And I Will Kiss - Underworld 

I had the incredible privilege of being in the cast for this astonishing show. Appeared out of the top of the Tor at the start of the industrial revolution, helped turn the fields into factories, and ended up on the stage under the rings as they converged and sparked into life. To do that to this music as it boomed through that stadium, mixing in with all the intensity and energy of the crowd and the spectacle... Magical!

I am from Scotland. I always am proud to be Scottish. After the Olympics and the amazing display of the opening ceremony, the massive support from GB, today I proud to be part of the United Kingdom. Hopefully we will always remain as Great Britain

I am french and lived in london for 2 years. And although i am not british, i feel like i belong to this country. Proud for the British people (and proud to be sort of one) !

The industrial Revolution section made me proud to think that we changed the face of the entire world. A wonderful performance, and should I hope have grabbed young viewers into the idea of the revolution, and hopefully, want them to learn more. And Kenneth Brangah as Brunel, OMG he didn't even have to say anything and it was a wonderful performance ! LOVE IT

For the first time in my life I am proud to be British and a Londoner. I also admit that I thought it would be a terrible but this was the most inspirating thing my girlfriend and I have ever seen. We saw it on tv in Florida and our jaws just dropped. Well done to all those that took part and done us proud.

In loving memory of Queen Elizabeth II (April 21st, 1926 - September 8th, 2022) She will be missed but never forgotten, resting well forever in peace.

When creating a giant steampunk-industrial town in minecraft, this is the song that keeps me going.

As a Scot too, I have always considered myself British and this years Olympics brought us all together and further affirmed why I am proud to be both Scottish and British. Long may it remain like that

The opening ceremony has enforced the value into our nation and has put the 'phenomenal' back into Great Britain. This is the start of even greater things to come. If everyone felt as inspired as I do right now, we would conquer the world.

This should be the anthem of the human race

I think I'll be enjoying this fantastic song until the day I die...I'll be in a nursing home in my 80's playing this and the young nursing aides who aren't even born yet will probably like it too----thanks Underworld, and thank you London for hosting a truly wonderful Olympics----from Wisconsin, USA.

I'll hold my hands up and honestly say I thought it was going to be a waste of time and money... "Why the hell do we want the Olympics?"..... I had a couple of mates over for a drink and we all watched the opening ceremony... All in sound surround and on a massive LED... All I can say is... I never had or ever will see such a amazing and powerful show again in my life. I think its the first time I had ever felt proud to be British... The world was watching in Amazement....

Unbeliavably beautiful. I'm an American admiring from Madison, Wisconsin........Underworld.....Rick Smith and Karl Hyde......best Olympics in my lifetime, just magical!

This is just one of those songs that sticks with you for the rest of your life. I'm 15, I'm glad I am; I've hopefully got decades more to enjoy it.

Listening to this and seeing the towers rise from the ground with the workers on scaffolding and then seeing the rings being "forged" during the opening ceremony... Made me literally go O_O.... wow.... Amazing music and went extremely well with the presentation. Good luck to all the athletes at the Olympics! They all worked hard to be there.

Easily the best music created for the London 2012 Olympics. Brilliant!

the opening ceremony was amazing .-. so original and breathtaking

what a brilliant opening ceremony.. we just dont throw money at something, we throw Class aswell!!

London, that was the best opening ceremony of any games ever, only Manchester's Commonwealth Games in 2002 comes close. The Industrial Revolution section was amazing and Manchester was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, it made me proud to be a Mancunian and British. How proud Londoners must be, it made me proud to be British so you Londoners must have been bursting at the seams. Well done London!

I know this sounds dramatic but the London Olympics opening was the best thing I ever saw in my life. The music was phenomenal

I saw the opening ceremony on TV and can honestly say it was magical. So creative, outstanding and very BRITISH! Makes me proud to be British and what a fantastic piece of music too! :-)

So true.....I'll say it was the greatest show on Earth... Being 42 I have seen quite a bit ... But this was like nothing I had ever seen! Most of us had a tear in our eye and when the Industrial Revolution part came on I don't think anyone made a noise in the room! Watching the Chimney stacks rising out of the ground and then the forging of the ring with all the people in time with the sledge hammers... Being from Wales and all the coal and steel industries we had made me proud to be British

Astonishing. Truly astonishing. The Brits do it again!!!!!

