Analysis

Key: F Major/C Major
Time Signature: 4/4
Tempo: 125 BPM
Length: 2:34
Release Date: June 23, 2011
Update: Über
Composer: Mike Morasky

The song starts out with a strong, resolved C Major chord from a choir section, giving a triumphant feel with little tension. This is soon broken as the choir plays with a more dissonant sound, which introduces the more iconic stylings of the chromatic guitars and brass sections featured elsewhere on the soundtrack. The guitar plays predominantly within the F Blues scale, basing itself around the chord progression C5 D# F5 G#. This could easily be seen as a C Major progression, especially given how the C fits nicely as a tonic, however the riffs between chord changes are more in-line with an F Blues-style scale.

As the song slows down, the guitar fades out in unison with a newly-approaching drum fill and another, more-chromatic guitar. This carries the song into a similar section, now minus the guitar as only the percussion and brass create a more carefree section. After this break, the song repeats, with the guitar joining back in and repeating the same phrases.

Sheet Music

Key: C Major

Lyrics

Official sheet music was posted on the TF2 Official Blog on July 10, 2020. Contained in the score for Medic! are the Latin lyrics heard in the beginning. They are:

Nex est totus in ter
Medicus comodo servo
vel nos mo osto tus inter
Ah...


This roughly translates to

Death is all around but the doctor will keep all of us whole
