In 2017 I awoke in ICU after 8 days in and out conscious being told I almost died from a massive cerebellar stroke. A myrical I survived. In the early stages of recovery - I learned how to do everything as if a baby would. From walking to talking. Literally starting over at age 53. A wonderful nurse would visit and play this song for me. It is now my favorite and most inspirational song every time I feel like giving up on what's normal for most people. Never give up. Look beyond the horizon. Dare to do the impossible. Never let others hold you down. Have faith of the heart. You can do anything.
Tears ... this absolutely moves me to tears. This isn't just about Star Trek or space travel. This is about DREAMS ... this is about looking over the horizon and wondering what else is out there. This is about being daring and courageous and willing to take on the extremes of our universe in order to open the minds and hearts of ordinary people. I salute all of the brave explorers of the past and the brave explorers of the future, because this video celebrates their spirit.
"The universe is not chaos. It's connection. Life reaches out for life. That's what we were born for, isn't it? To stand on a new world and look beyond it to the next one. It's who we are." 'Maggie' - "Mission to Mars"
I have my first flight lesson today. I have been playing this on repeat all day. Thank you Star Trek, for letting me dream to boldly go where I have never gone before, and explore the final frontier.
I realize I will be classified as a uber nerd for this, but this song actually brings me to tears every time I hear it... Faith of the heart... The belief in oneself to be able to do anything... I hope humanity becomes like Starfleet
I love Enterprise and I love this song. Got the boxset for Christmas and watched it back to back. Almost made me cry when I got to the end. I’m going to miss those guys 😭
On November, 2017 I almost died from a massive ischemic stroke. As I began the long road to recovery into my new normal, a nurse/therapist would visit and play this song for me every day. It got me through those early days of learning to walk, read, talk, and write again. Now it's my favorite source of inspiration when I'm down and in doubt. Even today, I'm doing things people were saying I'd never do again. This song is about not giving up. It's about daring to dream the impossible and accomplishing exactly that which we do not think is possible. Look beyond the horizon and go there. Live long and prosper.
I was going to post on this particular song and as I scrolled down, I read your thread and our cases are eerily similar. My stroke was also ischemic and happened 2 days before Xmas 2017. I heard this song when I would watch Enterprise in the hospital and later when I couldn't sleep at night when I was home. There are many lines from the song from which I still draw inspiration to this day. I figure I am looking at 7 year recovery and I work on it 6 days a week often for hours. I have the reading, talking, and writing back to normal. I am back driving and I have worked a little, although the limits are COVID related not stroke related. I am also doing things people were saying I'd never do like walking without a cane, which I started doing in April. I wo.uld love to hear an update on your recovery. Mine is really taking off in Year 5! It's been a long road, getting there to here. (i always add NO DOUBT) It's been a long time, but my time is finally near. Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day. And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky. Cause I've got faith of the heart.
It´s been a long road, getting from there to here. It´s been a long time, but my time is finally near. And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing´s in my way. And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna hold me down. Cause I´ve got faith of the heart. I´m going where my heart will take me. I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything. I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me. I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart. It´s been a long night. Trying to find my way. Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day. And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky. And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna change my mind. Cause I´ve got faith of the heart. I´m going where my heart will take me. I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything. I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me. I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, faith of the heart. I´ve known the wind so cold, and seen the darkest days. But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change. I´ve been through the fire and I´ve been through the rain. But I´ll be fine. Cause I´ve got faith of the heart. I´m going where my heart will take me. I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything. I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me. I can reach any star. I´ve got faith. I´ve got faith of the heart. I´m going where my heart will take me. I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me. I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart. It´s been a long road.
three days after the 30th anniversary of the Challenger accident it still hurts to see the crew, I remember watching the launch and explosion in elementary school, I'm 38 now. This is an excellent tribute to their sacrifice and all our members of the space program. instead of working on weapons to kill each other, our government should take those dollars and put it into the next frontier, Space. There are discoveries to be made! if we don't those lives lost in the space program were in vain.
Robert, I KNOW how you feel because I watched the first orbits around the earth LIVE. I saw our USA efforts to get to the moon, failures and ultimate success. I dreamed of that being me from sixth grade. I'm over 60 now and I STILL haven't given up my dream! Privatized space travel is becoming a reality and no matter what the risk, I'm going to get UP there. Wanna go to mars? keep the dream alive son!
I still don't understand why people hate this theme. I unironically think it's the best theme of the entire Star Trek series. Especially with the intro visuals. It's just SO good. This Theme, plus the visuals is like, the perfect kind of thing to send out into space. It's the baby steps of human space exploration! How could you NOT like this theme??? it's fantastic. Different? Sure! But still amazing! Edit: Some typos.
Agreed. If people don't like it, it's because it's different than any other Star Trek theme song. Get used to it. Things evolve. Just like the song says.
