I came across them at http://www.fireflydvd.com/wp/ but in case anyone missed them I've uploaded them onto my site which can be found here:

(you'll have to scroll down a bit)

Watching the Mal's Song video game me goosebumps, the singer is amazingly talented.

I've got a lot of other Firefly/Serenity goodies on my site; I might make a dedicated Firefly section of the site soon..

Tell me what you think!

PS yeah I know I already posted this in 'other sci-fi series' board, but that was a mistake :)

Hmmm. No replies.

So, either everyone who saw the video was so stunned by the awesomeness of it that they were rendered speechless, OR they're not impressed enough by it to actually talk about it.

Heh.

Yeah, the vid is stunning and really does the song justice. I'm spreading news of both as far and wide as I can.

Probably because most people can't get it working because it is in Quicktime 7 format which doesn't work on most machines yet if you can find it to download.

It would be nice if someone could format it to a Windows Media Player, an older Quicktime format, or even Real Player. Then I think most people will be able to watch it.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

Ah, that explains why it looks so clean and sharp.

Here are the lyrics as best as I can tell. Some are hard for me to understand so feel free to post corrections. Also this is the first one I have done so if you don't like the format, well, I posted it first so you can change it for your own needs

---------------------------------

When the stars shine bright threw the engines trail,
and the dust of another world drops behind.
When my ship is free of the open sky,
it’s a damn good day of my way of mind.

There’s a barren planet, you never can leave,
there’s a rocky valley where we lost a war.
There’s a cross once hung around a soldiers neck,
there’s a mans faith died on Serenities floor.
But I stood my ground and I’ll fight once more.
It’s the last oath that I ever swore.

So take my love, take my land, take me where I can not stand
I don’t care, I’m still free, you can’t take the sky from me.
So take me out into the black, tell em I ain’t coming back.
Burn the land, boil the sea, you can’t take the sky from me.
You can’t take the sky from me.

When you see a man and he’s standing alone,
well you just might take him for an easy mark,
and there’s many man that’s tried his hand,
and there’s worse than wolves in the border land dark.

From the savage men to the government hand,
tried to take what’s yours and tear you threw.
I’ve been on the run an he’s guarding my back.
The fool don’t know that his families his crew.
Don’t you tell me what I can not do.
Don’t you think I’ve got to run from you!

So take my love, take my land, take me where I can not stand
I don’t care, I’m still free, you can’t take the sky from me.
Take me out into the black, tell em I ain’t coming back.
Burn the land, boil the sea, you can’t take the sky from me.
You can’t take the sky from me.

When you walked my road and you’ve seen what I’ve seen,
well you wont go talking about righteous men.
You’ll know damn well why I want to keep to my sky,
never cry underneath nobodies heal again.

I’ve seen torment wrought across innocent souls,
seen sane men mad and good men die.
I’ve been hounded, hated, married and tricked.
I’ve been tortured, cheated, shot and died.
Won’t see no tears when I say goodbye.
Still got my family and my firefly.

So take my love, take my land, take me where I can not stand
I don’t care, I’m still free, you can’t take the sky from me.
Take me out into the black, tell em I ain’t coming back.
Burn the land, boil the sea, you can’t take the sky from me.
You can’t take the sky from me.

Yeah you need to get the very latest version of Quicktime I think from their website; Quicktime Preview 7.1 version or something I think.

There's also Quicktime Alternative; much the same, but better. The latest version plays the vid just fine.

I can translate it to a .mpg or .asf but I have no where to host it and it's too big to e-mail even threw gmail. If you have a solution feel free to let me know and I'll hook you up.

EDIT: By the way, the big one has never worked for me, try the low qual one, looks fine to me and works on older QT.

Hey guys guess what! I just found a link to other formats of Mals Song.

You have to scroll down a bit, the author of it decided that spreading the word of Firefly was more importent than movie format.

Have fun!

The link and details to the music video & mp3 file are on a different page now, coz I've archived the older news; get it here:
