The performance and the song, absolutely stunning combination! Slowing down to listen to the lyrics and understanding them and how it relates, just really moves you.

As everyone else has said, thank you for uploading this. I've been looking for the song ever since I heard it but to get the chance to relive that moment of awe when I first saw it, was even better!

Nice to see others here found this part of Vancouver ceremonies as beautiful and soul-stirring as I did. I still search for this footage. Thanks for posting (sorry for many requests for version without subtitles :) but I would love to find such a version & without commentator voices). The Canada ceremonies had such 'coolness' about them, not typical host-country pageantry (or quasi-propoganda) of many games. This was beautiful, I must visit Canada, & performer was quite brave to fly so high :)

@Leviwosc I agree.

Absolutely amazing!

Also the young man, Thomas Saulgrain, was fabulous! The commentator on US TV

said he was discovered at a clown school a while before he was tapped to do the Olympics. They said his performance was so moving it brought the audience to tears. No wonder he was picked to do this.

I loved this part of the opening ceremony of the Olympics so much. I've kept the whole 4.5 hours on my TIVo since then only because of this since I couldn't find this presentation anywhere right after the Olympics. I replayed it tonight and I caught the name of it, googled and found your wonderful video. It is so moving and beautiful especially with Joni Mitchell's singing Both Sides Now. Thank you so much!

I remember watching the Vancouver opening ceremony when the upcoming artistical representation of Saskatchewan was announced. I immediately recognized the music and started crying. Hearing Joni, my favorite singer, and remembering the evenings I sat together with my late sister listening to Joni's music, it was just too much too beautiful. What an incredible performance! Thank you Vancouver for connecting Joni with Saskatchewan. Thank you for posting this film and reviving the memory.

Thank you for posting this; I was afraid I'd never see it again, and when I saw it on TV the first time, I thought it was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen.
