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.
What makes Thomas unique is his ability to convince us that the impossible is always possible. He always takes me on a journey across the continents in a glimps of time. I always listen to his songs as if I'm travelling between cultures in a time machine. Thomas, I'm very proud of you and listening to your music is such a privilege.
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
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!
Oh my pleasantly surprised as an Indian!! Even popular Indian musicians do not use folk or ethnic Indian music much. Thank you. It's so good. Much much love ❤️💕
It's a rich blend of so many elements. Richness in melodies, richness in diverse instruments, genres... all in one song. Thomas is exceptional at transcending the musical genre boundaries that limit most compositions. Definitely one of my favorites!
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.
XUNIA!!! This is my favorite song of Chapter V, perhaps one of my favorite songs of the Humanity series. Maaybe even one of my favorite Thomas Bergersen songs ever. Which is saying A LOT. I absolutely love everything about this song. It makes my day every time I listen to it. :) Thank you, Thomas Bergersen.
I have been waiting for this ever since the album was published. I can't even describe my love for this song. Such pure joy emanating from this song, it is almost palpable. No matter how bad my day is, this will always make me smile, especially the part from 3:23. And the context of song is even better, celebrating the one of the biggest and happiest moments in one's lives. Thank you Thomas for this gift to Humanity and humanity. 🥰😍😘💓💓💓
Thomas Bergersen, your music gets me no matter the country. You are a fantastic composer of music! When I think of wonderful composers of this age your name is first in my list. TSFH is simply the best!
Xunia is by far my favorite of the album. If the "made of" songs from chapter IV didn't exist, it would be my favorite track of the whole saga. It's so underrated, I wish it got more love from the fans. It has been my most listened song on spotify for two years in a row now.
@@Eldric.1 Imma cheat slightly as I consider two tracks as a 2-parter. [in no specific order of awesomeness] 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)
Non ci sono parole sufficientemente profonde, esaurienti ed esaustive per dirvi che cosa ha suscitato dentro di me questa Melodia a dir poco Sublime❣️ Vi ringrazio di esistere e di far nascere queste Magnificenze❣️ Grazie 🙏🏻 Grazie 🙏🏻 Grazie 🙏🏻
You made my dayy..Seriously,,,,,😮 This is best and Unexpected thing i am hearing on thia channel, I am Indian .. And this is Unexpected track I am hearing here ,,, Thank you, Love thisss😍😍😍😍 Love from India🇮🇳
I genuinely thought that I probably wouldn't be a fan of ethnic Indian style music... but this definitely changed my mind! I actually love the way this one is done with the metal parts. Especially the metal parts. I don't even know how you guys made it work, but you did.
You are amazing Thomas 🎉. Expecting more tracks/songs like Victory, To Glory, Star sky, impossible, Empire of angles, heart of courage, beautiful people...... Loved your composition, Love from India
Oh my god!! I'm so blown away right now! 🤩 This is totally outta this world! 🔥 I've been listening to TSFH for more than a decade and they're couple of my favourite musicians! And yet even i'm so pleasantly surprised and mesmerized by this! So glad Thomas turned to the east. So excited for this fresh chapter. Hope this is gonna be the first of many eastern fusion epics! 🔥❤️
The first time i heard those vocals I knew I would be in for one of those epic shenanigans which only Thomas has the secret! And oh boy, was I right! It directly becacme my favorite of chapter V.
I love these songs, it inspires me a lot to keep moving forward and continue with my goals, but since I heard the music of Victory, I was moved and because of that, I started to enjoy this great music and be one of my favorite groups, very good song, keep it up always, I loved it.
I've been listening to all Humanity albums on repeat, even the new one since it came out I still get excited every time one of the songs get uploaded on UA-cam even tho I can always listen to them on Spotify
Omg I always listen to Two Steps for inspiration music for my stories and today I thought I'd try to find something for a story set in India and this is perfect!
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." If someone else is willing to flesh out this rough translation, feel free to do so.
100% when I first heard this song I wasn’t a big fan. But that 2nd half got me and now this is one of my top 5!! Thank you TB for the amazing music you bring!
Esta canción es tan buena, que de me hizo corta a pesar de lo larga que es!!! Me dio muchas vibras a Nero y Illusions con sus cánticos, aunque esta vez claramente inspirados en la India. Ahhh que espectacular mezcla de estilos aquí Thomas!!! Aún estoy ansioso por Humanity VI, yo no olvido que mencionaste vibras similares a Illusions en ese!!!
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.
From the comments, the language a real one. What are they singing about, and which language is it, please? Hindi, or another one spoken in India? Also, let me just add my praise to those who commented before me. Beautiful piece of music, Thomas still manages to outdo himself!
It’s Punjabi. The lyrics is a daughter asking her mom to ask her dad for permission so she can get married. Then the mom tells her to be more patient and wait a few more years.
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.
Nothing Tin has ever written comes close to this level of crazy thought. Xunia is in a class if it’s own for good and bad
true
@@bghmusic The fact that you still exist and love TSFH's music is so awesome!
Thomas Bergersen is my favourite composer, I always listen to his latest tracks, I'll be at a concert of his next week @@HyrubatoMusic

