Its a real shame that she never got big. The songs sung by her in the series and especially this one are not half-bad, very ABBA or even Laura Branigan-esque, and very 80s that nowadays would garner a lot of nostalgia and renewed popularity
I am a subscriber to Amazon Prime, I know that the Thunderbirds CGI remake is available on Amazon Prime, but I haven't seen Terrahawks. Is that series only available on Amazon Prime UK?
2:00 - best bit! I looooved that track that Stu had on in his car in 'Cry UFO', and it was derived from this solo! I'd love to hear the full version of it, but alas, its not on the official OST i bought 😕
I'd really like to have a CD of all of Moya Griffiths Terrahawks' Songs. She was brilliant, with great, catchy songs of the 80's style. This is a perfect example, SOS.
As a child I used to love the Terrahawks. This is easily the best song from the series. I wish they would produce an up to date version of this track. I think it would make an awesome dance hit. ❤❤❤❤❤
Never really got the lyrics on the first run of the series back in the day, but when I rewatched the series on Tubi, it totally hit me what the song was about. Of course I watched the other series, fully, and figured out the song was about the fictional international rescue team from the series Thunderbirds. A lot of reading this probably think I'm pretty thick for not getting it earlier and you'd be totally right. As a kid I didn't really pay attention to the music and tuned in for the action. Now as an adult I totally love it.
The human race is in despair One man alive can take us there. SOS, Mr Tracy the western world is falling. SOS, International Rescue hear us calling. ...Irony, eh?
Nice of them to acknowledge International Rescue and Thunderbirds. Wish there was a cross over episode where Terrahawk met International Rescue along with WASP and Spectrum
This song really gets the heart pumping. Such a great show, Terrahawks was. And of course, the others from the fellows at Anderson studios and obviously Gerry and Sylvia themselves : )
Terrahawks is my second favourite Gerry Anderson show (after Thunderbirds of course) simply because of the great soundtrack and acting. GREAT show. Purchasing the complete series on DVD soon.
I used to watch the Terrahawks intro and see that vector game and think wow! If only games really looked like that, and now they do! Someone needs to actually make that mockup game for real now using Unity. LoL :D
Never seen this before! It's a really nice tribute! I like it's fun approach and lots of attention to detail. Keeping the flavour of the original TV show.
I've heard that in the mid 1980s Gerry Anderson was planning to follow up Terrahawks with a remake of Thunderbirds called T-Force but couldn't get the funding for it. I think that the real life purpose of this song was to forshadow T-Force by heavily implying that the Tracy brothers and International Rescue also existed in the Terrahawks universe.
Fun fact: He was actually GOING to make a remake of Thunderbirds, but for some reason he changed his mind or was forced to come up with a new show (I can't remember, which, and if it's the latter, I can't remember why either) and so he made "Terrahawks" instead. Of course the shows themselves don't have anything to do with eachother except for their 'art style' for lack of a better term + that they filmed it with puppets, and how advanced technology is in the two series, but you can clearly see the similarities with the name "Thunder/Terra" "Birds/Hawks" you know what I mean?
@@tracytron7162 IIRC the Gerry Anderson shows are in some loose connected universe but Ive got no idea of how this would fit into the timeline as the song refers to International Rescue and this series is meant to be around 2020 and I think Thunderbirds is set around 2067. Im sure an Anderson expert will set things straight
I know this song is from Terrahawks, but I get the impression it was originally about the Thunderbirds. The references to “Mr. Tracy” and “International Rescue”. Those are all from Thunderbirds.
I'd like for all of Kate Kestrel's songs from Terrahawks to be released on CD. I'm sure Richard Harvey, Lionel Robinson, and Christopher Burr have all the songs Moya Griffiths recorded for the series somewhere. Is that possible to make an album of every single song Kate Kestrel sings in the series?
Same here! I hope it happens soon. Uncut, full length versions of each song on CD. I wonder though, if she was only meant to create short song clips for the show Terrahawks and not full songs in some instances. What ever happened to Moya Griffiths? I'd like to see an interview.
@@richallenxbox1976 Now why did you have to go and spoil a great post, with wasting energy, hating on today's youth, and *Justin Bieber,* in particular?

