Thank You for Listening!

I was 3 or 4 years old when this came out. My mother had bought it on vinyl. It was the first song I can recall being played in our family home. My mother always played the record at full blast! …Fast forward 40 years. My mother and my father have both passed away. My only sibling, my sister, is 3 years older than me. I’m teaching her to play ukulele. The first song we played together was “Chariots of Fire”. In memory of our mother. It’s such a fun song to play on ukulele, and such a stunningly beautiful piece of music to listen to, no matter who’s playing, or what instrument, it’s just an amazing piece of music! My mother would be so proud to see her two children playing her favorite song on a couple ukuleles, she would be so touched. I hope that she can hear us, I like to believe that she can. Music like this transcends time and space, living and dead, and creates a link or a bond between people that cannot be unbroken, regardless of any circumstances. It’s a beautiful thing, having such fond memories of our mother and this song on the record player, as loud as that thing could get, and here we are 40 years later playing the song together with a pair of ukuleles and just hoping that she can hear us. Thank you, Vangelis, for this beautiful music, among so many, and the beautiful memories, you too are well loved, and will be deeply missed. I’ll keep practicing, and when I’ve got it down perfectly, I will play the song for you!

I was a distance runner in high school. Hearing this in my head and visualizing the beach running scene kept me going when I didn't think I could make it the whole 5 1/2 ron up and down hills, etc 5 days a week, then during the 1600 and 3200 m events at the track meets. Thank you for the inspiration, Vangelis! May your soul rest in peace.

Every time I listen to Chariots on Fire it makes me feel like my soul just left my body to go somewhere peaceful where only happiness exist and no suffering.

Its amazing how this simple piece of music with no half-notes and high learnability still inspires people today. If this isn't genius, I don't know what is!

[lukefriesenhahn]

Is it just me, or are the nicest people here? :D I love this music. Thx Vangelis.

Ταξίδι σε ένα κόσμο φωτεινό ! Μαγεία, ηρεμία,γαλήνη, είναι κάποια από τα συναισθήματα που προκαλούν αυτές οι νότες …αγγίζουν την ψυχή

Im 43 now, they played this song on my communion. Or the person who made the tape has put this song under the communion movie. Doesn t matter. What matters is, that i still got emotional when i hear this song. Thinking of the tape. My godchild has done her communion recently. Im making a dvd of all the pics and movies the friends have made of this special day. Of course i will start with the pics, and guess which song? This one of course! Maybe i take this 1 hour version! Rip vangelis. Thanx for making my memory of my communion so wonderful!

Vangelis is one of the greatest composers of our time. I started composing myself because of him and my fascination with the Universe. I am dedicating my next single to Vangelis!

[VickysStories]

This one song is an extraordinary contribution by Vangelis. National song for the planet earth!

[franklinolivosalcedo]

Es alentador leer comentarios de personas de todas las edades evidenciando poseer madurez y suficientes capacidades para aquilatar el valor empírico y etéreo de composiciones de Vangelis que nada tienen que ver con nuevas olas de malos gustos, de individuos incapaces de sentirse arrobados o sumergidos en las grandezas de este compositor y sus creaciones. Las composiciones de Vangelis tienen las virtudes necesarias para inducirnos al pensamiento racional, a las dubitaciones que nos encauzan en los asuntos importantes del espíritu, a veces con temor y sobrecogimientos debido a los efectos que desde nuestras percepciones nos adelantan un desenlace que nos facilita llorar.

Amado Grego Vangelis, suas músicas provém de Universos de Luz e nos levam até locais harmoniosos, longe deste insensato Planeta, a quem muito amamos, mas, sem a Paz almejada. Gratidão ! São Paulo, 15-04-2024- Brasil 💐🦕🌺🐬🌿🌸🌴

[terrylin]

Vangelis was the first to master the promise of the synthesizer, promise hitherto unrealized because, like that of animation, it is limitless. This is a turning point. That is awe-inspiring.

[RitaGr]

Farewell Vangelis - I will never forget the first time I heard this stirring composition. Thank you.
I hope it comforted your final journey 🌹💔🚀

[golfan]

Thank you so much for posting this music. It is a song of positive spirit, of victory, of goodness, of love, for God is Love. No wonder it is disliked, along with the movie, by evil.

[RodneyDunn-lnlr]

Have been listening to his music for some 40 odd years
and it still inspires me. Warms my soul and calms my fears

[amagigoe]

I've loved all Vangelis's music, including Jon&Vangelis. I sincerely hope for your rest in peace. Your music will be forever.
