    In 1998 I was in Beaumont hospital with cancer waiting to go for the operation the next day. I just wanted to go home as I was afraid. So I went down to the radio station in the hospital and asked them to play this song for me. It really calmed me down and made me feel that I would make it home. Its now 24 years later and all is good. So thank you Jon and Vangelis you helped save me :)

    It makes me smile, seeing Jon at this point in the early eighties, when everything seemed so optimistic. Truly, we never knew how good we had it. As we look back on those days from the point of view of the 21st century, my wife and I realized that we didn't appreciate it because we didn't realize we could ever lose it. Now we know.

      I don't remember the early 80s being optimistic. The USSR was fully committed to the Cold War, and Ronald Reagan had begun dismantling the America that had taken 200 years to build. Perhaps your memories are clouded by nostalgia from your teenage years?

      Lost my youngest brother to Sudden Adult Death while playing football, we loved this song as kids. It’s never easy and anyone who says it gets better with time is a liar. Remember to talk to your sister every day about anything at all, I found it helps and she is closer to you than you think. Death is not the final curtain and should be celebrated.

Sang it to my fella, sang it to Shazam, no joy. Finally, tonight, heard it playing in the background of a compilation show about 1982, Googled some lyrics, and here I am. Totally overjoyed :-D

    My brother, one of the first to be struck down with AIDS, declared this song, his theme. Back in the those days it was only known as the gay cancer. We had no idea about his alternative lifestyle; he kept it hidden until a few months before his passing. He came home to visit and I suppose to say his good-byes. He was about to board a plane back to New York City to settle his affairs, but he suddenly took a turn for the worse. The airline refused to let him fly. As it turned out, he would have died on the plane. My brother was an inspiration to me. I followed, as best I could, in his footsteps. His interests became my interests. He was so talented as a singer, musician, artist, and even scientist that there was just no way I could hold a candle to him.

    Vangelis, arguably the best musician in the world before he died couldn't read music. He used to play some chords and an assistant would write the music for him. He also never had any music lessons and Chariots of Fire was written for his father who won a gold medal at the Olympics. Their is a documentary on Vangelis that lasts for 2 hours but it tells his life story through his own eyes. Well worth finding and watching! I hear you now was also a great song of theres.

      Prophecies fulfilled by Jesus Christ.
      There were over 300 prophecies fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ.
      The Bible has many that were written thousands of years before Jesus was born.
      Precise, detailed prophecies such as; where He would be born (Micah 5:2), how He would be born, (Isaiah 7:14) how He would die (Psalm 34:20.)
      History has proven, without any doubt whatsoever, they were fulfilled exactly as that Amazing Book (the Bible) had prophesied, hundreds of years earlier.
      In the book, “Science Speaks,” mathematician and scientist, Peter Stoner, applies the rules of probability to these prophecies.
      The chances of just eight of these three hundred prophecies being fulfilled are 1 in 10 to the 17th power; that's:
      1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000!
      Compared to:
      The odds of someone being struck by lightning are:
      1 in 709,260.
      The odds of winning the Kentucky Lottery are:
      1 in 5,245,786. 2
      Picking the 6 right numbers in 49 number Lottery:
      1 in 13,983,816.
      In the book, “Science speaks,” Professor Stoner, illustrates:
      Let us try to visualize this chance, suppose that we take 10 to the 17th power silver dollars and lay them on the face of Texas.
      They will cover all of the state two feet deep, now mark one of these silver dollars and stir the whole mass thoroughly, now blindfold a man and tell him he must pick up one silver dollar.
      What chance would he have of getting the right one? Just the same chance that the prophets would have had of writing these eight prophecies and having them all come true in any one man.
      Science Speaks, pages 106 + 107.
      Professor Stoner, then took 48 of these over 300 fulfilled prophecies, only one-sixth, the chances of the 48 being fulfilled are 1 in 10 to the 157 power, that's 1 in 10 with 157 zeros! Or, illustrated:
      That's:
      1 in 10,000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000.
      Here's how Professor Stoner illustrates:
      Let us try to visualize it. . . The electron is about as small an object as we know of. It is so small that it will take 2.5 x 10 to the 15th power of them laid side by side to make a line, single file, one inch long. If we were going to count the electrons in this line one inch long, and counted 250 each minute, and if we counted day and night, it would take us 19,000,000 years to count just the one-inch line of electrons. . . With this introduction, let us go back to our chance of 1 in 10 to the157th power. . . Let us make a solid ball of electrons, extending in all directions from the earth to the distance of six billion light-years (the distance that light will travel at 186,000 miles a second in 6,000,000,000 years). Have we used up our 10 to the 157th power electrons? No, we have made such a small hole in the mass that we cannot see it. Now, one of these electrons was marked and thoroughly stirred into the whole mass; blindfold your man and ask him to find the marked electron. (The electron, in fact, is so small that it cannot be seen with a powerful microscope.) To the extent, then, that we know this blindfolded man cannot pick out the marked electron, we know that the Bible is inspired.

      I was 14 when this was released. Hard times for my mum and I. Mum never earned much but we had a little cottage in Wales which came with her job. Life was sometimes a little difficult but it was nonetheless a happy time and I look back and it makes me smile. Sadly all my family are now gone, my mum and dad, uncles and aunts. It's life and we all have to face it at some point. I'm lucky that I have a great woman to help me and two great kids.
      I hope you are not alone and that you have some support during difficult times. Good Luck
