Vangelis may have passed on, but his music never will. This is so beautiful

[@nostalgos1546]

Such a beautiful piece of music from a Greek 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷legend RIP Vangelis Papathanasiou

[@cal1001970]

Thought he was English. AMAZING

[@bobinscotland]

@@cal1001970 I listened to Vangelis in the sixties with Demis Roussos in their band APHRODITE'S CHILD... and right through to his work with Jon Anderson of YES. Beautiful feelings from his music.

[@APPdiscographer]

You mean *Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou* ... I mean if you're gonna go, go all the way. 🙂

This song is often used in comedies for slow motion but listening to it like this reminds me that it's a powerful and uplifting song to be taken seriously.

Those comedies are just parodying the serious movie.

[@martinquerre9614]

A song would imply lyrics recorded together with music. This crafty piece of music has no lyrics and therefore it would be more accurate to call it either a tune or a melody

it makes me cry. The song was sung at my wedding. That was overwhelming. Unfortunately my wife passed away after just 3 days. I still haven't gotten over it even though it's been 5 years. I've never loved anyone like she did. I normally can't listen to the song anymore, but I made an exception and everything came back.😪💔

[@GlennGuillorySFO]

I am 80 ans hâve had my spine fused into one rigid frame, 20 screws and a structure of titanium like a little EIFEL Tower in my body securing my nervous chord in place, and too many things have disappeared into the swamp of these pains and lost youth…lost little me lost in a world I never imagined could exist…so, i listened to this and a ran along the sea washing upon the beach, naked in the moonlight the wind blowing sand into my face and chest and legs and making me totally alive-just by listening to this one time I am transported to a magnificent moonlight beach in a wind like a storm but blowing vigor and hope and lovely love feelings, and transported into a realm like prayer answered, my angels come home and visit with me, and I think i am healed by this music!! How wonderful it is. And how much I loved it. I did not ever wish for it to end.

What a beautiful instrument. It is amazing what they do with these keyboards and organs. My keyboard has a full orchestra also and other features on it but this one tops it all. The artists playing this piece is also brilliant

For me it's college days. It was such an awesome feeling.

[@gookumpucky4842]

For me it was the mighty wurlitzer.

[@kairi8882]

its simply a synth

[@nailman5949]

@BodyBeats242 Agreed. Most professional keyboards can range between 1,000-20,000 USD, some going up to 100,000. For only 40,000 EUR this is essentially multiple organs and a high end pc put into one.

[@stephanbrunker]

@@nailman5949 But .. if it is shaped as an organ with three keyboards, why doesn't it have a pedal as well? That doesn't make much sense. You can play insane bass lines on a pedal, look up Barbara Dennerlein ...

[@MrMJJFAN1]

Holy crap i remember this being played as we went into assembly when we went into the big hall when i was about 6 years old, im 39 now and it still hits me, such an iconic piece of music.

[@MooN-wm2oy]

If I hadn't watched the video I would have sworn this lovely masterpiece was performed by a whole orchestra and could never be done by one person but with your brilliant talent and this wonderful nextgen synthesizer you made it possible.

[@user-gu5kk7wr5q]

That is one of the features of a Wersi electronic Organ they even build into the design of each instrument voice, be wind or string that unique sound of wind or string vibration. I built a Wersi Helios for an old friend way back in 1980 and is still in use to this day. It gave me such an insight to the working of the organ itself complete with its 32 channel computer registration memory and auto accompaniment.

[@thiesenf]

Vangelis WAS a whole orchestra... though he used alot of MIDI controllers to control all the synths he used... He couldn't read/write in the standard music notations... which meant he had others listening to it and try to transcribe what they heard...

[@Queensburyheights]

Wow and Wow again. I could listen to this forever. Absolute magic.

[@santhoshnetto2584]

This is the greatest Olympic anthem of all times.Rewarding musical sounds for champions world wide.

Iirc it was firstly feom an australian film about ww1, an athlete who got a job as a message runner in that war. The film ends to this music as he and his mates get called to go over the top and charge ... so, you know just how that ends up. In horrifying, slow, gruesome motion and because of the music you THINK he's goona make it, amd then reality hits. Like the machine gun bursts you see cutting him and his mates down.