I've ALWAYS thought this song was PERFECT for the enterprise show. Since it was the FIRST ENTERPRISE. "ITS BEEN A LONG ROAD, GETTING FROM HERE TO THERE" is an acknowledgment of how far humanity has come from since we launched the Voyager satellites and.landed on the moon. It captures EVERYTHING the world felt at that time. It is my personal FAVORITE ST song.
Speaking as a die hard trekkie (please note, not trekker, but trekkie) I have watched every episode, movie, and cartoon relating to this series. The fundamentals and morals it teaches are something I long for in this world, especially with everything that is going on. This song could not have been a better choice for the show it was representing. And it has absolutely nothing to do with religion. Faith isn't strictly religion. Faith is the evidence of things that we do not see but we hope for. Things we believe in, despite all of society telling us "You're not ready." When Archer looked at the Admiral and told him that Humans were ready, he was showing that faith. He believed, with all his heart, that despite what the Vulcans said, humanity was ready for whatever the universe could throw at them. Awesome job with the video and filling out with the song. Sadly, it's done in 2009 and now 11 years out of date. How about an update to it to include our next step of faith? The Mars rocket that we just launched! #believeinthefuture
At this point in my life this song has meaning for me. I’ve always been afraid of change and risk because I’ve always been more terrified of failure than excited for the possibility of success. That wall seems to have finally crumbled and I am no longer afraid. At 41 I am finally ready to make serious changes in career and health. Kahless be praised.
I've spent the last several years watching episodes of all the Star Trek series each night on UPN. After watching them for several months, I was very surprised to find that that I found the Enterprise series to be far and away, the second best Star Trek series ever, just behind the original Star Trek series. And the only reason I put the original series first, is because it deserves a lot of credit for being the first and bringing the concept to live, and covering a lot of social topics that were controversial when it came out in the '60s . The reason I love the Enterprise series so much is because it never had "trivial" episodes, where the show was dominated by romance themes ( ex. Riker and Troi), it never had "silly" episodes like Voyager devolving into Tim Paris playing Flash Gordon in the holodeck), and it was far superior to Deep Space Nine . Enterprise was gritty, with morally complex themes ( ex. Archer having to blow up a listening post of unarmed aliens in order to keep their presence secret while trying to find and stop the doomsday weapon from blowing up Earth ), and it showed how difficult it was to be in space , pretty much on your own , without a fleet of starships to help you out. The way Star Trek fans dissed this show and , in my opinion, are very closed minded about it , is a shame. They're missing out on an excellent series
This song is so dear to my heart. I started working as a customer support at a company. I was treated very badly. Moved on from that job to another, becoming a marketing data analyst. The salary wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. All this time, I studied hard, never gave up, following my dream. I always wanted to be a game developer and have my own company. I worked over 13 hours a day on Upwork, Fiver, all this time, listening to this song on repeat. Today, after 7 years, I have my own company, working on game development and still listening to this song - My time is finally near and this is the soundtrack that gave me all the motivation to do it! P.S. I'm a Star Trek geek too and I love it! :))
Could be one of my favorite tunes . . i do not usually post here but I will say this... I started watching Star Trek at 3.. original series... been with me my whole life... which I am grateful
As I watch Enterprise, hearing This song reminds me of my late step sister. She never did like Star Trek but she learned to endure it. She would sing this song. And now when I hear it it brings me to tears. The words are so true.
On currently watching Star Trek Enterprise on Horror Channel in the UK for the first time, (YES, in 2018, sorry!) I can honestly say it is my favourite Star Trek series, hands down. Not a bad episode in there up to Episode 20, Season 3. It is fantastic, and PHEW!, that heart-shuddering theme opening, awesome! Great acting and production values throughout from all involved. Epic stuff. Miss it, when it ends. Will have to chase up the DVDs from Series 1, to Series 5, fast.
I still love Enterprise but... its now my fourth favorite Star Trek series. Deep Space Nine is now #1, then its Next Generation, then Voyager, then Enterprise.
I have to say about this song is that it's showing how humanity in the past, present and future of Star Trek has come along way to where it is now. And that's a perfect way to illustrate what people from the future can learn from their past.
Enterprise was the first st series I ever watched (and i watched it with my family). It is what got me into star trek. Thank you to the creators. I know it is not universally liked, but i really loved it and I believe that it was getting beterr every season and that the romulan-eaeth war with thr creation of the federation would have been amazijg star trek and i am very sad that i never got to watch it.
We've been rewatching enterprise since we have so much time. Turns out my 8 month old loves this song. He was crying in the carseat so I looked this up. Calmed him down and put him to sleep. 🤣
Holy Gene Rodenberry's Ghost! This goes straight into my favorites, right this instant, because the additional footage so uttterly matches the extended song, that not only has it given me a case of the shivers, it almost made me cry!
