Isn't it cool how a song written for a video game about history goes down in history as the first video game song to win a Grammy? :)

[@eji]

I really wish they had played a segment of Baba Yetu instead of whatever generic Grammy award music that was... would have been so epic!

[@bearangry9075]

Christopher Tin & Sid meier has been culture victory!!

[@tofu_golem]

Well deserved. Baba Yetu is simply amazing.

[@TacetPotentia]

How can you possibly remain sitting and spending 5 seconds of polite applause when Mr Tin himself is about to be prized? Rise from your seats, or kneel down, but praise him!

[@clarinetpride]

@chreveir Proof that nobody in the audience has ever played Civilization IV.

[@DancingFlameDragon]

Congratulations on the win! I've loved this piece of music ever since I heard it at VGL, and it totally deserves a Grammy! Hopefully more video game music will be recognized from now on :)

[@SinnohStarly]

A very deserved win! Great job Chris, and great song too :D

[@nofatchxplzthx]

people ask me what genre/kind of music i listen to... i tell them video game

[@JasonHayesMusic]

Chris, I'm SO HAPPY for you!!!!!!! You have made history my friend! Well done!!!

[@Finwaell]

in civ vii it would be a nice easter egg if christopher was included as an "great composer" :D

[@CasualVader]

I love that people in the audience cheered and clapped at the fact that it's the first time a video game song won a grammy.

[@Mruki27]

You create great music. Thanks for mention video games ;)

[@dynamicmaxwell120]

AMAZING!!!! I loved this song the moment I saw the menu screen and couldn't continue until it ended.

[@PoshRaven]

Wuuuuuue! gaming yea!

[@LionmightOfficial]

History.

[@DrYazman]

YOU ROCK CHRIS! You deserve it!

[@jonathansprout22]

Great song and more than worthy of this GRAMMY!

[@LunaticXXX]

Great song, great composer, and great game.

[@whatwhatwhat7]

@goatgoat That "emo" host is BT (Brian Transeau), one of the most influential electronic composers of the 90s and 2000s. He has always rocked that look, and his music is better and more original than anything that was played at the Grammy this past year, or in the past 10+ years.

[@bluewingspress]

Well deserved, Chris.

[@Sin606]

HOLY CRAP!!! Pretzel congratulations on making history

[@JimDLH]

Hooray, Chris!

[@1983ginger123]

Fantastic! Congratulations Christopher Tin. Well deserved.

[@JosiahTheBone]

It's astounding that so few people cheer for it

[@DanielSabzghabaei]

A beautiful piece greatly deserving this award and any and all accolades it receives.

[@jagodude]

Nice job, Chris! Congrats!!

[@wallsnd]

Chris - beautiful speech and huge congrats to you! Jack Wall

[@midnightsyndicate]

Congratulations Chris - Well-deserved!

[@rustybuckingham]

I hope he's right about other video games being nominated for grammys but I doubt it'll ever happen again... the music for the past few elder scrolls games have been awesome and not a single one of them has ever been so much as nominated for an award

[@decitos]

Well done Chris!!!

[@Finwaell]

that ''applause'' sucked :/

[@Demiglitch]

My people are now buying your blue jeans and listening to your pop music.

[@NAME494]

Tin is a genius!

[@JetWarrior]

Hahaha...my first time watching this, and I see that my favorite EDM artist is the one reading the nomination. That's just cherry on top, lol

[@warnexus]

historic win

[@symphony929]

Congrats Tin =)

[@junkka83]

I bet most of the audience had not heard the song before as it was a game ost, guessing from weak applause.

[@alchemist4evr]

Good job Chris! and thanks for answering my stupid composition questions!

[@jeffyen]

Way to go Chris! Reminds me of the old joke/review... this album REALLY needs more EPIC! LOL!

[@mahinaokalani]

I'm shocked he didn't mention Talisman! That's the group he sang with at Stanford and where the song came from. Anyways, we Talisman loves you, Chris!!! Come visit us!!!! We miss you!!!!!

[@trevorsewell]

nice one Chris :)

[@TalesNT]

1:35 Amen sir

[@ibstrd]

I'm so glad he didn't slip on the stairs.

[@RazorEdge2006]

@evergrim I think other video game composers like Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda will need to release non-soundtrack albums in the U.S. in order to be considered for a Grammy.

[@kuchikuu]

YEAH BILL HARE. WOOOOOOO!!

[@dynamicmaxwell120]

@mahinaokalani It's really hard to find time to thank everyone. He didn't mention VGL either, so I'm sure he would have loved to mention Talisman if given the amount of time. Nonetheless it's a win for everybody who participated in the song's popularity included creators listeners.

[@EvanED]

Don't be so sure. New art forms often take a while to get recognition, but they do get there with time. And though it didn't win, we've already seen another video game soundtrack (Journey, by Austin Wintory) nominated for a Grammy.

[@nothingtodo225]

whats really funny s i don't think most of them know where this song comes from

[@diegoviniciomejiaquesada4754]

Ah... The good old days when the Grammys were about culture.

[@Mickelraven]

I kinda hoped he would mention from what video game it was (Civilization 4) or Sid Meier

[@brodiger]

woo Go Christopher Tin rock on I also Think Dragon Quest Composer Koichi Sugiyama should get one

[@jedidree]

The only thing that could have made this guy more badass is if he pulled out an ocarina and played Saria's Song.

[@_BlazingRush]

@egretdingo Civ 5 was "casualized". It's not a bad thing for someone who's not used to Civ Games, which are kinda (really) complex. You don't just cheese units into oblivion kind of like in Starcraft...you need to THINK your actions and almost everything you do.

[@MajoraZ]

Next up: Martin O'donnel for the Halo theme!

[@4Got10Shadow]

I agree Nobou Uematsu and yasunori mitsuda is way better than some hollywood music composers

[@Constantinezkr]

The OST of Wrath of the Lich King should have a grammy.

[@angie_1529]

The guy at the beginning looks like Davey Havok.

[@RyuBlue]

Well I'll be...the very first time a video game song winning a Grammy... This can't be called an "Epic Win", that dosen't exactly describe it... This is a HISTORIC WIN!

[@thunderwave777]

@Truth3w3 I know it's natural to say, but you just said upvote. But this is youtube were it is called thumbs up.

[@mattiabonvento7717]

cute

[@BigAsainJake]

i think song from final fantasy should be known more esp. ff10 and ff7

[@helder.dantas]

Like number 200 =)

[@Dude902]

Nervous hand gesture x7 at 1:35

[@shibainu1683]

who are those four people who disliked this video?

[@Nikifuj908]

@deepfriedb8con What about him?

[@WasiqKhan29]

After seeing that it's song got an award...maybe I should try playing Civilizations 4. ...meh.

[@TeamKuukiFoodGames]

@JosiahTheBone they didnt have expansive musical minds u_u

[@AlfredSterphoneIII]

Is that BT handing out the award?

[@Greatdrift]

Yes!

[@Truth3w3]

@IdiotForPalin I wish I could upvote you more than once. I might have to make additional accounts.

[@gemixx8365]

Wheres one winged angels grammy?

[@deepfriedb8con]

...hans.....what about hans zimmer?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[@projectbpain44]

Mass effect should've won something!!!!
