[ISOXP]

Pela lentidão da música, ela poderia ser a Música tema do Senado Federal.

[ICLAIMTHISNAME]

what is the video material from?

[ulujain]

Epic song, slow-paced and dreary film.

[jacob7207]

He's smoking behind the piano, but playing a song encouraging others to run their hearts out. Does anyone else see anything wrong with this picture?

[zangiefsagat]

CRACKERS CRACKERS CRACKERS CRACKERS CRACKERS CRACKERS CRACKERS CRACKERS CRACKERS CRACKERS CRACKERS CRACKERS CRACKERS

[onderbroek68]

[gigante1593]

Whats the name of the tv show that had this in its opening?

[galaxiesmerge]

@gigante1593

Try this link below - it's from the 1966 movie "Born Free" - search YouTube for: Born Free by Liberace (John Barry, 1966)

... you will notice the similarity to Chariot's of Fire ...which is still different - but they are similar (in my view, if Vangelis played "Born Free" it would end up sounding a lot like Chariots of Fire...) ... you need to get past Liberace's intro to the main theme:

[10fox24]

isnt there another song with the piano part as the intro?

[TheMarioLuigiMan]

everybody hears this song and doesnt know wat it is so thanks.

[Untemperedsteel]

Vangelis is the sound track to so many great movies, and he is part of their greatness.

[11332560]

LOL nice call!

[JohnNPG]

Classic!

[pspmasterer13]

I've been looking for this song for a long time!!! Thank you!!!

[IIntruder]

everything is awesome with this song and slow motion haha^^

[buknar456]

i run to this everyday "behold the kingdom of god is within you"

[jr88881]

What, freedom & US ? :D What do those two have in common?

BTW, 'your' instead of 'you're' is really a stupid mistake. We Finns don't make mistakes like that although English is not our mother tongue.

The music is beautiful, as Vangelis' always.

[99biker]

Shame, you know. People aren't allowed to type however they like on an american site, which goes by the 'freedom' law. Just goes to show how immature some people really are.

[daltonagre]

Good art doesn't gets older.

[FOReverTRONtheband]

ahhh I<3people that afight about grammer

[CAMInnovation]

he just inhales like mad, takes a big puff, then watches a bunch a dudes running. I dont get it. Outta here.

[Silvio2330]

Uma música belíssima, um compositor maravilhoso, e um hábito tão nocivo!

[IrishLincoln]

Cancer didn't exist in 1981

[iXChRoNiiKzx]

your the meaning of stupid.

[IrishLincoln]

It's: "You're the meaning of stupid" you fucking illiterate punk. It was a joke and I wasn't even talking to you.

[iXChRoNiiKzx]

You realise that illiterate means inability to read/write.

I left out punctuation.

[IrishLincoln]

Look up "you're" versus "your". I believe illiteracy clearly defines your ailment.

You're obviously a child who has a lot of growing up to do. Stay off your mommy's computer.

[iXChRoNiiKzx]

Wow.

Your arrogant.

and a tad cocky.

It really shows, you know that?

[IrishLincoln]

Yes, thank you.

[IrishLincoln]

Oh, and it's "you're arrogant". I guess you didn't look up the grammatical difference between "Your" and "You're". Oh well.

[iXChRoNiiKzx]

double posting?

Nice,

Its pathetic that you cling on to grammar as an argument.

And ill bet before you posted that, you checked for any errors.

You make me want to cry sometimes.

Your that lonely.

[IrishLincoln]

@iXChRoNiiKzx

you again?

[iXChRoNiiKzx]

You sound displeased.

:(

[janamenegaz]

Ele fumando um cigarrinho no clip está demais... hahaha

[TheDward00]

[Flitser]

[robert0joe]

I feel like running in slow motion.

[fastorama]

0:24-0:51

[butpain76]

Almost everyone i know, and ALOT of people know this song, But can never name the song when it comes on wich is sad.

[robertkylekelley]

[rubagaroof]

nothing like smoking while thinking about running!

