  • makes you smile just to listen to it. the bdm version tells the story of firefly's victory, of doing the impossible and making a movie. even if there's not another one, if there's not another movie, it wont be much. but it's enough. we;re still flying:)

  • This is what shoulda been playing on the opening credits... shit I think im going to buy the special edition just for these songs.

  • this is what should have played during the credits... wow Im gonna have to buy the dvds now...

  • This version actually gets me kind of emotional.

    We, the fans, did the impossible, and that makes us mighty.

  • Your soundtrack playlist is basically double the commercial release. Any idea where I can download most of these songs? This one in particular?

  • @Codexx I got the extended soundtrack from a bootleg. I did so a few years back, so the download links I used are borked. Not sure where you could find it now.

  • @SerenityScore Any chance you still have the originals on your hard drive somewhere and could upload them somewhere? I'd love to get my hands on them and they seem to be hard to track down these days. Most download links have expired at this point.

  • @Codexx Ehhh... I do still have them, but I don't feel right putting it up. Also, uploading it would take time away from watching Mad Men.

  • @SerenityScore I could understand if it was easy to find or available in the soundtrack, but it's not. Which is the only reason I ask. If you get the time, I'd really appreciate it.

  • @SerenityScore Please? I would love to have the music too!

  • @Codexx you can download any youtueb video using realplayer it lets you download them and convert them into any format

  • meh i prefer the show version

  • Does any body know where I can find a tab of this version of the song?

  • Please take me to the black again!

  • I like that western tune to it I wish Firefly was still on

  • Fox screwed themselves over on this because they had potentially something that could have been as big as star wars and just blew it completely screwed Josh screwed the fans and made a huge mistake and recently made another mistake they canceled lie to me not as good as firefly but still pretty damn good

  • @y05077 "could have been as big as star wars" Talk about wishful thinking.

  • @SerenityScore Maybe as big as Halo or Star Trek. I mean... Nathan Fillion was Gunnery Sergeant Buck in Halo 3: ODST. =] Also, Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk were in ODST as well.

  • @SerenityScore maybe not bigger, but certainly better.

  • @velken0027 After Episode 6, the prequels, New Jedi Order and everything Karen Traviss-ty touched, pretty much everything's better than Star Wars.

  • @SerenityScore

    Sadly, yes. This is pretty much the best thing Joss Whedon ever did - Buffy the Vampire Slayer was just a warmup. I won't even mention Dollhouse.

  • @SerenityScore

    Hmm, but Fate of the Jedi series is quite good imho.

  • @SerenityScore Episode 6? WTF. Prequels... eh, fair enough I guess. Haven't read New Jedi Order. But Karen Traviss? Fuck off. Her novels were a breath of fresh air for the Star Wars universe and told things from a different perspective. Different =/= bad.

  • @MrEvil37 Yes, Traviss wrote from a unique perspective. But it was a bad perspective. Everything she wrote was poisoned by her fetish for all things Mandalorian. She also had no idea how to write half the characters in the Star Wars universe. She started the ignorant 3 Million Clones crap. She quit because the Clone Wars series was ignoring her precious contiunity. Not to mention that she took the Mandalorian subplot in Legacy and forced it into the main plot in every one of her books.

  • @SerenityScore Karen Traviss's stuff was actually better than the vast majority of the EU, and New Jedi Order kicked ass, so don't know what you're talkin about (But the prequals sucked nuts)

  • @SerenityScore It could have, though. At least as big as Star Trek...

  • @y05077

    I can't compare firefly to Star Wars, because the former is series, the latter are movies. But firefly has so much potential, so unique, simple, but astonishing music (ballad of serenity), steotyp, BUT so lively and loveable characters (Jayne's moon on 7th episode :) ) that this show is a really, really serious hit among the series.I'd not compare to SW, but Firefly is definitely one of the (if not THE) best series I'have ever seen.

