I thought some LWers might like this as much as I did. It's a video set to the Civ 4 theme, Baba Yetu; video has an overall rise of humanity/civilization theme.

Inspirational concept. Bothered a little bit by the emphasis on America. (It wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't so typical). Love the song.
Given that this is already a thread for mildly but not completely off-topic remarks, I'm curious as to why Mblume's remark was downvoted.
Because Baba Yetu is the Lord's Prayer in Swahili? That would be a very confused reason. We've already had the "So is it ok to listen to religious music? Well, yeah. Duh." discussion around here somewhere.
Upvoted for good taste in music. (You do know that Christopher Tin's written a whole album around that track, called Calling All Dawns, right?)
It's another form of reversed stupidity. I know of a theist who once said that she liked Metallica's Enter Sandman because it has a prayer in it. I don't want to be like that, and I most certainly don't want to be the opposite of that.
Here's an anti-death one (in French) by the same artist. Not quite as beautiful as Baba Yetu, but still nice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpnxbiUw_VM
Where?
Fixed, thanks.
