you've tasted bitter defeat and the sweet success you've tasted bitter defeat and the sweet success you want it all and you settle for nothing less you've tried harder than the rest you've become one of the best this is the time you'll remember for all your life forever friends in harmony as the whole world joins and sees days of unity and peace forever through the years we'll hear the cheers joy and laughter everywhere we're together here to share
Makes me feel a good kind of sadness that brings back good I mean GREAT memories. I don't care that's made the world know China can also make something great out of a bad situation.
forever friends you'll meet all races see faces you've never seen people from parts of the world where you're never been and you'll feel it in your heart we spent too much time apart this is the time when all dreams of man come alive no matter where we are or go no matter what we hope for or know no matter how we word our prayer there is one dream we share one world one dream
U2B8, I am not a kid I caught on to "Welcome to Beijing" right from the firt time I heard it, and I think it's worthy of the Beijing Olympics from both a lyrical and melodical point of view. Plus the arrangement was brilliant, and you could feel the built up in celebration. "Forever Friends" pales in comparison by a mile, and it'll be embarassing if they used it in the opening ceremony.
It is a pity that this song was not selected as the theme song, as it is the only chance that we can exceed the theme song "hand in hand" 20 years ago.
I agree, the "Welcome to Beijing" song was waaaay better and way more interesting. I hope they perform the welcome to Beijing song at the opening ceremonies. XD
David Paich of the band Toto was involved with the music for the Beijing Olympics. Does anyone know which songs or theme songs he wrote, co- wrote, or arranged?
Love the lyrics; the melody is too boring though. Maybe because it has to fit in globally, that it sounded too Westernized, something quite common to my ears. "Welcome Beijing" has better melody. Being Asian myself, that song evoked an emotion for us with Chinese influences can truly understand/feel. It's not some kid song, it's Chinese song as it should be.
yea but this is not bad at all, it has traditional Chinese melody and the spirit of the Olympic, it might doesn't sound as passionate as "Hand in Hand", but this song is strong in another way, it has more love, peace and humanity meaning in it.
lol. Well, pollution is always a problem and it can't be solve intantly. BUT if you watch the news lately, Beijing is making a huge effort to improve the air quality including cuting out at least half the number of cars on the road and shutting down factories. I wonder if any other countries have made such big sacrifices. Seriously, enough with the pollution criticisms. Let's just enjoy the game. Go Canada! Go China!
@cosmopolitanewyorker. go out, get some fresh air, you added all those Chinese related videos as your favorites just so you can flame and re-post the same comments on those video?
I didn't bother to listen to the whole sound because it sounded bad from the start. But I went back and listened to it, and my question is, where is the climax? A good Olympic song needs a climax - think of One Moment in Time for the Seoul Olympics. I feel the Beijing Olympics organisers made a mistake in choosing this song.
Me, as a Chinese people, very proud to myself coz i am chinese people, and this song is the best in Olympic for this year. Beside that, domo0019 crazy? Why said that stupid thing, don't u know what is Olympic?? Is it Korean love to eat DOG??? I dont think so, how come people can eat dog, it is disgusting...yikes.....Nevermind, we all are friend in this World, don't fight to each other, just be a good friend. Just like this song ( Forever Friend ) let us know that friend is the best!!!!!!!!
I am relieved. Coco Lee's version of "Forever Friends" is soooo much better...for a moment I thought they were going to use this lame version. I really want to see China do well as a host nation.
Is this the song written or co-written by David Paich of the band Toto? I know he was involved with the music for the Beijing Olympics, I just don't know which song or theme song it is. Do you know?
Beautiful song. One of the best Olympic Games in Beijing. Greetings from Poland. :)
Thank you so much:))
OMG I love poland soooooooooo much! Lewandowski!!!! AND i WILL VISIT WARSAW AND KRAKOW IN SEPTEMBER

I want it sung everywhere. I'm Beijing and I'm surprised this song didn't gain much popularity. It's way better than the theme song imo
I'm so proud of you China!
Good luck international friends!

