Exceptional video. I emailed Stephen Brunt at the Globe and Mail to congratulate him on how well he captured the Canadian experience of the games. He replied back to me, so I’m sure he would get back to you regarding the song name at the beginning of the montage @scarrsyma

Thank you Mr. Brunt for this wonderful video keepsake, I’ve bookmarked it so I can always return to it…to remind me of how good we all felt…how good we all feel…about our wonderful country and countrymen. Thank you Vancouver, Whistler, all of B.C. and all of you glorious athletes and fans….for making these Olympics the very best ever. Collectively, you’ve captured the heart of this aging Torontonian and the respect and admiration of the whole world.

thank-you : this is …
thank-you : this is sooo perfect. I remember they aired this right after the game and before the closing. Torontonians as well are sharing this sense of bewilderment and ‘postpodium depression’ (Gary Mason, Globe and Mail). It’s uniting to know we all feel the same way now. How do we keep the fire alive?