The future of the human race, is not on this planet. It is to reach out , first to explore our solar system, then if we don’t destroy ourselves, to reach out beyond into interstellar space. Maybe some day we can “Go where no one has gone before”
It was a great show that sadly came to an end IMO prematurely. Like many, I questioned the theme tune when compared to the other Star Trek series out there. But I see the meaning now. It is inspirational as much as it shows the journey, so makes sense. I have told my children to listen to these words carefully and know that with enough dedication, hard work determination and focus, they can reach their own stars, regardless of what others may say or mock.
This intro alone shows that America is the greatest country in the world, Americans have seen the world, have been to space and been to the moon, nothing is impossible for America
This was a great song and I also think it was perfect for the Show. I've been watching reruns of all the various Star Trek shows, for the past several months, and I'm surprised to say that I think the 'Enterprise ' show was not only vastly underrated, but was probably the SECOND best Star Trek series ever, behind only the original series. I realize Trekkie's will cry 'blasphemy' at that statement, , but the Next Generation, as good as it was , had a lot of lame episodes, especially in the later years. And Voyager got pretty silly after 3 years, while Deep Space Nine was never very good. . The Enterprise series however, always had good episodes, an excellent cast, and it showed what I thought was a fairly realistic, gritty way, of how the Federation came to be and survive despite a lot of early challenges. It 's much much better than it was given credit for.
Yes! I'm glad we have the same feelings about TOS and Enterprise. Most people consider TNG to be the best and Enterprise to be the worst. I've always thought TOS was the best and Enterprise was right up there in 2nd place.
Voyager is the one that everybody always dissed when I was growing up. This show was just straight up forgotten. That said, Enterprise, TNG, Voyager, DS9 and the original series are unfortunately the only good Trek series we've managed to snag. I haven't been able to stomach much of the newer series. Especially those trash tier animated ones
Just to clarify, the original "Faith of the Heart" was sung by Rod Stewart for the 1998 Robin Williams movie "Patch Adams". Russell Watson was probably used to sing the Enterprise theme because his voice nearly somewhat imitates the timbre & scratchiness of Rod's voice.
Whilst I've found DS9 less appealing, I have to agree with your other points. This song fits Star Trek quite well, especially this series with Archer's personal dreams of exploration and stuff.
At 0:46 is that Yuri Gagarin? There is no insignia in the photo, however, if it is then congratulations is due to the producers to see achievement past the politics.
Today as I watched the Space X launch and docking and then watched the booster land ON A BARGE at sea standing straight up AND THEN seeing the star trek like interior of the dragon capsule docking with the ISS I realized something I knew was coming when Elon Musk started sharing his dreams years ago. It came to fruition today. I love star trek and have since I was very little( I'm 53). I've seen space travel progress through the years, amazed, from the Viking lander, the space shuttle, Apollo missions, Voyager reaching out of our solar system. I told my wife tonight as we watched the dragon mission that I was reminded of an appropriate song that should be dedicated to Elon and everyone that shares his dream. I found this excellent extended version and find it fitting. Thank you to the person that posted this. It was great.
Wonderful, inspirational, visionary song. And now - this extended version. Love the bridge. And then - what a rendition. The proud ancestry of ships named enterprise. Thank you. Live long and - prosper. ;)
This is, and will always be, one of my favorite Star Trek theme tunes. I especially like the way you have incorporated humanities advancement over time. Lets hope we get out there and find out what the universe is all about! 🖖
A song I originally hated, but over the years, mellowed on and grew to like. It's not what I would have chosen for the Enterprise intro, but the cheesiness of it makes me smile.
@@swaythegod5812 I'm religious and love to sing in church, lmao. It's got nothing to do with that. Also, "matches the visuals"? Of Star Trek? I don't really see where you would make that connection. It very clearly should have been another instrumental piece like the other intros. I don't disrespect it for doing something different; I just don't think it was executed very well.
I’m a big Star Trek fan for years, this theme song and the Tv Series is one of my favorites. The Star Trek Franchise is still dear to my Sci-fi Fantasy Heart. 😊
I watched this when my son was new born. I stayed up all night and watch this with him in the crib next to me so mommy could get the best sleep. I will watch this with him when he is older. And tell him that whenever i hear this intro it takes me back to that time. Aslo will tell him how much love him and that STE will allways be a show that is his and mine.
A few years ago I said I would post a comment on this video when a good Star Trek came along. Lower Decks has recaptured the spirit while doing its own thing. Close enough for me. Let's celebrate!
+Bill Krayer,Jr. Rod Stewart sung it first. It was written by Diane Warren for the soundtrack of Patch Adams in 1998. Russell Watson renamed it in 2001 for the theme to Star Trek Enterprise but it still remains that the original songwriter and singers titled it "Faith of the Heart".