So in 2020 Zelda invades Mars in an attempt to use to invade Earth. Terrahawks must eventually defeat her. Only for the Mysterons to appear on Mars in 2068. And now SPECTRUM has to deal with another threat with a similar ability to manipulate matter.
sadly no, no records of it on officialcharts.com ... and i hope that this goes back on here in full screen AND in HD, so i can play it many more times like i did when i fund it a few years ago because it is an OUTSTANDING SONG, outwith it even being a song from the show
That's exactly what my wife said ! I agree - it could have been equally successful either back then or if it were entered today. I suppose we can but live in hope that someone at the BBC will see the light in time for next year.
THUNDERBIRDS 2086, the updated Japanese cartoon show, ran on Prism back in the early 80s. A friend at work had Prism, I didn't, so every 2 weeks I'd loan him a tape and he'd grab it for me, bring it to work, I'd watch it, then give him the tape back and he'd get the next episode. This went on until I had the entire series! Still blows my mind we managed to do that. TERRAHAWKS I taped myself... it ran here on a local channel at 7:30 AM on Saturdays. Even when I was a kid, that was WAY TOO EARLY on my day off from work. Also, they ran the show out of sequence, and I spent years trying to figure out what order the episodes would make the most sense in.
Wait a minute, what does the Jeep have to do with international rescue 🛟 there technology is far more advanced then that, plus was there even a Terrahawks/Thunderbirds crossover episode cause that wouldn’t be hard to miss.
And so ends another Terrahawks day, 10 10 everyone.
Its a real shame that she never got big. The songs sung by her in the series and especially this one are not half-bad, very ABBA or even Laura Branigan-esque, and very 80s that nowadays would garner a lot of nostalgia and renewed popularity
I would go so far as say the songs are better than Abbas latest offerings on Voyager
This one song is by Lionel Robinson
Terrorhawks and Thunderbirds same Universe !! Always remember this as the first crossover between Shows.
It's great to hear the entire song! I've only heard it on my "Terrahawks" DVD set. Now it'll be stuck in my head all day... 😆❤
Im young and just found this.... WHY WHY WHY did this thing not take off? I promise I will keep this alive, give it to my kids when I have them haha
This is so 80s it hurts.
The 80s were a time we will never get back
Is she doing a Thunderbirds/Terrahawks crossover?
@@kalaong yes.
Pure class era💎🎼🎶🎵🎹😇😍
Dont worry, I shall keep this going into our new times. I am linking it to everyone I know. It shall live on
Love this. I'm watching Terrahawks on Amazon Prime. Takes me back to being a kid again. Stu Apples was really cute lol

@@WalterDWormack214 it's on uk version of prime
@@WalterDWormack214 they're also making a CGI remake of Terrahawks
@@GuineaPigEveryday That will suck, and have none of the charm of the original, which will be 40 next year.

Lovely woman Moya griffiths
I tried to look up moya griffiths on Facebook. One black lady looked likelier but might not have been her
BlackArro Cartoons sadly only 2 full songs survive and half of another. As much as I’d love the rest to appear at some point.
If one good thing came out of Terrahawks, it would be Kate Kestrel and her music
As a child I used to love the Terrahawks. This is easily the best song from the series. I wish they would produce an up to date version of this track. I think it would make an awesome dance hit. ❤❤❤❤❤
A great song, would win a eurovision
Lionel Robinson should have got more credit for this
I have this on 7" single ......... awesome tune ...... and awesome in Midnight Blue!
this song hits differently in 2021, as if a warning
Even more so October 2022!
first heard this song back in 2016 and felt an impending doom
No.
This aged well
Especially hits differently in October 2024 🛸🌍🤖💣💥🚀🌅

I’m the same but I’m a lot younger than you I heard this when I first watched it then now I know
Yeah, the contrast is amazing. The song’s instrumentation is so upbeat and poppy, but the lyrics are about disasters and nuclear war. On,y in the 80s.
It's a pity we never got a proper crossover between Terrahawks and Thunderbirds.
The human race is in despair
One man alive can take us there.
SOS, Mr Tracy the western world is falling.
SOS, International Rescue hear us calling.
...Irony, eh?
Nice of them to acknowledge International Rescue and Thunderbirds. Wish there was a cross over episode where Terrahawk met International Rescue along with WASP and Spectrum
what is that episode?
@@redengine4433 no unfortunately but would have been brilliant. Would have been hilarious to see The Hood and Titan Zelda etc have arguments too 🤣

