Thomas Bergersen - Starvation

[@decafjava8565]

People just randomly finding this song are certainly confused by comments either mentioning the Greek version of Survivor, the Dr. Who 50th anniversary fan video (about 6 years ago now!) or Bulgarian singers (who are the chorus). You don't need to understand any of it to know this is awesome!

This sounded AWESOME in Doctor Who: The First Question. No matter how overly dramatic it is, it still gives me chill every time I hear it.

I can't believe the beauty of this song, is indescriptible

[@РинбоуХоокен]

Много от вас подценяваха България,защото народът ни е бил малък,бил е как да кажа..нецензуриран и тук се обиждам най-много,какво ни има за цензуриране.За повечето американци и европейци ние сме мижитурки.И така както нашата музика така и нашите принципи бяха загубени във времето на вашата пропаганда.Този соундтрак показва гордостта на българският народ и нашите мечти.Благодаря ви Two steps from hell :)

[@MissKateSamuels]

Nobody- Part 1 0:00-0:20 In the middle of a forest Sezja lay unconscious. Wind blew eerily through her hair, and colorful bruises formed on her body. She had just been in a fight and barely escaped! 0:21-0:35 Awakening, she shivered in pain. She could hear the enemy looking for her! She tried to rise but collapsed; she was strengthless! 0:36-0:52 Hallucinating from the pain, memories flooded her. She was an outsider and had just entered the broken country. A child with beautiful eyes begged, "Can you help us?" But Sezja ignored her. The next day she watched soldiers come and attack the people, stealing and killing as they pleased... Later she found the little girl dead, her beautiful eyes still pleading... 0:53-1:12 Sezja deeply regretted her apathy, she should have helped her. Driven by this, she felt new strength surge within. Rising to her feet, she picked up her sword. The little girl's face remained in her mind. Ahead was a fortress, the target where she would seek justice. However, the soldiers she had engaged with earlier found her. "There she is!" Taking a deep breath, Sezja raised her weapon. "Kill her!"

Nobody- Part 5 3:29-3:49 Jumping to his feet, Lucian stared at her, wide eyed; blood ran down his face. No one had ever marked him before! The surprised look on his face encouraged her. "Given up?" She weakly chuckled. Intimidated, he cried, "Who are you?!" She smiled sadly, "I'm nobody" "Sir?" His men cried. He ignored them, pride clouded his mind. "LET'S END THIS!" Driven, Sezja charged first this time, her hair danced with the wind. 3:50-4:00 The warriors ran at each other; their lips curled back with rage. Lucian roared and vaulted in the air. Using the last of her strength, Sezja followed. As they clashed, they thrust their blades forward.

"My lord, we cannot send an army into the mountains! There's no way to send in a large enough force to defeat the rebels." "...then we shall send in nothing." "My lord?" "Nothing. We shall send nothing through the mountains, and we shall make sure nothing else goes through. No travellers, no goods, no shipments, no food. And when they weep, when they cry bitter tears, when their children are left as skeletons, when they surrender and *beg* for mercy, *I WILL CRY NO! FOR YOU BROUGHT THIS UPON YOURSELVES!!*" "But countless innocents will die as well!" "*Let them die. This is war.* And I shall not be held accountable for the souls the rebels allow to be lost. When lesser men lose their heads and cry for the deaths of fools, I shall hold onto my throne for years to come. I don't pretend to be a good man. I sacrificed that right for power, and I shall defend it no matter what the cost." "...no." "What?" "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't let you do this."

+Mattias Westby So I'm trying to understand what you meant. 1) Rebels in the mountains, king wants to send army to fight them. 2) King can't send in army, due to terrain. Decides to block the pathway for anyone else, including travelers and merchants. 3) Because merchants can't go in, the rebels will die of starvation (?) 4) This is too cruel, so the commander disagrees with the king, thinking he's too moral for that, and kills the king (?) Please correct me, I understand this is a year old :p

That awkward moment when you understand the lyrics and they have nothing to do with the title of the song or the feeling the music invokes. P.S. Yes, it's Bulgarian. Song title Айшинко, пиля шарено (Aishinko, little colorful bird). Old Bulgarian is hard to translate, so if someone thinks they can do it, here are the lyrics: Айшинко, пиля шарено, кутра ща вечер да дойдам със шишо вино червено и друго с бяла ракия. Със карар сипвай виното и ракияна, че вино шъко не знае и ракия с ножъ играе. Айшинко, пиля шарено

[@Anthony-yd5bo]

Aishinko, colourful bird, tonight I'll come with a bottle of red wine and another one with white rakia (rakia is a fruit brandy popular in the Balkans). Sip the wine and the rakia with measure, because the wine does not know boundaries and rakia plays with the knife. Aishinko, colourful bird. Tried to translate as accurate as possible but, since it's hard to translate from the old Bulgarian dialects, it may be a bit wrong. However, I think you can get the main idea. :)

No worries comrade, if Doctor Who has decided to use this music then they too recognize this genre's potential and power. Use it I say! Let the world know the magnificence of this genre!
