Petition to add Christopher Tin to Civ as a great musician.
That would actually make sense...
why have I never thought of this?
best idea ever
If he appeared in Civ IV he would appear as a Great Artist, since it's the closest unit to what he makes, music.
I sign that petition.
10 years ago today, Baba Yetu became the first, and so far the only, video game track to win a Grammy
Really? That's... Not so surprising, it's an awesome theme XD
i would of thought sogno di volare would get one too
Really?
@@Revan-293 its a good song
Richly deserved 👏👏👏
This song is hyping me to the next game more than anything. I've been listening to it for the last 14 years
My dad passed away on November 16th and he used to play this game when I was little, I had completely forgotten about it until today I started randomly humming it, I love you dad
Oh no… I am so, so, so sorry to hear that. My deepest condolences. 😥
@@christophertin Thank you, it truly means a lot
There are 33 more people that, like me, liked your comment to support you. I just wanted to write this so you would know.
@@ralisgroffen thank you so much
Gosh damn, I’m sorry. how’s it going?
Also, I don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested
"A Great Musician has appeared in your civilization"
This comment is so underrated lmfao
Modders should get to work on that if they havent.
@@ryanrebelo9653 it deserved more border expansion
Fun fact: this is the Lord’s Prayer in Swahili
Ayo, I don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events. *IF* anyone is interested, read on.
*NOTE:* I can’t prove God to you. It all comes down to your choice to put your trust in Jesus Christ. That’s all faith is-TRUST. Unfortunately in these recent years, science and “religion” (as we know them today) have bastardized each other and themselves.
Point is, faith is trusting in Jesus. It’s not a blind jump into what people deem “irrational.” Billy Graham said something reminiscent of that.
I have no power over you. I can only tell you, but I can’t force you. (I mean, we’re conversing online lol. I’m not at your location… yet)
james 4:8 “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
Check out “HolyLandSite, Cold-Case Christianity, Delafé Testimonies.” There may be more, but those are the ones I know of.
religion (Christianity) is just a relationship with God along with loving others (see james 1:27)
*Now, onto the evidence!!*
Here's one example: Scientists have discovered that the earth "skipped" a day.
The Bible explains how that happened. In the book of Joshua, Joshua asked the sun to stop so he and the Israelites could defeat their enemies. Then in 2 Kings, King Hezekiah learned he was dying, and pleaded to God to not let him die. God sent a prophet to king hezekiah who said hezekiah would live. Hezekiah wanted a sign, and that would be for the sun to defy the law of inertia and go back 10 degrees. NASA confirmed all this and did the math (look it up for more info).
We also found Noah’s Ark hanging out in turkey, along with anchor stones marked with crosses signifying that it’s a revered place, along with altars and many other related findings. Look it up, it’s good stuff (HolyLandSite).
more evidence for the Bible concerning cosmology and divine revelation in job 26:7, proverbs 8:27, Isaiah 40:22 (read on)
The idea that the earth was round can be dated back to 600 BC in Greece. It was more widely accepted around the 3rd century (300 BC-201 BC) The idea that the Earth floated in space was concocted circa 500 BC. Note: time was “labeled” differently back then. for example, year 3000, year 420, year 69, year 0, year 1, year 2… and so on.
Job 26:7: “. . .He [God] hangs the earth on nothing” The book of Job was supposedly written at 2100 BC.
Proverbs 8:27: “. . .when He drew a circle on the face of the deep. . .” Proverbs was possibly written between 970 and 686 BC
Isaiah 40:22: “it is He who sits above the circles of the earth. . .” Isaiah was written between 739 and 680 BC.
This one doesn’t pertain to cosmology, but it refers to divine revelation nonetheless. So you know how the Euphrates River is drying up? Well, guess what? People in the Bible are saying: “Been there, done that.” Read on to learn more.
Isaiah 11:15 “The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea; with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into seven streams so that anyone can cross over in sandals.”
Revelation 16:12 “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.”
