Hi,
I'm a newbie and a long time lurker but ran into something I wasn't sure you guys had heard. There is a folk group called Escape Key who have a song about the Captain using the theme song as the chorus. I can't get it out of my head:
http://www.cyphertext.net/escapekey/songs.html
just scroll down a bit, it's called Mal's song, if this has been posted earlier please ignore this.

This is quite impressive. Wonderful vocals and certainly worth the download. Here is a direct link for anyone who wants it:

Oh holy cow!

I had no idea people were listening to our music until I had the following conversation:

My husband (wearing a huge grin): Dear, I figured out why our net connection is so slow.
Me: Why?
Him: A link to Mal's Song has been posted on a Firefly fan site.
Me: You mean...
Him: ...yep. We're being slashdotted.

Thank you all *so much* for your kind response. I hoped people would like the song, but I never expected so many people to hear it. This is *wonderful*!

It'll be unavailable for an hour or so while my husband (the guitar player) creates a torrent for it, so that people can still download it without breaking our poor little server's head. So if you're still trying to get it, bear with us; it'll be back up very soon and I'll post a new link for it to this thread.

Oh, and I hope to have a better recording of it on our next CD. (Yeah... I even have fantasies of sending it to Joss. I'm too chicken, though.)

Wow. Just... wow!

The mp3 link will no longer work, and our page will have the torrent link instead, because our server just can't handle the traffic otherwise.

This is fantastic, Michelle! You have a beautiful voice, and I love listening to your lyrics. The quotes from the episodes are like little easter eggs for the fans! I hope that you'll send this song to Joss. I don't doubt he'll love it!

Fingers crossed for the safety of your server. This baby is going to circulate like... well, all the analogies that just came to mind were either venereal diseases in humorous locales or the Bubonic Plague, neither of which I'd like to equate with your song. Um... it'll circulate around the fandom like the video of the fat kid singing "Numa Numa"? Okay, I fail at similies. Great song, though. I'm off to plug your site in my blog!

Michelle, you should totally send it to Joss. The chorus sounds similar to his original version on the DVD. It's very good. I've been listening to it over and over. I love it! I'm sure Joss would be flattered and impressed.

VIXY

Tuesday, June 28, 2005 6:44 AM

The chorus IS his original version on the show. Stolen wholesale. :) As I commonly introduce it in concert: the TV theme song just really sounded to me like a chorus in search of some verses. So I wrote some.

That's one of the reasons I'm kinda nervous about ever sending it. But a girl can dream... :)

DAZ

Tuesday, June 28, 2005 7:40 AM

Mal's song was fantastic. Someone once asked Joss (at a conf I think) if there would be a longer version of the theme song and if there is going to be a soundtrack. I see the realisation of one and the potential for the other right here!

Michelle, perhaps what you could do with Joss is offer to write a whole "inspired by the show" kind of album or, dare I say it, contribute whole songs to the actual soundtrack of any future Serenity production. Makes a nice companion piece to any collection of Firefly related disks and might even help spread the word of the show through song. And it'll sell like hotcakes if the quality of that single track is any indication.

And how about a cover or reinvention of the Hero of Canton? :)

Gorgeous song, I stayed up late to download it (compy was being stupid) and I'm glad I went to sleep with it playing through my head. ^_^ It's perfect for Mal, and kind of gives the theme an even stronger meaning. I second those people telling you to send it to Joss, I'm sure he'd be thrilled.

You need to right click the link, and the "save link as" to wherever you like. When it downloads, it should play over whatever your default MP3 program is... Quicktime, Realplayer, WM, MusicMatch, iTunes, etc. Otherwise, just select whatever one of those style programs pops up in the window whem you click the filename.

When I do that, it asks me which program to open it with. I've tried both Windows Media Player and Real Player, and both say they do not have the software to support it. There must be something tricky about these torrent files, or there is the obvious - I'm absolutely computer stupid!!

Ah... that's the rub. BitTorrent is bad, at least for people like me that love using my workplace's cable connection, but have old crappy Macs that I wouldn't trust to run Torrent, plus the whole my boss kicking my @$$ for piracy....
My method works for the direct MP3 download, which you can get at the mirror sites that have been posted here or by zeigeist at whedonesque.com....

I have a feeling the file Anfa is dealing with is the .torrent file, which will only work if you have bittorrent installed.

For those who are not bittorrent-savvy, I'd highly recommend getting the .mp3 file from someone via e-mail or the mirror mentioned above.

Oh, by the way: exceptionally awesome song.

