WOW..I had forgotten this song. Thanks for sharing it. These guys were one of the most under rated bands out there. Very good musicians.

Does anyone remember this song being used in the movie "The Terry Fox Story" about a 20 year old Canadian amputee and cancer victim who tried to run across Canada to raise money? The movie had Robert Duvall in it, was based on actual events, and might have been an HBO Picture.

Thanks for posting this great song. I never saw the video before, but I distinctly remember having this song in my head in the spring/summer of 84 while running, training for going into the Marines. I knew that not many people knew this song and it was my own training song (before MP3 players) Especially the lines "behind you another runner is born" and "you will run your time, a shooting star across the sky",inspired me to train very hard. Years later I was on Amercian Gladiators and ESPN! :)

I looked for this song forever. Finaly found it. I heard a portion of it on the movie The Philadelphia Experience. It is exactly what I thought it would be...very inspirational.

Olympic videos are from Munich (1972) & Montreal (1976). Song received a lot of airtime before the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, but don't know if USOC had anything to do with it.

Oh yes and reflects perfect the Scene of the Film. Love this song and this SciFi Classic.

The Olympic footage is from the '72 and '76 Olympics.

It can't be the 1984 LA Olympics since this video came out in late '83-early '84. So it preceded the LA Olympics.