How did they know about this? You tell me, my fellow Zoomerz.
Now for evidence outside the Bible
The Holy Spirit exists. I was suicidal for 9-ish months, but then I read John 3:16, and poof- the big sad went away in one night.
Also, look up John Gabbana's (boonk gang) testimony. Dude did a lot of wacky stuff. He's changed now.
Check out “Delafé Testimonies.” They got some good stuff as well
*YOU CANNOT DENY THE WORK GOD DOES IN PEOPLE’S LIVES*
also, the soul exists. someone i know (i won't say who- privacy reasons) saw their soul leaving their body. like pulling off a band-aid, except it doesn't hurt.
*There are also non-Christian sources who have confirmed the existence and divinity of Jesus, some of which were hostile towards Christianity, such as:*
Thallus (52 AD), who said Jesus lived, was crucified, and confirmed the darkness and earthquake that followed Christ’s crucifixion;
Tacitus (56-120 AD), who called the followers of Christ “Christians,” confirmed that Jesus was crucified under Pontus Pilate’s command;
Talmud (400-700 AD), confirmed that the disciples were martyred for their faith, and confirmed Jesus was executed the day before the Passover, and said Jesus had “magical” powers;
Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), who said that the Christians thought Jesus was/is God in the Flesh (God the Son);
Phlegon (80-140 AD), who said Jesus had the ability to predict the future, and confirmed that Jesus was crucified during Caesar’s reign, confirmed Jesus rose from the dead, and confirmed He showed His wounds to confirm He was crucified;
Celcus (175 AD), who said Jesus was born of a virgin, said His father is a carpenter, and confirmed Jesus had miraculous powers;
(See cold-case Christianity for more details)
Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection:
1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (even the disciples thought Jesus would never make the ultimate comeback)
2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs
3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (The disciples deserted Him, remember? They didn’t have any help. Everyone said, “Crucify Him!” major L to those opposed to Jesus)
4) there was a Roman seal which was a metal pin that sealed the tomb stone (they would have to break that off; there were well-trained Roman guards there as well).
5) Stealing the Jesus’s body isn’t something the disciples would do (besides Judas. Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus).
6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback. They were called to not be liars. I mean, they hung out with the Son of God/God in the flesh. Come on, now).
faith, science, and reason, people (as we all know them today, and as it was before all those things were tarnished)
Brothers, what have we done. look at us. look at what we've become. This isn't right. we're wasting time going on about girls and sus drawings that don't give a f*ck about us. What is the point of lust? Why do we do this? This doesn't fix our problems, doesn't make the stress and pain go away.
repent to God, friends. We must stay focused, brothers, on what really matters. I'm only 17, but I'm telling you, in the words of johnny cash, "sooner or later God will cut you down."
I don’t want you to suffer like I did/do.
*YOU WILL LOSE ALMOST EVERYTHING IMPORTANT TO YOU! PLEASE, FOR YOUR SAKES, REPENT AND TURN TO JESUS! SAVE YOURSELVES FROM YOURSELVES! It’s a pit you *CAN NOT* get out of. *AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO! I LOVE AND CARE FOR YOU TO TELL YOU THIS!* He is, to quote Skillet, "better than drugs." He is also *WAY* better than lust. love is greater than lust. You'll find out that this is true. love may hurt, and same for lust, but lust will keep you chained down, eventually killing you mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and possibly physically. AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO!
hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
God knew we were wack, but He decided He He’ll come down and help us, despite our unfaithfulness. most relationships (like friendships, romantic relationships) aren't like this. Very few, but not a whole lot.

Baba Yetu- the only piece of music from a video game to ever receive a Grammy
It really is an achievement yet to be surpassed, although I still think 'Sogno di Volare' is a close contender.
First, but no longer only. This year an arrangement of Meta Knight's Revenge won a grammy too. It's a small but very special club.

Yup. The CIV VII trailer was solid, but it's not Baba Yetu. Later devs should have swallowed their pride and accepted that's the theme of Civilization.