Proud to be Chinese :')

you've tasted bitter defeat and the sweet success

no matter what we hope for or know
no matter how we word our prayer
there is one dream we share
one world one dream
Fantastic!!!
That's the olympic games' real Spirit!!!
From Costa Rica :)
This should totally be the official olympic song played at the opening ceremony!!!
good lyric meets good melody.
It's so marvelous.
It shows how the spirit of olympic games should be...Good!
Terrific. Must become the winner!
Awesome song for Beijing Olympics. I heard that Celine Dion and Jay Chow will be singing this song in the openning ceremony.
i like the begining, very chinese, makes me homesick.....
Thank you dude... or girl.!! ;) I´ll be back to China sometime, definitely.!
Yes my friend !! Three cheers to China !

PROUD OF MY NATION
I am Chinese, almost 10 years passes, and I think this song should had been the theme song of the Beijing olympic.
this song make me cry ToT
this song is the best!!!!
This is a very sweet and cute song! I love it!
Hand in Hand is really a good song.
i like this song and lyrics. it's hard to find a song that pleases everyone, so be tolerant
nice song and video
i love LOVE THIS SONG!!!
this song is really emotional
welcome to China, you and me, from one world, we are family....
LOVE CHINA=)
We are ready~!
great song, very inspirational!
I think you guys sing better then Coco Li and Sun Nan.Thank you !!
谢谢啊！！
i liked it so much
i was only half chinese and im proud of that
good song.
2:50 - 3:10 is the best part.
You're right. I checked wikepedia and anothe site on "One Moment in Time", and both said it's for the Seoul Olympics. That's quite an error isn't it.
Sydney Olympic Games theme song"the Flame" is powerful......
It is a pity that this song was not selected as the theme song, as it is the only chance that we can exceed the theme song "hand in hand" 20 years ago.
Anyone know who were the singers of this song please?
This is a demo version, released with the MV before the official version came out, so no info was found. I, as Chinese, have been curious for years
@@fredrikrugby thanks for the info!
I agree, the "Welcome to Beijing" song was waaaay better and way more interesting. I hope they perform the welcome to Beijing song at the opening ceremonies. XD

PROUD TO BE ZIMBABWEAN!!!!!
yea but this is not bad at all, it has traditional Chinese melody and the spirit of the Olympic, it might doesn't sound as passionate as "Hand in Hand", but this song is strong in another way, it has more love, peace and humanity meaning in it.
I was so happy when i was in china to hear a song in English but even if it wasn't I would've gotten the point any how
Go China, you RULE!!!
me too!!!
just starting to love China @_@ lols
lol. Well, pollution is always a problem and it can't be solve intantly.

Me 2!
Excuse me! One moment in time is not Seoul
Olympic song! 88 Seoul Olympic song is group KOREANA's Hand in Hand!
I know that China can hold a majour sporting event. They should bid for the Olympics Again or another big sporting event.
a m a z i n g ;)
too bad, liu xian was injured. biggest blow to me. 51 gold now means nothing. it was phelps and bolts' game.
chinese pride!!!!!!!!!!
where do i download this??? i have looked absolutley everywhere!!!
@cosmopolitanewyorker.
go out, get some fresh air, you added all those Chinese related videos as your favorites just so you can flame and re-post the same comments on those video?
the final 4:10 min, is genial, perfect
I remember hearing this when I went to china last summer. The Chinese mandarin version is better though.
I didn't bother to listen to the whole sound because it sounded bad from the start. But I went back and listened to it, and my question is, where is the climax? A good Olympic song needs a climax - think of One Moment in Time for the Seoul Olympics. I feel the Beijing Olympics organisers made a mistake in choosing this song.

Just like this song ( Forever Friend ) let us know that friend is the best!!!!!!!!
who sings this?
who sang this song??
I am relieved. Coco Lee's version of "Forever Friends" is soooo much better...for a moment I thought they were going to use this lame version. I really want to see China do well as a host nation.
I think this is the best song for this Olympics but it's a little too long.
if there's anything else that i should be proud of then it's definitely that my ancestors are chinese
Where can you download this song? I can't find it anywhere!!!!
London's gonna have to do one hell of a job to top this...
GO ROMANIA! And all the countries!!!
yeah im proud to be chinese xD i like this song, but i still like the chinese version better
Wow I never knew that the olympics had theme songs. =\
...Is it just me or does this one sound kinda like something from Pokémon? O.o
sure, maybe you have a better taste =), anyway the olympic is coming, let's just enjoy it my friend, :)
Is this the song written or co-written by David Paich of the band Toto? I know he was involved with the music for the Beijing Olympics, I just don't know which song or theme song it is. Do you know?