Agreed a great tune, uplifting words and a call to action
Lionel Robinson should get more credit for this song 👍👍
This is absolutely wonderful. I’m hooked!
Ooww yess... I remember this song in Terrahawks... Those were the good old days ❤❤.. I truly miss the 80s when I was kid
What a great Catchy tune and song.
It's by Lionel Robinson, he should get a lot more credit for it
@louisemannigel2733 Absolutely right. This.song makes me want to get out there and do my bit for King and Country.
Lionel Robinson, you rock. This song is brilliant. You don't get the *credit* you deserve!!
Thanks for uploading this Jamie!
Terrahawks is my second favourite Gerry Anderson show (after Thunderbirds of course) simply because of the great soundtrack and acting. GREAT show. Purchasing the complete series on DVD soon.
I heard this a few times in the Gay Village, Manchester back in the day!
This is from Terrahawks but it's all about Thunderbirds, a completely different Anderson show? Anyway, it's a great song
Its performed by an in-universe character in Terrahawks. idk if its meant to be that the Thunderbirds are real or just a show like in real life
Great song. I wish all of Kate's songs were on CD.
Dalek Sram That would be awesome!
Agreed to CD.

Love it. This got me so into Terrahawks
Just fantastic.
One of my favourite characters from terra hawks.
Oh how I miss the 80's.
Better than the ABBA song with the same name!
I love Moya ❤️
I want to see Moya❤️
what is she doing now?
Classic and lovely. nice to put a face behind the song. Love it.

Oh Stu, playing the sax while your studio burns down!

why no one done Thunderbirds music video with this song?
Can't get much more cheesy early 80's pop than this.
I know this song is from Terrahawks, but I get the impression it was originally about the Thunderbirds. The references to “Mr. Tracy” and “International Rescue”. Those are all from Thunderbirds.

it's reference international rescue which is from the "thunderbirds" show and even mentions jeff tracy. My question is why is it an terrahawk song.

And as the final day begins
I make a fist of whitend finger still the felling goes
I never felt so much alone
I face a destiny unknowen
The human race is in despair
One man alive can take us there
CHORUS
S.O.S Mr Tracy the western world is falling
S.O.S International Rescue hear Calling
S.O.S
I turn my face upto the sky
I feel a world of presure building up inside of me
As if in answer to my cry
I hear the crash of thunder and the Tracy symthony
The lights are out in London Town
Communication breaking down
And if the creature dos'nt kill
Be sure the radiation will
CHORUS
S.O.S Mr Tracy the western world is falling

Heard it on KDVS Davis!!
I re member this song from th terra hawks I was 12 ? 13 May been ❤😊
What's happening Stu?😇💎🎼😍🎹🎵🎶
This is suppose to be based on Terrahawks but it feels like it's about Thunderbirds?
Yep! In fact Kate is really a fan of International Rescue!!
2:01 Better than epic sax guy for sure!
Great song, shame Kate Kestrel's career didn't take off, would've been a nice money spinner side-hustle in addition to Terrahawks revenue.
I think they got the kestrel name from the Harrier prototype
Most of the Terrahawks (with the exception of Tiger and Hiro) had bird-of-prey derived names. Falconer, Hawkeye, Kestrel.
hell yeah
Very vibrant hair.
Awesome 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😁💕
Not bad, actually. I wish this would have been released in the USA.

"If the creature doesn't kill, then the radiation will!" Yes, nice piece of 1980's politics in the mix there
Does ANYONE know what happened to the .mp3 download track of this song?
I lost the download I had! I am really, REALLY, DESPERATE to GET IT BACK!
Just convert this to Mp3.
Legendary sax solo by Stu Dapples 🤣
The only thing missing from this video is Yuri the furry Napoleon dancing in the background.
Should've have included clips from Thunderbirds in this music video
memory is a funny thing, listening to this I realize I had misheard the lyrics to this song my whole life
What did you think the lyrics were?
pity this was not used as the ending theme to the original series.
What's happening Stu ?
Oh yah... er... Right, yah!
