My daughter loved this movie when she was little. Now I'm a grandpa and watched it yesterday with her and my 8 year old grandson. Man I got so emotional. 3 generations watching it together. Got teary eyed, and had to fake a piss break😂😂😂
I want this song played at my funeral, because I want to be welcomed by my dad, both sets of grandparents. I have cancer and I want to be remembered for who I was, it sucks but but I’m trying to beat horrible disease
HacksignKT in the early 90s everybody thought the 80s was naff - but with a bit more time distance we can appreciate its merits again. Now the 90s, and 2000 seems a bit cheesy to me!!
HacksignKT I agree. This movie taught the importance of Innocence,and Love. Everyone has it. And many don't know that Innocence and Love are Make the best of Allies. This gives us all the Power to Combat Darkness! The world is in Turmoil,today. The TV News speaks of too many Murders and Robberies all the time,now! Only one man can save us all!! When the Day of Judgement arrives,I hope I get sanctuary in Heaven,the same as you!
In my opinion, our culture has become increasingly shallow. The other aspect is that big budget movies don't take risks any more, in order to maximize their profit margin. So we end up with art that isn't true unadulterated expression, but simply a business. Perhaps they're the cause of our culture being shallow, because our entertainment is shallow. And that's what influences us from early on. I think we've lost touch with the things that matter.
Time changes everything. This movie was a product of the 80's and we no longer live there. Appreciate the fact that we got this movie at all. You can't make a movie exactly like this in a different space. You can't make a desert movie on the ocean.
This is why Tom Cruise is considered to be the last of his kind or maybe the only one in Hollywood who refused to make movies that heavily depend on CGIs. He really put his mind, body and soul just to entertain us. I will forever be his fan.
A decade unlike any before it, gone for all time. Never again will creativity ignite and grow in complete isolation from other minds until it is ready to be seen.
I hate to be biased, but it really is difficult for me to disagree. Peter Gabriel also did a couple of soundtracks that are up there. Legend, Birdy, and Passion are likely the holy trinity for me. The Italian band, Goblin, also did a good number of soundtracks that are probably worth mentioning, from what I've heard.
+indigodream21 Im lucky enough to have that version on dvd recorded from tape that my dad recorded all those years ago. The other soundtrack is just a noise
God this song is gorgeous!! What a melody. So dark and haunting. Jon Anderson was beyond perfect to sing this! I don't think anyone else could capture the mood and the gloomy-ness as he did. Such melancholy memories listening to this on cassette back in the late 80's/90's. So wish they would offer this to download, The whole soundtrack is amazing.
Tangerine Dream, kicked ass on this soundtrack in the one week they had to do it. To say otherwise is folly. Let someone else have a week and come anywhere close this whole soundtrack.
this movie touches every aspect of human emotion. love, anger, revenge, lust, sadness, jealousy, manipulative, scary, funny, envy, denial, high and low self esteem, and many more!! just interesting how this one movie covers everything emotionally about humans!
So I'm sitting here totally drenched in vodka berries, writing the same stupid poetry, feeling that same "what the hell?". I do some surfing and found this piece of gold. I can't stop crying. Thanks to the person who posted this. Nice to take a cruise down a long unused avenue in my mind. Heavy sigh!
+Lynda Staack don't let go of your muse, darling. EVER. Right now it may be steeped in lonesome times, but that IS due to change...even for you. This, too, shall pass...all of the emotion I ever poured into my music is now going to pay off after 25 years of writing (and 200 songs later)
I am in my mid-30's and by all rights shouldnt have any knowledge on Jon Anderson let alone this obscure song. But I have to say that I absolutely love this song. Jon's vocals absolutely blow me away in this song. I loved this movie as a kid and happened to find the sound track for sale on some bargain table years ago and I bought it on a whim. I couldnt tell you how many times I listened to this song over and over and over. Jon's vocals are sorely underappreciated by so many. I wish I could sing like him. At about 3:44, this song really illustrates how awesome his voice is. My kids think I am weird for liking this music, but its just so awesome that I cant ignore it.
