So Say We All!

[efetherman]

@qellow So say we all!

[hestermark]

@MrFlyingscotsman1 I understand the ships were damaged, but totally destroy them? I know they were weary and tired of running, but much was salvageable. And finding another planet that looked like earth, very plausible. It's mind boggling to think how big space is. There are up to 2500 stars visible to the naked eye at any given point on our earth, 5800 to 8800 total visible (telescope). Astronomers estimate 200 billion to 400 billion stars just in our Milky Way.

[hestermark]

And it is estimated that there are hundreds of billions of galaxies. Hubble Ultra Deep Field captured an image with about 10,000 galaxies visible just in one picture. Makes me wish I had a ship with an FTL drive.

[ComanderSev]

the real earth was destroyed by wars i think

and the planet they were at least wasnt the earth

[Freddwith2D]

@ComanderSev I can't agree totally. In the end, they open the theory that we're all hybrid's offsprings as they discover the remains of Hera that human scientists name Lucy...

[much1337]

@ComanderSev Earth is just a symbol, yes earth was destroyed by the wars and it was a cylon planet before but, the earth that "we" live on now, it's earth too!

[PhantasyGod]

@ComanderSev I dont think they found real earth. What they found was another planet looked like earth that was colonized by cylons and was nuked by war (i think reference to real earth), then they found another planet that looked like earth millions of years ago when man started to evolve. I COULD BE WRONG.

[SWOLFOOI]

a relative of mine recently said of BSG perfectly 'what is this show and why haven't I been watching it every day of my life' ....so say we all

[pilotroman19]

Masterpiece indeed. Worthy of something directed by Karajan!

[macequis]

Listening this masterpiece makes me realize how much I miss the BSG

[bluezhughez]

How can anyone dislike this......?

[LetsShareMusic]

I just finished the last episode of bsg, thank you for this song, it's been stuck in my head since i first heard it, but was reluctant to look here for it in case of spoilers. Now i have it on repeat, beautiful :)

so say we all

[aaronmb83]

@LetsShareMusic How did the series end? I never did get to finish watching it. I have been occupied with work and school.

[bootsdog3]

@aaronmb83 How Does the series end? Everything in the universe is one form or other of energy. That energy is what God would call music. Starbuck figures this out and saves the fleet.

[hestermark]

@aaronmb83 , I actually hated it. They found earth. It was 'millions' of our years ago with groups of 'Homo Erectus' type beings. Everyone in the fleet decided to give up their technology, live on the earth, and send the ships towards the sun. Then it shows present day earth with Baltar and Six having a discussion while walking away from the camera.

[hestermark]

I hated the ending that is. BSG itself was ground breaking in my opinion.

[ComanderSev]

@hestermark the real earth wasnt the planet where they were at least

[hestermark]

@ComanderSev, ah, gotcha, I guess I missed that. Gives me another reason to watch it all over again!

[TCoops]

@hestermark I, too, found the ending unconvincing compared to the rest of the show which was "hard" sci-fi. So they FINALLY got to their fabled earth and instead of landing their ships, setting up their own little society in peace with hospitals, schools ect. They just said "well, lets crash all our valuables into the sun and just all walk off into the land separately.. See ya!" They would have all died within weeks from harmless infections, starvation, or exposure. And they bred with cavemen??

[ComanderSev]

@TCoops Have you ever saw the series? Have you ever understand the story? I think you failed ...

[MrFlyingscotsman1]

@hestermark watch it again, they crashed their ships to sun cuz the ships were damaged and couldn't jump anymore because of the last battle with cylons.... what can they do with old, damaged ships?

[MrFlyingscotsman1]

@hestermark and gaius baltar & six were having a discussion 150 million years ago but they weren't actually gaius and six... they were the angels that helped them... angels which cannot age or die -.-'

so the ending tells that the god really helped them and that gaius believed in something real..

[volper1690]

All this has happened before. And all this will happen again.

[bobdylansgood]

this is not all that we are, all of this has happened before and all of it will happen again. LOVE THIS SHOW!

[lechuk]

Goog good, really good.

[GlobalMessenger]

I was lucky enough to be an extra on BSG for a day, It was one of the most amazing days of my life. The show is my all time favorite. Bear's music is so poignant and serves to enrich the story so well. This piece of music and The Shape of Things to Come, rate as highly as any of the Mozart and Beethoven in my music collection. Just beautiful.

[T0mat0S0up]

@GlobalMessenger Really? Which scene? What were you?

