https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rui5NfPp5hI Whenever I hear this song I have goosebumps. And every Greek above a certain age has goosebumps. Why? It’s just another song you might think… No, it’s not just another song. This song was the official song of the Eurobasket of 1987, a competition that Greece won. This was our first major victory at that level, a surprise to all, even to us because we had never won anything up to that point. This boosted our confidence and we had more successes in sports in the years to come. And all started in that hot summer night some thirty years ago… And now whenever I hear the first keyboard notes, I immediately think about the final against Soviet Union, that unbelievable basket of Nick Galis ( at 1:22 ) and the free throws that earned us the victory. When we Greeks are united and work towards a common goal, we kick major ass. This rarely happens, but that’s a whole another story. I don’t think there is any other song so much connected with a sporting event and I am glad I remember it up to this day. The Rules... -Choose one song from your high-school/college years. -Write a few words about who made you listen to this song for the first time, what this song means to you (was it a breakup song? you blasted it at 100% on your audio system when you were partying with your friends?) whatever you want. -Write your text while listening to the song. As soon as the song ends, wrap up what you where writing and submit it. -Do this for 7 days in a row if you get nominated -Mention one person who should do this on each day. -Tag it with #musicwaybackchallenge and include these rules at the bottom of your post -Follow @greek-trail for great content made by our fellow Greeks! I nominate @everybody and if you don’t like the rules , change them ! **And until the next trip on the music memory lane … Be healthy , Smile and Steem !**
