'''We're Burning Sunshine''' is the ninth exclusive track in the ''[[Halo Wars: Original Soundtrack]]'' Bonus DVD.
'''We're Burning Sunshine''' is a [[Halo Wars Bonus DVD|''Halo Wars'' Bonus DVD]] exclusive song. It can be heard in the cutscene where [[Red Team]] battles [[Honor Guard Elite]]s and [[John Forge]] battles the [[Ripa 'Moramee|Arbiter]].

It runs for a total of 2 minutes and 43 seconds.


==Overview==
==Trivia==
The track opens with strings playing short notes before brass enter as the melody. The melody turns graver before heavy percussion take over briefly. Strings play in triplets, followed by vocals singing the first two phrases of the Gregorian chant from ''[[Halo Theme]]''. Strings cut in shortly before resting, followed by a short cue by brass. Strings and woodwinds return in a heavy melody, followed by the first phrase of the Gregorian chant, but the melody does not resolve. Synthesizers return in eerie ambiance, soon joined by vocals and strings. They pause briefly before ending with a single note by piano. Strings and synthesizers return in ambiance, then joined by choir singing a graceful melody. The piece ends with drumrolls and a chord progression by piano.
*The name of this song is a reference to Sergeant Forge's line, ''"Gentlemen, '''we're burning sunshine here'''"''.
 
==Appearances==
The track plays in full during "Monsters", the beginning cinematic of the fifteenth ''[[Halo Wars]]'' [[campaign]] level ''[[Escape (Halo Wars level)|Escape]]'', when [[Red Team]] battles [[Sangheili]] and [[John Forge]] fights [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] at the [[Apex Site]].
 
The first Gregorian chant of the track, combined with ''[[Just Ad Nauseum]]'', also plays on the [[Alpha Base (Halo Wars level)|first level]] when UNSC forces take out Covenant forces around [[Alpha Base (Harvest)|Alpha Base]] to take it back.
 
==Production notes==
The name ''We're Burning Sunshine'' is a direct quote from [[John Forge]] during the cinematic, "Gentlemen, ''we're burning sunshine'' here".
