Happy world music people singing!

[Merzbow]

Can't... get... that... darn... title... music... out... of... my... head...

It's all peaceful and stuff, then I feel guilty dropping into a game and killing millions of (virtual) people. Perhaps I should replace it with some Dimmu Borgir:

It's all very "Lion King" as I described it. And it won't get out of my head either.

So I cranked up the "Rent" soundtrack (original broadway) in my car. I'm not sure if that makes me more of a geek or not, though...

I love that this thread was started by Merzbow...

Yes, yes it does.

C'mon, sing it with me!

CHORUS
Baba yetu, Yesu uliye
Mbinguni yetu, Yesu, amina!
Baba yetu, Yesu, uliye
Jina lako litukuzwe.
(x2)

Utupe leo chakula chetu
Tunachohitaji utusamehe
Makosa yetu, hey!
Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe
Waliotukosea usitutie
Katika majaribu, lakini
Utuokoe, na yule, milelea milele!

CHORUS

Ufalme wako ufike utakalo
Lifanyike duniani kama mbinguni. (Amina)

CHORUS

Utupe leo chakula chetu
Tunachohitaji utusamehe
Makosa yetu, hey!
Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe
Waliotukosea usitutie
Katika majaribu, lakini
Utuokoe, na yule, simama mwehu

Baba yetu, Yesu, uliye
Jina lako litukuzwe.
(x2)

I think the title music is too christian,and might be offensive to some.It sounds somewhat barbaric, like a bunch of monkeys making noises in the jungle.

I love the title music... I had it stuck in my head for weeks when the game first came out.

And as for all the talk of it being "too christian".
No one heard that song and thought, "Oh, this is too Christian for me"
They found the translation of the lyrics somewhere (probably this forum) and then thought it was "too christian"
All I can say to that is: so what? Get over it... the english translation of the lyrics has nothing to do with how the song sounds...

Yeah, but it IS disconcerting to find out that the lyrics are the Lord's Prayer...just like when I was a kid and I found out that the Chronicles of Narnia were a bunch of Christian allegories....oh well, back OT, I LOVE BABA YETU!

Yes, it dissapointed me too. And what's worst - they even portrait islam in very insulting way I'm surprised that strict muslim countries haven't banned these books yet...
But anyway, the religion crap starts to reveal in last books, u can read the first books from chronicles and even didn't notice any religion stuff.

 

[Jecrell]

Wow -- in the old days everything that had Christian influence was actually considered good. When did Christ become the Devil? When did Christianity become ugly and disfigured? If it's the people who believe in Christianity and cross it that upset you -- don't take it out on this one good song, and keep it off-topic so I don't have to sort through it.

... and man that is a freaky looking picture. I don't even think goths are that gothic, you know?

 

[Ranos]

I only read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe when I was younger but found them very interesting. Maybe I should go back and read them as an adult and find out what they are really about.

As far as the title song goes, what is the translation. The words (in whatever language they are) sound really nice. I could listen to it for quite a while.

The Lord's Prayer? It goes something like this (and'a one, and'a two...):

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen

Rockin'.

So they took "The Lord's Prayer," translated it into an African (?) language and put it to music? Nice. Real nice. And here I thought it was some cool African tribal song.

Heh, basically. The language is Swahili.

I always thought it sounded like some kind of new age enya sort of stuff. I find it fitting.

Sort of off topic but I would like to point out the Chronicles of Narnia are not Christian Allegories. The writer spoke about it and stated so, its just bull**** made up by muppets.

Just like the same muppets who said that the lord of the rings was a reflection of the second world war, and that they said it had homosexual undertones as none of the women had leading roles

There are similarities in both but this is just coincidental or subconcious on behalf of the writers.

Never believe what reviewers and speculators say... I mean if you really want to hijack stories, what about starwars? Rezurection, temptation of evil and a great force which surrounds and binds us all. Christianity influenced?

Goths? Bah, they are poseurs. Black metal is where it's at (http://www.dimmu-borgir.com/). These are some of the few appropriate for this site:





They do have a touch of poseur-goth in them unfortunately:

C.S. Lewis is a widely-recognized Christian apologist.

If they aren't allegories, why is the marketing buzz for the movie starting with a targeted campaign in Catholic churches?

K, back on-topic- My wife loves Bab Yetu, too...and I have another question about the soundtrack- there is one French leader theme (I think Louis XIV?) that isn't on the soundtrack disc that came with the SE. Anyone know why?

 

[Xavier Von Erck]

Narnia is Christian allegory. My christian friends love it for that reason.

I didn't even know the starting music was the Lord's Prayer and as an Atheist since birth, I can really say that the revelation that it is makes me... not care at all, because it's still awesome opening title music that I don't mind having stuck in my head.

I'm very much liking all the new music in the game. This is the first version of Civ that I've played where I've left the in-game music unmodified.