The creativity in this track is unreal. Blows my mind after each listen. Incredible! ❤
I have a dream, that TSFH´s music will one day become mainstream and we will hear it in the radio.
They already play it , while throwing in some soccer comercials
The horn breakdown at 3:29 is absolute FIRE
Mindblowing masterpiece. This is easily one of the most creative piece from Humanity.
That brass part at 3:29 gets me every time
There really isn't anything quite as powerful as an army of horns blasting out a melody in unison
*Very interesting merging of music cultures going on here. I love how the track grows and new layers are added throughout* ❤

Thomas is trying to wrap whole globe in his music!!
Goosebumps! Just... Goosebumps.
Reminds me of Mike Oldfields older stuff when that Acoustic Guitar comes in :D
2:21 - Was NOT expecting a slap bass, but damn does it go HARD. This is in my top 5 TSFH tracks!

Wonderful track... Thomas... you're unbelievable
I listen to this music over and over... it puts me in such a good mood! What a masterpiece!!
Every time Thomas drops something new, I'm excited to see how he's either gonna torture or completely groove with the horns.
Muchas Gracias por esta asombrosa musica Two Steps From Hell!! . Son maravillosos!

So happy to see you revisit this fusion reminiscent of "Illusions". Missed your signature sound

Tracks like these, make me feel so much more alive 🍀
so greatfull to be alive, when there's creators like Thomas and the steps ❤
A fascinating unique combination. Nobody does it better 🔥
The driving percussive beat really gives the song a nice intensity.
That guitar solo 🤌
The first time i heard those vocals I knew I would be in for one of those epic shenanigans which only Thomas has the secret! And oh boy, was I right! It directly becacme my favorite of chapter V.
Best track of the album :)
Instant goosebumps
As someone who hails from and lives in Germany but works in South and Southeast Asia, I love this track on so many levels 🤘🏻🖤

I am so loving this!!!
Been loving this track ever since it showed up on Spotify.
The best one in this chapter 🔥
I really like this song and all the songs from the album. Thank you
was NOT expecting how freakin epic this track is, this needs to blow the f up!
Please let this be on the setlist for the tour🤞 Roll on Budapest 😊

Oh yeah 😎 interesting sound! Great work
Fantastic music and amazing vocals !
Hope this blows up. Great song.
This is wonderful and amazing and beautiful
I had to share this with friends in other countries
Vocal comes from “Kuey Te Paani Parhendiye” -The Great Big Punjabi Wedding
I really hope someone translates it.😭
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."
If someone else is willing to flesh out this rough translation, feel free to do so.
Any chance he told you what language they're singing in?
@@alejandrobruce4769 He did not, but he speaks Hindustani and Punjabi fluently, so I'm going to guess that it's one of those two.
@@IamSolon People on the discord say it's punjabi. The vocals seem to be sampled from here: ua-cam.com/video/JQWf60gcNFU/v-deo.html
The song is in Hindi

One of the most epic TB songs, i was totally impacted by it when i heard for the first time a ethereal *masterpiece.* ❤
I dream it. You do it. Thanks for all the songs. ^____^

This Great music teaches me to 'embrace' the unfamiliar words, even though I may not be familiar with them.
My favourite from Chapter V. Super exciting, super lively. Reminds me a lot of Bollywood movies.
Amazing!!!
This track deserves to be viewed millions of times, not a few thousand. Unfortunately, good music is not heard well
This is beyond amazing!!