Sorry,I didn't know all that.I heard the Rod version(after watching Enterprise) in a Denny's in Colorado and it sucked.Sorry.And I knew who wrote it.But Russell did it better.
This is really a great song. And it completely fits the whole Star Trek theme. I never did figure out why fans had a problem with words. Personally, I put it in my top three of all themes for Star Trek. Deep Space Nine Voyager Enterprise And it’s a hill I will die on.
It's really nice that you watch Star Trek Enterprise. If you haven't watched this video you're really missing out! You have not herad the whole song!!!
If anyone at NASA saw this music video of the extended version of the theme of Star Trek- Enterprise,they would've felt a little sad seeing the last crew of the Challenger & the last crew of the Columbia before those shuttles exploded with them aboard.
I m a big star trek fan but never got used to this show. After watching the two new shows, I rewatched the first episode of enterprise and instant liked it more than ever and definitely more than discovery and unfortunately picard as well. It feels more like star trek from the very first beginning. Maybe I should give this enterprise another shot.
We will never forget them, just as we last saw them this morning. As they prepared to leave on their journey, and waved goodbye, and slipped the surrly bonds of Earth to touch the face of God.
Were you in Florida at the time the Challenger made its very last launch into space with the last Challenger crew? Did you see that space shuttle make its last launch in person,or see it explode on live TV 74 seconds after its final launch?
If there ever was a song that perfectly encapsulated the heart of Star trek, the desire for exploring the next frontier, and believing in your ideals and belief in a better future, this is it. And both in the original opening and in this video, watching every small step leading to the enterprise is both moving and inspiring. Anyone else feels like going outside and looking at the stars? :)
I don't like Deep Space Nine. I don't like the station, The story isn't good. So far I've only liked the episode with Q, hope it will get better. That's the way it is, but everyone has a different taste and I'll give it a chance.
Best memory of my life: The bells stop. Four heartbeats of complete silence. Then this song starts. The door wings fly wide open and, at her father´s side, my girl enters the church. All eyes on her. To the music she walks straight through the lines of our completely stunned guests. Her father smiles, stops after the half way and lets her go the last steps on her own. My best man smiles too, then steps aside as well and leaves me standing alone - but I have only eyes for her. It´s the first time I see her in this dress. Wow. My heart is hammering hard in my throat, my eyes are burning in liquid fire and I simply can´t stop my face from grinning happily. She finally stops at my side to become my wife. I can reach any star!
This is a great song. This was well done and was created with great perspective. I just wonder how much better it would have been with shots of Liaka, the first earthling in space, and Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space. With those shots it would make Star Trek and Enterprise a realism beyond criticism. It would include all of Earths efforts to reach the stars, not just Hollywoods.
I thought the song was perfect for the spirit of the show, and always chuckle when I watch the intro and see Alan Shepard with that head nod, remembering his famous quip to control after long hours of delay launching Freedom 7: “Why don’t you fix your little problem and light this candle?”. The spirit of adventure will always carry us to new horizons
Wir Menschen könnten so viel mehr erreichen, Gemeinsam 💪🏻 statt uns immer noch gegenseitig zu bekriegen, der Wut, Hass & vielen anderen Dingen Platz zu geben, statt Probleme zu lösen & endlich als Menschheit, mit allen anderen Lebewesen dieses Planeten in die Zukunft zu gehen,
Who is lisening to this in 2024?
I am!
I am
❤❤❤❤❤te. Amo
yup and beyond 2024.
Yeah! And I’m rewatching Enterprise on Paramount+ atm!

Never give up. Look beyond the horizon. Dare to do the impossible. Never let others hold you down. Have faith of the heart. You can do anything.
That was BEAUTIFUL!....bless you.
Star Trek always was more than just a TV show. Faith, heart, boldness. Live long and prosper, ser.
Miracle*
God bless you sir
thank you
Enterprise was my favorite Star Trek. And I love this song!
mine too.
Yes,me too.
Rod Stewart's music is the best in Sound,understanding text and meaning and emotional.
No doubt, great song that really touches one emotionally.
Gioco da tavola della Enterprise📼
Enterprise, the cast, the music..............Show was criminally underrated and ended faaaaaaaar to quickly.
I would have loved a 15 season show. Could have easily gone that far and more!
Tears ... this absolutely moves me to tears. This isn't just about Star Trek or space travel. This is about DREAMS ... this is about looking over the horizon and wondering what else is out there. This is about being daring and courageous and willing to take on the extremes of our universe in order to open the minds and hearts of ordinary people.

Howd ya do?
I realize I will be classified as a uber nerd for this, but this song actually brings me to tears every time I hear it... Faith of the heart... The belief in oneself to be able to do anything... I hope humanity becomes like Starfleet
💗
Brought tears to me too. Hope for humankind.
