This is a general and somewhat angsty BSG mix, and I mean very general, as most of the songs can apply to a lot of different ongoing situations in the show. No major spoilers past season 3.

1. Godspeed You Black Emperor - " '. . .Nothing's Alrite In Our Life. . .'/The Dead Flag Blues (Reprise)/The Sad Mafioso. . ."

"It has begun."
-number 6, miniseries


instrumental

2. Richard Gibbs - "Starbuck's Recon" (composed for Battlestar Galactica: the Miniseries)

3. Edward James Olmos - "You can't hide from the things that you've done"

4. Radiohead - "Backdrifts"

". . .I can't stop thinking about the Olympic Carrier."
"That was three days ago. It's ancient history under these circumstances. Leave the second-guessing to the historians."
-apollo and adama, "water"


We're rotten fruit
We're damaged goods
What the hell, we've got nothing more to lose
One gust and we will probably crumble
We're backdrifters

This far but no further
I'm hanging off a branch
I'm teetering on the brink
I'm backsliding

You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do


5. Hybrid - "Dreaming Your Dreams"

"She. . .Caprica Six, she chose me. Chose me over all men, chosen to be seduced. Taken by the hand, guided between the light and the dark. But is she an angel or is she a demon? Is she imaginary or is she real? Is she my own voice or is she the voice of. . .?"
-baltar, "taking a break from all your worries"


Cause where you're going

I'll follow you, follow you

And what you're feeling

I'll feel for you, feel for you

And what you're hearing

I'm singing for you

And when you're sleeping

I'm dreaming your dreams

for you. . .


6. Bob Dylan - "When the Ship Comes In"

"It won't be an easy journey. It will be long and arduous. But I promise you one thing. On the memory of those lying here before you, we shall find it. And Earth will become our new home. So say we all!"
-adama, miniseries


Oh the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'.
Like the stillness in the wind
Before the hurricane begins,
The hour that the ship comes in.


7. Thom Yorke - "Harrowdown Hill"

"I have seen things. . .The things you have done. Things you felt you had to do. All leading to this moment. Do you wish to be forgiven, my child?"
. . ."Yes."
-the hybrid and shaw, razor


I can't take their pressure
No one cares if you live or die
They just want me gone
They want me gone

(It was me lured into the back of Harrowdown Hill
I was lured into the back of Harrowdown Hill
It was a slippery slippery slippery slope
It was a slippery slippery slippery slope. . .)


8. The Sugarcubes - "Traitor"

"You're telling me that Gaeta saw this list and didn't do a damned thing about it?"
"We have no idea of knowing what Gaeta did or did not do when he saw the list."
"My gods, the whole thing's like a bad dream, only we woke up and the traitors are all still here. . .Guilty."
-starbuck and chief, "collaborators"


My punctuality is well known
When the revolution takes place
I'll be late
And I'll be shot as a traitor

When the sun rises
I will not see
I regret nothing
It was worth it


9. Jamie Bamber - "That's justice"

10. Jeff Buckley - "Eternal Life"

"Genocide, murder, vengeance, they're all sins in the eyes of God. That's what you and I know."
"That's what they don't wanna hear. Because then they'd have to rethink what they're doing. They'd have to consider that maybe the slaughter of mankind was a mistake."
-caprica six and boomer, "downloaded"


There's no time for hatred, only questions
Where is love, where is happiness, what is Life,
where is peace?

When will I find the strength to bring me release?
And tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said?
Man, It sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
And I've got a message for you and your twisted hell
You better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye
to life eternal, angel...


11. Nine Inch Nails - "The Becoming"

"How many of us ended up with the people we really wanted to be with?. . .Because the ones we really wanted, that really loved, were dead, dying. . .turned out to be cylons and they didn't know it."
-chief, "escape velocity"


all
pain disappears,
it's the nature of
of my circuitry,
drowns
out all I hear,
no escape from this,
my new consciousness.

the me that you know,
he used to have feelings,
but the blood has stopped pumping,
and he is left to decay,
the me that you know,
is now made up of wires,
and even when I'm right with you,
I'm so far away.


12. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - "All Along the Watchtower"

"I hear it everywhere. I mean. . .But I can't really hear it. Do you know what I mean?"
"Yeah. It's like you can grab just a part of the melody, and then it goes away. Like it's something from. . ."
"Childhood."
-anders and chief, "crossroads pt. one"


"No reason to get excited"
The thief he kindly spoke.
"There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke.
But ah, you and I we've been through that.
And this is not our fate.
So let us not talk falsely now,
The hour's getting late.


13. Bear McCreary - "Someone To Trust" (composed for season three: "Taking A Break From All Your Worries")

14. Bright Eyes - "No One Would Riot For Less"

"Let's just be glad that we both came back alive, all right?"
"That's just it, Kara. I didn't want to make it back alive."
-starbuck and apollo, "resurrection ship pt. two"


Little soldier, little insect, you know war... it has no heart.
It will kill you in the sunshine, or happily in the the dark.
Where kindness is a card game and a bent up cigarette,
In the trenches, in the hard rain, with a bullet and a bet.

He says help me out, yeah, hell is coming
Could you do it now? hell is here


15. Campbell Lane - "The prophecy"

16. Beck - "The Information"

The information is laughing at us
The ticker tape feeds the night
Looking for a lost transmission
A heaven that we left behind

Say hello to a mannequin
The ghost of an automaton
The witching hour is summoning up
Armies where they don't belong

She's the sister of avarice
The wife of a poisonous tide
She's the eye of a battle of storms
That sees where the atoms collide

When the information comes
We'll know what we're made from
And the skyline rising
Highrise eyes see through you
