Ever hear a really well-done movie sound track, whether it's original music by the modern masters (John Williams, Howard Shore, James Horner, et al) or a well-known song that so perfectly captures the moment that the music practically becomes a character in the story?

I caught a song last night that felt that way for my real life: Lyrically, musically, even visually, here's where I'm at today. You?

 


All questions of dentistry aside....

Ah, the Salford song. Thankfully the town has improved a lot since that song was written :lol:
 
It's all there, all the feelings of a lifetime.



I love that sound track... Basil Poledouris was the goat.

From the time before the oceans drank Atlantis until the rise of the Sons of Aryas there was an age undreamed of , where shining cities lay across the earths mantle like jeweled crowns . Unto this came Conan : thief , reaver , barbarian ; one day to become a king by his own hand but to wear the crown upon a troubled brow . It is I alone , his chronicler , who can tell the tale . Let me tell you of the days of high adventure . ( begin soundtrack ) .
 
Wouldn't a soundtrack have at least a dozen songs on it?
Have you ever watched every episode of Jonny Quest ? It’s like Star Trek with a different theme for every scene . You may not know the thrilling crescendo which accompanies Race Bannon in his climactic duel with the Baron and the biplanes but surely you will recognize the music which goes with Kirk and Spock dueling in “ Amok Time “ . The opening theme and the closing credits theme are just two of the great tapestry .
 
What is best in life ? “A fleet horse , the open steppe and falcons at your breast “ . WRONG ! ! ! Conan what is best in life ? “ To crush your enemies , to see them driven before you and to hear the lamentation of their women “ .

He is Conan... He does not listen. So I listen for him. But Crom from the top of his mountain listen to the four winds brought to his ears by this masterpiece.

What is best in life ? “ To put this score on your sound system, to see the volume driven before you and to hear the lamentation of the neighbors“.

After posting, I listened to it once more. Loll.

If it' doesn't stir you, I wonder what would...