Why should you have no knowledge of Jon Anderson? Unless you only listen to current music or don't listen to rock(let a lone progressive rock) I wouldn't think that's the case. Jon has one of the most recognizable voices in rock.
Certainly you know that Jon Anderson was a lead vocal for the rock group "YES", with many well-known hits like "Owner Of A Lonely Heart", "Love Will Find A Way", "Changes", "Leave It", "It cCan Happen", "Rythmn Of Love", etc... Not to mention, Jon's also done solo projects.
I don't think Jon's voice is underappreciated. He's objectively an excellent singer with a very distinctive voice, Of course there must be some people who may prefer a different type of voice. Jon has lots of appreciators, personally I would put him in my list of 5 favourite singers. He never sings out of tune and his voice is so suitable for songs like Legend. I think some Yes albums are incredibly good and Jon is the icing on the cake of one of the best groups of musicians of the seventies.
WHY DID THEY NOT GIVE DARKNESS THAT AWESOME LOOKING STAFF IN THE FILM????!!!!! One of the greatest performances....one of the most underrated bad guys in film.....and they don't give him his Staff of Awesomeness.......
Syphon Filter THE DEVIL.LOVED BY HIS FELLOW DEMONS-ALAN7. ALAN1ALAN2.ALAN3. ALAN4. ALAN5. ALAN6. JESSICA2 AND JESSICA/ THE DEVILESS. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT A SHITHEAD!
Hearing this makes me sigh just like i did after watching Legend. Bittersweet. Happy that everyone was getting a happy ending but sad the movie was over. Legend was a fantastic movie, glad my mother raised me on it.
"Sweet Songs of Youth, The Wise, the Meeting of all Wisdom... to believe in the good in man." Right there is my philosophy. Since I was a child and first mesmerized by this movie and this song. I believe in the good in man based on those three tenants..
Don't' put your faith too much in man my dear, they are a disappoint. For the hearts of men are generally dark. Only the few of the enlightened ones, are able to realize, and see through the forests of confusion, and night, in this world of discord, and imperfection.
imperialphoenix. You are living in a fantasyland !!!!. Man and woman are the most wicked creations that god has place on this little blue rock, a virus.
I'm sorry, I think it's hideous, I think it's absolutely ugly, it was a bad mistake to add lyrics and Jon's vocals to this music in my opinion. I would have much rather listen to Courtney Love sing this instead of Jon Anderson, and I'm serious. Awful!
This is one of my favorite songs...in truth, I think it is something that has stayed in my heart since I was little. And it goes with the list of such movies like Conan and Red Sonya...
This soundtrack is my favorite of all time. Tangerine Dream & Jon Anderson are amazing! This is still one of my favorite movies after all these years, even though Tom Cruise is the star!!!
Although, Tim Curry really steals the show!! Not only with the makeup and costume, but his fantastic acting gives the movie some “reality” and “realism”!!
Might be the most beautiful song I've ever heard. Haunting. It makes the movie, along with Curry's performance. Jon Anderson is from another realm, and to have Tangerine Dream and Jon do a song together is nirvana. It doesn't get any better than this song, which lives in its own time and space, a singular work of genius.
I love this. This is one of many songs I want played at my funeral when the time comes, because I want to see my brother, my father, my grandparents, the list goes on. Mom's still alive right now, but if she's gone before me, she would be one of the people I would want to be greeted by.
Straight up tragedy to lose Edgar Froese today. Among the very elite of the pioneers of electronica, along with likes of Vangelis and Jean Michel Jarre. This particular piece, the intro for the movie Legend, was and is, in my humble opinion, one of the most beautiful tracks ever made. Thank you for the Electronic Dreams Edgar!
How? Why? I can't, and I never could accept it. I find it absolutely unbearably awful. I'd much rather hear Diamanda Galas' voice, and I am serious. How can anyone appreciate this annoying voice? In my opinion, the music is just fine without the stupid lyrics and Jon's hideously ugly voice.