I hope so and I hope our starfleet have an enterprise as our flagship to the stars.
I love Enterprise and I love this song. Got the boxset for Christmas and watched it back to back. Almost made me cry when I got to the end. I’m going to miss those guys 😭
The founding of the Federation brings me to my knees. I keep hoping we get there before I die.
On November, 2017 I almost died from a massive ischemic stroke. As I began the long road to recovery into my new normal, a nurse/therapist would visit and play this song for me every day.

It's been a long road, getting there to here. (i always add NO DOUBT)
It's been a long time, but my time is finally near.
Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
Cause I've got faith of the heart.
It´s been a long road, getting from there to here.
It´s been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing´s in my way.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna hold me down.
Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.
It´s been a long night. Trying to find my way.
Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna change my mind.
Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.
I´ve known the wind so cold, and seen the darkest days.
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change.
I´ve been through the fire and I´ve been through the rain.
But I´ll be fine.
Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith.
I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.
It´s been a long road.
Thank you for showing the lyrics of the theme song of Star Trek-Enterprise.
Thanks :) This is such a great song :)
Rómulo Speratti Thanks for taking the trouble to transcribe these inspiring lyrics.
thank you
Fucking genius!
three days after the 30th anniversary of the Challenger accident it still hurts to see the crew, I remember watching the launch and explosion in elementary school, I'm 38 now. This is an excellent tribute to their sacrifice and all our members of the space program.
instead of working on weapons to kill each other, our government should take those dollars and put it into the next frontier, Space. There are discoveries to be made! if we don't those lives lost in the space program were in vain.
Space is just another political game now. Nobody cares. We would start WWIII over who owns the moon.
Robert McDonald i agree iim stil new to star trek but i have faith within humanity that well go on but that well meet new life an well prevail
Robert McDonald agreed
MrWolfSnack there is a law preventing a nation from claiming a planet or moon.
Robert, I KNOW how you feel because I watched the first orbits around the earth LIVE. I saw our USA efforts to get to the moon, failures and ultimate success. I dreamed of that being me from sixth grade. I'm over 60 now and I STILL haven't given up my dream!

That wall seems to have finally crumbled and I am no longer afraid. At 41 I am finally ready to make serious changes in career and health. Kahless be praised.
I hope you're doing even better after these 3 years man
I've spent the last several years watching episodes of all the Star Trek series each night on UPN. After watching them for several months, I was very surprised to find that that I found the Enterprise series to be far and away, the second best Star Trek series ever, just behind the original Star Trek series. And the only reason I put the original series first, is because it deserves a lot of credit for being the first and bringing the concept to live, and covering a lot of social topics that were controversial when it came out in the '60s . The reason I love the Enterprise series so much is because it never had "trivial" episodes, where the show was dominated by romance themes ( ex. Riker and Troi), it never had "silly" episodes like Voyager devolving into Tim Paris playing Flash Gordon in the holodeck), and it was far superior to Deep Space Nine . Enterprise was gritty, with morally complex themes ( ex. Archer having to blow up a listening post of unarmed aliens in order to keep their presence secret while trying to find and stop the doomsday weapon from blowing up Earth ), and it showed how difficult it was to be in space , pretty much on your own , without a fleet of starships to help you out. The way Star Trek fans dissed this show and , in my opinion, are very closed minded about it , is a shame. They're missing out on an excellent series
This song is so dear to my heart. I started working as a customer support at a company. I was treated very badly. Moved on from that job to another, becoming a marketing data analyst. The salary wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. All this time, I studied hard, never gave up, following my dream. I always wanted to be a game developer and have my own company. I worked over 13 hours a day on Upwork, Fiver, all this time, listening to this song on repeat. Today, after 7 years, I have my own company, working on game development and still listening to this song - My time is finally near and this is the soundtrack that gave me all the motivation to do it! P.S. I'm a Star Trek geek too and I love it! :))
Could be one of my favorite tunes . . i do not usually post here but I will say this... I started watching Star Trek at 3.. original series... been with me my whole life... which I am grateful
As I watch Enterprise, hearing This song reminds me of my late step sister. She never did like Star Trek but she learned to endure it. She would sing this song. And now when I hear it it brings me to tears. The words are so true.
Star Trek Enterprise is my favorite Star Trek series
On currently watching Star Trek Enterprise on Horror Channel in the UK for the first time, (YES, in 2018, sorry!) I can honestly say it is my favourite Star Trek series, hands down. Not a bad episode in there up to Episode 20, Season 3. It is fantastic, and PHEW!, that heart-shuddering theme opening, awesome! Great acting and production values throughout from all involved. Epic stuff. Miss it, when it ends. Will have to chase up the DVDs from Series 1, to Series 5, fast.