[GlobalMessenger]

@T0mat0S0up The episode was called "Blood On The Scales" I was called Adama's Civilian Army on the call sheet. I'm only in it for a few fleeting seconds in a hallway scene , as a hoard of us walked to the CIC , I am about 5 or 6 people back from principal actors, I aim a gun down a corridor we walk by. I am also a guy in black holding a gun in CIC, 3rd level up. I briefly looked towards the camera at one point.

Ive done other ads and films, this was so much fun, I'd have done it for free.

[T0mat0S0up]

@GlobalMessenger Thats quite interesting, I will have a watch of that episode and see if I can spot you. Good luck with your career, hope you continue to get ever more successful roles in films.

[rightwingman1sd]

Thank you so much for loading this beautiful music....

[T0mat0S0up]

Im still in mourning over the end of this show.

[BloodW0rx2]

this is the best frakkin song ever.

[Darthkac]

Great!

[MrFllu]

I've been searching for this song for such a long time... I finally found it. Thanks! It amazing!

[nourali2]

Fuck... there is a song that sounds just like this in BSG, but I can't find it! It has almost the same tune, but it's more upbeat and sounds more epic. This song sounds a little sad, but the one I'm looking for sometimes plays when Baltar and his imaginary (angel) Six talks to him... Fuuuuuuu. What is the song!

[alexandrabutiri2000]

i have it but on my laptop....and forgot how it's called :) If i find out i'll let u know :P ;))

[alexandrabutiri2000]

Allegro...there this must be the one...?!?

[alexandrabutiri2000]

how's the other one called  that sounds like this one....?

[TheSkepticalIdealist]

@alexandrabutiri2000

Shape of Things to Come.

[Campino42]

@alexandrabutiri2000 Probably thinking of "The Shape of Things to Come"

[alexandrabutiri2000]

@Campino42 nd it it was Allegro but thx anyway ^^

[alexandrabutiri2000]

love it ;))

[Gareth7685]

Nice - it's the visual aesthetics of the show that hooked me. They've done something very spesh in developing the used future look. Easy to take for granted the battle sound in the musical score which this makes brilliant use of. Fraking great.

[bren100]

Beautiful song. Always seems to bring a tear to my eye. Thanks for posting

[wildefreespirit]

Battlestar Galactica is an awesome serie, and the soundtracks are either. Thanks

[wetback64]

Dont forget "The Plan".

[conradpilapil]

how many seasons are there total?!

[Toemelsen]

There r 4 Seasons

[conradpilapil]

thanks

[Pr0t0dude]

4 seasons

[conradpilapil]

Thanks

[LoobLap61]

This is a piece of art, someone should hang it in a museum :D

[CHUCKYB7777]

I am so into this series, i am sorry for getting into it so late i will will watch every episode that they made, whatever your opinion, i respect but i am into this series and want to see how it turns out so i won,t be back till the series is over for me. What i will say is i am in season one and the series is Phuggin bad azz!! The Writers on this show are second to none ....

[frozensun79]

so say we all!

[BDLKRMBLHD]

I just started to watch this show for about a week lol and i'm already at season 3. This shit is great, never new it was such a good show.. giaus baltar is my favorite charactar.

[Amurrus]

I was never really thrilled about the series, but the music for it really amazes me. What a quality soundtrack to have... Rated and favoured.

[playwithmebaby100]

Beautifull! Jesus it's brilliant!

[mcclainjames]

Beautiful, simply brilliant.

[ProfPA]

This piece of music is very relaxing. Bear McCreary really did a fine job with his music on BSG.

[toohotforyoupunk]

he did an amazing job for all 4 seasons!

[StuartTheGamerNerd]

This makes me want to join music class at my high school next year and impress everyone like I made this stuff up myself :D

[wormincle]

thank god youtube downloader exists ...i must have this song :)

[StuartTheGamerNerd]

lol you idoit....you would have been able to download it with the exact same quality has youtube downloader if you had realplayer....with realplayer you just put your mouse over the streaming video or in this case picture and wait for the download button with realplayer buttion to pop up and that works for free!...its a strange video format that only realplayer can read too and it wortks

[liqwiz]

It's standardised m8, realplayer is just one of the many players that can handle it.

[carom1]

You forgot the key element here, realplayer is crap.

[Lyriapersiana]

This would be great to hear in a music hall.

[Raving]

My daughter is a Symphony Belle (a fancy name for a volunteer hostess) and our local symphony did a show of BSG music. One of the few times I was actually happy to go to a symphony event.

[trusvcllc]

frakkin amazing song!