That’s me rn
Always
I can't believe I am getting nostalgic thinking of civ7 and listening to Baba Yetu
Civilization IV is literally the hardest game ever made. I can't even leave the title screen.
The fact that 12 years later this song is still in so many people's memory shows how truly remarkable it was. Great job!

Feel better soon!
Civilization 7 has been announced for 2025 release. Mr. Tin should have this song in it along with other past Civ themes in honor of this game's history. Of all the themes, this one is by far the best one to date.
I do not speak Swahili, nor am I, Christian. I am, however, a human being, and thus I sing this song. My voice is weak and untrained, but in the chorus of humanity, I am a little bit in the sea of brave souls hurtling through the cosmos on a tiny blue rock. Thank you for bringing this amazing piece into our tiny world, Mr.Tin.
_“What will your civilization stand for?”_
A question we should be asking ourselves now.

This song is essentially a culmination of world cultures working together to create a beautiful song.
The lyrics are a Swahili translation of a Hebrew verse popularized by a European religion.
The composer is a Japanese immigrant to America.
The game itself is based upon making a civilization, which can be based upon many civilizations that existed in the world.
Mr. Worldwide
Sorry he's not Japanese
christopher tin's parents are chinese, he was born in america
What's the European religion? Judaism? Christianity? Both originated in the Middle East, but both can be called European.
@@senseishu937 I meant Christianity, but I do think now that you mentioned it that I could've said "Middle Eastern religion popular in Europe"
A fact is, after 13 years, there's still someone that comes from civ 6, wondered and traveled across the sea of internet to pilgrim this masterpiece.
And it seems, they're not alone.

Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), who said that the Christians thought Jesus was/is God in the Flesh (God the Son);
Phlegon (80-140 AD), who said Jesus had the ability to predict the future, and confirmed that Jesus was crucified during Caesar’s reign, confirmed Jesus rose from the dead, and confirmed He showed His wounds to confirm He was crucified;
Celcus (175 AD), who said Jesus was born of a virgin, said His father is a carpenter, and confirmed Jesus had miraculous powers;
(See cold-case Christianity for more details)
Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection:
1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (even the disciples thought Jesus would never make the ultimate comeback)
2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs
3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (The disciples deserted Him, remember? They didn’t have any help. Everyone said, “Crucify Him!” major L to those opposed to Jesus)
4) there was a Roman seal which was a metal pin that sealed the tomb stone (they would have to break that off; there were well-trained Roman guards there as well).
5) Stealing the Jesus’s body isn’t something the disciples would do (besides Judas. Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus).
6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback. They were called to not be liars. I mean, they hung out with the Son of God/God in the flesh. Come on, now).
faith, science, and reason, people (as we all know them today, and as it was before all those things were tarnished)
Brothers, what have we done. look at us. look at what we've become. This isn't right. we're wasting time going on about girls and sus drawings that don't give a f*ck about us. What is the point of lust? Why do we do this? This doesn't fix our problems, doesn't make the stress and pain go away.
repent to God, friends. We must stay focused, brothers, on what really matters. I'm only 17, but I'm telling you, in the words of johnny cash, "sooner or later God will cut you down."
I don’t want you to suffer like I did/do.
*YOU WILL LOSE ALMOST EVERYTHING IMPORTANT TO YOU! PLEASE, FOR YOUR SAKES, REPENT AND TURN TO JESUS! SAVE YOURSELVES FROM YOURSELVES! It’s a pit you *CAN NOT* get out of. *AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO! I LOVE AND CARE FOR YOU TO TELL YOU THIS!* He is, to quote Skillet, "better than drugs." He is also *WAY* better than lust. love is greater than lust. You'll find out that this is true. love may hurt, and same for lust, but lust will keep you chained down, eventually killing you mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and possibly physically. AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO!
hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
God knew we were wack, but He decided He He’ll come down and help us, despite our unfaithfulness. most relationships (like friendships, romantic relationships) aren't like this. Very few, but not a whole lot.

