ABOUT CIVILIZATION
Originally created by legendary game designer Sid Meier, Civilization is a turn-based strategy game in which you attempt to build an empire to stand the test of time. Become Ruler of the World by establishing and leading a civilization from the Stone Age to the Information Age. Wage war, conduct diplomacy, advance your culture, and go head-to-head with history’s greatest leaders as you attempt to build the greatest civilization the world has ever known.

[komradetuniska]

Christopher Tin should be a great artist in CiV6

[saatanapaskapilluvit]

From the first stirrings of life beneath water... to the great beasts of the Stone Age... to man taking his first upright steps, you have come far.

[xcw]

Civ 6: Takes forever to load.
Me: Not even mad.

[danbull]

This makes me cry with hope. What a weird emotion to feel.

[tephlin]

Stand up for the national anthem of Earth.

[ethantaylor]

So, when should we expect the following?

Great Musician: Christopher Tin
Information Age

Great Works of Music:
"Baba Yetu"
"Sogno di Volare"

[RevenMusic]

Can't believe I was lucky enough to be in this performance.

[dutchvanderlinde]

Start the game with great ambitions and this song echoing in my chest
Few rounds later...
Besieged by barbarians...[sigh]

[andrewliu]

For those of you measuring this song up to Baba Yetu, there really is no comparison. Baba Yetu celebrates all our accomplishments. Sogno di Volare celebrates all our accomplishments yet to come.Baba Yetu bathes in the glory of the past. Sogno di Volare bathes in the glory of the future. Baba Yetu says, "Look how high we've come." Sogno di Volare says, "But we can go higher."Both songs equally sing upon the praises of Civilization, one celebrates the past, the other celebrates the future. They are both masterpieces in their own right.

[craezee]

this song is amazing, just close your eyes and see rocks igniting fires, people living in caves, painting walls, wearing furs, spears searching for prey, thunderous cavalry charges, the clashing of swords, see walls rising and crumbling to dust, and great migrations, and fires and blood, and the great thinkers of old writing poems at candle light, flocks of people following prophets, and kings giving speeches in glamorous halls, see thieves at night, and hunger and disease, and great fields of gold, and dark winters, boats on stormy seas, then clear skies and new shores, see nets full of fish and whales smashing boats, see ballrooms and the pairs dancing, and canons firing, see phones ringing and rockets dashing in the sky, bombs falling, snipers aiming, newspapers being printed, people walking on foreing celestial bodies, satellites, protests, Internet, vaccines, dna editing, cloning... what better theme to civilization than this?

[TheBraditheojazz]

Should I put this in an opera house or should I get a golden age?

[dboyd]

I've gotten an hour into this game and still haven't accepted the terms because I don't want to leave this song...

[HowlingWolf]

In some parallel universe, this is the Italian National Anthem, and I am infinitely jealous.

[TheRealAppleboy]

Christopher Tin with a other great song you dont know this lyrics of, but still try to sing along to.

[kevinmorgan]

If you look closely you'll see that Christopher conducts the last few seconds with just his hands. He was so into it that he inadvertently threw his baton into the audience!

[vincents.]

The one guy who disliked is Gandhi, he didn't have the heart to nuke this masterpiece and disliked it instead

[ZachValkyrie]

This is one of those songs that really gets inside your soul and makes you proud to be a human being

[parkerbloom]

Can't wait to hear this opening the game for the first time!

Sogno di Volare Lyrics:
Una volta che avrai
spiccato il volo, deciderai.
Sguardo verso il ciel saprai:
Lì a casa il cuore sentirai.
(x2: Repeat)

Prenderà il primo volo
verso il sole il grande uccello,
sorvolando il grande Monte Ceceri
riempendo l'universo di stupore e gloria.

Una volta che avrai
allora deciderai.
Sguardo verso il ciel saprai:
Lì a casa il cuore sentirai.

L'uomo verrà portato dalla sua creazione
come gli uccelli, verso il cielo
riempendo l'universo di stupore e gloria.

Una volta che avrai
spiccato il volo, deciderai
Sguardo verso il ciel saprai:
Lì a casa il cuore sentirai.
Gloria!
Gloria!

[subbywan]

This song, and the opening of Civ6 (Sean Bean's monolog in particular), literally saved me from de-living myself.
