Inspirational Songs from the Olympic Games!
Ranked #309 in Music, #6,809 overall
Are you ready to be inspired and uplifted?
One of the great things about the Olympic Games is the inspirational songs that form part of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. There are also many great songs that are used to accompany the telecast.
The new 'Welcome to Beijing' song is fantastic. If you don't speak Chinese, then make sure you read the subtitles in the video below. There are some really lovely sentiments!
My favourite Olympic songs are from the coverage of the Sydney Games. The songs are by Bond, who are an all-female electric string quartet. Their songs are guaranteed to get you feeling good! Make sure you check out their videos below. Definitely a band to be added to your ipod playlist whenever you need a bit of inspiration!
I hope you find these songs as uplifting and inspiring as I do!