[martinthemillwright]

[zane7949]

[cpond007]

[J4K31]

@sweetrevenge191 i'd rather be a jerk than dead, cheers

[sweetrevenge191]

@sweetrevenge191

Oh yea, me too.

[Grizzly0679]

@rubagaroof the other day I asked some runners going by if they had a light.

[yangmckitrick]

i feel like running in slow motion!!!

[krissy55066]

@yangmckitrick me too! :D

[werblun]

W/out Vangelis' Oscar winning score for "Chariots Of Fire", that film would've never taken home the grand prize. Don't get me wrong! "Chariots..." is a wonderful film. But, it's this music that elevates the film! 1981 WAS the year that "Raiders Of The Lost Ark", was also nominated for "Best Picture"? Still...amazing muzic!!!! I love Vangelis!

[D0g63rt]

I fell into a chariot of fire, went down down down till the flames got higher

[BogdanLeitan]

Really good mate. Really good. Check out my cover...let me know what you think. It's a guitar version. Cheers. 5*

[peloton50]

one of the all time great sports movie with a very compelling message on values hard work , love and faith

[boogiebomb2knightrnr]

Check out the synthesizers, was it a Jupiter 8 I saw, and was the other one a Moog or a Juno?

Loved this song since I first heard it in 85' when my aunt bought the record. I've been a music junkie since a kid thanks to songs like these. When Xmas come around, this song brings out the holiday spirit.

[CreepyT]

Vangelis is playing a Yamaha CS-80 with his left hand then the Korg PS-3300 with the right. Above the CS-80 is an ARP 2500. I think he was showing off his favorite (and most expensive) synths here.

[boogiebomb2knightrnr]

Wow, I was way off..lol

Thanks!

[simplyeighties]

See more Vangelis at

[snip3r82]

[WRX2001]

The music made Chariots of Fire Great...TITANS from the Alexander soundtrack is also awesome.

[225573275]

[harbingerofcake]

Inspiring stuff! This song inspired me to smoke at my piano. Thanks, Vangelis.

[Flophole]

you're a wonderful person :D

[UltimateDoomsdayGame]

This song... reminds me of good ol' Terry Fox, running for cancer.

(Gives a thumb up)

Go Terry!

[Demind41]

[monkeyhoyle1]

it reminds me of beijing olympics

[jairgrass]

Olimpic Games, Beinjing 2008 :D

[1104882221]

In regards to my earlier post, perhaps one of you hot young Yank blokes would like to join this lad in the toilet ("restroom") for a short while...that would be quite naughty, innit?

[1104882221]

Somehow my totally non-Hellenic mind always confuses the music mega-genius Vangelis with Eleftherios Valezerios or whatever his name is...BTW how come in Greece their toilets (that's "restrooms" to you Yanks) are UNISEX??

[fearzinger]

FAKE

[SavageHenry78]

??????????????????????

[Jamie1P608]

your an idiot

[fearzinger]

[amelia147]

Don't you just wish you could compose music like this?

[shakisboy1]

[Zigabite01]

this is a work of art created by a genius

[ALLASBIGFOOT]

It is necessarry to have a wide heart and generous imagination to be able to share such beautifull thoughts composed into a song that will and been positive to so many people.

[TokioH0telRox]

lol! i love this song it rox!

[BaboonBreath1]

Vangelis figured that where there's smoke, there's Chariots of Fire.

[eyeofanewt]

[EllenBauer711]

Ran a marathon once with this playing in my head..

[algoremanbearpig666]

******manbearpig: if u r readin this... know that i'm comin fur u gurl :) :)

[0170472890]

fantasctic pice of music

[ricksbabe2]

Just after he completed Opera Sauvage and Hymne was the theme music for the old Gallo wine commercials, he was tapped to write the soundtrack for Chariots of Fire. It is classic Vangelus, highly melodic but not overpowering.

[fishingchef6]

aaaaahhhhhhh i love it too much i just want to run in slow mo my whoe life and listen to this song my whole life!!!!!! I <3 this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!! i give it 8000000000000 stars if i could!!!.
