinhalese. The opening titles are definitely sanskrit, though. Whatever the language, it's beautiful. Isn't this the same music that plays when Admiral Cain first visits Galactica?
UrsusArctosT34 3 years ago
I'm pretty naive when it comes to languages - so forgive me when it shines through - but right at the the start she appears to sing - 'Dei Kobol' - wouldn't DEI be gods in latin (plural of DEUS)the rest doesn't sound at all latin so maybe i'm completely wrong...
anyone who could illuminate this would be welcome to.
70rn 3 years ago
A truly Latin part would be "Dei Kobolis".
I don't know if BSG makes use of Latin lyrics...the main theme's lyrics are in Sanskrit...
MobiusDragon89 3 years ago
.....and now i guess i should try and find out if Dei means anything in sanskrit. Thanks dude.
