"My name is Saul Tigh. I'm an officer in the Colonial Fleet. Whatever else I am, whatever else it means ... that's the man I want to be. And if I die today? That's the man I'll be." *que mic drop and All Along the Watchtower*
Think about toasters using music as a trigger to activate these Cylons....does that mean that Cylons respond to music? Not unique to humans, then, is it.
Just like that.... 2023 and I still think this song sums up that feeling of belonging to "that" moment when this song made its first appearance and the wow factor. . . Do you hear/feel it too?
@@jordanrocksdj It nearly ended on the 'Revelations' episode, which would've been one of the greatest cliffhangers ever. You might've gotten a Firefly situation where the show is still being talked about in great length in 2020, but having a real ending is probably better than ending with *that*
The Lords of Kobol bless you, I never expected to find this version... should have looked better back in 2013 when you posted this and I actually just had watched the show.
This song is far and away the best made for TV/Movie song I had heard so far. I understand its a cover, and usualy covers suck but gd damn this song is so good.
It's good. Really good. The fact that I think the only song that surpasses it, Passacaglia, comes from the same series and composer says so much about the soundtrack to BSG. GOAT from start to finish.
Bear McCreary said in his writer’s blog that the instrumental is almost entirely original, but of course similar enough to be compatible with the tune to All Along the Watchtower. With that in mind, you can kind of see how this piece works: it doesn’t play its hand too early, so you can’t just immediately guess what song it is, but it’s also made to perfectly slot in with the melody when the lyrics come in, so you still get that feeling of everything suddenly making sense. At a stretch, you could even say the music has a perfectly Watchtower-shaped hole in it for most of the episode, so you can almost feel something familiar just beyond your perception, until ‘the scene’ happens and they let everything click into place.
@@notsomuchlurking9408 Agreed, this is my favorite version of the song and when I was trying to find it I was also disappointed the OST one was different.
There must be some kind of way outta here Said the joker to the thief There's too much confusion I can't get no relief Business men, they drink my wine Plowman dig my earth None were level on the mind Nobody up at his word Hey, hey No reason to get excited The thief he kindly spoke There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that And this is not our fate So let us stop talkin' falsely now The hour's getting late, hey All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants, too Outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl
"There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke" This verse is about hidden Cylons and as we know Cylons took life as a joke, as they could come alive through resurection ship.
That there are many versions of "Watchtower" is what was so smokin' dramatic about Bear's. The story was headed to this massive pivot point, and then his version snuck up slowly, and when it dawned on you that it was Watchtower, well, I jumped. Could not believe more drama could have been impacted in that scene.
This version rocks so hard. Such a fantastic arrangement and cover. Both the Cylons Intro and the Broadcast Version. These amaze me whenever I hear them. I prefer Jimi Hendrix's version to Bob Dylan's, even though both are good. But I'd pick Bear McCreary's version over both. (Sorry, Jimi and Bob.)
Not exactly the same as the episode but by far closest available that I've found. The phrase at the end loops once when the galaxy is zoomed out and back in, as exists in the album version oddly enough. Fortunately I can use this to make the right one :) Thanks!!
I liked the use of the conventio back weapons instead of the lasers, but I wish we saw Galactica use some misles and nukes more, feel like they could've come in handy.
@@bcmm1880 only 50 warheads of which most probably were like pcm or emp from the 1st cylon war i believe the cylons would have adapted their ships so they wouldn't work.also i believe ragnar anchorige was deadalos so the warheads were about the same age as the old girl herself
Give Credit to the music artist in the description sp?? Bear McCreary? sp? because his rendition of this song was excellent, exciting, spine tingling and perfect for the fight sequences.

This song really does sound like it is echoing through space and time with the grace of god
This song was so eerie when it first started, then anders said "the weather is changing" instant chills
Chills just reading your comment and remembering the scenes.
This song made for the best ending to any show, ever.
Imagine if the show ended on a cliffhanger after Season 3. That would’ve left a lot of people wanting to know what would’ve happened next.

