"A Distant Sadness" - So Say We All: Battlestar Galactica Live

Featuring a haunting vocal solo by Raya Yarbrough, I wrote "A Distant Sadness" for the shocking third season premiere of #BattlestarGalactica. The intense story inspired me to write lyrics drawing from my own heritage as a member of the Armenian diaspora. We opened many concerts with this live version, one that also incorporates musical elements from Season 4.

In the beginning, this reimagined version of Battlestar Galactica piqued my nostalgic interest from the original. However, THIS story, THESE characters went far beyond its campy predecessor. All riding the waves of Bear McCreary's incredibly soulful scores... like this. All of this was a five year experience that did not disappoint. So thank you all. I only wish Caprica could somehow be picked up again... reimagined... there's so much more to tell. #SoSayWeAll

The problem was likely going from an action series to something, erm, quieter ( ? ).

@@hughjassol-0- As a prequel or sequel, it was better than " Babylon 5 : The Crusade ". A lot of people want The Fast & Furious rather than Dickens.

Wait, Bear is Armenian? Holy hell, it's possibly the only thing that could make me love that culture more than I already do. I can't ever get over how superb Armenian names sound. And the lyrics in this could very well be Tolkien's elvish, for their phonetic beauty.

You are the sole reason why I started watching Battlestar. When I learned you were the composer it was reason enough. Though the series is really good, too.

What show/film got you hooked on Bear McCreary initially? I'm curious because, for me, Battlestar was that show. That led to others like Sarah Connor Chronicles, Walking Dead, Da Vinci's Demons, Black Sails. Not trying to gatekeep, I'm just curious what someone else's path was.

@LukeSkywalkerInMe 2 жыл бұрын

The first time I noticed him as someone special was the intro of Black Sails. That must be the greatest intro of a TV-show ever. But I have to admit, I totally fell for him with the Godzilla-King of the Monsters soundtrack. I cannot describe the depths of emotions I went through everytime I watched it. The unapologetic and relentless devotion of this score to the love for the material is unparalleled IMO. Then it took me almost 20 years to watch Battlestar after I realised he had made the soundtrack. And it is glorious! Second best intro of a TV-show, ever. The show is surprisingly layered and deep.

Bear is a pure musical genius. I put him right up there with Hans Zimmer and John Williams, any day as far as top movie composers. I get excited any time I see him name attached to a movie or tv series.

YES! Bear! I used excerpts from this soundtrack for my final project in Dialog & Score Editing class for my Audio Engineering course... there was a theory class down the hall from the lab I was using, and every few minutes a student would pop their head in the door to ask what I was playing or to comment on how epic it was sounding 😁 #goodmemories #protools

I watched the tv show many times and I love the music. Such a masterpiece. I was trying to play the piano and try to make out the notes from memory but I couldn't so I came here. I saw it is your page and subscribed instantly. I know you might not like me or my people but I still believe we are all brothers and sisters. Love from Turkiye.

It's Armenian. Հեռու եւ ծանօթ տխրություն մը մեզ կը կանչէ Քամիով բերուած՝ այրուող աւազի նման Եղբայրներ եւ Քոյրեր՝ որ հեռւում էք՝ դուք կը տոկաք Անելանելի վիծակի մէջ՝ մեր իսկ հողին վրայ։ Յիշողութիւն մը փորագրուած հոգու եւ մորթի մէջ Կը թողնէ սպի մը որ երբեք չի բուժուիր Մեր ընտանիքը ամուր է՝ բայց ցիրուցան Աստղերու եւ դաշտերու տարածութեան մէջ։ Մենք ձեզ չի պիտի լքենք Մենք ձեզ չի պիտի մոռնանք Մենք ձեզ համար պիտի վերադառնանք։ A distant and familiar sadness calls to us As if carried on the wind, like burning sand Brothers and Sisters, away, you endure Stranded on our own land A memory etched into soul and skin Leaves a scar that never heals Our family is strong, but scattered Across the stars and fields We will not abandon you We will not forget you We will return for you