  • @adam1224 yes it was so unique nothing like it with the driven story but at the same time comedy and Jaynes moon 100% agree "the hero of canton the man they call Jayne" loved that because it was serious but the whole thing just felt great at the same time, and you are right so much more story to it. I mean it was done cleverly too because they didn't force a backstory like for example halo does with the flood and forrunners it was there not forced and could easily be explored

  • @y05077 Joss Whedon didn't cancel Firefly. Fox did. Joss wanted it to go on for seven seasons. Joss didn't screw anyone over; without him, Firefly wouldn't have happened, we wouldn't have got Serenity to tie-up lose ends and we wouldn't have got all the comics that continue the stories.

  • @MrEvil37 I never said Joss canceled firefly just read the comment back should have probably put in some more punctuation to make it clear but I said Fox screwed Joss and screwed the fans, did not say Joss screwed anyone over because I know full well he didn't or serenity would have never been made

  • @y05077 "Josh screwed the fans and made a huge mistake."

  • @MrEvil37 it actually said "completely screwed Josh (now insert a comma), screwed the fans and made a huge mistake" referring to Fox I wrote it I know exactly what it means I love firefly and serenity I am not saying Joss got rid of it im saying Fox got rid of it hence why I said they canceled lie to me because if I blamed Joss for canceling lie to me which he had nothing to do with it would make no sense

  • @y05077 and dude i agrre what sucks is that fox wont sell the rights to another channel...or to a big rich person whos a fan....i mean....damn dude its obvious this show has a following now either put it back on the air or sell it to someone who will

  • @y05077 Not to mention Dollhouse and pretty much anything else that wasnt late night court re runs or seinfeld or shitty movies from 1994! Screw em! So help me god if they can Terra Nova before at least 3 seasons- THAT is fucking brilliant.

  • @Reaverhobbies I do enjoy Terra Nova its a good show

  • @y05077

    They shall burn for their hereasy!

  • Yeah, growing fanbase... Can't stop the signal.

  • @MidgetVader357 yeah well FOX can such it. And they have - how much money is it making now?? lol ... since they sold the rights to Universal could make a movie of it, they don't get a penny! Thank goodness!!! :D lol

  • Why are people talking about how bad Fox is, rather than glad you are you waited until the end of the credits to hear this gem?

  • The day Bill O'Rielly said Obama was just like Hitler: that was the day I stopped watching Fox news.

  • @QuakeTotem it took you that long?

  • I hear "Dust in the Wind", and I don't mind.

  • i just watched this movie and cried my eyes out.

  • Am I the only one who sees the irony in the Fox argument in the context of the politics of Firefly?

    Or is it just that it's hard for people to step back from things?

  • @EchoTangoSuitcase Nahh when I read FireflyFanatic3's discussion with SerenityScore above, I saw that link too. The whole "telling other people what to think" thing.

  • @rabbitspliff

    Cool. I think it's amazing the way Joss wove those politics into the whole series and just hid it in plain sight. Most people think: "Cool! Space Cowboys!" and never stop to think about it beyond that.

    River Tam: "We meddle"

  • @EchoTangoSuitcase indeed. it's funny how just those 2 words, "We meddle" can so easily sum up western foreign policy. especially that of the usa and uk. here we are, supposedly peace-loving liberal democracies, our politicians turning our countries into surveillance and police states, invading other countries, causing the deaths of thousands upon thousands, causing millions if not billions worth of collateral damage and telling them how to live. well, at least that's what it reminds me of.

  • @rabbitspliff

    Truthfully, I was thinking more in terms of the way our government meddles in our everyday lives.

    Foreign policy? More of a bull in a china shop thing I think. But that's just me.

  • All news channels are horrible, I agree. But at least others show some level of respect towards people. The "reporters" at Fox will straight-out insult people and treat their guests like shit. All news stations lie and sensationalize at times, but at least some of the others aren't being complete assholes while they do so.

    Anyway, thanks for uploading these! It's truly beautiful music.