@@brucesshipyards744 Firefly... Space: Above and Beyond... Roughnecks STC, so many such sci-fi shows that ended too early.
I don't remember Roughnecks STC, but the other two most definitely I agreed cancel way to soon.
@@brucesshipyards744 Firefly had a real ending though, Serenity.
That image of Galactica leading the fleet is the perfect summary of the show, she looks battered and bruised, but still she defends the fleet.
The best sci-fi series I have ever seen, and by far the best remake of any series!
So say we all eh? love this song

Was hesitant about watching this show for the longest time, but frak am I glad to have finally caved in. 🙏
This song is far and away the best made for TV/Movie song I had heard so far. I understand its a cover, and usualy covers suck but gd damn this song is so good.
To be fair, the Jimi Hendrix cover was amazing. So good in fact, people don't describe it as a cover.
Even Dylan said.this song didnt belong to him after hearing Jimi's version.
It's good. Really good. The fact that I think the only song that surpasses it, Passacaglia, comes from the same series and composer says so much about the soundtrack to BSG. GOAT from start to finish.
Don't worry, it really is me. I've been to Earth... I know where it is... And I'm going to take us there...
I kinda like more this than the "full song" version. Now don't get me wrong, that one is also amazing, but for me this one take's the cake.
yes; more dramatic
The distortion guitar at the start makes this much better than the "full version" start by a lot.
the best series

Yes.
i have been looking for this.. for a long. long time. many thanks
IKR?! I was so disappointed when this wasn't even in the OST set
@@notsomuchlurking9408 Agreed, this is my favorite version of the song and when I was trying to find it I was also disappointed the OST one was different.
MrCrazyeyesdave, I don't know how you got your hands on this but I thank you for giving us this version. If only this was the album version.
If only this was the album song combined a bit with the other one, that would be awesome
@@gabrielpaige3514 I agree. Mix the intro from this version and replace 3:04 with the album version and you have the best version of the song
This version by Bear McCreary is the best version. Sorry Bob and Jimmy, this one wins!
So say we all
Doesn't it just give ya goosebumps???
" DEADBOLT THAT FRAKKING DOOR#!!
OH MY GOD THANKYOU SO MUCH, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY YEARS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VERSION. SERIOUSLY THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh frak, nice, I never thought to check for a version where the beginning sounds like it did in the show. Thanks for uploading
I can't get no relief.............. I have to rewatch the show AGAIN!
9,5 year of waiting...I almost forgot. THANK YOU SO MUCH ;-)
This is so me, right here. Gods
Took me ages to realise this series was where this track was from... I'm getting old.
That bass is just sublime.
It's in the frakking earbuds!
I gotta say, man, it was astoundingly brilliant how this song was used. Especially for that cliffhanger where Kara returned.
love this series
You can count on me Admiral.
I never doubted it.
I like the length and order of the song on the long version that's in the ost but I love the gutair in this one
There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men, they drink my wine
Plowman dig my earth
None were level on the mind
Nobody up at his word
Hey, hey
No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin' falsely now
The hour's getting late, hey
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl
@@rosssilver yours is what ive always heard, and what makes the most sense, may be that bear mcreary changed the lyrics
"There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke"
This verse is about hidden Cylons and as we know Cylons took life as a joke, as they could come alive through resurection ship.
this is better than the album version imo
All along the watchtower, and Wander My Friends...the two best themes that came with the Galactica series.
THE best version of this song, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix included.
Fred Flintstone approves of this song.
The music as powerful as it is to me seems like the main heart beat to BSG ,,, pure genius in the dynamics rhythm and sound ,,,,,
I feel this versión on every cell
The electrical guitar, sitar and tabla combination is just awesome! At least those are the instruments I believe I'm hearing.
best 4 minutes of tv i've ever seen.
