Track 09 - The Sweetest Victory - ROCKY IV (1985)

[hellyeah9311]

That is Robert Tepper? ?

[lilcoffeebandit]

...SWEDISH VICTORY!!!! :)

[MrEvol94]

Lol I feel like such a nerd because I love Rocky IV songs

[new0033]

why isn't this song in film???????

[2768Vids]

niceeee

[KyleKatarn789]

So fucking straight! Better then the shit today. 

[VerzGTPtm]

Absolutely LOVE the part from 3:00-3:15!!!

[mattyhasselhoff]

This song would have been PERFECT in my mind for the end credits to (THE BEST ROCKY FILM!) Rocky IV...

[rocksvids08]

What trips me out is that I've seen the Rocky IV thousands of times and this song NEVER appears!...I think it appeared towards the end of the credits, but am not sure...

[64Fabby]

@rocksvids08

This

I watched it just the other day and I'm trying to recall this song, as i have every time i've watched it, i recall every other song from Rocky IV; war, burning heart, hearts on fire etc but never seem to recall this :o

[rocksvids08]

@64Fabby Now that I remember, I think that it actually appears @ the very, very, very, VERY end (as the credits start to fade away)...Sucks, because it is a pretty good song and wood have totally fit in when he wins the match (instead of repeating "Hearts on Fire")…from one Rocky fan to another, Have A Good Day!...Peace...

[64Fabby]

@rocksvids08

fair enough, i rarely keep it on to the very end credits :P i think rocky IV was a case of too many good songs in one film, they should've kept one for Rocky V because i wouldnt replace hearts on fire, burning heart, training montage or no easy way out with this song despite its fittingness but hey. class song, and good day to you too :)

[rocksvids08]

@64Fabby I hear ya...but we're so accustomed to seeing the movie the way it is & with its current soundtrack in place, that we woodn't want it changed...However, "Sweetest Victory" (in my opinion) wood have totally fit in towards the end...And I don't watch 'till the end of the credits either, but that's how determined I was to locate this dam song in the movie...LOL!!!...I even turned up my speakers loud @ certain points to see if it appeared in the background subtlety or something...

[gowestfanatic007]

classic badass song

[doobdoob2]

This album might be able to cure disease

[alenazoran]

@JLC31383 another one has disliked this video- that would be Ivan Drago's corner man.

[lisca290375]

pezzzo indimenticabile

[jigoyawara]

but....in what part of the film was this song ? i cant remember this.

[juggernoud1]

@jigoyawara yeah met too!! I know this track from the score, but I don't know the part where it is played :S Does someone know this? Thanks!!

[MikeSluggo]

@juggernoud1 I saw this when it came out and I'm pretty sure they played this song during the credits with still shots from the movie.

[JLC31383]

@MikeSluggo They played "Hearts on Fire" by John Cafferty in the credits with the still pictures- I know because I own all five movies on DVD.

[69fasterpussycat]

that one commie bastard should delete his vote!!!

[ENEKAGYEPNEN]

1 person does not like victory....

[DARostiaya]

@ENEKAGYEPNEN could it be Ivan Drago?

[Keen8000]

Swedish victory!

Oh Swede victory!

[corymacnugget]

O sweet victory.....

[hazuken]

i trained for my first amateur exhbition to this song ill never forget when i won my first ever knockout this song rang through my head for weeks 5 stars thumbs up if this song is your workout song!

[firehotmex]

@hazuken definetlyyyyyyyy

[KyleKatarn789]

I miss President Ronald Reagan. This country has to get back on track and vote out our Communist President.

MITT ROMNEY 2012. Trust me...He looks like Reagan and can govern like Reagan.

[abdulski12]

The sweetest victory<3

[JLC31383]

I do not remember this song actually being in the movie "Rocky 4".

[WorldlyTyrant]

@JLC31383 yea it's a shame they never put it in...would be great if they play this at the very end of the movie after Rocky knocked Drago out.

