21- Worthy of Survival

[TheAtomicusBomb]

I love the whole humanity has to earn its right to survive in battlestar, we take everything for granted.

[OldSchoolPatriot2012]

"You said that humanity never asked itself why it was worthy of surviving. Maybe you not."

[mtraba15417]

2 cylons didn't make it to resurrection hub

[Seeffu]

anyone know the strange instrument that is played here. Sounds like a mix of flute and clarinet.

[Seeffu]

@Seeffu to answer my own question (if anyone is interested) the haunting instrument is called a "Duduk". I just found out.

[MyHatIsGreen]

@Seeffu It's a "duduk", an Armenian woodwind instrument.

(Google for Bear McCreary's blog to learn more!)

[TheCidAndBrianSaga]

it's not enough to survive one needs to be worthy of survival

[FrozenHeart05]

@TheCidAndBrianSaga *facepalm*

[91Psychox]

have one question. What is the name of music played at BSG pilot when Starbucks rune around the ship.

[localfive0]

@91Psychox 01 - Are You Alive? / Battlestar Galactica Main Title.

[BSG062]

i couldn't find this song in the series at 2:54 i noticed that was when lee gave the order to abandon Pegasus 

[pastieman]

@BSG062

Song reminds me of the episode where galactica and pegasus attack the reserection ship and apolo is floating through space. I might be wrong though.

[paulrad2027]

”Like” button is not sufficient for a song like this, and not even a ”Love” button like on Last.fm. There should be an ”obsessed” or ”addicted” button for this song.

[localfive0]

The best line in the episode; "Fight 'em until we can't."

[the81kid]

God, Bear McCreary's very very good. I love the whole BSG mix of world instruments.

[Fcherrug]

This has become one of my favorite BSG tracks... the emotion and energy behind it so adequately captures the essence of the series

[MrZingnigga]

damn this song gets better every time i hear. i've had that taiko rhythm in my head for weeks now.

[phoenixaltar]

I listen to this track before my final exams... just to remind myself that im Worthy of

Survival (against the exams :p )

[holodock]

@phoenixaltar I guess its a good thing you don't listen to the "Blood on the Scales" before your exams ;)

[mrslovvet]

@holodock Or 'Something Dark is Coming' haha XD

[dmkavidelly]

2 Cylons want to destroy Humanity.

[guesswho371]

@dmkavidelly

I think that even cylons have better taste... Those two must be the "Sunshine Boys" from Pegasus...

[BlackValkyire]

what episode was this in?

[antred11]

@BlackValkyire It's in the last ep of season 2, when the Cylons occupy New Caprica.

[thediremoose]

@BlackValkyire It first appeared earlier, when Galactica and Pegasus are attacking the Resurrection Ship and Adama and Cain have both planned to assassinate each other.

[Foobyking9000]

2 people were not worthy of survival

[upthebikez]

@Foobyking9000

LOL...but true!

[thehindmost88]

moose...I never looked at it that way. thats even more twisted and depraved than him just planning it period.

[thediremoose]

@thehindmost88 When you look at it, they are pretty similar: everyone in CIC is celebrating after a successful operation, person who carried it out comes in, is congratulated, then out of nowhere she pulls out a gun and shoots Adama/Cain.

[ebrach121]

LOVE THIS ONE! I started listening to these becuase of the SCC Bear does the music for that too. I'm hooked on Battlestar soundtrack and I haven't even seen it!!! Altough I think that might change thanks to our lovley library system. Hope they have it :D

[thediremoose]

Was it just me, or did anybody else think that Adama based his plan for assassinating Cain on Boomer's attempt at killing him earlier in the season?

[BSG062]

this is when he "spoiler" to the pegasus right as he was leaving "thank you"

[vivahuddy]

does someone know where you can buy these cd's? because I've been looking everywhere and nothing!

[antred11]

@vivahuddy Just get them from Amazon. :) That's where I got mine.

[vivahuddy]

@antred11 ok thanks

[Shinzon23]

BSG has some of the best, if not THE best music of any Sci-Fi show I've seen yet.....

[YouGotPwn3D69]

Us humans need to change big time if we want to survive, and i belive if we lose our rage and our anger, we can grow into a race that is open and caring like god or whoever intended, we always talk abut someone controling us, no we controll ourselves and if we want something done, we will do it if it means a brighter future, because right now, we dont have a furture because of our violence, we can change, we must to survive...

[daedulus1]

@YouGotPwn3D69 maybe im a pessimist but i dont think we/they can Humans are idiotic and yes i am one but have we actually learned anything? we are still short sighted we repeat history, for God's sake we have the power to wipe out our planet ..and humans were not ready for that probably never be. And yes Humans can do great good but then they can do unimaginable evil. Sometimes i fear the Evil or just Malicious behavior outweighs the good.

