It did give hope. Celebrities singing and showing people hope is what was needed. Christopher Tin however his song did one better. It reaches into the heart of every human who has a soul.
If you're reading this, Christopher, thank you. This song, and the way it has touched and inspired people across the world, really makes me proud to be human.
You must be so proud that your music and your song have become so unifying in the world, in a message of peace, joy and sharing. Congratulations to you ... When the internet is so magical ^^
I play BabaYetu almost every week while working as a pianist at Regent Hotel Taipei. And I'm going to perform BabaYetu during Thanksgiving with other musicians, such as Erhu and Ukelele. Love this song so much ~ Glory to the Heavenly Father !
I don't know what this was, but I've been feeling incredibly down and depressed lately due to Covid-19, political situation across the world, difficulties studying, dreams of the future and all. I remember this song from long ago, and I remember when I heard it years and years ago it brought me joy and peace that only a few songs ever can. Imagine my surprise now to see that you added this just an hour ago. Thank you so much for this timeless piece of music, and thank you for bringing peace to a troubled mind.
Dank u, ik had dit zo nodig! I'm now undergoing sickening cancer treatment, to be followed by heavy surgery in a month. Almost no one is visiting me because of Covid-19, sad but understandable. My friends from South Africa are not allowed to travel. But now I have hope and peace in my hart again. Thank you, I needed this music so much!
First Videogame song to win an Emy, I was 14 at the time, this and the fact that os the Lords Prayer in swahillo really made me feel part of sonething greater.
You have you h all generation, I'm very happy to you're music, when I go to Israel to see all "Our father" in all language I rush to the "Baba yetu" and sing an little with all people because it's this we need
Fifteen years of one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. That's half my life! Christopher, thank you for that, thank you for this masterpiece that you created. He's really beautiful. Over the years, a lot has happened, good and bad, but I can say for sure - this song has never left me. She will always cause me both joy and sadness, which accompanied me all these 15 years. Thank you for this gift for all mankind
Wow, I didn't realize Baba Yetu is 15 years old in 2020. 2005 was a very memorable year in my life as I was growing up, when I completed middle school, three significant years in my K-12 education, and then received my Confirmation. I first heard Baba Yetu performed during the Baccalaureate Service in the Chapel of the Resurrection the morning of the day I graduated from Valparaiso University in 2013. This piece really speaks to the sense of celebration we have in faith, because God aids us in struggles and rejoices in moments of joy with us, too.
Every single time, over and over, so powerful, so frash, so strong and emotional!!! A timeless masterpiece! Thank you, thank you again and again! Only 15 years - who would tell - feel like this song is part of my life for much longer!😀
This Is an amazing song! I listen to it and it lifts my soul! Happy 15th anniversary to Mr Tin and all the musicians that have performed this masterpiece! Thank you!!
C'est toujours un bonheur de l'écouter encore et encore par divers chorales et artistes ! Cette chanson est un orgasme auditifs 🥰 It is always a pleasure to listen to it again and again by various choirs and artists ! This song is an auditory orgasm 🥰
Hello, I pay my respects to you in Korea.I love your music and listen to it every morning on my way to work.The video you uploaded is touching and makes me cry.Thank you for making good music.
I'm brasilian, but since I had discovered this song, some thing inside me had changed. Every time I hear Baba Yetu my soul is transported to a place in Africa, that I still don't know, but it's transcendental and amazing. Thanks so much for all!
I've never even played Civ IV but I will watch and listen to every version of this masterpiece of a song. I'm already looking forward to the 20th anniversary version!
LCPS Virtual Choir is definitely one of the best ones out there. Glad to see them included. They did an exceptional job. Another good one which doesn't look like it got included is also here on UA-cam entitled "2015 All-State Music Festival: Baba Yetu", from IOWA PBS channel.
So many voices, so many colors. Thank you, Christopher, for this piece and for the inspiration it has been bringing since I first heard it years ago. It is still on my ringtone and in my heart.
The first piece of art I ever heard from you, Mr. Tin! I fell in love with your music and the art you create. Thank you for being alive at the same time as I am!
This is truly epic, inspiring by inviting and compiling pieces from fans of BAba Yetu all over the world. World united in Baba Yetu and driving vibe up in the face of pandemic. Christopher, you are truly amazing again am saying this.
Wow.....I wasn’t sure how much I needed that until I watched it. Seeing people together, celebrating life, bonding over a song....it means a lot in these dark times.
15 years and this song still moves me to tears so easily. Mr. Tin, your music gives a voice to the people like nothing I've ever heard before. Thank you for your beautiful work!
Awesome seeing all these different groups from all over the world united in your song. Personally very glad to see the Cape Town Youth Choir representing South Africa!
I've heard this song a hundred times, and it always warms my heart and lifts my spirit. But it's been a long time since it caused me to openly weep like this. The thought of what people consider to be "the world's anthem" ACTUALLY becoming such, that one song echoes across imagined divisions and differences, across so many cultures... Well done, sir. Well done. Maybe there's hope for humanity after all.
15 years go by so quickly. I remember listening to this song when I was studying in uni by leaving Civ4 running in the opening menu. It gives me chills everytime when I listen to the first five seconds of the song. So much memories for such a beautiful song. Thank you.
Celebrities: a video of us singing imagine will give people the hope they need to get through this year.
Christopher Tin: Hold my cultural victory.
Best comment ever :D
It did give hope. Celebrities singing and showing people hope is what was needed.
Christopher Tin however his song did one better. It reaches into the heart of every human who has a soul.
If you're reading this, Christopher, thank you. This song, and the way it has touched and inspired people across the world, really makes me proud to be human.
Civilization IV's already 15 years old? Damn. Time does fly. Amazing song!
One...more...turn...
It doesn’t matter how many times I listen to it, this is beautiful. Christopher Tin is so talented!
Wow! 15 years?!
And I only found out about Christopher Masterpieces like a few months ago. His music is a gift!
@@steffengr.5556
Same. I'm so glad I found his music. It has really inspired me in my writing and worldbuilding.
This moved me to tears. Fifteen years and all these people still hyped to sing such a masterpiece.
I'll sleep happy for once. Thank you everyone ❤
Incredible! 15 years of that masterpiece!
Can't stop the tears from coming. So beautiful!
You must be so proud that your music and your song have become so unifying in the world, in a message of peace, joy and sharing. Congratulations to you ... When the internet is so magical ^^

You all did something really amazing there...
I'll try to be at the 20th anniversary as well, but first I'll have to learn an instrument:)

It's the Lord's Prayers in Swahili made into song for the game Civilization IV's main title screen.
Yay! Happy 15th anniversary of one of my favorite songs of all time mister Tin! :>
Thank you for amazing piece! This reminds me my favorite African proverb.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
Just fabulous xx

And I also lost my mind when the Navy Band showed up...I’ve seen their full video of it only about a thousand times!

The best version of this song is the original that shipped with Civ IV.
Fight me.
Alex Boye does a good one with the Mormons.
Have you seen PBS version?
Nah, Hollens and Malukah have it.
Have you listen to the Stellenborsh Choir version. In my view, it is the best one : ua-cam.com/video/PCa8RxaOPW8/v-deo.html

THIS great musician certainly CAN stand the test of time