[Jinsaero]

@WorldlyTyrant Yea... exactly or in outro

[Mustang1377]

I will rep the rocky songs while im training some of the best inspirational music out there

[henkarars]

the 80's, 90's music own's the music today.

[edwardrulz24]

This was my workout song, after being in a work accident that has left me with damage to my brain, neck, back, and shoulders. This song gives me hope of a better day, that maybe one day I can hit the speed bag again.

[stndrds79]

Sweet song!!

[5aintLink]

"The far-off stars will always shine!",such an inspirational song

[imrahil2006]

I wish I could know how the hack do I still remember that song, my father had the LP it was about twenty years ago!

I'm 27 years old now.

[gowestfanatic007]

played this one is our physical ed class quite possibly steve perrys best performance

[sinman33]

@gowestfanatic007 Except it isn't Steve Perry. Sounds a lot like him though. I thought so too when I first heard this song.

[SybilianShade]

This is absolutey a must when working out! The glory is mine!

[Supertron5000]

I only heard this for the first time two years ago but it'll be with me a lifetime!

[SpinDoctor91]

"hate and pain fill me up,every minute takes longer and longer,a bead of sweat comes drops of blood,make me stronger and stronger" my favirote part.

[stuh1975]

A bit of trivia (urban myth)... It is true fact that Touch were the first band to play at the legendary 'Monsters of Rock' festival at Donnington Park back in 1980 and I heard that during that performance the lead vocalist accidently swollowed a wasp...

I only read this...fact or fiction????

[leavittobeaver]

wtf its not in rocky 4 thnk god

[StayyFlyyMeg]

who sings this? ive been hearing it was by "Touch" even though i never heard of them. i downloaded it and it said it was by Survivor. then i've been hearing it was by j]Journey. can someone tell me if it was Touch, Survivor, or Journey?

[MackenzieKahne09]

@StayyFlyyMeg - the band is Survivor. The album is HIGH Enough i believe its a great cd. If you like these guys and Journey check out The STORM also. Great songs.

[gowestfanatic007]

NICE SONG STEVE PERRYS VOICE IS AWESOME JOURNEY DID GOOD ON THIS SONG

[JohnnyBxjbm13]

@gowestfanatic007

I don't know if you were joking or serious about the journey comment. Journey didn't record this song. It was "Touch".

[jimpriest]

this plays in my head whenever i complete a sudoko!

[djimpelr]

USA at the World Cup

[Dreaklock]

I wonder if this was supposed to be the original ending credits song? I don't know. I'm just glad he went ahead and used Hearts on Fire. That one is the best.

[CoHScrapper]

I love this song. I do believe there's 2 versions. At around 2:57 (my friend's soundtrack version, a saxaphone replaces the lead guitar) it's fucking awesome.

CHORUS

Sweetest victory; I love you more than life itself.

Sweetest victory; you give me strength to know myself.

Oh, sweet victory; my soul is yours and the glory is mine.

Sweetest victory; the far-off stars will always shine.

[maverikonline]

@CoHScrapper Your friend has the remastered version of the soundtrack which featured an alternate version of this track.

[ALEJANDRO7837]

goooooood timeeeeeeessss =)

[BrittMonkey]

I thought Rocky was American? Why are they all celebrating a Swedish Victory?

[StevieGreig1]

@BrittMonkey it's saying the sweetest victory as in the nicest victory and like always Rocky was the underdog against a russian boxer who was using steroids and stuff to get stronger and rocky was using old fashoined techniques and he managed to win it all

[BrittMonkey]

@StevieGreig1 I was kidding, I should've added a ;-) to my post, lol.

[StayyFlyyMeg]

@BrittMonkey lol. thats a first. :) its sweetest not swedish. thanks for the laugh!!

[salozmen29]

I always wondered why this song is on the soundtrack?

[jigoyawara]

rocky 4?

[TheThunder1977]

immer wieder geil:-))))))))

[4okoladen]

I grew up with movies like Rocky and Rambo, Sly you are the best ALWAYS !!