I still love Enterprise but... its now my fourth favorite Star Trek series. Deep Space Nine is now #1, then its Next Generation, then Voyager, then Enterprise.
I have been a Star Trek fan since the late 80s. I really enjoyed this theme song. Loved all the scenes of Earth making each step into space travel.
Gritings from Poland 🇵🇱 the best Star trek, live long and Prosper Brother's😎
To jest troche nas o Polakach
I have to say about this song is that it's showing how humanity in the past, present and future of Star Trek has come along way to where it is now. And that's a perfect way to illustrate what people from the future can learn from their past.
Enterprise was the first st series I ever watched (and i watched it with my family).
It is what got me into star trek. Thank you to the creators.
I know it is not universally liked, but i really loved it and I believe that it was getting beterr every season and that the romulan-eaeth war with thr creation of the federation would have been amazijg star trek and i am very sad that i never got to watch it.
This is not only for Star Trek: Enterprise, but it's a tribute for the exploration of space, TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO ONE HAS GONE BEFORE
I liked the nods to Apollo I, Challenger and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Agreed, that shot of Gus Grissom gets me every time!
Well done! Love seeing the Enterprise -C not forgotten!
We've been rewatching enterprise since we have so much time. Turns out my 8 month old loves this song.
He was crying in the carseat so I looked this up. Calmed him down and put him to sleep. 🤣
Holy Gene Rodenberry's Ghost! This goes straight into my favorites, right this instant, because the additional footage so uttterly matches the extended song, that not only has it given me a case of the shivers, it almost made me cry!
I just cannot watch this enough.
The future of the human race, is not on this planet. It is to reach out , first to explore our solar system, then if we don’t destroy ourselves, to reach out beyond into interstellar space. Maybe some day we can “Go where no one has gone before”
I don't care what anyone says. That is the best intro to Star Trek Enterprise. Strong word faith of the heart.
Who had the music stucks in his head during the launching of spaceX ?
i had the tng theme. the one with the aggressive trumpets
@@Guy-zf5of the only good music
Me
@@Guy-zf5of Dark Enterprise? Lol
I didn't even finished the original series, but this end, man... I almost cried.
It was a great show that sadly came to an end IMO prematurely. Like many, I questioned the theme tune when compared to the other Star Trek series out there. But I see the meaning now. It is inspirational as much as it shows the journey, so makes sense. I have told my children to listen to these words carefully and know that with enough dedication, hard work determination and focus, they can reach their own stars, regardless of what others may say or mock.
This intro alone shows that America is the greatest country in the world, Americans have seen the world, have been to space and been to the moon, nothing is impossible for America
This was a great song and I also think it was perfect for the Show. I've been watching reruns of all the various Star Trek shows, for the past several months, and I'm surprised to say that I think the 'Enterprise ' show was not only vastly underrated, but was probably the SECOND best Star Trek series ever, behind only the original series. I realize Trekkie's will cry 'blasphemy' at that statement, , but the Next Generation, as good as it was , had a lot of lame episodes, especially in the later years. And Voyager got pretty silly after 3 years, while Deep Space Nine was never very good. . The Enterprise series however, always had good episodes, an excellent cast, and it showed what I thought was a fairly realistic, gritty way, of how the Federation came to be and survive despite a lot of early challenges. It 's much much better than it was given credit for.
Yes! I'm glad we have the same feelings about TOS and Enterprise. Most people consider TNG to be the best and Enterprise to be the worst. I've always thought TOS was the best and Enterprise was right up there in 2nd place.
@@jerobriggs6861 yeah i think like you , the worst for me is deep space nine
@@pwayb.7857 To each their own. For me, it's DS9 > TNG > Enterprise > TOS/Voyager tied > Discovery
Yes
Voyager is the one that everybody always dissed when I was growing up. This show was just straight up forgotten. That said, Enterprise, TNG, Voyager, DS9 and the original series are unfortunately the only good Trek series we've managed to snag. I haven't been able to stomach much of the newer series. Especially those trash tier animated ones
This song is so under valued. Such inspiration comes from the lyrics. Perfect motivational song.
I loved this serie and watched twice. All ST series are great, different in many aspects, but all good.
Just to clarify, the original "Faith of the Heart" was sung by Rod Stewart for the 1998 Robin Williams movie "Patch Adams". Russell Watson was probably used to sing the Enterprise theme because his voice nearly somewhat imitates the timbre & scratchiness of Rod's voice.
Whilst I've found DS9 less appealing, I have to agree with your other points. This song fits Star Trek quite well, especially this series with Archer's personal dreams of exploration and stuff.
Yes u are right
A BEAUTIFUL SONG 😎🙂
So many people hated, and still hate this theme song. Those people simply lack faith of the heart.