Oh my god Iam Crying!!!! My Favourate Music is this one. I wish i can listen to more of this kind of music. any suggestion guys it has been so long i have been seeking for this music. I love London all the way from South Africa. Thank you so much!!! Wowwwwwwwwwwww!

03:40 These Guys!!!! Ohhhhh my word! I am Crowning you The King of Music Brother.

Danny Boyle surpassed himself with the opening ceremony and the music was blazingly good. Makes the hairs on the back of my neck go up every single time I watch the ceremony and especially the creation of the ring and the five ring sequence. Oh and the flame .. oh the flame .. wonderful.

I was hoping that this track would be available! Loved it instantly at the great opening ceremony.

5:48 damn, gives me the chills

Brilliant ceremony, specially this part. Stirring, emotional. We are here and we are what we are thanks to the struggle and effort of our past generations. We cant no fail. ;-) Congrats UK, from Spain.

WOW!! was the best bit of the whole amazing ceremony, exceded all expectations and did us all proud and glad to to see the world loved us proud to be a scottish BRIT, will never forget this magic moment in our life times thank you LONDON and TEAM GB for the wonderfull memories XX

Evelyn Glennie is just awesome!!!!

Hypnotic, Haunting, Emotive, Brilliant!

Epic theatre with an epic score with choral arrangements akin to working chants, the horn and drumming, the sound of industry propelling you forwards in it's visceral ebb and flow like cogs of machinery.It seemed like a salute to the workers who were born, lived, breathed and died in "The Workshop Of England". The soaring chants and horns at 12:00 was almost too much, an echo of their voices from the past, slightly melancholic yet all the while working to the greater goal. Stunning.

SCGHTV, I don't care about sports didn't watch any of it. I turned on the opening ceremony out of interest and was floored by the most incredible TV spectacle I have ever seen. Am I any the poorer for the cost of the Olympics? No. For me it was worth the opening ceremony alone. Money comes, money goes, but memories can stay with you forever and enrich your life. I will never forget the Industrial Revolution segment of the opening ceremony.

iam british and live in the states and i must say this part of the show got me very emotional..stunning music, especially when it pauses at the whistling part to remember the fallen of the world wars and beyond..reviews here in the states were mixed but i guess you have to be a proud brit to appreciate it..!!!

This is actually my favourite song at the moment....Which is really weird because I never usually listen to music with no lyrics. I just think this is an amazing piece and I couldn't stop listening to it even if I wanted to.

LONDON FOREVER!!!

Congratulations on a magnificent show, showing off our britishness !

Great song for a Great moment in British History!!!

An incredible piece of music, so much emotion, such epicness, I felt shivers of excitement, awe and pride when this played during the opening ceremony.

2011-2012 these two years just shows how great GB is. We haven't lost a single bit of what's British.

Basically: YES it was. I wish we could bottle up that energy and spirit. The closest I can get to doing so is to listen to this track, close my eyes and let the images and feelings come back.

The whistling part was the bit that gave me chills

I'm glad everyone else thinks this bit was the best! It was awesome

Mate, as a Scot myself I have been pro independence all my adult life. After Danny Boyle's ceremony I finally understood the concept of Great Britain. I get it now, all of us, together. If we can stick together as a people, not as governments, then there is great hope for us. I now consider myself a British citizen.

The whistling honoring tge lost in the Cavalry charges of/and WW1 gives me chills evertime. THE DRUMMING IS FANTASTIC!

Incredibly epic , hats off to Underworld and co.

Agreed, this part of the ceremony gave me chills.

Beautiful words and i toast to them.I wish for more people to discover and become a fan of this band,this genre and this type of music.

OMG! This music gives me goosebumps. Best thing ive heard in ages!

This song gives me chills. Absolutely inspirational.

My favorite musical piece in the ceremony - even better than the cauldron lighting song "Caliban's Dream". This is it... a song about the Isles of Wonder. It sounds like it, it connotes the theme. It delivers.

Stunning piece of music from Underworld played during the Pandemonium sequence of the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony. Majestic.

Will never will get bored of listening to this..Beautiful, powerful and inspiring for some rerason :)

as a proud englishman, gotta say you couldnt have put it better. gutted greatest olympics/paralympics in history nearly over. waht a bloody summer!!

