Limahl The Neverending Story

The NeverEnding Story, also titled The Never Ending Story (L histoire sans fin) in the French version, is the title song from the English version of the 1984 film The NeverEnding Story, performed by Limahl, lead singer of Kajagoogoo, and Beth Anderson (though the video for the song features actress and frequent Limahl backup singer Mandy Newton). It was a success in many countries, including Norway and Sweden, where it was a Number One hit, Austria, Germany and Italy, where it peaked at Number 2. The song was composed by Giorgio Moroder with lyrics by Keith Forsey, although it (and other electronic pop elements of the soundtrack) is not present in the German version of the film, which features Klaus Doldinger s score exclusively. In 1984, the single peaked at, 4 in the UK singles chart and at, 6 in the US Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. As a reference to the film and its title, the song has no distinctive beginning, nor an end. While many songs fade out
