You can tell that this Song is about a man with a broken heart Scared of Love , because he will never again suffer from Heartbreak An almost unbearable pain , which seems not to end We all can relate to that and it´s the most horrible thing to go through That´s why this song is timeless and beautiful
@@talthan ... You're both wrong. In the context of Animalympics and just the lyrics themselves, it's about a man who's "run away" from things that he feels are distractions to the goals he sets for himself in life that he believes will make him happy. Achievement, glory, the gold medal, literally or metaphorically, but realizing that there are consequences with the choice to stay faithful to that cause. Rene had put in some much time and effort to become the very best, but he realizes too that even if he makes it to the top, it's a very lonely road and end goal, perhaps not exactly what he actually wanted in life but felt compelled to complete because he already sacrificed so much to get to that point too. Sunk cost fallacy. It's basically the inner conflict of sacrificing love for purpose, leaving you with a choice.
This song is about a man like Nikola Tesla, men like Beethoven, Wright brothers, Isaac Newton, and many more ... who were so goal-oriented that found family life and marital ordeal a significant obstacle between them and their goals. This is a great piece of art indeed.
“There comes a time when you must choose about the path you’re gonna take and you must take it win or lose and if you lose it’s your mistake” … that hit hard
Not many songs tackling the idea that to follow ones dream often requires sacrifice, and the regret of what you have to sacrifice may just follow you further than your dream can take you.
Beautiful lyrics and instrumentation by none other than the English songwriter Graham Gouldman. He is responsible for so many 60s music he wrote for The Hollies, The Yardbirds, and Herman's Hermits. A one time member of The Mockingbirds. During the 70s he formed the group 10cc with Eric Stewart, Keven Godley, and Lol Crème.
I remember watching animalympics as a little kid. Im german and of course at that time i couldnt speak english, but nevertheless i jnew exactly what this song was about and not just because of the images. It was the pain in his voice, his words.. Simply beautiful ❤

Graham Gouldman's best works. This 1 is part of the OST from "Anymalimpics" (a TV movie and child classic) by Steven Lisbenger, later know for your masterpiece "Tron " and Executive Producer of "Tron Legacy". In fact, at the beggining of "Animalympics" there's a man throwing discs in a sort of prelude... Thanks for this song

@@TayoEXE no no while i agree with everything you said...hes also afraid shes going to eat him
I’m 55 now, this songs echos around through out these years since my first heard in my 15, 16 years of younger age…. Masterpiece indeed 👍👍👍
The song and the animation from the film Animalympics went hand in hand. Really poignant scene from the film. Fantastic.

Very wise words..💯
First to hear this song when I was a teenager. 40 years passed , it's still impressive in my mind❣
This is the song I remember most from Animalympics.
I'm nine years old haha.
Me too！
我总是逃跑
从束缚我的东西
我爱我的生活
但爱不适合我
我看到我的目标在前方
没有任何阻碍
如果爱来了
那我就跑了
我一直都是那种人
为他的事业献身的人
这是一条孤独的路
但我会忠于我的事业
只有一个方向
总有一天你必须做出选择
关于你要走的路
不管输赢，你都必须接受
如果你输了那是你的错
只有一个方向
所以当比赛获胜时
没什么可做的了
你又一个人在哪里
又一个人，你在哪里
I came across animalympics a few minutes ago and heard this song. I love it! It’s amazing!
Andrea man you're so cute luv
I got to know this song from a vinyl compilation in the 80s called solid gold collection. Exquisite. Great arrangement with the accordion.
I love the Animalympics Soundtrack! Someone should re-release the film!
So Sad and great. Great songwriter