[lilfozzy12]

@YouGotPwn3D69 war is all humans know. it is the only thing we have ever done good in. and any race that refuses to use violence wont last long and will be instinct.

but it might happen someday that we find a place to just be in peace

[scarrenboy]

That drum in the background, like artillery fire or the dull thuds of the nukes lighting up the surface of Caprica as it was viewed from space. As the nukes went off and the humans watching wondered if they would be judged worthy of survival - McCreary's genius carries through.

[Fedaykin4321]

Grr....this song always fucks up the auto-play now!

Is there anything to be done for it? GalacticaTurkey hasn't been on for a year and I have no idea how to contact youtube, if they even give a damn.

[TedStryker71]

Try using Firefox with the Flashblock add-on from Mozilla. It will prevent the flash-based video/music from starting until you manually click on the icon.

May not work as I'm not exactly sure what the nature of the problem is, but it's worth a shot.

[Fedaykin4321]

Anyone else have auto-play crap out on this song?

[AVPaylasim]

yes duduk

[Cotsios90]

the wind instrument must be duduk, right?

[wavelength121]

What is the score playing during the Resurrection Ship battle? While Apollo is floating around in space.

[somejackass23]

prelude to war min 6 and up

[TheUnhappyMeduim99]

This one sounds a lot like a Gentle Execution.

[antred11]

The other way around. Gentle Execution is based off this one. :)

[jjjhs12]

i think so...

[freedomphamtom]

this song is from that season where the cylon got sick of that strange decease,right?

[BliebandRHYNO]

no it isnt, its from season 2 and that happend in season 3.

[doxide]

no this is the song that comes on at the very end of Season 2 finale. Where the cylons are invading new caprica. It comes on as the centurians are marching through the camp and Starbuck says "we fight them until we can't"

[hady9090]

Don't watch the series, but EPIC song

[DarthCannabis]

2:52 I can just about see Pegasus coming to Galactica's rescue.

[silencedkitty]

Great inspiration for A Gentle Execution.

[fooby50000]

this is like cains theme song

[vianegativa85]

Good music.

[sg15z]

One of my most favorite scenes in the show!

[jonnycash77]

Anyone know what genre of music this is? i would love to have hours of it.

[NaviSai]

ummm..try 'Instrumental '

[TheCitrusKing]

This sort of music usually ends up in the "Sountrack" genre, along with hundreds of scores from various movies and games. I myself love to buy soundtracks to just listen to- I recommend "The Dark Knight" soundtrack. That said, Bear McCreary is unique, but you can buy the soundtracks from seasons 1, 2, and 3 off of iTunes, with season 4 upcoming.

[creamycurdy]

or better "epic ost"

[KurtVachon]

which song has a lot of the tribal drums? I guess it would be their viper launch song or something

[WordoftheSenate]

Prelude to War, or perhaps Storming New Caprica for uber drums.

[quenoseteolvide2]

well there is Prelude to war and Storming New Caprica awesome songs. BSG have the most awesome soundtrack that I've ever seen no kidding srsly

[willthack13]

@quenoseteolvide2 Passacaglia is excellent if you are in the mood for a less rapidly paced one.

[monkeyfied]

"Baltar Panics" is really, really heavy on the drums for the first half of the song. It is amazing.

[SquidofNot]

2:32 to the end is very good. Kind of upbeat, but not really.

[Aeon135]

this is like abit "gentle execution"

[mangekyousharingan17]

gentle execution came in season three and was after this track, so in fact gentle execution is like a acoustic/ethnic pipe version of the best track in this series: Worthy of survival.

[Aeon135]

ow, cool, ty

[cuxti]

What is the name of the music from Athena and Helo Agathon?

[JulyForToday]

They each have their own theme. But "Something Dark is Coming" has, imho, the best version of Sharon's (aka athena) theme.

[Katiex3MusicxoJonas]

"boomer fleas" season 1

[kemamusa]

doesn't this remind you of the theme soundtrack from Sarah Connor Chronicles???

[ghostbirdofprey]

Same composer

[sololosthero001]

download using real player.

it's not enought jus to survive, you have to be worthy of survival.

[ikkeennigij121]

does anny1 have the MP3-version of this song?

[Raptor747]

Use the Youtube Downloader.

[Morethanbobsonofbob]

fraking awesome

[Kison930]

Mazryonh, the track you are looking for is called 'Prelude to War'

[Raptor747]

Are you sure? I think that song is for when Adama and Cain have that standoff in the first part of the episode.

[Kison930]

Pretty sure. It's a very long soundtrack. I think the part Maz was looking for is towards the end of it.

[ikkeennigij121]

this kicks ass!!!

[pathfinderLXXIV]

Probably my favorite track from all of the season

[Mazryonh]

I can't find the theme that plays as Apollo slowly loses oxygen in this playlist. This track had a few leitmotifs from that awesome sequence, but I still can't find that track.