This video was published 2009 and he is still going based from the evidence of him hearting comments from a day to a few hours ago. Truly an amazing musician.
And an amazing man overall
I'm from Tanzania 🇹🇿 I speak Swahili as my first language and this song is a prize for me and my Swahili speakers. We feel so honored that you chose Swahili to compose this legendary song. How could you love us this much?
Aww! ❤️❤️❤️
Hujambo! (I hope that's correct?) Africa is everyone's ancestral home, and the deep roots of your language speak to our bones about how we are all brothers and sisters. I think it's a perfect choice, and I'm glad you're happy it can be shared with us all. Asante.
@@daruddock Sijambo! (that's how we reply and yes, it's correct :-)). I'm very happy to see our language is valued and shared.
Swahili is indeed a beautiful language and I hope to hear more epic music like this in that language. Latin and Russian work great for powerful music, but there's a lot of potential to be had with Swahili. The Circle of Life and Baba Yetu are proof of that.
@@daruddock Yeah i love the combination of language thats sort of cradle of human kind and lyrics that reference religion thats sort of cradle of western civilization (which is kinda dominant across the world)
I'm now double the age I was when I first heard this song.
Still gives me chills.
same here!!!
u 24/26?
I played this song in band 2 years ago. Rip sophomore year.
Also, fun fact: this is the Lord’s Prayer in Swahili
Ayo, I don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events. *IF* anyone is interested, read on.
*NOTE:* I can’t prove God to you. It all comes down to your choice to put your trust in Jesus Christ. That’s all faith is-TRUST. Unfortunately in these recent years, science and “religion” (as we know them today) have bastardized each other and themselves.
Point is, faith is trusting in Jesus. It’s not a blind jump into what people deem “irrational.” Billy Graham said something reminiscent of that.
I have no power over you. I can only tell you, but I can’t force you. (I mean, we’re conversing online lol. I’m not at your location… yet)
james 4:8 “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
Check out “HolyLandSite, Cold-Case Christianity, Delafé Testimonies.” There may be more, but those are the ones I know of.
religion (Christianity) is just a relationship with God along with loving others (see james 1:27)
*Now, onto the evidence!!*
Here's one example: Scientists have discovered that the earth "skipped" a day.
The Bible explains how that happened. In the book of Joshua, Joshua asked the sun to stop so he and the Israelites could defeat their enemies. Then in 2 Kings, King Hezekiah learned he was dying, and pleaded to God to not let him die. God sent a prophet to king hezekiah who said hezekiah would live. Hezekiah wanted a sign, and that would be for the sun to defy the law of inertia and go back 10 degrees. NASA confirmed all this and did the math (look it up for more info).
We also found Noah’s Ark hanging out in turkey, along with anchor stones marked with crosses signifying that it’s a revered place, along with altars and many other related findings. Look it up, it’s good stuff (HolyLandSite).
more evidence for the Bible concerning cosmology and divine revelation in job 26:7, proverbs 8:27, Isaiah 40:22 (read on)
The idea that the earth was round can be dated back to 600 BC in Greece. It was more widely accepted around the 3rd century (300 BC-201 BC) The idea that the Earth floated in space was concocted circa 500 BC. Note: time was “labeled” differently back then. for example, year 3000, year 420, year 69, year 0, year 1, year 2… and so on.
Job 26:7: “. . .He [God] hangs the earth on nothing” The book of Job was supposedly written at 2100 BC.
Proverbs 8:27: “. . .when He drew a circle on the face of the deep. . .” Proverbs was possibly written between 970 and 686 BC
Isaiah 40:22: “it is He who sits above the circles of the earth. . .” Isaiah was written between 739 and 680 BC.
This one doesn’t pertain to cosmology, but it refers to divine revelation nonetheless. So you know how the Euphrates River is drying up? Well, guess what? People in the Bible are saying: “Been there, done that.” Read on to learn more.
Isaiah 11:15 “The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea; with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into seven streams so that anyone can cross over in sandals.”
