"The Greatest Flame" is a 1993 single released by Scottish celtic rock band Runrig, released as the second single from their eighth studio album Amazing Things (1993). It was released by Chrysalis in the United Kingdom and across continental Europe.
The song was re–released as a remixed version in 1996 alongside the release of the bands compilation album, The Best of Runrig – Long Distance (1996). Like the original release in 1993, the re–released version was a commercial success in the United Kingdom, reaching number thirty on the UK Singles Charts, six places higher than the original release in 1993. The 1996 version spent a total of three weeks within the UK Top 100 Singles Charts.[1]
