Thomas Bergersen - Fearless (Sun)

[@Tajfazon]

Ok, so i just want to state the obvious,, this is a masterpiece. The way he incorporated Balkan ethno mellodies in the epic sountrack style along with irregular 7/8 rythm is a paradigm for me to follow. Great respect.

[@solokiwidestroyer]

From listening to this, it might be 6/8ths. I am not completely sure myself, but it may explain the "hard to follow" pattern.

[@PsyphaX09]

+solokiwidestroyer I wish I studied music so that I could follow. Time signature what? lol

[@solokiwidestroyer]

+Richie Rich It's basically the rhythm music follows. By the way, it is 7/8. All it took to realize this was a good night's rest and some counting

[@sak1na]

never expected to hear my own language in a Thomas Bergersen piece. excited much!

[@hamsterman32]

what kind of lovely language is it, if I might inquire?

[@cipherdragon2537]

***** The language of epicness! XD

[@vasilrezachev4517]

***** Bulgarian

[@sak1na]

Will have to look it up :)

[@dartmira]

Ooooh couldn't have said it better! That moment when the most epic composer composes songs and loves your folk's music and just... *is off fangirling*

[@ognjenmisic8759]

Slavic languages are best for epic songs.

[@abdulqudz89]

+Ognjen Misic their vocals make the song so mystical and enchanting.

[@chowtom5174]

+Ognjen Misic don't forget the russian national anthem - very powerful piece of music

[@thealliedpowers]

+Ognjen Misic Nope. Latin.

[@ognjenmisic8759]

The Allied Powers well its personal choise.

[@miljanstanojevic7125]

+Ognjen Misic Bugari nisu Sloveni!

[@suddenpanda8955]

Wow, can't be, this bulgarian voice!!! TSFH love bulgarian folklore music, this is the 4th piece with bulgarian choir

[@rakoviaproduction]

+Ясен Маринов yep so cool and song is very epic комбинацията от западна музика с български фолклор е страхтно

[@chowtom5174]

What are the 4 pieces again? In case I missed one

[@miljanstanojevic7125]

+Ясен Маринов well it is a Bulgarian singer, but the song...well not so Bulgarian tbh, anyway Bulgarian ppl have nothing of their own, seens they r not Slavic nation, but they did accepted so much from Slavic ppl...Bulgarian nation is actualy the last one that arived on Balkan, closest nation to Bulgarians r tatars, Mongols...ect, and this song, its on Bulgarion, but its not a Bulgarian song

[@rakoviaproduction]

Miljan Stanojevic yep i know but in Slavic language

[@Drayton_Thorne]

Hive Reports YEEEES!!!

[@DestinyGuava]

jackson marley Same here, goose bumps so powerful all over my body. This song has such strong spirit.

[@alexandov]

jackson marley let me put it this way, when i want to brush my hair i listen to this. fair enough ?

[@tiborreiter]

"The enemy is here! Go! Save the others! Run deeper into the forest! I will try to distract the soldiers! Tell my family I love them! Now hurry! Whatever happens, don't look back! Run!" or another version: "You took our land, you took our families, you destroyed our homes, you took everything we had. But we will fight back. You will pay for our tears with blood, you will pay for our blood with lives. We won't stop until the last of your soldiers is either dead or away from our land. We will win and we will be free." So much emotion... There are whole stories behind every of these beautiful masterpieces.

[@ponponpain_land]

かっこいい曲って頼んだらこの曲を教えてくれたアレクサには心から感謝している ほんとうに良い曲だ

[@articfever3616]

This is what I call a powerful song.

[@Lizzards1320]

BULGARIAN music can be so powerful and emotional! Great choice Mr.Bergersen !

[@ПламенаИванова-у7о]

Feel so proud to hear the Bulgarian lyrics :)) Great work ! Many Thanks to Thomas! :)

[@SkulduggeryGaunt]

You simply cant be afraid when listening to this. I love the celtic touch in the ending! Awesome!

[@reginal.898]

I don't think it's meant to be celtic. I've seen a few traditional Bulgarian performances, and they also incorporated their bagpipes.

[@SkulduggeryGaunt]

@@reginal.898 Might be. Still, for me the song unites two things I am drawn to: Partisans and Scottish Freedom.

[@patimus1650]

This song makes me picture a single knight riding desperately toward a war he'll never win, cutting down any who stand in his way, because duty and honor force him to it.

[@origamiscienceguy6658]

Patimus the lyrics are actually Bulgarian. they are about a world war II partisan (resistance soldier) saying his goodbyes to his family, accepting her s death, then going to fight.

[@pritoranta8705]

This is one of those songs that gets better and better the more you listen to it. I didn't like the vocals at first either, but they actually fit very well.

[@denniskim331]

Another great song written in 7/8, the best time signature out there.

[@XerxesTexasToast]

Bought this album in full on Christmas, loved every second of it. This album is a masterpiece.