Revelation 16:12 “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.”
How did they know about this? You tell me, my fellow Zoomerz.
Now for evidence outside the Bible
The Holy Spirit exists. I was suicidal for 9-ish months, but then I read John 3:16, and poof- the big sad went away in one night.

This was made 13 years ago and he still checks his comments and likes them, what a guy!
There he is! Haha. Love it
This should be the official anthem of humanity
It kinda is if you're christian.
My grandmother and I would always be in the kitchen together when I played Civilization IV, she never understood what i was doing or why but she always took interest regardless and we had a couple inside jokes about the game after I developed a habit of going to her house to play all the time, she unfortunately passed away from cancer 2 years ago but this song right here brings her back starkly in my mind, her voice and laughter and all our good times together.. I simply can't put into words how much I appreciate what you and Firaxis have done with the Civilization series... Thank you, and please keep the army of war elephants safe for me, grandma ;)
Oh, this comment got me right in the feels...
I can't imagine losing my Grandma, it's just too upsetting to think about. I'm sorry for your loss, even if it was two years ago. Here's to your Grandma! A great women who took an interest in your game! If there is an afterlife, then I'm sure she's still watching you play Civ to this day, with a smile on her face. Have a good day, Ayden Linden.
Thank you so much kind sir even if you never see this comment I appreciate it so much
Everytime you’d boot up Civ 4 you’d have to listen to this song it was the law.
Baba yetu, yetu uliye (Our, our Father who are)
Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina (In heaven, our, our, amen)
Baba yetu, yetu, uliye (Our, our Father, who are)
Jina lako litukuzwe (Let's glorify your name)
Baba yetu, yetu uliye (Our, our Father who are)
Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina (In heaven, our, our, amen)
Baba yetu, yetu, uliye (Our, our Father, who are)
Jina lako litukuzwe (Let's glorify your name)
Utupe leo chakula chetu (Give us today our food)
Tunachohitaji utusamehe (We need you to forgive us)
Makosa yetu, hey (Our errors, hey)
Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe (As we do forgive those)
Waliotukosea, usitutie (Who did us wrong, don't put us)
Katika majaribu, lakini (Into trials, but)
Utuokoe, na yule, milele na milele (Save us, with him, for ever and ever)
Thank you!
First video game song to get an Grammy. And for good reasons.
Does anyone else get chills whenever they hear this song?
If so, I'll be freaking chill since I listen this every day😂😂
After all these years, I find myself coming back to this and the theme for Civ 6. I used them both in college during a music class as a video essay and my teacher took me aside and admitted that she would never have taken video games seriously as an art form before. This music is forever timless and just inspires and is beautiful.
Went here because our choir performed this.
Played this every day.
Even though I never played Civilization IV.
Amazing.
The language is ugly, European languages are better
@@groupvucic2235 european language as a whole can never be better when the french are in there.
Such a fun song to sing a choir
"A great musician was born in your generation."
How can I like this comment more then once?
I vote Christopher Tin be added as a Great Musician in the next expansion
C. Tin still casually hearting almost everything.
Best version. I am ready for CIV VII
I suddenly realized that I've listened to this song literally dozens of times and I've never left a comment to say "Thank you, Christopher, for this masterpiece".
this guy is a genius, he did it again in CIV 6
who?
Let me guess, Christopher Tin !
Thebossvaluc
thx
Indeed! Second homerun
Literally in the video title
This song was such a big part of my childhood when I used to play Civilization 4 every day and enjoyed every second of it, I never skipped the intro each time I replayed it, such a fantastic masterpiece of a song!
to this day one of the greatest pieces of video game music ever
Yes
A Great Musician has been born in your civilization!
When you finally build the pyramids in 1840 after surviving a nuclear war with ghandi
nice to see you still hearthing comments after all this time
My son's school orchestra performed this last night with a gospel choir and I could not stop myself from crying. I had entirely forgotten about this magnificent piece of music.
