You know Christopher Tin is a badass when he makes a song that not only gets a Grammy Award, but the guys who do the Grammy make a separate category purely because of his work and a choir cover of it goes to _America's Got Talent_ and gets a golden buzzer.
This is by far my favorite video game song of all time and one of my all time favorite songs in general and I don't understand a word of it. Some music, some songs just make you feel its power without a need for translation.
What do you mean? Some of us have been listening to this since it was made as the Civilization IV game soundtrack in 2005 and won an Emmy as the first Game soundtrack. So, Some of us had been listening to this for 13 years when this video was uploaded, and some 16 years as of this comment.
I find it so deep that it's a prayer but the catch phrase (Baba yetu jina lako litukuzwe / our father hallowed be thy name )is a praise, everything about this is just so beautiful
@@goastlyarrowplays The way you say America in English and we say Amerika in our native language is the same way you say Swahili in English and we say Kiswahili here. You are not wrong and neither is Kubai, who's definitely Kenyan judging from her name. I am too. 🇰🇪
@@strikebr My mistake. This choir sang the original soundtrack to the other Civ 6 song by Tin. They didn't sing this song. I was wrong. This is a cover.
This group shows us that we are one no matter the race...we all are human and should work together since we all are God's children...wooooowww😍😍they surely deserved the golden buzzer
I believe the fact that this got a golden buzzer shows that there is true justice left in this world, and the choir shows that equality can be achieved
No one culture, no one belief, this is just pure humanity. The common love of music is one of the single most powerful tools of co-operation on the planet to date.
I’m watching this in loop and cry constantly. I have absolutely no idea what this song means but it sounds like a prayer. Is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard..
Wonderful fantastic & sooo uplifting.Not sure why they need to be told they are brilliant & talented by Simon Cowell & crew?Anyone with an ear for music knows they are the cream of choral singing.
I am in the choir. It’s a great group… and sometimes the music we make at practice reverberates around me… can make me tear up. I think my favorite song we have done for sheer beauty is Flight Song… there is a video on you tube. The harmony is incredible.
The fact that we have such a crowd of people from all walks of life singing the most joyous and chilling version of “Our Father” on national television makes me so happy. ❤❤
I love this song so much, everytime I've had a victory in my life, especially this past year, I'm guided to listen to it, fills my eyes with tears of joy and gratitude!😭🙏💖 This choir exemplifies the fact that we are all part of a big family on this earth - one love, one humanity! 🤗🥰😍😘💖🌹✨
Hey that's my countrys gospel song..from Kenya its a swali language song meaning our God in heaven...am so touched,hope you sing more of swali song on the show
swali? hmm im curious ive never heard of that language wait thats an African/ Kenyan language is it not? my apolagies since my multi cultral knowledge of cultral languages is a bit rusty.
@@lukeholmberg5420 Sorry, but this is ignorance. This is a gospel song, it is literally "Our Father who art in heaven" in Swahili, and has been sung for decades in East Africa.
@4:08 is the best shit of the whole video, this gentleman was the most smiley in one of the first recordings of them sing this full orchestra! so cool to see he got to experience this
The person who plays the soloist, the choir, the orchestra; the excellent language of the body, the mudras; the sound of nature (elements, animals) all this makes the video exceptional, mystical and sacred, a jewel for me. The language is fantastic;
Sehr, sehr gut! Das bringt Menschen zusammen! Das ist Weltmusik und eine Hommage an Afrikans. Alle singen Swahili, alle lernen das Vaterunser in einer Sprache, die doch sonst weit weg von uns ist. Gott geht wunderbare Wege. So kommt Jesu Gebet durch einen Amerikaner asiatischer Wurzeln, gesungen und musiziert durch Menschen aller Nationen, jung, alt, nichts trennt .... zu den Menschen und berührt ihre Herzen und Sinne. Komponiert für ein Game, hat es sich längst davon losgelöst und ist, was es immer sein sollte, Gebet der Kinder Gottes hier auf Erden, in der Wiege der Menschheit - Afrika! Allen ein gesegnetes Jahr 2024! Weiter so in dieser Qualität, tolle Perkussion, toller Chor, ein hinreißender Solist und hervorragende musikalische Leiterin. Herzlichen Dank auch an Christopher Tin, dem damit ein ganz großer Erfolg zu gönnen ist.
And that what we call, voices of the thousands will sway the minds of every the most powerful. In sync, the most powerful don't know, there is a thing call harmony that is more purposeful than power.
É tão bonito quando a gente vê um coral cantando sorrindo como eles. Eu fui ver outras versões com corais, nem chegava aos pés deles, todos sérios. Eu sei que cada coral tem seu estilo, mas esse coral pra mim é o melhor
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. Amen.
This is the perfect international world anthem. It was written for a video game, representing our current technology age. It contains african language, representing our origin. And the genre is actually called 'world music'. So why the hell isn't this our world anthem already :D?!?!

Swahili song very common here in Tanzania, but this orch made it stronger.
It's the Lord's prayer - literally - our father thou art in heaven....
@@tatumtambalike2910 the religion is garbage but the song is beautiful
@@MaxPower-v9zall religion is garbage. Odd to focus on one specifically.
@@MaxPower-v9zprofile picture checks out
he also worked on a piece with this choir! they know each other

Beautiful language! ♥
Lovely place, lovely people. The beggining of ALL. God bless Africa
Swahili, what a beautiful language... Made in Tanzania and now used all over the world, wow!
I. Am obsessed with this song. No idea what they're saying and I don't care.
Who is still listening to this 2 years later? Because I am! BABA YETU YETU ULIYE
I JUST DID!! THEY SHOULD OF WON THE SHOW!!

