A moment of silence for those who are still searching for this song..... 😉

I FINALLY FOUND THE NAME OF THIS SONG, MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE!

Reminds me of 'Main teri hu janam' from the Bollywood film "Khoon Bhari Maang"❤.. Watching in Pune on 23/5/2024

My Dad loved this song R.I.P Dad

RIP Vangelis Papathanassiou. Thank you for the epic themes, soundtracks and visionary music you shared with the world, they will be eternal.

This song sounds like the feeling you feel when you finally find this song.

The musician is gone, but the music remains eternal.

The unofficial anthem of the Olympic Games. Without a doubt.

I like how he takes a fat drag off his cigarette before playing an inspirational song about running.

RIP. One of the most stunning pieces ever made

C'est probablement un ange venu du ciel qui lui a communiqué ces notes musicales

If you are still listening to this music you are a legend

The fact he's smoking a cigarette whilst playing a song associated with training and the Olympics is something we will never get back again.

I found this song by typing "song used when someone runs in slow motion"

the fact that this was supposed to be in ii is mindblowing

Vangelis didn't just do movie soundtracks, he did life soundtracks.

Rest in Peace Maestro.

Welcome to the "found this song" club

Anyone April 2024 ?

The true olympic Spirit is in this absolute mastepiece❤

THIS SHOULD BE THE OFFICIAL THEME OF OLYMPICS EVERY YEAR!

Farewell to one of the greatest composers. Vangelis Papathanasiou!

You may think you’re cool but you will never be as cool as Vangelis smoking a cigarette after playing the first two notes of this masterpiece👍🏼

My dad died when I was 12, in 1988, he was 36. I don't remember many of the things he liked, but I clearly recall that he loved this theme. I miss you dad, thanks Vangelis for your art!

Dear Vangelis, I just want to let you know, whenever your soul may be ascending to, is similar to what you left to us in this world. The burning tears that I had for my late father who passed away on January 12, 2020 is the very same as of May 17, 2022. I believe many also felt the same. You spoke of love, courage, sympathy, greatness and hope like no one else could. When it was and will be difficult, you were the father; friend; light; closer to God and to nature itself for every single heart that listened to you. And for that, I really do hope that heavens exist so we/I can thank you there. All that is left is to carry the blissful smile in honor of your existence that happened once in a lifetime. May your spirit of sound never rest and echo for eternities.

RIP Vangelis, what a GENIUS

"I believe God made me for a purpose, but He also made me fast. And when I run, I feel His pleasure." -Eric Liddell

Knowing the name of this song feels like you’ve unlocked all the secrets of the world

The real olympic theme song of the world

Rest in peace, Vangelis! One of the most influential composers who ever lived. May your memory be eternal!

A very sad day for a truly original and most talented of musicians ,the world will miss this great man,R.I.P

When my son graduated basic training in the Air Force, they come running up in formation at the break of dawn to this song blasting on the arena loud speakers…proudest moment of my life to see my little boy transformed into a warrior. Still gives me goosebumps when I type this out

Chills every time. One of the best soundtracks ever. Thank you Vangelis ❤

- In memory of Maestro.... Vangelis....

only 11 million views.. imagine how many people are still searching for this

This man was a genius. Nothing more to say. RIP Vangelis

My grandad was a marathon runner. This was his chosen song at his funeral ❤

My grandad loved running and ran in the London marathon , and he died yesterday, he wanted this at his funeral. (Edit) : honestly thankyou so mutch for your support

Rest in peace, Vangelis the virtuoso. What a magnificent composer we got to enjoy all these years but this, this is his best work. Chariots of Fire will hit differently now after the Maestro has passed on the beaches of heaven. May he find eternal rest and peace there.

The 30 opening seconds of the Charriots of theme must have been the theme of life itself claiming existence in the void, undettered by the unseen challenges of chaos. The listener is invited into this metaphorical epic led by the intro's idiosyncratic electronic pulses mimicking the heartbeat of courage. but then, undeniably, boldly, unremitttingly, at that moment when the piano finishes is famously rousing appergiac theme, we stand bereft of words. We are gripped with the knowing of those who witnwsw history writing itself. The charriots of fire theme is the expression of a dream so great, only love can power it. A transformation so complete, pain, blood sweat and tears must eventually release the hero from the shackles of what but a moment ago arrogantly deemed itself...impossible.

Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire!

I don't always smoke, but when I do, I play Chariots of Fire on the piano...

The hardest part to believe: THIS SONG IS 41 YEARS OLD

Pour l'ouverture des jeux Paris 2024 ce serait magnifique, d'autant que l'action du film se déroule en 1924.

Worship Jesus Christ SEVEN days a week. John 3:36.

One of his biggest hits, Vangelis has left us with a mountain, possibly even mountain range of musical hits to last several lifetimes. RIP Vangelis, and thank you for the music.

At this point I'm pretty sure the song is more famous than the actual movie

I was born with a preexisting condition. Three years later, I contracted Polio 1953. In 1982, I trained for my first marathon in Portland, OR. I played Chariots of Fire 🔥 while training in the hills. I completed the race and it was spectacular as a disabled child wanting to be free...

Iconic pieces of music that will live on and not be forgotten. RIP incredible man.

RIP Vangelis. Your music will inspire for generations.

Don't smoke, people. It's the opposite you can do to run faster and longer.

God is love

This guy. This score. He got me revved up for big games, races, exams, anything. He picked me up when I was down. He inspired and he soothed. RIP legend.

