00:09 Outlander fans have been humming the series' main theme since the pilot episode released back in 2014.
00:16 [Music]
00:19 Ahead of season 6, many viewers are listening to the Sky Boat song to help with the long wait for season 6.
00:26 [Music]
00:30 But what is the hidden meaning behind the lyrics?
00:32 What do the Sky Boat song lyrics mean?
00:35 Since season 1 of Outlander fans have been greeted by the familiar theme of the Sky Boat song.
00:40 [Music]
00:43 The song was composed by Bear McCreary, a Hollywood musician with a wealth of experience,
00:49 best known for The Walking Dead, 10 Cloverfield Land and God of War.
00:53 [Music]
00:56 One thing McCreary has done is slowly adapt the main theme each season,
01:01 with season 5 being no different.
01:03 [Music]
01:06 While the lyrics don't change, listeners will pick up on subtle changes to the notes,
01:11 which indicate the geographic changes of each new season.
01:14 [Music]
01:18 McCreary has explained these changes,
01:21 speaking to Mashable about the inspiration going into each new season.
01:24 [Music]
01:28 Ahead of season 3's release, McCreary spoke about how the show's dramatic move
01:33 from Scotland to Jamaica influences the sounds of the theme.
01:36 [Music]
01:40 The composed explains, "We're going on to the high seas,
01:44 we're going to Jamaica, we are leaving Scotland behind."
01:47 [Music]
01:50 Now, with episode 309, the percussion becomes much more pronounced to channel a breezy,
01:56 Caribbean vibe as Claire and Jamie set sail in pursuit of young Ian.
02:00 [Music]
02:04 As for the sky boat itself, the song is performed by McCreary's wife,
02:09 Raya Yarbrough, whose vocals can be heard throughout the soundtrack of the series.
02:13 [Music]
02:17 She has worked with McCreary before, in the likes of 10 Cloverfield Lane and Agents of Shield,
02:23 but she is also known for La La Land, Creed II and Mulan from 2020.
02:27 [Music]
02:31 As for the lyrics themselves, McCreary revealed the details behind the lyrics
02:36 when he first composed the music in 2014.
02:38 [Music]
02:42 Taking to his official blog, the composer explained how the song
02:46 chronicles Bonnie Prince Charlie's escape at the Battle of Culloden.
02:50 [Music]
02:54 This was chosen as these are the events that threaten the relationship between the series
02:59 leads Claire Randall, played by Katrina Balfe, and Jamie Fraser, Sam Heughan.
03:04 [Music]
03:07 McCreary added, "I've always adored this piece, and felt its well-known lyrical connection
03:13 to the Jacobite uprising would make it appropriate for this show."
03:16 [Music]
03:19 I struggled to connect with the famous lyrics by Sir H. Balton, however.
03:23 The lyrics are, "Sing me a song of a lass that is gone say, could that lass be I?
03:30 Mary of soul she sailed on a day over the sea to sky billow and breeze,
03:34 islands and seas mountains of rain and sun all that was good, all that was fair all that was me
03:39 is gone sing me a song of a lass that is gone say, could that lass be I? Mary of soul she
03:45 sailed on a day over the sea to sky." Trending the theme for 6 has not yet been revealed,
03:50 as the upcoming season will be arriving in early 2022.
03:54 [Music]
03:57 Season 7 has also been announced, expected to drop the following year in 2023.
04:03 [Music]
04:06 Both seasons will bring back the Sky Boat song,
04:09 though as is tradition, they will each sound slightly different.
04:12 [Music]
04:16 Currently, outside of Outlander, McCreary is working on this game's called Murder,
04:21 Blazing Samurai and God of War, Ragnarok.
04:24 [Music]
04:28 Outlander is available to watch on Starz and Amazon Prime Video.
