The project of carrying out this report has been delayed over the years, which is why I had opinions about the song from many big names in the scene, especially about people who were children in the 80s or who triumphed in that decade. The fun of it all is that, as you will see, the protagonists start talking about Michael Ende or about Wolfgang Petersen. Everyone asked knows the mythical Moroder theme, but it is not a stellar theme for everyone. The most surprising response was that of the very nice Sharon den Adel I think they confused the question by having a song titled “The Neverending Story.”
Soundtrack of our life, we can remember those moments again when Atreyu fly on the lucky dragon I’m sorrywhen the horse Annual sinks into the swamp of sadness or when the hero passes the first magic door under the deadly gaze of the sphinxes. There are so many iconic moments… And let’s also remember that the writer Michael Ende He hated the movie because the adaptation of the book is only present in the first part of the book. He literally disowned the film and accused Wolfgang Petersen of not having understood anything…
“Absolutely, it had to be on our album. That is, if we go abroad and want to play at festivals, my big dream is to play with Venom, or bands of this style, and having to go out after them, and play the lyrics to do karaoke. And we are going to end the concerts with “The NeverEnding Story”. And instead of having the eagle Saxon We would love to have the huge flying monster from the movie that comes down from above (laughs). That is my dream…” (Chris Laneyleader of At the Movies and producer of Ronnie Atkins)
“We have a song called “The NeverEnding Story”, and I think it is a perfect song in the sense that we explain the story and that things repeat themselves again and again, again and again… and that is a disgrace. No kingdom or power remains the same forever. Wars come and go, people come and go, and despite everything, we always leave a trace of love. A bit it would be a similar lyric to “Dust in the Wind”. And sometimes, some things seem very big and important to you, but time passes and then those things don’t matter to anyone, everything fades away, people forget you. The Earth will continue to rotate and things will change. Things come and go… that’s the theme of our “The Never Ending Story.””. (Sharon Den Adelvocalist of Within Temptation)
“It’s not exactly one of my favorites, but I would say it’s a classic song.”. (Niilo Sevänenleader of Insomnium)
“¡Ooooohhh! My favorite song on that soundtrack! Although I would also mention “Ivory Tower” (he sings it). Both would be my favorites in the film. I love the songs and I love the movie, also the book Michael Ende. In fact, I reread it 10 years ago. The first time I read it I was a child and it seems like a great world that is worth returning to from time to time”. (Johannes Eckerströmleader of Avatar)
“I saw the movie a looong time ago, but I don’t remember the soundtrack, if I’m honest. Maybe I should watch it again”. (Luka Van de Poelbattery DeWolff)
“If you don’t like that song and that movie, you don’t have a heart. I still remember that dog that flies, and he is magical… I saw it in the cinema and I stayed with that song. LI saw and the trauma was significant. I was little and I went to the cinema, but then I didn’t speak English or Swedish. And I remember that when the horse dies… phew, it’s a trauma. In the end it seems that it does not die… But one leaves with the impression that the horse dies in the quicksand. And the trauma lasts until now (laughs).” (Martin Lopez, battery Say)
“I love the song and, furthermore, I grew up with that movie and I have the image of it engraved in me. Limahl Singing that song. This song literally blew my mind and I still think it is a spectacular song with its own identity. It was something unique and that vocalist was fully recognizable. Great song with a great vocalist”. (Marcus Åblad, bassist of Nestor)
“Oh, the theme of the movie (sings it). Let’s see… the only connection I have with that song is the film. I saw it as a child and found it acceptable… What I will tell you is that Wolfgang Petersen was making that film and I would swear it was the greatest German film in theaters up to that point. And I’m sure they wanted to have a hit like that”. (Alex Krullleader of Atrocity and of Leave’s Eyes)
“Yes I know the movie (sings the chorus of the song). ¡Limahl It was the guy who sang that song! That song didn’t have a big impact on me (laughs). I would tell you that it was a great pop song and little else”. (Johan Längqvistvocalist of Candlemass)