They could make a video game that follows the Legend storyline even more than Legends of Zelda. Actually tell the story through a RPG real-time action games like The Elder Scrolls series. Goblins, Elves, Faeries, undead mummies, Blix, Pocs, Blunder and Tic. Have a Tom Cruise-like character have to go from forests, valleys, mountains and to swamps and upgrading armor/weapons to fight the Lord Of Darkness and his goblins. Just a thought.
I've seen the mystics play there Once or twice but I knew they had a reason Enchantment plays it's cards all right Hand in hand with the workings of the seasons Legends can be now and forever Teaching us to love for goodness sake Legends can be now and forever Loved by the sun, loved by the sun Loved Two and two go so close together Whether there is hope that is torn apart In the words of all that's singing Hand in hand the beginning is at the start Legends can be now and forever Teaching us to reach for goodness sake Legends can be now and forever Loved by the sun Loved by the sun Loved Who sings of all of love's eternity Whose shines so bright In all the songs of love's unending spells Only lightning strikes all that's evil Teaching us to love for goodness sake Hear the music of love eternal Teaching us to reach for goodness sake Legends can be now and forever Teaching us to love for goodness sake Sweet songs of youth, the wise, the meeting of all wisdom Sweet songs of youth, the wise, the meeting of all wisdom Sweet songs of youth, the wise, the meeting of all wisdom Sweet songs of youth, the wise, the meeting of all wisdom To believe in the good in man. To believe in the good in man. To believe in the good in man.
I went to this when I was five and have probably watched it 100 times in 35 years. Absolute masterpiece in my opinion , the music is incredible, the story of good vs evil is stellar, the cast is near perfect, the 80s where so great . Now as a dad at 45 , watching with my kids and cant help but get emotional , and nostalgic at the same time.
brilliant film loved it ever since I was a child still grown up to love it from this day and this song suits it really well an amazing song for an amazing film
I was born in '92 and i watched Legend,labyrinth,never ending story...all those movies. my kids are gonna do the same, these movies have such a great message in all of them. it makes me look back at my childhood and smile. great stories:)
I have this on a crappy old VHS. Now I need it on DVD. I love this movie - so do my kids - now late teenagers. I remember, when they were bored or were being a pain, I'd stick this video on, and there would be silence for two hours. A classic that will never be bettered!
Jon Anderson has the voice of an angel. No apologies! thanks for posting this!

I was 2 the first time I saw this movie, and the first time I saw Lord Darkness .. I gasped and my heart stopped. Not out of fear but because until then I had never seen anything like him and I thought he was beautiful. First crush and will always have my love.
OMG...I thought I was the only one who was completely mesmerized and attracted to Lord Darkness. I know it was only a character but wow...it was a pretty strong reaction as a young girl.
I can't hear that part now, where the singing fades, without hearing Tim Curry's sinister frickin laugh in the background. I love the theatrical release of this movie so much better than director's cut (not that it wouldn't have been cool to just have a few more scenes added)
OMG I finally found the movie's ending song that I just remembered was one of the most beautiful songs I've heard and when I reviewed Legend I was horrified that Loved by the Sun wasn't on the soundtrack anymore... Thank you so much for that!
I want this song played at my funeral whenever my time comes to be with the Lord, Jesus, my sister, my grandpa, my uncle, and my great grandma. Whenever you are ready lord.😏
The first time I heard this I was obsessed with it, and I couldn't find out who was singing. Years later I discovered Yes and freaked out with excitement to learn who their singer was. Of course, I became a Yes fanatic, and this was the beginning of my love affair with progressive rock.
This song and this movie remind me of all the other fantasy movies of the 80's: Never Ending Story, Willow, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal and Return to Oz. That last one I mentioned is greatly underappreciated. Great score on that movie too!
I've searched Amazon, I've searched music services... No one has THIS song on an album anywhere that I can find. I'm happy to have it from here, but boy would a CD be ideal.
Matthew West You can convert RU-vid videos into an mp3 format using the documents app if you have an iPhone. I think there’s also a RU-vid video explaining how to do it.
I knew i was not crazy! Of my 3 copies of the film i knew this was missing. Being a 80's baby. Now i can rub this in my cousins face and win an argument!