[kelmur32]

really an amazing show...

I hope Caprica will be as good as Galactica!

[ComONeal]

Leute..

wir haben nur den Planeten .. ^^ Streit bringt da nichts.

Das ist nur Zeit und Energieverschwendung.

StarGate und Battlestar Galactica haben was gemeinsam:

Sie versuchen zu überleben! Als Team..

und trotzdem gehen sie unterschiedliche Wege in einem unterschiedlichem Zeitraum.. also ihr seht:

Niemand hier hat Recht, aber niemand hat hier auch Unrecht. ;-)

Streit ist Zeitverschwendung. Es gibt mehr im Leben, als sich gegenseitig nieder zu machen.. :-)

[snapiQ]

beautiful! (:

[wjrneo2]

Would love to hear this live in a hall. Or since thats likely, a 5.1 surround recording that recreates a hall.

Though I think season 3 is my favorite as far as music goes. Storming New Caprica is an amazing track if your system can accurately recreate the bass from the drums without being muddy or boomy.

[apt3444]

This is a beautiful piece. It fit that episode so well, too.

[XRay1979]

klingt nach Stargte

[HimbeerVanilIe]

du klingst nach dummkopf.

[XRay1979]

du klingst nach "einem " dummkopf heisst das.

du dummkopf.

es gibt eine folge von starget in der ein lied gespielt wird das auch so anfängt wie dieses lied.

[HimbeerVanilIe]

- "Du" groß, weil am Satzanfang - "einem" ohne zusätzliches Leerzeichen am Ende der wörtlichen Rede. - Dummkopf ebenfalls groß, da Substantiv Und das nur in der 1. Zeile, Rest schenke ich dir.. und du kleiner analpentrierter vollspasst willst rechtschreibflames geben?? was ist den bitte "Starget" ? das gleiche wie "Stargte"? und was ist beides? und wo ist der zusammenhang mit bsg? du kennst weder das eine, noch das andere, bist strunzdumm, aber groß die fresse reissen? geh sterben.

[T1w4z]

da gibt es keinen zusammenhang.

das hat er auch nie behauptet.

er hat geschrieben dass das lied auch in einer episode von stargte vorkommt.

ich meine es dort auch schon gehört zu haben.

du allerdings solltest dir mal eine andere wortwahl angewöhnen.

und wo du gerade bei dem thema bist, es heisst "fresse aufreissen" und nicht "fresse reissen".

[HimbeerVanilIe]

wow, da hat euer gemeinsamer vater seinen degenrierten samen aber in viele verschiedene nuttenfotzen reingespritzt, wa?

sollte sich umgehend kastrieren lassen, der lappen, damit nicht noch mehr vollspacken wie ihr beide den genpool der menscheit verunreinigen.

wo ich gerade beim thema war ^^

[XRay1979]

du bist so ein dummes kind!

dein alter hätte dich mal beser auf die heiße herdplatte wichsen sollen!

du hast vermutlich nur im netz eine große fresse.

im rl wirst bestimmt jeden tag verprügelt und gemobbt.

[HimbeerVanilIe]

finds doch raus!

[YanxaW]

I've looked and looked, and it isn't there. Any help?

[SamAlexander14786]

Torrent or buy the frakkin album. Well worth it.

[jackfckntwist]

Can't stop listening to this masterpiece, someone help me!

[ghernan01]

I have the same problem! It's an addiction. Gods, I'm frakked!

[ChrisY2JJ]

Thanks to everyone who put up BSG songs on YouTube. From that, I was motivated to track down all five CDs and have enjoyed countless hours of listening pleasure since then!

[antred11]

@ChrisY2JJ Same here, mate, same here! And I bought all 4 seasons and Razor / The Plan on top of that.

WMG et al should take note of this when they take down videos for copyright reasons. People buy stuff because of videos / songs they've seen or heard on YouTube!! You take that away you're cutting your own flesh.

[smcneal057]

@jackfckntwist

Why? Don't you want to know the shape of things to come?

[vdizhoor]

@smcneal057

Don't mean to butt in (OK, I do) - but don't we know the shape already?

[smcneal057]

@vdizhoor

If you look at who I am speaking to you would know that I am referring to the other song the has the name Shape of Things to Come.

[vdizhoor]

@smcneal057

I got that a little after the fact. Either way, even taken out of that context my butting in wasn't in disagreement (I know, I know, I did say "but" :) ). I agree with you that wanting to know the things to come is often so very tempting. We do want to know it. At the same time, the shape of things to come is already roughly known. There is nothing new under the sun. Or, as BSG would put it: This happened before. This will happen again :) Peace!

