Chris Blem | "Go The Distance" | Disney's Hercules

[@lewisedmundscomposer]

"I will search the world, I will face it's harms" - that lyric destroys me! Beautiful.

[@roughtobebufftv5990]

Most underrated Disney song of all time

[@SmokeOnTheWater108]

I agree. Brings tears to me eyes every time I hear it. This movie sparked my love of Greco/Roman mythology as a kid

[@tommynguyen3391]

Agree, should have been there on top of any Disney songs' list. One of the best OST.

[@glennbertcabunilas8587]

This song is one of my favorite....I love it....

[@herlando4988]

Cant agree more!

[@johndavidson3600]

Agreed

[@ubich1]

Christmas season 2024: This is still amazing, Chris!

[@solidwegy61]

At 2:24, this guy was holding back the tears. He truly gets the emotions of the song!

[@DeadDylan]

he obviously liked hercules when he was a kid lol

[@JF098]

Never really paid any attention to the lyrics until now... They're absolutely beautiful.

[@alax1756]

Zeus be mad with you bro

[@alax1756]

And jupiter

[@Impericalevidence]

Powerful stuff indeed. The whole movie had a "gospel" theme to it, gospel being a Greek word. However this song can be said to be a Christian anthem, for the rewards are in the next world. Paul's metaphor of the marathon with a crown intended for those who can persist.

[@aaronwalsh8469]

Got played a lot on the radio after 9/11. That and Seek and Destroy by Metallica.

[@beatrizf9563]

I have often dreamed of a far off place Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me Where the crowds would cheer, when they see my face And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be I'll be there someday, I can go the distance I will find my way if I can be strong I know every mile would be worth my while When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong Down an unknown road to embrace my fate Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you And a thousand years would be worth the wait It might take a lifetime but somehow I'll see it through And I won't look back, I can go the distance And I'll stay on track, no I won't accept defeat It's an uphill slope But I won't loose hope, 'till I go the distance And my journey is complete, oh yeah But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part For a hero's strength is measured by his heart, oh Like a shooting star, I will go the distance I will search the world, I will face its harms I don't care how far, I can go the distance 'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms I will search the world, I will face its harms 'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms

[@briant1111]

Give this man and orchestra a medal!

[@joalexsg9741]

Beautiful voice, heartfelt interpretation, thank you so much for this!

[@caitlinbell08]

This is the most beautiful version of this song I have ever heard. OG 90s kids need to hear this.

[@user-sq9fg8tp9x]

👏👏👏😹😹ステキです😌💓私、英語全く分からないんですけどヘラクレスの想いが彼に宿ってますね🤩泣きそうになります😢

[@princepeterwolf]

By FAR the greatest performance I have EVER heard of this song EVER

[@capn404]

princepeterwolf YES!

[@Maisara_br]

I like michael’s performance a lot actually

[@jhawkk2004]

I was about to suggest going to listen to Michael Bolton's version...probably in my top 10 songs of all time

[@atolm1]

Actually Michael Bolton's live version is every bit as good if not better. But Lea Salonga's live version is the best IMO.

[@vivianpeitzsch4606]

Try Anthony Calea's version from Special Olympics 2013 - that is the best

[@lenciciocityscapeart4954]

I've heard many versions of this, but Chris is vocally and emotionally far above all the others. He tells the story with his heart, the voice rides on that melody, and takes you on that journey that we are all traveling on to get home.

[@pianodoir]

Wonderful vocals and emotional connection - and the orchestral sound is perfect!

[@tumisanggololo5671]

I wish I had played this song for my dad during his funeral. He was a great man. He played such an important role in his community, in his family, in my life. On his death bed when I visited him at the hospital. I asked him how he was and he said I'm up there with the best. I'm literally sitting alone in the dark crying. Missing him.

[@cinderella458]

His voice is UNREAL !!!! Stunning 😍😍

[@katielemmon2581]

He put his heart in this song all you have to do is truly lesson anfpd you can here it. Beautiful simply beautiful.

[@iposttvshows]

WOW, what an incredible voice and a truly moving performance. I have chills listening to this young man. I predict it won't be long before we hear more about and from Chris Blem.

[@15nate]

Absolutely incredible rendition!!!! The best I’ve ever heard of this song 👏🏻👏🏻 Please never give up and keep pursuing your passion, you are truly remarkable!

[@iangrant3615]

I keep returning to this version. Chris, I think this is the best performance I've heard and seen of this song by any male singer. Thank you for sharing it!

[@jeciel85]

Such a passionate performance.

[@京都行く]

表情、歌声全部好きです

[@いづみ-h4w]

最高すぎる😭感動です😭✨

[@KingofVipers93]

I honestly wanted to cry by listening to this song it gives me hope and motivation to get up in the morning

[@marcotizzano77]

That's the best performace of this song that I have ever listened to in my life. Simply amazing. Very well done!!! Love it.

[@MrPokesmot32]

Chris, this is literally the best vocal cover of this song on the net and possibly the world. I love the subtle tone of your voice. I wish I had your gift. Keep pushing man. God, it would be so cool to have your capabilities and a whole orchestra behind me

[@neft16]

I am afraid there is nothing subtle about this.

[@鈴香-j2q]

最高です✨ 初めてディズニーオンクラッシックで聞いてから、あなたの声や表現が大好きです✨

[@AJay-hp7oe]

Best cover version I have ever fucking heard. Amazing amazing amazing ! The emotion/meaning of this song is being conveyed wondefully

[@madzdiscovery9228]

Your high notes at 3:00 to 3:09 are SO LEGENDARY!!! I can literally replay it for minutes!

[@chayanitphutthanu9775]

I love this song very much. Thank you for the best performance.

[@HumbleHustler4Christ]

Such emphasis at the ending. Which is the most important. How slowed the of a loner who went through many unimaginable struggles just to be loved. That's a true hero, if you ever realize his or her's REAL LIFE STORY...

[@dannycastaneda542]

My favorite version ever 🥰 Love it!

[@robertclark6039]

Wow!!!! This is gives me the chills. Stellar performance and just such a wonderful voice. Keep up the amazing talents you have been given!