  • forgive me for not living in America ... but why is FOX news so bad? Everywhere I go ppl are complaining about all the American news channels ... ?

  • @FireflyFanatic3 Because they're biased, and the commentators are ignorant. Just like every other news station. But because Fox News has a conservative slant it's horrible because all news channels should be liberal.

  • @SerenityScore fair enough. But do you mean conservative and liberal as in political? Cos if so that's a bit of a stupid thing to say! If all news channels were bias towards one political party/view then they'd have complete and ultimate control through the media.

  • @FireflyFanatic3 I do mean political.

    Politics is stupid and people who complain about news channels are stupid. :/

  • @SerenityScore hehe that's okay ;) lol

  • @SerenityScore all news suck 'cause it all has a slant, but FOX has been caught straight up lying about staticstics, not that long ago, over that whole wisconsin thing. That's not biased, they literally reversed a statistic done by another organization.

  • @SerenityScore Uh, politics decide almost every facet of human life at some point or another. Nobody watching a SF show about the evils of an oppressive regime willing to make pawns of its subjects should say something so idiotically dismissive.

  • @falantepelosmortos Did it never occur to you that I was trying to shut down a pointless argument not even tangentially related to the video? People are supposed to enjoy the music, not debate about a stupid news channel that's just as biased as every other news channel.

  • @FireflyFanatic3 They also unfairly canceled firefly before it had a chance to get famous... welll... More famous I mean...

  • @TheDTYPsGames yeah all Browncoats know that ;)

  • @SerenityScore it would be horrible if Fox News didn't advertise themselves as fair & un-biased, & then commence to sell the conservative agenda

  • @FireflyFanatic3 Because fox news is the only news channel republicans and centrists seeking the republican point of view can go to.

    Can we get back to enjoying the music now?

  • How is this even so gorgeous?!

  • Why is this not in the soundtrack?

  • I remember when I first heard this at the end (my first time watching). I was smoking in my room. This song struck at such an emotional level that i just gaped like an idiot. Than the cigar fell out of my mouth and I didn't notice it on my leg until the song was over....it really really hurt

  • damn! the Ballad of Serenity indeed ... incredible

    I really love how it stops on an imperfect cadence, like it's halfway through the song. Like even through the music it's kinda like - "yeah this ain't the end, this wasn't how it was supposed to end for the Browncoats and their story" and it really highlights how it got cut off so soon. But it also gives the feel that it still hasn't ended ... and too damn true ... you can't stop the signal!!!

  • "Looks like were out of the woods people..."

  • Castle ->Nathan Filion ->Countless Firefly references -> Firefly ^^

    The idiot (well, the dude who wasn't a sci-fi guy or a visionary) who cancelled this show must've been fired for that decision. I mean, the series got cancelled early on, but a movie still got made and the show has a fantastic following.

    I have no doubt that if Firefly were to resurface today, it would quickly become one of the top shows on the air. =)

  • @StormShroudedFocus too true. especially now that the political atmosphere of America is so heated due to all the reformist movements. Alot of people would cling to the underlying messages of the show

  • "I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar."

  • I can't replay this enough times.

  • "She'll fly true Sir..."

    REMEMBER THE SERENITY

  • @valkeriecic The ships name is Serenity...

    There is no the

  • @valkeriecic The ships name is Serenity...

    There is no "the"

  • @cornishphilosopher Whoops, sorry about that.

  • Browncoats unite!

  • how can i get this song?!?!?!?!

  • Damn you FOX! Curse your Sudden bu Inevitible Betrayel!

  • @Unwelcome1776 It had to be said!

  • There's no place that I can be since I've found Serenity...

    That sentence is so true. After I finished watching the pilot all I could thing about was that ship and how much I'd want to be on it with her gorram crew.

  • FX or SyFy would be great places to bring the show back. Problem is, Wash and Book are pushing up daisies now.

  • i don't see how bashing FOX is going to bring back Firefly so just give it a rest.