At 0:46 is that Yuri Gagarin? There is no insignia in the photo, however, if it is then congratulations is due to the producers to see achievement past the politics.
this should be the official anthem for all space travel
Today as I watched the Space X launch and docking and then watched the booster land ON A BARGE at sea standing straight up AND THEN seeing the star trek like interior of the dragon capsule docking with the ISS I realized something I knew was coming when Elon Musk started sharing his dreams years ago. It came to fruition today. I love star trek and have since I was very little( I'm 53). I've seen space travel progress through the years, amazed, from the Viking lander, the space shuttle, Apollo missions, Voyager reaching out of our solar system.
I told my wife tonight as we watched the dragon mission that I was reminded of an appropriate song that should be dedicated to Elon and everyone that shares his dream. I found this excellent extended version and find it fitting.
Thank you to the person that posted this. It was great.
Wonderful, inspirational, visionary song. And now - this extended version. Love the bridge. And then - what a rendition. The proud ancestry of ships named enterprise. Thank you. Live long and - prosper. ;)
I cry for the lost.
But as a fire fighter, you got to do it.
This is, and will always be, one of my favorite Star Trek theme tunes. I especially like the way you have incorporated humanities advancement over time. Lets hope we get out there and find out what the universe is all about! 🖖
A song I originally hated, but over the years, mellowed on and grew to like. It's not what I would have chosen for the Enterprise intro, but the cheesiness of it makes me smile.
The song is not cheesy it matches the visuals your clearly just projecting your own bias against religious music cuz your insecure
@@swaythegod5812 I'm religious and love to sing in church, lmao. It's got nothing to do with that. Also, "matches the visuals"? Of Star Trek? I don't really see where you would make that connection. It very clearly should have been another instrumental piece like the other intros. I don't disrespect it for doing something different; I just don't think it was executed very well.
So i dont understand why star trek fans hated the series so much i love it! And thats coming from a Star Wars Fanboy!!
I bloody love this song WOW I wish More films TV can do something like this wow what an inspiration I got faith in the heart
Okay so it's not a dramatic intro but still it speaks volumes about the accomplishments of humans in space. It is a true godspeed theme.
i have no idea why some trekkies hate this intro
I’m a big Star Trek fan for years, this theme song and the Tv Series is one of my favorites. The Star Trek Franchise is still dear to my Sci-fi Fantasy Heart. 😊
I watched this when my son was new born. I stayed up all night and watch this with him in the crib next to me so mommy could get the best sleep. I will watch this with him when he is older. And tell him that whenever i hear this intro it takes me back to that time. Aslo will tell him how much love him and that STE will allways be a show that is his and mine.
A few years ago I said I would post a comment on this video when a good Star Trek came along. Lower Decks has recaptured the spirit while doing its own thing. Close enough for me. Let's celebrate!
What a fucking awesom marvelous version you did, guy. Congratulations!! It's really really wonderfully perfect.
OMG!!!Beautifully done!!!Love how you used every iteration of the ship!!Even the E!!!Made me cry!!!Thank you!!!(and the "2001" clips!!)
what's the name of this song?
Faith of the Heart
It's actually "Where My Heart Will Take Me" by Russell Watson.
+Bill Krayer,Jr. Rod Stewart sung it first. It was written by Diane Warren for the soundtrack of Patch Adams in 1998. Russell Watson renamed it in 2001 for the theme to Star Trek Enterprise but it still remains that the original songwriter and singers titled it "Faith of the Heart".
Sorry,I didn't know all that.I heard the Rod version(after watching Enterprise) in a Denny's in Colorado and it sucked.Sorry.And I knew who wrote it.But Russell did it better.
2024 I'm listening to this song and I'm crying what happened to America
Excellent and fantastic video!
This is really a great song. And it completely fits the whole Star Trek theme. I never did figure out why fans had a problem with words. Personally, I put it in my top three of all themes for Star Trek.
Deep Space Nine
Voyager
Enterprise
And it’s a hill I will die on.
It's really nice that you watch Star Trek Enterprise.
If you haven't watched this video you're really missing out!
You have not herad the whole song!!!
If anyone at NASA saw this music video of the extended version of the theme of Star Trek- Enterprise,they would've felt a little sad seeing the last crew of the Challenger & the last crew of the Columbia before those shuttles exploded with them aboard.
I had to get used to this as an opening theme for a Star Trek show, but I love it...ty for video...was sad when it ended and own the entire series
I love it, the star trek saga is the best, it gives us hope in the future of humanity
I m a big star trek fan but never got used to this show. After watching the two new shows, I rewatched the first episode of enterprise and instant liked it more than ever and definitely more than discovery and unfortunately picard as well. It feels more like star trek from the very first beginning. Maybe I should give this enterprise another shot.