If you enjoyed this rendition please do yourself a favour look for the Stellenbosch University Choir's rendition. My absolute favourite version.
@@mm2900mm many many hours worth at that.
I'm still listening to this two years later. The music is amazing.
Am Kenyan🇰🇪 and am so proud of our language as East Africans
cila G you should be! Im crazy about your culture its beautiful!
I have a Kenyan friend, Kenyans r awesome, have a great day
Beautiful language

I would have yelled that out from the audience
Yes god can
I find it so deep that it's a prayer but the catch phrase (Baba yetu jina lako litukuzwe / our father hallowed be thy name )is a praise,
everything about this is just so beautiful
Swahili langauge spokeni in Tanzania and Kenya
Lovely! This is the Lord's prayer in Kiswahili. This song is amazing.
Jackline Kubai it’s Swahili
@@goastlyarrowplays nah the song is a combination of ancient African tribal languages, swahili being the dominant.
@@jenbervis4352 it's kiswahili.. not a combination of ancient tribal languages lol..
@@jenbervis4352 it's all swahili,there is no any combination

Just imagine being a solo singer coming on next, dude. How do you possibly compare?
My dad showed this to me yesterday and it was so amazing
Simple, you do your act. You counter the Civilzation 4 themesong with the Civilization 6 theme.
Sometimes it doesnt need for you to understand the song. Those harmonies is enough to hit you straight to the heart.
Thank you Christopher Tin and Civilization team for introduced me to this beautiful masterpiece!
Beautiful song, beautiful prayer with voices joined from the heart. Add soloist Jimmer Bolden's inspired performance and you have a masterpiece.
Even before I knew that it was the Lord’s Prayer, I could tell that the song was very spiritual. So incredibly moving, gives me chills every time.
Wait, what?
@@DKnight5170 yeah just checked the lyrics are the Our Father in Swahili
Knowing the fact that Olivia Munn is a passionate gamer, to play the Sid Meyer's Civ IV main theme, is well played card to earn the Golden Buzzer.
Doesn't hurt that the choir performed the original games soundtrack.
@@americanswan doesn't hurt at all, I love this song. Zurcaroh has a beautiful choreography using a mixed version of this song.
@@strikebr My mistake. This choir sang the original soundtrack to the other Civ 6 song by Tin. They didn't sing this song. I was wrong. This is a cover.
@@americanswan Civ 4, actually. Civ 6's theme was composed by Tin, as this was.
You could see it in her face the moment they started that she knew what song they were doing.
I'm in tears. What a serotonin rush. Absolutely beautiful
My moms uncle is in that group, and I am now singing baba yetu in choir. I’m a tenor and I might get a solo part
Tenor😻😻😻
Beautiful, enjoy it!
cool good luck
Hopefully they let you actually sing the whole song
. That is what Trip Lee calls SWEET VICTORY .
Proud of Swahili language (Tanzania) Glory to God
I've never heard this song before today but this choir just puts the song into you. Never heard a more beautiful choir
The joy on my face when I saw Baba Yetu and even more when I heard them.❤❤😍
This group shows us that we are one no matter the race...we all are human and should work together since we all are God's children...wooooowww😍😍they surely deserved the golden buzzer
I agree with you Mercy😘
Yes, music can give us all the love we so badly need today. Democrat, Republican, libertarian -- music can bring us together.

It’s the Lord’s Prayer ie our father
Great song, great performance, and Olivia Munn hitting the golden buzzer. Can’t get any better.
Beautiful song! Beautiful voices. I really love the "lead singer's" voice. So amazing.
Same - I’ve heard this song done by others but Jimmer Bolden’s voice absolutely makes it for me he is the perfect choice for the lead 🥰
I have the original and it never gets old. Listening to all these different versions as well is equally powerful. Proudly African.💜
I am Tanzanian 🇹🇿 am proud of my language i love my national language ( kiswahili )

Wonderful fantastic & sooo uplifting.Not sure why they need to be told they are brilliant & talented by Simon Cowell & crew?Anyone with an ear for music knows they are the cream of choral singing.
Who wouldn’t go see Angel City in a Broadway show about them showcasing their songs? I would....
100% would go
I soooo wanna join this choir!!! THEY ARE PHENOMENAL!!!

No your gay
*It’s okayyyyyy to be gayyyyy*
@Jeff, I know right 😁 He really is ❤️
Baba Yetu "Our Father" ❤
Chills every single time. My daughter performed this song in varsity choir and I just love it.
When Simon starts clapping along with you, you know you’re killing it.
What amazing voices they have all together right there now. I love to listen to them too all day long
Starts up Civilization for 163927th time 👌👌🙌
Proud of my lovely national language swahili all the way from Tanzania 🇹🇿 ❤

I bet that sounded INCREDIBLE in person

Aw so much love..i cried when they started singing😘😘

Always giving me goosebumps omfggggg this is cultural victory
Really so happy to hear kiswahili on an international stage 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

If this ain't giving you goosebumps, then i don't know what will
I am Kenyan and now I hope everyone believes when I say Africa is Humanities home, we can all connect to the energy.
God bless you and your people. Mr Trump could learn from you. .. He's NOT my president
This is maybe the best thing I've ever heard
I'm a native swahili speaker,and this feels Angelic
This is Gorgeous Tanzania🇹🇿🇹🇿

Listening to this on the Civ VI Home Screen was so beautiful
No matter what we do and how far we go. God is still the base of everything we are 🙏. Our father who art in heaven ......
My heart is full whenever listening to this 😍😍
Also the first and by far only video game with a Grammy.
Jesus wins hearts and gives us salvation. We are unworthy.
All voices shall sing His praise.