Not too long ago this year actually I bread about Stellenbosch Choir singing this song and I do not remember what for lol. Something was like I must listen to this song and never got around to it lol. This morning saw it as a TH-cam suggestion and played it. Glad I did. This is a beautiful peace!!!!!
There's probably a lot of Civ gamers in your son's administration
Years ago I wrote an e-mail. On the webpage there had been sheets for all kinds of instruments for sale but not for my clarinet. As I play a Bb-Clarinet I needed fitting sheets... and manual transposition with pen and blank sheets just sucks! 😂 You won't believe what happened: I got a reply from Christopher Tin personally advising me which one to chose.... I have saved that e-mail! 😉
That man is a legend in every way possible. A truly great personality!
The fact that this comment section is still active is a testament to how good this song is
I just started Civ 6. Loved the volare song as well
@@kingseiryu929 Great to see Civ 6 gaining some popularity lately, I downloaded it a few days ago and damn is it one of the best games i've played
Was written for the Civilization game by Mr. Tin who was a fan of the series, interestingly enough this song was also the first ever video game theme song to win a Grammy Award.
The song is actually the entire Lord's prayer sung in Swahili.
It’s impossible to hear this and not feel faith in humanity.
totally agreed, to talk about myself I am studying environmental engineering and I am really not happy when I see this planned messed up by many of us, but I really can not express how much I love my species, and that keeps me going every day to work for a better future for everyone of us
After all, I am so proud to be a part of this species❣❤ we have reached so much and there is so much that need to be reached in the future, the ending scene with space travel really got me emotional
It’s the Lord’s Prayer in Swahili. As such, it’s giving glory to God, not man. However, I completely understand what you’re feeling.
@@L_mattoxPraise God!
I'm glad people still listen to this after 12 years
legendary game!
I watch this video with my mom every time I visit. I've never played Civ 4. The video is just that good.
One day when the world is united, THIS needs to be the World Hymn..
Yeah, I agree
No, the Imperial March would be much more appropriate, in that circumstance.
When is the Imperial March not appropriate?
It will be. Do you know what Baba Yetu is?
Like that'll happen
We’re singing this at church for our multicultural mass/festival. Our choir director was like “don’t let anyone know this is from a video game” but it’s just so awesome.
Many of us who love History have been playing Civilization since 1991. But Christopher Tin has condensed the spirit not only of the game but of human history itself. And he has also reminded us that spirituality (baba yetu, our father) can still inspire mankind to great creations. That must be why this music has transcended the game itself. Congratulations Christopher and thank you for still reading the comments even after so many years!
Yea, but this song is Christian, so you’re basically confusing mankind with majority society.
I had the privilege of singing the male solo for this in my high school choir about 10 years ago. Absolutely the high point of my school choir career and even 10 years later I still come back to it and it still gives me goosebumps everytime. What an absolutely great song!
Oh I am proud for you man 💪🏻
Probably the only time I actually sat in a game's menu just to listen to the music.
same here
I did that with fallout 4, dao, league of legends and loads more...
Never played Fallout 4 (not into post apocolyptic) but I never did on those others. Just for civ4.
with fallout 4? It is not that epic. I mean, i am a huge fan of fallout and it is really nice. But i rather click 3 time to play than listen to the main menu theme :D
It's probably just a nostalgia thing for me then, growing up on fallout 3 and elder scrolls oblivion.
a certified hood classic
This is the Lord’s Prayer (Our father who art in heaven ..etc ) but sung in Swahili 😍
Ayyy a man of culture!

Gosh, I love this song so much... it almost makes me want to do another ENTIRE cover of the song!! LOVE YOU CHRIS! ;)
Hi peter such a huge fan your music gets me through my depression. Your music is what i listened to when i was in the hospital. Wish i could sing and meet you. To me your my hero. I never had one before but your my hero thank you.
