==Contributions to "Daybreak"==
== References ==
Brendan McCreary's voice becomes cosmically significant to the ''Battlestar Galactica'' universe in the series finale "[[Daybreak, Part II]]." As the singer of "[[The Music|All Along the Watchtower]]," his voice represents an all-knowing personality—a voice from somewhere in the universe that interacts in strange ways with the characters.<ref name="daybreak">{{cite web |url=https://bearmccreary.com/bg4-daybreak-pt-2/ |title=BG4: "Daybreak, Parts I & II" |author=Bear McCreary |date=March 20, 2008 |access-date=July 26, 2025}}</ref>


In the "Daybreak" episodes, Brendan contributed two additional songs that appear in the Caprica City strip club flashback scenes:
<div style="font-size:85%"><references/></div>


====="When Will the Work Be Done?"=====
== External links ==
This energetic rock song was originally written for the episode "[[Escape Velocity]]" but was deemed too energetic for that context. The song finally found its place in "Daybreak," playing during the strip club scenes with [[William Adama|Adama]] and the [[Saul Tigh|Tighs]]. The lyrics contain references to the attack on the colonies and the fleet's journey, with lines about fleeing from Caprica and being stuck in the fleet. According to Bear McCreary, the song's presence in the strip club creates an encoded warning of the events to come.<ref name="daybreak"/>
 
====="Ain't We Famous"=====
This song by Brendan's Band plays on the radio in the modern-day epilogue, preceding Jimi Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower." The song provides a perfect introduction to Hendrix while featuring Brendan's voice one final time in the series, maintaining the cosmic connection between his voice and the ''Battlestar'' universe.<ref name="daybreak"/>


According to Bear McCreary, Brendan's voice being heard at both the beginning of the finale (in the strip club) and at the end (on the modern radio) reinforces the concept that certain voices and songs exist across time and space, becoming known to selected individuals throughout the universe.<ref name="daybreak"/>
