Dear Vangelis,

I just want to let you know, whenever your soul may be ascending to, is similar to what you left to us in this world.
The burning tears that I had for my late father who passed away on January 12, 2020 is the very same as of May 17, 2022. I believe many also felt the same.
You spoke of love, courage, sympathy, greatness and hope like no one else could. When it was and will be difficult, you were the father; friend; light; closer to God and to nature itself for every single heart that listened to you.
And for that, I really do hope that heavens exist so we/I can thank you there.
All that is left is to carry the blissful smile in honor of your existence that happened once in a lifetime.

May your spirit of sound never rest and echo for eternities.

This song over 30+ years later still has the power to inspire and motivate even the weakest average joe schmo to pick themselves up from the dirt, and continue to strive to accomplish even the most daunting and impossible of tasks; even when everyone else tell them that they can't do it; and just speaking for myself everytime I hear this piece of music, it just somehow gives me that extra kick to just keep on going, and reminds me that even when something or someone tries to hold me down, or hold me back it gives me a reason to persevere and never give up. Rest in peace Sir Vangelis, and may you play this song to welcome me when I run for the pearly gates of Heaven. God bless and God speed sir.

My dad and I watched this movie together and he had this song on tape. We used to listen to it all the time while stripping and staining furniture when I was a kid. Learning everything about tools..lol
My dad passed in February. I've tried half heartedly to find this song the past few months with no luck. Yesterday I was digging through an old abandoned storage compartment and came across a 1981 vinyl in a perfect sleeve with the words "Chariots of Fire" written across the top. I knew right away I had found that song. I tried to get an old record player to work today, and after failing I came to YouTube. Thank you whoever posted this.
