That gave me chills.... Shiny!

SpookyRiverFan | June 28, 01:43 CET

ahh, my computer is being screwy and won't play the gorram song! I wanna hear it so bad :(

MySerenity | June 28, 02:16 CET

I suspect all 8-kazillion of us are downloading it -- their poor server is getting a mite slow.

Oh Lord, send us a mirror site...

bookrats | June 28, 02:26 CET

haha, yeah you're probably right. I've had my computer downloading for half an hour and the song is only on 26% completed.

MySerenity | June 28, 02:41 CET

There's one Persephone's Song there aswell now. :)

Djungelurban | June 28, 02:54 CET

My damn dial up is only downloading at 300 bytes per second! I definatley need another download link, and highspeed.

SpikeBad | June 28, 03:02 CET

My itunes has been trying for 1.5 hours. Grr argh. I can hear snippets, but it won't grab the whole file. And I've got cable modem! :P

Willowy | June 28, 04:13 CET

Trying to play it by streaming seems to be "problematic" - I just downloaded it instead...

MalContent | June 28, 04:23 CET

Finally got it downloaded...amazing. I had chills from start to finish :)

MySerenity | June 28, 04:43 CET

I keep getting disconnected from it as I download. Bah.

kishi | June 28, 04:50 CET

And now it says I can't access it. Would anyone who did get it be able to share?

kishi | June 28, 05:54 CET

As I'm apparently in a sharey mood today ...

I just threw what I have of the file up on my site. I don't think I got it all – the file cuts out at 1:18, but hey, it's something. You can torrent it here.

Jet Wolf | June 28, 06:12 CET

Has anyone posted it in a mirror yet? I get an error message when I try to dl.

ShelaghC | June 28, 06:42 CET

Updating: I have a full version up now, so those of you who had downloaded and were helping seed (thanks, btw), you'll want to snag the whole thing now.

Jet Wolf | June 28, 06:58 CET

They've posted a torrent up to deal with the massive download attack. I like the song.

kishi | June 28, 07:03 CET

Thanks for the bit torrent, Jet. I just listened to it and wow. What a great song. The chorus sounds similar to Joss' original version of Ballad of Serenity. Shiny!

electricspacegirl | June 28, 07:57 CET

Aw crap... I can't do anything with Torrent files...

:-<

Can anyone email it to me at my gmail addy?

ShelaghC | June 28, 08:23 CET

just sent it to you Shelagh! but its also availible via normal download on jetwolfs page

ladysorcha | June 28, 09:28 CET

ok message failed, you might have to go normal download Shelaghc, sorry about that. Im still seeding if anyone wants to torrent it

ladysorcha | June 28, 09:38 CET

Deceptively simple, yet emotively powerful.

Kudos to Michelle Dockrey and EscapeKey

NickSeng | June 28, 10:41 CET

The file should be waiting in your inbox, ShelaghC.

kishi | June 28, 10:57 CET

Wow, that's a wonderful appropriation of the original.

The 'folk song' motiff seems perfectly suited to those verse-ian lyrics, and the awesomely talented singer wrings out exacting measures of pain, faith and hope.

Or in other words, this one's going straight to my MP3 player. :D

kipron | June 28, 12:12 CET

I've listened to the song 6 times already. Is it too much to hope it will end up over the end credits to Serenity? :p

RogueScribner | June 28, 12:26 CET

Providing a mirror, here for a bit for those who can't torrent it or otherwise snag it.

zeitgeist | June 28, 17:34 CET

Thanks zeitgeist, I can't use torrents and so will be getting that as soon as I get home.

Paul_Rocks | June 28, 19:17 CET

Thanks, zeitgeist. Mighty fine of you.

phlebotinin | June 28, 19:18 CET

no worry :) most welcome, and hope you all enjoy.

zeitgeist | June 28, 19:18 CET

Awesome song. If Joss is reading this, you should put this song in the end credits or have it as an easter egg on the DVD or something.

SpikeBad | June 28, 20:02 CET

That was awesome! Now I want to figure this out on mandolin - any Colorado fiddlers or banjo players want to give it a go with me? There will be NO singing coming from me but I can do some rhythm back up. Or maybe some pennywhistle...

:::quickly skips out on work to run home and try these tunes:::

ruthless1 | June 28, 20:46 CET

Anyone know where I can download an MP3 of this? I can't do the bit torrent thing.

Firefly Flanatic | June 28, 22:46 CET

Blwessels, zeitgeist posted a link upthread.

electricspacegirl | June 28, 23:26 CET

Thanks for pointing that out ESG - I had thought I read all the posts but missed the last bunch. And thanks Zeitgeist for posting that! I'm downloading it now and can't wait to listen to it!!

Firefly Flanatic | June 28, 23:34 CET

Didn't work - now I'm bummed!

Edited to add that I had tried to save it first and then listen but when I just clicked on the link it worked after awhile. Took forever because I have slow dial-up. I thought it was really nice but I still prefer it the regular ole' fashioned way that Joss has it done. Very nice lyrics though!

Firefly Flanatic | June 28, 23:58 CET

leaving it there for now so any latecomers to the party can snag it.

zeitgeist | June 29, 06:13 CET

Thanks, zeitgeist. A beautiful, haunting song that captures the essence of Mal. I've posted the link on our Firefly Meetup board for those who don't hang out here.

samatwitch | June 29, 06:47 CET

Wow. Just, wow. That was lovely. And I'm frankly interested in hearing her parent's CD that's talked about after the song.

And, well, I'm cringing as I ask this question because I'm sure it's lame. I clicked zeitgeist's link to listen. (Thanks zeitgeist!) How do I save it to my computer? I know. I'm deficient.

Angela | June 29, 06:49 CET

Ang, for PC at least, you right-click on the link, then click on "Save Target As." I imagine it's even easier using a Mac.

SoddingNancyTribe | June 29, 08:22 CET

Wow! That was easy. *blushes* And here I was dropping down the "File" menu, not understanding why "Save As" wasn't an option.

Muchas Gracias!

Angela | June 29, 08:42 CET

depending on your browser and os platform you may also be able to just hold shift and click on the link to do save as :) glad to be of service on the mirroring
