      Its great to hear Peter is reading people's comments. What do you know about musicology Peter? There is much more to music, the ancient world knew it, but we today have long forgotten what they took for granted! Ask yourself, what could you do with many voices? Perhaps rediscover lost ancient knowledge? A forgotten ancient treasure? never say never Peter, you might win a Nobel if you find more than entertainment value in many voices? Look Up Abd'el Hakim Awyan, Mystical Wisdom-Keeper, read up on his qualifications find out his take on the Pyramids. Ask yourself what was the Purpose of the Flute Krishna played 12.500 years ago? why was the Roman Catholic church so controlling of music back in the day? Are you starting to see a trend? Forgotten Ancient knowledge.

    Say what you will about the Civilization series, they get good compositions out of Christopher Tin.
    For those who don't know, the lyrics come from a poem by Leonardo da Vinci about flight. I can't imagine a more appropriate theme for this game, which is about the development of civilizations over great periods of time.

      That Is Where Your Heart Will Feel At Home

      That Is Where Your Heart Will Feel At Home
      Mankind Will Be Lifted
      By His Own Creation

    Love the song man. It sounds so good! You guys are awesome. I’m really trying to be a member.
    You should do Sunrise, Sunset from the Fiddler on the Roof. I think it would fit your voice perfectly. Keep it the awesome music! 👍

    Lyrics:
    Una volta che avrai
    Spiccato il volo, deciderai
    Sguardo verso il ciel, saprai
    Lì a casa il cuore sentirai
    Una volta che avrai
    Spiccato il volo, deciderai
    Sguardo verso il ciel, saprai
    Lì a casa il cuore sentirai
    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 (spiccato il volo)
    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

    Baba yetu might be peoples 'all time civ theme'.. but for me this is by far the single best theme, and performance. even after 10 listens parts still give me goosebumps... Now I have to figure out why it took until now for it to show up in my recommended list!