  • @thestormsguardian This, all the way. If it's possible for me to give more than one thumbs up to this, I will spam that button until this is the highest rated comment on this video.

  • @SerenityScore Apparently you don't pay attention to events.. Even if Fox wanted to bring back Firefly, after the movie Serenity, it would be impossible. We lost good friends in that movie. RIP to all. I'm sorry that Fox destroyed a perfectly good show, but what do you expect when all they want is more reality tv? (Reality my ass)

  • @RogueWraithWolf Apparently you don't pay attention to what I wrote, or to the main titles of Serenity.

    I was applauding someone for taking an unpopular - but CORRECT - stance.

    And Fox couldn't bring back Firefly if they wanted to. Universal owns the rights.

    And also, I haven't seen a reality show that wasn't that retarded dance show or American Idol on Fox for a while.

  • @thestormsguardian Best to bottle up the anger, good advise there.

  • @thestormsguardian Everyone needs a way to vent. May as well vent toward the people responsible.

  • @thestormsguardian Heh, can't help it. The show really should have stayed on. But, you're right, bashing it wont get the show back on. However, it's a lot of fun lol

  • @thestormsguardian It worked with family guy ;D

  • @Oamanu And look what happened there. Family Guy transformed from a passable Simpsons-lite to an abomination that still thinks its edgy.

  • @SerenityScore So what would Firefly be if it lasted more then one season? Serenity, nuff said.

  • @Oamanu Except Joss Whedon has a bad habit of screwing himself over a couple seasons in.

  • @thestormsguardian It is however fun and rewarding for the ego, so let the bashing CONTINUE!!!

  • @thestormsguardian Yeah, but us browncoats take a liking to pissing them off

  • 1 week ago

    This song is beautiful, but it also breaks my heart a little. Coming at the end of Serenity's credits like it does, and thus at the very end of the Firefly storyline and our time with these characters...it feels like a goodbye.

  • They can't take the skies from us.

  • @PhantomRaiden They did.

  • ...So I was just watching the episode bushwhacked and it occurred to me, when Mal describes the "darkness blacker than the space it moves through", he's describing something he knows intimately. "The only way to deal with it I suspect is to become it. He's following the only course left to him." I'd imagine the alliance made him see and do things in the war that made him damn near close to a reaver, but his will was stronger. Hence, when he gets the drop Neska, "You want to see the real me?"

  • @ExarKatarn I dunno, the browncoats did some nasty torture too, remember when he's being interrogated by the alliance guy?

  • When I first saw this movie, I was in love all the way through, but it was at the end of the credits when this started playing that really did it for me. I think that the story of Firefly is about finding home. However, home isn't rarely a place, but a state of mind. This simple piece of music is a perfect representation of that: Joss took us through hell and back, but to those of us who stuck with him all the way through, this takes us back to the familiarity of what we call "home."

  • God.. beautiful.

  • My hatred of Fox for their cancellation of this wonderful show almost approaches my hatred of Fox for the lack of journalistic integrity in their "news" programming.

  • @SamHagagaga All news channels are horrible, not just Fox.

  • @SerenityScore umm Fox tunnels a new level in hell for bad journalism, they're not just like every other news station

  • @SerenityScore but they are the heaviest one-sided yellow journalism opinionistic news station there is, really the only reliable one is Daily Show and thats a freakin comedy show

  • @webb101094 pffft MSNBC and CNN can get pretty horrible with their opinions too.

    And you forgot Colbert Report.

  • @webb101094 I agree. The only news I watch on tv (and not from online articles and whatnot) is The Daily Show. Because if I'm going to be faced with bullshit, I might as well laugh at it. And yeah, I think The Daily Show has oodles more journalistic integrity than Fox.

  • @SamHagagaga I know exactly what you mean! Every time I watch an episode of Firefly on Netflix, I hate Fox a bit more.

