Braga: ‘I still cringe when I hear it.’ Apparently, it was a long road to the franchise’s most despised title music (www.slashfilm.com)

Working from the oral history in The Five Year Mission: The next 25 years, this is a fascinating deep dive that answers the question “How did a recycled cover of a 1998 song written for Rod Stewart, ‘Where My Heart Will Take Me’ aka ‘Faith of the Heart’ become the title music for Enterprise?”

Also, after resisting melodic scoring in all the 90s shows, it turns out this was the music Rick Berman liked?!!

“…I, for one, can tell you that I thought it was a great opening and I'm not alone in that. I don't think I'm in the majority, but I'm not alone."

And it seems the song does have its own subniche of supporters who share Berman’s view. (But not I.)

I'm not sure if you have seen archers theme played with the intro video, but the music lines up with the scenes very well. I'd bet that it was made as the opening credits scene.

I've seen that, although I think it was a fan video and not any official creation. I liked it very much. It would have made a better introduction for sure.

I’m sure it was a fan creation. It’s just that it aligned so well I could see the computer using that footage when making archers theme.
