Ooooooh I'm a looooser. Are you a 10yo kid in a playground trying to roast some classmate? I'm way past this. At least in "pathetic human being", there is "human being". Anyway, I see you're the kind of person easily triggered by the word "zionist". Good. I like that.

Regarding the bison almost extinction, I have exaggerated by suggesting that it was "only" to starve the natives to death, because I haven't mentioned any other alternative and talked only about that. It was also for sport, shooting training and, of course, industrial purposes:
https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2016/05/the-buffalo-killers/482349/
https://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/columns/straight-dope/article/13047783/were-bison-slaughtered-to-starve-american-indians-whether-it-was
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bison_hunting

Regarding the typhus blankets/stuff given to the native, indeed it seems I was wrong. It was smallpox (just on a way smaller scale than my comment suggested):
https://www.history.com/news/colonists-native-americans-smallpox-blankets
https://www.historynet.com/smallpox-in-the-blankets.htm

All the rest of your laïus about diseases, vaccines and stuff...irrelevant. Never talked about that. And I always love when someone calls the iconic cliché that states "400 years ago everyone was sick, everyone died, everyone starved, life was hell on earth and no one ever died of natural death in their sleep in their bed, only by deseases malnutrition starvation and so on", and blah, blah, blah.

I felt a disturbance in the Force, a shockwave as though the very earth was trembling...

I heard thousands upon thousands of people suddenly cried out as the tide grew ever taller...

And were suddenly in applause as the tide ebbed, leaving its masterpiece behind as a token like how waves leave behind shells, like how the ships of old left their passengers on American shores.

I heard the cries of the crowds as they begged the tide to return, to showcase even more the power of music and the stories they tell.

TSFH and Thomas are the wave, and they shall return as the tide leaves to gather together another display of power for the next showing.

Great job guys. E pluribus unum truly stands here!

40 minutes? This means that this is Bergersen's 1st Symphony. He's on the same level as the old Classical composers now.

hi anna from emc

Hello world 25

To be honest, I feel like he broke through that level ages ago

Maestro Gaming

The structure is too loose for a symphony, but it can be likened to a mix of the Classical, Modern, and present day Contemporary Eras^^ A brilliant piece, indeed.

Edit: Granted there are areas that appear to be heavily classical, which is absolutely brilliant.

Agustín Fodrini

@Willy K Although this Masterpiece is quite close, I certainly agree Dvorak's 9th is superior. Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto on the other hand doesn't stand a chance lmao.

@Mr Thief well, TSFH is modern. Rare good modern music.

David Okelly

I agree! This is SO outstanding!! I am a classical musician myself and am partial to the works of Thomas Bergerson and am late to the party for this score and I think it's my favorite of his.
I love listening to Mahler and Ricard Strauss routinely and I think Thomas Bergerson will be added to my routineon my long car rides😀

Heavily influenced by various John Williams soundtracks - the ones from the Seventies, not the later ones - with most references to JAWS. Nothing wrong with that!

Dear Thomas Bergersen,
I'm so glad that in this world, there's a person as talented as Beethoven and Mozart and Chopin etc. And that person is you. I sat the entire 44 minutes hearing this wonderful piece, and it felt like watching a movie. Thank you Thomas Bergersen for giving me such inspiration. You've completely changed my life. I've never experienced a greater 44 minutes of my life listening to music. I just wanted to say thank you and continue to inspire others. Your music will always be my relief, my guide, my inspiration. You're the BEST. Keep up the good work!!

God bless AMERICA and TFSH!!!

If you look at the text of the cover, it says "American Dream". But the word "Dream" stands under "ican", so you can read "I Can Dream".
Coincidence, or a deep hidden meaning?

Edit: of course this doesn't need to be true, it is a bit far fetched and highly coincidence. I saw it somehow, and I completely understand if you think this comment is overrated and/or cringe. But it still is something that could be a nice touch to a wonderfull musicpiece like this one.

The title of the last piece was written in an extremely cringy and inappropriate way. It should be as Thomas wrote it in the description: "Land of the free, home of the brave". That way, it displays magnificence and absolute beauty. Adding "The" at the beginning and "and" as a connector makes it seem like a child is saying it.

This really needs to be adapted into a musical. I just imagine a classic 1920's themed story with ups and downs, but the message being about how the American Dream will never die.

Better yet, just accompanying this with a video flying through the various places of America. With all its weather and beauty, its cities, and people. All showcased in some nice 45 minute way timed to the music.

I am a student from El Salvador, and I got the blessing to get a scholarship to study in the USA. I have to say. Thomas Bergensen captured all the details that you feel when going to another country to follow your dream. There are moments of joy, wonder, adventure and sunny days, but they are an equal number of trials and sadness (perfectly portrayed by Missing Home 26:18). All I can say is thank you Thomas, you have portrayed in 44 minutes what 2 years of my adventure have been. I am looking forward for your next album!

Thank you, Mr. Bergersen. It is because of your art, first ignited from "Heart of Courage" that I have grown to live for music. Feeling chills for the first time, drawing out emotions that I didn't even know I had. It is an understatement to say that it is now my passion, as I strive to discover more through this medium of music about both myself and others.
This channel indeed receives many comments like this one. But please remember that I, and every other person with a like history of love/loss; a life, will be changed for the rest of our lives, and will be able to look back on each of our "hearts of courage" for the moment that moved all moments after. Because of this even will the world be moved; people are awesome marvels capable of what seems impossible, as you are testiment of.
I am no longer the child who saw through your lense the possibility of expressing the human experience. I am maturing now into a man who could become such only through that experience transforming me. I can't tell you thank you enough. May God bless you and Nick.