  • @SamHagagaga XD that made me chuckle

    i mean FOX? journalism? seems more like pointing their finger at a rabbit and calling it the cause of 9/11 :\

  • @SamHagagaga

    Couldn't agree more.

  • @SamHagagaga

    Fox sucks.

  • @SamHagagaga The rapport between the cast, Joss, and the fans is unlike anything I've seen. Even if the principal cast starts to age out of their roles, I'd like to think maybe one day they'll come back together. Then again, "If wishes were ponies we'd all be eating steak." :P

  • @ExarKatarn Better than eating apples.

  • @SamHagagaga well I agree that fox shouldn't have cancelled the show, to be fair it didn't have many viewers at the time, but it was cancelled before it's time. Chuck is constantly under threat of being cancelled despite its fanatic followers, the viewer numbers just aren't there,

    and can you honestly tell me that every other news station is squeaky clean? Sure Fox is biased, but so is everyone else, feel free to attack Fox, but at least keep the standard and attack the others too.

  • @kterris1 of course not, but fox just has no standards whatsoever, they twist the news in their favor to show things they want to show, purposfuly mis-inform the populus and occasioanlly just full on lie, as opposed to not reporting the whole truth like other news stations do, it's all bad but fox is by far the worst.

    ...........and they canceled firefly, which was just pure fucking evil.

  • @7aro7Dragoon Fox News =/= Fox the network

  • @7aro7Dragoon other news sources do the exact same thing, especially reuters who seems to be anti-israel, they've been caught altering photos several times. the NBC stations do the same, and they're always threatening to cancel Chuck, which they would have done already if it weren't for the fans.

    Fox is actually an par with all the other news stations in terms of news.

    CNN really has no standards, nor does NBC, or CBS, Every news station has a left wing bias, except fox which is right wing.

  • @SamHagagaga Really? Because I hate them more for canceling this show than I do for their other generic crappyness.

  • Man, I shed a couple of tears to this song. It's so sad to see something so amazing so short lived.

  • Since no one else has done it yet... Take my love Take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don't care, I'm still free You can't take the sky from me. Take me out To the black Tell 'em I ain't coming back Burn the land and boil the sea You can't take the sky from me. There's no place I can be Since I found Serenity But you can't take the sky from me.
  • Big Damn Movie version.....sounds like something Jayne would say.

  • @000YellowFang000 he he lol yeah go jayne/gun dude/knife man/weapon person

  • Is this song on the CD?

  • @blasterchief123 It's not. Why would they put a song everyone wanted on the CD?

  • @SerenityScore Damn those "they". Always getting it wrong.

    Btw where did you get all these songs, I'd like to have them as well. There's one piece that I really want to hear, maybe I'll just look for it in the series again, but it's the one where Serenity is in empty space the music plays right as she starts to accelerate. I think it was on the pilot episode, it's a really short acoustic guitar riff, but it's so sweet.

  • @DevilMayFry Torrents and fun stuff like that. The download link I used died, but I might be able to track down a working download link if you want them.

  • @SerenityScore I tried looking for it on Piratebay and such but didn't have much luck. If you can find a working torrent that would be awesome.

  • @DevilMayFry Serenity (Complete 2-Disc) - by David Newman

    Part 1 - sharebee(dot)com/753a7cb4

    Part 2 - sharebee(dot)com/f8329a1e

    Part 3 - sharebee(dot)com/709bc045

    Not a torrent but somewhat close. :3 Those links should work.

  • @SerenityScore Thank you so much, I'll see if they work.

  • @SerenityScore

    Part 1 is down ;(

  • @DevilMayFry Dude...the dvd boxset is $20 @ walmart...go buy it!

  • @DevilMayFry I didn't have any trouble finding the CD for sale on Amazon.

  • @NRen2k5 The CD doesn't have this song, or many of the songs I uploaded. Only way to get unreleased material is a bootleg.

    but yeah it's always good to buy the CD and support the artist

  • @DevilMayFry your disrespect for the composers' pocketbooks is disgusting. I hope you become somebody's bitch.

