    In case anyone wants to know the lyrics, I found all the verses although it is difficult to interpret the meaning:
    ਸੁਣ ਨੀ ਮਾਏ ਮੇਰੀਏ ਮੇਰੇ ਬਾਬਲ ਨੂੰ ਸਮਝਾ / Suṇa nī mā'ē mērī'ē mērē bābala nū samajhā / Listen, my mother, understand me
    ਧੀ ਹੋਈ ਲਟਬਾਵਰੀ ਕਿਸੇ ਨੌਕਰ ਦੇ ਲੜ / Dhī hō'ī laṭabāvarī kisē naukara dē laṛa lā /Tell my father that I want to get married and have a husband
    ਸੁਣ ਨੀ ਧੀਏ ਮੇਰੀਏ ਤੂੰ ਏਡੇ ਬੋਲ ਨਾ ਬੋਲ/ Suṇa nī dhī'ē mērī'ē tū ēḍē bōla nā bōla / Don't be so anxious, my daughter, don't talk too much
    ਜਿੱਥੇ ਗੁਜ਼ਰੇ ਠਾਰਾਂ ਵਰ੍ਹੇ ਉੱਥੇ ਛੇ ਮਹੀਨੇ ਹੋਰ/ Jithē guzarē ṭhārāṁ var'hē uthē chē mahīnē hora /Thirteen years have already passed, wait about six more months
    ਖੂਹ ਤੇ ਪਾਣੀ ਭਰੇਂਦੀਏ ਨੀ ਕੋਈ ਮਲ ਮਲ ਅੱਡੀਆਂ / Khūha tē pāṇī bharēndī'ē nī kō'ī mala mala aḍī'āṁ dhō /We still do not fill the wells with water or wash the heels
    ਧੋ ਲੱਪ ਕੁ ਚੰਬਾ ਖਿੜ ਪਿਆਨੀ ਕੋਈ ਬੈਠੀ ਹਾਰ ਪਰੋ / Lapa ku cabā khiṛa pi'ānī kō'ī baiṭhī hāra parō /We still don't wash our laps or get dressed

    The earliest I've ever been- Xunia is such a fresh track! The ethnic indian tune, with the orchestra and rock just make something super epic. Not many composers can pull off something like this. This is really a track that grew on me to be honest, but now I love it!

      I can recommend Christopher Tin as well. He made more classical ochestra's but each track is in another language interwined with cultural aspects as well. Pleasure to listen to.

    Man this track is something else. Humanity is one of the best albums Thomas produced in his career. The blending of traditional Indian folk music with modern rock, strings and the influence of EDM, really makes this piece srand out. Absolutely beautiful!

  •  Рік тому +45

    Feels like you're travelling through the East. The vocals, the melody, reflecting your solemn journey across the continent. You're leaning out of the window of a puffing express. The wind is in your hair. It bites into your eyes, as you are staring into the adventure. The landscape passes by, and a white trail of smoke is being left behind.

      1. Xunia (maybe the best fusion of world music I've heard from TSFH)
      2. Rocket to the Moon -> Cruising in Space (I'm a sucker for programmatic music, and this evokes glory and determination)
      3. Arcade Master (Best synth/orchestral blend IMO. Feels like it tells a story of some serious video game competition in a campy good vs evil battle)
      4. Shiver Me Timpanis (the pinnacle thus far of their pirate music IMHO. If they release an instrumental and/or orchestral variant, I'll ascend.)
      5. Enchantress (I'm a sucker for sonata form & leitmotifs. The recapitulation is god tier.)
      Honorable Mention: Cloud Maker (the bridge of this song is sooo good. Great build up of tension and release)

    I asked a Pakistani friend of mine what the lyrics meant and he told that it's a happy song about a woman wanting to get married and asking her parents for permission.
    "Listen, mother, talk to father, ask him to get me married"
    Followed by the mother saying.
    "Don't be so eager, you've gone so many years, go a few more months."

    The last three tracks in Humanity V were Iron Will, One Last Day and Heroica. This song is a welcome turn in a more mysterious yet bright direction. My second favorite in Humanity V so far, just below Heroica.