Hey man! Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks Sir! The real meaning of this song really gets me through. They say Angels exist yet i'm talking to two angels now!
hey you may come to Tanzania so we can sing more Swahili song if your interesting
For those who don't know, Baba Yetu is the Lord's Prayer in Swahili
It's an heartfelt piece
I'll constantly be amazed at how Chris managed to arrange something as 'commonplace' as the lord's prayer in another language into one of the most triumphant pieces of music I've ever heard... Very few orchestral compositions manage to have such an inspiring tone, and despite its brevity and use as a video game soundtrack (or perhaps because of those exact reasons) I truly believe this piece will be historically remembered alongside Mahler and Beethoven's 5th, the Goldberg Variations, Cello Suite No. 1, etc. as one of the greatest pieces of composition ever undertaken and performed...
In case anyone was wondering (or didn't know), Baba Yetu is the Lord's prayer in Swahili.
In civ 7 we need Christopher tin as a Great Musician.
You have a funny way of spelling Danny Devito
Deserved the Grammy. One of the best pieces of music in a video game, definitely still gets my blood pumping, still holds up.
benedictify It won a grammy at the 2010 grammy awards
im singing this in my choir at school! we sound so good and im so happy to be singing this!!!
I sung it in choir too, it was super fun. Good luck at your concert!
I sung it in highschool and 5 years later I'm still attached ❤
Can't believe it's been 14 years.
The game was released in 2005 though.
5,000 years of human civilization and I get born in the meme era.
I wouldn't have it any other way
what only 5k years?
chiliman 30.000 years
Modern human history, i.e Mesopotamia and onwards.
5000? you could probably easily add another 10k on that
It's 5 million years..
Still stupid people lel.
Oh the things we humans could do if we worked together.
I see you went the diplomatic victory.
tsc2001 no Alexander city spammed and stole all the city states
My sister kept rewinding this song to listen to it again and again for twelve hours and thinks it may end up as her number one song on spotify wrapped. She says there is no way she will listen to another song as much as she listened to this song ever again.
I'm a percussionist in this local group from Seattle, and we're gonna perform this next March. I'm already hyped.
humanity looks so great and triumphant from a distance...
yes but one who makes no mistakes learns nothing
does not* my bad
Really we don't. In the grand scheme of everything, we are nothing.
+Longworth just because we are tiny in the grand scheme of things does make nothing. Personally i think this finiteness and insignificance is what gives us any meaning at all.
+Edward Dundoned smith dont get me wrong, I think what humanity has endured is truly amazing, but when you look at what we are in everything we are nothing more than a spec of dust.
Who's still listening to this song in July 2023❤
Age of mythology and civ 4 were the first games I had a kid (also nanosaur).
After 14 years of loving this song I realized what is the meaning of the lyrics and it is just too much for me. I cry. Thank you mr Tin
wow, it gave you heart
"Baba yetu, yetu uliye
Mbinguni yetu, yetu amina!"
Translation:
Our Gandhi, father of peace, Nuke us not, we plead, Gandhi!
Actually, the translation is
"Our Father, who art in our
Our heaven, our amen!"
.... though that was pretty funny
Thank you. It's the Lord's prayer. Nothing to do with ghandi lol. But I guess that was a joke. Its such a gorgeous song!
civ joke, NICE!
Nuclear Gandhi!!!!
Hahahaha is that a BUG ?
Wow. It takes a special kind of song to make me nostalgic for a game I’ve never played.
Goffdude24 If you have a Switch Civilization 6 is coming out for it! If you don’t if you have a PC you should try the many Civilization games! Warning you are going to get a case of the one more turn disease if you play these games! ;)
GoldenAbyss 619 I’ve played the crap out of Civ 5, and got Civ 6, but still prefer Civ 5. I’ve never played 4, but I’m considering buying it just for the song.
Civ 4 is much less expensive than Civ5 and Civ6 also.