  • @TheGodzilla1955 Maybe you could read what the uploader's comments were:

    "The CD doesn't have this song, or many of the songs I uploaded. Only way to get unreleased material is a bootleg."

    Don't be quick to judge.

  • @DevilMayFry My humble apologies, sir. I didn't notice that.

  • @DevilMayFry

    I know exactly which riff you mean, and it's on the Firefly sountrack, in the second half of the song entitled "Big Bar Fight" :)

  • God I want this version! It's soft but still got that kick we all know and love.

  • Take my love, take my land

    Take me where i cannot stand

    I don't care, i'm still free

    You can't take the sky from me!!!!!

  • this is the reason why i always watch the credits to the very end of this movie

  • He already jossed all the characters...

  • yeah I´m hating Fox -.-

  • @Jigarios If Fox cancels Human Target I will never forgie them EVER

  • "An error occured." OF COURSE IT FUCKING DID YOUTUBE. Of course it did

  • i don't care i'm still free,

    you can't take sky from me

  • @TerrHimself Burn the land and boil the sea. You can't take the sky from me! :-)

  • Can't stop the signal

  • Also: Epic version of the main theme. Love it.

    CSTS!

  • what the crap does csts mean

  • @SerenityScore

    please if you happened to have that song which makes the girl go crazy in the bar

    let me know where can i find it

    THX

  • I could e-mail it to you.

  • @SerenityScore u might get this twice but plz send it to hvktr@freemail hu

    thx

  • Can't stop the signal.

    Which may derive from the old hacker's credo "information wants to be free", but is used differently in Serenity.

  • Comment removed

  • @SerenityScore

    can't stop the signal. duh. =D

  • @roddyjo I've been told this twice before, but a third time is always fun.

    Maybe I should erase my own comment so people will stop repeating the same thing over and over again.

  • @SerenityScore lol. sorry. my fault for not paying attention. i hadn't noticed you got told twice. sorry bout that. =)

  • This show was everything other great Sci-Fi monuments like Star Trek lacked. Miss it like hell

  • What does it have that, say, Deep Space 9 lacks?

  • For starters it doesn't have a 20 minute montage of people saying goodbye to one another in the final episode.

    Seriously after 7 seasons that was the best they could come up with?

    Next Generation had a fantastic ending by comparison, even Voyager ended better and Voyager was rubbish.

  • Except the 20 minute goodbye ending made sense, given that DS9 was at its core an intensely character driven show whereas TNG relied, as always, on a bunch of technobabble to provide a closer.

    Voyager's ending was complete shit, what with the reset button and, y'know, ending the show right as they return to Earth, leaving us hanging about what the frak happened to all the characters once they got home.

  • DS9 was not without some great episodes, the trouble with Tribbles, the appearance of the Defiant & the magnificent Ferengi were brilliant but killing Gul Dukat halfway through the last one & then having everyone smiling & listening to the holodeck was self-congratulatory, dull & a major disappointment after so much promise much like the end of BSG. Whereas the ending in TNG was a good story as well as a great ending to what had been at times a patchy series

  • @SerenityScore I dunno, I liked the fact that we don't know what happened to all the characters in Voyager. I think a show should always end leaving some questions unanswered so that it sticks in your mind after it's finished. Whedon did the same thing with the Buffy characters in season 7. But then again I do love voyager so my judgement is likely impaired =p

  • And about that Charlie Sheen part.. yes, but only half as greasy.

  • Browncoats unite. Hell, i feel the sudden urge to slap that moron who decided to cancel the show.. i mean wtf.

  • @Disorganizer Rupert Murdoch.

  • @Disorganizer

    Slap the gorram bastard? Hell man, why not just take a sledge hammer to his face? Much more deserving, if ye ask me

  • @Disorganizer What a gorram idiot.

  • @Disorganizer

    Blame Fox.