The American Dream is largely dead. We're a once great nation, but the Republicans killed our Capitalism with Crony Capitalism and Corporatism, and the left killed.... everything with their progressivism. Things have been slowly going down hill here for a hundred years and appear to be getting worse faster. I hear much the same happened to the one magnificent British Empire. I share your loss.

Samuel Richter it does exist. My family came from a very poor family in Mexico and then coming here has giving them a opportunity to climb up. Now they aren’t poor anymore. My family is middle class but we are slowly getting there and virtue isn’t alien to me. I’ve met some incredible ppl from school and a few friends from the outside world that are truly virtuous and helpful at times. I can tell you now they would still be poor if they stayed in mexico. But now that we are in the United States of America. We are proud to call ourselves americans. This country is so beautiful with such freedom and opportunities to try. But with opportunities ppl must put a lot of effort into it. I love america. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻

To be perfectly honest America was already leveling Japanese cities with conventional bombs. Yes the death toll from the nuclear bombs was extremely high but, the alternative was a land invasion of the home islands. The military brass believed that the loss of around 450,000 US troops was unacceptable, especially considering that a successful invasion would leave at least double Japanese military casualties and an inestimable number of civilian casualties as well as prolonging the war even more. Overall a land invasion would have cost all parties dearly and ultimately decimated the Japanese home islands.

@Random Guy
I do agree that there are problems with the U.S, but you have to understand that the main reason it's problems are so scrutinized is because the U.S is one of the global powers today. Bigger and more globally involved countries are going to receive more attention to everything they do, whether is it their accomplishments, or their mistakes/wrongdoings.

Which is somewhat amusing seeing as they're not American themselves.

"The shy little Mayflower weaves her nest, But the south wind sighs o'er the fragrant loam, And betrays the path to her woodland home." Sarah Helen Whitman. TSFH have finally returned home displaying all their brilliant and incredible colours. This is absolutely magnificent and I am ready to share in their epic Mayflower adventure!

So even when, unlike 99.99% of the human race on internet, I have the objectivity and hnesty to correct my claims a bit, I'm still a loooooser. You're a special kind of disrespectful and arrogant and hateful person with an oversized ego, aren't you ? And regarding my stances, indeed, why would I stand on the side based on geopolitical lies, deceptions, thievery and lobbying, colonization, warmongering, racialist and supremacist agenda, and oppression ? With many actions directly illegal in the eyes of international law, and yet in full and absolute impunity ? The one that exists only because they are so good at lobbying, lying and deceiving that they are disproportionately supported by all the major nations of the west against their direct interests ? Nah, I wish both sides could be nuked clean so the world can get rid of both their bullcrap for good (especially one, guess which) and so we can start over, but if I had to chose, indeed my stance won't be with the zionists chosen race and promised land. One nanosecond of objective reseaching, critical thinking and honesty is enough for that. It's your right to be on their side, it's mine not to. Looooooser out.

Yeah I've also heard of the diseases. Like the European settlers giving stuff to local pupulations (was mainly in north USA or Canada I think), but they put typhus inside, to get rid of them. Or when they killed most of the bisons to starve them to death... That's actually a pretty god idea ! If you want to get rid of some population, just get rid of their main food. Job done. So just like the zionists with the Palestinians, it may not match the international right / UNO strict and specific definition of a "genocide", but in reality, it still is pretty damn close.

damn the violin at 32:25 makes me grin like an idiot every time. Massive brass and percussion section finishes and then that violin comes in, bold as can be and keeps the excitement going without skipping a beat. I love it.

Hey Thomas you have no idea how much i love your music and how life is with it, your music is an inspiration to me and always soothes me down, i have cried, dreamed, loved all at the same time with each one of your pieces and oh gosh i just wanted to say thank you because if someday i would be lost in a desert place the three things that won't let me fall on hope would be:
1.my sister
2. My soulmate
3. And your music 😍😍😍💖💖💖💖

As spectacular as it sounds, I imagine how demanding this must be for the musicians to play. Particularly strings. To record nearly 45 minutes of not-to-be-taken-lightly sheet notes at once - grand applause to those players. All of them. hat tip
EDIT: I'm hearing A LOT of Tchaikovsky in there. Particularly The Nutcracker.

There is something wonderful in the title Quien Eres Tu. I looked up the meaning, which is 'who are you?' in Spanish. Not only are these songs beautiful and relaxing, but they provide an amazing escape to the imagination. I can just see a Spanish pirate meeting the one seeking the American dream and asking that very question while holding said person at swordpoint.

WOW. Just listenned to the entire thing and it's wonderful. It reminded me a lot to movies I had seen as a child because it has this "everything is possible" "this world is a wonderful place" feeling that really brougth me back to when I was little and I used to got completely absorbed by the movie as if I had known the characters and places and the movie was real. This has the power to bring my inner child to life and it's really beautiful. Thanks

Still always blown away by this masterpiece, even after falling in love with it in December 2018. The perfect soundtrack to my journeys in Asia for 2.5 months.
