1990 Commonwealth Games Anthem 'This Is The Moment'

[tkdbrother1977]

Do you have the complete version of this song? I use to play many times.

It was amazing how they told the story of the creation of New Zealand (Aotearoa) to the take over by the British & the Polynesian migration.

Fully ghey - sound like some Christian pop song from the 80's ... trust New Zealand to come up with the wankiest theme song ever for a sporting event

[Pukekura35]

Best song out of any Olympic or Commonwealth Games!

I can remember the joy of seeing our own country host the games back in 1990 I was just 10 years back then. Certainly the best games I ever saw since it was our own.

We haven't hosted the games since apparently we were considering hosting it in 2018 but John Key decided it wouldn't be good for our country because John Key only looks after John Key with his 15% GST and 90 day trial perid. Would be good if a future PM could bring the games back to NZ like we enjoyed it in 1990.

@asasinz2 It'd be great, but unfortunately the costs and logistics for hosting these events is greater than what it was in 1990...
