Every now and then a song comes along and takes you by surprise. It comes from a source that's completely unexpected and unforeseen, which I think makes that song even more amazing. This particular song falls into the category. It's entitled Gaeta's Lament and it's from the TV show Battlestar Galactica. Written and composed by the talented Bear McCreary and sung by Alessandro Juliani, this song gives me chills.Gaeta's Lament is first heard in the episode Guess What's Coming to Dinner which aired during Galactica's last season. It's sung by the character Gaeta, played by Alessandro who is recuperating in sick bay after having his leg amputated. Gaeta sings the song to take his mind off the pain. Lament starts off with just Alessandro singing acapella. Slowly and softly does the music come in and gradually it swells and builds to a beautiful crescendo.
This is another one of those songs that I can never tire of. Just the stark beauty of the music keeps a stranglehold on my attention, when you add the lyrics and the arrangement of the strings and the vocals, the darkness of the piece, that's when the goose bumps come. I wanted to introduce it to you in the hopes that you find it as compelling as I do.
