he captures the heart and soul of human's emotional being, with inspirational songs like this. when someone was thinking of music for a "race to the end" scene in a movie, vangelis' chariots of fire was exactly wut they wanted. his music is universal for an person.
He's 'scoring' the movie "Chariots of Fire". I heard him say that he doesn't think before he begins a song so makes it up as he goes along. He's making up the song as he watches the movie he's making the song for.
Vangelis is playing a Yamaha CS-80 with his left hand then the Korg PS-3300 with the right. Above the CS-80 is an ARP 2500. I think he was showing off his favorite (and most expensive) synths here.
So does living in this world my friend... Rather burn bright and lighten up some of the world, than quietly smolder down into ashes. that's how i see it.
Love this - my god im hooked on it. mum has the album.. its always track 3 with me!! lol. lovely usic - vangelis is such a legend. [btw im only 12] so its weird 4 me 2 like this typa music!! lol
Check out the synthesizers, was it a Jupiter 8 I saw, and was the other one a Moog or a Juno? Loved this song since I first heard it in 85' when my aunt bought the record. I've been a music junkie since a kid thanks to songs like these. When Xmas come around, this song brings out the holiday spirit.
joder cuanto tiempo buscando esta cancion se me pone los pelos de punta me gusta mucho esta tenia que ser el himno de los juegos olimpicos no la chufa que se me estava descargando
Vangelis is the sound track to so many great movies, and he is part of their greatness.
i want to dedicate this melody to everyone that is fighting against something hard...thanks for uploading these beautiful scenes.
I love Vangelis, amazing, wonderful ❤❤ will never forget this wonderful man

This song... reminds me of good ol' Terry Fox, running for cancer.
(Gives a thumb up)
Go Terry!
chariots of Fire.. one of the oscar award movie of 1981
He is such a purist and so true to the world of music, he is just pure genius, makes music today seem like garbage.

This song is different from most others. thats what makes it good not to meantion a lovley sound. good enough for my funeral
Vangelis genius creativity is comparable only with Beethoven and Mozart ones.
