Just listening to some old SSX tunes back from 2000 until I stumbled on this...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_(Welsh_band)
Turns out that the band who composed "Finished Symphony" ARE WELSH!



It's hard to believe all those years listening to this, I did not know that these music geniuses are from my country. :)
This made "Untracked", UNTRACKED!
Makes me cry everytime I listen to it...

Is there any music your proud of? Post a reply if you like to... :)

Just to let you know... (Hey, I am trying to get the forum alive) ;P

I think the topic fits here perfectly.

I think this is the perfect theme to be "proud of". This is irish music, see? The ending theme of METAL GEAR SOLID was made in the style of my nation. I remember finding out about that and my reaction was :eek

Thanks for posting this, it was great to revisit this song.

Irish Lyrics | Click to reveal hidden content
An cuimhin leat an grá
Crá croí an ghrá
Níl anois ach ceol na h-oíche
Táim sioraí i ngrá
Leannáin le smál
Leannáin le smál
Lig leis agus beidh leat
Lig leis agus beidh grá
Cuimhne leat an t-am
Nuair a bhí tú sásta
An cuimhne leat an t-am
Nuair a bhí tú ag gáire

Tá an saol iontach
Má chreideann tú ann
Tug aghaidi ar an saol is
sonas sioraí inár measc

Céard a tharla do na laethanta sin
Céard a tharla do na h-oícheanta sin
An cuimhin leat an t-am
Nuair a bhí tú faol bhrón

An cuimhin leat an t-am
Go sioraí sileadh na ndeor
an ormsa nó orainne a bhí an locht

Ag mothú caiite s'ar fán
Cén fáth an t-achrann is sileadh na ndeor
Tá áilleacht sa saol Má chuardaíonn tú e
Tá gliondar sa saol
Creideann sé


English Translation | Click to reveal hidden content
Do you remember love
Love from a tormented heart
Not fleeting, as with music at night
But an eternal love
Now tainted
Now tainted
Go now and reclaim it
Go now and love
Recall the times
when you were happy.
Recall the times
when you laughed.

Life is wonderful
Do you have faith in it?
Turn your face to life,
To eternal joy.

What happened to those days?
What happened to those nights?
Do you remember
How you turned to grief? Do you remember
How you turned to sorrow?
Is the blame mine or ours?

Our feelings grew faint
What caused our grief and fighting?
Can there be beauty in life?
If you seek it out.
Can there be happiness in life?
Let's seek it.

Wait, Wales is a country? How the hell does the UK work? I thought the UK was the country and England and stuff are states, no? Freaking...

Wales is a country that is part of the UK. There are no states, only other countries such as Scotland and Ireland (Well technically, its an own-land island) that overlap with the English Border. J̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶c̶o̶r̶d̶,̶ ̶Y̶e̶s̶.̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶U̶K̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶o̶u̶n̶t̶r̶y̶ ̶ t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶s̶i̶s̶t̶s̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶c̶o̶u̶n̶t̶r̶i̶e̶s̶

Well, lets put it this way. "United Kingdom" is actually a European Sovereign State from the whole of the European Region. I don't know. If you want to call UK a country, thats fine.

The UK is not a country and it pisses me off that it is drilled into us (sign up for something on the web for example and the dropdown boxes never have England, always just UK) to the point that we become brainwashed. When people ask where I am from I say the UK because ive been brainwashed. So when I have the option to write it I put England. Im from England, im English. England is a country, as are Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Collectively they are referred to as the UK. I dont get it though. Great Britain also means the same as the UK i think. Great is short for greater. (wider)

Back to the topic though, cool! i didnt know it was Welsh either. I first discovered the song when I got into trance around 2007. I also didnt know it was in an ssx game!

So.. Please follow me on this one. If Scotland is a country then its parliament is a national parliament. Does that make the parliament of the UK a supranational parliament? So in that sense the UK is its own tiny European Union. Now here's the weird part. England is a country but it doesn't have a government. Instead it's controlled by the parliament of the UK. But that one has Scots, whales and Irish in it. So what happens to England is in the hands of the other countries oh and the EU, too.

Yes I knew Hybrid was Welsh thanks to Wikipedia. I haven't checked on them lately. I wonder if they have a new album.

Lol, thanks for calling us "whales". Much appreciated! :|
I'm not really sure about parliament or anything about governments so I think its best not to find the answer of me. Thanks.:)

this thread has been extremely educational. i also was unaware that these dudes were Welsh. i also totally thought wales was like a city in England? yeah dude, your guys' organization is all effed up. but it's fun.

for the record, i always thought Utah Saints was an interesting band name. i guess i assumed they were from Utah, which is where i'm from (for all the UK'ers, Utah is a state in the US), and our claim to fame is the massive amount of mormons (aka latter day SAINTS) that live there, so it definitely was a nod to all that business.

there's also drum'n'bass producers / band named Utah Jazz. The Jazz is our NBA basketball team. SO I LIKE ALL THOSE LIL THINGS BECAUSE UTAH ROCKS OK? for your listening pleasure:
http://youtu.be/dKSLn8dGMig [I FORGET HOW TO EMBED YOUTUBE VIDS]

but to be honest, i don't have any songs that mean anything special to me. i'm boring.