[burtonrules123]

this wasnt actually featured in the movie though.....its a pretty weak song compared to the songs that were in the movie.

also didnt spongebob do a spoof of this song?

[Quilbo]

@burtonrules123 a weak song?

did you hear the last 1:30 minutes??

O_O

[clunk99]

I assume it's not Steve Perry but who is it? He's got a great voice

[Juha71]

@clunk99

The band what sings this song is called Touch

[unclecracker555]

is it just me or does this sound like journey?

[beefroll99]

this song isnt in rocky 4, y is it in the soundtrack

[stuh1975]

I spent many years looking for Vince DiCola (Rocky IV, Transformers) stuff and finally found it, not much but I found some. As for Touch.. Did they do anything else???? I love this track and puzzled to think why there was nothing else by them but most puzzled by the fact this track was NOT in Rocky the forth???? yet credited at the end of the movie..

[Rock1Golem]

Hey I found another one

"Mr. T did not lose in Rocky. He let Rocky win for sake of dramatic effect. Shortly after the movie ended, he went to Rocky's house, stared at him, and grunted. This sent Rocky into a coma. "

P.S.You know what we need?Rocky fact jokes.

[Rock1Golem]

Look what I found

"Contrary to popular belief, Mr. T was not beat by Sylvester Stallone in Rocky III. He actually lost to Stallone's stuntman, Chuck Norris. It took 5 hours of work by a dozen makeup artists to make Chuck Norris ugly enough to be a believable Stallone. Even with Chuck Norris, it was still necessary to use 3 metric tons of animal traquilizers to knock Mr. T out long enough for a 10 count."

P.S. this song kicks ass.

[WorldlyTyrant]

I listen to this when I work out...never gets old.

The far-off stars will always shine...

[gregor4935]

Brother, your ears are way better than mine. Could you PLEASE post all the lyrics. I can't crack the code on some of them! THANKS!!!

[WorldlyTyrant]

Deepest cut that can be healed, by the gun or by the sword, It's hope that you can turn yourself, Outside at the end of the war. The cold sweat sticks to your heart, Your mouth gets drier and drier. The battle inside rages on, Your pulse races higher and higher. Sweetest victory, I love you more than life itself. Sweetest victory, you give me strength to know myself. Oh, sweet victory, my soul is yours and the glory is mine. Sweetest victory; the far-off stars will always shine. (cont'd)

[WorldlyTyrant]

The tooth-like nails rip me up,

I can make it disappear.

Time to forget has passed me by,

There's no place to hide my fear.

Hate and pain filled me up.

Every minute takes longer and longer.

I bead of sweat, cuz drops of blood (I'm not sure...)

Makes me stronger and stronger.

[gregor4935]

@WorldlyTyrant

Could it be:

A bead of sweat 'comes (shortened from "becomes") drops of blood..

[WorldlyTyrant]

I think you're right, that makes a lot more sense...anyways great song

[MrMusicLover900]

Thanks for the lyrics

[orangewizard]

@WorldlyTyrant Killer toon!!

[johncenaposse]

where can i get this soundtrack? this song is kickass!!

[WorldlyTyrant]

Oh, sweet victory; my soul is yours and the glory is mine.

Sweetest victory; the far-off stars will always shine...

[dave06121980]

is this survivor? the singers of burning heart and eye of the tiger?

[Juha71]

No, the band is called Touch, might be one of those one hit wonders of the 80´s

[porov]

great song! especially like the lyrics.

[FreezeHero71]

Its on the soundtrack but not the film

[Xblade93]

im downloading rocky right now... rocky 1 till rocky 6

[Requiembz]

enjoy the good times ahead lad

[KyleKatarn789]

This was from Rocky IV, but,"Sweetest Victory" never made the final edit when the film was made in 1985. It was omitted in the final version.

[MicheasTheMighty]

Are you sure this is from "Rocky 4"? I mean it's a kick-ass song, I just don't remember.

[Psycheout]

it's definitely in the soundtrack, but I don't think it's actually in the film.