[smcneal057]

@vdizhoor

You speak the truth in all this happening before, and happening again.

[fibonaccixp2]

@jackfckntwist i'm experiencing the same kind of addiction. please help!

[severrnijKGU]

@jackfckntwist this is one of those find once every year and a half songs, i too feel deeply drawn into it and i cant stop listening.

[wikum3]

anyone know of a mp3 download link for this song?

[Jarok]

Gotta love the violas having the melody!

[jackfckntwist]

He treats the viola section quite well :)

[CrimsonThorne]

Anyone know what's the name of that celtic sounding song they play several times? (esp. during military parts)

[ETsEvilTwin]

Wander my friend

[mattrwilly]

A good lighter

[CrimsonThorne]

Sick song.

[macequis]

Flawlessly colorful !!!

[degener0]

best SCI FI serie EVER. Nothing more to write, it's simply amazing.

And this composer is really good.

[DripDr0p]

you said it.

[AMONLOKI82]

you're soooo right...

[iwanttobelieve17]

The soundtrack on BSG is flawless, it really plucks at your emotions when a song like this is played to a scene thats so moving its almost life changing. Bear is genius!

[ahp722]

bear mccreary is a genius. he really brings the raw emotions out in bsg. i put him right up there with hans zimmer as two of the best composers in hollywood.

[kc9mav]

I love this soundtrack so frakin much.

[Astronomer21]

Amazing!!!

[Dirtysnake7]

"All things in cycles...." That is what I hear in this song. Expansion, coalescence, endings, beginnings, frackin' toasters....

[Jimbo2006GR]

amazing song

[BustaJonesGavin]

Unbelievable. I love this song and all the moments it represents in BSG. It was nice meeting you Bear. :)

[LumaSholklann]

der song ist wirklich gut, aber da scheinen zweieinhalb minuten zuviel spielzeit zuviel zu sein...

[yaksb]

there seems to be two versions of this music, a long and a short one from the OST, does anyone know where I can find this long version on mp3?

[faramir22]

Are you thinking of allegro? One that sounds very similar to this.

[rafaelnogueras]

I am having the same issue as yaksb: I found what seems to be the complete Season 1 soundtrack, but its "Passacaglia" track is 5:15 and this one is 7:42... this one has the really great ending, too, so I'd love to know where to find this longer version.

[Kaliahn]

It's the same version. This song ends at 5:15 but the video continues soundless.

[rafaelnogueras]

Yeah, you're right: but there is a version on YouTube that's longer and has another ending. In any case, I found that "The Shape of Things to Come" is actually the track I was looking for, and it has a really beautiful ending. :-)

[Wulfger]

Yah, I want to find it too. It has the more dramatic stuff at the end and is around 7 minutes long.

[randomfool0815]

fuckin great. i heared the song the whole weekend, as i was playing bsg fleet commander for about 18 hrs/day now. u can get addicted to this melody.

[wannabespartan]

Great song, really goes with the mood of the show.

[cazzykay23]

i love this video so cool and so love the show

[silveryknight]

What is it about this song? I've listened to it about twenty times and it still sounds like the first time I heard it on Season One. With the Adama's boxing and Kara and Baltar in bed together... It still has that wonderful dreamlike quality to it.

[josednobody2]

u forgot boomer trying to kill her self

[silveryknight]

Lolz! Thanks for the reminder!

[ftlgo238]

And when Helo shoots that model eight on Caprica, but can't kill her.

[silveryknight]

Wow, I forgot loads!

[josednobody]

and starbuck frakin baltar and her going

"ohhh leee" and running off lol

and he shoots athena same thing

[xXwitchXgirlXx]

and when D'anna(number 3) makes the cylon shoot her and goes to that white place :)

I love this song

[dl30wpb]

It's funny how this song makes everyone think of a different moment lol... Really proves how great of a score this is... Nothing that anyone posted connects to me why I think about this song... Simply amazing!

[sarp1993]

i love this song

[sharpshiell]

thank u luv ths soundtrack

[XP108]

I love this song XD, I could just listen to it play over and over. Bear Mccreary is really talented

[deuxy11]

I know!!! Me too :D lol

[TheREALSisko]

Don't think Bear Mccreary did the 1st season did he?

[XP108]

Bear Mccreary did season 1 +, Richard Gibbs did the miniseries soundtrack.

[TheREALSisko]

ah thanks that's where I got mixed up.
