ABOUT THE MUSIC FOR THIS VIDEO:

To celebrate the return of the Olympic Games to Greece in 2004, BBC TV selected a specially
commissioned new piece of music to accompany the program, which reflects the history, spirit and all that the Olympic Games stand for.

The song, Olympia – Eternal Flame, is performed and recorded by the celebrated “world’s first opera band”, Amici forever. The song was written by Greek musician/writer/producer John Themis,
Rick Blaskey, who has previously been involved in the official music for many of the world’s major international sports events, and Greek poet Avraam Demetriou.

The lyrics of the piece encompass what the Games are all about. The opening sentiment is translated as, “O come young people, all join hands, with one heart, resolve your differences”, reflecting that this was, indeed, how the Olympic Games came about. This is followed by the sentiment, in Greek, which expresses that this is a “song of peace, to the people of the world, for a bright future, Greek spirit of immortality, prosperity and completeness of body and mind”. Ancient
Greeks were especially focused on the development of these attributes.

The third section reflects the five colors of the Olympic rings (red, green, black, blue and
yellow), as well as five symbolizing the unity of the five continents. It also translates as “Arch
of Heaven”, a rainbow, signifying the unity of all colors, races and creeds; and as “Time you
returned home: welcome back to your birthplace, O Olympiad”.

The Olympia chant that runs throughout the song is a reference to Olympia, the birthplace
of the original Olympic Games. The additional recurring refrain of Eternal Flame reflects the
enduring spirit of the Games that is symbolized by the Olympic Flame and the symbolic Olympic Torch that carries the Flame and the spirit through time.
