[Western Music] Official Olympic Theme and Cheer Song

Just A Dream AwayJohn Denver

“Just A Dream Away” | John Denver 1984 Winter Olympics | comp. Michael Miller

The 1984 Los Angeles Olympics were held amid political issues that even led to a boycott at one point, yet the event also etched many great moments into sports history through countless standout performances.

One song that symbolizes those Olympics is “Just A Dream Away.” While Olympic music is usually bright and uplifting, this piece is known for the uncommon appearance of a minor key within that context.

From an Olympic standpoint, it can be considered a quite daring composition.

This type of song goes in with rap, and the melody line comes in around the pre-chorus or the chorus.

I feel like there isn’t a refrain.

Actually, since they keep singing “champion,” there is a refrain.

After all, you can’t keep doing commercial music if it doesn’t sell.

And that’s not just true for music.

The official theme song of the Beijing Olympics, “Time to Shine,” is sung by Luo Tianyi, a Chinese Vocaloid.

Debuting in China in 2012, she has held hologram concerts in Shanghai, continued collaborating with many Chinese singers, appeared on music TV programs, and holds tremendous influence among young people.

For many in Japan, the Beijing Olympics may have been their first introduction to her.

“Time to Shine” blends a vibe reminiscent of traditional Chinese music with contemporary dance music, resulting in a high-energy track.

Gang do Eletro – Velocidade do Eletro

They’re a Brazilian group called Gaby Amarantos & Banda Tecno Show (Ganggue do Eletro) who appeared at the opening ceremony of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

Their style, “technobrega,” blends the traditional genre brega with techno, and the mix of tradition and the new is irresistibly cool.

It’s a perfect hype-up, cheer song!

Beautiful DayU2

U2 – Beautiful Day (Official Music Video)

The song that NBC, the American TV network, used as its theme during the 2000 Sydney Olympics was this one by U2.

As you can tell from the title, “Beautiful Day,” it’s a truly affirmative, uplifting track.

Even when you’re going through something tough, someone will reach out a hand, and you can feel that the power to climb back up is within you.

And everything eventually becomes something that’s passed, and happiness will come—so I think it lets you feel a sense of hope!

The song performed at the opening ceremony of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics was “Bang The Drum” by Bryan Adams and Nelly Furtado.

Bryan Adams is a seasoned veteran who debuted in 1978, and Nelly Furtado is one of Canada’s leading songstresses.

Their superb vocals make this a wonderful love song you’ll want to listen to again and again!

It’s a type of track that starts with a greeting and moves forward in a rap style.

Later on, it shifts to a more melody-focused way of singing.

That’s actually pretty important, right? With vocal music, there’s often a clear image of the melody line, so it’s enjoyable.