[@TheGuiido]

THOMAS MAKE MORE LIKE THIS. YOUR MUSIC IS LITERALLY PERFECT BUT MORE BRUTALITY AND EPICNESS TO IT WOULD TOP IT OFF.

[@TheGuiido]

Just to add, this is my favorite song ever.

[@Leoric.]

+The Guiido I really like it like REALLY but a can't tag it as favret cuz it's sounds like there saying "oh Michel bell oh we will save you" an I just can't get past it

[@hepengjia9804]

If you really like heavy climatic music losten to the albem Battlecry, also by TSFH

[@AndersonMallony-EricCF]

Fearless is currently my favorite tsfh song too, I dont speak 'bulgarian' and english is not my native language so I'm ok with the lyrics/vocals

[@dusanjovanovic114]

actually at that part the lyrics are: "Zbogom mila majko, tato, mila sestro" Which means "goodbye dear mother, father, goodbye dear sister". I'm Serb, but Serbian and Bulgarian are similar languages :)

[@krassi4947]

Браво! Поредното страхотно творение! Благодаря ти Томас!

[@shiritzumanalanae3724]

I still return to this, holds a special place in my heart. Thank you for making music that still sparks imagination to flame!

[@relax4o]

I'm glad to hear my own language in this album. Our folklore music is the best.

[@KitKat_3582]

Nearly 2 years after 1st hearing this song and it still gives me chills. _That_ is the mark of amazing music. Still remains 1 of my all-time faves.

[@simplyfantastic5777]

Never have I had more inspiration to finish writing a Geology write up in my life. Each word is a fight to the finish that will end in victory!

[@RPD49]

[@steray8one]

Whoever does not hate father and mother is not fit to be My disciple Let the dead bury their dead In the heart of every partisan lies the courage of Jesus, yet the battle is the Lord's

[@alaina3164]

If only it was longer! Two Steps From Hell never fail to impress. Every song they make is epic in it's own way

[@transmorfers94]

"Sun" is the first album from which I like every single piece! This one is absolutely amazing and I can honestly say TSFH's tracks are getting better and better! The Bulgarian vocals are simply divine!

[@nebeskisrb7765]

I noticed that in Serbian, Bulgarian and Macedonian folk songs there is a recurring motive of an enemy so powerful that fighting him means dying, yet doing so anyway.

[@silverfalcon8630]

500 years under the Ottoman Empire will do that to you.

[@fidelcashflow4940]

best reply lol

[@CobaltSthenia]

Can you give us some specific examples of other such songs? If there are songs similar to Fearless, I'd absolutely love to listen to them.

[@borisalvadzhiev621]

A time when your own life is not as important, as your countymen's well being. People did the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. A recurring theme in the whole world! The least we can do is sing few song for the countless warriors that gave us such gift.

[@nikolagreat57]

Marko Antic don't forget brother, we are still fighting for our lands and freedom, especially we Macedonians. Peace !

[@RA-lh9uh]

the lyrics of this song are just terrifing. and this powerfull melody.... my blood is frozen. you need to be a genius to create something like this. it makes me cry kistening to this

[@Electrikalforenzis]

English translation: A partisan is getting ready for a fight Placing his rifle on the shoulder; One morning a letter is received In 2-3 rows the letter says: - Goodbye dear mother, Goodbye, loving sister; I'm going to a fierce fight To perish, to die!

[@ika5666]

I don't know about Bulgarian partisans, but Soviet partisans controlled by Stalin's NKVD were mostly terrorising civilian population and committing war crimes. Surely, Soviet propaganda tells different (fake) stories. I guess this is your source of information about partisans, isn't it?

[@JohnSmith-nh3yc]

@@ika5666 the Bulgarian partisans were fighting against the Nazi occupation

[@ika5666]

@@JohnSmith-nh3yc There was no Nazi occupation of Bulgaria. Bulgaria was an ally of Germany. There was a Soviet occupation, however, and no Bulgarian partisan was fighting against it. So those partisans were just an arm of Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe, not freedom fighters.

I actually learned a lesson by listening to this. At first I didn't like this song, but when I listened to the whole thing, I actually found out i really like it! Once again, very good job Thomas Bergersen.

[@Ramseas119]

writing an essay on how music effects learning for Psychology class. cant help but notice the way that as society turns further towards "new music" like rap and dubstep, the general vocabulary of people begins to degrade, then i come to the comment section of TSFH videos and see people writing so poetically, flourishing vocabularies everywhere. music truly has an effect on how we think. and the kind of music can affect who you are. it is a type of literature, and as Orwell said "If people cannot write well, they cannot think well, and if they cannot think well, others will do their thinking for them.”

Fears. They feel inescapable, intolerable, they are chains that withhold us from greatness. A shadow always following us, reminding us how scared we are, and all the failure that is possible. You cannot get rid of a shadow, but a shadow cannot change your actions. It's always there, but if we choose to, we can walk right through it. Sorry, I was seeing all these inspiring quotes and felt like writing a little something. Carry on. :D
