Reach - Gloria Estefan @ Atlanta 1996 Closing Ceremony | Music Monday

[@dutchbear155]

Still gives me goosebumps in 2023

That song gives me the same feeling, despite the years that have passed.

[@kimbrown7090]

This song has lived rent free in my head since 1996. It's now 2024 and I still get the same chills that I did that night.

[@TStadiumhopper]

Atlanta 96 has the best Olympic songs ever!

[@Abyzechnassetrok]

It's only from Gloria Stefan

[@jvitor.csantos]

I think no song will ever overcome that.

[@p3t3ral3x]

2022 and still gets me chills listening to Ms. Gloria Estefan. She wrote the song in 15 minutes. Diane Warren suggested the tittle Reach for an Olympic song, so Gloria did the lyrics based on the rehab what she went through after her nearly fatal crush bus accident

[@ECV1899Colossal]

Esta música deveria ser oficialmente declarada o Hino de TODAS as Olimpíadas realizadas a partir de 1996, não ouvi até hoje um tema olímpico tão lindo quanto este

[@Najain]

Eu posso concorda com vc. É mto lindo mesmo ❤ lad gaga foi uma vergonha

[@raquelmarques5883]

Concordo. E tão linda como esta também temos Freddie Mercury e Montserrat Caballé - How Can I Go On , Vangelis - Chariots Of Fire e Sarah Brightman e Jose Carreras - Amigos Para Sempre.

[@ECV1899Colossal]

@@raquelmarques5883 boas menções, principalmente a de Barcelona-92
Mas Vangelis acho que foi feita para a trilha sonora do filme somente, não é não ? Como o filme tinha um tema esportivo, ficou associada principalmente a competições de atletismo (assim como Going Fly Now de Rocky um Lutador ficou vinculada ao boxe, mesmo sendo a história de um atleta não real )

[@raquelmarques5883]

@@ECV1899Colossal é possível sim, viu? Vi uma informação no Google, mas internet é terra sem lei..Lembro de uma apresentação na escola em 1988. Era pequena nesta época...fiquei enquantada com as dançarinas e os arcos das Olimpíadas.

[@ECV1899Colossal]

@@raquelmarques5883 pode verificar, a música do Vangelis foi tema do filme Carruagens de Fogo de 1981, a cena que se tornou clássica de uma equipe correndo na praia a beira-mar e o tema instrumental ao fundo.
Até foi referenciada pelo Mr. Bean em uma cena hilária na cerimônia de abertura de Londres-2012, mas acredito que oficialmente a música nunca foi tema de nenhuma Olimpíada, ficou associada ao filme e depois ao espírito de competição, assim como a música do Rocky ultrapassou o filme e passou a servir até para motivar alguém que se dispõe a praticar exercícios físicos ainda que não seja o boxe

[@TANDAZJO]

More than 20 years and still the best Olympic Song Ever!!!!

Definitely... And only Gloria could do it justice.

[@TheVeganBelly]

The Morehouse College choir in the background gave me chills. To feel the power of their voices intensified to the heavens, put on a headphone. I can only imagine just how electrifying an experience was for those who were lucky enough to be there.
Kudos to Gloria and Diane Warren for creating such an iconic and timeless masterpiece.

[@ptftf1126]

"Reach" works great as a song for sports and for everyday life. I'm undergoing rehab now and find this inspiring. Then I remember that Gloria herself had much more serious injuries six years before this performance. That gives me more hope and patience with my own rehab.

[@srw6932]

This song always brings me to tears ever since it came out. I wish you well in your recovery. You can do this

[@jliuatl]

Between Celine's Power of the Dream in the opening and Gloria's Reach in the closing, those are just two great themes for the same Olympics.

[@FutureCommentary1]

I came here from One Moment in Time.

One of those special moments that I was all too happy to experience as it was televised in real time. This performance was spectacular. Gloria was the epitome of everything that the host country should be. The drum finale was absolutely hair-raising.

[@CaptainPond]

I love Gloria and I hate to tell you, but this is a playback performance 😓

[@mylesgarcia4625]

@@CaptainPond Most musical "renditions" at open-air Olympic and similar ceremonies are "lip-synched" because of the acoustics of the large and open-air stadia. It is an industry standard and nothing new. The people who pay high ticket prices get a better balanced audio with the pre-recorded performances.

[@barpal7804]

Wow I so wished to be there but I lived 8000km away in Hungary. This was my favourite games, the last ai actually enjoyed.

[@MrLuis85698]

Some dreams live on in time forever
Those dreams, you want with all
Your heart
And I'll do whatever it takes
Follow through with the promise I made
Put it all on the line
What I hoped for at last would be mine
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment
In my life
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my
Very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach
Some days are meant to be
Remembered
Those days we rise above
The stars
So I'll go the distance
This time
Seeing more the higher I climb
That the more I believe
All the more that this
Dream will be mine
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch
The sky
From that one moment in
My life
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my
Very best

If I could reach
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch

I'm gonna be so much stronger
Yes I am
I put my spirit to the test
If I could reach, higher
If I could, if I could
If I could reach
Reach, I'd reach, I'd reach
I'd reach, I'd reach so
Much higher
Be stronger
