  • Why are people complaining about the 80s sound and the rock singing? One of the reasons why Chess is so popular these days is because it cleverly combines different vocal and instrumental styles!

    Personally my favourite song, along side Pity the 'Singer' and Anthem :D thanks for putting up

  • You are all moaning about it, but i bet you all wish you had written it.. i'm just going to put that out there..It made millions. End

see all

  • Totally love the choral quality offset with a little bit of pop. I really think the lines between the two 'genres'(???) should have been mixed and blended more than they have- seems like an age or class division, when it should not be- good music is good music period, If i can enjoy some country music and opera, then most people probably could enjoy more variety, I'm kind of a cranky old buzzard when it comes to the music i'll listen to. This was good decades ago and still is.

  • When I was about 9 I knew all the words to these songs. Thank you for posting this so I can reintroduce myself to the wonders of Chess! :D

  • I love how just after 1:40 other musicals are referenced...in a musical. Of course you feel like you're in a musical. Because. Its. A. Musical.

    Personally I like The Arbiter better, but this is up there for sure.

  • this is a superb opening song donizetti would have been proud of this

  • My school is putting on this show, and the choir (which I am in) gets to sing this song, among a few other ones. I'm so excited!

  • I love that transition at 3:40

  • @Asusgen I so agree! After all, the play is set in the 80's, in a very specific moment in time (near the end of the Cold War). I think the fact that the 80s-style music is part of the score really helps to situate the play in the right setting and time.

  • cca 10 years ago we sang this in choir. I really liked it, but I didnť know that it is from Chess.

  • @GlamourDutchess This is the first song in the concept album. The Game of Chess wasn't put in until it made it to Broadway. Since this is the concept album and not the OBC, The Game of Chess isn't in it.

  • all I have to say is thank you.
