I'm a big believer that it doesn't matter where a song comes from, or how someone finds out about it; what matters is the song's ability to resonate with the soul of the listener. A lot of pretentious folks out there like to judge people for "only hearing it on that TV show" or toot their own horns for "being a fan when <insert band name here> was still underground." But hey, even in today's world, even with the powers of the internet, we can't all know about every good artist that's out there before they make it big...
So that's a mini-rant about bands in general, but it applies because this song is from a video game. The composer, choir, and symphony are all brilliant, so there's no reason to pass judgment based on the source. I found out about it from my little bro Nate, who's a much more avid gamer than I. But while I don't spend tons of time gaming these days, I do remember some pretty cool musical themes from various games over the years.
At any rate, here's a pretty cool, uplifting piece that you should check out.
I've actually never played civilization, haha, but I instantly fell in love with that song. Obviously.
