    I truly wish I could forget both the show and the music, just so I could go back and witness it all again like it was my first time. All of it's perfect.

      I'm on Season 4, Episode 18 right now. My brother watched it when I was in middle school, so I saw bits and pieces. But watching the show as a whole has been an amazing experience. I haven't even finished the show and I almost wish I could also go back in time and watch it all again for the first time. The show is an absolute masterpiece and it is, hands down, the best show I have ever seen.

    I took piano from the ages of 7 to 12. And I quit because I hated it. Now as an adult, I realize the error. The music Bear McCreary composed for BSG has inspired me to relearn the art. So far I have learned most of 'Roslin and Adama', and have now worked up to several bars of this beast.
    So Mr McCreary, on the off chance you happen to read this, I would like to thank you for inspiring me, with your music, to take up the piano once again.

    Like others here, this is perhaps my favourite piece from the show. To steal a suggestion from another user, listen to this when it's raining, or even better, when there's a thunderstorm.
    Equal parts dark and foreboding, but also meditative and moving. It has this emotional weight to it which demands your attention. But then once it has you, it lets you drift in your own thoughts. I lack the words here to describe just how much this piece affects me. It makes me feel...human.

    Your contribution to this show is immense. What you created along with the essence of Battlestar Galactica were important spiritual elements that paved my solace through what I believe to be an important phase of my life. So take these humble words from a fellow musician and please continue making music, because pieces like this one right here often find a spot in the development of one's emotional being.

    Thank you Bear for such an amazing piece of music. I've listened to this one hundreds of times, its one of the most emotionally moving pieces I've ever heard in my life. The sense of foreboding, and future doom, the sense of impeding collapse, and a sense of dread for the future, almost a sense of necessary, pre-destined decline and sorrow, is just baked into the piece, and it truly fit the episodes of BSG perfectly. And certainly my life at that time, when things were falling apart. But also, there was a knowledge that it must happen this way, and destruction must come, for rebirth to surface. Brilliant. Thank you so much. It will always be a part of my story.

    Still my favourite all-time composition with the differently sentient being a close second. This is both simple and at the same time complex with the base notes both fighting against and then working with the lighter ones. Then to have the sudden shift at 3:18, this entire composition is a work of genius

In fact, we'll do the whole songbook as my journey back into piano. The Bear is great. He shall peacefully rule planet score and some day perhaps share a room with the Zimmer, to teach him "the other side of the art" :))

    Every time I hear this song ,it seems to just pull the listener in.On the full version(starting with the bass) was intense with the heavy reverb on the guitar as to build up the song as it's played out.Nicly done.I'm reminded of Murry Gold's (composer for Doctor Who)Doomsday theme .Bear McCreary and Murry Gold write music that is like a magnet to listeners in the sense that the soundtracks coupled with their respective shows are as important as the dialog in their scripts.