Congrat for London for this wonderful opening, kiss from France

The whistling bit gives me shivers. awesome

its nice to hear graciousness like this on youtube, i've only read negative comments so far. glad some people liked it outside UK

Still sends shivers down my spine. Such a fantastic work. Serious kudos to Underworld :)

As A Brit. Thank you very much.

Such a powerful piece...loved it instantly. Goosebump material..

this is just so awesome i dont know why, if it wasnt for these kind of people we wouldnt even be here..innovations were bought through generations, generations on to other generations bring new ideas..technology advances and with it brings new challenges

fantastic. didnt know underworld played a part in producing the soundtrack. british at its best.

Isambard Kingdom Brunel was responsible for turning my town into a great railway town. We've got a statue of him in the town centre. A truly great man.

i am greek we had great ancient history but i admire british culture especially in music

It was the other Underworld produced song-Calibans Dream that was played when the flame entered and was taken to light the cauldron, both incredible powerful and moving musical pieces from a night I will never forget for the rest of my life,epic!!!!

OMG i have been searching everywhere for this , i heard it on the opening ceremony and feel in love with it im so glad i found it just amazing pure amazing

So proud to be an Anglo-Saxon

same here mate, never bin that patriotic but did make me feel proud, even my dad (an italian) felt pride for us

Reminds me of life before 2020

The show was epic music perfect,goose bumps,emotion,unity,history truly magical,any criticism is mere whispers in comparison to that show....welcome world to the games.

This was one of the greatest things I have ever heard and seen. Fantastic

this and the James Bond segment was the best for me

for me- that was the best part of the whole opening ceremony.

i believe i was there it was so amazing all the ambiance all the nice people that i meet so now i´m so happy

brilliant opening ceremony it touched my heart and my soul

One of the best pieces of music I have ever heard. Combine that to the Industrial Revolution part of the Opening, and it was just overwhelmingly stunning!

Brilliant music and well done London 2012. Absolutely fantastically well done.

They played this song during the chinook display at leuchars air show, it was so fitting and awesome.

I love the bit where Isambard has a cigar in his mouth and looks around at the industrial revolutions and goes yeaaaaaaaaaaaah (well in my mind he did), major epicness

that was what we call a magicall experience ...

Nice to see that music so fulfilling could emerge in today's time. Really, there is something about this soundtrack that is truly compelling and special. Its essence is absolutely stunning, powerful, and so emotionally-driven that tears emerge from the eyes, even after multiple exposures. Most assuredly, this is one of the most dignified and inspirational soundtrack that has ever been heard and will remain so for the years to come. I shall never forget it. Greetings from Canada, ~Trav.~

I hate that all these comments have absolutely nothing to do with how unbelievably amazing this music is. Seriously.

Thanks mate. The feedback we get from most from across the pond is 'what the hell was all that about?" It did make us feel proud, I thought the spectacle and music wasspot on. And the Queen being involved? I cried!

i have mouth and and i can say everything what i want, this is the magic of internet. fortunatelly.

When I play this song I don't want it to ever end. For me the dissappointment is that the end has been reached far too soon.

this music gives me the chills for some reason but it is amazing

This is a very uplifting spine tingling tune

Superb comment, really captures my reaction to this piece. I bloody love Underworld!

Defonatly agree to that. Was the best part by a long shot.

Awesome music........so dramatic i think it summed up the industrial revolution that happened in the uk, and the solo drummer was flaming fantastic, i am very proud to be born on this isles of wonder :)

the rings was my fav part - i honestly didnt see it cooming until they lifted into the air. Very clever!

This is a brillant piece from the opening ceremony. The industrial revolution part was amazing! Enjoyed every bit of it. Underworld and Dame Evelyn Glennie are one fantastic duo.

Great song

best part of the best opening ceremony so far

Been an Underworld fan since '94. Way to go Smith and Hyde!

Indeed - it was one thing to see the amazing spectacle on TV, but to be there in the stadium was indescribable. I wish we could bottle up that feeling and share it with the world!

Exactly the same here mate. I was super cynical. I didnt see it on a big screen, I watched it alone too but felt proud, as it was the best opening ceremony Ive seen, so inventive and clever. And it had the Queen lol! I even like the smug beckham grin on the speedboat. I felt like we out did the world. (I cried)

I was there too, couldn't quite place the music when I heard it but glad to have found it now lol

Who'd have thunk Great Britain could be Great again. 2012: The year we realised our tiny island is still pretty awesome (and we've started winning again at the sports we invented).