We spent most of the time having it loop on the menu screen with this song, rather than playing it anyway.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
When I loaded the game up for the first time as a kid, I listened to this like 19 times in a row before I could start the game. Same thing happened in civ V cos you would have baba yetu play sometimes when you picked up a tribal hut, it was such an awesome surprise, every civ game should have this song as an Easter egg.
legit, 11 years after this video was posted and he is still hearting comments from like ten hours ago. That is... actually impressive
Right? I imagine it's become part of his routine or something to have some time to read what people are thinking of this masterpiece, just so he can enjoy the joy he has shared with everyone :D
I try to check every day, mostly to show my appreciation to my listeners. :)
@@christophertin ♥️ it, we appreciate it (your appreciation)
@@christophertin Good lord!
@@christophertin How have you been doing all these years? I hope inspiration is ever present for you!
That transition at the end always gets me... So beautiful: the dream of humanity to reach the stars, it's destiny through the ages. Then Gandhi declares war or whatever.
Ghandhi is the kind of guy that would mass produce death stars. We're really quite blessed that we only need to play on one planet...
+Rayalot72 its always a shock when Gandhi declares nuclear war on you for the first time
A man I called dad and father died 3 weeks ago on October 18th 2023 of over dose this was his favorite song Victor I love and miss you and you will forever be in my heart. I will Remember and cherish you ever time I hear this song. Love a boy whom you call son
I’m so sorry for your loss.
So sorry. That you keep him alive in your mind and in your heart.
R.I.P May his soul rest in peace
May God be with you. And May He give His angels charge over you to protect you in all your ways.
14年も前なのに、まだこの曲を聴き続けてる人が居るんだなー
かく言う自分もその一人だけど。
まさに文化的勝利だ
Can you get nostalgia for a game you've never played
"Hey Chris, I need you to sum up the last 10,000 years of human civilization in a 3 minute song"
"Sure, no problem"
Im not a christian, but isn't it fascinating that you can sum up 10,000 years of human history with the "Our Father" prayer?
The song is the lords prayer this is just a video with the song over it.
@@ISAYWORDS1 wait why 10K instead of 2K?
@@15minutegaming32 Well, agriculture was discovered ~ 10,000 years ago. The game itself starts in 4000 BC, when Sumer, the first "civilisation", was around.
@@jadpole But I thought the Lord's Prayer would have dated itself in the last 2000 years instead of in the last 8000?
just cried and peed myself to sleep. Thank you Mr Tin.
What a power move. Respect.
This should be humanity's anthem
Bro definitly
I mean ... It is THE Christian Prayer.
@@EpicMTGMusic"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another". One and only TRUE RELIGION!
@@Marcinex22 humnnn... Say that it is the True religion to the Muslim people. Or the Hindi people. Or the Jewish people. Or the Vooduum People. Or the Bhudist people.
I think the national anthem should just be singing about the glory of humanity
If earth had an anthem this would be it.
It's a prayer.
Not an anthem.
Correct. This would definitely be the anthem.
@@penemuelwatcher2378 they know, but they’re saying if the Earth had an anthem, it would be Baba Yetu
This would also be great but I think sogno do volare fits a bit more
I dont think most of the Earth would enjoy having am anthem in Swahili

Baba Yetu for world hymn!
Actually I am not kidding since gaming is probably the most cultural uniting activity of our time. People from all over the world play games together without cultural, national or ethnical borders.
Music is also a kind of game, musicians play together to create an elevating experience. I can not hate a person who sings songs like this together with me, I just can't!
This song is a symbol of hope, joy, and humanity. What is humanity? Let's sing this song together and the answer will glow in our hearts.
This is objectively the greatest video game theme song ever.
If you read this, congratulations on composing the first and only song in a video game to win a Grammy! I listen to this when I'm studying, and it motivates me. You are a great composer!
Christoper Tin, i have no idea why this only got 12 Million views , it should be 300 billion by now
TheBoldRoller I don't get it either, there are covers that have half of the views this has... that's awkward to see...
Yeah, and even the fact that is was made in 2009, it should be viewed way more than what is right now
Something like See You Again would be acceptable xD
Baba Yetu is no "See You Again" but it is definitely close to it