I still like the dedication plaque of Enterprise. Leonard McCoy said it best, "Treat her like a Lady and she'll always bring you home"
Wish that was still true
I am hearing this theme, it is so beatiful.
On of the best Star Trek Songs
It is the epoch of the good Star Trek.
Listening to this song while watching the falcon hevy take off from Kennedy. And my bucket list has one less item on it.
Everytime I see that pic of the Challenger crew...I cry
Both the last Challenger crew and the last Columbia crews were in that video.
David Nuttall oh dear. It kinda makes sense tho, to show both the successes and the failures.
David Nuttall as well as the crew of Apollo 1
We will never forget them, just as we last saw them this morning. As they prepared to leave on their journey, and waved goodbye, and slipped the surrly bonds of Earth to touch the face of God.
Were you in Florida at the time the Challenger made its very last launch into space with the last Challenger crew? Did you see that space shuttle make its last launch in person,or see it explode on live TV 74 seconds after its final launch?
Congratulations to SpaceX Dragon Endeavor crew, Space Team, Nasa and Every along the way that made it possible. Thank You all. Keep reaching.
I cam reach any star listening to this wonderful music.
It is a very good song. I always enjoyed it.
I shared this right now for the NEW American Astronauts, who have just launched
this song saved my life
If there ever was a song that perfectly encapsulated the heart of Star trek, the desire for exploring the next frontier, and believing in your ideals and belief in a better future, this is it. And both in the original opening and in this video, watching every small step leading to the enterprise is both moving and inspiring.
Anyone else feels like going outside and looking at the stars? :)
Excellent theme 🌌
This is a beautiful song. I remember hearing this and wondering if there was a full version. Glad I found it ,so inspiring!💕🎶😁🌺
Brings me to tears! Best theme of all - not just Star Trek. Small people in this world with power are destroying our dreams!
All Star Treks series before Discovery were great.
I don't like Deep Space Nine. I don't like the station, The story isn't good. So far I've only liked the episode with Q, hope it will get better. That's the way it is, but everyone has a different taste and I'll give it a chance.
primo song and great tv series.
Pass round whatever you are smoking
Best memory of my life:
The bells stop.
Four heartbeats of complete silence.
Then this song starts.
The door wings fly wide open and, at her father´s side, my girl enters the church.
All eyes on her.
To the music she walks straight through the lines of our completely stunned guests.
Her father smiles, stops after the half way and lets her go the last steps on her own.
My best man smiles too, then steps aside as well and leaves me standing alone - but I have only eyes for her.
It´s the first time I see her in this dress.
Wow.
My heart is hammering hard in my throat, my eyes are burning in liquid fire and I simply can´t stop my face from grinning happily.
She finally stops at my side to become my wife.
I can reach any star!
this song is so appropriate for the beginning of the nx 01 ENTERPRISE!!
To me this song signifies not only a great Star Trek series, but the also the last one. A goodbye to Star Trek, the end of the greatest voyages.
I love Russell Watson's voice! This song always makes me think of God and hope for humanity!
This song makes you think about our. Future and we are going to play this. Song at our wedding as our first wedding dance great song
Big part of me and my sister's childhood. We used to sing along.
It shows how far humanity comes if we work together no fighting no war just peace no more money
we will always have war as long as there are those who wish to dictate the fate of others
Let's make sure that history never forgets the name "Enterprise"!
Song is a perfect compliment, to Gene Roddenberry's vision. I'm sorry he never lived to hear it.
"its been a Long Road~"
*Enterprise E warps away*
me: dammit, how did i not think to search for the extended/full version of this song? X'D
This is a great song. This was well done and was created with great perspective. I just wonder how much better it would have been with shots of Liaka, the first earthling in space, and Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space. With those shots it would make Star Trek and Enterprise a realism beyond criticism. It would include all of Earths efforts to reach the stars, not just Hollywoods.
I thought seriously about including Yuri and the Soviet space program. However, Time constraints of the song limited the overall message...sorry.
Everyone hates this one but i love it.
I thought the song was perfect for the spirit of the show, and always chuckle when I watch the intro and see Alan Shepard with that head nod, remembering his famous quip to control after long hours of delay launching Freedom 7: “Why don’t you fix your little problem and light this candle?”. The spirit of adventure will always carry us to new horizons
Wir Menschen könnten so viel mehr erreichen, Gemeinsam 💪🏻 statt uns immer noch gegenseitig zu bekriegen, der Wut, Hass & vielen anderen Dingen Platz zu geben, statt Probleme zu lösen & endlich als Menschheit, mit allen anderen Lebewesen dieses Planeten in die Zukunft zu gehen,
Song of the day 😍🎉🎉🎉
Scott Bakula is criminally overlooked in the Star Trek fanbase. Ties for 3rd place best captain imho, next to Avery.
