Genre: Pop, Stage & Screen Style: Pop Rock, Theme, Soundtrack Year: 1985 Sources: YouTube & Apple Music "St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)" is a song by British singer John Parr that is the theme song from the 1985 film St. Elmo's Fire. It reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart on 7 September 1985, remaining there for two weeks. The record peaked at No. 6 in the United Kingdom, Parr's home country. The song yielded Parr a Grammy nomination as well. "St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)" was written by John Parr and David Foster. Foster had been impressed by Parr's song "Naughty Naughty" and invited him to perform the title track for the St. Elmo's Fire film. Originally, another song was chosen which Parr disliked. "That song sounded like Fame II or Flashdance II," Parr later said. "I thought the movie was supposed to have more class than that. It was a regurgitated song, and I didn't really want to sing it." Foster showed Parr a news clip about the Canadian athlete Rick Hansen, who at the time was going around the world in his wheelchair to raise awareness for spinal cord injuries. His journey was called the Man in Motion Tour. Parr decided to help the campaign by writing words that would fit vaguely with the film, but which directly referenced Hansen's efforts. The song was created and edited within 24 hours. According to Parr, he and Foster wrote "St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)" "between 2 and 4 on Friday afternoon". Joel Schumacher, the director of the film, had given Parr rough guidelines for the lyrics. "He wanted a song about determination," Parr recalled. "He wanted a song about kids who are growing up and have to make decisions about what to do with their lives. That's what the movie is about." Parr added, "In the movie, St. Elmo's is a bar. But to me, St. Elmo's Fire is a magical thing glowing in the sky that holds destiny to someone. It's mystical and sacred. It's where paradise lies, like the end of the rainbow."