One of the best soundtracks he ever composed that won him an Oscar. There will never be another lime him. RIP Vangelis. You will be missed but not forgotten.

The days when you could have a cigarette without everyone being up in arms. Beautiful piece of music.

My former sister in law was a teacher, and played this for her students at the start of every day. I’m sure it changed their lives.

Vangelis had a musical style all his own. The music for "Chariots of Fire", as well as "Blade Runner", and the music for the Mercury Lynx commercials back in the early 1980's is one of the most memorable of all time. Rest in peace Vangelis, and I hope to meet you in the afterlife.

Absolutely adore this piece of music but every time I hear it now I'm reminded of Rowan Atkinson at the 2012 London Olympics. Lol...

If this song doesn't automatically play in your head when you stub your toe then you've lived your life wrong.

The soundtrack to my life after a huge BM!! Victory!!!! 🎉😂

RIP Vangeli, your music & art will forever be with us and even when we 're gone it will carry on in the depths of the cosmos.

Rest In Peace Vangelis, your music will pass through many generations and we will never forget you. Thank you for your music! We love ya

" CORAJE"❤️‍🩹 CORAZON VALIENTE!

My absolute favourite song 🎵

So sorry to hear of Vangelis' passing. A treasured childhood memory of mine is watching my brother practice this on the piano when I was barely tall enough to peer over the keyboard. I thought it was beautiful music even at that young age and have loved it all my life, and now my own children do, too. Was really cool to have a run along the beach this scene is from with the family several years ago when we were all in Scotland together. Thanks for all the music and memories, Vangelis.

RIP Vangelis (March 29, 1943 - May 17, 2022), aged 79 You will always be remembered as a legend.

RIP Ivangelis!

Happy Heavenly 81st Birthday Vangelis March 29 1943 - May 17 2022

Покойся с миром, Вангелис. Благодарю тебя за твоё творчество.

RIP Vangelis. In two weeks, I'll have been running for 45 years and I still have your music in my head on some of my tougher runs. Thank you.

I remember 😊.... when I was in the third grade back in the day, thin as a rail, and it was field day. I was in the relay race, last runner. I had to maintain the lead and The "S" Team would win the race! Foolish me, I started sprinting right out the gate. Soon I was feeling a bit gassed and therefore took a bit of rest as I was quite far in front of #2. I grabbed a Gatorade off one of the tables and sloshed it down. All of a sudden I started hearing Vangelis "Chariots of Fire" start playing through the PA system. I felt a surge, a second wind. I took my shoes and socks off, it was a cork track, and took off once again, Vangelis Chariots of Fire flowing through my veins and onwards to victory 😊

RIP 🪦 to Louis Silvie Zamperini- Friday January 26, 1917 to Wednesday July 2, 2014. You are missed 🫡

I think in slow motion whenever I listen to this song

Να σε καλά εκεί ψηλά Βαγγέλη, σε ευχαριστούμε για την μουσική που δημιούργησες, θα μείνεις για πάντα στις καρδιές μας. 😪

This is one of the best music of all time.

I love the cigarette in the video. Pretty badass.

Rest in peace, Maestro.So sad to hear the legend Vangelis has passed away.His superb compositions will live with us forever.

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music in existence. Rest in peace Vangelis 🙏

"Sorry folks, the parks closed! The moose out front should have told you. "

I just ran through my wall while listening to this

My dad and I watched this movie together and he had this song on tape. We used to listen to it all the time while stripping and staining furniture when I was a kid. Learning everything about tools..lol My dad passed in February. I've tried half heartedly to find this song the past few months with no luck. Yesterday I was digging through an old abandoned storage compartment and came across a 1981 vinyl in a perfect sleeve with the words "Chariots of Fire" written across the top. I knew right away I had found that song. I tried to get an old record player to work today, and after failing I came to KZfaq. Thank you whoever posted this.

RIP Vangelis I remember my coach putting this song on for us while we drove to a race and you could just feel the Ora of this music hit your soul and get you ready to race. RIP vangelis

help this is my school lockdown drill sound 💀

This song brings back beautiful memories of my childhood.

Not everyone familiar with this movie, but I’m sure (almost) everyone, at least once in their life, has heard of this beautiful score ❤️ #RIP Vangelis 😇🙏🏼

Покойтесь с миром, Эвангелос. Спасибо вам за чарующие звуки ваших мелодий.

This song tune is used in my schools annual sports I was trying to find this since 2 years finally got it FINALLLYYYY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you. This song will be played at my son's Memorial. This song represents by dear son.

This song's message is to "Never give up, and try again, and again, and again, until you finally do it".

The man literally wrote a song which will play when he's been carried to heaven Rest in Peace maestro

A moment of silence for those who knew this song 2024!

This song over 30+ years later still has the power to inspire and motivate even the weakest average joe schmo to pick themselves up from the dirt, and continue to strive to accomplish even the most daunting and impossible of tasks; even when everyone else tell them that they can't do it; and just speaking for myself everytime I hear this piece of music, it just somehow gives me that extra kick to just keep on going, and reminds me that even when something or someone tries to hold me down, or hold me back it gives me a reason to persevere and never give up. Rest in peace Sir Vangelis, and may you play this song to welcome me when I run for the pearly gates of Heaven. God bless and God speed sir.

I asked my husband “what’s that song when people run and accomplish something in 80s movies?” He told me it was this song and that’s why we’re married.

Un día triste para la música electrónica. Otro grande del género que se despide pero nos ha dejado un valioso legado. No te olvidaremos, Vangelis.
