Talk:Flesh and Bone/Archive 1

I am not sure if this is of interest:

The article says (under Notes): "At the beginning of this episode, Boomer is humming a melody when she touches the captured Cylon Raider. The melody is from a Korean children's song, 'The spring pool on the mountain'."

It may be known in Korea as 'The spring pool on the mountain', but I am quite certain that it is a German song known as "Drunten im Unterland" from the 19th century (music by Friedrich Silcher, text by Gottfried Weigle).

See http://www.lieder-archiv.de/lieder/show_song.php?ix=300138

Listen to this MIDI file (seconds 12-22) or another MIDI file.

It might be, Ronald. If significant, it would be at least the second time that music makes a connection to the fate of the Colonials and the Cylons. --Spencerian 19:16, 18 November 2007 (CST)

I think we need a citation on the 'The spring pool on the mountain' reference. I think that came from Grace Park in an interview on Scifi.com, but I'm not 100% sure. --Steelviper 19:49, 18 November 2007 (CST)

This is the interview. Tune to about 1:06 left for the question and answer. She doesn't specifically mention the name of the song, just that it was a "folk song, or it's a Korean lullaby that my mom sang to us." I'm not sure where the name came in, or if the song sounds like that. --Steelviper 19:59, 18 November 2007 (CST)

Thanks for the reference to the interview. I believe that Grace Park's comment ""It's actually not totally ad-lib. I chose that song" is important - so it probably has no significance for the story. --Ronald 04:38, 19 November 2007 (CST)
