古代不朽之神,
美丽、伟大而正直的圣洁之父。
祈求降临尘世以彰显自己,
让受人瞩目的英雄在这大地苍穹之中,
作为你荣耀的见证。
请照亮跑步、角力与投掷项目,
这些全力以赴的崇高竞赛。
把用橄榄枝编成的花冠颁赠给优胜者,
塑造出钢铁般的躯干。
溪谷、山岳、海洋与你相映生辉,
犹如以色彩斑斓的岩石建成的神殿。
这巨大的神殿,
世界各地的人们都来膜拜,
啊!永远不朽的古代之神。

这一年中国首次参加奥运会,所以这是我们听到的最早奥运歌曲,也是当时国际上最畅销的单曲。作为第一首奥运主题曲,《reach out》问世之后便成为了美国的流行金曲,同时开始了奥运和音乐的第一次结合,所以非常值得一听。
关于歌手:《Say you, Say me》是里奇更为我们熟知的另一首经典情歌,这位黑人歌手拥有近1亿的唱片销量,无疑是那个年代最耀眼的超级巨星。2004年里奇也来到中国,只不过这次他是出现在海南三亚的第54届世界小姐大赛总决赛上。
关于创作者:约翰·威廉姆斯是属于好莱坞的,《星球大战》系列、《大白鲨》、《外星人》、《侏罗纪公园》、《辛德勒的名单》等电影配乐都是他的作品。五尊奥斯卡金像奖,15次葛莱美奖已把他定义为最值钱的音乐人。
歌曲故事:“也许会是迈克尔·杰克逊”,这个秘密一直保留到了最后,二亿多的电视观众才知道主题曲由里奇演唱。同为20世纪80年代最伟大的流行歌手,他们为非洲难民募款创作了那首著名的《We Are the World》。
亮点再现:所有城市都因奥运会的巨大开销望而却步,这使洛杉矶在没有任何对手的情况下获得了主办权。不得不佩服美国人精明的商业头脑,让奥运会首次盈利。这也是此后奥运会举办权争夺得愈来愈激烈最根本的原因。

Some dreams live on in time forever
Those dreams, you want with all your heart
And I'll do whatever it takes
Follow through with the promise I made
Put it all on the line
What I hoped for at last would be mine
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach
Some days are meant to be remembered
Those days we rise above the stars
So I'll go the distance this time
Seeing more the higher I climb
That the more I believe
All the more that this dream will be mine
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
I'm goona be stronger
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be so much stronger yes I am
Know that I've tried my very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach higher
If I could, If I could
If I could reach
Reach, I'd reach, I'd reach
I'd reach' I'd reach so much higher
Be stronger
歌曲从前奏开始就采用交响乐式的伴奏,以管弦乐、电钢琴与爵士鼓为基础,营造出一种大气磅礴的音乐氛围。作为奥运会的主题歌,它也采用了稳妥并接近民众听觉习惯的作曲方式。主歌部分一直是稳步推进,以轻交响式的伴奏,辅以并不太突出的男声合唱为底色,一直推进到第二段。男女的群体和声在一瞬间变成了副歌最重要的伴奏,人声就完成了和弦的几个组成音,并且把男女声音不同的特点运用到了不同的音高上。在骤然转变的瞬间,取得了一种厚积薄发般的效果,甚至在某一两个小节的旋律与和弦上给人一种并非相同歌曲的错觉,然后迅速回到原歌的调式上,推行着激情与热情。这是一首对主题阐述得很明确而且成功的歌曲!
童星出身的澳洲女孩Tina Arena自小在水银灯与掌声中成长,1991年为了进一步发展,只身来到洛杉矶,93年加盟CBS出版了3首张专辑《Don't Ask》所有努力与蜕变终于得以印证。总销量达到双白金,成为国际乐坛瞩目的人物,97年的第二张专辑《 In Deep 》更展现了这位27岁女星的迷人风采,在美国 Billboard Top Ten 中长期占据首位位置,2000年的悉尼奥运会给了Tina Arena更大的空间展现自己的才艺, 一曲“Flame”迷倒亿万乐迷,也达到了她事业的巅峰。
