Antarctica (Vangelis album)

Antarctica is a Vangelis soundtrack to the 1983 Japanese film Antarctica ("Nankyoku Monogatari") by Koreyoshi Kurahara. For years, the soundtrack album was only available in Japan, appearing in other countries as a rare and expensive import, when in 1988 Polydor finally decided to release the album worldwide.

CD Covers

There are two different CD covers, one predominantly white and the other depicting a frame from the film with the dogs. In each CD, the unused cover serves as the back of the booklet.

    Antarctica

    by: Midnight Oil

    I'm a snow plow, I must now plow on
    I'm a snow plow, I'm a settler's son
    Well, I'm a storm cloud
    (I'm a storm cloud)
    Rain myself all over the place
    I tell you, I'm a storm cloud
    (I'm a storm cloud)
    You gotta wipe that storm right off your face
    (Wipe that smile right off your face)
    There must be one place left in the world
    Where the mountains meet the sea
    (One place left in the world)
    There must be one place left in the world
    Where the water's real and clean, yeah
    (One place left in the world)
    Landslide
    (I'm a landslide)
    I, I'm a downhill run
    (I'm a downhill run)
    Well, I'm a landslide
    (I'm a landslide)
    Open season's, ya, it's just begun
    (Open season's just begun)
    There must be one place left in the world
    (One place left in the world)
    Where the skin says it can breathe
    (One place left in the world)
    There's gotta be one place left in the world
    (One place left in the world)
    It's a solitude, distance and relief
    (One place left in the world)
    There's gotta be one place left in the world
    (I'm a snow plow)
    There has to be one place left in the world
    (One place left in the world)
    One place
    (I'm a snow plow)
    One place left in the world
    (One place left in the world)
    I'm a short fuse, I'm a slow blues
    (One place left in the world)
    I'm a landslide hummin, I'm a downhill runnin'
    There must be, there must be
    (One place left in the world)
    There must be one place left in this world
    (One place left in the world)
    Where we can be
