Unparalleled rendition of the legendary composition

Enjoyed her rendition of chariots of fire. For those who don’t know she also sings the national anthem for the England rugby union team at international matches. She herself plays rugby as a fullback on the Rosslyn Park women’s team, which won her the nickname “Scrummy Soprano.”

It usually doesn't have any words. There are actually several sets of lyrics for this. The words were added much later. There are probably 100 sets of words written by different lyricists.

Instrumental and vocal version of this track were written simultaneously in 1981. Original song has even 2 versions - english and french, both sung by Demis Roussos. In 2012 the track was remade on the occasion of Summer Olympic Games in England. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4atZ6qKj92Jotk

Same here, and it's my favorite music collection of all times. The entire CD is magnificent, as well as the movie, and the documentary that eventually found it's way on the internet to cover his greatest race which was not portrayed in the film, but in a Japanese Concentration camp. When Erik died, I'm sure there were Japanese soldiers weeping... His entire life was the embodiment of God's love towards one another, and the conquering and subdue of the flesh by the spirit.

There are music that is needed to put a lyrics BUT it is depends on whose singer gonna sing it? There is one Filipina singer who once been a teen idol in the early 80's who became a Christian and recorded this song. I am too fuzzy too in music as I am a singer too and it's quite seldom for me to agree with the syncronization of melody and voice tone and this Filipina singer had sang that song in beautiful syncronization unfortunately her version couldn't been found in youtube. Her name is Gigi Villa

There is but one freedom Man running along Each step that he's taking's A step to his soul The passion and courage It takes to be there The spirit of freedom Alive in the air Whenever the running man awakes To challenge the glory He knows that he can turn the key To unlock the soul Let no man surround himself with pain But use it to free him The game is to learn to live again To try to the end The way becomes clearer The way is complete The need that of winning Admits no defeat The circles together Hold hands to the sky The freedom of running The freedom to try Race to the end....

Before they came up with these words to the musical piece, I'm surprised people didn't recognize that you can sing "On Top Of Old Smokey" or more currently "On Top Of Spaghetti" to it. I've always wondered if Vangelis actually copied it but can't find any reference connecting the two.
