Enjoyed her rendition of chariots of fire. For those who don’t know she also sings the national anthem for the England rugby union team at international matches. She herself plays rugby as a fullback on the Rosslyn Park women’s team, which won her the nickname “Scrummy Soprano.”
Her magnificent and specutacular song invigorates the human spirit , and is full of admiration and deep emotion , and beyond description , and comfortable to the ear and the mind
Instrumental and vocal version of this track were written simultaneously in 1981. Original song has even 2 versions - english and french, both sung by Demis Roussos. In 2012 the track was remade on the occasion of Summer Olympic Games in England. th-cam.com/video/MUJ6wTZxVlw/w-d-xo.html
Same here, and it's my favorite music collection of all times. The entire CD is magnificent, as well as the movie, and the documentary that eventually found it's way on the internet to cover his greatest race which was not portrayed in the film, but in a Japanese Concentration camp. When Erik died, I'm sure there were Japanese soldiers weeping... His entire life was the embodiment of God's love towards one another, and the conquering and subdue of the flesh by the spirit.
It usually doesn't have any words. There are actually several sets of lyrics for this. The words were added much later. There are probably 100 sets of words written by different lyricists.
There is but one freedom Man running along Each step that he's taking's A step to his soul The passion and courage It takes to be there The spirit of freedom Alive in the air Whenever the running man awakes To challenge the glory He knows that he can turn the key To unlock the soul Let no man surround himself with pain But use it to free him The game is to learn to live again To try to the end The way becomes clearer The way is complete The need that of winning Admits no defeat The circles together Hold hands to the sky The freedom of running The freedom to try Race to the end....
There are music that is needed to put a lyrics BUT it is depends on whose singer gonna sing it? There is one Filipina singer who once been a teen idol in the early 80's who became a Christian and recorded this song. I am too fuzzy too in music as I am a singer too and it's quite seldom for me to agree with the syncronization of melody and voice tone and this Filipina singer had sang that song in beautiful syncronization unfortunately her version couldn't been found in youtube. Her name is Gigi Villa
I liked it..my favorite song Funny thinking of two fat guys writing and singing about running but the genius came through It was about the freedom though, something you feel through running but maybe other things too? So they could relate, I doubt they ran much.
What is the name of this song? I owned a cassette album called “Love Me” way back in 90’s. And that album had this vocal version of chariots of fire…. From South India
The earliest I have found is in 1982 written by Jon Anderson for Demis Rousos Album "Demis" Title is "Race to the End" Search "Demis Roussos & Vangelis "Race To The End" (Chariots Of Fire)"
Before they came up with these words to the musical piece, I'm surprised people didn't recognize that you can sing "On Top Of Old Smokey" or more currently "On Top Of Spaghetti" to it. I've always wondered if Vangelis actually copied it but can't find any reference connecting the two.
The song is named "Race to the End". Music by Vangelis and lyrics by Rock-and-Roll Famer Jon Anderson - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Anderson - enjoy.

Unparalleled rendition of the legendary composition
Vangelis Is A Miracle, Who Connects our soul with the Universe With the Psychology of Music Mind
RIP Vangelis Papathanassiou
Absolutely 5 stars beautiful! This has been my favorite song since the film came out. Now it's even more so!
Her magnificent and specutacular song invigorates the human spirit , and is full of admiration and deep emotion , and beyond description , and comfortable to the ear and the mind
Never knew there was a song to this. Been listening to different versions of the theme so TH-cam’s probably picked it up. Excellent
Absolutely beautiful performance :)
Still tirelessly beautiful!
I never knew that this song has words.

You are a God @@starmansk .....(Chariots of Fire) Vangelis & Demis Roussos ..Botha are Great Humans of Universe
Beautiful and my all time fav song.
In case anyone's wondering, Jon Anderson (of YES) wrote the words.
OOOH!! WOW!WORDS TO "THE CHARIOTS OF FIRE"WELL! GREAT STUFF!!LAURA WRIGHT GIVES IT JUSTICE TO THE THEME!!FROM(U.K.).
Bring me back to the past...
I never knew this song had words either, but how lovely it is to hear it sung by such a lovely singer.

Was fortunate to see Laura sing this live....What a voice!
Amazing Voice and with the music

Elle est très belle cette chanson avec une voix très douce ! comme c'est magnifique !
saw this at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester and I simply fell in love with Laura!:)
My favourite since I was 11 piece. Wonderful version. Amazing interpretation.
I remember when this song was first written, it did not have words.
Laura is a simply wonderful singer, she has a marvellous voice
I think certain music must be without words. Sometimes words or lyrics disturbs the purity of music.
I’ve been hooked to chariots of fire 🔥......
Me too!
You have such a beautiful and soothing voice 💖
Saw Jane Olivor sing this in concert. Best version.
OH MYYYYYYYY GOOOOOODDD THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL I H
NEVER KNEW IT WAS SUNG
This is a man's song.....to be a fighter like the chariots of fire....and race to the end !!
Beautiful.
She is beautiful isn't she?
Beautiful
Superb
There is but one freedom
Man running along
Each step that he's taking's
A step to his soul
The passion and courage
It takes to be there
The spirit of freedom
Alive in the air
Whenever the running man awakes
To challenge the glory
He knows that he can turn the key
To unlock the soul
Let no man surround himself with pain
But use it to free him
The game is to learn to live again
To try to the end
The way becomes clearer
The way is complete
The need that of winning
Admits no defeat
The circles together
Hold hands to the sky
The freedom of running
The freedom to try
Race to the end....
Thank You For The Cof Lyrics

Title is "Race to the End"
Search "Demis Roussos & Vangelis "Race To The End" (Chariots Of Fire)"
Another song with similiar melody is Prime Mover by Rush

Victoire to frantz fanon
Interesting to hear it sung.... But why in D major.... Should be in the original key Db major....
Call jesus blood by pray
I prefer the music only
Can you imagine Beyonce singing this song?
No thank you...Laura Wright best
Far better than Demis Roussos singing it.
Come on Lady be Serious You sound Like a Dysney Land Song😂🤣
She looks like Meghan Markle!!
Beurk je préfère la version orchestrale de Vangelis ou par un orchestre symphonique; cette fille n'a pas de voix.
¡Porquería!
Crap!
