"Wander My Friends" - So Say We All: Battlestar Galactica Live

New #Musicvideo! #WanderMyFriends, my bittersweet anthem sung in Scottish Gaelic, evolved into the Adama family theme on #BattlestarGalactica. I hoped this #live version would distill all its variations into a definitive, cohesive emotional experience.

so say we all

[@johnflory-u5z]

Amazing, especially live with Bear, Tina, Rya and the whole tribe.. So Say We All!!

[@richardmoloney689]

All the Irish/ Celtic music in the series was amazing and so authentic. So were the words in the song. So say I and the people of Ireland.

[@theapocalex]

WOW! What i would have given to be sat there listening to this spectacular piece in person. Amongst the sea of rubbish we are forced to swim in, there is still good music to be found out there.

[@simonrayner1094]

Who is the guy who plays multiple instruments? Tin whistle, bag pipes, etc. ??? Anyhow, an exceptional talent!!

[@Skyebright1]

Uilleann pipes or Irish pipes ;)

[@danjohnston9037]

Before I Even Hear A Single Note; THANK YOU

[@williamwallace2823]

This is so wonderful. I'm glad you uploaded a high quality version. You are truly inspired, and this theme, no matter how many times I listen to it, never fails to evoke so many emotions. Well done =)

[@EnigmaticPenguin]

This is one of those songs where I much prefer the live performance over the album.

[@benjamingarnett]

Oh man. How many years has it been and I still get a tear when this one comes up.

[@RicardoBanffy]

Goosebumps. Check.

ORIGINAL GAELIC LYRICS: Siúlaigí a chairde, siúlaidh liom Mar cheo an tsléibhe uaine ag Imeacht go deo D'ainneoin ár dtuirse leanfam an tslí Thar chnoic is thar ghleannta Go deireadh na scríbi Seo libh a chairde is canaidh liom Líonaigí'n oíche le greann is le spórt Seo sláinte na gcarad atá imithe uainn Mar cheo an tsléibhe uaine Iad imithe go deo ENGLISH TRANSLATION: Wander my friends, wander with me Like the mist on the green mountain, moving eternally Despite our weariness We'll follow the road Over hill and valleys To the end of the journey Come on my friends and sing with me Fill the night with joy and sport Here's a toast to the friends who have gone from us Like the mist of the green mountain Gone forever

What is the woodwind instrument used to play this?

Irish flute I think

Shaky cam and quick cuts on par with a bad action movie. I think the director forgot to read the job description.

It’s pretty in line with the show 😂

Bear, I doubt you'll ever see this, but jesus christ are you one of the best composers of our age. I just cannot get over the way you fuse so many genres and instruments together into pieces that sound so obvious in retrospect, but no one else seems to be doing. This piece just solidifies for me how great your music is and it makes me want to watch anything you compose for.

[@richardmoloney689]

The ancients' language was Irish

[@guillaumemontagnana9627]

I'm irish, I speak gaelic, and I think the singer doesn't know what he's singing. He can't even say "go deo" correctly! (it's easy, just gotta hear somebody saying "Eire go deo") Anyway, i sung that song at my gdad's funerals (with translations for english speakers cause not everybody understands irish in my family, or barely). Nobody knew it was from BSG, and I was like "best song for the best series for the best man i've ever met". I wish someone would do the same for me at my funerals, like playing the Colonial Anthem, or sing Wander My Friends, or just have a beer on my grave saying even dead i'm still alive. Anyway, great work dude, i bought your album and it's so great !

[@EmeraldSky33]

I performed this at a little céilí in Irish class in the States. This was my introduction to Gaeilge as a teenager and it's the reason I later learned. I'm sorry for your loss and may your grandad's memory be a blessing!

[@GrayNeko]

For whatever it's worth, I'll have a pint for your memory, sir! ^_^

[@RobBryar]

Every time I hear this song; I'm transported to a hill in Ireland. I have never been there, but I know it is real and it exists. Overlooking a town, along the western coast. This hill has a gnarled old tree, that twists towards the edge of the hill. The town is a small sea side town, resting in a valley along the edge of the sea. It's hidden, nestled in wedged between the hills and the coast. The houses of the town are painted white, such a white that almost causes the houses to glow in the sunlight. The roofs are all variations of greens and reds. Every time this song takes me there. To a home I've only known in my heart

[@owen_brennan]

Sounds like somewhere in West Clare. Doolin maybe 😊

[@odiedodieuk]

I never bothered to look up the actual translation. It’s a tough one to sing along to 😂

[@BikerGeek]

Still you're best work..

[@isabellal1252]

Now I need to know if this video is cut from several concerts or did the guy playing 1st violin(?) have his glasses on and just quickly pull them off before he was in the shot again. Edit. He keeps taking them off and putting them back on 😂 movie magic.

[@timezoneiiichickenisaveget9745]

Bruh lol

[@timezoneiiichickenisaveget9745]

How did you see that

[@isabellal1252]

I just noticed something was different from the Prelude to war video. Now I need to go back to that one too. On a side note, these live versions are the bomb.

[@BanthaWorship]

The only thing more dramatic than a soprano is 1st violin. lol. But they're probably just hot/catching glare in the stage lights sometimes.

[@EnigmaticPenguin]

There were two nights they did the show and the performance video is mixing them together for the best angles.

[@大王不要停]

So Say We All

[@Ladco77]

If I could have done anything I wanted in this life, it would be perform music like this professionally.

[@RahhmiPoofs]

you still can. Trust me on this. Grab an instrument and spend all your time on it. In a year you'll sound good enough to amuse yourself, in 5 you'll wonder how you ever didn't know, and in 10 you'll be bored and adding solos or whatever to other things while collaborating with people you idolized.

[@odiedodieuk]

I’d settle for the penny whistle guy.

[@RajaRickin]

nice to see gauis baltar's son as lead singer

[@ludeman]

Do you know this is real music because it ages so well

[@NaliamCantero]

Ok it's awesome but the great begins when in 3:50 video director doesn't know whats is playing, and camera is hunting here and there until you finish in the 3:55 with the score all full of silence... I'm not a friend of the flute player, but I'm sorry for him. Still a great song and performance. Oh man you need more subs. After the new Rings of power I thought everybody will be over here looking for the theme of the rings.

[@Rees2005]

The best series music ever! Thank you Bear and Co.🎶💗

[@Turnidenwa]

I cry everytim. Seriously though, this has piece has been with me since childhood when I first watched this show. Its such a power piece of hope.

Binge watch this show almost every winter. Prior to BSG, I was the typical Trekie. Wish the last season could have been stretched out just a little more, but all the loose ends came together well.
