Heard this song at the end of the movie "Finding Your Feet" which has a great story line but the song resonated in my spirit that I had to look it up on TH-cam to see who the singer is.
I love this song so much, my all time best. It really sums up the whole film. Elkie brooks has a unique sound you always know it is young Elkie ever time.
Yes I agree, Elkie always sounds INCREDIBLE! I saw her on stage too back in 2003 & 2004 and I was literally blown away by the vocal quality and Elkie is now well into her 70's on this performance and how great she looks too 😍😍
You are so right! Elkie Brooks is painfully under appreciated.I discovered her the same way so many who have posted comments had and because her voice is the type I always love and because I grew up in the industry, I don't know how I missed her. I immediately, upon hearing her singing "Running to the Future" on the lovely film, "Finding Your Feet", had to find Elkie Brooks.Her song, "No More the Fool", will stay in your mind forever!
Just finished watching Finding Your Feet , I liked the movie and when the song Running to the Future came on I loved it,the song fits the movie perfectly.
Was lucky enough to see her two nights ago at Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury, she was absolutely brilliant - stunning vocal ability as always whether singing ballads or blues/rock numbers. If you get the chance to see her sing live, just do yourself a favour and go- don't miss out on witnessing such vocal talent firsthand - fabulous experience. Thank you Elkie- long may you continue to use that wonderful voice to enthrall us all.
I also heard this at the end of the film, 'Finding your feet' ! I knew I recognised her voice, Elkie Brooks. So powerful, would like this played at my funeral 😂🎉 !!
Seen Elkie now over 15 times in concert and much like a good wine she only gets better with age. As others have said here if you ever get the chance please go and experience the voice live, outstanding.
I remember seeing this on the one show. Can't believe it was over 3 years ago. Was lucky enough to see Elkie live in 2019 for 4th time. One talented lady. Voice is spectacular.
I heard this song at the end of a movie called, "Finding Your Future." I never heard it before or heard Ms. Elkie Brooks and between her incredible tone in her voice and the beauty of the song, I had to pause the movie and find this song. She made the entire movie worth watching. She is so blessed with a gorgeous voice. I'm so grateful to God that my path intersected with Ms. Brooks music. Her voice simply made me cry from joy and released my pain. I believe in the power of music and have seen first hand how it can change someone's life. Ty for posting this, I truly am thankful from my heart. ❤️😇 🙏🏻
Just watched the movie which I enjoyed. This last song Running To The Future stunned me bc it was speaking to me that I googled it so I can see the singer, what a strong performance! The words meant so much to me bc I have decided Nov 3 to finally leave Brooklyn after many yrs and start fresh. The words are poignant. This is another clue in this decision.
A voz é um dom, o talento é um dom. Obrigada por esta linda interpretação, cheia de sentimentos. Essa música é envolvente. Conheci está música no filme * acertando os passos* obrigada. Beijos.
Elkie has always been one INSANELY GOOD SINGER! you can always tell a real singer when they sound 1000 times better "live" than in the studio and Elkie is one of those real singers, just compare the studio version of this song to this "live" version here........NO COMPARISON! to be fair and you will no doubt agree once you hear it
Like a lot of people who have written reviews on this song I first heard it at the end of the movie “Finding Your Feet”. The movie starring Imelda Staunton is excellent but this song “Running To The Future” sung by Elkie Brooks is just wonderful. A movingly beautiful song which somehow suits her voice and singing style to perfection. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!.
Here are the words so you can sing along And the things that I've been put through And everything I've done The battles that I've lost and won Though there's no changing what is in the past The rest is mine to live at last So I take this chance on you So I'm running to the future If this dream surives I'm running along beside you Through the best years of our lives And it's calling me Yes, it's calling me To you So I'm running to the future And hope we will be strong I'm running along beside you 'Cause I know that's where I belong I was tired and I was hurting But you helped me to my feet And made my broken heart complete I know there will be hills for us to climb So come and put your hand in mine And let me walk this life With you So I'm running to the future If this dreams survives I'm running along besides you To the best days of our lives And it's calling me Yes, it's calling me So I'm running to the future I know you will be strong I'm running along beside you 'Cause that's where I belong And it's calling me Yes, it's calling me To you It's calling me to you (Jesus)

The definition of class - I give you Ms. Elkie Brooks. I've been a fan since forever, and she never disappoints. Diolch, Cariad.

Wow ...Elkie still has a great voice. Fantastic song. Saw her live a few years ago and her voice never changes. A very much under rated singer....

Had the pleasure of attending one of her small concerts 25 yrs ago. Great singer a band..
An absolutely epic, human film then with the credits an epic song, running to the future by brilliant Elkie Brookes.

Just watched the movie which I enjoyed. This last song Running To The Future stunned me bc it was speaking to me that I googled it so I can see the singer, what a strong performance! The words meant so much to me bc I have decided Nov 3 to finally leave Brooklyn after many yrs and start fresh. The words are poignant. This is another clue in this decision.
I saw her a couple of years ago and she can still hit a whistle note. Absolutely blew me away.
Perfect song, voice at the end of a great film! Punched me right in my heart....😥😥💔
A triumph, so much wisdom !!

Elkie you’re still my Sunday morning artist to chill to.
That sound is so unique.
A great performance as is usual with Elkie. The song is vaguely reminiscent of Dylan's "Forever Young"

Hi suzieq just see the film and looked up the song as you did what a song what a voice Ellie
What a beautiful choice george foster,good luck to you in your future
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great vocal ,
❤
Elkie looking and sounding as good as ever.
The U.K.s best female singer.,
nòoooooo! that goes to the incomparable Dame Shirley Bassey
I’m entitled to my opinion, Elkie for me .
But my gran does like Bassey .
❤❤❤
Wspaniała jest ta piosenka.
Ditto! ☺️
lovely my song to my jane from your stephen love you xxxxx
who still listens today
Here are the words so you can sing along
And the things that I've been put through
And everything I've done
The battles that I've lost and won
Though there's no changing what is in the past
The rest is mine to live at last
So I take this chance on you
So I'm running to the future
If this dream surives
I'm running along beside you
Through the best years of our lives
And it's calling me
Yes, it's calling me
To you
So I'm running to the future
And hope we will be strong
I'm running along beside you
'Cause I know that's where I belong
I was tired and I was hurting
But you helped me to my feet
And made my broken heart complete
I know there will be hills for us to climb
So come and put your hand in mine
And let me walk this life
With you
So I'm running to the future
If this dreams survives
I'm running along besides you
To the best days of our lives
And it's calling me
Yes, it's calling me
So I'm running to the future
I know you will be strong
I'm running along beside you
'Cause that's where I belong
And it's calling me
Yes, it's calling me
To you
It's calling me to you (Jesus)
Fantastic!
Çok güzel bir şarkı

June😂❤❤❤🎉zxx
What is she doing with her hands???
Probably swinging to keep warm - I seem to remember it being absolutely freezing on the evening this was recorded.She was 73 when this was filmed.
She looks damn good for 73
