The Enterprise Theme Tune

[skoon]

well, I'm not going to get to the 20th ep. I got bored & stopped watching around the 7th or so.

 

[Dave]

Really?

You must say more, I've only seen 3 episodes but I think it's great. And I was very skeptical about this series at first, just read my posts from last year!!

 

[Neo]

It did slow down after the first one... but it definately gets better...

 

[Chilly]

hey i dont see wats rong with the tune..........dont kill me! lol
i mean....i dunno.....its relaxing........oh man...i hope my friends dont read this .....but i think its sweet...:disturbed :erm:

 

[Dave]

The closing music.

I just realised that there is some different music at the end (I think it is by Jay Chatterway)

I never noticed it before, because usually a Sky One announcer talks over it, but I heard it tonight. It's good, much more like 'Trek' music!!

I have to say that I've 'accepted' the theme music now though!

 

[Chilly]

lol

i havent actually heard it but ive heard rusell watson and hes wicked!

i for one love it.... the opening sequence...

the end is a bit slow... but i think its better than ds9

 

[Neo]

new theme tune..

I was downloading some episodes of Ent. to take on the road with me on a trip next week, when I came across an alternative opening credit intro. It is the same visual set to a more "Trek-esque" soundtrack. I believe its derived from something on the Star Trek: Generations music scheme. Its actually very beautiful. See if you can find it, and tell me what you think.

Enterprise songwriter Diane Warren was nominated for an Oscar, for her work for the war movie Pearl Harbour.

 

[Neo]

sweet

The original version of Faith of the heart is far better then the one used on Enterprise...

If you get the chance to hear it, do, it is pretty good

BTW - I Like Enterprise

 

[Neo]

Thanks Wingless Flyer... What u like about enterprise

 

[Wingless Flyer]

I dunno really...

I like the way crew fit in together, and think some of the storties are pretty good. But I do agree that the inconsistancys are bad, they are. But it is still enjoyable to watch, if just for the entertainment value..

Great advice - I really like the song. Yes, it's a departure, but what the hey - it goes great with the footage in the titles, which I also love!

Commonwealth Games

Did you know Russell Watson sang the song at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Manchester this Summer?

 

[jeane]

I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

:circle:

It's totally different but fits perfectly! Specially when it says that He (they) can reach any star and going where my heart will take me.

The ships Enterprises are another good idea and the time line of evolution very intelligent. It suggest that one day we'll get there!


Here goes all the song:


FAITH OF THE HEART
by Diane Warren and Russell Watson


It's been a long road getting from there to here
It's been a long time, but my time is finally near
and I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothing's in my way
and they're not gonna hold me down no more
No they're not gonna hold me down
Cause I've got faith of the heart I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul and no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star, I've got faith, I've got I've got I've got faith... faith of the heart

It's been a long night trying to find my way
Been through the darkness, now I've finally had my day
and I will see my dream come alive at last I will touch the sky
And they're not gonna hold me down no more no they're not gonna change my mind

Cause I've got faith of the heart I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul and no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star, I've got faith, I've got I've got I've got faith... faith of the heart

I'm going where the winds so cold, to see the darkest days
But now the winds are free...only winds have changed
I've been to the fire and I've been to the rain
But I'll be fine cause I've got faith… faith of the heart

Cause I've got faith of the heart I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul and no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star, I've got , I've got I've got I've got faith....faith of the heart
faith of the heart I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe and no one's gonna bend or break
I can reach any star, cause I've got faith, cause I've got faith, faith of the heart

Ah, it almost brings a tear to the eye

Finally managed to find this to download, it is a great old tune, and had better be in place for season 2. Can any of you americans confirm whether it is still there?

 

[skoon]

I'm Canadian & it's still there in S2

 

[Tabitha]

I meant (north) Americans, of course

Thanks skoon, and yay!