Many thanks for the wonderful tune and the wonderful voice.

Only it cut off halfway through the 2nd chorus. I was listening to the mp3 file since the torrent thingy wouldn't work for me. (Also techno-ignorant)

I downloaded this and put it on a CD to take to a friend of mine. I didn't tell him what it was. Just had him play it. About half way through it he turned to me and asked if this was something from the BDM. That shows he thought it was something profesionally done for the movie. That's how good it is, Vixy. You have to send it to Josh while there's still time to maybe get it in the movie.

Oh, if you want to get away from the bitTorrent stuff I would suggest you ask nicely to Haken (the owner of the this site) to put it on here as a feature. It would make it more accessible to Browncoats and easier to download and play. Just a suggestion.

That's not a stupid question at all Vixy, because danged if I know. I figured I'd Google around for a good addy - probably at Universal - but I also expect to meet him at Dragon*Con, so I can just hand it over. If he's not there for some reason, I'll give it to Nathan - he's an affable sort

Actually, Mutant Enemy was closed by Whedon about a year ago because Whedon does not have any plans to continue in TV for the next 10 years (which is when his contract with 20th Century Fox will end).

Vixy -
I've decided that since I plan on creating more songs about the BDH's (I have one written about Jayne's hat that I'll record soon, plus an idea for a Kaylee song) that I'm going to put together a CD to hand directly to Joss and the gang right there at Dragon*Con - that way I know they get it, plus it gives me an excuse to talk to them.

I'd love to include your song on there - I have the call out to anyone who's made recordings of songs inspired by the show/movie/BDHs so we can put it all on one big Browncoats tribute album. Let me know if I can put yours on there, of if you's prefer to keep it separate.

I'd love to have you include it. I assume you'll have a list of names and titles on there so Joss knows who wrote what. Credit is all I ask.

I *might* end up with a better recording of it after July 15 weekend, if someone records my performance at Confluence and if I do the song decently well. :) How soon are you putting together this CD?

You can email me privately if you want and we can talk about it further.

Chris was at the June 23rd showing in Charlotte, I believe he was given the banner to give to Joss.

He does also peruse these boards as well as the OB. One of the things he did at the preview was give a "shout out" to posters on this board who had participated in the Charlotte Preview thread.

I know I squealed and was in a daze for a bit after that

I’ve got to report failure, I’m afraid. It’s been more than a month since my message to Chris and he’s still not seen it; I think he’s not been on the OB for some time (hopefully, he’s been too busy).

Then again, I’m listening to your interview on “The Signal” right now (I’ve been off music for three weeks now; glad that’s over), so I see you’re getting some well-deserved exposure.

That said, my mom has suggested changing the last line to “… still got my crew and my Firefly,” but she gets meddlesome at times.

Anyway to find this song? I caught it on youtube and would love it on my iPod. That and a few other songs, but seems no one knows about the instrumental 'Browncoats Rising' nor the 'Mal's Song' that is the long version of the soundtrack. Anywho, this one would be shiny if someone could get it to me by either dropping the link or messaging me on my profile.

EDIT: and from reading the posts, has anyone sent it to Joss? If he's anything like me, he'd tear up when he heard this.

For those as may need it told ,

'Browncoats Rising' is a special composition

created by Austin Wintory , an award-winning film

and entertainment media composer . Austin is a

Browncoat and true Firefly fan . He created

'Browncoats Rising' at the suggestion of the

Independent Spaceborne Forces , and it was played

in special tribute to 'Swanny' , or

Steve Swanson , the first Browncoat Astronaut ,

the man who shuttled the Firefly and Serenity

discs to the International Space Station .

But , it's a composition for ALL OF US , so

please enjoy 'Browncoats Rising' at

Austin Wintory's website !

There's a special page

where you can go and click the highlighted link

to hear 'Browncoats Rising'.

If you enjoy it ,

please send Mr. Wintory an email and let him know

that you like it ! This is strictly a

non-commercial , spare-time effort by Austin ,

but if you'd enjoy an MP-3 snippet of 'ringtone'

length , please let him know that as well !

We Browncoats are privileged to have a man of

such Shiny talent on our side !

This song is wonderful.

Ordinarily I don't plug merchandise, but I went to a mini-con recently and listened to a group called Bedlam Bards.

One of the Bards is a big-time Browncoat and has made his own compilation CD of filk of Firefly called On the Drift.

Four stars.
go to Bedlambards.com for a listen.

They have the Hero of Canton and also a filk of it called the Ballad of Joss.
