The vocal is by the St Barnabas Anglican Church choir in the Solomon Islands and magnificently mixed by Hans Zimmer to give the the full effects of a live Cathedral performance! Amazing track.... goosebumps everytime. The song is in Solomon pidgin.
For people wondering about the translation: this is pidgin, which is not completely kind of an English fusion.. Thus, "God tekem laef blong mi" = God, take life from me, etc. Some of the lines are easier to translate than others...
Hi, I'm desperatly searching the instrumental version of this song, you heard it in the movie but its not on the OST or Melanesian Song CD from the movie. Anyone could help me ?
THis takes me back to my igbo village in NIgeria. I would go to church and hear the songs that sound alot like these malenesian choirs. *tears up* never thought i would miss them so much. MAN i wanna go home *tears*
thanks for uploadong this song, I actually went again to see the movie just to hear this song, can't explain it, but it really touched me, it's just powerful.
I don't know what it was when I first heard this song, but it made me realize the impact war had on those not directly involved. The opening scene in this movie shows modern and tradition next to each other, a struggle between two cultures. A powerful film with a wonderful soundtrack. Thanks for posting.
